I go to GaTech, and when I saw this, I was expecting some sort of "Go get those Notre Dame Irish..." but instead, you were honestly talking about yellow jackets.

I must have stepped on their hive, but I'll never know for sure. I was too busy running. I was stung more than fifty times by yellowjackets when I was a kid.
