"It is a voice revered by generations of fans. How many kids have been the stars of backyard fantasies with The Voice calling their moves? Here is a radio man who has continued to be adored in an era dominated by visual media. Why? Because with Munson, you still get the picture. And you get heart. In a one-dimensional medium, he calls the games in 3-D. Classic Munson is a verbal fist pump. Sanford Stadium may be packed between the hedges, but the majority of those fans will still tune in Munson on their headphones, letting The Voice explain what they see."

Based on some preliminary Googling, it would appear that Tech doesn’t, but the athletics department does have this. We feel like there’s some sort of a comment on the schools’ rivalry to be made here, but instead we’ll just remind y’all about our contest to win tickets to their big game on November 26.
"Most NFL wide receivers don’t devote downtime to reading Architectural Digest in a hotel room, but Hines Ward has always surprised people. Yes, this local sports star played a big role in two Super Bowl wins for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he waltzed and did the cha-cha well enough to win Dancing with the Stars this past summer. If the football lockout hadn’t gotten resolved, maybe he could have appeared on Bravo’s new Million Dollar Decorators."

This is a close one, but while Georgia-Auburn may hold the edge in terms of the number of games played, I’m going to have to go with Georgia Tech for sheer hate.
Georgia and Auburn fans make fun of one another, call each other “cheater” and “redneck” and all the rest, but Georgia and Georgia Tech fans down-and-out loathe one another — and have ever since the very first game between the two schools, when UGA fans pelted Tech’s players with rocks after Tech won. Actually, it goes back even before Tech fielded a football team to begin with — in 1892, when Georgia and Auburn played their first football game, Tech students were invited to the game (held at Piedmont Park in Atlanta) to cheer for Auburn.
This would begin a tradition that stands to this day, whereby Techies attempt to compensate for their inability to beat Georgia by living vicariously through any team that has a chance in hell of beating the Dawgs.
