Welcome aboard. Just remember, we are mostly just a bunch of dumb die hard fans around here. So take what we say with a grain of salt. There are some former players here who can give insight on their playing days as well as a couple family members of current players who can also. But most of us are just dumb enthused fans. I wish you and your son well on his future decisions.

New member here.
I've been an avid fan my entire life (my dad played football for Georgia Tech in the early 80's) and grew up wanting to be an engineer from GT, but, despite my acceptance to Tech, being a resident of South Carolina and facing the prospect of $100,000+ in student loan debt convinced me to stay in-state for college. I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2014 with a Civil Engineering degree, but I still attend as many Tech games as possible and consider the two schools 1A and 1B as far as loyalty is concerned (which made the second round NIT game this past basketball season a tough one for me to attend).
Hard to narrow down my favorite game I've been to, but my top three would have to be Maryland 2006, Clemson 2011, and FSU 2015.
I decided to join this community because I enjoy discussing topics related to Georgia Tech athletics and recruiting. Go Jackets!

New here - but I have heard of the site over the past couple of years. Dropped into the thread "GT Academic Horror Stories" after Googling for Virgil Smith. That leads me to my background: AE '86 (I had Virgil for two classes over three quarters and learned that Dr. Chen is really a nice guy.); I lived in Towers back in the day, and have a soft spot for The Varsity - my gold standard for onion rings. I worked at NASA Langley for 10 years doing rotorcraft research. Got tired of dodging funding cuts, and switched to easier software work. I've lived in the Charlottesville, VA area since '96, and have been to a lot of UVA football, baseball and basketball games, and always make the GT game. I have twin sons and live 30 minutes from anything.

Many thanks. FWIW, I am the only GT graduate from a pretty solid UGA family - father, uncles, aunts, cousins all went there, undergraduate and graduate. Both sides of the family are based within 50 or so miles of Athens. The result is I grew up watching UGA football (the horror!), and had a really strong legacy there, so I don't totally hate them.

I started in 82 and co-oped. I expect we crossed paths.

Haha, Charlottesville is a pretty far drive from Reston, but if he's ever back in god's country (NOVA) he should look me up :)

My wife used to commute from Strasburg to Reston and has plenty of horror stories about the traffic :) She basically lived her life on 66. She moved here when we got married, and thought she was moving to the land of the Unwashed Masses and Rednecks. Growing up in Virginia like she did, she should have already been aware of the gentility that fairly oozes from the ground here in the Land of Jefferson!

We likely did, depending on your schedule. I had Harper for a few classes (I remember people saying our class retired Harper and killed Pettit, though we walked graduation in June of '86.), Gray, Helfrich for design, and a bunch I just cannot remember. Re J. J. Harper, "Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Testing" by Pope and Harper was still the testing bible when I was in the game in the '80s.
