[QUOTE="DaddyBill, post: 104603, member: 317"] Okay, many of you youngsters have no idea this happened, but Thanksgiving week "back in the day" had a very special occasion. The annual Tech-Georgia freshman game on T'giving afternoon. There would be a large crowd at BDS, where it was always played, to watch the freshman class of each team take to the field. You see, freshman did not play on the varsity back then. IIRC, the shriners promoted and hosted the game, with the theme being "strong legs run so weak ones can walk". It was a great way to enjoy the day after having turkey and dressing...since there was usually only one NFL on TV and it was normally the Lions. At times, and especially this year, I wish they still had that game. It gave you a good insight to the future. [/QUOTE]
