You might have heard already, but Georgia Tech’s Ramblin’ Wreck was wrecked this past weekend.

Some GT engineers were taking the Wreck to Savannah when the axle on the trailer broke, causing the car towing the Wreck to veer off I-75.  Must not have been mechanical engineers.  The first irony was that they didn’t have insurance for the Wreck.

Anyways, in today’s AJC (registration required), the Tech guys said they wouldn’t allow pictures of the wrecked Wreck to be taken, fearing the pictures would be used to “deviously.”  You see, the Georgia Sports Blog had already offered $100 to whoever could send pictures of the wrecked Wreck.

Right there on the front page of the AJC they said no pictures.

And then Macon TV station WMAZ posted pictures and video of the wreck online this morning.

They couldn’t drive their Wreck, and neither could they defend it from devious picture taking.  I love it.
