You know, many years ago (the late 1990s), when I was moderator on the "NCAA football forum" for America OnLine, I was frequently accused of being partial to colleges that had "Tech" as their last name.
I was, for example, a fan of Texas Tech, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, California Polytechnic, and would've been a fan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, if they'd fielded a football team.
I'm not sure why that is, or was; I suppose I'm partial to "tech" colleges because some of the most interesting, most straight and honest, most well-rounded (in culture and arts as well as science and technology) friends I've had, and people I've known, were from "tech" colleges.
