The University of Georgia Tech

[Milwaukee]

Imo we are Tech. Period. The other Techs are wannabes.

All this name talk made me think about this clip. I wonder what Jim Everett is up to nowadays.

Was that really a clip from the Tim Rome Show? Tim. Tim. Tim.

After Will committed we thought GT was a great 'University"... So yes some have made that mistake and still became Jackets.

There are other "Techs"?

Maybe we should rip off Ohio State and become The Georgia Institute of Technology?

when i first went to gt back in the 70s. i was still learning about its tradition... its history and its place among academics. up until i moved to atlanta i was a buckeye and i attended ohio state UNIVERSITY.

even as a student i still caught myself using the 'U' word from time to time when referring to gt. it was hard to break the habit of using the word 'university' with any school let alone gt.

while i cringe when it happens i am ok with letting slide. after all.... i did the same thing many years ago.

not that it matters but tosu became THE osu when it wrote the charter a hundred + years ago. well before fb program became a staple. being THE osu has nothing to do with fb.

personally i like this idea. TGIT.

You were making GT's history, not learning about it

My son and I were talking about a history class he enjoyed after his 2nd year of college. He asked me about history class I had. My reply was I took history so long ago that we called it current events

I haven't checked in along while, but I recall our seal states, "The Georgia Institute of Technology".

Yes, but they are universities.

Actually, it says:
Seal of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

PS: Anybody notice anything funny about that arch on the seal?

*sigh*
We ARE a university. Our name isn't.

Think I've heard that on some TV trivia question during a football game

The Institute is an excellent branding opportunity. Using it a no brainer in marketing.

It wouldn’t change GT from being GT. It just adds to the brand.

Flea, good to see you posting again. Been missing your posts since the end of the season.

While attending school do you consider yourself institutionalized?
