The main thing putting Georgia Tech on social media today is their Week 1 college football game against Colorado (Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes) on Thursday night, September 3, at Bobby Dodd Stadium. video.search.yahoo.comIt’s a rematch of last year’s season opener, which Georgia Tech won 27-20 on a late Haynes King touchdown run. This year’s game added extra storylines: a wet/slippery ball that led to fumbles and sloppy play on both sides, a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown by Georgia Tech’s Rahkeem Smith, and a “revenge” subplot. @pear90083Georgia Tech defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas, who transferred from Colorado, posted before the game that he wanted “revenge.” Colorado fans quickly mocked it, pointing out that he left the program, so the revenge angle didn’t make much sense. That exchange circulated widely. profootballnetwork.comA separate viral moment during the broadcast was a blonde Georgia Tech athletic trainer who appeared on camera. Viewers immediately started commenting, and posts predicted she would become a meme. That side conversation is what several people are referring to when they say Georgia Tech is “trending” beyond just the score. @RiggsSportsTalkIn short, it’s the combination of a nationally televised rematch with built-in drama, highlight-reel special teams, messy weather-affected football, and one unexpected sideline appearance that turned into online chatter.
