I did some digging and I hope you take some time to read up on the history of club football. I'm in the process of creating a Wikipedia page with these articles will serve as citations.
Have a read and learn something. Your humble blogger is mentioned a few times but there were many, many who put this together and made the football effort what it is. Thanks to the "GodFather of Club Football" Mark Lawson, "The Benefactor" Ed Gadrix, "The Voice of the People" Jay Bryant, Coach Ted Bahhur and his entire staff, to Chris Martz and Chris McClure for giving us the coverage on campus, to Michelle Hiskey at the AJC for taking a chance on us and giving us a front page article on the Southeast's largest newspaper, the entire club football team and many, many, many others.
These links are a part of our history and I truly hope that each and every player and those involved know that we started "GSU The Movement."

Coke Football Preview: Our first Dance with the other 2 schools in our state. I remember stories after this event that Georgia Tech players were in our dorms at the Village talking trash about how they would stomp us. As Outkast would say, "If you scared, say you scared. " This was beautiful. Signal Link
