    RIP Bobby Caldwell, Starting FB Center 1962 (Link)

    Weird indeed. It was explained to me recently by a friend who was an SEC official at that time. You could substitute only one person at a time. When the ball turned over , the quarterback came out first. The "defensive specialist" replaced him. When the offense got the ball back, the quarterback...

    Mac Nease baseball park

    It's Historic (1913) Grant Field @ Bobby Dodd Stadium. They go together like bread and butter. Grant Field is the oldest on campus playing surface in college football and is the area where the plastic grass now grows. Use to be the number one expertly manicured natural grass playing surface for...

    Your First GT QB

    Stan Gann.....It was a gray, overcast, cold November day and I was a high school sophomore invited to Atlanta for my very first recruiting trip. Stan ran an option up the east sideline heading north and gained about thirty yards. Sellout crowd went crazy. Me, being an option quarterback, loved...

    Off Season How well do you know Georgia Tech Football

    Bart Starr.......Who was hurt when we (The Atlanta Falcons) played the Green Bay Packers in Milwaukee County Stadium in 1967. One of the biggest disappointments in my playing career was when I heard that the game was scheduled in Milwaukee rather than in Green Bay and Lambeau Field. Bratkowski...

    The Handshake

    Exactly.... From a player's point, the problem would be if he didn't do this. He should have just waved at Narduzzi and headed straight for the officials. The obvious bad calls happened last week with NC State too. How long is this crap going to happen ? Both games were winnable with a fair...

    Favorite Georgia Tech Defensive Stand Of All Time

    So true. Namath was knocked out...but still on his feet. He bent over at the waist. Raised his hand to come out but Bryant motioned him to stay in. The McNames and Toner interceptions were two of the four he threw that day. Now you know why. The picture of Billy Martin coming shoulder high and...

    Favorite Georgia Tech Defensive Stand Of All Time

    Jerry was up and down. Won the '64 Auburn game and the '65 Gator Bowl as a substitute .Then threw 5 interceptions against Tennessee. Consistently a decent punter though. It's hard to remember a two sport letterman much less a three sport.
