[QUOTE="crut, post: 489447, member: 3240"] Didn't post on this site. Here you go: I was at the event last night. It was called Young Alumni Night with Todd Stansbury. Here is a synopsis: The event was at Second Self Brewery on the Westside. For $18 ($14 for season ticket holders) you got unlimited tacos from a food truck and beer from inside. It was cold as balls. Wiley Ballard came up and MCed for a moment, introducing an assistant women's bball and baseball coach. Then he introduced Stansbury who came up and talked for 10 mins about how he wanted to make Georgia Tech cool, not settling for mediocrity, being Tech and not trying to beat Clemson (in football) by being Clemson, and that we need to use all our assets to our advantage. Mainly stuff that has been posted on here previously as his talking points. He did play to the audience calling the Young Alumni "the future". He then stated that everyone that came (probably about 100 people or so) would all get 2 free tickets to the men's bball game vs. East Carolina and 2 for the women's bball game against uga. He also said this would be the first of many Young Alumni events like this, and that the GT network is the best in the world, so get to know the people around you. Everyone then went back to drinking and chatting, and Stansbury went around from group to group. I think the Young Alumni base is one with A LOTTT of ideas and opinons but is a group that isn't heard much because they dont provide the $$$. I could tell he was getting pitched a lot of things in other conversations, and that was for sure the case when my group spoke with him. I was pretty happy with how in touch he was with the realities of the school and our competitors. He revealed a couple cool plans coming up that sound like some great brand name PR boosts! He also told a great story of him driving out to the Final 4 in 1990 that made him more relatable, not to mention sounding like a good time in college! The only thing he seemed to be out of touch with was the gold issue. He weirdly seemed to think that it's only the older alumni that want more gold, yet he was standing in the middle of a group of 8 mid 20s alums who all of us, one of our priorities in talking to him was: "Where is the gold at!? We want more gold!" Anyway, I think the event went really well and it was a good time. It was cool of Stansbury to take the time to meet with all of us and make more of a personal relationship with this part of the fan base and hopefully that engagement pays off. [/QUOTE]
