There's one game here that jumps out to me in a big way, as one that could be in the running for the greatest environment in the history of Bobby Dodd Stadium. Check out the Florida State game. That's a game against a recent national champion and reigning Playoff team who we lost to by a slim margin in the ACC Championship. On top of that, it's Homecoming -- the one time of year when you know the stadium will be packed with Georgia Tech fans, especially those itching and clawing to get back to a game. Also, as if that wasn't enough, it's going to be played in White-Out conditions -- always sure to be a huge environment.
Thoughts on how the promos have been lined up for this fall? Can Florida State really be as out-of-control and awesome as I think? Any games you're unquestionably getting tickets for?
