[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 22075, member: 923"] Peer pressure is very strong, especially among the young. Most all youth want to be liked and to fit in. Since UGA is winning more than Tech, they want to be on the winners side, even though it does not make them any better of a person. It is really both ridiculous and hilarious that many Tech students and fans think they are better than UGA students and fans. The same applies to the UGA students and fans. Actually, the school you attend or root for as a fan has nothing to do with a person's esteem or ranking in life. All of this is determined by a person's values and reliability. It gets even more hilarious because there are fans of Tech and UGA in the same families. I guess they are supposed to better or lesser because their team wins or loses. However, it is true that most non-students choose to be a fan of the school which wins the most games because they think they are also winners. Personally, I could have just as easily become a fan of UGA if I had started following football when Vince Dooley started coaching at Georgia, and if I had not already become a fan because of following Bobby Dodd's teams first. I was more a fan of the coaching of Bobby Dodd than I was of Tech in particular. The excellent coaching of Dodd hooked me into the fan club of Tech football. Then I started following basketball at Tech when Nick Hyder was coach. He was not a great coach, but he did do well and had some great players, so I became hooked as a basketball fan. Again, had I not first become a fan of Tech, I could have easily become a fan following the coaching of Dooley. In today's time, I would have chosen to be a fan of UGA because of Reverend Richt. I actually like him better than I like Paul Johnson. However, since I have already become a fan of Tech in the mid-forties, it is hard for a leopard to change its spots, although I think about it often. One thing is for sure, I will not spend good money to watch poor performances. I think attendance will begin to taper off drastically if the ship is not righted in the near future. [/QUOTE]
