[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 95785, member: 1191"] As a sidewalk fan, I would say you are painting with too broad a brush. A lot of the sidewalk fans I know fall on the far side of the argument. If anything, they probably think GT's academics are TOO difficult. For myself, I went to the US Coast Guard Academy, so I am fully aware of how difficult an academically rigorous school can be, but I am not the exception. Even growing up, I was awed by the academic rigor of GT. Most of us are fully aware of the academic limitations that GT places on itself, and [B]THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE LOVE THE TEAM[/B]. We root for GT [B]BECAUSE [/B]GT refuses to become a factory. We root for GT [B]BECAUSE [/B]GT insists on their student athletes being [B]STUDENTS [/B]above all else. I, for one, would be greatly disappointed and shamed if ever GT abased itself the way UNC has done recently. If nothing else, I think sometimes the GT alumni too easily dismiss the actual intelligence of the sidewalk fans. We're not all college dropouts who couldn't get into GT. I am not saying that this is what you intended, but it's the way it comes across frequently from GT alums. [/QUOTE]
