I know the smart money is on Ga Tech.  It's a short week to prepare for any road football game, but especially the option, and Ga Tech has been hot.

But I went for Va Tech on a whim.

I wasn't counting on all of the injuries to their D.

Georgia Tech Fight Song

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 good fellows who come from far and near.
I'm a ramblin', gamblin', hell of an engineer.

Rece Davis, the Alabama graduate, remarks, "But if he did that, he would be down." And he wonders why his NFL career didn't pan out.  :lol2:

Nice.  According to the Smithsonian:

Quote
As the game continued to change, the football evolved to accommodate new rules and new plays. Most notably, in the 1930s, it became longer and slimmer as the forward pass became a more dominant–and more encouraged–part of the game.

I lived in St. Louis for three years, when both the baseball and the football team were the Cardinals.  A good friend bought season tickets to the Rams when they arrived in town, and I was there for some party introducing the new-look Rams, including the cheerleaders(!) , but I can't get use to the St Louis Rams.  The Rams belong in LA.  And the Cardinals belong in St.L., not Arizona!
