I was shocked you only did it for a few months and were already in the high five figures. You didn’t even wait for the six month bonus to kick in. Just took the money and ran. But that was brilliant to copyright the use of your name and profile so that whenever anybody responds to your post you get another kickback in concert tickets, sky miles and hooch.

At my age the hooch was key.

Just create a new account. I can't find a way, not saying that there isn't one, to update your online name.

You don't have to do that though, if you're good with your online name.

Go with the name. I was just busting your chops. Whatever handle you choose is fine. Of course, we will occasionally point out the error of your way. That's our responsibility.

Hey everyone! I am finishing up my last year at Tech. I grew up a UGA hater since moving here in 2011, so Georgia Tech felt like home when I decided on where I would end up spending my college days. I love football and basketball, and try to go to all home games for both, and away if I don't have something going on. I joined this thread to have people to talk to about my Yellow Jackets across all sports.

In my four years here, I have never been so upset about an outcome of a game as I was on Friday night. On the flip side, I have never been so proud to be a Georgia Tech fan than I was driving back that night. The trajectory of both this program, and many of our sports programs across campus has left me with a lot of hope for our future. I look forward to talking with everyone on here in the years to come, we are entering some amazing years for this Institute. Go Jackets and THWG!

It appears you have been put through the gauntlet. Hope you are still with us. This place, like Ma Tech, tests your mettle. But if you can learn to ignore all the other posters like we all have, it's really not a bad place to be. Welcome. And THWG...and THWGC!

Just realized you were as well. What sport did you play?

Basketball 1968-72, long ago and almost forgotten, when the thriller dome set the then attendance record of 7,750 and we set the then record for most games won in a season at 23 in 1971. We were invited to play in the NCAA tournament and NIT in 1970 and 1971 and voted to go the the NIT both years, losing in the quarter finals to St. Johns in 1970 and UNC in the 1971 finals. Rich Yunkus, our All-American center has his jersey number 40 in McCamish. We had a good track team back then, with national and international star sprinters Ben Vaughn and football running back Brent Cunningham and distance runner Joel Majors. My good friend Gwen Kadishov is the first female to earn a varsity letter at Georgia Tech in 1969 as manager of Buddy Fowlkes men's track team. There were no women's sports then. Buddy's office was in the upstairs of the Naval Armory, located where the Edge Building was located, with the track around the Grant Field football field. I majored in Industrial Management (now called business), when all our classes were in the Skiles Building.

Northeast, only in my memories and the stories of my basketball playing days get better over time. I am now just working on the life skills to avoid the obituary pages, having lost two of my beloved teammates and most all my coaches already.

A few more years and you will have won a national championship 😊 I guarantee it.

Rich Yunkus is still my favorite player of all time and I still put him as my starting center on all my all time great Tech teams. Side note, I also put Sammy Drummer on my all time team, one of the most underrated players in Tech history. Kenny Anderson, Mark Price and Dennis Scott complete my starting lineup. Wish I could assemble them all today and take on any team in the country. They could all play 5-out.

Nah, I cannot imagine rationalizing a national championship then, since that was always UCLA during my Tech career. Rich wore out their center Patterson when we played them in Dec 1969, bu their other 4 starters Wicks, Rowe, Valely, and Bibby wore us out in their 121-90 victory in Pauley Pavilion. WE did not have a clock, 3-pointers, nor dunking, so fundamental basketball created fan excitement.

But we did beat UNC during the regular season and we thought we could beat them in the 1971 NIT, but lost in the finals. Today there are no longer perennial powers like UCLA was in those years.

And I agree with your dream team. Sammy from Muncie IN was a great player and deserves more recognition, but played on a hardly recognizable team in the late 1970's.
