Humble brag, since CGC designed their recruiting methology of the eraWe are laying the same recruiting foundation Alabama laid in 2007

We've talked about sidewalk fans and our struggle to pick them up, but it seems to me that's been more imagining folks who aren't already college sports fans/alums of major D1 universities. There are a LOT of those folks in Atlanta, also raising kids. Turning them into secondary Tech fans or converting them would be huge. Getting them to a local game and wearing white and gold to support us because traveling to Michigan for example is impractical would be huge.Some comments on 680's/Sandra Golden's twitter pages...
Atlanta should be a hotbed of sidewalk fans. Whether GT is their "Second" or not doesn't matter to me, as long as they are butts in seats and cheering for the Jackets. Atlanta is a business epicenter, and people from all over the country live here. Why not turn the transplants into secondary GT fans?We've talked about sidewalk fans and our struggle to pick them up, but it seems to me that's been more imagining folks who aren't already college sports fans/alums of major D1 universities.

Yeah, one productive goal is being the second favorite team of every transplant in this state. It shouldnt be hard because dwag fans are obnoxious rednecks which most transplants want nothing to do with.We've talked about sidewalk fans and our struggle to pick them up, but it seems to me that's been more imagining folks who aren't already college sports fans/alums of major D1 universities.

This times a million. People want to pull for the home team. From what I can tell the staff is doing all the right things to embrace the city. Because such a large percentage of people in Atlanta aren't from any in the south even, they don't have strong ties to any of the teams. I have a few neighbors from all parts of the country and globe. They all have the same story. Came to the city, didn't have a team, loosely support Georgia because... it's basically the default option. All have said they'd love to check out a Tech game with me. There are SOOO many people in Atlanta that we can win over if we keep doing what we're doing. I'm excited.We've talked about sidewalk fans and our struggle to pick them up, but it seems to me that's been more imagining folks who aren't already college sports fans/alums of major D1 universities.

In particular, there are plenty of non-uga SEC fans around town. I have always found Auburn fans, UT fans, UF fans to be sympathetic to GT to begin with because of tradition and shared hatred. If we put out a good product, I could see them paying more attention. Those whose # 1 schools are even farther away could be good gets too.Atlanta should be a hotbed of sidewalk fans.

If , and when, Collins elevates the Tech program into a perennial contender and an occasional conference champion, he will have his choice of any job in the country.Humble brag, since CGC designed their recruiting methology of the era
Here’s to hoping he is a Beamer figure who stays here.If , and when, Collins elevates the Tech program into a perennial contender and an occasional conference champion, he will have his choice of any job in the country.
One day we will find out if everything he said about being in the ATL is trueHere’s to hoping he is a Beamer figure who stays here.
That's fine. If he gets to that point we've done something very, very right.One day we will find out if everything he said about being in the ATL is true
The key to this, in the blink of an eye, is CGC establishing the whole ATL/404 pride thing. The Cesspool has been marketing themselves as Atlanta's college team, but they are not. GSU, KSU, et al have been trying, but CGC has sed, "We ain't playing. P5. ATL. Get on board."Atlanta should be a hotbed of sidewalk fans.

If that day happens, we will be able to pay our coach and staff whatever he could get elsewhere and he wouldn't have to live in Norman, Tuscaloosa, or Lincoln....Atlanta is a destination city. Start selling out and revenue goes up across the board. Donations go up accordingly.One day we will find out if everything he said about being in the ATL is true
ftfyIt took a little effort, a little saavy, and a little luck that the Dwags are are a bunch of inbred racists that you can smell from a mile away.
Wasn't there a Finneran who was a receiver with the Falcons? Or am I misremembering.Finneran really wants CGC to trash the old system but he's keeping it positive. Finneran is so annoying.

He's on record as saying this was his dream job.If , and when, Collins elevates the Tech program into a perennial contender and an occasional conference champion, he will have his choice of any job in the country.
