I agree more with ND statement than that of Cabrera and Batt. There was at least some recognition by ND that this is undesirable. Cabrera and Batt didn’t express such a sentiment. Sure they stated they would not compromise our academic standing and support our student-athletes athletically...

I agree. But I won’t judge others for continuing to support college athletics as it ventures forward with direct payments to players. And while I will not continue my support, God knows I’ve supported for decades an ever increasing system forever impacted by large amounts of money. So I...

Perhaps it was my post you are referring to in my wife and my decision to not support GTAA if student-athletes become employees. I understand and respect the position you express - when you "wear the GT on ... shirt or hat" you support the team, not the school. That is fair. However, for us...

Just read the AJC article about potential NCAA class action settlement including allowing student athletes to be paid directly from schools. My wife and have discussed this and our future plans. We’re both Tech alumni, she was a VB student athlete, we are season ticket holders for FB, MBB...

That’s because at least half the non-student fans were Clemson fans. Yeah it’s a frustrating year. But when Tech fans don’t show up and even worse sell their seats to the opposition - that sends a shameful message to the players, coaches, and recruits. I know, I know - “if we start...

Can’t win when you shoot 30% vs. 50%. But it’s frustrating that we don’t show any signs of improvement. We’ve hit a wall.

ACC announcer says we are on the uptick. Huh? We are making no progress.

Curious - what is your basis that CDS has quit on this team? Perhaps he’s struggling to find the root cause of their inconsistency - from game to game, or even within a game. Perhaps he’s been at a loss to find a floor leader. But to say he’s given up on his players. What is the evidence...

The only consistent thing is their their inconsistency. As a team and individually they are all over the place. I have no way of knowing what is going on psychologically or their mindset, but there is absolutely no leadership on the floor. With the mix of former players, transfers, and...

Yeah … I’m sick and tired of the fair weathered Tech “faithful”. Just like all the red and black at Grant Field. I like to win … and it’s challenging when your team is struggling … but is it too much to ask to support the student athletes that wear white and gold. I guess it is.

Great turnout and enthusiasm by the students. Without students there was more blue by far. As hard as Tech played, I was embarrassed by all the blue and how vocal they were. Our student-athletes deserve better. While not their focus, I’m sure they noticed.

All you Tech “faithful” that sold their seats to UNC fans … you get what you deserve. Missing a great win! Shame on you for not supporting our boys in white and gold. To be honest … I’m really over all you fair weather Tech fans.

If it weren’t for the students it would be 5 to 1 UNC to Tech.

It’s not a white out … it’s a blue out. I’m disappointed and disgusted with all the Tech fans who sell their seats to UNC fans. Sure it’s a challenging season. But support your team. I’m fed up with so many Tech fans. You should be ashamed.
