UGA won the national championship. They ended up with 5 first rounders just on their defense and Nakobe Dean and Pickens (who I really can't stand) will probably go in the second round and/or third round.
Nothing like this happened in 1990.
In the 1991 draft Tech had two players selected. One in the 7th and one in the 10 round. I don’t think that deserved a special.
How much did you see about anything regarding Tech's 1990 Championship? Right, that's my point.
And? I’m not really sure what your point is. Are you saying UGA gets more and better coverage than GT? Is that some sort of revelation? It’s been true as long as I’ve been around GT in 1984. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to grasp that dollars run the media. There’s more UGA fans. That equals more dollars. That equals more eyeballs on commercials. It equals more stuff purchased. Advertisers like that. And this year the team in the area that has MANY more fans also has legit earned more coverage. They were better than everyone else in the nation. The NFL teams are picking their players like they are hot Krispy Kremes. They are sports news locally and nationally. We aren’t.
Not a revelation jojatk. No one is claiming cold fusion here, so what is your reaction based on here? We were talking about wsb and Jeff Hullingster ok. He and they have never given Tech football much credit and gush about Uga everytime they get a first down against Ludowici State A&M. Sportscasters, weather people, local news hosts, were dawg fans before they became so called unbiased purveyors of the news of the day. More importantly, the producers of the channels, like the editors of the newspapers, are also much more likely to be connected to Uga. It's not fair or unfair, it's how it is and just another hurdle for Tech to overcome. The OP was disappointed in the coverage he found on wsb and I posted it's always been this way, including 1990---no more, no less. Maybe more decaf for ya?
Exactly. All Tech’s National Championship did was earn us EQUAL coverage for a few months. Then it was over and back to a 70/30 split of uga/Tech coverage. Even in years we have beaten them we never get the dominant coverage that the media gives uga in our own town.
I'd agree that the answer is winning in part. But GT is not going to be the media draw that UGA is. As for decaf I'm actually fairly calm. I'm just trying to understand why there's any angst about this topic at all. Or even more, why there's any surprise about it. We also agree that it's always been this way.
Yes, if you mean in the "recent" always ( LOL ). Before VD ( Dooley ) things were a lot different........
No surprise on my part. As for the angst, maybe because it harms something most here care about (not that there's anything we can do about it).
