Don't particularly hate them... For many years they were one of my favorite college teams after Tech (along with Michigan State, the 1970s USCw and the late 70s/early 80s Pitt Panthers). Very entertaining to watch with some fast, gifted athletes. Their teams had so much depth, their...

Clemson's defense acquitted themselves well in Athens until the 4th quarter... That was a hot, hot August day, very humid. I think Clemson got gassed in the 2nd half, and Georgia's depth at running back proved the difference. At that point all they had to do was keep rotating fresh RB's and...

He's a UGA fan who roots for Tech except for the last game of the season... :cool:

^^ Coach Tom Osborne was the guy who cast the "deciding" vote in the UPI poll (his vote made a difference, anyway). The Cornhuskers were the only team that played both Colorado and Tech that same season, and if I remember correctly, CTO said unequivocally that Tech was the better of the two...

I joined the Bbuzzoff site years ago because I was frustrated with the direction of Tech football and with Coach Gailey not being able to turn the corner (e.g., win critical, season-defining games and beat UGA at least once). I was looking for a group of alumni online who wanted to find a new...

Like how the venue is referred to as "Grant Field". With all respect to the late Bobby Dodd, it's still difficult calling it Bobby Dodd Stadium. Doesn't really sound right. Having only seen live games with any consistency during the Pepper Rodgers and Bobby Ross years (excepting the 1990...

I was born and raised in Atlanta and experienced (and once felt) a lot of this inferiority complex with regards to being from Georgia... I thought it was just me, but maybe the culture's part of it. Don't know whether the overall mood came from "losing the war" and the city being burned to the...

GT highlight film from 1972 featuring Coach Bill Fulcher. Roughly 26 minutes total footage. Victories over South Carolina, Michigan State, Clemson, Tulane, Boston College and Navy. (No footage of Liberty Bowl victory over Iowa State). Pt. 1 Pt. 2

Don't have a very impressive list of live games attended... Most of the big Tech wins I've seen have been on TV, including the entire 1990 season when I took a year off from school and worked at Pero's on North Avenue (the crowd noise coming up the street that year was intense). Saw quite a...

For the most part I like CPJ and would like to see him continue his career at Tech -- all the way through retirement (if he takes it up a notch and establishes a winning tradition). He graduates his players and seems like a good coach on many different levels. It's not often you see coaches...

Probably something DressedCheese would be good at answering, maybe Mack, or any others who know a lot about recruiting... I was wondering how big a component amateur scouting by alums plays in discovering new talent. With so many alums / lifelong sidewalk fans in various locales around the...

Ditto the Mark Richt comment. Though he hasn't run the team the best possible way (too many kids getting arrested and talent pool not coached up to their potential), it's hard not to like him, especially the way he gives his players second chances. He's one of the few SEC coaches who, after...

New York Times article on DeAndre Smelter from last month: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/sports/ncaafootball/yellow-jackets-run-first-but-receivers-are-stars.html?_r=0

Saw my first Tech game live during the mid '70s and became a fan in '76. Attended Pepper Rodger's football school as a kid in '77 and spent my Pop Warner years dreaming of playing for Tech. Though I never played football past the 8th grade (too small), I at least got to attend Georgia Tech and...

I've been a Tech fan since about '76... By then UGA was already beginning its current domination of the series, but as a young fan, I really couldn't tell. Memories of Dodd were still fresh, and there were probably as many Tech fans out there as Georgia fans, especially among the older...
