[QUOTE="augustabuzz, post: 53667, member: 225"] And you would be correct. I'll share an anecdote from back in the day. It was gameday, about two hours before kickoff, and I had left the old AA walking down the driveway between the AA and the Heisman Gym. For you younger guys that's near where the North Stands tunnel to Callaway Plaza is today. Whereupon I met the head coach of Aiken High School in Aiken, SC. He had been an assistant at my high school when I attended. He had with him one of his players. We exchanged the pleasantries of old friends and he said, "I would like to introduce you to one of my players, William Perry." I could see he was about 6'-1". Coach Buck stated, "He's 265 pounds and I watched him dunk a basketball yesterday! He's only 15 years old and dominates from NG." I asked, "How are his grades?" Coach replied, "_____, he's not Tech. material." I'm telling you this was not atypical and I doubt it has changed in the last 35 years. [/QUOTE]
