[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 84253, member: 617"] Not sure where this is coming from. 13% of Tech is international. 68% is from the Southeast. I blame a lack of acculturation brought on by leadership either directly out of or invested in a model of engineering schools from certain less awesome states. Watching GT football is not for jocks. GT football is not U[sic]gA football. We do not (or, by God, at least ought not) try to be MIT 6 days a week and Auburn on Saturday. MIT doesn't have a football following because their nerds are too dumb, too cowardly, and too lazy to bring the nerdiness outside of spaces demarcated as 'safe' for the nerds (by the jocks of the world, for lack of a better term). GT brings the nerdiness everywhere. We will not stop until everything is nerdy. We had to drag this state out of the stagnation of plantation agriculture kicking and screaming, and we didn't do that by keeping our slide rules in the mill office when the boss man told us to. The celebration of foolishness and derision for education that the traditional U[sic]gA fan embodies is a pernicious cancer that will roll back the prosperity that Georgia has built if we allow it to fester. We will allow no space to be a refuge. Even in the heart of that place in Athens, we have started to install a kind of student that more resembles the Tech man than the dwag. Soon we shall see the hour of total victory. But until that time, we will not concede even the smallest, most inconsequential thing. Not even collegiate football. Fun story: Starting at the Duke game the IEEE student branch will be hosting a video game tournament tailgate. Since we've been screwed again by the TV planners, it will most likely be a post game event, where persons not showing proof that they were at the game must pay to enter. Depending on several factors (read: money) we'll do some away game watching parties along the same lines. Homecoming has a special event for our hundredth birthday, but we'll do it again for Klempsun. After that, well, I've always felt the basketball (especially women's) games need some stiffened attendance. You say the battle for the soul of the Tech student is lost. I say we have not yet begun to fight. [/QUOTE]
