Thank you to all of you for sharing. It has been enlightening to say the least.

Go Jackets!
Bust Their Ass!

So what parsing algorithm are you using to input this into the AI? I guess what I'm really asking is how much time before dudes with badges and tacticool gear show up to take away us wrong-thinkers?

Been going to Tech games longer than I can remember, would have been '81 or '82 (born in '80).

1991 GT vs Nebraska

First game I saw at Grant Field was 1958 (I was 8 years old),GT played Alabama and
lost 17-8, GT finished 5-4-1 in 1958. Never the less I was hooked on the Yellow Jackets,
thanks to my older brother and uncle who both loved the Yellow Jackets!!!

THWg!!!!!!!!

Have you guys always been this old?

And post the year you attended your FIRST Georgia Tech game and the opponent if you remember. I’m just curious is all. Thank you in advance.

1975 - Duke

I think I might have been at the 75 Duke game, but my very first was early 60's, my dad would take us on Thanksgiving to see the Freshman game. First varsity game might have been around 71 or so, wish I could remember more but mind is hampered by too much liquor over the years.

1983. GT vs Furman. I was 11 and we got tickets from someone. GT lost. Didn’t go to another one until I was a freshman at GT in 91’. Since then I’ve only missed a handful of home games (<10) up to now.

@MoverofFridge2 this has been one of my all-time favorite threads. Thanks.

I have to agree. It has been enlightening to see the dates and teams. I’m not as old as I thought, yet older than most here.

my family frequently drove to Newnan from LaGrange (sixties/seventies)
to eat at Melear's BBQ....great pulled pork and fantastic Brunswick stew

The Brunswick stew was the best I have ever tasted, We used to go to the one in Fairburn.

The newest Tech fans in this thread went to their first game in 2009. Concerning.

Robert Lavette's debut, I believe! I was finishing up my summer job in Pensacola FL, living with my cousin and her husband, both big Bammer fans. We were all shocked and in disbelief of the outcome of that game: they were sad; I was, quietly, ecstatic! That was about one week before I moved to the YMCA to start my first Quarter @ Tech.
