just got this in an email and thought i'd share...
This is from an email sent to The Dash at ESPN.com
And finally came this information from alleged loyal reader Peter Sanders (23),
who reports that Georgia Tech students wore "Fear the I" T-shirts Saturday when
the Yellow Jackets played The U, otherwise known as Miami. Sanders explained:
The Georgia Institute of Technology is the only Institute in Div. I-A
football, while Miami is one of 114 Universities (out of 119 total teams!). In
that sense, GT has 11,400 percent more reason to go with "the I" than Miami does
to go with "the U." Someone might want to explain to their fan base (and helmet
designers) that it's generally the M and not the U that differentiates them from
the team across the field (well, unless they play the other Miami). The real
satire though stems from the fact that, based on the academic and behavioral
standards (or lack thereof) that Miami holds their players to these days, they
might be the least appropriate team out of the 114 to call themselves a
University.
(Dash comment: Careful with those sweeping generalizations, Peter, or Brandon
Meriweather (24) is going to leave cleat marks on your legs.)
