Mash On The Gas Pre-Game Speech

From the 2006 GameDay Experience vs. Maryland, this is one of our favorites and gave us the name of our site. Make sure you turn it up loud so you can hear Derrek Moore's (GT Team Chaplain) wonderful pre-game speech, followed by game highlights set to Danzig's "Mother." Rock On! Make sure you wait until the end to hear Wes Durham's call of the game: the goal line stance with seconds left. This was the moment I chewed off all my fingernails!

2006 Highlights

Just a blast to watch! Love the ending with the team singing "Ramblin' Wreck" in the locker room. "Here come the boys from the South!"

HECK of a engineer?

This is a clip from an old movie that includes a rendition of "I'm A Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech." They don't start in on "Ramblin' Wreck" until about the 1:25 mark. The first half of this medley is the Maine "Stein Song," the fight song of the University of Maine Black Bears.

This clip is from the 1947 ten minute movie short called "Let's Sing A College Song" from Universal's "Sing and Be Happy" series of audience participation sing-a-longs. (Can you imagine what this would be like today!) The singing group is The Gordonaires of Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians and The University Chorus. This ten minute short has campus footage from five colleges and it was no coincidence that four of the five had football teams ranked high in the polls during the 1940s. The exception was the University of Maine but it was included because the producers wrongfully concluded that the audiences across America all knew the words to "The Stein Song." Most didn't, and still don't.

I think it's hilarious that they changed "Hell of an Engineer" to "Heck of of an Engineer." TIMMY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!! But here, have another drink!

Oh, and we should dance around tables more.
