[QUOTE="laoh, post: 502274, member: 1783"] Milwaukee, are you just trying to piss off all the alums here speaking like a know it all? It seems like you have a chip on your shoulder b/c you didn't attend Tech and I'm not sure who can help you with that than yourself. You can say anything you want like you know it but the thing is, it's simply not true. You may have taken calc at Jacksonville State and may have passed with flying colors but that doesn't mean you can just automatically apply your experience to the actual experience of what a Tech student goes through. When the emag prof walks into the lecture hall and announces that the class average of the test that we took the other day is a 42... then to the shock and horror of everyone in the room, proceeds to say that he's not gonna curve it b/c he's got tenure and he doesn't give a **** even if half the class failed... when you've been put through that, then we'll talk. When you meet a transfer student from GSU (and no knock on GSU) taking CS1501 and he has to retake intro to CS again and he tells you that what they covered at GSU in an entire qtr is what we covered in a week at Tech... When the graduation percent is really 60-something percent... not because kids are dumb but Tech is really that unforgiving... unless you adjust as a freshman, drop all your bad habits, and study like crazy, you're not making it to sophomore year at Tech. The kids that were in all the AP classes in high school and were considered as one of the "smart" kids in high school... all the sudden, you're a nobody and feel dumb b/c so many kids are smarter than you. You may have a near 4.0 in high school... first qtr, you get a 2.1. That was me and I had to claw my way out of the huge hole I dug during my freshman year for the 4 years that followed. When I actually pulled out a B in emag, that was among my proudest moments of my student career. And btw, at MIT, they gave out pass/fail to freshmen, not the standard A-F grades (they have since changed that it appears). Sidewalk fans are of course welcomed and appreciated and this forum should be open to anyone that likes rooting for Tech football. Tech sure needs it since by default, if you're born in the state of Georgia, you're automatically become those idiot fans that walk the streets of Atlanta on a conference championship Saturday barking like animals (I live in Midtown and it actually happened, though last year, not this year). And c'mon bro, plenty of alums know football here... some are casual fans, some can do a dissertation on the Xs and Os. I know of at least one alum here personally that fall in the latter camp. Finally, since we're talking about how easy Tech is, I'll leave on this note. Here's the lyrics to our alma mater (alternate version): Oh Shafts of Tech arise behold The falling of my GPA; From 3.6 to 2.4, I got a 1.5 today. The shaft I got in calculus, The ream I got in physics, My P-Chem prof is such a whore, That I wish that she would finally die. I'm signing off the shaft list.... Gonna try my luck at uga. [/QUOTE]
