[QUOTE="decatur jacket, post: 210577, member: 977"] I am apparently one of the few (maybe the only one) that actually agreed with Braine on this. We are never going to be the team that gets 8-10 4 stars every year and wins 9-10 games consistently. No amount of "just recruiting better" is ever going to change it. We have a limited curriculum and it is HARD. We can go out and recruit every 4 and 5 star player in the southeast and [I]maybe[/I] 20% of them could qualify to get into Tech and only half of those could actually cut it in the classroom. The recruits we are going after, due to APR requirements and The Hill, can get into just about ANY college in the US. Why would they choose Tech over any other school is beyond me. (Why I chose Tech is beyond me as well, but I am DAMN GLAD that I did.) And I feel that for the most part, the guys that choose us, are damn glad they did too, but Tech isn't for everyone. Suggesting that "recruiting better" is the answer is assuming that Tech is just like every other college in America. I cannot believe that we are trying to compare getting better recruits to our ability to build a top notch B-school. Seriously. I hate to break it to some of you, but Ma Tech isn't in business to field a football team. Nor should it be. I love college football. I love cheering for the Jackets. I HATE it when we lose. I expect us to win every game every year. We don't and we won't. And I am not always good with that. To sit here and say Dabo/Saban/whoever would be "recruiting better" ignores all other external factors. If you don't like those external factors (some of which make Tech such a special place), maybe you should pick Bama or Clemson or FSU or hell, Stanford and start cheering for them. I am going to cheer for my Jackets every Saturday in the fall win or lose. I am going to be elated when we win and angry when we lose and I will be that way until my time here is up. #THWG [/QUOTE]
