[QUOTE="katlong, post: 180770, member: 2490"] I love Tech, and I love Tech football - I want them to win every single game, just like all of you. But it is not the season records, the championships, or bowl game wins that are impressive to me or make me proud to be a ramblin' wreck. Win or lose, I'm their biggest cheerleader. Here are my top 6 reasons: 1. Our players are not thugs! You misbehave; CPJ will not let you continue. 2. Each player had to not only meet a certain academic requirement to get in, but they are smart enough to graduate - and all of them have to take calculus to do it. They don't major in underwater basket weaving, and the requirements to be eligible are higher than NCAA rules. 3. Our team is just that - a team. We have stars, but the entire offense or defense does not depend on one or two clutch players to make every play. They all know the value of working together as a team and sacrificing through blocks to get the job done. 4. They don't come unraveled under adversity - even after 2 really tough losses, both times they stuck it out and almost came back - I think about Pittsburg last year and DJ White not giving up on the play - had he given up, the entire game would have been different. Because he stuck with the play, that has to be one of the most fun quarters to Tech football in recent history to watch (I still can't delete it off my DVR). The same can be said for the UGA game last year. 5. In order to play for Tech, you have to buy into big boy football - not that boring pro style offense everyone else plays. You have to commit to real contact football. 6. Ratliffe - need I say more? Honor in recruiting. While we all want to drink the koolaid as described by orientalnc above, I challenge all of you to remember that all of the reasons above are good ones to be excited. When it comes to what really matters, I think our program is batting 1000. GO JACKETS! [/QUOTE]
