[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 920546, member: 1191"] Sidewalk fans are very rarely interested in the academics of the school they are rooting for, but rather the athletics. People become fans of teams that they see. In the early days of football, you might cheer for the hometown team, even if you never had a chance of getting in. Notre Dame had a truly national draw because it was the Premier Catholic University, and the big state schools presence on radio and tv drew in fans. GT thrived during this time because of good leadership and coaching. Since the college sports TV boom, the factories have been able to leverage their inherent advantages to out-recruit the second tier schools like GT. This leads to more uga merchandise in the store, more uga articles in the news, etc. GT is a nonstarter for most casual fans because no one outside of ATL covers them. The only coverage they have on the Augusta Chronicle website this season is when they played uga. Nothing outside of consistent winning will likely fix that. [/QUOTE]
