[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 153376, member: 789"] What I'm trying to say is we know where we're playing. We should know what type of grass we're playing on, kentucky blue, zoyosia, combo overseeded with wnter rye, etc. We should know the weather forecast so we know if the field is wet, dry, muddy, etc. We have warm ups on the field beforehand so we know if they cut the grass, didn't cut it, etc. We either left our cleats at home, had difficulty determining what cleats to wear, or something else. I just have a hard time understanding why GT does not have a significant advantage against nearly everyone else save MIT, Cal Tech, etc with respect to sports equipment technology, sports physiology, etc. We have the best Engineers when it comes to taking theory and applying it to real world situations, that's why we're the most highly sought at in the marketplace. GT should have every technological advantage available & technology not readily available to the butt sniffers up the road, etc. GT should be on the cutting edge of technology & we're not. Why is it that Nike, Under Armor, etc don't have research labs in our back yard. Where else would you go if you wanted a talented Engineer and people that know how to take an idea and deliver it to market? Clearly we're not supporting our sports teams properly because as an Institute we just don't believe it's important. I just think this is wrong. Besides the military and our insatiable apetite for technological advantages, sports is probably second in driving changes in the marketplace. GT should be head and shoulders above the competition & elite athletes should be flocking to our doorstep trying to get in on the latest thing. Sadly that's not the case. [/QUOTE]
