I grew up in Marietta and went to Osborne High School

Bet you know some of my family. We lived in Fair Oaks when I was born, had we not moved I would have gone to RL Osborne. Went to Sprayberry instead!

I lived right next to Osborne High School and walked a mile to school every morning

Small world to be sure!

Home of Burke Academy! My high school played them.

I went to Thomson, I think Burke academy plays Bairwood

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I’m from Thomson and at one time they did have a dog mascot. Now I can’t say for sure that is it, but I think they had it around mid to to late 80’s. I think someone started it again in the 90’s/00’s

The poster is from the 60s or possibly 70s

Who do y'all think will carry the GT-USF game will it be ESPN or ACC Game of the Week? I think ESPN will wind up carrying it as an early game.

The timing would be right. I think it migrated to Atlanta with Jerry Mays.

Uphill both ways, I presume.

Can't be the ACC Game of the Week since it isn't an ACC home game. The AAC television contracts can have games on the ESPN/ABC stations or on CBS Sports Network. The major home games for the AAC that week are:

• Arizona at Houston
• Memphis at Navy
• North Carolina at ECU
• GT at USF

Just a guess, but CBS probably takes the Navy game. Arizona at Houston will probably be a 3:30 or later game. GT-USF and UNC_ECU will probably be somewhere on ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPN News. I doubt either of those games will be put on ABC or ESPN.

GT vs USF is most likely gonna be on CBS sports network

I bought the "original" poster in the 60s or 70s

I'll take your word for it, but I didn't see it before the '80s.

I saw it in Thomson, Ga in 1977 or 78.

A retirement gift to yourself?

It's so nice to be loved.

Is that the 1860s?
