thanks cpj and the rest of you who make this happen`

[JanKemp]

this is one a them posts i wish i could give a huge 'dislike'.

sorry but your view and saying you respect gt are 180 degrees opposite one another and the defense of your argument make NO sense. the HILL RESPECTS GT AND THE WAY IT HANDLES EDUCATION. that the staff has us where we are tells me that they respect gt and the education. most fans get this and make allowances. you dont.

i agree with the other posters. if winning is more important than anything else than you SHOULD consider rooting for the dwags.

what i find really odd is even your avatar is diametrically opposed to your true view point. it may serve you better to put one a them red circles with a slash through jankemp because you seem to have the same DISDAIN for her that many dwags do.

Wow you're intimidating lol, I'm glad I'm not competing with you, you've got a loser mentality

I respect GT for the academics, but I'm a fan of GT cause my father raised me up that way! But not sure if you're aware of this in your bubble over there, but most people , especially kids that actually love sports, don't say to themselves one day, "hey I think I'll root for a team because they have terrific academic standards, or I'd like to join that bandwagon cause they graduate all their athletes."
You're delusional, We do academics 100 percent at gt, if we're gonna do athletics we should do it 100 percent

There is a difference between committing 100% to something and getting 100% back in results.

Devolving to personal attacks isn't a good look.

People become fans because the identify with the team at some level. Tech’s history, nc’s, traditions, and yes - academics, are important to some but not others.

In a lot of cases, especially non-alumni, it comes down to values.

I think I speak for the majority when I say you should probably move on. Signed up to vent after the UVA game, and vent you did.

Enough with the name calling ****.

 

[presjacket]

Are you guys serious? You think that wanting to go out and win every game is awful, and I should cheer for another program because of it? That's insane. Are yall not competitive at all?
I respect the GT way and an education is one of the most important things in a person's life, but we shouldn't compete in sports period if we're not gonna give it 100percent, and the stuff I've suggested to make us more competitive wouldn't in no way tarnish the reputation of the school or a degree!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate ugag , but if wanting your team to excel and win titles, and compete with the big brother in your state is what you're accusing me of then yes I'm guilty as charged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does it not bother you guys at all to get ribbed year in and year out by these rednecks about beating us?? If you're ok with it, I'd check your manhood!

I'm beginning to think that you really aren't Jan Kemp.

Where does one find this data? I need to show my dwag bro' this stuff.

It was reported about this time last year by onlineathens.com. The best way to tell you to get there is to Google UGA football GSR. Look for the online Athens leak.

EDIT: Sorry about being repetitively redundant over and over again from what Augusta Jacket had already posted. I didn’t see that until I posted this. The link he provided is the same one I looked at.

and you SHOULD be glad youre not competing with me. i just made you look like a fool.
i suspect you wouldnt want to compete with this guy either or all the OTHERS who think you should cheer for the dwags.

" I'm beginning to think that you really aren't Jan Kemp."

You can show it but it won't matter. UGA fans do not care anything about academics. Most can't name 2 Sr's off last years team. They just want to be entertained. They know they have guys who should still be in the 5 th grade. They don't care. Having that discussion is a total waste of your time. " Pigs don't know pigs stink ". This is what I tell the UGA folks I run into to. When they ask why I'm a GT fan. I tell them I'm to close to both locker rooms. If I have time I ask then a question. You are going on a two week vacation overseas w no contact back home. You have to randomly pick 5 names out of a bucket to watch your house while your gone. One bucket has the 85 scholarship UGA football players in it. The other has the GT players. Which bucket are you picking from. Then I just drop the mic and walk away.

while i fully understand your logic. btdt myself. think of it like a club. if a group of the brightest at tech get together they will NOT have the same graduation rate as the general population.

if i had a tutor and other perks to help me when i was here..... i do think it would have been a lot easier on me. sorry but i dont agree with your thought process on this.

Apologies...I was trying to be funny and it clearly did not come across......

I can tell you that from my perspective of being a sidewalk fan, the overall integrity of the Georgia Tech program and the academic requirements of the student athletes is one of the main reasons I became at Tech fan in the first place.

Winning games is priority #1

Not according to Georgia Tech (The Hill)

 

[GTJake]

This one of the reasons why even though sometimes it's very frustrating (I hope that's a strong enough word for us long-time GT fans) ... I'll always be proud to be a GT guy !!
I had a conversation out here the other day about the Shamire Devine story and that he wasn't focused on the Miami game yet because he had mid-terms to get through first ...

 

[Skeptic]

For all those calling for CPJ's job this is one of the main reasons he will not be fired anytime soon. Its an incredible achievement and i hope out continues to trend upward.

Lee Corso once got fired a Indiana after about 10 years and admitted his problem was that he could not recruit enough "hard-nosed smart guys." Great credit to Johnson and I hope he is at Tech a long time. But if he can't win he can be producing Einsteins and still get fired. His job description includes "football coach".

This gets my vote for post of the year.
