1975 NCAA Champs

Discussion with the Gophers.

Considering the 1975 NCAA championship, I didn’t get to go. But, Karl Stuebenvoll (1976) and I climbed Mt. Ripley with jugs of purple dyed water and a garden sprayer and sprayed a huge “Tech is No. 1” on the slope facing campus the night of the championship. We spent hours up there in the night. Didn’t make it to morning classes the next day, but when I did make my way to campus you could still see it on the hill. Even got a 1 ½ inch article in the Daily Mining Gazette about the sign!! Very few people knew who did it because we didn’t blab too much.
