[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 152002, member: 1640"] This is a great thread. To state the obvious, Tech fans are unique because in this state it means marching to the beat of a different drummer. When I was young growing up in Atlanta my family would celebrate Thanksgiving with several Atlanta traditions. We would go to an ecumenical worship service at the Temple, go to the Shriners football game between the Tech freshmen and Georgia freshman, go home and eat turkey dinner, and then finish up by watching the lighting of the Great Tree on top of the Rich's bridge downtown. Even though my father and uncle were die hard Georgia fans I found myself attracted to the uniforms of the Tech players and the style of the Tech fans. Tech just seemed like the perfect start to the holiday season to me when I was young. Seeing Dodd's teams play as a child cemented my love. Tech beating Texas Tech in the Gator Bowl with Lenny Snow out performing Donnie Anderson (I think) sealed the deal. When Tech rattled off 9 straight wins the following year I was hooked for life. Like all love stories there are many more twists and turns in the story but that is essentially how I got started. [/QUOTE]
