What is this thing about Waffle House?

Agree, I think at this point it feels like Walt Ehmer or some folks up high at Waffle House are donating some good money now to the team...or something has changed.

No doubt

The Admiral getting in on the product placement action.

Free commercials = big donations.
Need to work in Falcons/Atlanta United/Home Depot to free up some of Arthur's cash. [emoji3]

Just had breakfast at Waffle House here in Sevierville which was pork chops and eggs along with a waffle. Waffle House needs to be an official sponsor for Georgia Tech Athletics.

Drove by a couple months back when we took my daughter to Dollywood. Pretty area.

What is this thing about Waffle House? I think of it as a way to build character and identity with an asset that is uniquely southern, and uniquely conceived and managed by GT grads. Waffle House is a southern institution that everyone in the south views as one of their own. Collins astutely notes this and is using this as a marketing mechanism. I don’t think it’s for the purpose of garnering more Waffle House sponsorship $$, but more so to personify the energy and fortitude required to build a greater program. Breakfast / morning is commonly associated with an industrious work ethic. Tweeting a picture of eating breakfast at Waffle House in the early morning is emblematic of a southern work ethic.

Hope CGC don’t fall asleep at Waffle House!
Lol

Initially, I was going to say: Occam's Razor: CGC is from Conyers and has worked in Philly for a few years. When I worked in the north and returned to Atlanta, I overindulged in Varsity, Waffle House, Chick-Fil-A, Krispy Kreme, and barbecue as best as possible. Perhaps he's doing the same.

Now? With the product placement? I think we have a big money sponsor.

And the money wouldn't be bad, either.

They let him borrow a plane? Good news. Can fly it out of Fulton county airport and avoid all the TSA shenanigans.

@GTRambler this is what I’m talking about!!! Who knew it would explode to this... Collins getting flown to do some recruiting in one of Waffle House’s planes? WOW!

The deal is, its absolutely genius.

Certainly never thought my avatar would be waho

I believe we finally have a coach that is willing to leverage social media advertising for donations from a company! Wow! Ground breaking hahaha (sarcasm). After waffle house is settled he needs to move in on SunTrust bank, and GT needs to work with other local major businesses, at least ones that have their headquarters here. I would suggest Mercedes, but bmw seems to be ingrained into GT.

I'd also suggest Racetrac. Have photos of collins filling up the ford at a pump at racetrac

Don't forget Porshuh has their North America Hdqtrs in Hapeville where the Ford plant used to be.

At least in my experience, the socioeconomic background of people that go to Waffle House is much more diverse than Big Lots, Family Dollar, or Dollar General. I know and have seen poor, lower middle, upper middle, and wealthy people at WH.

It was pretty common to run into Tom Hammond at the one on Northside Drive.
