Last year, they had the trophies out there. And, the Ramblin' Wreck for fans to pose with. Cheerleaders all around. Then, players are available under tents at stations by position group. CPJ has his own tent. Fans just line up and wait their turn at the various stations. Then, you can get pictures with players. Autographs on posters, etc.

It's all on the turf at Bobby Dodd. As you'll see in a minute, we were recruiting the Morgans and had just gotten their commitment at the time. So, we walked up on this great moment as coach Andy "Big Country" McCollum was greeting the Morgan twins. Of interest, their then 14 yr-old "little" brother was with them and is almost their size already! He's the one with his back to the camera over on the left.

How great! Go figure that I would post 3 pictures and 2 of you have already found yourselves. Well, I'm glad.

(Btw...we're watching "Beach Flip" on HGTV. But, @MrsDrJacket is actually studying her updated roster she printed out this weekend. She's trying to get all the new players/uniform #'s down. It's hilarious and cool all at once.)

I'll be there, at least with 2 of my 3. Would love to meet some swarmers.

Here's my youngest with Omoregie Uzzi back in 2012. We were thrilled to see they used the pic on ramblinwreck.com.

My wife just gave me the test on Jersey numbers. I missed three freshmen the first time but I got all the scholly numbers + Willis and McClellan second time around. Its a lot more fun when you can ID the players from posted pics and videos. I've been cramming for Fan Day.

I have purchased a 2014 orange bowl champions flag to have the players sign! It's one of the signs you hang outside.
We have had several different items from over the past several years.
Be advised for those who have never been, wear sun screen and sunglasses..perhaps a cap or hat as well.
It DOES get hot.

I saw somewhere that you can only have players sign one thing? Is that true? I'm planning on coming with my dad and brother but I don't want to go just for one signature

One autographed item per fan, per player (or coach). Just to prevent people from bringing 8 things and holding up the line.

They are lined up like an assembly line. I don't remember anyone taking inventory.
However, please don't use the 40 items in a 10 item or less mind set like when grocery shopping.
Lol.

I had two other people and myself getting signatures. I got two footballs signed by everyone on the team & CPJ. Plus other items with only one signature. One item CPJ signed was that big "Georgia Tech Football Vault" book which was a Christmas gift.

You got let in earlier last year if you had season tickets. The lines fill up fast with QBs desk and ABs filling up the fastest. Plus there is a long line for CPJ. And they were very specific in asking which one item you wanted to get signed since the line was so long.

If anyone is interested, I'll trade one of my 2014 footballs with all signatures for a football with signatures this year. I've got a virgin football (with stitched GT) that I can FedEx to you ASAP. Otherwise, I'll just try to buy one......
