CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Georgia Tech coach Brent Key is tired of hearing so much love throughout his home state for his biggest rival.
But with the Yellow Jackets on the losing end of five straight games against Georgia, Key said it's up to his team to change the narrative surrounding "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate."
"Is it annoying? Heck, yeah," Key said Tuesday of the Georgia accolades. "Kirby [Smart] has done a great job -- he has. And I told him, 'We've got to do something about it."
Key played at Georgia Tech from 1997 through 2000, when the Yellow Jackets went 3-1 in the rivalry, including a 1998 victory in which Smart played for the Bulldogs.
