[QUOTE="BigJacket, post: 355374, member: 3680"] I've been a GT fan for close to four decades and have seen us win a Natty in person. I love the rich tradition GT has in football and remember a lot of stories from Grandad when he was a student at GT. Just thought I would share some of my favorite traditions and things that have happened in the past of our football program.....What say you, what are some of your favorite memories or things that happened in the past involved with GT's program? - The 222-0 game vs Cumberland -Singing Budweiser song at end of the third quarter - We used to be called the Golden Tornadoes (I actually have a metal sign that was my Granddad's that says GOLDEN TORNADOES) - That famous picture of Marilyn Monroe wearing the GT sweater -One time when we used to play Auburn our team took a train down to the game and the night before the game some Auburn fans greased the tracks and when our train was arriving to the station it couldn't stop in time and it shot on down the tracks and the entire team had to get off and walk back to the station with their gear and equipment. -John Heisman was our coach -William Bell on cover of Sports Illustrated -The UVA game in "90 ( What an amazing staff: Boss Ross, O'Leary, and the Fridge) -4 Natty's -Two QB's have been runner up in Heisman- Watching Lil Joe use his whole body to throw those 50 yard bombs with pinpoint accuracy -Hearing George P. Burdell's name called out at away games -Eating at the Varsity before a game -Night game at Bobby Dodd and the East and West stands shouting "YELLOW" and "JACKETS" back and forth, makes the hair on back of my neck stand up So many cool things about GT football, such a great tradition! What are some of your favorites? GO JACKETS! [/QUOTE]
