Saw part one. Pretty good show.

I've seen pieces of it. Was wondering if there was any mention of the "Giant Killer" when Ga. Tech beat them twice in the same season, 1955,probably not. Kentucky was number 1 of course. Uncle John took Tech into Lexington and beat Rupp to break the longest home winning streak still to this day in any sport. I believe it was a 129 game winning streak. Rupp came to Tech with a film crew later in the year and Tech beat them again. I think he sent the film to Uncle John after they lost again. I'd like to know where that film is today, would love to see it!! Dad's cousin may have it.

More than a great coach, Whack Hyder was a father away from home for many Yellow Jackets

According to my father Adolf Rupp wouldn't pay the company that filmed the game so they gave it to Tech.
