As I passed him I said "Go Dawgs!" he grins and says, "You a Tech fan?" Yeah. Me too! and then adds, hope to get to go a game pretty soon. Never been? I ask. No sir, just planning to. Then he adds, I go to Louisiana College, but I'm a Tech fan.

A bandwagon fan! Yeah, baby!

That's a great story. Good way to start my day. Dawsg80, you have my proxy to offer a ticket (I have extras) to a game, the next time you encounter him or another "bandwagon" fan. He is my kind of guy.

And regional away games also helps keep fans' attention on the program.

Its a good problem to have when there are folks out there (of any age) wearing Tech stuff, but didn't go to school there and never been to a game. I want them to experience The Joe on a cool autumn night.
