  1. '51-'53 Tech highlights

    Yes, I was there with my parents. Late in the game, Tennessee was down 6-3 and quick kicked down to the Tech 10 yard line or so. My father told my mother watch this we will see some Tennessee football now with Tech backed up. Snow managed to get a first down to thwart that strategy and Tech...
  2. '51-'53 Tech highlights

    My dad had a math class with Pete. He said that Brown was the smartest guy in the class and was a great football player as well.
  3. '51-'53 Tech highlights

    1952 Jackets were loaded with talent having six All Americans of one kind or another. Leon Hardeman had a great game against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl.
  4. What’s the worst weather at a Tech game you can remember?

    I was working as a bag boy at the Big Apple in DeKalb County that day. I had on a poncho to bag groceries and take them to the cars but I was soaked through and through. I made over $50 in tips that day which was really good money for 1974. As a bonus, the produce manager had a radio on in...
  5. What’s the worst weather at a Tech game you can remember?

    UNC vs. Arizona State circa 1968 or so. A high school friend asked if I wanted to go so I said OK. It was brutally cold and actually snowed a little but was a great game with both offenses going up and down the field. Don McCauley ran wild for the Tar Heels but it wasn't enough as the Sun...
  6. FSU Bulletin Board Material

    I will grant Josh that FSU is talented...they always are along with Miami, UNC, and Clemson but with a lot of new pieces to put together and missing the heart and soul of last year's team they best not be measuring for the latest addition to their ACC championship trophy case just yet.
  7. Al Ciraldo? What was he like?

    Al Ciraldo was something else. He sometimes would get excited and mess up a play but Kim was there with the younger eyes to set things right. He was a graduate of Florida but spent his entire career at Tech except for a short lived experiment using Milo Hamilton for a year which riled up the...
  8. FSU Bulletin Board Material

    Going into the Clemson game, the defense was giving up 30 points a game which was 105th in the country. Rushing defense was something like 124th in the country. I will remain skeptical until I see the proof in the pudding.
  9. FSU Bulletin Board Material

    Summer is a time when players say things like this but it withers in the storm of the season to come. I will remain skeptical until the proof is in the pudding.
  10. FSU Bulletin Board Material

    There is always plenty of talent at FSU. The difference is not having Jordan Travis. That guy had that rare ability to get his teammates to follow him no matter what. A very special player that will be difficult if not impossible to replace. They lost a lot of talent but the writer's...
  11. My permanent solution to Georgia Tech uniforms. I designed these concepts myself.

    Interesting. Coach Johnson said in his first year that he had never seen a fan base so consumed by uniforms and color schemes. So here we go with the traditional summer uniform debate.
  12. 1950s Uniform Color?

    They wore both colors with gold pants. Looked pretty sharp to me. Of course, anything looks good when you are winning which Tech generally did in those days.
  13. ACC win totals

    That is when Georgia Tech is most dangerous. It has been that way for many years. IIWII
  14. Uncle Lou predicts seven wins for GT this year

    He is wrong. I think Tech will win 5 or 6. The FSU game may determine how the rest of the season goes for both teams.
  15. Article on Brent Key

    Disagree to some extent. Nix was not the one throwing passes here and there nor was he the one with the horrible performances against Georgia. He was pretty bad though. Why Randy Shannon picked him to be his offensive coordinator is a mystery.
  16. Article on Brent Key

    At what point with Miami in particular is it the players and not necessarily the coaches. Numerous debates on Canes in Sight about this. Besides talking about past glories and national champions, Miami fans enjoy running off coaches more than anything. In a roughly 20 year period they hired...

    Dodd has a lot more talent than what we have now, comparatively speaking of course. Besides he had control of the schedule and that meant avoiding Ole Miss, Mississippi State, (because of money) and making sure Tech played plenty of mediocre at best teams like Tulane, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Duke...

    Carson was not well liked by the players but found his niche as a defensive coordinator in the NFL Fulcher was going through or had been through a nasty devoice and did not have the heart for the game Rogers was bedeviled by recruiting and bad facilities along with poor relationships with...
  19. Re-Watched some old wins on YouTube....

    I would because I think we will win about 5 or 6 but that is just me. With the way the portal changes rosters it is hard to make assumptions about how Tech's opponents will perform. Beyond Miami, UGA, and UNC being good and UVA being less than formidable, I really don't know,
