How could I not have become a Tech fan? Back in the day (early '50s...I remember your dad's yellow jacket model airplane, bartoma...cool), everything was about Tech football...TV, newspaper, sport discussions, whatever. Beating the lowly dwags was expected (8 years in a row), as was a top ten ranking every year. And you guys think the dwags get too much attention these days? You were born too late. They were all but ignored in the fabulous '50s.
I thoroughly enjoyed those warm autumn days...watching guys play football that were not only outstanding athletes, they were also outstanding students and outstanding graduates. Many of them have done very well over the course of their lives. Having said that, let me add that the "never-give-up" achievement character of the 2014 team leads me to believe that future graduates will be talking about many of them in the same way.
