Grant Field 100 Year Celebration

[IronJacket7]

Eric,
Do you have any idea what Tech greats will be in attendance or honored in any way at the game?

 

[Blumpkin Souffle]

36 All Americans will be on hand for the game Thursday.

Isn't it the 100th anniversary? Now in the 101st year.

 

[OldJacketFan]

it is an amazing list of players and a lot of wonderful memories came out when I read the list

 

[GTrob21]

I hope they honor them at a time when the stands are filled.

That NC state game was the first game I took my son to. True history

Bobinski said that the AA's would have an autograph signing session Thursday before the game but I have not found out the info on that.

Has anyone heard if that is really happening and when and where?

I will be down there very early for the Jacket Walk and anything else I can take in but would especially love to get a football filled with GT AA's autographs.

 

[IronJacket7]

Yes. Anyone with info on this please post. I would love to get autographs of some of these legends.

The GT home page has a nice article up with some transition videos from the past to the present:

This is from their page with VT game info. Sounds like you can meet them after Yellow Jacket Alley.

Georgia Tech All-Americans
Georgia Tech has invited All-Americans to be a part of the celebration. More than 35 All-Americans will lead the team down Yellow Jacket Alley before the game, meet & greet fans at Wreckfest and be recognized during half-time.
