[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 27577, member: 923"] My expectations from following Tech football. I started when Dodd became Head Coach. We were in the top-ten most years, won 31 games straight without a loss, and beat UGA 8 years in a row (at one time, we had the won-lost lead over UGA). Tech was A perennial winner in the bowls and led the nation in percentage of bowls won, followed closely by Penn State. Yes, Dodd had a few mediocre years, but would change his offense to suit his material and bring Tech back to its standard in the following years. I am definitely a poor loser, I do not like losing. During that era, the stadium would be sell-outs and a good proportion of fans in attendance were the ones now called "Sidewalk Fans. Many of them are like me, except those who have already deceased, they do not like losing and are not accustomed to losing. Since the first three coaches (Heisman, Alexander, and Dodd) were all winners and Tech was one of the schools to set the standard for winning, we cannot take losing easily. Most of us did not go to College, and most of us had a hard time making a living in those days. Money was not as free as it is today. So, most of my kind will not waste the little money we have to attend the games to watch Tech lose. Therefore, you will find a good portion of us still living (some of us have been fans longer than some of you have been living) who are quite upset at the losing ways of Tech. Therefore, don't expect the sidewalk fans, and some of the alumni to attend games where the performance of the team is unnacceptable. I placed this here, because some of the other posters were stating their reasons for not expecting too much because there school years were not very successful school years for the football team.
