Woof.....
Nothing on the Monday schedule so no results to report. Baseball at Clemson tonight.
I have been lucky enough to find the long missing 2002 Georgia at South Carolina program. The one where Pollack stripped Pickens in the endzone. I now have every Georgia program back to 1967. Only missing one program from 1966. Georgia at VMI. What in the hell are we playing at tiny VMI for? I mean we were Cotton Bowl Champs and ended up #4 in nation in 1966.
Oh wait, it was the Victory Stadium in Roanoke Virginia. Victory Stadium was constructed in 1942. The name was meant to be a rallying cry for Allied victory in World War II. The stadium seated approximately 25,000, which made it the largest
football stadium in Virginia when it opened, and regularly hosted games with large crowds during the first decades of its existence. Most famously, Victory Stadium hosted an annual Thanksgiving Day game between Virginia Military Institute, or VMI, and Virginia Tech, then known as VPI, until 1969. The game was part of a day of festivities which included a parade
from downtown Roanoke to the stadium. From 1958 to 1969, Victory Stadium also hosted an annual game, typically featuring VPI, known as the Harvest Bowl. From 1946 to 1950, the South's Oldest Rivalry between the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina was held at the stadium.
It was demolished in 2006.
Hey we played in Porter Stadium in Macon, this stadium still around?
