9/11 20 Years Later and a Red Bandana

[HurricaneJacket]

For those that don't know, Boston College had a former Lacrosse Player named Welles Crowther. He died wearing his red bandana while being directly responsible for saving at least 18 lives as the towers collapsed that day.

Over on the GT Football Facebook group, a member suggested that we as a Tech fanbase wear red/burgandy bandanas to the game on Saturday in order to honor Welles's memory. I think this is a wonderful idea, and a way to bring a moment of togetherness into the season. This is not an official GTAA thing at the moment, but if you are interested, you can get red bandanas from amazon for very little money. Please consider participating, and Go Jackets!!!

I was at the Boston College v Virginia Tech game last week. They had the family on the field and the entire stadium was sporting red bandanas. Pretty cool tribute.
