If the Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are playing this weekend (YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS, but they are), it's time once again to assess where this game falls in the UGA rivalry hierarchy.

And if you thought we'd make it past Tuesday without a quote from Paul Johnson sure to be repeated frequently by one side or the other after the game, you were wrong, as we didn't make it through Monday:
