[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 972028, member: 1555"] Again, your post is full of strawman arguments that no one besides yourself is making (a. & b.). Your point c. is valid with respect to the unexpected loss to BG, but I don't think anyone, even yourself, believes that is a normal expected outcome for future seasons. Your point d. is somewhat valid in principle, but aside from uga when was the last time we got 45-50k fans at BDS? Not happening with 3-5 win seasons. A counter to your attendance $ point is that more wins = more fan engagement and increased attendance for all games. I think you would agree that 3-3-3-5 win seasons over the last four years has contributed to our ticket sales slump, not to mention GTAA donations. What some of us are suggesting is to substitute a lesser program (could still be P5, doesn't need to be Sisters of the Poor) for the slot where we are scheduling the Ole Miss type of games. We already are locked into 8 ACC games plus uga, and Notre Dame every few years, so your comments about scheduling 4 cupcakes ring hollow. We've had one of the toughest schedules in P5 several years running while our peer (and lesser) schools are going to bowls. Your over-the-top reactions that many are suggesting quitting or that we should drop down a league is tiring, disingenuous, and unbecoming of a tech fan as I know you are. [/QUOTE]
