Either way, the school is first class. It needs to be first class in everything it does or cancel sports. I am a life long sidewalk fan. I bought 10 seats to the kickoff game and will be bringing 8 people who enjoy college football but have never been to a college football game. I bought 8 gold GT shirts for them. GT needs to do something to keep my interest and draw those 8 people in as fans.
I’ve been screaming this for years but no one thinks like you or I. Imagine what would happen if our engineering ranks dropped into the 70’s like our athletics have dropped. You would see all night meetings taking place, heads would roll, and the pocket book would be unleashed to “buy” professors to get our programs back. But, in sports when I say that it’s met with a yawn or an excuse that the school can’t do it due to rules, blah, blah, blah. Then change the rules like every other major school does to help your programs - all your programs.
Come on, Beeski. That’s Clemson and no other for the CFP/NC. There are 13 others. Even ND doesn’t count. FSU was there the first year in 2014 and got obliterated.
If GT sports were interesting it could. I strongly feel compelling matchups will be the new barometer for tv dollars. One thing the SEC should think about is staying southeast. It can own all the states people are flocking to instead of the west and north where people are leaving continuously. It’s older but GT has a history with many SEC teams. You don’t have to create a story here. You just have to remind everyone.
You are correct but times are changing. It's only my opinion but bringing GT doesn't exclude them from getting into Virginia and North Carolina. If GT could get better you will make more money on GT vs Georgie. instead of Georgie vs Virginia. Does Virginia even care about football anymore? North Carolina is trying and has the ability but lol, have been trying and have the ability for many years.
Cav Man’s a freaking joke. They’ll do good in basketball from time to time, but any sport requiring more than 7-8 bodies forget it.
Hell yea
Clemson has been more like NCSU than they care to admit? Clemson has won no less than 10 games since 2010. Your failed logic continues by ignoring how good Clemson was before Lawrence with Watson at the helm, etc. The notion Clemson “will fall soon enough back to reality” has no substance. That team is loaded despite Dabo’s reluctance to use the Portal.
The TV folks supposedly want “good inventory.” The first way to supply “good inventory” is to be good. That way the conferences with good teams want you. Or at least that’s the way it should play out if “good inventory” is truly the priority.
This is the best hope Tech has in my opinion. I think Tech would be a great fit for B1G as the Atlanta market in the deep south of college football is a perfect base to expand B1G influence. Tech fits in pretty much all the right categories. The B1G doesn't much excite me, not nearly as much as the SEC would, but it beats the hell out of the direction the ACC is going in.
I understand you have a wet dream of probably getting in a league with ECU, Appalachian State, UCF and other öööö teams, but the rest of us prefer big boy football.
Closed at 89 yesterday.
They are regularly winning the overall sports trophy and are a Top Ten school. It’s who we should be associating ourselves with.
Jesus ööööing Christ give it a rest already.
FWIW, I agree with you that Disney is on the rocks. There is a thread dedicated to this situation as it evolves. Please join in the discussion.
