What you are not accounting for is the ceiling. Tech can win (and has in the recent past) and because of fanbase size (reality or perception) Tech's coverage will lag behind nearly all other local teams. Additionally, I have heard from those in sport talk radio that the dwag hoarde is not shy...

The sport talk radio stations cater to the dwag fan base. Part of this is adopting the dwag attitude toward Tech which is to ignore and pretend we dont exist until there is the opportunity to ridicule. Success on the field helps, but for Tech it only kicks in when we win 10 plus games. Plus it...

E. Develop some rare medical ailment that has nothing to do from football but will prevent him from playing.

Is there any evidence that the clinics have helped make fans? Or does it just make a for a fun and quirky press release/photo op with no real returns?

Nothing personal and in a perfect world what you are talking about would have some gravitas....but this isn't a perfect world and doubling down on the "elitist- nerd-every grad a millionaire" thing is going to continue to alienate Tech from the sidewalk fans we need to survive. Right now Tech's...

Jesus guys.....of all the Tech fans in the world, y'all are the Tech fan-iest.

I would put a couple on 316 headed into Athens just for the hell of it. It won't do a bit of good financially, but the ROI on ticked off dwags would be worth it.

Pepper is older than Fulcher

Fixed that for you. College football media coverage, especially locally, is not a meritocracy.

I won't pretend to know all the details around this, but Tech has a very hard time taking JUCO transfers, and despite spending his first year here, in essence that is what it would have been. Once again I could be wrong, but I dont know if his JUCO credits from Garden State would have...

NEWSFLASH: This is what "not giving up" looks like. Find a way to be competitive despite ones challenges. CPJ has done this.

92.9 can broadcast and promote GSU without fear of ticking off dwag fans and the GSU fans ( both of them ) won't care when the hosts slobber over the dwags the other 99% of the time. 680 always sounds very uncomfortable talking about Tech.....they know they have to mention us every so often...

Goodness! Pre-season is normally the time everyone is optimistic. I sure would hate to see you when you are feeling pessimistic.

I can always tell when I have been to a game at Chapel Hill....knees and shins are all bruised up from the damn bench backs on their seats.

I remember reading "Dodd's Luck" many years ago and coming away with the impression that although Coach loved GT, he felt like he had been too loyal and it had hurt his coaching career. He had an offer to go to Texas at one point before Darrell Royal and he turned it down. He seemed to regret...

This. They almost never have "open lines" segments where the callers drive the show. Their shows are primarily "talent" and producer driven. They choose the topic and discuss on their timetable. They may occasionally take a phone call or two but generally only on the topic at hand. Shapiro...

No....hell no....we have to go down fighting. To paraphrase "Animal House" this may eventually be the place for a stupid and futile gesture.

I get it and agree with you 100%. You are preaching to the choir....but the choir is getting older and dwindling.

I have had more than one UGA fan tell me they pull for the Dwags because they are from the State of Georgia not the State of Georgia Tech. The honest truth is that UGA is seen as the natural team for a sidewalk fan in this state. Tech is a niche program that attracts support primarily and...
