    UA or Nike...Please help.

    These were the same uniforms they wore in my first Georgia Tech football game in 1961. They wore white jerseys and pants (instead of gold pants, which caused quite a stir at Bobby Dodd's decision)...

    Finally Home; Impressions of the Game and Ireland

    One thing about the game, and this year's team. I'm seeing a lot of opinions that extrapolate last years team performance to the BC game. I'm not a detail analyst of X's and O's. But I have watched a whole lot of Georgia Tech football teams over the years. This year's team does not look like...

    Finally Home; Impressions of the Game and Ireland

    We stayed at a castle the first week we were in Ireland, on the Irish west coast about 15 miles north of Galway. I found it several years ago on vrbo.com (vacation rental by owner) and 'put it in my pocket', waiting for the opportunity, which the Tech game gave me. Libertyturns told me I needed...

    An area called the 'Burren', a strange but beautiful landscape, almost 'Alien '. Even on a rainy, windy day the beauty of God's creation is humbling and awe inspiring. We were driving on a highway called "The Wild Atlantic Way" on the way to the Cliffs of Moher..... The Cliffs of Moher...
