[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 369280, member: 906"] I like to believe our fans, like our players are of a different breed. I want to believe they are more realistic and practical than fans of the factory schools. But, the more of this "crap" I read tells me we have a fairly large group of "fans" that do not understand our school and the world/society we currently live in. We can try to catch lighting in a bottle, and we saw it happen in 1990. It happened to some degree a few years back when we beat MSU in the Orange Bowl. But, to think we can do this year in and year out, with all of the unbelievably difficult challenges to recruiting that the Institute has to offer is really not realistic. Is it o.k. to want more? I think so, but it has to be dampened somewhat by the realization of what we are trying to do - compete at the highest level against football factories when we are a top realm public STEM school Again, other than the military academies, NO other STEM schools even attempt this. I am a 1985 grad, and when I was at Tech, the only reason most of us went to the games was to throw frisbees at the band at halftime, as the teams were so, so bad. I guess that makes me appreciate what we have had over the past 30 years or so, with BR, GO, and now PJ. I was not a CG fan, although I do believe he was a genuinely good man. Ultimately, coaches can coach up lesser talent, and I believe that is what our coaches do year in and year out. But, it is very difficult to overcome the talent gap that our team sees against most P5 schools. I will agree that this past Saturday was BAD, bad on the coaches and players. Duke does not have a large talent gap on GT, and so, I am o.k. with blaming PJ and the other coaches to some degree for that one. I always say that when Bammer loses, you know exactly where to put the blame - sa(t)an. He has more talent and depth than ANYONE else, so when his team loses, he should get most of the blame. When our team wins against a VPI or Clem's Son or UGAG, like last year, PJ and our coaches should get a lion's share of the credit, as they do this by outcoaching the other team. (scheme and coaching players up) I guess I am through venting now. [/QUOTE]
