note:
I wasn't there, I have only heard stories from Old Codgers regarding the issue, but it was extremely, extremely politically charged. Imagine if O'Leary had left to coach UGA instead, the year after UGA had intentionally hospitalized one of our players for a game advantage, and you might start to get an idea of how seriously the Old Guard hates Curry.
It was the same way for most of the bammers too apparently, at least for the older ones. The old fans still hated Tech's guts and to them it was like hiring Peyton Manning as a QB coach. If you understand the Bama-UT redneck rivalry and how much Peyton dominated the bammers, you'll see just how big of a statement that is.
