Thanks Ahso,
I'm going back to edit the subject line. I hate to see the mispelling out there like that. It was a typo (or brain fart.) I went back to a post on the Hive I made a few weeks ago about Coach Hyder and I spelled it correctly there. I'm not being super-sensitive, I just hate to make that sort of error, especially given the situation.
I got to meet Coach Hyder twice through a Tech friend with whom I go to the games. This gentleman played for him in his (Coach Hyder's) first season (my friends last.) Both times I met him (one football game, one basketball game,) he was dressed sharply in coat and tie with a slide rule tie-tac. My AMC plaque that hangs in my bedroom sports his and Coach Cremin's signature on it. He (IMO from someone who never attended Tech) exemplifies what it means to be a Tech man.
