Sidewalk Fans

[jeffgt14]

It's just a term. Not a big deal. Always been a fan, wanted an engineering degree, but wasn't about to pay to go to GT. Settled on a much more affordable Tennessee Tech.

 

[ilovetheoption]

No such thing. Only alums root for GT.

We should received trophies for being Tech fans. It ain't easy all the time, but when it's good, there's nothing like it.

Been sidewalk fans since mid 80's and one of my degrees is from uga. Used to wear a tech hat in Athens. I bet I go to more games than most alums.

Funny note, grew up 3 doors down from Larry Munson and friends with his youngest. Used to wear tech hat over there lots too!

Lifelong sidewalk fan and 14-year season ticket holder for football. None of my family went to Tech but I grew up loving Tech because Tech was the home team. I remember our National Championship in 1990. I remember going to the Final Four.

When I went to Ireland I met Marvin Lewis in the airport - after I walked up and said hi he asked me “so when did you get out?” I proudly told him that I’m like a Sasquatch - a female Tech sidewalk fan, and proud to be one!

No, I didn’t go to Tech, but I grew up in Atlanta and Tech is Atlanta’s team. Any Tech fan (sidewalk or not) is welcome at our tailgate anytime!!

This site was founded by a side walk fan.

I know plenty of sidewalk fans, including myself.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Sidewalk, life long, season ticket holding, dwag hating fan.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I'm a GT sidewalk fan and have been since 1980

 

[augustabuzz]

I was a sidewalk fan before I was an alum fan.

I appreciate sidewalk fans because all Tech fans are really invested in the team. Tech doesn't attract fair-weather or bandwagon fans because we're not dominant enough to do so. As someone who was in the marching band my whole time at Tech, anything that increases Gameday attendance makes me happy.

The only time I think it really matters is when the academic arguements come up. Sidewalk fans did not experience the rigors of tech so when one of them just says " academics shouldn't hold us back" it rubs those of us who did the wrong way. That's about the only time i will ask they attendance question.

(I sat in on a few of my wife's GT classes and mine were harder. Granted my major was also a "harder" major but you know whatever)

What was your major and what was hers. also what year of classes.

 

[JacketFromUGA]

meh I don't need the board getting into a pissing match because a UGA guy said he had hard classes. Just know that while GT does have some pretty high rigor it's not 100% exclusive in it.
