[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 145561, member: 1036"] Enjoyed Pepper a lot when I was younger, almost idolized him. Was the Jackets' coach during my grammar school years (2nd - 7th grade) and I'd hoped I'd get to play for him at Tech one day when I was older. Was devastated when he was fired, but looking back on it years later, the coaching change made sense. Not the best game manager... Lost a few games on some critical coaching blunders, especially the '78 Georgia game in Athens. But he was a lot of fun to be around. I attended Coach Rodgers' football camp in '77, and it really meant a lot to me when he'd walk by and comment on how well I hustled and how hard I hit. For a kid that's everything. On the last day of camp he spoke with my Dad over by the old film room, reminiscing about Tech in the '50s. It was neat being coached by him, even if it was just a camp. [/QUOTE]
