I played in the 1959 game, for Georgia, and it was one of the most tremindous events in my life. It was a game that was a sell out,as usual,at Grant Field. Up until then I had never played in front of so many. We won on a last second pass going for two points after a blocked punt for a touchdown. We won 8-7. I had played in some big high school games too-Northside vs Columbus for the state AAA title in 1957—but nothing like the tech game. I never came out of the game. Played both ways and special teams too. I was dead after it was over–but it was well worth it. There are other memories too–Scottish Rite Hospital and all those special kids–lunch with the tech team the day before at the Capital City Club and more. GO DAWGS

RE: Bill King

Do any of you actually care what a fat old man who gets his jollies calling 18-21 year old athletes in the disadvantaged ACC nerds? After you scrabled to an unexpected win last Saturday, do you need this underemployed loser to help you embarass yourselves to the rest of the SEC?

He’s a typical UGA redneck fan. He may have gone to UGA back in the day when breathing was the only prerequisite to getting in, but now would be your typical West Georgia or Perimeter loser wearing UGA clothing.

Did Wade Mitchell ever play in Tech-UGA frosh game? I remember him starting as a freshman against Notre `Dame…This was an all classic football game. The one time I did attend, it seems like they announced 45,000 at the game?

DAWG87,

As others have said, UGA would be much better off if people like you would just go away. Find another team, any team or better still go follow synchronized swimming. You’re NOT a Dawg, you’re not a football fan and you disgrace the Dawg nation with the use of “Dawg” in your handle. There is no execuse for the attitude expressed below.

Good thing they discontinued that game. Losing once this week to Tech is enough.

I agree John. I even remember the tickets to the game were very inexpensive but almost all of the proceeds went to the Children’s Hospital. Sure wish we could get this going again. I think both sides would support a game late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day!

I remember playing in 1988. What a thrill as a scout teamer/walk on. Unfortunately as a receiver I had more tackles than receptions, but I did get my name called out over the PA at Grant Field! I will never forget the expereience including the visit to the Childrens Hospital. Those kids faces lit up when you went into there room and the parents were even more appreciative. It was a very good thing!!!

Goff killed the game as well as the Clemson series. Too big time for walkons- could not handle a big rivalry with Clemson.
