[QUOTE="GPD, post: 95768, member: 1554"] You make an interesting point AE87... Many of our sidewalk fans are "legacies" from family members or some other natural connection with Tech, but many are just attracted to our style of play, or support Tech because it's a local, home state team, or they are simply answering the Institute's call to "Come buy season tickets and become a Tech fan". This is where your point becomes even stronger... our marketing message isn't "Buy Season Football tickets so you can relish in the academic rigors of GT" hahaha We market ourselves as big time college football which is exactly what we are... I'm sure sidewalk fans have a degree of pride that their chosen team has a good academic reputation.. but they bought season football tickets for big time football, not front row seating for the National Spelling Bee... they do not want to hear about academic rigors on Saturday...they want to hear about what they paid for...high level, competitive football. There seems to be an increased realization of that reality with regards to recruiting... I am highly supportive of the increased support coming from the administration towards our football program... seems to be paying off already. [/QUOTE]
