Dumpster Fire at Auburn

Morally wrong? MORALLY wrong?!? Please to explain that one. TIA!

The amount of money required to be successful in college football right now, should not be spent in those pursuits. The dollar amounts spent on sports in this country is obscene and morally wrong. The fans should boycott all sports until we teach many of these idolized individuals how replaceable they actually are.

Ok. Thanks. So it's not just college football. It's all sports. And it's on the fans who fund all this.

I can't say you're wrong. But one could say the same thing about all entertainment . . . movies, TV, music . . .

I mean, from 30000 feet it does seem kind of crazy to think that our society values folks playing games and singing songs in amounts of tens of millions of dollars a year, and barely values caregivers and educators of our children, service personnel who put their lives on the line to defend us, nurses who care for us when we're ill, etc. I understand the über-capitalism supply-and-demand arguments. I still think it's wacked . . . because our demands / priorities are wacked. And, yes, I'm guilty as charged.

I guess if I buy into your immorality argument, I have to say our society in general is immoral. Maybe it is.

They make LSU fans seem almost rational.

It was not always thus. I think being ass raped by Nick Satan for the past 14 years and watching him win Natty after Natty has made them insane.




What are you talking about? Do you think being a Tech student makes you a Tech football fan and part of the "fan base?"

Most Tech students are there to get degrees for their future careers. about half are not from the state of Georgia and an increasing number grew up in Asia. Many/most could not give a öööö about college football. What's wrong with that?

I was a football fan for more than a decade before I ever even applied to Georgia Tech. Saw my first college football game in person almost ten years before attending Tech. Couldn't care less about Georgia Tech football before I matriculated . . . only things I ever knew about Tech football were Cumberland, the "Wrong Way" Reigels Rose Bowl, Bobby Dodd, and Eddie McAshan, I'm a Tech football fan because I was ALREADY a college football fan before I attended Tech. College is expensive. I went to Tech for the engineering education, not the football, and sure as öööö not for "fun." And I'm pretty sure the vast majority of current Tech students went there for the same reason. If I had to choose between Tech continuing to be a great educational institution, or Tech having a great football program, that would not be a hard call for me. Or the vast majority of Tech students and alumni, I bet.

If you're expecting some great outpouring of support for Tech's football team from the Tech student population, I think you're in for a world of disappointment.

Cool rant. Anyways, hope we can win some football games.

Hey, you're the douchebag ranting about how angry Tech's students make you because they care more about the education they're spending ten$ of thou$and$ for than they care about you sidewalk fans who never even went to Tech.

That Georgia tech degree comes with an huge side of ego for some people.


Anyways, hope we can win some games.

I argued for years that we should cheat like everyone else, but given the current state of cfb, and other professional sports, I don't really see the point in trying to keep up with what's going on. They can get the revenue from me watching on TV when the product is interesting enough to justify that, but anything more would be a waste of my money and against my own self interest and values.

While we we’re talking about Auburn, I thought some of y’all may enjoy this. From my dad’s Auburn 1952 yearbook, so I guess this is the 51 game. Shug Jordan’s first year.

And some of us had a full load before we ever got there.

At least we're on the same page in one thing. I hope we can win some games, too. Lots of them.
