[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 696521, member: 4572"] Lmaooo. That’s what we’re going with now. Get out your tin foil hats. Holy sh*t. There’s no pleasing some of you people. Trading in a noon Saturday game on ACCN for a prime time game on ESPN sure does sound like a positive change to me. Of course there are some cons that come along with it, but at worst they’re a wash compared to the potential gain Tech will get out of this game. [INDENT]Negatives [LIST] [*]Loss of gameday atmosphere for recruits [*]Possible attendance drop (marginal at most) [*]Piss of a small portion of fans who were going to be pissed off regardless [*]Interfere with high school games (non issue to me) [*]Listen to a few back handed comments from local fan bases [/LIST] Positives [LIST] [*]Prime time game at Bobby Dodd [*]Hundreds of thousands of more TV viewers [*]Nationally televised [*]National talking point [*]Greater opportunity to expose the brand of GT football [/LIST][/INDENT] You may think exposure isn’t a big deal, but would anybody outside of Tech fans remember the 2015 FSU game if it was a noon game? Would the atmosphere be the same? Doubt it. It would just be a footnote on the season. Just like our wins over UGA that have occurred at noon. Anybody remember Illinois upset over Wisconsin this year? What about USCe over uGA? Those games would absolutely be bigger deals had they been prime time games.
