And a good reason to eat and leave before family drama started.  LOL

I was surprised to learn it has only been played four times on Thanksgiving.

Back in the old days (before my time on this earth) Rockmart and Cedartown (Yellow Jackets vs. Bulldogs) mimicked their elders and used to play one another also on Thanksgiving Day.

Didn't UGA and Tech briefly revive that back in the 1990s? Was it when Goff was head coach?

They did.  I think fall of ‘97 was the last time they played on Thanksgiving.

1971, 1975, 1991 and 1995 are the years we played on Thanksgiving Day.  If I had to guess, I'd say tv had something to do with all 4 of those games.  The JV game was on Thanksgiving Day.  The nerds used to cheat like mofos in that game.  They always loaded their JV roster with varsity players for that game.

I sit corrected.  I was at the game, but thought it later.  Thanks for the correction.

I forgot about the JV game being played on Thanksgiving Day. Wasn't there some kind of a charity/fundraiser associated with that game?

Scottish Rite is correct.  One of my best friends still has his watch from when he played in that game and the players got a watch with Scottish Rite on the face.  I think Scottish Rite still has something to do with the Georgia/tech game and the Governor's Trophy each year.

Of course they cheated, it's in their blood as they feel so inadequate in all things manly.
