What is your best GT Football memory?

[gnats67]

'70 in Athens. My first trip. I was a youngster TECHfan and we whupped the puppies in their yard. And we won that game. Wasn't handed to us. Went on to the Sun Bowl (back when it was a decent bowl) and whipped some more tail.

We had a good team that year that came together towards the end of the season and played strong.

Coach Bud Carson team. His best.

Watching at GF as GT beat bama in 62. Don't know to this day how Dad got those 2 tickets.

Then Chambers kick.

Then Citrus Bowl.

It's amazing what Dad's can do isn't it!

Wasn't that a Godsey pass?

What is your favorite memory of GT Football?

Hearing about the furious anger coming from Pollack's and Greene's Atlanta team hotel room in 2003 when housekeeping refused to send up additional hand towels during the middle of the night.

Nope.

Correct - 2000 at Clem(p)son. They were undefeated and ranked #4 in the country. Godsey to Watkins with 7 seconds remaining for a 31-28 win.

 

[beej67]

Hrmm. Yeah. My memory failed on that too, Jojatec.

That was a solid team. It had four or five Parade high school All-Amerians and a handful more were added for 1971. Optimism was extremely high. I was a student, and 11-0 prediction was being thrown around pretty liberally. I went to Columbia for the season opener. An unmitigated disaster. Things unravelled for Carson and for Tech starting that fateful night.
