According to his in-game self introduction he only went to Alabama

To be fair, on draft day, he had a GT helmet and an Alabama helmet on his table. That’s more respect than most transfers give. He also gave me a THWG when I was wearing my Tech hat at a charity event with NFL players over the summer my employer hosted. He seems like he has nothing but love for us. He’ll never be a GT legend, but considering where our program was at that moment, I can’t really blame him.

I do not understand the compulsion to denigrate a head coach that took us to a bowl every season and overcame the institute's attempt to destroy the football program, as well as significant roster issues and injuries that were not his fault. Blam him for keeping Par Nix as a QB coach and OC, but to suggest he was a bad coach is flat wrong.

CGC is not Chan Gailey.

Good to know, I had wondered how they would approach the intros on SNF given the portal. I did hear someone last night mention two schools.

The hate (or ambivalence) for Gibbs is crazy to me. He played at Tech, gave us some incredible moments and has shouted out Tech on more than one occasion. Dude showed he would be special the first time he touched the ball and I'm glad I got to see him in a Tech jersey. If only we had a competent coaching staff at the time...
