Since I was in first grade, I’ve tried by best to consume sports knowledge at an unreasonable level. Every morning before school I would watch ESPNews instead of Sportscenter, solely because even during their commercials, they would run scores and stats along the sidebar and bottom line.
During that time I possessed only one love in my College Football world: Georgia Tech. My father did a good job of convincing me that they were the only good guys in the sport. Sure, there were other teams, but to steal a laughable line from our buddies up the road, there was “no institution worthy of such loyalty, as [Georgia Tech]”.
