Eric Steagall, soon to be Ph.D. graduate of the Georgia Tech School of History and Sociology, joins the show to discuss his research on Bobby Jones (mechanical engineering grad from GT in 1922) and explore how Jones changed not only the golf landscape in America, but also stood as a prominent figure of Atlanta in its New South Creed era. Plus, many, many mentions of Johnny Smith, our favorite GT professor.
Then, our time honored tradition, the ceremonial reading of the Georgia Tech Volleyball schedule and the rest of the latest news from The Flats.
