And the Ramblers after that.
And even the Crimson Panthers for a bit (An Alabama grad President ripped it off).

Up until last year we had a classroom building for 75 years that was a converted parking garage.

We were literally founded next to the railroad tracks and next to Underground Atlanta. When the building that was the football practice facility was purchased on 888 MLK, they actually found secret compartment in the warehouse foundation that may have been bootleggers hiding spots. The complex is now the Soccer Complex and MARTA elevated rail goes right by the edge of the field. So we have a long railroad association, hence the Sound the Horn campaign.

Several buildings on campus are or were pre WW II office building with a couple being pre WW I.

GSU and GT are the closest located campuses to each other in FBS.
