[QUOTE="rosebud78, post: 152269, member: 2314"] Hit wrong button! My grandfather grew up on north Ave. My mother's boyfriend, growing up, always had season tickets, but wouldn't go whenever it was raining. So, my first game at grant field was in 1984? Vs. Tennessee. If my memory serves me correctly, we won 17-14, in a driving rain, the pk for Tennessee slipped in the mud and fell straight on his back! I was ten. I always went to mud bowls growing up. I went into the army after high school, I was ready for college, and it was a rebellion from growing up in Inman park( hippies). I tried to get into tech, I had a 3.0 gpa in hs, but got 27 on act. Even had a great letter of recommendation from Dr Bill Sayle, he was dean of electrical engineering at the time, and was married to my mother's best friend. Also, went to plenty of games with them( they only had girls and had season tickets to everything). Well ended up going to Alabama. I was and still am disgusted with their fans, after going to tech games my whole life. Actually all sec teams fans are terrible, maybe vandy is ok. LSU and Tennessee are the worst imo. They all wanted to fight if they won or lost. I also never liked the fact that the football players barely seemed literate, much less college material. I always wore my tech garb around campus. I've always loved Atlanta and tech was the home team. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
