Georgia Tech fans are wondering what happened to their radio analyst. The team played Syracuse in college football this weekend and Georgia Tech legend Joe Hamilton was not in his usual spot next to Andy Demetra in the team’s radio booth. Even more disturbing, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has investigated what the reason for Hamilton’s absence was and has not gotten anyone to provide an explanation.
According to the story, they reached out to the school for comment on the situation and were referred to Georgia Tech’s flagship station, 680 The Fan, where Hamilton is also part of their morning show. Hamilton is one of the co-hosts of The dressing room with Brian Finneran, Brandon Leak and John Michael.
The College Football Hall of Fame member was replaced in the locker room this weekend by former team analyst and former Georgia Tech offensive lineman Sean Bedford.
Hamilton is one of the best players in the program’s history. He was a former high school football player at South Carolina High School in both football and basketball and played for Georgia Tech from 1996 to 1999. He was selected to the first-team All-American his senior year and was also a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.
Hamilton has worked on the team broadcasts since being added to the pregame show in 2021. According to the newspaper, this is the first game Hamilton has missed since starting.
