[QUOTE="00Burdell, post: 37125, member: 5"] I haven't lived in ATL since 1989 so don't get to as many games as I would like but my top 3 are: The 1985 fog game: Ted Roof was so good in that game that Doc Walker would actually run out of names to describe him; If you weren't around at the time, there is no way I can communicate how far apart our programs were just 4 years prior. In 1980, GT was regarded as the worst team in the country - the worst [I]program[/I] in the country and UGa won the only MNC they will ever win. In 1981, UGa beat us 44-7. They scored on the first play of the game and never looked back. Only a miracle pass by Pittsburgh's Dan Marino on 4th down from the UGa 28 with just seconds on the clock prevented UGa from winning consecutive MNCs. In 1982, UGa whooped us again and only Penn St. kept them from winning a 2nd MNC in 3 years. In 1983, the machine coach Bill Curry was building began to take shape. Our quarterback was - are you ready for this - [I]a transfer from UGa[/I]: John Dewberry. His mission in life at that point was to beat UGa. He nearly did it. Late in the 4th quarter, we were down 27 to 24 - our ball on a potential game winning drive with an offensive line anchored by the best OL to put on a Tech Jersey since I've been watching GT football (Refrigeratormover). An underthrown pass that dropped into the arms of a UGa defender whose name I recall clearly but will not soil this thread with. Dewberry burned for 364 days. Until the anniversary of that date in 1984. This post is dragging into tl;dr territory so I'll wrap it up. Our DC (Don Lindsey) had put together the best defense to represent GT in over three decades. UGa had a cerberus at running back - imagine 3 Todd Gurleys on the same team. Ted Roof shut. Them. Down. Gary Lee ran a kickoff back 1,000 miles or so it seemed. WTBS televised the game and because of where we came from and where UGa came from, it was the best GT win I witnessed in person. My 2nd favorite game was the 1999 UGa game. I don't have a third favorite - too many ties. [/QUOTE]
