    GT's Long Snapper is a PHD Student

    That likeness of Clint said a lots about Tech football in 1942 and how tough the players were back then. Bobby Gaston, Tech football and basketball letterwinner, was Clint's teammate in high school and at Tech. Bobby wore number 19 the season after Clint volunteered for the Army Air Corps...

    Thank you. I see it moved a bit to the left and that big space where it was for many years is now used for big posters.

    GT's Long Snapper is a PHD Student

    I talked to Derrick yesterday. He and I both talked to Lucius and no one has heard of anything for the Heroes Day next weekend for the recognition of military veteran letterwinners. At least last year Lucius and I worked hard with the athletic department's Lucius Sanford and Tom Conner to get...

    GT's Long Snapper is a PHD Student

    DeepSnap, it is quite evident that you and I know each other and ate many meals for four years at Twiggs Tavern, also known as the training table. And went to many study halls together 5 nights a week. I was one of those scholarship basketball players who was told what my major would be and...

    GT's Long Snapper is a PHD Student

    Henry did his math and figured out how to apply for a PhD program. He had 30 AP college credits coming out of Woodward Academy in College Park. His ACT was the highest possible at 35, putting him in the 99th percentile of all students everywhere. Georgia Tech's average ACT score is 33, with...

    11/6 - MBB vs. Georgia Southern

    Northeast Stinger, Rich was just what you say he was. A truly great basketball player and student and person. A model of a Georgia Tech student athlete. And Georgia Tech prepared us student athletes for just about everything and how to survive just about everything in life. I was fortunate...

    11/6 - MBB vs. Georgia Southern

    I agree with the referee. The players on the court and on the bench are grown men adults and should not be doing such things to cause their team problems and their school embarrassment. Beat the guy on the next play down court, if good enough. Discipline, talent, and sportsmanship wins games.

    11/6 - MBB vs. Georgia Southern

    The coach seems to be a good teacher of basketball and creates shooters in his likeness. I recall reading that he set a new NBA record of shooting 23 three pointers in a single game.

    11/6 - MBB vs. Georgia Southern

    Back in the day...Our 1969-70 season was similar to this one, following several seasons short of national recognition. We were ecomeing a more seasoned team and Rich Yunkus was in his junior year. Attendance was slow as normal for our position in the deep south football world. I pulled...

    2023-24 Predictions

    We do remember all you fans who showed up and cheered us on. Bob is doing fine in retirement in Florida and Rich in Benton. But his knees finally gave out on him more than he would like. We all are looking forward to getting back to Tech for the letterwinner reunion after the holidays. Bobby...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    I had the sometimes humbling experience of playing in the late 60's and early 70's against some of the countries' best players whose coaches were the developers of today's offenses and defenses. Our Coach Hyder was a student of the game since he went to Tech on a football scholarship which he...
