If GT played Tennessee Georgia Tech had black jerseys with gold stripes while Tennessee would have black jerseys with orange stripes. The football pants were khaki colored and pretty much stayed that way until the late 1930s. The black jerseys with different colored stripes disappeared for...

Here's a good example of the way jerseys were then in this case 1921 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_Georgia_Tech_Golden_Tornado_football_team#/media/File:TechJudyRed.jpg

Team caps weren't readily available to your average fan until the mid 70s.

Back in those days jerseys for all the teams were black jerseys with stripes sown on like gold for GT,orange for Tennessee and red for UGAG.

The 1905 GT team was even better they went 6-0-1 @The Flats)North Georgia College W 54-0 @The Flats)Alabama W 12-5 @The Flats)Cumberland College W 51-0 @The Flats)Tennessee W 45-0 @The Flats)Sewanee College T 18-18 @The Flats)Georgia W 46-0 @The Flats)Clemson W 17-10

I remember that from the Good Ole Fashioned Hate book ;)

GT took advantage of poor play by UGAG. They blocked a UGAG punt that went over a wood fence and was recovered next to a creek for a touchdown(It was legal then).

I think the guy with the white sweater on his knee was future GT head coach William Alexander

Everything then was defense and the kicking game. Until 1903 field goals were 5 points

Passing was illegal in 1904. Tennessee was 3-5-1 in 1904

I've never been able to figure out why Robert Neyland and Bobby Dodd hated each other so much. I think a lot of it was GT beating Tennessee 27-0 in 1947 and 34-13 in 1949.

The first great team at Georgia Tech was the 8-1-1 1904 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets coached by John Heisman. The Georgia Tech football program had been pretty nondescript with two winning seasons since 1892(2-1-1 in 1893 under Frank O. Spain and Lt Leonard Wood and 4-0-1 in 1901 under Dr Cyrus...

I remember a story that was in the Good Ole Fashioned Hate book about the 1916 GT-UGAG game about a GT fan who was in Athens for the game(A 21-0 win for GT) and staying at a boarding house. He went to dinner at the boarding house and a pretty woman asked the man who he was rooting for in the...

Here's a picture of Grant Field during the Cumberland College Game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916_Georgia_Tech_Yellow_Jackets_football_team#/media/File:Tech_vs_Cumberland_1916.jpg

GT played well except for 4 plays

Josh Conklin is getting paid by the Clinton Foundation ;)

I love reading about GT football history

Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech i put on the same level academically and it has caused a lot more problems for Vanderbilt in Sports than it has for Georgia Tech.

Peyton worked so hard at being a great quarterback far beyond any other NFL quarterback. At Tennessee he spent two hours a day or longer looking at game film.
