Ran a 10k this morning in Marietta. Must have been at least a 5:1 ratio of people wearing GT gear compared to dwag crap.

Wow! That’s impressive.

I haven’t run a 10k in the last 15 years…. combined.

My family is under strict instructions - if they see me running, then they are to shoot whatever is chasing me....

I’m in Chicago right now for the holiday visiting my daughter and her husband. My SIL is an Evanston native. He said 3 or 4 kids from his high school every year come to GT.

Early in my career, as a female in engineering, saying that my degrees were from GT always gave me a boost of confidence. During introductions in business meetings, I could see the change in expression in their faces when I mentioned GT. Now I'm a consultant in an industrial engineering field, and it's still instant credibility. I went into one meeting where one guy was really proud that he was a Clemson IE. He introduced his colleague as an NC State IE. Then when I said I was from Georgia Tech, he deflated a bit.

Also went to a meeting with my GT backpack a few years ago, and found out that the customer played on the O line with Brent Key!

I was at the Phoenix airport last year and a 40 something year old TSA worker stopped me and asked me if I went to Tech (I had a GT hat on).

The guy had never even been to Atlanta, but was a GT fan his whole life because he fell in love with Kenny Anderson as a kid. Slightly different than what we’re talking about here, but he was SO passionate and excited to see GT in the wild that it’s always stuck with me.

I was in Midway coming back from the ND game in 2021 wearing a Tech shirt and hat. A lady standing in line next to me asked me why I wasn't embarrassed to wear Tech stuff after the way we played.
lol
If it had been a guy I would have told him to f**k off. I just said we will be back, don't worry.

Whenever someone says something to me like that, I just say I’m an engineering fan and it shuts them up.

I saw him again about twenty minutes ago just before the end of the parade, gawking at the Rockettes.

One of the bigger MUST Ministries fund raisers if I recall correctly (and a Peachtree Road Race qualifier). I tip my hat to you and those that ran this morning.

I was at the Cincinnati game last night and had a guy walk over to me 40 minutes before tip to tell me he loved Kenny Anderson as a kid. He thought we had a strong basketball program because of that era, which was flattering although not exactly true.

Most uga fans only run when the police are behind them....

I saw you made that trip. Thanks for supporting us! Hope you enjoyed the trip overall. I imagine that had to be one of the worst in-person GT performances you’ve ever seen in any sport though

I had a ton of fun. Every Cincy fan I met was great. The result was atrocious though like you said.

I've always thought there was a fan base out there for us, we just have to put the product on the field that they will support. I believe our Pres, AD and CBK will get it done in the not too distant future.

Ran the same race, but you’d think I walked it with my time.
At least I wasn’t another ugly mouth breather wearing red.

I don't think Chicago has a lack of fat, white guys. Maybe it will be the GT clothes that make you recognizable. (Hopefully that isn't too anti-PC)

"I don't think Chicago ( or Wisconsin ) has a lack of fat, white guys". Yeah, those weigh stations on the Interstates up here are not just for the trucks. Gotta make a MINIMUM weight to live here.........

Hah, I freaking threw my back out brushing my teeth a few weeks ago… finished 204/806. I just turned 40 and destroyed some Girl Scouts in my daughters fundraiser race last month in my first race since middle school PE…

I’m dying out there and there people that look like they float after escaping prison camps… I wish there was a hand to hand combat component to these races to help the 200 lbs dudes.
