I understand georgie is at a 40 year high but being unable to compete with them at all has very much to do with Collins. It's not like Collins team is good enough to win 6 games in the ACC but then unable to get over the hump with a number 1 team. Collins couldn't beat a MAC team last year with an entire off-season to prepare for the game.
We could replace them with South Carolina, Ole Miss or Auburn and still have sell outs.
We should focus all of our football interests in getting into the Big Ten and not Georgia right now. We need interest in our community, fans in the seats, not a UGA victory right now.
Oh so it’s just Collins that can’t compete with UGA? Interesting. Because looking at the scores the last 5 years, it’s been pretty much the entire SEC as well. Guess you haven’t paid attention to those UT-UGA games much? (41-0, 38-12, 43-14, 44-21, 41-17)..…….Outside of the South Carolina fluke, the only competitive games UGA has had have been Oklahoma (1), Texas (1) Auburn (1), ND (2), Clemson (1), LSU (2), UF (2020), Cincy (2020) and Bama (1-4). More or less when UGA plays top 5 teams are the only time UGA has been involved in a competitive game.

All of your "analysis" and yet it completely leaves out the team that this page is focused on. Tech can't beat NIU but they are supposed to compete with a top 5 team? And to your point the only other team I watch that plays Georgie is UT. No, Pruitt was a terrible coach and no wonder he couldn't compete. UT showed him the door as hopefully Tech will do Collins. But last year UT was beating UGA at the end of the 1st quarter. Probably the least talented UT team since I started following them 20 years ago and no wonder they got outmanned as the game progressed. When was the last time Collins held a lead against UGA?
It was 24-10 at the half. In 2019 GT was only down 17-7 at the half. Lol I know Tennessee football has been pretty irrelevant since Fulmer, but this takes the cake. “Tennessee was winning after the 1st quarter….” Is this about moral victories now?
Wow you really are absurd. I simply followed your logic and addressed your perspective with an example that you provided. Tennessee fans are "all in" on Heupel because he showed some success with a roster that was built to lose 10 games. I'm not here to talk UT but fact is I was not a fan of the Heupel hire but he has earned the fan bases opportunity to prove me wrong. Tech fans are "all out" on Collins who was expected to go to a bowl game last year, had the most talented player at GT since CJ, and yet took almost 60 minutes to put away mighty Duke on the way to having possibly the most embarrassing 2 games in the history of GT football. Why are we even arguing? Collins is a lame duck, everyone knows it, the only question is does he get fired during or at the end of the season?
If he wins seven games, Collins will NOT get fired. Bank on it. So "everyone" does NOT know that he's a lame duck.
That is not even close to accurate. No one predicted more than 5 wins for GT in any publication last year. I’m not sure where the hell you got that GT was expected to be a bowl team after the 2019, 2020 COVID season? That was more hope than anything else from a GT fan standpoint. I think by the end of the 2020 season the writing was clearly on the wall with the state of the program.
Well, if these same folks had anything to do with hiring our AD and/or the decisions that he has made . . .So some of the top donors at GT have no sense?
Prominent Georgia Tech donors revisit their optimistic preseason projections
Before Georgia Tech began its 2021 season, Steve Zelnak and Gregg Garrett shared optimism about the Yellow Jackets’ season ahead. Their perspective was worth listening to for at least a few reasons.www.ajc.com
