Temple's @swaGTroopers account was created May 4, 2017 and the password reset goes to the same gmail account as @_swaGTroopers, created 12/30/2018. Both tweet 100% from iPhones.
Can't be exactly same, since according to Twitter, an email account can only be associated with one account at a time, correct?

I asked him the same thing that day. I think you and I were in line together.
This wasn't in his line. He was walking around the field and I approached him when you were waiting in line for something else.

Yes, that’s what I was referring to. You even took my picture with him ...

The best hitters deserve more than a stripe, how about actual black watches. I'm sure they'd appreciate a black TAG. We'll say it's an amenity to time the defense vs hurry up offenses. No NCAA violations there, right?

@Akinji07 has no actual idea how many times he has been on Grant Field. None that he can remember.

Anyone know if it would even be possible now for some of our defensive players to wear this helmet while the rest of the players wore our regular helmet?
I would like that helmet for the entire team on occasion. Didn’t Don Lindsey copyright that term?:biggrin:

The “Black Watch,” the nickname Lindsey conferred upon his defense that fall, glorified big hitters and rewarded them, too. The prize: A thick black stripe painted down the middle of Tech’s otherwise all-gold helmets. It went only to the heaviest of hitters — especially middle linebacker Ted Roof, the heart and soul of the Black Watch; and to No. 99, Swilling, its most talented and dangerous Watchman.

That autumn, the Black Watch enabled the Jackets to go 9-2-1, losing only to Virginia and Auburn, tying Tennessee and beating Georgia for the second year in a row. Behind Swilling and Roof, the Black Watch allowed just 10.7 points per game that year, holding opponents to seven points or less five times.

Georgia Tech finished second in the ACC (5-1 in conference play) and went to its first bowl in seven years. In the All-American Bowl in Birmingham, Tech rallied to beat Michigan State 17-14, finish 18th in the final UPI poll and post its best record since Bobby Dodd’slast team went 9-2 in 1966.
Suddenly the comments in this thread make more sense to me

A lot of this marketing stuff CGC came up with at Temple fits too well at Tech to be a coincidence. Above The Line, SwaGTroopers...I think he came up with it with Tech in mind, which means he really has been coveting this job for a while. I dig it.
That's an interesting thought
