[QUOTE="SwarmingRound, post: 821518, member: 5870"] I was at the game Saturday. I enjoyed the experience because I was with friends, but the game itself was disappointing. I've been convinced for many years that there is a conspiracy to keep GT athletics at bay, and ensure mediocrity. This way the academics stay front and center, and no ignorant Northeastern or left-coasters say things like "those Southern idiots only know how to play football." I don't mind this conspiracy, because my work keeps me well paid, and my degrees from GT have opened many doors. That being said, it's a shame that this conspiracy is in place, because it would be nice to win some games. The first order of business, if there were a conspiracy like this, would be to ensure that someone in a very high position, say, Athletic Director, is so poor at judging talent that he'd be fooled by the likes of a "rah rah" hype guy, much in the same way that Arthur Blank was bamboozled by Dan Quinn. Geoff Collins is a rah rah guy, and just look at Josh Pastner -- need we say more? Pastner's lucky ACC tourney win (they eeked out two victories by five points each, avoiding a matchup with Virginia due to a Covid cancellation) will ensure he stays the coach for at least another two years, despite the fact that he will never lead GT basketball to a final four. It's the same for Collins. Humans tend to be short-term, first-order thinkers, and want immediate satisfaction. You hope we beat KSU this Saturday. I hope, [B]because I love all things Georgia Tech[/B], that we lose every game, because, to put it bluntly, Collins a'int the guy. Imagine this: "Georgia Tech wins the ACC championship, beating Clemson... let's talk to head coach... Geoff Collins." Can you imagine it? I have a vivid imagination, but I can't. You're telling me that Collins will lead us to an ACC championship? How about a Natty? I know...it's ridiculous to even fathom, isn't it? [U]If you love the Ramblin' Wreck[/U], you should want a winning coach to be at the helm. It's not Collins. But hey, as he said in his postgame presser, he made sure his players know that he appreciates them and loves them. Cool. I'm all for it. But they should first know how to play football, and they aren't learning how to improve their game from this group of coaches. [/QUOTE]
