The 1956 video had some fine examples of Auburn engineering to be able to have those wrecks drive the way they did.  Bravo.

In the 1983 video there was a float the proudly state “Catch a Buzz, Aubie”.  Did you come up with that one Fifty?

The Wreck Tech parade down at Auburn use to be SO much fun. Some of the nuttiest and most creative floats you'd ever want to see. I sure hated to see it go.

I see you had football players and I just meant frats and stuff. My reading comprehension is a little slow the last few days

I'm in that video of the 1983 Parade - running along between two groups as a marshall - wearing a visor and a white Auburn sweatshirt  - had never seen it until just recently but remember it like it was yesterday -

Thanks for posting those...

Somewhere I have some pictures of the 1987 Wreck Tech parade, which was the last one (unless there were parades in '03 and '05 when we played them).

it appears some folks do not remember the hate for tech. i am not exactly how the hate started but i joined right in with them.

There were several reasons. One is they thought it was beneath them to come to Auburn so we always had to play them and the Pinkerton detectives in Atlanta. They could never get over Auburn students greasing the railroad tracks at the Auburn Depot causing their train to slide aways down the tracks so they had to walk back.
