Attendance

That’s exactly what we’re saying. You aren’t allowed to have an opinion. People sitting in their basement in their underwear farting Cheetos power all over their puny little dicks have no respected opinions.

You still care. That’s so sweet. Stop projecting your physical shortcomings though.

You are allowed to have an opinion. But if that opinion is critical of someone on here who is attending games, you have to end your post with, "But that's okay, because I am doing even less to support the team than you."

Umm no. Plenty of these pukes didn’t go to games because of “high school offense.” That didn’t bar them from their stupid opinion or expressing it. I’m supporting Tech improvement by withholding my funds. I know that seems counterintuitive for the dim witted so just trust me.

Keep in mind, if everyone you see is an asshole, you are the asshole.

BTW, I support hundreds of charities by withholding funds. That damn cancer society better cure cancer before they get another dime.

If you can find me one post, just one, of someone saying, "I am not going to Tech games because I hate Paul Johnon's offsense and want to deprive the program of money until they change it. Also, the people who are there are still going to games are not real fans because they are not loud enough on first or second down" then I will agree with you.

I'm confident you cannot, because no one ever expressed that opinion. It's absurd.

Our attendance will improve and be good if we keep winning more than we lose and playing with spirit and being competitive in the games we do lose.

Imagine what yesterday would have been like if we hadn't made the changes we did and had lost to Pitt.

If we had 32,000, that's more than Pitt, Miami, UCLA and a bunch of other P5 teams draw.

I like the video of Coach Key leading the team singing The Ramblin' Wreck in the locker room. I like the excitement he shows when he yells, "To Hell With Georgia."

It feels like things are looking up. That's Key.

It's easy to lose fans midseason, but really tough to do the opposite -- and we lost plenty before jettisoning CGC.

If we keep winning I hope we'll see attendance improve some, but building the fanbase back is not going to be a single season thing. Collins unfortunately has done significant damage in that regard.

No. They are saying only fans currently attending games regularly can have any opinions. You aren’t currently attending either.

It’s one thing to appreciate quiet fans in the stands for simply showing up. It’s another to argue that those fans are as beneficial to the team as those that make noise.

"...simply showing up." is so much more beneficial than a remote fan. Showing up means buying tickets which supports the program. It's much better for the program to have silent or even booing fans buying tickets than people staying home and posting their fandom online.
Fan is short for fanatic. It doesn't seem reasonable to call a remote observer a fanatic.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but the football program would benefit more and be in a better financial position to improve if fans just showed up.

First I don’t care if you agree. But some did say that on the swarm a few years ago. They hated the scheme, thought it was boring, didn’t want to watch ia high school offense anymore.

And they said that people who were at the games were not real fans because they weren't loud enough on first and second down?

That’s true. But fans also need some value to warrant the time and money spent. I haven’t regretted focusing my time and money elsewhere these last 4 years. Lot of great memories before then through Cremins, Curry, Ross, O’Leary, CPJ, Maybe that will return again. But I honestly doubt it as Tech hasn’t shown a willingness to really compete in a couple decades.

Then öööö off and go do something else. You contribute nothing at games, you contribute nothing to the program, and you contribute nothing to this board (especially banging on about what somebody may or may not have said years ago on some other bullshit board).

öööö you and have a nice day.

Did you lose your binky?
 
Whether it comes from a fan currently in the stands, one at home on the couch, a former sidewalk fan, or the fan of another team…you can’t really argue this…..

if you only holler on 3rd and 4th down for the D. You are of little value to the D on 1st or 2nd down. Which are both kinda critical to getting to 3rd down in the first place. You think a QB doing an audible on 1st down is not affected by crowd noise?

If this message offends you it’s probably got a lot to do with self reflection.

If you don't show up at a game you can't disrupt a play on ANY down, including a 52 yard FG attempt to win the ballgame by the opponent. Let me guess, you made noise from the Lazy Boy.

Much better to have some value than no value.
