[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 661996, member: 4289"] The GT fan base is one of the worst in the ACC and probably D1 in general and compared to SEC is absolutely pitiful. The excuses are comical, as if other fan bases don't have jobs, kids, traffic, etc. Then there is the sit on your hands aspect of the GT fan base which is really annoying. Many of the fans that do show up are more likely to get loud to denigrate our own team instead of support them or denigrate the opponent. We are routinely the visiting team on our own field or court, even when our fans outnumber the visiting fans because of the sit on your hands effect. A lot of GT fans at the games are more likely to grumble about another GT fan standing up in front of them than they are to yell TO HELL WITH GEORGIA. It's astonishing. I am no psychologist, but I think it's a personality thing more than anything that goes along with the nerd culture, and I am an engineering/nerd alum myself. Specific to football attendance, Bobby Dodd Stadium has no business seating 55,000. It should have 42,000 seats tops. Playing in a half empty stadium does affect the team on the field, and then when the empty half is filled with visitor fans like it will be for COFH, it's gotta be downright demoralizing for the team on field. Full disclosure... I am an alum and bball season ticket holder who puts 4 butts in seats for every bball home game every year. I only attend a handful of football games through the years (Pitt game this year). [/QUOTE]
