Coach O'Leary has said several times that he wants "crazy fans" in
the North endzone to create a very loud cheering section that can
help with the home team advantage.  To that end, I believe that the
marketing people at the AA and the Ramblin Reck Club came up with
this solution.  Personally, I would say it has worked pretty well.
The ESPN cameras showed this group several times during the game
and it made Tech look very spirited.

On the block seating note, the AA was concerned about fraternities
not getting to the game by kickoff and threatened to pull block
seating altogether.  Luckily for both parties, fraternities agreed
to do a better job with getting to the game on times, and the AA
agreed to let block seating remain.
