We had 36k for unc at homecoming with about 6-7k unc fans, maybe more. Syracuse may bring 1k, so we'd have to have roughly a 50% increase in GT fans there to get to 45k. Would love to see it happen, but a nice solid 35k would be a damn miracle.
What really helps is having an entertaining product and the offense has been entertaining the past couple games. People will want to see it.
A little over a year ago I’d wander into Bobby Dodd and the few fans present would want to vomit watching the clown crap. My how things have changed. It didn’t take the biggest turnaround ever in the history of organized sports either.
I'm afraid it has taken the biggest turnaround in the history of organized sports. Clown had turned us into Vandy. Thank you Coach Key! Lets go beat Clemson!
You are correct, sir. It is a huge turnaround, I should have used the word rebuild. We just needed a coach. Looks like we got one. Nice to walk around work and GT football is no longer laughed about. Got a bunch of "where the hell was that team hiding" and "what got into you guys" yesterday at work. Damn sight better than people just shaking their heads and looking away or laughing about how pathetic we'd become.
So, I'm a fourth generation, lifetime, hard line fan of Tech Athletics and football most of all. I went to every Tech-uga game from 1984-2018, and have lived 500 miles from Atlanta since 1999. I also would make the trip to football games 2 or 3 times a season additionally. I could not make the 2019 game due to a family medical emergency, and the next game I attended was 2021 at Notre Dame. I swore off making the effort under the clown, because it was just not worth it. I still watched every excruciating moment of every game under the clown. We would be getting our a** kicked, and he would be on the sideline smiling. Under Coach Key, I've seen a complete change in the effort and the fight of our team. I'm not saying everything is perfect, but I feel like we are building towards something formidable for the first time in 4 or 5 years. At any rate, the reason I'm responding to this post is to say that I'm flying back for Clean Old Fashioned Hate. Tech will not gain any fans by my return, but we will gain 4 Tech fans in the seats, which is not a lot, but I suspect that there are lots more than just me that are excited to make the effort again. LET'S GO TECH, LET'S BEAT CLEMSON!
