Tech alum returning 222-0 ball to ‘rightful place’

[GlennW]

An Atlanta man and Georgia Tech graduate won the bidding for a most prized piece of college football and school history – what is believed to be the game ball from Tech’s 222-0 win over Cumberland in 1916. His plans for the ball will undoubtedly please Yellow Jackets fans.

Was just about to post this. Just read it. And wow. That is incredibly charitable of him. One helluva engineer. This gentleman should be publicly honored by Tech for this. Honorary letterman and whatever else may be appropriate.

I wonder what other Tech Alumni he was bidding against. At least the money is going to a good cause and not someone's pocket. http://www.la84.org/
