Expansion Rumors…

I disagree completely. Why drop it?
Because they ööööed us years ago when we were sponsored by Alabama to reenter the SEC. If we go to the BIG10, we need to just middle finger UGAg and the SEC. Hopefully, the BIG10 makes the move of grabbing GT, Miami, FSU, Clemson, and UNC (yes, that big of a conference) and puts us in a pod like the NFC south. I really don't care about any of the other ACC schools.

I agree; but we don't need to drop the series until we get in the B1G though.

I hope the B1G grows into 4 pods: Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, and West. Southeast & Northeast play a playoff in the Orange Bowl. Midwest & West play a playoff in the Fiesta Bowl. National Championship in the Rose Bowl. SEC can move their championship back to the Sugar Bowl or some other backwater redneck swamp.

Damn, that's brilliant. I nominate you emperor over all sports.
 
No. Don’t marginalize my post - its not emotional. I have been in the stands since the early 80’s and never considered dropping the series.

But the landscape has changed. The field is no longer level.

Go back and take a look at the stands last November. Tech fans have basically thrown in the towel in the series. That’s not emotional. That’s a fact.

Again I ask: what is the point?
All sports fans are like us and don’t have much interest in going to watch a öööö show. That’s especially true where it looks like our players start mailing it in at the end of the season and especially against uga.

I think there might be a misinterpretation that I endorse dropping the dwags because of my personal opinion about our odds of winning or, as you point out, apathy in the fanbase. Nope.

Its more of an acknowledgement that we have already gone our separate ways. This isn't about Collins or tStan or our apathetic, cheap (in aggregate) fan base - its about not pretending that we can still pull even if we just get the right coach. John Heisman could rise from the dead, hire Bobby Dodd and Bobby Ross as coordinators and we would still be in the bottom half of a conference in the bottom half of conferences.

I'm still excited about this season and possibly winning 6 and going bowling. But at some point, we need to see where the ship is heading and make some course corrections.
 
JOHN CANZANO, PAC-10 or 12 GOING ESPN & ACC Network!!!
MUST WATCH: Youtube...Wildcat Country Arizona 7-13-2022........John Canzano is Guest at 20:40.

I listened to it twice. Canzano (I think an Oregon guy based on what Arizona guys said) presented his takes like a true professional. He came off to me as someone who has heard these things - whether true or not -he's being fed info.

Interesting, but I don't see what the ACC has to gain from an alliance with the Pac-12, mainly because of the 4 hour time difference. I heard Tech mentioned once, but I don't remember now what Canzano said, and I don't want to try to find it. Do you remember?
It looks like though, that ESPN is pretty much in charge, and it's all about the money.
 
Oh noes, we "gave up on the series" after three straight ööööty 3 win seasons while they were contending for national championships.

Some of y'all need counseling
I ain't doing it because of the losses. I want to do it because the BIG10, if we join, needs to marginalize the SEC
 
I actually think that the mutts would drop us before we would drop them. They don't need us, and they would love thumbing their nose at us
Good for them. We can join the BIG10 and make sure we do everything in our power to make Atlanta a BIG10 town. If that means making sure that each year we get at least one of the following in Atlanta - Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Penn State - then that needs to happen. Anything to try to put a dagger in the SEC.

That would do nothing to marginalize anything in the state of Georgia or any of the surrounding area. I suspect you already know that. It would do a lot to marginalize Georgia Tech even further however
 
That’s circumstantial. They’ll come back when we have real football on the field. It’s not a reason to destroy one of the oldest rivalries that exist in college football.
You’re obviously not paying attention to the separation of programs like tOSU, Alabama, UGA, Clemson are to the rest of CFB. It will take much more than a coaching change to even make a dent in the Atlantic Ocean sized gap those schools have made to the level of even the 7-8 win a year programs. The state of CFB as a whole has become predictable and boring really since year 2 of the CFP. And this not the fault of any of these programs. They have invested the $$$ to take themselves to the next level, leaving everyone else in the dust.

The 2nd level programs like LSU, OU, ND, Michigan, Texas A&M, Oregon, etc are having a hard time staying within 14 of those teams. Yes I know Oregon beat tOSU, TAMU beat Bama last year, but 1/10 is not where those programs want to be. And all these programs spend a ton more $$ on their football program.

So with the $$$ invested into UGA’s football program and the opposite for GT, right now GT could hire Nick Saban and in 5 years they would still be losing by 28. This isn’t the 90’s-early 2000’s. Resources, support staff, facilities are what attract top level talent. Why do you think FSU is stuck in a rut? It’s not all about bad coaching hires. Their facilities are 2nd rate to 98% of the SEC & B1G.

So answer this, what advantage does GT have over any of the above?

I’m kind of in the middle on this argument. While I agree that having GT in the expanded BIG wouldn’t put a dagger in the SEC—too many UGA and other SEC fans in the greater Atlanta area for that to happen—-I think it certainly could elevate Tech’s status locally and nationally, particularly if Tech gets its act together and the BIG truly becomes a national conference.
 
That’s an emotional reason. You wanna drop a 127 year old rivalry because Collins lost a bunch of games and the fans are mad?
But this isn’t just a Collins failure. Are you forgetting the last 2 years under CPJ? The games were over by the end of the 1st quarter.

And I’ll be truthful with you, I was no fan of the spread option offense. But at this rate GT should go back to it when the coaching change is made. 7 wins a year is better than 9 in 3 years. GT needs to run something other than the current trend in order to create some advantage.

The only part of this post that is relevant is that Tech's status locally and nationally will elevate if Tech gets its act together. That's it. That's all. That's all it is now, and all it ever has been. The exaggeration of the ACC somehow being a significant anchor holding Tech back is the most laughable bullshit ever in this expansion saga. We've always had much bigger albatrosses than our ACC affiliation.

I don’t disagree. I still see potential for the ACC as a good home IF Tech does its part AND none of the other historic football powers get poached. And it may be that despite rumors of certain schools being discontent, the GOR may be enough to keep the league together…but I have my doubts.

Bullshit it would marginalize us.. Ohio State already recruits Georgia pretty well. Atlanta has a ton of BIG10 transplants.

The ACC is what makes us suffer
