Social Media Reacts: Georgia tops Georgia Tech in 8OT thriller
11/29/2024
Georgia and Georgia Tech haven’t played a lot of great games since the turn of the century. After all, Georgia was 19-3 in the last 22 games against their in-state rival coming into this year’s regular season finale. However, as the saying goes, you can throw history and the records out the window because this year’s game was an instant classic.
Georgia beat the Jackets 44-42 in an absolutely epic eight overtime game.
Here are a few of our favorite tweets from the game.
NCAA: “We’re gonna change the OT rules to make sure games don’t go on forever anymore.”

Congrats to UGA.
A College Football game being decided like that is an embarrassment. Officiating was a disaster again too.
But I love it.

“Ok what if we make them only run one play a piece from the 2 yard line when the game matters most.”
CFP Rules Ppl: Oh I lik—
“IM NOT DONE…
Then we make them walk 100 yards to the other end of the field and do it again.”

So we all…collectively know UGA lost this game, right? Is this finally the game that makes the football understanders go “ok, I don’t care what the final score says, Tech won this in regulation.”

Georgia tech is locking UGA down harder than the Clarke County Sheriff’s office.

Yeah I know UGA is currently losing by double digits to an unranked ACC team, but has the playoff committee considered that UGA hypothetically won this game since they are 17.5 point favorites?

When was the last time UGA got absolutely bullied in Sanford?
This was not a fluke, this was an ASS WHOOPING!

Obviously a lot of game left, but this is domination.
I hope this season ends the myth that the SEC is playing on another level than everyone else so we can have fair evaluation of teams. Wishful thinking, I know.
