Followed my father who was a 67 grad. He was a bigger Gt fan than most anyone I know. I have peace knowing he’s with Jesus. We were planning to come tonight before. Give ‘em hell tonight jackets!

Yellowjackets only; please don’t sell these tickets. DM me if you need ‘em.

Now I’m bored with them. Lol

It’s game day! Meaningful football in November! We can get to a bowl today! Night game! So much to be excited about coming from where we were with scooter.

The former Auburn commit expected at Georgia Tech this weekend:

SERVPRO First Responder Bowl
Gerald J. Ford Stadium (Dallas)
5:30 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Bonagura: Texas Tech vs. Georgia Tech


Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl
Yankee Stadium (New York)
2:15 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Schlabach: Georgia Tech vs. Rutgers
Palm: Georgia Tech vs. Rutgers



Not sure of any others so far.


On a side note, the ACC already has 8 bowl eligible teams. GT and VT could easily get their 6th wins, and Syracuse still plays Wake so they could as well.

The former CPJ walk-on WR from Cartersville, RB Clyburn is doing well in the golf realm. Near seeing a former GT guy doing well

Who all tailgates in W21 again?

THE FLATS – Ludacris, one of the world’s most recognizable hip-hop artists and entertainers, will be the featured performer at Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai prior to Georgia Tech football’s regular-season finale versus archrival Georgia on Saturday, Nov. 25.



Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, who has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad,” is no stranger to the Georgia Tech-Georgia rivalry as an Atlanta resident and graduate of Atlanta’s Banneker High School. He will take the stage on North Avenue right in front of Tech Tower Lawn immediately following Yellow Jacket Alley, Georgia Tech football team’s gameday arrival at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Yellow Jacket Alley will take place two-and-a-half hours before kickoff, which is expected to be announced on Monday, Nov. 13.



Pregame concerts are FREE for all fans in attendance for the Georgia Tech-Georgia football game as part of Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai, which has transformed the Georgia Tech football pregame experience by bringing the excitement and pageantry of Tech football to one of the most visible and vibrant areas of campus and the city of Atlanta – North Avenue.
