<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">The best thing about this thread IS FENWAY! I could sit and talk for hours about this ballpark and the many, many times we were there and saw some incredible baseball! Don't get me started this is a GT message board....
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">I am so happy to get out of the "proverbial" room with you, and 1. Let you enjoy MsTech's company and 2. into a situation where I can get BeeBad
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Ahso, for one, I believe that Braine put Gailey in a situation that was uncalled for. I think not only has Braine let Gailey doen, he has let the Alumni down. If, and that is if, we have a decent season then Gailey deserves plenty of kudos. But Braine has had basically 7 years, and as he admitted, the first 5 were easy. Yea, that's because O'Leary new what to do at GT as far as academics and dealing with the kids. Braine may have received 100 letters or 1000 letters. Your facts on the numbers may be right. And of course you cant please everybody. But ahso, the BIG PICTURE is that 1) Braine has little to no support from most of the Large donors. And you say why? Just ask them why. There is no Trust in the Braine AA from the "shareholders of the company." Trust is the one thing that has to be there. It's not there. 2) The Reseating has been an utter DISASTER, and reflects disorganization, lack of professionalism, and a lack of respect due the ticketholders. This reflects the Braine method of management. 3) You will never see a march to the capitol to remove Braine like you saw UGA try on Adams. You will never hear that "500 negative letters were sent to the GT AD" in any year-never. The majority of GT alumns dont care to write. Never have never will. But if you took a straw poll, after the 2 pathetic losses and the Grade-gate, 99 out of 100 would say heads need to roll-and not those under the top-the top head. So the "facts" as you have put it really dont mean anything. Why? Because if someone went out with a petition and got 500 people to sign it regarding the debacles and displeasure with the GT AD, that is 500 letters. Numbers mean less than attitude. The attitude from the people who care, is that Dave Braine needs to go, and it will be done verbally. I know your thread's point, but it's meaningless. maybe you win in a debate that only 100 letters happened to be written, but there is no debate on the Desire for Large donors to rid of Braine. I think that way Gailey would have a fair chance.
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">What's sad are fans like you trying to divide the base. I have ALWAYS SAID HERE - long before you arrived - WE ARE ALL GT FANS! I have yet to see a message board without different views! Sports message boards in particular are filled with different views - time you came into the 21st Century!
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Ahso, I have done my own research. I also have a "source". My source has confirmed for me that the complaints were greater than your "100". Furthermore, not all the complaints went to GTAA. Many went straight to Clough.
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Would that be you and ahso? You seem to be the only two that claim only 100 people complained after last season.
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Ahso, it all ties together to you trusting your source. There is NO trust with AA from the majority of people who love Tech and have given their time and money to see it progress from the depths we had in the late 70's. Yo could have gone down to the AA, read the letters yourself, counted them on your own 2 fingers, and came up with your story. That doesnt mean it's fact. My take is that your supposed facts are wrong, that you trust Braine (who represents the entire AA), and that to see is believe. How about said a different way- There are 20 some odd thousand seats held in season ticket holders hands. Every single one of them was embarassed like they had never been before (100% that is) after the UGA and Fresno game, and even more after the Grade Gate. And ahso, most have directed their displeasure towards Braine- not Gailey. Those 2 games represent Dave Braine- because in his words "his soft spoken demeanor will remind Georgia Tech people of the great legendary Bobby Dodd." The trust is what is broken, so the trust in believing your stuff you have found to be "fact" is non-existent. I'll end with this. I think Gailey has been put in a tough situation. I believe in a fair shot as most every post I have done states. Even though I think Braine let us all down by the hire, you have to give him a fair chance, and unfortunately I believe Braine stabbed Gailey in the back. I had to add this in here because you mentioned people trying to oust Gailey. That's not what my thread is about at all either.
