[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 877553, member: 2957"] I don't know about this. I was Greek at Tech at we had a great "word" file. Preparing for exams was good because we had 400 copies of tests each year for every class to help us prepare. The worst thing you could do was register for a class with a prof who had no history. And guess what? It's the same today. Students STILL select classes and professors with a known track record and teaching philosophy. As to the losing program, I don't think that's the reason. I've opined on this before because I have a lot of Auburn athletes in my classes and I ask them if they would have ever considered Tech. The short answer is NO. Not because GT is a loser or whatever, but ... we aren't relevant to them. Not being in the SEC is a problem (for this region) and for many, they want to play against other SEC teams or at least, teams with lots of their friends. We used to have that. There used to be an a Wreck Tech parade and all that, but it's all gone. New rivalries have formed and sights are being set on Oklahoma and Texas. The best, most diplomatic way I can say it is, we just aren't relevant to most of the athletes. I suppose with NIL we could BUY them ... if we had the money, but we don't. As a 44 year Tech fan ... in the words of Pogo ... "We have me the enemy, and he is us." [/QUOTE]
