It may come as a surprise to those whose formative years of Bulldog fandom took place since 1980, but there was a time when Georgia was truly a state divided.
For much of the 20th century the University of Georgia battled tooth and nail with the Georgia Institute of Technology for supremacy in the hearts and minds of the state’s residents. And to a great extent that pitched battle was mirrored in the college football recruiting process and eventually on the field of play. Tech won a national title in 1928, but over the next six seasons would sport an 0-5-1 record against the Bulldogs.
