I live near Gettysburg PA and am the proud father of a first year AE Tech student. My wife and I have since become big Tech fans and have watched on TV or listened to every football and basketball game this year. I joined this site because it looks like a really good place to follow recruiting and learn more about the current players and some of the history of Tech sports.
Welcome aboard.

Hey everyone, I'm Matt. Long time lurker here and I finally joined. Die hard tech fan for all my life (37). I work as a Deputy Sheriff, have a wife and two crazy children, play guitar, and probably enjoy Dave Matthews Band way more than most would call normal!

Sup, gang. I guess I fall into the category of t-shirt fan. I know, I know. My best friend in high school (best man too!) used to do his Calculus homework on the steering wheel of his truck in the mall parking lot before the tardy bell rang every morning. Dude was (and still is) a mathematical freak, imo. Anyway, he went to Tech after graduation ('92) and lasted all of a year before working full time and carrying a full load caused burnout. We were already fans but him getting accepted and actually attending for even that short time was awesome. Can't remember my first home game (Duke maybe?) but I was there at the Citrus Bowl when Tech clobbered Nebraska to win the Natty! Still remember the huge banner someone made of Bart Simpson asking, "What the hell is a Husker?"

Still believe in CPJ. But understand if others are ready to move on. Glad to be here and look forward to the discussion.

Oh yeah and TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!

Hello everyone. I am a two time graduate of Tech (BSIE in 96 and MBA in 2017) and a die hard yellow jacket fan. I have season tickets to football, basketball, and baseball. Have worked 20 years in the supply chain arena in various functions including BPR, technology deployment, operations management and continuous improvement, and strategic consulting. Currently work for planning software company. As my font suggests, I was in the Marines (during the first gulf war). Looking forward to some lively discussions and making some new friends.

Nice to see familiar poasters coming over. You will see a few fonts you recognize. Congrats on getting your MBA.

Hey everyone, 19 y/o sidewalk fan here I guess haha. I've been a tech fan since I was 12. I wanted to be an engineer when I was little and my mom told me about Georgia Tech, naturally I became a fan of their sports as well. Sadly I didn't have the grades for tech but I am considering a transfer after my core classes are done. I attended my first football game last year against Pittsburgh and I plan on buying the flex pack this year and season tickets next year. I love running the flexbone in NCAA Football 2014. People online were so confused/mad/supportive about it.

Welcome to the forums! What school you currently at? If it's Kennesaw St you should be all about their team as well.

@maxxwil Welcome aboard

Buckle down and knock out those classes. Shoot for your dream. Regardless if you get into GT or not keep on pulling for GT.

Thank you for choosing to pull for the Jackets!

Glad you found the board!

One question though. How do you feel about Blue Jerseys? :ROFLMAO:
