Originally posted by luftfluss Heh, sorry, "Rambin' Wreck" is Georgia Tech. I don't know the origin of the unofficial nickname, maybe some kind of joke related to their engineering prowess, since GA Tech is an engineering school.
Well I don't know the REAL origin, but in the 70's I was a Cheerleader at University of Virginia, Ga. Tech was a rival, and on our side of the field Ramblin Wreck had to do with Engineers, speaking English and alcohol consumption.
And before you issue some broad riposte, I am old enough now to admit I was a cheerleader - and my partner was a cute blonde. So there.
