The Russian government is a mafia. Europeans know it & we keep failing to understand it. They don't "negotiate."

As Clean Old Fashioned Hate week opens up, Tech is a 20.5 point underdog. But no one has beaten Georgia Tech by 20 points this year. Georgia, in my mind, also may be the best team Tech plays, but it's not the highest ranked. Notre Dame is now ranked 6 (Tech lost) & Miami is now ranked 4 (Tech won).
