Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate is the name of the college rivalry between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Georgia Bulldogs. The two schools are separated by approximately 70 miles and have been heated rivals since 1893. The rivalry extends beyond sports and into the work place as many alum work together and interact on a daily basis.

Football

The game has been played 100 times according to Georgia Tech and only 98 times according to Georgia record books. Georgia discredits two games in 1943 and 1944.

The record between the two teams is 57 Georgia wins, 38 Georgia Tech wins, and 5 ties. Georgia has currently won five straight games. The longest Georgia winning streak was 7 games from 1991-1997 while the longest Georgia Tech winning streak was 8 games from 1949-1956.

The first time the two teams met the Georgia Tech Blacksmiths defeated the Georgia Wildcats 28-6 on November 4, 1893. The disgruntled Georgia fans began throwing rocks at the Georgia Tech players and chased the players back to their awaiting train. The rivalry has been heated ever since.

Basketball

The Georgia Tech and Georgia basketball rivalry can be just as heated as its football counterpart. Georgia Tech has 99 wins and Georgia has 83 wins in this series but Georgia Tech has not defeated the Bulldogs in Athens since 1976. A major factor in this streak was that most of the Bobby Cremins era games were played at the neutral Omni until its destruction in 1997.

Other Sports

Georgia Tech and Georgia enjoy healthy rivalries in all other sports in which the two universities compete most notably baseball, women's basketball, and various club sports. Three baseball games are played every year. Two are played at the respective colleges' baseball stadiums while the finale is played at Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves.
