Escaping Death: Georgia Tech @ Clemson 2004, featuring the Birth of a Legend

I was only 12 years old, but I can remember the ten-minute bus ride back to the old YMCA parking lot in Clemson like it was yesterday. Georgia Tech just pulled off one of the most insane comebacks the ACC had ever seen. A freshman wide receiver cemented his name in college football history - and all it took was ten minutes. We were ecstatic, but our bus ride didn't start that way.

I grew up in Marietta, Georgia. My father is a Georgia Tech graduate, so naturally I also grew up pulling for the Yellow Jackets. We had season tickets to basketball games, baseball games, and, of course, football games.
