Yes, was right for GT.

Traffic in the Triangle is pretty bad, especially on I-40 around Raleigh/Cary. But you're right, it doesn't compare to Atlanta's traffic. It's why I left for Charleston 20 years ago (but now our traffic is terrible).

"And what constraints does Duke not have that we do. Don't use the calculus thing either. It is a watered down version of what engineers take. Duke is higher ranked academically than we are. So whst- they obviously have a better coach and a better system than we do. Definitely better defense."...

I'm not a big fan of Durham. I've told people that it always feels like a rainy day there, even when the sun is shining. But my in-laws live there and love the place. Many people I've talked with do like the place, and I see it being attractive for a lot of people. Even if you don't like...

Perhaps, but he would have been hamstrung by the same constraints CPJ has been under with the Hill, academics, Braine, etc. Who knows how that might have turned out... He may have already been run out of the Flats by now. Plus, CPJ is simply more entertaining a character.

I'm still happy Paul Johnson became our coach. I was pleased with the decision at the beginning, especially with what he did at Navy. When Coach Gailey was hired, I winced in much the same way I did when Bill Lewis was hired. It seemed like an unnatural fit for Tech, as if they just decided...

Know it's a bit off-topic, but hey, after a disappointing game...

At least LSU might beat UGA today.

Back when I was a kid, the college all-stars played an NFL team each year. I remember this game. I think it was the last one ever played. Some of these games were surprisingly competitive, and I think the college players actually won a couple times. (They also had a game in the '70s with...

Honestly, looking back over the past 40-45 years of sports in Atlanta, I think it must be an "Atlanta" thing. Perhaps even a "Georgia" thing. UGA should have had at least 2 more NCs during that span--if not during the Herschel years alone. The Braves realistically could have had another 3...

I don't know how it was to play for Coach Curry, but it was similar for a lot of those guys when Bobby Ross came in. For a season or two it was essentially a crisis situation, with pockets of open hostility towards coach Ross and his staff. For what it's worth, a friend of mine flew Citations...

Still my favorite Tech player of all time. He came along at Tech during my second season of Pop Warner, so he was just as huge a hero to me at that impressionable age as guys like Roger Staubach, Kenny Stabler, Franco Harris, Steve Bartkowski, etc. Really missed seeing him in a Tech uniform...

I rooted for both the Yellow Jackets and the Bulldogs way back when because they both represented the state of Georgia. Our Pop Warner program at Murphey Candler used to bus us out to Athens each season to see the Bulldogs if we sold enough raffle tickets. Leftover Tech tickets were given out...

As a kid watching football via the rabbit ears, you didn't get to watch too much Tech football, or much of anybody else... Just a few games were featured each Saturday, so you grew to like one of the regional powerhouses. In the '70s I liked USCw because they had some exciting running backs...

And Fellini's Pizza.

You don't have to be from a small town to enjoy that... I grew up just outside of Brookhaven, and was still amazed to walk across that bridge and look down at all the traffic! One of the best views at night was braving the Downtown Connector after sundown, coming from Grady Hospital back...

I remember having a metabolism like that once... I don't think I was ever above 175 lbs the entire time I was in school, and I was already 27 years old when I finally got out. My numbers were always good despite what I ate, and I never worried too much about it. But a few years ago, all the...

I can't believe I only ate at Junior's twice the entire time I was at Tech! ...And I lived in Techwood for two years! Speaking of the Engineer's Bookstore, my first memories place it in the building where Pero's later was, across North Avenue from the AE wind tunnel. I'm not sure if I've got...

They were one of my most disliked teams of all time (alongside UGA). Mainly because they always got excellent pre-season rankings like Ohio State and always seemed to get good press, no matter how well their teams were doing. Also, Marist used the Notre Dame fight song (Marist was our main...

Unfortunately, most of my top Tech games have been on TV instead of live. I was at Tech from '87 to '94, but not enrolled during 1990. My weekends that year were spent working at Pero's, so I missed seeing that entire season live (though I could hear the crowd noise from across the street)...
