[QUOTE="91Wreck, post: 467809, member: 680"] I become a Tech fan around 1977 or 1978. My father was a basketball coach and he shared an office with the football coach in the gym. As a kid I would go into his office and look at a GT football calendar. I remember asking him "why did Georgia used to be called Georgia Tech"? He explained to me that they were two different schools. He went back into the gym and I grabbed a chair so that I could reach the calendar and take it off the wall. I remember reading about "wrong way Riegels" and seeing pictures of the Ramblin Wreck in that calendar. I was hooked. I was a GT fan and never looked back. I foolishly cheered for the mutts to win the NC in 1980, but I always wanted Tech to beat them. By my high school years I hated UGA. My junior and senior years Gary Lee and the boys made me proud. It sure was sweet because I was probably the only Tech fan in my school. I graduated from Tech in 1991, so I got to see some of the most exciting games in our program's history. My eyes saw the glory of the stomping of the dawgs in 1989. I was there for the Clemson game in 1990. I remember how loud we all screamed on that 4th down stop. I remember running outside onto Techwood drive after Sisson's kick against UVA and seeing the bonfire in the middle of the road. I was at the Citrus Bowl on January 1st of 1991. After college I married a cheerleader from Georgia State and turned her into a Tech fan. We raised our children to be Tech fans. Our daughter just graduated with a EE degree and she was a cheerleader for GT for the last four years. I am a proud GT fan and will be to the day I die! And this is a great thread. I have really enjoyed reading stories about all of you. It is nice to know that there are fans just as passionate as I am. We may not always agree about the direction of the program, but we are all in agreement as to how much we love Georgia Tech! [/QUOTE]
