I’m willing to be that a lot of people would say the same about some of the music you listen to and I listen to. The part about it being crap. It’s crap to you. However, as I said elsewhere, my 15 year old, who is friends with many of the football players on her HS team, some of whom have had...

I thought I read that he didn't play due to some injury. Didn't say anything about severity of any injuries just that a few guys didn't play.

I thought I had read all the posts in this thread but I must have missed a couple before I posted my response. Was the context of your comment about things like the shirts being given out to the students and the band? If that’s the case then please accept my apologies for not doing my due...

I was sitting in lower west right about the 40 yard line on the southern side of the field and there were a bunch of times I could hear the band just fine (and commented to my family that they sounded pretty good).

This is where you start sounding like "only people wearing white and gold are acceptable" which is pretty condescending and incredibly off-putting to other people who'd like to be fans. Personally, as I've said elsewhere, I'll take all the fans that want to come and watch the game. If they've...

Again, we aren't the target market (I thought the band sounded really good when we could hear them). I mentioned to my daughter at one point that I thought the band sounded good. Her response: "I like the other music better." She's definitely my barometer for what kids like. And I'm...

You know what? I actually agree that the uniforms didn't really do anything for me. I didn't dislike them. They just didn't wow me at all in any way. But all I care about is that the players and recruits love them so I don't need to think they look any particular way. I was very grateful...

So here's the generational thing coming up. And please don't take this as criticism because I didn't love the music, either. But my 15 year old daughter LOVED the music and was asking if I thought they'd post the playlist anywhere (she's a cheerleader at her HS and yes we recruit her school...

PeachPass!

To me the Miami reference was more about focusing on the metro area where the school lives and not as much the "thug" nature they adopted.

Generally I agree. Especially regarding how pathetic Steak Shapiro is (I don’t care if he loves UGA, I just think he’s a terrible radio host no matter what he’s talking about). However, in the podcast (which sounds like it’s shorter than the whole segment with CGC) I thought the 680 crew...

I'll be there with my wife and daughter!

I agree completely with you on this one. I've always felt that if you can graduate from GT in less than 4 years then you've earned the right to leave at that time... hah hah :D

I didn't get to GT until 1984 and wasn't a huge college football fan until then (I grew up in DC where NFL was king and the team there was worth watching) but from 1984-1986 our dark jerseys were black, as you said. I'm not sure why people are overthinking this. I don't know why we switched to...

Folks if you come out and scream for the Jackets I promise I won’t judge you if you aren’t wearing white and gold. As long as it says GT or Tech and doesn’t blatantly represent our opponents I’ll still think of you as a fan. Just come and cheer for the team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just in case I already have the rain jackets in the car!

We get that you're actually concerned about it. Most of us think you're concerned about something that is bringing in so much more than the minute/almost non-existent chance that it will alienate a tiny percentage of kids vs the HUMONGOUS percentage of kids it is resonating with. The risk, if...

Totally feeling the same way!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's not any specific, individual, new thing that excites the kids. I think it's the fact that they will get new and exciting things throughout their time in a program that can be attractive to them. I may not love all the different uniform combos that Oregon puts on their kids but the...

I understand what you're saying but I didn't second-guess CPJ and his staff on stuff like this (meaning: where they put players, who they recruited, player-type stuff) and I'm not going to start with CGC. That doesn't mean it's wrong to be concerned or to state such concerns. I'm just not...
