Future Opponents: Bama and Ga State

[MostDefinitely]

I like it. Kinda sucks the bama games are 10 years from now though.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

So the triple option leaves and bama jumps back on our schedule.

I think Alabama will wind up backing out once again

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

The mush mouth Canuck strikes again.

The biggest fight will be who gets to wear blue jersies.

His egoness bill curry will be honorary captain for both teams.

And why are we worrying about losing to ga state? Never makes any sense to me. Do we worry year in and year out about losing ALL our games? No. It's just pathetic to go into a game worrying about losing. That, ladies and gentlemen, is called a losers mentality. There is alot of it floating around here.

We FANatics should go into each game, regardless or who or where it is played, with the mindset that we will win. Seemed to work well for Bowden, Schnellenberger and others. I'm not comparing Collins to those guys in all aspects, but the one thing that is the same is the "show no fear" mentality.

Will be nice to visit Turner Field again

Why a home and home with Georgia State??? Only raises their profile and hurts us. Strongly disagree with this

 

[TooTall]

I went in 2018, $25 bucks per seat no matter where you sit at.

This. I'll be a whole lot less excited if this turns into a neutral site at MBS and then we still have to go to Tuscaloosa.

Playing at GSU? Bush league. Why? Charity? Dumb.

I agree. Scheduling a home and away with Ga. State is a fireable offense.

I'm not worried about losing to them. Why legitimize them at all?

How are we claiming to be Atlanta’s team if we play Georgia State and essentially put them on our level? They’re already marketing it as midtown vs downtown. This could blow up in GTs face

 

[TaxJacket]

Dear Lord, some of yall worry way too much.... If we're worrying about beating GA St. in 4 years we have much bigger problems

So you believe we will lose? WTF. We are going to pound them and let the world know Georgia F...ing Tech is not only ATL's team, but Georgia's team.

I agree with this. Why help Ga. State build their program with our fans. Their football stadium is the bastard child of a baseball stadium and holds 24,000 for football. Why didn't we do home and home with Georgia Southern? There it is, I've made up my mind, Todd Stansbury is a goober.

 

[JacketOff]

Why are you guys so worried about playing GSU “on the road”? Not only does Tech save money by not having to pay some out of state school to come play, it also generates a little bit of excitement for a G5 game that would normally be chalked up as an auto-win. If Tech is legitimately worried about losing to GSU in 5 years, there will be way more important things to worry about. I’m glad Tech isn’t giving them a 2 for 1. There’s no need to play a OOC game against a set G5 team for 3 years. I also don’t mind the “road” game because The Ted still has a pretty large capacity and it gives Tech fans an opportunity to “take over” another team’s stadium for the first time in who knows how long. If Tech is going to play a G5 team every year, I’d rather it be State or Southern than Arkansas State or South Alabama.

 

[TooTall]

Once more, WHO CARES WHERE OR WHO WE PLAY, JUST POUND THEIR FACE AND MAKE THEIR STADIUM OUR OWN!!!!! Low cost game for our athletic department that is hurting financially. 24,000 seat stadium filled with 22,500 GT fans. GT massive win. I don't see any problem.

 

[augustabuzz]

Ga State will literally be a home and home. Sweet.

Except that State collects the money for each ticket sold.

 

[WreckinGT]

I kind of agree, but it appears that UNC and Vandy have also scheduled home and homes against them. Not quite sure how they are getting power 5 opponents to do this.

How exactly does playing Georgia State hurt us?

 

[TooTall]

Your point? So does every other team we play on the road. But, unlike other road games, our overhead is greatly reduced.

Gives their program oxygen, press coverage, fan support, recruiting attention. All of which we struggle getting already. Legitimizes their program at our expense.
