[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 631755, member: 4334"] You’ve only touched on part of it. It doesn’t start with the fans. It starts with the school. GT fans are outnumbered because there simply aren’t enough of us because the school doesn’t care about creating fans. All GT has to do is up admissions for in state students and the stadium will fill up over the next 20 years. Instead, GT craps on GT families and in state students and then the few of us wonder why our numbers aren’t growing. Sidewalk fans are great but you build your base with local alumni. This summer I brought my kids (high school juniors who wear GT gear every day) on official tours of GT and UGA on back to back days. The tours weren’t even comparable. GT’s group tour was so far below UGAs that it was hard for me to handle. I fully understand that academics trump athletics at GT and I concur. But, quite honestly, GT doesn’t have to go out of state to find quality applicants. They do it because it sounds good. Our high school had one graduate go to GT last year. 10 went to UGA. It’s obvious why these threads appear every few months. [/QUOTE]
