[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 238806, member: 990"] So I called 680 the other day during the late morning show. They were slamming Tech and Tech fans in the wake of the Bobexit: Tech has a passionless following, cant put butts in the seats, dont financially support the programs. I pointed out that part of the issue lies with the local media and their understandable ( but overdone) slobbering over the dwags huge fan base. It is hard to build any excitement for a program when the local media follows your biggest rival's narrative about you. All you get locally is ignore Tech as much as possible, but when you do mention us, make sure there is some sort of insult or backhanded compliment. Steak Shapiro's answer was that their research shows that out of every 10 local sportstalk listeners who back either in state team, 9 are dwags and only 1 is a Tech fan. That figure may be true, but it doesnt account for potential Tech listeners who are driven away because they rarely mention their team and when they do it is laced with insults. I guess the conventional wisdom is that if they gave Tech any more airtime or respect they would drive away more uga listeners than they would attract Tech fans. [/QUOTE]
