[QUOTE="bartoma, post: 119817, member: 969"] I am 50 years old, BEE '87, and 1990 was indeed magical... I just knew it was gonna be special, and to that end, I even drove to Atlanta from DC back to back weekends for the Clemson and USCe games... I would stalk the only news-stand in the area midweek to get a copy of the AUC, just to be able to read about Sean Jones, Willie Clay, William Bell, and Ken Swilling... I was at the UVA game with my mom, who said it was better than the 7-6 Alabama game in 1962, which she and my dad attended... This past season was certainly memorable, and certainly the greatest since 1990 to me... But one thing that cannot be understated in comparing this season with past ones is the impact of the Internet, ubiquitous sports coverage, HDTV, and surround sound... It is hard to overstate for those too young to remember the world before these things what it was like to (try to) follow GT from 600 miles away... In the 90's I remember how special it was that GT would be on ABC or ESPN... We might get to see three or four games a season, an those on my fancy, huge 27" TV that weighed 150 lbs... Yes, this season will always be one of the most memorable in the last 30 years for me, but it is doubly so because of how I was able to experience it... [/QUOTE]
