[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 273212, member: 1329"] Agreed, however . . . Only two things about Bill Curry rub me the wrong way: 1) When he left, he made a statement that he was leaving GT because he could win a MNC at Bammer (or STTE). 2) He took an interview during the 1990 UVa game and took credit for some of the players CBR had. I thought that Bill Curry could have a job for life at GT, and in 1987, I could see him having a Braine-like [I]thoughts[/I] about GT's football prospects. I get it, even Dodd agreed with the sentiment (about winning at Bammer), but as a Tech Man he should never had said that in an interview. Three years later the folks at Bammer dissed him - he was never going to be loved there - and he leaves Bammer to go to Kentucky. Curry then shows up at a GT game (to pull for his son, a UVa player) and tries to share in the glory that the 1990 season was becoming - after his Braine-like statement. I was super salty about Curry back in the day, but I have long since gotten over it. Others may not have been so forgiving. IMO, Rice and Curry are why there is still a FBS program at GT. When I think of Bill Curry now, this is the image that comes to mind: [IMG]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qPC-bR64nyc/Sw1cTOF-D7I/AAAAAAAAAWk/OKBlFvpb7mk/s1600/GT_Curry.jpg[/IMG] 35-18 Baby! [/QUOTE]
