It is just wrong to be negative about Tech getting a four star that got offers from teams like Alabama, LSU etc. Life does suck, and being born means you lose. But, it is fun to win the bridge championship, even on the Titanic. All our problems are not solved, but no sane person can be anything but ecstatically happy about our recruiting.

ok, for all you new guys, get your pens and paper ready to learn what Robert Lavette did for our program in the early 1980s.

In his first game, we played #1 Alabama in Birmingham - there isn't much footage but the game is on YouTube. We won thanks to an amazing run by Lavette late in the 4th quarter.

So think about this for a minute: In 1980, GT was the worst team in D1 and the dwags were the best in D1. In 1981, Clemson beat the dwags to be the #1 team in the nation.

So between 1980 and 1983, we had 3 national champions on our schedule. But we had Robert Lavette. Imagine trying to tackle a puff of smoke. That is what is was like trying to tackle Robert Lavette. Here is another snippet.

So for all you new guys, take note of the guy who blazed the trail. The guy who, after all the amazing backs that Dodd had, re-wrote the record books. The guy who simply could not be tackled on first contact. Check out his records and think about whose records be broke.

Something for you to bookmark for later is this: dwags at GT 1985.

Great "snippet". Just watch for a few minutes and see a ton of huge names from the past/present.

Swilling, Whisenhunt, Dewberry, Rutland, Lavette, Roof (the player), Big John Davis and Refrigerator Perry. Even Bailey Ivemeyer's dad.

Agreed. Also, upon further review, looks like ol' Chuck E may have gotten in on that first and goal?
