I won't leave any doubt about my age and will just say up front that I am 74 and closing in fast on 75, and I am looking forward to my 58th straight year of attending Tech football games, 53 as a ST holder.

There’s a special place in heaven for GT fans who have endured nearly 6 decades of misery interspersed with a handful of amazing games/seasons. Bravo to you sir and all of your elders and peers!

There is no place I would rather be on a Saturday in the Fall than in BDS cheering on the Jackets, win or lose.

Turned 72 yesterday. Attended UVA (class of 1969). but have attended games since childhood - say 1951 and remain a fan. Old enough to remember some really old stuff. Saw Wade Mitchell play; Theron Sap without his teeth, GT-ALA 7-6 (1962) and many others. Had dinner (really) with Coach Bryant in Memphis around 1980 - told him I'd attended GT-ALA (1957-58, his first in Tuscaloosa). Urban Henry won (10-7) with last minute field goal. Bryant made face, noted Dodd was tough. Then changed subject. Met Coach Dodd when I was a boy at Fitz Orr's football camp (late 1950's)... Saw the (Baylor) Bear under South stands.... Good memories - for a fossil.
