Georgia Tech football: Go Jackets

The Ramblin' Wreck, a 1930 Ford Model A, leads the Jackets onto the field at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field, the oldest on-campus stadium in major college football, with the Midtown Atlanta skyline behind it. "I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech" is known around the world, and Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate with Georgia never cools off.
