[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 428878, member: 990"] I have had more than one UGA fan tell me they pull for the Dwags because they are from the State of Georgia not the State of Georgia Tech. The honest truth is that UGA is seen as the natural team for a sidewalk fan in this state. Tech is a niche program that attracts support primarily and overwhelmingly from alums and those with an immediate family connection. Because of several factors this is unlikely to ever change in the foreseeable future. Because of its much larger size and more diverse curriculum, UGA has a firm hold on the media and political machine in Georgia. It has a much larger fanbase that demands coverage and adulation and backs that up with tons and tons of money. This large fan base continues to grow whether they are 7-5 or 12-0. It would take a 10-20 year run of unprecedented success by Tech athletics combined with an unprecedented 10-20 year drought of success by the UGA program to make a dent in this. It ain't ever gonna happen. Around the time Dodd left and Dooley showed up, a war for hearts and minds of the college football fans began in this state. Tech lost. We just don't realize we are dead yet. [/QUOTE]
