[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 528061, member: 1451"] I’ve actually seen Bud and wife mingling through tailgates (in and around Peters parking deck) multiple times in 2016 and 2017. (2018 doesn’t count—I missed most of the season due to health issues.) He also passed through our railcar during our AA trip from Chicago to Southbend, in 2015. And by “passed through”, I really mean “spent about 30 minutes talking to alumni about football, and his experiences as a college FB player”. He also stopped to talk with me for a few minutes about academics at one tailgate, when he realized I was faculty. (For those of you about to object to PBP’s over-emphasis on academics, ADTS has also stopped to talk with me about academics when he realized I was faculty—twice.) I’m not going to canonize the man, but neither will I demonize him. Overall, as to his impact on [B]GT[/B] [B]athletics[/B], I think he’s been a modest positive. He gets that the AA makes Georgia Tech better, but at the same time, he understands that his job is 90% about the academic side of the equation. (My opinions about how well he’s done on the academic side is a separate issue, and none of y’all’s bidness.) [/QUOTE]
