[QUOTE="WraleighWreck, post: 887752, member: 5009"] I grew up in NE Ohio as a die-hard Cleveland Browns for as long as I could remember. I didn’t really care for college football, watched Ohio State on occasion but had no real affinity. I started at Tech in Fall ‘88 never having seen a Tech game in person or on TV and not knowing Tech was in the midst of a major rebuild and hadn’t won an ACC game in a year or two. I went to my first game a few days after stepping foot on campus - put on a tie, invited a date and snuck in a pint of bourbon. It was more about the social scene then but couldn’t help starting to become a jacket fan. Two years later we are busting into Bobby Dodd to tear down the goalposts and burn them on corner of techwood and Bobby Dodd way while our team celebrates a huge win up in Charlottesville. Also got to experience the Lethal weapon 3 final four team team during my time on campus. I have lived in Raleigh for over 25 years and have been lucky to be able to travel less than 30 minutes to see the jackets play one of the local teams at least once a year. Also made an annual trip to Atlanta with best friend from tech for most of the past 25 years so our sons could experience games at Bobby Dodd. When asked about my Tech experience - my reply is - great school, tough as hell, was lucky enough to be on campus when Tech sports were at their peak. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
