Cool that Grimes has roots there and with Andy Reid. Small World.
I wonder if they exchange note on facial hair.

I can do Andy Bitter one better.

The bus ride home should be named the Keith Short Memorial Bus Trip. In 1995, the OL missed a team curfew early in the week and was sent home to Blacksburg, Va by the now infamous 2-day bus trip. He missed the 28-10 Sugar Bowl victory over Texas.

In 1999, he was the starting center for the Tech team that went undefeated and played FSU for the NC.

He is currently the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at Tech.

That would be an agonizing trip home.

Yes indeed. Hence the motivation to not miss curfew.
