[QUOTE="boger2337, post: 775017, member: 4089"] We discussed this issue in another thread like a year or 2 ago. You're right. Even with the GT class sizes growing, we are not replacing the "old classes" with high dollar donations to the Football program or GTAA. There is an extreme lull from the mid 90s to the late 2010's where the majority of your students were not interested in football. Not to the degree that a clemson, uga, bama, tennessee student may be. We do have a different breed of student. They are usually more academically focused, and the whole party till 5 am, binge drinking during game day is not in their weekly lineup. Most grads of the schools I listed above riminess of the drunken weekends on campus. Their highlights were those huge parties and sleeping around and all. Some GT students have those same shared memories, but not to the degree of those schools. To me those schools hold a "closer place to their heart" to their students due to the more laid back student body. What we don't see going on behind the scenes is Collins has slowly tried to change the attitude of the school as a whole. He is trying to make it more energized in the sense of game day. I am sure if he could find a way to create GTs version of The Grove he would. The more drunken loud students the better. Simply because if it doesn't pay in yelling and screaming for the Yellow Jackets today, it will hopefully pay down the road when they miss their :glory days" and wish they could go back to school to be with their friends and party. [B]I asked about 20 co workers about their favorite part of their college career. Here are the 4 responses I received. I list the reasons, how many responded, to that general reason, and which schools they attended. If multiple schools said the same thing multiple times then there is a number to show how many equal responses from that same school. The friendships, and first time freedoms (6) - Auburn(2), Florida A&M, Alabama, Kennesaw State, Ga State. The parties, the women, the fun of not caring what happened next (5) - Florida, uga(2), Miss State, Kennesaw State. Playing their sport for their school (4)- uga, GA State, UTC, Toledo. Leaving, graduating, I got out.
