I don't always root for an ACC team, but when I do, they're playing FSU

Go Yellow Jackets and Nuck the 'Foles!

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an engineer—
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer.
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer.

Oh! If I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in White and Gold,
And put her on the campus to cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do—
He would yell, 'To hell with Georgia!' like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar three thousand pounds,
A college bell to put it in and a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows who come from far and near.
I'm a ramblin', gamblin', hell of an engineer!

Alex.

Started my Masters in Management at Tech, but they didn't have an evening school back in 1983, so finished it at GA State. Still . . . . of course I want FSU to lose, but now that it's Tech, I want them to win even more. GO JACKETS!!

Georgia Tech has always been one of those teams that I'll root for in a neutral game that I'm watching. Maybe it's because they hate UGA just as much as we do, but I like seeing them win.

Agree. And the reasoning is exactly it. They don't interfere with us, and hate two of our enemies.

Also, there's something deceptively cool about the bee/hornet mascot, imo. I've always liked it.

And they have a great fight song. Not to mention they're a bunch of dorks like me. :nerd:

Can't think of the fight song off the top of my head. But they've got a classic feel to them, which I like.

Alex has the lyrics in the OP, but yeah, great fight song.

They have a cool history with John Heisman having coached there.

Plus Pepper Rodgers gave SOS his first real coaching job at GATech AND Bobby Dodd's son played for UF and helped lead the Gators to a victory against his Father's higher ranked GATech team back in the early 60's.

How do I know all this?

They should give me Norm Carlson's old job.

I would love for them to Stomp the Semenholes as much as the next guy, but let's not go overboard with this love of anything from Jyorgya.

Doug Dickey gave SOS his first real coaching job. Quarterback coach at UF in Dickey's final year. SOS has always been grateful to Doug for that.

Truth be told, there aren't many hot girls at GaTech. It's an engineering school with like a 2:1 male to female ratio (by comparison, UF is currently 45% male to 55% female) and the few girls that are there tend to be uh, you know, the geeky kind. Lots of those Tech boys have to find an Emory girl to date.

That's the ratio at GaTech today. It was much worse for those boys back in the 80's and 90's. I had a sorta cute friend from High School who thought about going there and did a campus visit. She wasn't hot, she was like the cutest girl in your AP calculus class. Above average...a solid 6 1/2, maybe a 7 if she put some effort into it. While she was on her campus tour, the GaTech boys were so desperate they were BEGGING her to go to school there saying things like "There are no hot girls in my classes, we NEED you here."

She chose UF.

Smart girl.

Oh yeah, Nuck the 'Foles!

Alex.
