Dumbest thing I've ever read...but parts of it made me laugh as if it was written as satire...but I don't think it was. I'll link it once they update nique.net.
 
I bet he/she doesn't know why we decided to get out of the SEC. Anyone who doesn't, look up why. That league is just flat-out dirty. I will give you a recent example of how unclassy their teams are. This past year, before the National Championship, LSU did not release the grades of their students because more than half of their starters were going to be placed on probation and unable to play. So for the first time in school history, they delayed the grades until the weekend before the beginning of Spring Semester. I know this because I was born and raised in New Orleans (notice the username) and a ton of my friends attend LSU. They didn't get their grades until after the National Championship ... sickening. Great coaches like Dodd prepared the young men to succeed in life; the SEC trains then to play football and that's it.
 
Can we convince them instead to take Miami. I think it would be a lot better for their players if they know some other players in federal jail before they went there.

Is this on paper anywhere?

Actually, on the basis of scholastics FSU would be a much better fit for the SEC. And the criminoles might be competitive with the SEC in arrests as well.

Absolutely correct. I was living in NW Alabama in 1966 after graduation. An Alabama avid supporter (not a graduate) who was my friend took me to an Alabama booster meeting to hear Dr. Noah Langdale, a professor at Georgia State speak. He had played in the SEC, maybe Alabam, can't remember. Afterwards, we went up to meet him and my friend told I was from Tech. Langdale commenced talking about how Alabama and Auburn and other SEC teams placed the wrong emphasis on their football/academic program, and how GT had it figured out correctly, which I had been preaching for a year. My friend almost exploded. I love that man!
Everything he said is still true today, even more so. We are where we belong for sure, though I do miss playing in the most competitive FB conference in the country.

Noah Langdale retired as president of Georgia State. He also was an All American tackle at Alabama. He was one of the great orators of his time and was much in demand as a banquet speaker.

Miami has less thugs then VThug has these days. Plus the crowds at VThugs home games fit the SEC mold exactly.
 
Would be interesting to read his reasons for this.

I happen to agree. Our games against AU, ugag, hell even MSU this year have more juice to them.

If we were in the SEC nothing would happen to the value of your degrees.

But there would be no more complaining about why we don't sell enough tickets. And it is hard to believe anyone would say those things don't matter. Look at all the posts this week about "why can't we sell more tickets?"

The value of "Your degrees"? Does this mean you do not have a degree from Georgia Tech?

If not, leave it to those who do to decide what has an acceptable impact on our degrees.

I'm glad we are not in the SEC, and I would never want to be associated with that crowd. I propose the majority of Tech degree holders who have an opinion about it feel the same way.

That's the way to talk down to him, BuzzDraft. Your condescending words make me feel real superior just by being in the company of elitist Tech degree holders. Not!
 
stop pointing fingers...we just got out of a scandal ourselves.
 
Yeah, that's it. Let's go to a conference where half of our stadium will be filled with opposing fans for EVERY home game!
 
Because the perennial powerhouse that is SEC basketball makes it all worth it...
 
Nique sports editor needs to study his history. We need to be in the SEC like UGAG needs Spurrier. Ain't gonna happen. We need to be part of moving the ACC to the top of the college football map.
