[QUOTE="TheSilasSonRising, post: 75447, member: 926"] This is like whiz zing into the wind, but, yes, we would have been much better if we had stayed in the SEC. Look at the recruits we have lost in the last few years ( Douglas, Flowers first 2 off top of my head). There are plenty of players in the SEC qualified to get into GT even now. We turned our back on our heritage. 80 k? Don't know but we would have been over 60 or 65 k and sold out with mostly GT fans. The schedule alone would have guaranteed it. Just compare 2008 - the MSU game atmosphere vs, say, Duke atmosphere. Dodd had no vision and whether it was ship limits or holt incident - he picked up our marbles and said "I am going home". If the problem was the ship limits, you work within the system and help foster changes for the better. If it was the holt incident, in those days there were a lot of SEC teams that did not play each other. Dodd could have dropped bama and just picked up Kentucky / LSU / miss state / or ole miss. That was all that was necessary but his ego cost GT. The question now is what to do. Beat UGa more and play better OOC teams and win as often as you lose. Wofford - Tulane - GSU is not helping GT. It is hurting. [/QUOTE]
