[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 883318, member: 2957"] One of my friends here is the Fox Sports programming lead who has an office at the Auburn Athletic complex. I asked him what he thought and he just shook his head. GT is one of many schools who are used for programming content. It really doesn't matter if we win, lose or have anyone in the stands. They are furnishing a product that their subscribers can sell local advertising against. That's it. I think we have largely walked away from our history. Talk to almost anyone outside of the South and GT is treated about the same as Holy Cross. When I was younger (much younger), West Georgia was still fertile recruiting land for Tech. The Auburn Wreck Tech parade was huge, as was the rivalry with Alabama. We have largely turned away from all of that. We have been "going national" and one outcome is that we have almost no base to call our own. We aren't number one in Georgia, number one in Atlanta, number one in the South ... I'm hopeful for the new staff. But I'm still looking for evidence that we have a plan to compete in this environment. It must be very challenging for AD's everywhere. [/QUOTE]
