[QUOTE="Techster, post: 588699, member: 360"] I always felt GT was kind of an anomaly: football school that was also very good at basketball in a very good basketball conference. Obviously we won the National Championship in 1990, but for a while we had the 2nd longest bowl streak in the nation until it was broken in 2015. From mid 90's until 2015 GT was a regular in the post season. 'Bama couldn't even say that during that time. We also won the conference multiple times during those years, or played for the conference championship. Multiple division championships as well. On the basketball side, we had the Final Four in 1990 and Finals in 2004. Cremins also had 9 straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 1986-1993. Paul Hewitt came in and took us to the tourney 5 of his 11 years with the Finals appearance in 2004. Slew of NBA first rounders that littered the NBA rosters. Basketball has been a wasteland for pretty much a decade now. There are kids going to high school now that probably don't even remember GT in an NCAA tournament. In football, GT probably still gets tagged with the "triple option" label by a lot of kids. Both programs are transitioning right now. Pastner's job is definitely a tougher road than Collins's as football has had more recent success. [/QUOTE]
