2014 VT was it?

I was at 2008 vs FSU, and we had not beaten them since they joined the ACC. They had rotated off of our schedule due to the division alignment. When we recovered that fumble and the clock ticked down to 0:00 it was pandemonium. That was the best college game I have ever attended.

 

[Coloradojacket]

So to add,
2008 Boston College
2011 Kansas
2012 USC Sun Bowl
2014 Clemson
2015 Florida St. probably the greatest

Yea, I took a red eye from Colorado, met my tailgate at 7 and partied and went to that game. Flew home the next morning. What a game.

That has to be on the list. I also liked the 2009 regular season Clemson win and the 2014 Clemson win when most thought we had no chance. He had some great wins. Throw out the Syracuse win. That had to be the stupidest defense ever playing 2 deep safeties so we essentially had a couple of extra blockers on every play.

2011 Clemson should have a spot too

 

[SteamWhistle]

2011 Clemson should have a spot too

I agree, just wish it was more of a close game. That’s a hard list to make but I definitely messed up leaving that one off.

 

[HurricaneJacket]

It was ultimatly a losing effort, but i will always remember 2010 uga when we let them score so there would be more time on the clock and that stadium was so silent you could hear a pin drop .

2008 Boston College

I might remove that Sun Bowl game only because Lane Kiffin disgraced his university and the sport and disrespected Johnson and Georgia Tech from beginning to end before finally going belly up in the game. Seeing he was going to get whipped he proceeded to stop coaching altogether and act like it didn't matter. After that he should never have gotten another coaching job.

Yes! Great recall. It was stunning, one of those things that afterwards everybody said, "Well, sure. Why didn't I think of that?"

 

[GTJeff1975]

Mine's the 2014 Orange Bowl. Pure domination from beginning to end.

 

[HurricaneJacket]

So many happy memories. 2016 UGA where @LadyHurricaneJacket got the unicorn picture.

2015 FSU

2014 Miami, Clemson, UGA

All the home games as a student between 2009-2013 (even the losses were mostly fun).

And of course the 2nd half of 2008 COFH (my first game as a Tech fan)

I'm gonna miss Coach, he's the only one I've known at GT. #ThanksPaul

I missed that game because my niece was getting married that night. I still haven’t forgiven her for that!

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Here's a favorite of mine

 

[panther42]

2009 VT was probably the loudest I have ever heard the stadium. All the Turned up blaring, night game, GT win, and rushing the field. That was my number one.

 

[gtg391z]

FSU game in Tallahassee was a great game to be at. JFN!

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Here's a favorite of mine

My daughter and I were at that one. A little Jaybo Shaw action!!

 

[Old South Stands]

I don't know how I'd rank them all, but the top 3 for me were:

2014 UGA game
2015 'Miracle on Techwood'
2008 UGA game
