Game Recap from a 1 time/yr attendee

I don’t mind noon games, but I’m there whenever we play anyway.

I use The Score app for scores - I find it easier to navigate and skim than ESPN. They still publish the attendance with the other summary info about the game. But I kinda doubt too many recruits are poring over box scores for attendance numbers anyway.

It is good.
Use it to gauge what kind of lines we get before we make our call.
Of course, our guy's guy sometimes has vastly different lines.

i like that i can favorite teams and they show up first on scores. its helpful for college fantasy football cause in our league we have a limited player pool. i also like that they always have the TV listing for every game.

Well you did some deep dive into the previous years 3rd down stats for some reason and seemed surprised at the actual numbers you found.

We are consistently bad under this group Collins drags around with him. And we actually had good and bad performance under the previous staff of professional coaches.

Was checking cause I remembered it being bad and it mostly was. I was surprised at the 2017 high ranking given it wasn't all that good a year. I don't really see occasionally being average on third down defense as hugely impressive over the current defense given that back then even when the offense did poorly the defense usually got plenty of rest.
Maybe the current defenses are worse even despite that, you're still just deciding which bad one was worse, having most of the previous defenses from the past years would not of changed our record this year.

It won’t be me you dolt. I don’t so cancel culture. But plenty others do. Get into a road rage incident and see what an opposing lawyer does with your internet warrior rage challenges. Good luck with that sucker. Drive safe and reign in that rage.

The PA guy must be embarrassed for having to say Money Down. If not, I feel embarrassed for him. It’s juvenile and it feels like the goal of winning is just secondary to being hip and cool instead. I’m sure the opposing fans are laughing at us too.

Same here - I noticed he stopped calling it money down at some point in the 2nd half. I was grateful.
 
Season ticket holder from 1984 until last year. Think I missed three (might have been four) home games in that time. Won't bore you with how many away and bowl games in that stretch. Went to tons of games as a student and before I could afford season tickets. Farthest I went was BYU when Reggie Ball played his first game. I sat thru some awful stuff in the 80's and 90's, and still couldn't wait to get to the game on Saturdays. Pestered family and friends to attend games with me. Spring games, pep rallies, signing days.

I could care less now. I often wondered how it would end. Collins broke me. It's no longer the Georgia Tech football team - it's the 404, ATL, Waffle House, greatest rebuild ever, no longer gold and white, BLM, etc. team. Why should I care? None of that has anything to do with me. They just happen to play at BDS, and not very well at that.

Collins did everything he could to cut the ties to the past. He was damn good at that, but not much else. We got rid of a 'high school offense' and hired a high school cheer leader coach. After all the years and money, when I didn't renew, I sent an email telling the AD to give me a call if they wanted to know why. Never heard from them. Guess they are selling so many tickets they don't need my input. It still bugs me, though, that some newbie SOB probably got my parking space, the one I paid dearly for. I had thought that Hewitt was the worst Tech coach, even more than Bill Lewis. Hewitt forced me to puke up my basketball season tickets. Collins gets the chicken dinner, though.

My prediction is that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Collins has lost the alumni and fans, probably also the players, and the recruiting is likely heading for the exits this year, too. Not sure if there is much of anything left by signing day. The greatest rebuild of all time has yet to start.

Take some time off and let it go. Eventually we’ll hire the right up and comer and we’ll have some good times. But it does appear the next 5 years are gonna be tough. I was going to head to Miami but cancelled it. I just can’t sit there again and hope.

But if you don’t keep going to games some will say you no longer have a right to any opinions. :)

Yesterday was Homecoming. Met up with tons of friends from days gone by, there’s only a few of us hanging on to our season tickets. Easily 1/3 maybe as much as 1/2 of my section is gone. There’s about half of those lost replaced with newbies. This is a generalization but there’s rampant malaise among the old timers, the newbies are pretty discouraged. Us old timers for the most part are going to ride it out, I’m concerned about the newbies. I think many of them bolt.

I think you got your basic premise 180 degrees out.

Well don’t get me wrong, I’m not jumping up and down with joy at where we are. But I’m not about to abandon the team either. They need our financial support and withholding it isn’t going to help.
