[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 799149, member: 4334"] Exactly. This has been a theme of mine regarding GT for decades. It takes consistent winning to turn into a name brand. Look at the way Boise became a brand. GT has had several opportunities to make huge inroads and at every opportunity GT failed. Sitting in the Meadowlands prior to kick off I remember thinking about how this was the college football world opening the door for GT to get back after decades of falling off the map. That was an opportunity and the door was closed by halftime. Then we beat them 3 in a row and have a Heisman contender. Then we fall off again. Here‘s the deal. Collins has a chance to get us back because of circumstances. Fans in this state are yearning for a viable alternative to the constant disappointment, bad behavior, and under performance from that other team. The shine is off that coach even with the top 4 recruiting. I’ve had long time fans of that team start verbalizing what we’ve all known. Their frustration level will reach a tipping point after another top recruiting class leads to even more disappointment. With USC and UT making very solid hires their playground in the east is becoming a tougher road. If Collins can lead GT from little brother status to a tough out I believe the fans of this state will see it and follow it. GT hasn’t been a viable alternative so there’s a reason a large portion of Georgians pull for Auburn, Bama, and others. I don’t blame them at all. Give them a legit alternative and Georgians would love to pull for GT. We are the underdog and folks love that. Think about 3 years from now when the team up 316 is still looking for their next savior QB and that coach is having to explain why top 4 recruiting classes aren’t getting it done, while GT is starting to take over the Coastal. Now, all of that goes away if they get a Natty. If so, just prepare to move. [/QUOTE]
