Clean Old-Fashioned Hate

One of America's great traditions is the college football rivalry, the annual "big game." Students, alumni, fans, players and coaches live it all year - and sometimes loner - like all their lives. Georgia and Georgia Tech ranks right at the top as one of the most heated and colorful of these traditional football feuds. The series has seen everything. Clean old-fashioned hate is a complete history of this series. Every game is covered in detail, and features names, events and eye-witness reports. Read about that first brawl-filled afternoon in Athens in 1893...the feuds, fusses and fights throughout all those early decades...read about one of the strangest touchdowns in football history. Read about the now-comical details that led to the six-year severing of athletic relations between the schools in 1919...Tech knocking Georgia out of the Rose Bowl in 1927...the mud-splattered games of the thirties...and Georgia knocking Tech out of the Rose Bowl in 1942. Read about Tech's eight-year strangle-hold in the fifties, Georgia's dominance in the 1970's and '80s, and UGA's roaring comebacks in 1971 and 1978. And, of course, read about the bitter and controversial game-ending situations in 1997, '98, and ;99. This Seventh updated edition is 600 pages and includes over 400 photographs, illustrations, and newspaper headlines, plus a never-before-compiled records section, including the all-time individual scoring, all touchdown passes, field goals, long scoring plays, and much, much more (from the inside dust cover).
