[QUOTE="DH9387, post: 343229, member: 547"] You make a great point about sidewalk fans. There seems to be this misconception among Tech fans that we are this tiny school in the middle of a sea of massive land-grant universities when in fact we are pretty much on par with our regional neighbors. Just a random sampling: GT: [B]26,839 [/B](2016) ugag: 36,130 (2015) Clemson: [B]23,406[/B] (2016) Auburn: 28,290 (2016) Alabama: 38, 563 (?) Tennessee: 28,052 (2016) South Carolina: 34,618 (?) North Carolina: 29,469 (2016) Virginia: [B]22,391[/B] (?) Virginia Tech: 31,090 (?) Mississippi: [B]24,250 [/B](2016) Mississippi State: [B]21,884 [/B](?) Louisville: [B]22,640 [/B](2016) I am aware that our enrollment has really grown in the last 10-20 years and that we still need to account for total living alumni, but it really looks like our alumni and students do a pretty darn good job showing up for the games and that the missing link is all the sidewalk fans that we spent the better part of 40 years alienating and just recently seemed to realize that we need to embrace them to grow the fan base.
