[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 425474, member: 435"] I don't organize the tailgating group of which I am a part. Someone closer to Atlanta (but still an hour away) does. It is not a question of what is IMPORTANT to them; they go out of their way to provide food and drink for whoever shows up, whether those others bring anything or not. So YES, IT IS IMPORTANT to them. But something that you apparently refuse to accept is that it is not an ideal situation for them, or for any of us who have to travel an hour or more to get there. Is it important to mutt fans, and do they buy any s**t that Walmart puts on the shelf, and pay outrageous amounts of money for tickets to games? Yes, I guess it is, but in my book, that just indicates how stupid they are. I neither admire nor envy them for the support they, and other factory schools get. I would venture to say the majority of those buying all that s**t from Walmart have never even been to a game, and the ones I know sure as hell didn't go to school there, or anywhere else. Would I like to see BDS packed with Tech fans every game? Would I like to see more Tech gear on the streets and byways in the state? Of course I would, but I would also like to think that they would be half-way intelligent and football savvy, which few mutt fans are. And as much as I love Tech, I would hate to think that any, other than the very rich, would make the sacrifices required, when that money could go to more important things than a house full of junk and a closet full of gear or scalper-priced tickets. Winning consistently will pull in more fans and garner more attention and support, and especially a few more wins over the mutts. But as Gold1 has posted several times, we are not going to pull in more fans and fill more seats at games and ultimately sell more Tech stuff by having so many nooners. Obviously there is very little the Tech AA, nor certainly we fans, can do about that, but the FACT is that nooners have a very negative effect on both attendance and support. [/QUOTE]
