[QUOTE="Techster, post: 324609, member: 360"] I was at GT during the late 90's early 2000's. My walk to classes (my freshmen dorm was Smith) passed BDS and up the Hill. One day while walking back from class, there's was a big shiny white Mercedes stopped at the intersection of Bobby Dodd and Techwood. I looked into the car and saw probably one of the biggest and most high profile BBall players to ever come to GT. He was still an SA at GT. That shiny white Benz was seen around campus a lot during my freshmen year. Could have been someone else's Benz he was driving around, but I doubt he had the means to get it himself... A HS football teammate of mine played at an SEC West school, and later for the Titans. He started as a true freshmen. During Fall practice before his freshmen year, he got homesick and a friend picked him up and took him home to GA. Coaches pleaded with him to come back, and he said he loved the school, but he missed home a lot and he couldn't afford a car to go back and forth during the weekends. Coaches had one of the graduate assistants who he was close with call him to tell him to go back to school ASAP, he'd find something there to help him with homesickness. He returned that night to find keys to a shiny tricked out Nissan 240. He also said there was an understanding that as long as he stayed in school, he'd find an envelope of cash every week in his gym bag on Thursdays. His head coach got fired after his JR season, and those cash envelopes he was accustomed to getting on Thursdays stopped when the new coach came in. He declared for the NFL shortly thereafter. Bag men exists. [/QUOTE]
