I enjoy the 2012 Tech game. They came out and marched up and down on us. Got very nervous since they were ranked and coming off spanking WVU. And then boom, the hit by Meshak and fumble return changed everything. The destruction didn't end until AB's pick six and the ensuing Gusgasm.
The past 3 Tech games have been pretty great. In 2011, no one was ever really sure if we were good, and our first two touchdowns were a Nigel Malone INT in the first minute of the game and a Lockett kick off return. They had been running the ball at will, but we blocked two of their FG's and were down 8 at half. Then Klein throws a beaut to Harper over the shoulder in the corner of the endzone, down 1. TT catches a ball over his head that leads to an awesome double backwards somersault. We cruise into the win after that.
In 2012, we had such a rocky start and I thought it wouldn't be enough to overcome. Tech had only lost one game at that point and I thought they were the real deal, though I may have been the only one. Refs were being dicks, calling back Childs fumble recover that should have been a TD because of some nonsense call on Mueller. Tech was up 10-3 until the middle of the 2nd quarter when Hubert got stood up by the entire Tech team at the goal line, but backed it out to the corner to tie it up. Then it was so, so fun. Blocking FGs again, Harper being dubbed "The People's Champion", "ARTHUR.....BROWN.......JUNIOR!!!!!!"s touchdown.
And of course this year, Tech was just in the top 10, again we struggle at the beginning. And then we just turn it on and never turn it off or even think of turning it off. Mueller and Zimmerman had what would have been a coming out party if they hadn't been studs before, Sams was high stepping all over the field, 4 TDs in the 2nd quarter.
So yeah, they've all been one of my favorite games of the season.
