Other schools have this same issue across the country, and take losing season after losing season and still show up to support the team. A lot of this is fan base. I have many friends who are not Tech fans who all state the same thing. According to them, Tech fans are pretentious, cocky, arrogant, better than you attitudes. If that is the majority of the opinions about Tech, what do you think the recruits are hearing? Other potential coaches? Sidewalk fan base? Have you been to a game recently? The atmosphere is not the same as it was in the late 90's when O'Leary was here. Back then it was exciting, People participated, Stadium was packed. When the fight song was played you heard the entire song being sung by the fan base, not just a muffled "To hell with Georgia" I cant tell you how many people have told me to sit down or be quiet at games. IT"S A FOOTBALL GAME! not a tennis match. Our fan base sucks as much as The Braves, The falcons, the hawks... nobody cares unless we are winning... and that is pathetic. No pride in the team no pride in the city. We have to change a lot of perspectives about Tech, we need to get good players in the school, we need to have coaching with some passion. I like CPJ, but the guy acts like he rather be anywhere else. I'm sure he is taking some shots on the chin form the alumni, and that has to break you down. We all need to suck it up. We dont get the respect that we deserve.. I get it, but we have done ZERO to change the analysts opinions of who and what we are. Until we do, we will continue to be a middle of the road ACC team, like we have been percieved for god knows how long.
