VaTech's Guide to the ACC

Fairly funny guide for Hokie fans joining the ACC. Link here. On GT:

Georgia Tech

The ACC’s first Tech. They have a pretty good engineering school, and in the Hive a really funny message board.

Football atmosphere: The recent expansion of Bobby Dodd Stadium looks a lot like Lane Stadium's SEZ.

Basketball atmosphere: Alexander Coliseum would be just as obsolete as Cassell were it not for the new basketball support building that is going up.

Reason to visit: Two words: Underground Atlanta.

Factoid: Multi-Tech Athletic Director Dave Braine has a pretty good track record when it comes to hiring basketball coaches. Bill Foster won at our Tech and Paul Hewitt seems to be working out fairly well at this one.

Often heard at games: "We’re the real Tech in this conference."

"During expansion there sure were a lot of VPI people around here in positions of authority."

"Who hasn’t lied on their resume?"
However, anyone who says Underground Atlanta is THE reason to visit ATL obviously has never been there.
