[QUOTE="TechBurn, post: 540543, member: 4342"] It might be interesting in sharing our football memories while at Ma Tech, or big games that we personally experienced..... I was there in the early 70’s, back when our true rivals were Tennessee, Auburn, & of course, #1 Georgia,,,, these were the teams that we wanted to beat! Clemson & most of the Florida teams were considered a sure win! ( guess times have changed!?!?) Rock Perdoni was considered the big man on campus! We all thought that he was huge at 5’10” and around 260 lbs! He could sure dominate a game defensively along with Smiley Gebhart!! I remember that they decimated FSU in 1970! One unsung hero on that team was a DB named Rich Lewis... Against Tulane at BDS, in a rainy and cold game, he intercepted 2 passes and ran them back for TDs. We beat Tulane 20-6! To give credit to the enemy, we all felt that we had Auburn well in hand that year,, but Pat Sullivan teamed up with Terry Beasley to crush us in that game! Pat Sullivan went on to win the Heisman.. He is probably the best college quarterback that I’ve ever seen live. I do remember a number of fist fights with Georgia fans! One time was after the junior varsity game traditionally held on Thanksgiving Day (I believe?) At the end of the game, fans from both sides rushed the field and a melee occurred! I punched a GA player in the helmet & almost broke my hand! Guess I paid some stupid tax on that one!!. I could go on and on about away game experiences, etc., but I’ll leave it for others...
