We are GT , located smack in the middle of the Unofficial Official CFB Capital of the World.
We should never root for the underdog, because we should never identify with the underdog.
This is a part of the beaten mindset of GT Fans, we identify with Service Academies and Ga Southern as if that makes us a more attractive destination for better Players and better Coaches.
Newsflash, it doesn't make us more attractive to those 2 critical groups that we sorely need.
Our own heavyweights don't think we compete vs uga and Clemson, not a former Cross Country Runner, a former GT FB Player announced this to the World.
What do think will spread faster, the NBC Graphic, or the words of a heavyweight booster (perceived)?
If it were up to me, they should televise the Pitt v Wake Game on the ACCN to show everyone what ACC Fanbases have to deal with.
Sorry, if I'm not a "root for the underdog" kinda Guy, I bet you cry everytime you watch "Rudy"?
I hate every other Team in our Conference and on our sked, unless there's a selfish reason to root for them, beating Pitt doesn't rise to that level , we play Pitt every year, it's our Job to beat them.
Well, at least you went from bullshit to absurd. There are a ton of reasons to root for the underdog. But if you don’t great. Root for the front runner. Root for neither. It doesn’t change anything relative to GT. In fact it has nothing to do with GT.
Watch the game though, that will actually impact GT in the slightest way. Then don’t watch the seccg. That will infinitesimally weaken our competition. Neither will move the needle on GT by a cent.
