I remember him as a Pop Warner coach at Murphey Candler in Atlanta. He coached one of the other teams we played against in the Yearling League back in the mid '70s. Someone said he'd played for the Falcons, which I thought was a pretty big deal at the time. It wasn't till a few years later I...

The ending to that game was one big sigh of RELIEF. Atlanta used to be 50/50 Tech vs. UGA, and the state seemed to be fairly split as well. After 1980 and Herschel, that all changed. And ever since then, the Atlanta media still won't let you forget about 1980. Had they won this one, you'd...

I don't like the loud canned music myself. There are a lot of things that take away from the fan experience these days, but if the players and younger fans like it, it's probably OK. The cartoon whistle after each first down took some getting used to, but I like it now. We have a really good...

I don't hate UGA like I used to. Those really intense feelings from my youth are mostly gone. I have too many close friends who either went there or had a dad who went there and are fans. But I still pull against UGA in whatever game they play... at least in football. When they lose, it's a...

UGA Schudule 2018: Sept. 1 Austin Peay: WIN Sept. 8 at South Carolina: May possibly lose this one. 50-50 toss-up. Sleeper game after a win over weak FCS opponent. Sept. 15 Middle Tennessee: WIN Sept. 22 at Missouri: Likely WIN Sept. 29 Tennessee: WIN in a close game. Oct. 6 Vanderbilt...

I object to calling Coach Richt a piece of "ex...", and I also wouldn't lay the blame for the thuggery on him. As far as the football culture is concerned, Georgia has had a thuggish culture going back probably as long as I can remember, which for college football, that's the mid '70s. Most...

It started in 2012, I think. The year they made that incredible late drive to beat LSU in the Peach Bowl. It included a couple improbable 4th-down conversions, capped by the field goal. After that game, I thought they were on trajectory for a title... maybe not the next year or the year after...

It's kind of like with us. For so many seasons -- at least since Herschel -- the Bulldogs have always seemed to get inside the Jackets' heads. Prior to 1980 it wasn't that way. But since then, only a few Tech teams, or a few standout players, have managed not to let the "UGA mystique" get...

UGA undeniably has a good team this year and is loaded with talent. They've got good depth and a pretty stout defense. The AJC has said in recent days (paraphrasing) that we'll learn more about Tech in the coming weeks as it enters the meat grinder of its schedule, but to date they really...

If the offense continues to roll like they've been doing and break records and the Heels are put away really decisively, then possibly after that. If they win against Miami, then for sure. Tech has already received some votes after the Pitt win.

This is a good forum to put this thread in because it's not a discussion about UGA per se, but what Tech can expect to see from them come November. If Tech had beaten UGA in Atlanta as often as they have in Athens over the years, then it might be a little premature for the discussion. However...

Been a Tech fan for a little over 40 years. A lot has happened during those years... a lot of losing seasons, some really terrible seasons, some excellent seasons, and a few seasons that were practically sublime. In between some of the good seasons have been some pretty awful stretches. In...

There's a web site called www.hockeyetcvideos that looks like it might be what you're looking for. All the games prior to the 2006 game are still in the VHS era, so unless someone digitized them, they'd be hard to find. There's very little on YouTube, except highlight footage. You might send...

I never knew this game was even played... Two days prior to blowing out Team USA in the exhibition game at Madison Square Garden, the 1980 Soviet team travelled to Erie, PA to play a tune-up game against the Erie Blades of the EHL. That must have been a real thrill for those guys... minor...

Helmets protect the skull from fractures but do little for concussions, since it's a question of sudden deceleration, not blunt trauma. The type of internal padding can help some, but it only goes so far. Mario Lemieux has been working with Bauer to produce a hockey helmet that can reduce...

Eddie Lee cut more across the grain than Mills. But as he got older, he became more physical and leveled his pads into tacklers a lot more. Was a really bruising runner by the time he became a senior (1978). He was very good in short yardage situations and could run tacklers over at the line...

Eddie Lee Ivery highlights at: 2:45 7:40 8:55 10:20 and multiple runs at 14:55 Don't remember this season well, but was at the Tulane game, watching the game from the west stands over by the steam whistle. In the film Tech can be seen platooning RBs, with the elder David Sims as the main RB...

As a Chamblee guy, it's hard to think anything good about Marist... They were our "UGA"... Majorly disliked, hardly ever beat them, but on the rare occasion we did, it was huge. We lived across the creek from Marist, and it was irritating hearing their fight song (the Notre Dame song) every...

Was just shy of 13 y.o. when these Olympics happened. Was old enough to be aware of the Soviets' prowess, but too young to understand just how much of a long shot it really was for the US team. For anyone who doesn't remember these games or wasn't yet born, it's still easy to relate to this...

I think more skill is required to win games in ice hockey than what Mr. Maubussin's graphic and calculations show, though the other sports are probably about right. This past week during an overtime period in the Kelly Cup Finals (ECHL), a Stingrays player fired a slap shot that hit the upper...
