[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 974176, member: 6776"] DeepSnap, it is quite evident that you and I know each other and ate many meals for four years at Twiggs Tavern, also known as the training table. And went to many study halls together 5 nights a week. I was one of those scholarship basketball players who was told what my major would be and for the most part what classes I would take. That was a good idea because I had never heard of calculus until I had to take it my first semester. We did have algebra in my southwest Georgia high school though, and I was the valedictorian of my senior class of 35. I was very proud of graduating in 12 quarters with a 2.6 GPA, or the Army would have drafted me like they did basketball letterwinner Tommy Bowling , who heeded one quarter to graduate, was drafted, and earned the silver star, bronze star, and purple heart in Vietnam. He came back in 1973 and graduated. I was one of those lucky ones who had a low draft lottery number and had to remain in ROTC for four years and then had full ride to join the army with real money, and very happy to get that. Jobs were scarce in 1972. Footballers Meade and Herman are good friends still today, as well as baseballers Mike Sorrow and Cam Bonifay and footballer and trackster Brent Cunningham . All us scholarship athletes got to know each other since we all ate together most every meal. We were very fortunate as Georgia Tech student athletes to know all the other athletes (and cheerleaders :) ) and to maintain lifetime friends and acquaintances. My above average GPA of 2.6 prepared me for earning three more advanced degrees since then, now retired from the Army and from the defense industry corporate world. [/QUOTE]
