Coming to my first game at Bobby Dodd since the VT upset in 2009 - so looking forward to a great night under the lights on the flats!

But I have also managed to forget my GT hoodie - what're the options around campus these days for a 3XL hoodie? I recall the bookstore being pretty not great beyond 2X.

Got a car but stuck on business most of tomorrow before kickoff so will hopefully be able to scrounge something up when I land in a few hours.

Go Jackets!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look good. It's worth a shot, but you're right about the bookstore, the random 3XL might be laying around but they run smaller in adidas. (Don't forget to check upstairs. I did pick up the alpha boosts upstairs in the bookstore for only $65, there was a size 14 after the Miami win). I would look mainly for college geared stores or check online at different places for an instore pick-up. I only got one hoodie since an ex stole my other, or else I'd let you borrow/have it. Best of luck.

Much appreciated TooTall! I should have some time tomorrow morning before my first meeting to hit the bookstore and hope I can track one down. Walmart is showing nothing for pickup and amazon is SOL for next day delivery too. I didn't know if they had anything more hiding around campus or Atlantic Station that'd be a possible hit. Sure I'll turn up something!

I may have a spare 3x white sweatshirt I picked up at Walmart back in 2008 for the cold as **** Thursday night whiteout game against Miami. If I still have and can find it you’d definitely want to wash it. 😛

Hah I don't need it that badly - worst case a navy hoodie and GT hat will do the trick

Surprising place to pick up nice GT Gear: TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

There's one down the road on Ponce De Leon across from Ponce City Market. Another option is the Howell Mill location right off of the I-75 before you hit the 75/85 connector. The one by Lennox usually has REALLY nice stuff.

Usually, there's plenty of the larger sizes. I picked up an Antigua GT quarter zip pullover last weekend at a TJ Maxx for $29. A nice surprise find while out looking for kitchenware.
