[QUOTE="MWT89, post: 374189, member: 2586"] My dad graduated from Tech in '54 (BSCE) / '56 (MSCE) and started taking me to football games in the mid-70s. I don't remember my first game but it was during the Pepper Rodgers era. Our season tickets were on the 45 yard line and about row 15 in the west stands. My father didn't become a basketball fan until Cremins arrived, but I recall devouring the AJC sports page as a kid and reading about Sammy Drummer, Tico Brown and Brook Steppe. I was particularly fond of Steppe because he went to North Springs, not too far from where I grew up. but I never saw him play. I don't recall my first live Tech game, but I remember Lee Goza playing. I started Tech in 1985 so I was fortunate to be on the tail end of Price and Salley, and I was still around for Lethal Weapon 3 - the golden years of Tech basketball. In fact, we would camp out for tickets to big ACC games like Duke and UNC. I fell away from all Tech sports for a while, but my son and I have been going to lots of games for the past couple of years and my love of Tech basketball has been rekindled. [/QUOTE]
