All of you dumb***es are about to find out the harsh reality of “Money talks, bull**** walks.” Ain’t no coach worth his salt gonna come here and be told he only has the budget for a whopping 3-4 recruiters. They’re gonna want an assistant coach whose only job IS recruiting. And that...
If you really wanted to change college football and take it back to a better place, you’d do like the Ivy League does and get rid of athletic scholarships. Student first, Athlete second.
Sure, schools with little to no scruples about who they let in would still be good, but it would just...
True. You’re absolutely right. So there is that data point.
I’m just not sure if we’ll get the “chunk” yardage we like to see on the perimeter. I think we’ll get yardage but I’m not sure if it’ll be enough to beat them with only that facet of the option game working. No doubt, we’ll get...
Miami, regardless of overall record, has too much team speed to afford our guys the outside much. I see midline coming on for days. Gotta run right at ‘em.
It’s refreshing to see us win even when we do everything to the contrary to do that. That’s a maturity thing. Gotta remember that the other team has talented players too and that if you let them hang around, they can make you pay. I don’t know why that’s hard for our players to understand...
It’s an indictment of the school and fan base, if anything. He says we’ll compete with the big boys when we’re ready to commit to doing what it takes to compete. And that’s a fact. When we’re ready to let some big time athletes in, then we won’t need the Option anymore. Until then, it’s what...
Correct. Now I don’t want to put out any subtle xenophobic or prejudiced vibes with what I’m saying. It’s just worth pointing at that your average college football fan, one who not only sports team apparel but buys tickets year in year out, who makes sure their kids become fans, are white...
If that’s the case, then I think I know how this whole thing plays out. It doesn’t look good for fans like us who ain’t directly connected to the school.
Thank you for your time and input in this discussion. Hopefully the season can play out in our favor down the stretch. Go Jackets!
You’re right, but think about this... 80’s grads have kids who are in their 30’s now. Some in their late 30’s... depending on the graduating class. And the 1980’s ain’t ancient history either. The common denominator in this problem seems to be the school itself. What I’m getting at is that...
The answer to how to attract the non-alumni fans lies in answering how to make Tech “relatable” to the average Georgian. That’s the rub. The days of the high school valedictorian automatically going to Tech are over. I know we’re a weak state academically, but you’re not gonna have many...
The problem may not be new but the necessity to change to today’s environment and demands in college football HAVE changed.
You can’t fight the future. Wait... you CAN fight the future, but you’re not gonna win.
Just curious, but have any of you thought about the change in demographics in the student body makeup and how it impacts the fan base as a whole? Especially over time. I know most Tech grads have always had to leave Atlanta and Georgia for jobs post-grad for a number of years, but how has the...
Which is fine and all. But if football is not gonna be a priority then the expectation has to match the commitment. I just wish the school would come out and say something one way or the other so we could all stop wasting our time.
I guess your seats were the 2 empty seats 2 rows down from me then. Glad to see you support these guys no matter what the temperature is.
I understand what you’re getting at but that’s a flawed logic. The problem with the teams you mentioned is that they could care less who they let in to...
He probably means that the culture of the school needs to change in order for us to be competitive in today’s college football world. It’s not a priority for us to be good and it needs to be one in order to be successful at it. We few fans may want it to be good, but the culture of the school...
