No choice in the matter. Grandfather Tech man class of 22 . My father was at Tech when Japan bombed PH. Enlisted like every red blooded American and was transferred to Bradley for officer training and joined 96th I.D. . When the war was over, Tech would not accept his transcript from Bradley, so he finished his 4 year
in Illinois. Came home and had Season tickets from 50 until 2001 . Forgot to mention that my Grandfather had tickets to all home games from 1921 until passing in 1977. The time of his Graveside service was set so we could all get to Grant Field for the Auburn Game. I feel blessed to have watched Kim King , Lenny Snow, Jeff Ford , Rock Perdoni, Eddie McShan??, Kent Hill, Drew Hill. Lucius Sanford ,Eddie Lee Ivery, Randy Robinson,Robert Lavette,Jerry Mays,Joe Harris,Henry Johnson. The Fridge Mover, Pat Swilling, Marco Coleman, Ken Swilling, Shawn Jones, Big Play Clay, Coleman Rudolph, William Bell, Little Joe, Kelly Campbell, Ron Rodgers, Megatron, BayBay,Nesbit, and on and on. Only one team worth watching. THWG

You know what? More than you liking the option, or Johnson, or GT, what I really like about this is traveling with your daughter. Everything else pales. I have three sons and one daughter. I have done Civil War battlefields, Natchez (and the Mississippi Indian mounds), Selma and the Edmund Pettis Bridge, the Little Big Horn with one or all. Several years ago I took her to my HS class reunion in South Georgia. But the one trip I would not exchange for any of them was a trip with her to Gettysburg. A man has not lived until his daughter volunteers to join him in making that 1,400 yard march to Cemetery Ridge. It was supposed to explore her interest in archives and history. It turned into the most satisfying week of my life. I found it amazing how well we came to know each other without three brothers clamoring and thrashing about. Bet you had a blast.... . My daughter and I came down to the virginia game last year. It was our first time in Atlanta and we had a great time. I am hoping to make it back this year maybe for Carolina or Pitt if I can swing it.
Bonding at Bobby Dodd. Cool.You are absolutely right. Having her along made it truly memorable. Gettysburg is a great idea. I am going to try to make that happen. I am really hoping that I can start an annual GT home game tradition with my daughter. She doesn't care anything at all about football to be honest but she really enjoyed following along with the student section cheers during the game and we got our picture taken with the wreck, saw the players walk to the stadium before the game, got her a JT jersey, etc. Hopefully something she will always remember.
Who can forget. Not a single pass thrown. Just running it down their throats and they could not do a thing to stop it.1976 GT vs. Notre Dame.
Few years before my time but that sounds like the game plan for this years game! Sorry bit of track.Who can forget. Not a single pass thrown. Just running it down their throats and they could not do a thing to stop it.
We were young then. ND at 8:35. Enjoy. Apologies for the hijack.
I noticed the first obviously illegal hit; I missed the other one. That was typical of ND teams in those days.Enjoyable. Thanks. Interesting take on defense by ND. One of their guys chased one of Tech's, Ivery maybe, out of bounds and knocked him into a bench 12-15 yards off the field, and then one tackled the Tech back after a TD, out of the end zone, but paid for it when he couldn't stop and slammed into the fence himself. If we're lucky he knocked himself out.
