Not so much of a problem. David was a child when he took on Goliath.It might more accurately be young child of David vs adult in his prime Goliath.
Very useful post, btw.

The real tragedy of that is playing out at every level of American life, from the courthouse to the White House. A result has been that it is not what we don't know that kills us, but so much of what we "know" is dead wrong, made up partisan drivel and profanity laden social media. (Sometimes I think those "blogs: were created so the writer could use all those four letter words he found on bathroom walls.) As a result we are moving from one of the most literate countries to an illiterate but loud uncivil society.I teach college and always ask “How many of you read a newspaper?”
Zero.
I suspect but don't know obviously that every year the University of Georgia has more graduates, probably many more graduates, moving to Atlanta for employment, and those numbers exponentially dwarf Georgia Tech's, who may scatter over the entire country for technical skill employment. With that as the primary metric it is a losing battle for coverage. It doesn't mean the papers are biased, or even care frankly. It is a great fallacy that somewhere in the newspaper's bowels a small cadre of evil men conspire against Tech. They know their market, and they pitch to it. Wouldn't you?
I try to be a good Catholic, but am woefully uneducated in my faith.Not so much of a problem. David was a child when he took on Goliath.

TrueIf GT had blitzed the ACC and won 2 of 3 national championships and been the only one to knock down mighty Bama regularly then they would have more coverage in Georgia than UGA, no question. Winning - and only winning - cures everything.
Well... The comment regarding winning, etc. was and still is true.Thank you for your valuable contribution. We will take that under advisement.

Winning will do that...True, but winning carries a lot of weight, too. Look at basketball. Duke has half the enrollment and alumni base as UNC, but they still get pretty good coverage.

Don't have to act like a jerk about the comment just because they happen to be a UGa fan.Yeah, what an incredibly insightful message. I wish we would’ve known earlier that winning was important. Glad he came here to clue us in.

It might be said the biblical tale is one of the first renditions of deception out of the option. The other option being to run away.Not so much of a problem. David was a child when he took on Goliath.
