[QUOTE="Tech93, post: 374379, member: 1527"] My family moved from NJ to south GA when I was 5. I excelled in athletics in a big football town that had a lot of guys go to UGA to play. My next door neighbor was one of them who all of you would know. He helped lead the team to the Natl championship when I was 9. To say the least, I was a bulldog fan as a kid. As I got into my teen years, I started becoming more interested in Tech athletics and then one of my friends signed to play QB at Tech...he was 5 years older than me but we had won the punt, pass, and kick competition together for our respective age groups. Unfortunately, he got in a bad accident the summer before his freshman year and never played football again. My Dad had worked in corporate his whole life and played college football at Villanova. He started drilling in my head in my teenage years that Tech was a great school known worldwide. He drove me to Tech as a high school junior to meet with Sen. Fowler's committe for an academy nomination. We walked the campus and he insisted I send a college app to Tech. He has passed now but he was a great mentor and I thank him for pushing me to go to Tech. My freshman year I lived in Techwood and one of the walk ons became a good friend and he would let me in the locker room before the game and that's when I met Bobby Cremins and was sold on Tech basketball. Josh Pastner reminds me of Cremins. [/QUOTE]
