On a lighter note....

Who remembers the seat cushion game versus Maryland? I remember after a bad call all the seat cushions came flying out onto the field. O'Leary said in his call in show that the next give away should be Frisbee night.
Fun stuff.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think it was after a bad call, but rather after GT scored. Not sure.

I do remember former player Lawton Hydrick, then in some capacity with the GTAA, running toward the North stands trying to get the students to stop throwing the cushions. Man, some company had paid for those cushions and had their company name on them. And they were being thrown away on national tv.

We had frisbee days when I was student in mid 80s.

Back around ‘80, when they sold coke in the stands, they switched from shrink wrap to plastic lids....good plastic ,not the McDonald’s type. They became mini frisbees that littered the north end zone......I think they went back to shrink wrap after that bad experiment.

Yes, every game was "frisbee day", as we used them to attempt to hit band members before we left drunken after another huge loss......

I recall the drum major catching the Frisbee one handed and throwing back into stands without missing a beat/step...of course, I could be totally mis-recalling it.

Yes, I remember this behavior. As a HS band kid, I hated this behavior. After numerous near-misses, I watched as one clarinet player got hit right in the mouth. I wrote a letter to the 'Nique after that. Just so much uncool.

One of the announcers said WTTE that it's a good thing this isn't anvil night.

I was not saying this was "good behavior"; only that it was what was happening.. It was about the only fun anyone had, as we were getting slaughtered on the field, but with that said, I would not want anyone getting hurt.....
