[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 228166, member: 844"] I agree with your post. However, Stanford and ND have dealt successfully with these changes and are stronger now despite the hurdles. (I know the standard rebuttal will include the dreaded "c" word or the phrase "liberal arts".) Oregon was a laughing stock not to far back as were TCU , Baylor, Kansas State (which, if you did not know, is located in the middle of Kansas) and even FSU not that long ago. At one point in time, I would imagine that their fans also spent hours justifying why they couldn't compete against USC or Texas or Florida. Although different, their obstacles were as great if not greater than the ones faced by GT. My perspective in short is that we have unique challenges and opportunities.But no larger than the ones faced by TCU, Baylor or even FSU at one point. Of course, once these schools ascend out the abyss, we all look back and say it was inevitable for whatever reason. I just wish the dialogue amongst the fan base (and more importantly, the GTAA and school leadership) was focused on overcoming them rather than the constant rationalization of why we can't. As more than one person has said on the various boards, justifying the staus quo is not a mind set that many of us bring (or brought in the case of us older guys) to our professional lives. [/QUOTE]
