[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 631194, member: 435"] I turned 75 in August. Got my BS in '66 and my MS in '67. The only college football games I had been to prior to my freshman year at Tech were a few Furman games, since my dad graduated from there. The only Tech tie I had was a Tech student my older sister dated in the mid 50s. He turned me into a Tech fan forever, and I can remember listening to the games after then with Jack Hurst announcing. While at Tech I never missed a game. The single most amazing game I saw there was the Bama game in '62. Possibly the most disappointing loss during that time was the LSU game in that same year. Since then, there have been many amazing games that I have attended, capped I guess by the Nebraska Citrus Bowl game. But also high on the list was the '74 Georgia game to which I took my dad (his only COFH game) in the pouring rain. At half-time, with a good lead, I suggested we leave because it was so miserable, but my dad refused, saying he was having too much fun. That was the closest I ever felt to my dad. My sister didn't marry that Tech student she had dated; she married a mutt grad, but he was a life-long Tech fan, as was his entire family. And their kids became BIG Tech fans also, with my nephew graduating from Tech. I never married, so I have no "legacy" fans to leave behind, but that's ok, because my Tech life has been FULL. I sat in the same seats (Sec 225, Row 26, Seats 1, 2) every year until this year, when I moved down 10 rows because of the increasingly difficult climb up to the top. I also went to every basketball game while I was in school, and had season tickets there for several of the Hewitt years, fortunately being able to go to his Final Four. Ahhhh, all the memories. What a Tech life for me !!! [/QUOTE]
