College football attendance continues to decline

If Lucas Johnson doesn't get much playing time this year, he will be saying "bye" rather than "hi" but I get your overall point. The fact is that Cal vs Tech is not what comes to mind as a "name vs name" out of conference game. Personally, I would much prefer playing Auburn or Tennessee but that is just me.

I think everybody would like home and away vs aubie or Tennessee.

Exactly!!

Although we have played them 5 times since then, most recently in 1978, a Tech - Cal game could be played up on the basis of the famous 1929 Rose Bowl game.

We got our fight song from them, so we do have a connection.

Georgia Tech and Montana share the same song "Up with the White and Gold" and "Up with Montana"

Which came first? I would imagine our version did.

According to Wikipedia Up with Montana was written in 1914 and Up with the White and Gold was written in 1919

Check out this link. It would appear that Cal probably had the original version, but the time of origin of both songs was pretty close. Since the Montana song has very forced meter in the lyrics, I don't put much stock in their claims at all.

I'd like to mix in Auburn or Tennessee or LSU -- no, not every year; maybe one of them -- and look to midwest and east for a game: Michigan or Penn State for example. Easy for me to say it, hard for anybody get it done, but I can dream.

Florida would be a great team to play also

I have both a philosophical and ethical objection to almost anything Florida. What I don't have is a rational objection. But doggone it, it is a sorry state.

I still like the idea of a GT home and home with Florida. Their fans are arseholes but they're not as bad as UGAG fans. Dan Mullen's recruiting at Florida for 2019 hasn't been good and their class so far is ranked 30th. Florida is going to be down for a while to come.

That looks like a great idea

Yeah, I think the Stanford Jonah best explains both White and Gold and Montana. Navy probably got their version thru Montana.

I haven't heard of a Navy version. Do you have a link? It would be interesting to see or hear.

I don't think Anchors Away is anything like Stanford Jonah or White and Gold and Montana
