[QUOTE="Deleted member 6494, post: 913430"] [HEADING=2][B]CHAPTER 14[/B][/HEADING] The 1960 season started off fairly well with victories against Kentucky and Rice, but an emotional saga lay ahead for the Dodd’s. Bobby Dodd Jr. had made the High School All American team and naturally assumed he would attend Georgia Tech and play for his Dad's team. Dodd did not think it proper to coach his own son, so he convinced Bobby Jr. to attend Florida and play for Ray Graves. As fate would have it, Bobby Dodd Jr. was the key element in Tech’s loss to Florida in the third game of the year. Tech lost to Florida and Bobby Dodd Jr. 17-18. In the 5-5 season of 1960, Tech had lost five games by a total of 11 points. It was a disappointing season for Dodd. The Florida game was one of the most emotional games for the Dodd family. Dodd was disappointed by the loss, but proud of his son. Bobby Dodd Jr. was thrilled to win, but felt sad it was against his Dad. Most of chapter 14 was devoted to the tale of Bobby Dodd Jr. and the Florida game. [/QUOTE]
