Without a doubt the best, fastest WR GT ever played against in the Carson-Fulcher eras, including USC's Lynn Swann & Sam Dickinson, ND's Tom Gatewood, and the long list at Tennessee and UGag. Pat Sullivan would throw the ball as far & high as he could & Beasley would go get it. Terry even made...

Received word today we've lost Charles M. "Chip" Pallman..... I can still hear the late Jack Griffin, Chip's position coach, going "Ohhhhhh, Chippppppper....." when Chip would drop a pass in practice. It's not been a good week for TechExes. In the span of 4 or 5 years, I've now lost both of...

One of the "all time, all time" nice guys to ever play at GT. First met him when Lenny, John Battle & IIRC Jim Carlen came up to Dalton to visit with the local FCA chapter & that got expanded into a school-wide assembly. Had no idea Lenny was in the NW Georgia/Chattanooga area all these years...

Link If you scroll through the photos, there one of him rebounding against Kentucky & that looks like UK A-A Cotton Nash getting a face full of Caldwell's back side.

https://www.fraziersonfuneralhome.com/obituary/james-culpepper He was one of the life presevers in August 1968 for us incoming GT Freshmen football players as Jerry Glanville introduced us to the speed & conditioning levels required to play at that level. He was never hesitant to take on...

Middies only threw the ball once.

Waaay too young OBIT LINK

Ray Guy was an all-time/all-time player at Thomson HS, the same school that gave us Eddie Lee Ivery a few years later. QB, DB, LB, P, PK, he led Thomson to back to back state titles in '67 & '68 He made the NFL HoF as a punter, but was also a tremendous "straight ahead" place kicker at Southern...

Passed today at age 88. NFI. Will update when info available.

A fairly apolitical type from his public writings... should be a good choice. LINK

Back in the '90s when she was Clinton's SECSTATE, the common line re: "General" Albright around the various US Combatant Commands was they hated to see her show up..... "She never found a country she didn't want to invade."

Another of Dodd's Boys from the early Sixties...... Sorry for the quality, but this is what they sent to the Letterwinners instead of the usual OBIT link.

The Guy Who Preceded Billy Lothridge Obit

Letterwinner 1960-1962 LINK Losing a lot of guys from the early 1960s now.

Howard Hesseman has passed away

With all the talk on TV this weekend over Big Ben's pending retirement, haven't seen anything on any Tech boards about his GT connection(s). His dad, Ken (IM '78), was a non-lettering QB for Pepper Rodgers & a 2 x letterwinner for Jim Luck's Beesball team in '77 & '78. And IIRC, though I can't...

Former Georgia Tech Football Letterwinner (1975-1978), All-American and Georgia Tech Hall of Fame Member, has passed. No further info. Will update later.

Frank was a good guy... one of the few on The Hill who tried to help the GTAA if he could. If you're wondering why should anyone care, if you graduated anywhere from about 1968-2000, look at the bottom of your diploma. Link

ESPN LINK And you thought N-I-L was gonna be bad? This has been tried (& failed) at Florida about 1970 when the Gators' star players QB John Reaves & WR Carlos Alvarez et al tried to organize under HFC Doug Dickey. Mostly it was the players recruited by Ray Graves who rebelled vs Dickey...

It's the 50th(+1) Reunion of the 1970 9-3 Jackets. COVID delayed us a year, and we've lost a few more teammates to other causes, but we'll be there. Yes, Renso (AKA Rock) did a little arm twisting, but it's probably the last time we'll get together like this. BTW, there were only nine (9) FBS...
