[QUOTE="DC Bee, post: 176894, member: 1856"] First of all, the premise of the thread started off very negative, but I've come to expect that from the OP. Then something has occurred to me while reading this thread that we all need to accept. We've upset many, many, many favored and/or ranked teams over the years even when unranked. We've won the ACC Coastal division 4 times within the last 10 years. We've won the ACC Conference title within the last 6 years. We been to a bowl every year for the last 18 years, winning a few, but not as often as we once did. We've been to the Orange Bowl twice within the last 6 years. We won the Orange Bowl last year. We won a NC within the last 25 years. We've won 4 football National Championships. What has all that gotten us in regards to national perception? Not what we want and quite frankly, we never will get it. Oh sure, they'll talk about us for a while, say we have a great program, blah, blah, blah. We could win the NC this year and they'll talk about how great we are in the moment. Guess what will happen next year? We'll think they don't talk about GT enough, and perhaps we'll be right. We are just a small technical institute in SEC country. We are not a giant state university. We are not in the SEC, B1G, or PAC12. We can't get enough eyes on our program for long enough of a time to compete with the attention the other schools and their fans demand. Look at all the attention Michigan is getting in a down/rebuilding year. Look at OSU, Notre Dame, Penn State, or any SEC school in down years. Man, those programs float right back up to the top in a hurry even if only based upon potential. We don't get that benefit of the doubt. Accept what it is. Be loud and proud about what we've got, what we are, and what we are not. Just win, Jackets! To Hell with Rudy! [/QUOTE]
