It's kinda neat to see the Irish perspective of today's cultural intermingling

His mention about the fans not attending the respective schools would be apt for almost any other fanbases except ours and BC.

The fans’ intensity became clear early on when I was warned that Georgia Tech must always be referred to with the ‘Tech’ part included and never simply as ‘Georgia’ - that being the name of their fiercest rivals University of Georgia. Apparently it’s something akin to referring to Manchester United as Manchester City.

Why did you choose this life?

Pretty interesting to read this, especially the slightly off phrasings which sound like a well-educated foreigner speaking correct and precise English which still sounds idiomatically wrong. Our team is the "Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech" and our mascot is "Buzz the Bee."

Why did you choose this life?

We didn't choose the Tech life. The Tech life chose us.

Most of my family went to Tech and the loyalty stuck.

Also my heart is too healthy so I needed to take care of that

God bless you. I consider sidewalk fans bigger fans than most of the f'rs that go through North Ave.

All of the inaccuracies in this are pretty much the same thing I would do with soccer - great read.

Here's another look but from an Irish sports blog so they know what they are talking about. More of a game recap than any commentary.

From the comments section:

"What about the cheer leaders? Which side won that important contest? I suppose their exploits were curtailed too or maybe they perform better when wet?"

and

"What a stupid sport"
