[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 502191, member: 1036"] The Tech experience has to be lived to be understood. I'm a lifelong Tech fan going back to the Eddie Lee Ivery years... It was a major dream of mine to attend Tech and maybe play ball there one day (the 2nd didn't happen). Tech was indeed painful. When I finally got there, it was actually more difficult than being in the Army -- albeit the peacetime Army. I was on the verge of failing out a couple times. I dropped out after a couple years and had the chance to attend a university in Germany, having been accepted into the Studienkolleg at the University of Essen. If it weren't for the six-month waiting list for student housing due to all the upheaval in eastern Europe, I would likely have a degree from there instead of Tech. I returned to the States, re-enrolled at Tech and managed to get out by the skin of my teeth. What I'm getting at is that going to Tech was a major childhood dream of mine, yet those years were some of the hardest and worst of my life... though it did get better towards the end. The thrill of 1990 only felt like a tiny ray of sunshine at the time. The Institute is not for everybody. Some fare better than others there. I probably wasn't cut out for it. It's definitely a character-shaping place, and I think as more years pass by, the fonder I am of the experience! - BTW, sidewalk fans are great, and should anyone forget, the majority of Tech fans from the Bobby Dodd to at least the Pepper Rodgers era were sidewalk fans... Look at films from the '70s when Tech played UGA at Sanford, and it seemed half the stadium was gold or white. [/QUOTE]
