I'm sure the rest of you got that email from GTAA this afternoon about "important information for game day". So it says the parking lots open at 5? TF? I was gonna get there shortly after noon. Guess I'm SOL?
You've never encountered PTS I seeYeah this has been a common gripe among fans over the last decade really. Although I've wondered how it's enforced. Do they kick you out of the none-gated lots if you drive up and set up shop?
Why don't you try this as an experiment and report back on Friday?Yeah this has been a common gripe among fans over the last decade really. Although I've wondered how it's enforced. Do they kick you out of the none-gated lots if you drive up and set up shop?
You mean when I paid to park my car and GT forced me to move it mid-week for the New Kids on the Block concert, they were stressing academics?Yep. This has been a big issue for many years. For some reason Tech puts academics over athletics.

Not the issue at all.
Great insight.
So, you schedule a football game for a weeknight, but you don't cancel classes at any point during the day of that game. Including late afternoon classes that actually run into the scheduled time of the game.
Would it be so bad to cancel classes after 2 PM on a gameday? The schedule is set before the term even starts, so profs can easily teach around the lost class time. It isn't rocket science.
We had VPISU on a Thursday my freshman year, and I knew a handful of people that had a 7-10PM lab that they had to go to.
You young'uns have no work ethic. My freshman year I had 8 am chem lab followed by calculus at 11. On Saturday. I'd walk from Skiles back to Smith dorm after noon-- and obviously past Grant Field. All the home games started at 1:30 in those days. Change out of my sulphuric acid smelling clothes from Lyman Hall and walk across the street to the game.
Cancel Thursday afternoon classes indeed.
This is what I'm talking about. I think that still goes on now. Maybe it was GTMom that mentioned her son having a class that met during the game.
I remember my last year at Tech I had a late Thursday afternoon class on a gameday, and I brought a 20oz coke to class. But get this, guys. It had whiskey in it too! #yolo

I'm definitely not a person who thinks academics should always take a backseat to athletics, but that öööö was weak. You'd think they could reschedule a class that was happening DURING a football game.
Was that ~2008? I had a Fluids test the day after a Thursday night game that I want to say was against VT. Of course I went to the game and IIRC I got my highest test score all semester the next day.
Yes, I know, it is a very cool story.
