No wonder Oliver transferred !!!!

Have you ever looked at a map of where Braves season ticket holders live? Try looking at that. It pretty much answers the question, along with the financial incentives that Cobb was willing to do but Atlanta was not. One-two punch, and a win-win for the Braves....

I hear you and don't mean to minimize your point.....but... The best players are looking at the NBA and if you get there, you are essentially set for life financially and doors are open to you anyway. Pastner's pitch is great for the second tire guys who may aspire to the league (I mean, they...

Sorry, but Atlantic Station is definitely dangerous. When my (Black) assistant tells me she moved out of her apartment in the AS area because of the crime, that says you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you're watching too much cable news of the other networks.

Chicken and egg issue...winning consistnetly will draw more fans and more $$$...but we need more $$$ and fans in order to attract the studs...

I hate to put it this way, but it looks to me like he believes the style of play that UGa has used is the style to emulate, within limits. They are tough, run-based on offense. They dominate on defense. They do just enough to control every game and win without stressing or humiliating their...

He speaks truth...if you wish to compete at the highest level.

It's not MoneyBall, it's Baseball. If you look at the success of teams who have the best regular season record, it probably looks much the same as your tracking of high spending teams. baseball is a sport where the "better team" (team with better overall record) wins less often than any other...

You obviously haven't thought about our history playing UVa in Charlottesville. We rarely win there, even when we are clearly a better team. I also think based on this year that Syracuse will be a tougher game, more in the Toss up category. Although being at home helps. However, the one thing...

Bingo.

It helps to have a 25 year old QB with all those years of experience running your offense. Just wait until Pyron's 8th year in the program and think how good he'd be and how well our offense would look...

Very sad. He added a lot to college football, both with his offensive schemes and his personality. They should do a 30 x 30 on ESPN about him...

My goodness. For a bunch of fans, there are some amongst us who act like they think they know better than the professionals in their field as to who to hire. I submit you patiently wait to see actual results on the field (longer than 3 series of the opening game, if you please) before pulling...

It doesn't seem to have damaged worldwide soccer leagues to not have parity.

I disagree. I suspect you are saying this because our attendance did not rise dramatically after a big season, like after our national championship year. That's true, and imho completely understandable. Most folks understand that GT has not won CONSISTENTLY since the 1950's. So, perhaps that...

I agree with your general point, but I think that source is not as big as you may think. Donor Giving and Endowments make up only 15% of all athletic revenue. Government and Institutional Grants are by far the biggest source, and Media Rights exceed Donor Gifts and those two are unlikely to...

What's the acceptable standard?

It's not threatening. But i have heard more than a few UGa supporters argue that UGa is "as hard as GT nowadays to get into". When half of your admits (those below the average cited in earlier posts) would be below GT lowest quartile and hence wouldn't be admitted into GT...then GT is still...

My take is that this season is on the coaches, not the players. I must admit, it kinda reminds me of football performance wise. Although I've always found Pastner to be a nice guy as compared to TFG. But as far as competency goes.....

Typical Pastner result.
