I was at a party in NC the night Roof to NCSU was announced. A very big State alum asked me about roof. I said bend don't break philosophy. He frowned and said same with Huxtable which fans there don't particularly like. I said to get used to it. I think they recruit about at our level so they will have similar results. They think roof was hired to replace Hux when he retires.

Too bad there was no audio or anything at all identifying the two teams. It was not until after Tech's second TD that I was sure the boys in gold were Mizzou and not Tech.

The gold worn by Missouri was the same gold worn by GT i believe in the 1936 GT-UGAG game. The Atlanta Journal writer called the color of the uniforms worn by GT as being mustard yellow.

Damn it! You made me look bad again but I am pretty sure Stephenson was some kind of all star perhaps in a later year. Two All Americans on the line that year? Almost unheard of for a Tech team even from that era.
