[QUOTE="JorgeJonas, post: 361117, member: 2171"] You aren’t a victim. Stop acting like one. No one thinks a fan who didn’t attend the school has per se invalid opinions, so don’t hide behind that. If your opinions are wrong - and they are - then amend them or defend them better. And learn to accept criticism. It isn’t always personal. One reason for the tension between graduates and fans is that the graduates know the school is hard as hell, and it’s unforgiving. We also value those things, because when you work hard for something, you tend to place a premium on it. Sidewalk fans are, in my opinion, largely - though not exclusively- interested in the school only to the extent of their sports teams; it’s a similar arrangement to the one I have with the Braves. If they don’t win, I get frustrated. I have a complete understanding of why Tech isn’t on the same level as, say, FSU or Alabama or USC, and I’m fine with that. And since the graduates are the ones making the donations, the school will listen to us. If you want something different, my advice is to work hard, develop a marketable skill, make an *** ton of money, and buy what you want. They will listen then. [/QUOTE]
