[QUOTE="RamblinCharger, post: 895563, member: 1005"] I'm in a similar boat. I grew up near the Atlanta area until I was about 10 years old. My dad spent most of his life in Atlanta until he moved late in high school, so he passed down his love of GT sports to me. He took me to my first game (that I actually remember) in 1997 as a 6 year old when we lost a close game to UNC. I was hooked and got to see a lot of good games over the next 15+ years. My dad and I had season tickets for several years even after our family moved to north Alabama. After giving up on season tickets once I got older and we had less time on the weekends we still always tried to make it to 1-2 big games a year and we got together to watch almost every other game on TV. Over the last few years since CGC took over neither of us can muster up too much passion about the team because neither of us went to GT for school. I went to UAH and then UNA for grad school, so I have been following Alabama (UAH alum) and Auburn more as my fiancé graduated from Auburn. I want to revive the passion for GT, but as I've gone to Alabama and Auburn games more over the last 2-3 years, and tailgated with friends, its a totally different spectacle. Those GOL years and early CPJ days were really exciting for a kid in elementary and middle school, and I always thought I would get back closer toward Atlanta and get season tickets again, but with no academic ties to tech it is really hard to imagine asking my fiancé and one day children to go see a half empty stadium when their parents have academic ties to SEC schools that really care about sports. Alabama and Auburn both have an enormous amount of sidewalk fans, which pays big dividends for their schools, until GT realizes that spending money on sports could actually help the school in other areas, I don't know that they will ever get back to those glory days. It's sad to watch. [/QUOTE]
