5 more years

of 680 the fan.

IOW, 5 more years not being able to listen to game in radio, & anti GT shows.

This is innovation?

Who cares. I for one never listen to the game on the radio. Pretty much make it a point to be there or be in front of a TV (or phone/computer/tablet). I could probably suffer through one radio game every 3-4 years if I was traveling. And by traveling I guess I mean physically driving a long distance, bc you can stream every game these days.

Atlanta sports radio is horrid. I've given up listening to both stations entirely.

FWIW, the gameday app provides a really good experience, even if you're driving around. You just turn on your car's bluetooth, and you have a super homer call, every game.

What option out there is better than our deal with 680? I hate 680 and most of the pukes on that channel bloviating pure donkey dung....but I'm unaware of a better deal to be had locally.

So why bother working on a radio deal?

How is it that every other major football playing school in America is so much smarter than we are?

Not able, afaik, to drive car into GF and use the Bluetooth.

An not carrying a computer into the stadium for a game day app.

TONS if people want to listen to ganes on the radio, even while at the game.

Just more of the same excuses from the last 50 years.

You don't have to have your car; you simply use the game day app on your phone while in the stadium. That's what you would used for the bluetooth option in your car anyway.

You realize the computers that apps come on are really small?

I love the game day app. The announcers are so much better than those on TV. It has also allowed me to combine two of my favorite things, hunting and GT football.

Do you have any problem with the volume on it? Unless I am bluetoothing it in my car, I really have a hard time hearing them most of the time.

There are enough alternatives, that earbuds aren't worth the investment. Plus, I wear hearing aids, and ear buds don't work with them in my ears.
