GT Fight Song - where does it rank?

Fox Sports writer (and Bleacherreport writer) Justin Goar says that the Georgia Tech fight song is the 3rd best in the nation. Can't argue with that.

No. 3 Georgia Tech
If this were a list of most-fun-fight-songs, "Ramblin Wreck" would be at the top. It's truly a song that should always be associated with Saturdays in the fall. I do wonder when this song was written, how many choices of words they tried that rhymed with "Tech" before they settled on "wreck"? I think after countless hours of debate and coffee and cigarette chasers they went "Ok, 'wreck' is a term that's usually bad, but we're gonna make it good."

Everyone agreed and called it a night. I think it worked. (Actual history may vary).

Check out ACC Nation's interview with Paul Johnson. Nothing really new for Tech fans, but always good to hear him talk about the players, the plans and the attitudes.

Let's Revisit the Voicemail Experiment

Ok, so I put a new feature on the site allowing you to leave a voice message which might have a chance to get posted for everyone to listen to. The result.............. not one person leaves a message. The thing is actually "free" (it calls you), so I'm scratching my head as to why there are no takers. Here are some thoughts

• The psychology of transitioning from an "anonymous" person typing un-traceable rants on a keyboard is acceptably detached. Leaving a voicemail completely changes the psychology. Maybe it's too personal. Maybe you don't want that level of commitment. The spoken word is just there to judged and maybe you're feeling too vulnerable.


• The psychology of the internet (and more specifically a blog) as an audio medium. The radio is the radio........ a blog is a blog ........ and never the 'twain shall meet. What I'm attempting is not podcasting either.


• You need to be alone when you do it and it's just too inconvenient. Get the kids to bed and go hide in a room where your wife or girlfriend can't hear you so you won't get embarrassed.


• You can't really call from your car because you need to click through the link on the website. A lot of radio show callers call from their cars. Not so practical here.


• I need to better define the parameters and topics of a message. Just saying "leave you take" is too vague and not worth the brain-power to figure out what to say.

So with that, let's try again. I am going to give you a topic. Think about it, then click the "call me" link. That button will flip over - enter your phone number - and hit call. Your phone will ring....... you will hear a short message.......... then leave yours..................

By the way, I think you get 3:00 minutes - so don't get long-winded or you'll get cut-off.

As usual, no profanity please
