[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 714586, member: 4572"] I understand your points, but I’m still very much on the fence about whether or not this will move the needle at all for Tech. Are the exponentially more opportunities for branding in Atlanta than Athens, Clemson, Auburn, Chapel Hill, etc.? Yes. But Tech still doesn’t control the Atlanta market. What would stop somebody like Cypress or Antico’s from throwing up a sign with a Ugag player that says something like, “Deandre Swift and the Dawgs love Cypress when they visit the ATL.” McAfee makes good points about all the large corporations headquartered in Atlanta, but if Tech doesn’t have marketable players, there’s no reason for them to use Tech players in any sort of marketing. Even a huge Tech supporter like Waffle House would more than likely choose to market players from other schools, especially OTP. If this is going to work in our favor, we desperately need some of these young guys to blossom into stars and turn Tech into a winner. Then guys like the 3 headed monster in the backfield, Simms, Gleason, Brown, Ezzard, Carpenter, and hell even Harvin will become much more marketable. [/QUOTE]
