Brothers and sisters it is Gameday!

This is what you have been waiting for; a warm late fall day, a night game, at home, with conference championship & playoff implications and your Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets lead by none other than The King.

Friends this is what CFB is all about.

Chores? Those leaves are still wet from the overnight rain. Youth sports? Come on man, it's almost Thanksgiving. No, today is all football all the time. The ACC huddle is in town and on the Tech Tower lawn. HPB starts at 3 with your '80s favs. Tailgates will be everywhere. But tickets are scarce. Shoot, it would be worth going down to campus even if you had to watch a TV in the parking lot. It's Gameday and everything is on the line. Campus will be like Quarter Beer Night at Grumpy's back in the day; a non-stop party and you if you play it right you don't even have to have any money. I'll be in W21 with a beer for you if you need one.

So get up and get your gold on. Pack up your cooler and get down to campus. Bask in the glory of a Saturday Down South. Get ready to cheer the Brave and Bold get their next victory. IT'S GAMEDAY.

No tickets? E$PN has got this one and all the fuss is over so if you are paying someone for your TV the game is yours, or $80K and go to a bar. Got tix? Get into Grant Field by 6:30 as it is Senior Night and appreciation must be shown.


Toe meets leather at 7PM.


GO JACKETS!


GIVE 'EM HELL TECH!


BUST THEIR A$$!


STING 'EM!
I’ll be in W21 as well. Message me your location and we’ll get together.

Well said!!!

I guess this is inflation at a practical level. A decade earlier it was dime beer night at MJ Pippin’s. Ha!

I blew a midterm in that joint once on dime beer night. But here it is almost 50 years later and I remember it like it was yesterday. Maybe that’s because all of us there got to see Mr. October become Mr. October. The date? Tuesday, October 18, 1977.

What a way to enjoy a sporting event! Do what Clyde Bricks suggests… you may end up, decades later, regaling GT folks on a sports forum of what you did before GT beat Pitt and clinched a berth in the ACCCG… the year we won our last national championship!

GO JACKETS!!!
Penny beer at Jerry’s.

I worked at Six Flags back in the'70's (when it was a fun place to work), and a lot of the crews showed up Thursday morning barely able to function thanks to the Mad Hatter. The legal drinking age was 18 back then. I thought it was a nickel for the beer, but I may be misremembering because of the dead brain cells from the MH days.

GO JACKETS!
I played in a Dixieland band at Six Flags in 1975. Cool story?

Leaving South Georgia in 10min. Truck is full of go-go juice. My mutt fan lady friend is going to wear gold in her first trip to BDS.

At the end of the game, regardless off the outcome, my Jackets have made me proud this season.

Philo and all the underclassmen have big shoes to fill, but they are Tech Men and up to the task. Minimum of 3 left to play, but win the only game that matters-- the one today!

Seniors, man what a wild ride. You will all go down in Tech lore as laying a foundation when we were at our lowest. My hat is tipped to all of you. My respect has been earned.

Now. It's. The. Time. It. All. Comes. Together. 50,000 Yellow Jacket fans drowning out the pipsqueek of a roar from some ugly colored panther. The D plays out of their mind with 3 take-a-ways. King makes his statement.

All Hail the King and his Court!

So Pippin’s, One-Eyed Jack’s, Manuel’s, and Moe’s & Joe’s were the tavern of choice back in the day. Manuel’s was the swanky joint. You had to wear your clean jeans there. 😝

All great places to go before or after a game.
I used to eat at Perot’s Pizza while a student. Also Junior’s Grill.
