There is a bit of animosity between Tech and UGA fans. Not a lot, but some. Nothing however, that approaches this. Seems one dude got so upset at the Longhorn T-Shirt, that he went about grabbing the dude by the nads and pretty much castrating him. I found the following excerpt to be very interesting:
Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn’t let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries.
“He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body,” said Thomas’ attorney, Carl Hughes. “He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse.”…….
Beckett, a 53-year-old church deacon, federal auditor and former Army combat veteran, has pleaded not guilty.
A nad grabbing, auditing church deacon…. in a bar no less. Go figure. Thought you might enjoy the humor in this.

I thought it was Texas A&M that castrated longhorns… oh yeah, that was Jackie Sherrill castrating the animal.
In all my years, never heard of a similar incident between GT and UGA.
Now, as for Beckett, couldn’t have been a Baptist, now could he?? Inquiring minds you know.

Like I have always said, I don’t get why people get so passionate about young men in tights running around hugging each other. Now look what the fans are doing. World, meet handbasket.

Yeeeeoooowch!
I had to take my hand to cover my own reading this one.
So if I was a rabid GT fan, do I need to protect my stinger around you UGA guys?
What if I was an Oregon State fan? What’s a guy supposed to do then? I have no answer for this, and will let it rest.
