[QUOTE="Techster, post: 977815, member: 360"] One of the things I appreciate about these discussions, regardless of anyone's POV on the subject, is how it's led me to do research and learn more about GT's past (and the past of other programs as a matter of uncovering old stories). My GT fandom did not start until 1990. I was in elementary school at the time. It was probably the single most glorious year for GT fans. National Championship for football, and Final Four for basketball. Obviously, I did not live and breath the GT events previous to 1990 like some on here have, so in order to discuss some of the past events, I did extensive research. One thing is clear, it's hard to be Georgia Tech. I think we are one of the few schools in the college sports landscape that tries to do things the right way. We've paid the price for it, and limited our ceiling because of it. That's not a criticism, that's just the price a school like GT pays to do things "the right way". As you have attested previously, and as others have in the past, GT may not have maximized our wins, but we've certainly maximized the SA's potential off the field regardless of their potential on the field. I think that means something more to GT fans than the average football fan, and when we do have success, it's certainly something that's special. [/QUOTE]
