    Favorite GT vs ND moment?

    I was at the game on Nov 15, 1969 against #9 Notre Dame, possibly the first fish tossing. Tech QB's Jack Williams and Charlie Dudish, RB Brent Cuningham and All American DT Rock Perdoni vs ND QB Joe Theisman and All American DT Mike McCoy. A great game with ND over GT 38-20. I could not tell...

    Fake defensive injuries

    With respect to others' opinions on the faking of injuries to break momentum or get a rest for defensive team, I maintain the opinion of Coach Alexander's "Code of a good spirit" of what a Georgia Tech athlete should that was written in the 1926 Blueprint. Two years later, Tech won their 2nd...

    Fake defensive injuries

    Maybe the players were not conditioned to play in NC. Sure did look bad on TV for Tech.

    Pray for the panhandle, S GA

    Thank you for asking GT33. When I learned before midnight last Thursday that the hurricane was turning eastward and not hit Tallahassee and then the farm in south Georgia, I took off to my primary home in Augusta, which was predicted to be in the new path. The drive was not too bad going up I...

    Pray for the panhandle, S GA

    My pecan farm north 25 miles of Tallahassee will take a hammering again, probably worse that Michael. The trees are loaded with nuts but still in the green hull, all likely to be blown out the trees and many trees may fall. With the large number of mobile homes in Grady county, casualties are...

    James from Atlanta

    I took the train I visited my brother in Nashville in the summer of 1967. He drove us back home to southwest Georgia in his 1957 Chevy Bel Air. The brakes failed when we were on Monteagle Mountain and we had to take a runaway ramp to stop it. Since he was a student at the Nashville diesel...

    TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    This is my personal opinion about the lawsuit and college athletics in general. If this case is actually settled, each of the14,500 plaintiff NCAA student athletes since June 2016 gets $125,000, a years salary after taxes (~$90,000) for a new GT graduate. All the thousands of athletes before...

    No. I graduated in June 1972 and began my Army career. VMI lost to Tech 36-7 in Bill Fulcher's 2nd year.

    VMI post game thread

    Agree wholeheartedly. And it was very respectful and showed good sportsmanship that the two head coaches agreed to play the two quarters after halftime at 10 minutes each, so I was told by a suite owner in the South end zone. As a military retiree, I have lots of respect for VMI, a 1,600...

    RIP MBB Pres Judy

    Ramble, you make a good point if that decision on which post season tournament was made today. But things were different back then when the NIT competitive with the NCAA tournament relative to talent. Then there were 25 teams in the NCAA tournament and 16 in the NIT, with the top 41 teams...
