Watching now. The Driven series has always been great, but this is a must see for all Tech fans. I hope all of our current players get the chance to see this as well. Plenty of parallels to be drawn from then and now. And to hell with Colorado.
 
Thanks. FYI...Justin Thomas about to be featured on ESPNU in about 3 minutes.
 
Good call. Hopefully they replay that tomorrow too. Quote of the night from Scott Sisson referencing the emotions from drilling the infamous fg vs uva to missing 2 vs vt before hitting the last one to win 6-3: it's not far from the penthouse to the outhouse
 
Really cool to watch and seeing Friedgen get choked up was intense.

But the pacing of the program was very quick and strange. Highly enjoyable, just a little odd. One or two of the segments were about 90 seconds in length.
 
I'm only five minutes in, and this is amazing. All the former players so far look like they could still play. Awesome footage and great perspective thus far of that team and the dark times (87, 88) building up to the '90 title year.

Man, brings back some awesome memories.
 
Truly an incredible viewing. I missed the JT thing on ESPNU. I hope they rebroadcast it.

Agreed Jacket, there were a couple of short segments, but I've noticed those in the Braves editions too. Maybe it's a fox thing, who knows. But yeah, seeing fridge get choked up was awesome. Makes me wonder how I will react one day when it happens again!

It really does add that extra layer of desire to see our guys reach their full potential this year. It hasn't been often enough that we have been able to spend the days leading up to the season, not just fantasizing about, but giving legitimate, justifiable consideration to the idea that we might have that kind of special year on our hands.

I'm so excited for TML I can't see straight.
 
Does anyone have a link to a stream online for us netflix, non 80k folks?

By the way .... watching this one of my bigger take aways is GT hasn't done enough to honor Ralph Friedgen. He's clearly a Tech guy. He is more or less retired now. He's really only still active at Rutgers because the game won't let him go even if he wants it to.

It'd be outstanding if GT could do any of the following, but preferably all:
- Find some support role for him in the football program
- Induct him into the GT HOF
- Award him an honorary degree, perhaps paired with a fake burned Maryland one
- Bring him back to the 50 yard line when they honor the '90 team at the VT game.

Surely they will have him present for that game, won't they?
