[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 741872, member: 4572"] :facepalm: Hyperbole exists, ya know. But I was referring to the “big 3” of college athletics. Which include football, men’s basketball, and baseball. Since 2015, those 3 sports have combined to make 4 postseason appearances (NIT doesn’t count). Baseball is 0-2 in regionals, football is 1-1 in bowl games, and basketball hasn’t made it to the NCAAT in a decade. Those 3 teams are a combined 5-22 vs. UGA since 2015. Softball hasn’t made a regional since 2012, and women’s basketball hasn’t made the NCAAT since 2014. Volleyball also hasn’t made the NCAAT in the last 5 years, and I honesty couldn’t find the last time they made it. All of those stats are what I would consider “terrible” for a P5 team in a talent rich state, in the most populous metro-area in the south. As good as GT golf has been, college golf does nothing to move the needle for the perception of an athletic program. I am a big backer of GT baseball. I understand the challenges they’ve faced the past few years. But they’ve been a very average P5 program since the 2010s started. I’m sure other sports have had successful years that have flew under my radar since my arbitrary cutoff of 2015. But it doesn’t change the fact that GT athletics as a whole have been terrible for the past half decade. Even with all of that said, none of it is relevant to my original point of hoping that the professional Atlanta teams start to co-brand “ATL” with GT if and when GT becomes relevant nationally again, becauseGT hasn’t been relevant in any sport since before 2010, when we were relevant in all of them.
