[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 750357, member: 4572"] It would take years and years of being “good” before Tech ever built up a large enough reputation to sell out every game based on brand alone. 8-4 every year would not cut it if that’s your definition of good. It would take multiple 10 win seasons, and years of winning records vs. rivals (Georgia, Clemson, Miami, Virginia Tech) to build up a strong enough foundation to sell out more than 1 game a year. Georgia has won 10 or more games 13 of the 20 seasons since 2000. They’ve won fewer than 8 just once, and they’ve dominated their H&H rivals (Tech, Auburn, Tennessee) and played about even with Florida in Jacksonville. And you can’t ignore that in odd years (their worst home schedules) they still have South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, and a team from the SEC West on their schedule. Tech’s best home schedule in odd years has Georgia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Pitt, and a team from the Atlantic. Those aren’t exactly the most compelling games. Even years draw Clemson, Miami, Duke, and Virginia. While Georgia gets Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Tech. With more teams adjusting their OOC scheduling to including more P5 teams, Tech cannot afford to back off scheduling and play Western Kentucky, Troy, and Bowling Green every year. If Tech goes 9-3 with that schedule they still probably lose to Georgia, Clemson, and either Miami or North Carolina. 2 conference losses means they won’t play in Charlotte, and they have to win the bowl game to get to 10 wins. The 2009 Wake Forest game is the only real history we have to refer to when it comes to being a consistent winner. Coming off a 9-4 year with a UGA win. Going into the game 8-1 ranked #10 in the country, that’s 17-5 over the last 22 games (which hasn’t happened since) playing a conference opponent in a 3:30 Saturday afternoon game. If that game didn’t sell out, how many games over how many years would it take to sell out noon games in September against Northern Illinois? Hell, how long would it take to sell out night games against Miami? [/QUOTE]
