[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 71227, member: 844"] Interesting post. I agree with you for the most part. Let's look at it differently though as it speaks to one of the issues I have with our AA....marketing. If some Ga. fans believe they are overtaking us in academics, does it really matter what you and I think? Not really. Perception is reality in the marketing world.Somehow or another the powers that be in Athens has created the perception (whether it is true or not really doesn't matter in the postmodern world). Now, do you ever see a GT fan or fans claiming the opposite...i.e. that GT is overtaking Uga as the dominant athletic power in the state? No you don't. You may see some posts about our golf team and recent wins in basketball and baseball and whatever and people qualifying things with statements like we really do well overall against Uga relatively speaking given our limited curriculum and such. We don't market ourselves well enough to overcome the pessimistic nature that you talk about (and which I happen to believe is true fwiw). [/QUOTE]
