A GT Family

So as a Georgia Tech Family today was of course about The Game. If you somehow missed it there's a wee bit of a rivalry down here with GT and UGA. It's fondly referred to as "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate." I grew up in a family that was split in their alliances but when I married a soon to be GT grad. I signed up to support GT forever and I definitely am a true fan now. I'm not that much of a football fan in general but when it's GT we're always interested and if it's GT versus UGA we're required to watch.

Anyway unfortunately tonight's game didn't go as planned (!@#$% missed free kick) but anyway looking onward to next year. In the meantime in honor of GT I'm adding our amazing fight song which only a UGA fan could not get a kick out of, and a picture of my mini-GT fans who were cheering along with us today.




Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech
(Copied from Wikipedia thus the links)
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!
