Speaking if which, what happened to all the redneck Tech students? I remember there were a lot of them in the 70s. The guys from the 50s and 60s all looked like mission control from the Mercury launches. The guys from the 70s looked like the road crew for a David Alan Coe show.

Good God....I have never seen such a sad sack, eeyore "fan" base in all my life. Quitcher beeyotchin, get excited and support your team. Tech went 3-9 last year, so what? Wipe it out, sack up, and support your team. If it happens again this year, do the same in 2017. Rinse and repeat, mfers...

I will agree with you that those two programs pulled themselves up by their bootstraps....or in the case of Baylor, co-eds' bra straps. However, it has been my experience that whenever one of the non marquee teams in the ACC ends up on top, all we hear is that it is a down year for the...

I don't mind the idea of a marquee team being the standard bearer for each division or for the conference as a whole. What I do take issue with is this idea that there are only certain member schools that are allowed to be marquee teams.

Cut me some slack. I have 2 degrees but they are both from UGA. 4shot's later post gets to the crux of the marketing problem and I think it is culturally endemic to Tech. Despite the widened curriculum, Tech is still a school for engineers, by engineers. Having been raised by a couple of...

Ok....let's assume arguendo that you are correct. I have yet to hear concrete suggestions (that have an actual chance of being implemented) to fix the problem. "Don't suck" is not a suggestion. If you have something that will help attract more 4 and 5 star talent to Tech annually, please don't...

Boy howdy, that lousy 3-9 season sure did a number on a bunch of folks. There are some really short memories around here. 1) One person claims we need to average 7+ wins to get coverage from the local media.....but that is exactly what we have done since GOL turned it around 20 years ago...

Not meaning to contradict what you are saying, but I did some research a few years ago with listed attendance figures and there were only about 7 years scattered between the mid 50s and early 60s (with an outlier in 67, the first year of the upper west) where Tech showed sellouts. Granted,I was...

1. Get a Tech Man elected Governor. 2. Stack the BOR and add easier majors 3. ???? 4. Profit!

Feel free to check my math but over the last 20 years Stanford has won 136 games, Notre Dame 151 and Tech 153.

I would take OP's assertion as being more genuine if he had made the same statement after 11-3 and Orange Bowl victory. Things are never as good or bad as they seem.

Always nice to know exactly when it will start raining.:banghead:

92.998k day doesnt have the same ring to it.

Amen

Which raises the question....what is your definition of "not competitive"? Granted, this last season of 3-9 sucked, but were you saying we werent competitive at 11-3 the year before? I have seen "not competitive" and in my opinion this aint it. Now if you are thinking prospectively and...

Fine to agree to disagree...but what is your definition of compete? At least two of the teams you mentioned we have a winning record against the last 10 years.

As someone with a complicated view of this rivalry, I appreciate it as well, Flea!

And yet, they do...day in and day out. Thank goodness the teams don't listen to such nonsense. I do agree it is great to hear Al and TYLH. Soundtrack of my youth.

That is simply amazing. I cannot think of another program that has a bigger discrepancy between performance on the field and the level of affection / support it receives from the population at large and media of its home state.

I am curious about what types of statements you heard from the Tucker coaches.
