Mark Richt in a Georgia Tech pullover is sacrilegious

Mark Richt did the unthinkable by wearing a Georgia Tech pullover on Tuesday. If Dawg Nation hasn’t gouged its eyes out yet, it will after seeing this.

It’s going to be next to impossible for Dawg Nation to defend Mark Richt now.

The longtime former Georgia Bulldogs head coach tweeted out a picture of him wearing, I kid you not, a Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets pullover. We understand he works for the ACC Network now, as Richt also has strong ties to the Florida State Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes programs, but donning anything the Atlanta Trade School Bumblebees give you to wear is beyond sacrilegious.

Even though Richt owns Georgia Tech, having never lost a game at Historic Mark Richt Field at Bobby Dodd Stadium, you can’t wear clothing of the rival team you’re best associated with under any circumstances whatsoever.

Have you ever seen Steve Spurrier wear red and black polo waiting in line to ride Space Mountain at Walt Disney World before? Absolutely not! This is a fireable offense if Richt wasn’t already fired by the University of Georgia.

I can’t rule this out, but if you are a member of Dawg Nation and you put any Ramblin’ Wreck old gold and white nonsense on your body, all of your skin will peel off. All. Of. It. This is worse than when a formerly proud parent sees their kid rocking a sweet, delicious face tat after being on their own in the big city for only a month. Once you go red and black, you never go back. EVER!

This would be like Jim Harbaugh wearing a stuffy scarlet and grey sweater atop his perfectly pressed pair of khakis in the Detroit airport downing a tall glass of milk. Absolutely tasteless blasphemy. The only way Richt can wear that stupid T on his chest is if he lost a bet. In that case, honor the bet because you are a man of high character, even if your skin will peel off your body.

No, we are not trying to assassinate Richt’s character here. He is a good man and won a ton of games during his 15 years in Athens. He brought stability to a Georgia program that was all sorts of chaotic after Vince Dooley left the sidelines in the late 1980s. But then again, this is why Dawg Nation names their beloved pooches Dooley and Herschel and not Richt! You can never do this!

Do you want to see Ed Orgeron wearing something in crimson and white with the less-refined version of the Atlanta Braves’ A on it? Heck neaux!

Because Richt tweeted it out into the world, the internet will never let him here the end of it. Happy Tuesday, Dawg Nation. Richt somehow found a way to ruin yet another week in your life.

Why does this keep happening?
