[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 327896, member: 990"I had a local radio guy tell me the quickest way to sports radio bankruptcy in Atlanta was to be seen to favor Tech football over UGA. The mutts don't care about hoops so the stations see it as safe to get behind Tech b-ball.[/QUOTE]
A few years ago I overheard a guy in a bar say he was a Georgia fan. I said "Georgia's basketball team isn't looking too good this year.' I could have predicted the response. He said, "I just follow the football team."' I responded, "Then you aren't really a Georgia fan, are you?" He just walked off.
Most of those people care nothing about the University of Georgia. They are Georgia football fans, and nothing more. Most GT fans care about the Institute and all that it stands for. There is a huge gap in the perspective between the 2 fan bases.
I remember sitting near a guy at a Georgia-Florida game many years ago who turned out to be a Tech grad. He was pulling for Georgia. That was particularly disgusting. I was courteous to him until I found out he was a Tech grad. An enemy is one thing; a traitor is another.
