[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 290166, member: 2175"] Some of the posts regarding Bill Curry are instructive. I have been a fan for many years though the closest I've ever been to campus is to football games and a lifelong friend who attended the joint. In truth he does not seem to have been injured by the experience. They run in direct opposition to the views presented when a "Tech man" does or says something of note, but with which hardly anyone could disagree. Butker's, for instance. That is the epitome of Technitude apparently, a fellow who represents the highest traditions of the institute. Ah, but a countervailing view? Rub him out, never liked him much nohow. I know little about Curry but to my knowledge he has always represented what Technophobes always said they wanted and apparently believe they represent. He is bright, articulate, married -- once -- for 50 years above his station to a woman whom I believe has her ph.d., has been successful in his own life save for an unfortunate excursion into Alabama but even there I hand him credit for going into the lion's den. And however modestly he may have dissembled in his football recollections, and however short, pudgy, fat, lead-footed or dull he may have been, make no mistake: that man could play some football, years in the NFL, all-pro status, and center for the toughest football coach in America and several championship teams. That becomes of no moment to some, where there is no windage for disagreement. He is agin' you on this issue and therefore a nonTechperson. A lot of us thought a university education was broadening, and encouraged dissent. If not I wasted a lot of late night dorm beer. (And am I wrong in my recollection that said Curry was, if not instrumental, active in getting a fellow named Johnson hired on at the Institute? Whatever happened to him?) [/QUOTE]
