Nah. My brother is a dwag and an interventional cardiologist. He’s a true embarrassment to the family name. :bigthumbup:

What's an interventional cardiologist? Someone who has the family members show up to confront a heart patient who is abusing drugs or alcohol?

Actually sounds pretty cool.

Cardiology is a bizzare specialty. Not all cardiologists are trained to put a stent in the heart. Some don’t do heart caths at all. Some can do the heart cath but can’t stent the diseased vessels. An interventional cardiologist can take the pictures and put the stents in.

And most of them are assholes.

Edit: Of course, many would say that most vascular surgeons are assholes, too. My wife might even agree with that...

The Letterwinners Club hasn't gone anywhere - it's still around, but we suffered a lot of the same problems with lost or waning interest the longer the Johnson Era dragged on. Phoning it in vs USF, Pitt, and Duke, a classic sign of a team being lost by the coaching staff, did as much. Many guys openly said they'd stay home til there was a coaching change.... I know one guy I'm going to tell to put his money where his mouth is & buy tickets again.

If you are a letterwinner - there's no FB specific alumni group sponsored by GTAA & hasn't been in a coupla/three decades - whatever the sport (and yes, cheerleading + "Buzz" counts now) get in touch with Lucious Sanford. We do have some football specific activities, but no "FB only T-Club." Again, get in touch with big Lucious.

The letter winners club has been meeting on top of Peters parking deck for tailgating prior to games. We had good crowds this season. I thought more recent football letters winners were starting to attend this event too.

When I was a cheerleader in the 80's, we were considered lettermen. None of us ever took them up on it though. One of our Buzzes became a Navy pilot flying E2's off carriers. Ask @coit about his fraternity brother.

JJ (Buzz#3) was a fraternity brother of mine, too. Great guy. Lives south of Atlanta now and flies for Delta.

Interesting fact: Buzz#1 and Buzz#3 were both from the same little town in South Georgia -- Jesup. Went to high school with both of them. In fact, there were 5 of us from that buttlicker town enrolled at Tech in 1980, and I don't think there had been more than 1 or 2 in the previous twenty years.

And now my son is a GT AE grad, and finished in Pensacola early this year, and is now a NFO in F-18's. Back seater. Kicking ass and taking names. Here he is flying sideways through Star Wars Canyon in the Sierras.

Biiiiiiiiiig difference between being in F'nA-18s vice riding in the back of P-8 (AKA B-737), the new ASW platform, but somebody's got to do it. NavTACAir is a whole 'nother game. P-8s are like being in the Chair Force, home every night 'cept for the deployments to Sigonella, Yokosuka, or Pearl (but stiil at the club by 1800), including per diem which the at sea bubbas & bubbettes DON'T get. I'm glad there are kids in the pipelines, but calling a NavCad noob at P'Cola in a P-8 pipeline, someone who's never even been on a nugget deployment, a veteran is a bit of an insult or a gross misunderstanding of what that means.

As for the cheerleading bit, that was just the result of my being sent all over the planet, 1st in the Navy then as a US Civil Servant, making sure the F'nA-18 crew members (or their predecessors) and the P-8 gas==>noise converters (or their predecessors) stay alive to put heavy metal on the heads of bad guys, IOW, to blow up things and kill them. Didn't know the cheerleaders were afforded letterwinner status til recently, but they certainly qualify on their obvious acrobatic & strength participation in GTAA events.

Don’t know how you can say he lost the team when they rallied and played their best ball after the 1-3 start. The team didn’t quit. Too bad it sounds like some of the letter winners are quitters as fans, though. öööö those guys, they can stay away as far as I’m concerned.

"Quit?" Your word, not mine. Old players know when young players are not ready to play & the blame lies with the coaches, NOT the players. Blown assignments, flop blocks, snap counts, arm tackling, blown coverages are just a few examples.

The deck has been shuffled and there's a new deal coming out. We're all optimistic.

I ran into JJ on the flight back from Dublin. Same great guy he always was.

I didn't notice the Letter Winner's golf outing at Stone Mountain this past homecoming. Were y'all there? I'm usually out there in the PM about the time the tourney finished up and ran into y'all for many years up until this year.

Did they rally or did they get fat off of a very down Loserville team and got really lucky vs. Miami and UVa, then they finished up by showing what they really were in game #12

Opposing teams making unforced errors is why we're going to a Bowl

There was one, but I don't think it was at Stone Mountain this year. That one's open to the whole group - the one in the spring (that I hear about) is for FB players and typically is held out in Alpharetta at The Golf Club of Georgia, the GT golfers' home course.

This year's been one of dealing with my wife's health issues - she's okay - and that took precedence. We were extremely tied up til about August & she didn't make it to any games with me this fall. Golf didn't make our list of 2018 To-Do's.

ADDED: 2018 Fall Golf Outing was at Northwood Country Club in Lawrenceville, Ga.

By the way, his older brother was in the 82nd at Ft Bragg for 10 years, and deployed to Iraq 3 times. Lost a lot of his hearing to a roadside bomb and was given a medical discharge. He lives with us (along with my grandson) and is soon to finish his degree in Electrical Engineering from Valencia college in Orlando where we live.

I am also retired military, although I don't bring it up a lot. Just something I did when I was younger.

thanks to your family for serving :bigthumbup:

Lol, what a clown. Does it make you mad when our guys make plays to win games? I bet it must have hurt to see Brad lay out for his final catch in Bobby Dodd or to watch Juanyeh toss Miami aside to recover the fumble. Some luck huh?
