I have a friend who is an artist and he makes football collage drawings of players and coaches and stuff. Below is an example of one he did for the Carolina Panthers. I thought it might be cool to hear everone's opinions on who they would include as their 15 all-time favorite athletes and coaches from tech history.
 
Here is the picture. I am at work and cant access a picture hosting site so I had to post it as my signature for you guys to see it. The pic is small but you can probably get the idea.

I can think of 15 before you get out of the 60's maybe the 50's. We have had some great ones come through Tech. What a privelage.
 
Should do a group of 15 for every decade!

I hold the distinction of being the worst lacrosse player ever to play for Tech.
 
I like Augusta Buzz's list. When I think about omissions to the list names like Curry and Breland, Perdoni and Rhino come to mind.
 
Not disputing the list by Augustabuzz-in fact it is great.
Just wanted to add my 15 cents worth as deserving of consideration:
Coleman Rudolf
Dez White
Joe Auer
Floyd Fawcette
Paul Duke
Smylie Gebhardt
Rufus Guthrie
Larry Stallings
Maxie Baughan
Frank Broyles
Wade Mitchell
John Sias
Billy Shaw
Ray Beck
Doc Harvin
Don Toner
Brent Cunningham
Jerry Mays
 
OK without looking here are my 15:

Peter Pund
Everett Strupper
Clint Castleberry
Pepper Rodgers
Larry Stallings
Maxie Baughn
Bill Curry
Billy Lothridge
Billy Martin
Kim King
Brent Cunningham
Rock Perdoni
Gary Faulkner
Randy Rhino
Joe Harris
RM
David Lutz
Coleman Rudolph
Shawn Jones
William Bell
Marco Coleman
Calvin
Little Joe
Eddie Lee
Drew Hill
Ramblin Robert Lavette
Ted Roof
Keith Brooking

did you say 15?
 
You know the great thing about bringing back these names are the stories that go with them in the era they played. Listening to George Morris was just simply a pleasure for me. Standing by Larry Morris is just a plain honor. Playing with Pat Swilling not only made me better but just watching his domination was great as well. What memories.

Pat was not only a great player, he was a great person and a wonderful representative of Georgia Tech. I wonder where he is and what he doing these days?
 
I saw him a couple of years ago. He invested in real estate in the N.O. area and has done very well. Especially since the hurricane. He looks great.
 
Yukon and ramblin, it would appear we share some of the same Tech football heroes. It brings me great pleasure to remember these men for their efforts in defeating the evil empire. THWG
