[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 22436, member: 923"] Mack. I agree, the only thing that will persuade the Hill is money or lack thereof. There are only two ways to do this; the money boosters must put pressure on the Hill, and the fans will quit attending the games if these poor showings continue. Both of these actions places the burden squarely on the Hill. Do they want to drop football or try to advance football at Tech. We know for a fact that the money decides most of the decisions. Many of our better wealthy boosters are gone; I don't know how many are left. We know many like Kim King, have contributed to the building funds for Tech's academics as well as sports. Kim and others like him have passed on. Without their donations and the donations of Coca Cola in Atlanta, Tech would not have been able to foot many of their bills. The first part, wealthy boosters must get together and exert pressure. The second part will come naturally, the drop in attendance. I have vowed to never attend another Tech game until the Hill changes our coach. My son and I had season tickets this year. Of course, had it not been for him wanting to have some quality weekends with his dad, I would not have attended as my wife hates sports. I have a son-in-law who is a devout Auburn fan. I can no longer attend a Tech game and enjoy the pitiful coaching; I come away mad and frustrated. Since my son is not a true football fan as I, he is willing for me, him, and my son-in-law to attend some of the Auburn games this coming year. I can attend these games without getting mad and frustrated and wasting money to make me mad. I will enjoy the football season much better next year because I am basically detaching myself from Tech football until we get a new coach who is willing to play a fun type of football where it is not known every play that the offense is going to make. I saw a question from a Tech fan, "Who could we get to do better than PJ"? Well I have a four year old nephew who could probably do better. Yes, I know some of the mesmerized fans on the board will tell me they are better off without me, but there are many like me who will stop attending the Tech games until things change. I will state this last caveat; I have been a fan of GT football for approximate 68 years. I doubt you will find many fans who have been this loyal over those years as a fan of GT, and I did not even go to school at GT. Since I do not have the money to contribute to advancing football at Tech, my only action to help change the situation is making my position known on boards such as these. Also, I do like to talk sports in general as that has been part of my life since I was a kid. [/QUOTE]
