Read my post did not say Tech is doing bad in fact the original post was GT game experience is bad and I felt that was not a good position to take. After that it was the statements that we can't compete with big state schools. I was told I swing and miss in believing we can. I used clemson and...

Great I surrender you laugh at being as good as notre dame and clemson. That is why it is hard to recruit. You don't high school players see that? I laugh at you in two weeks if you even watch the ND game because according you we can't be the fan base or program. I am a sidewalk fan and it has...

Maybe you should check some facts; GT total enrollment ~23,000 (undergrad and post) 14,682 undergrad Clemson enrollment ~ 22,000 / 17,260 Notre Dame 11,700 / 8,371 Georgia Tech is basically equal to or greater in enrollment than Clemson and Notre Dame. Georgia Tech attendance average in...

To Bruce and Jerry My implication is that you complained about the experience and I defended it My intent is not to say you are cheap that the comments make us appear cheap We can hide behind making me the bad guy but why was your opinion ok to generalize against GT game day experience Yes I...

We are have a major inferiority complex to big state schools and the fans that don't get beat up for not recognizing how disadvantaged we are Sorry I think it is a poor excuse and we make that excuse to justify not working to be better as a fan base Doesn't matter I am still just a sidewalk...

Ok should compare only to smaller schools and be like wake forest great point With regards to research I will just agree with you GT has a great reputation for drawing fans who are very zealous and the size is our problem Welcome to average you can't compete with the big state schools if you...

Sure that is why we get passed over for ncsu unc and others. Think what you want. I don't claim about Tech fans I complain about this thread that complains about the Tech experience. This post has made us look cheap. Our reputation will always be minimized when we look for the cheaper practical...

Competing with the big boys is not about the quality of food or even parking. It is about the quality and connection of your experience with that team. We make fun of other fans who spend 100 of dollars on games and we refuse to buy from our school waiting on a deal from stubhub. That is fine...

To some degree I get your point but in Columbus Ohio there are plenty of options but the reality is there is no competition for the Ohio State football games with their fans. GT has great fans but they are also more logical than most. That makes marketing our program more difficult. Passion is...

Interesting difference in fanbases. GT complains about cost and level of profit and struggles to fill the stadium. Other schools we want to compete with have fanbases waiting in line to pay and fill up even bigger stadiums. I understand the mentality but you can't expect us to compete with the...

3 - Samford game in 2006, first game with my wife. My wife and I were at this game as well and she was pregnant. Great game, but probably not her favorite memory;)! TC had the long run!

At the start of each year, the excitement builds and candidly it is like I am kid all over again with anticipation. This morning on the drive into work, here in Cincinnati, I started reflecting on the most memorable games that I have attended. So I decided on this exciting day of the first game...

Or do we choose to not provide an "unveling"? I wonder how much advatage in promotion that would generate if done each year? The better strategy might be a "Alternate" each year that generated interest for a specific game. That seems to be the approach of some programs that I would say are...

Actually 15-0.
