Nothing worse than tech. Horrible place, horrible people, horrible football, horrible fans.

I always considered them to be an academic institution, but that is just terrible.

Sorry I guess that just regular football practice doesn’t gather the press as much as sexual assaults, vehicular homicide, lawsuits, and retaliatory firings do.

They are recruiting a lot better talent but I’m still not convinced the new coach will be given enough time to turn things around.

I really wouldn't be surprised if GT has serious conversations about dropping football altogether within the next 5-10 years.

Georgia State with Shawn Elliott has won 34 football games since he became HC in 2017 - including a win at Tennessee - GSU is 3-1 in bowl games -

Georgia Tech has won 26 football games since 2017 - Tech is 0-1 in bowl games -

I remember talking to some old timers 45+ years ago and they were telling me about the way it used to be in Atlanta back at the height of the Dodd years. They were all Teck fans. Grant field on a Saturday was the place to be. The state's movers and shakers were all in attendance. Georgia struggled with them back then. I was a small boy when Georgia beat them in Atlanta to break the "drought." Georgia retired the jersey number of the player that scored the TD against Teck. Don't remember what the number was or if it is still retired.

That old fanbase has passed on and right now there aren't a lot of fans in Metro Atl that were around when they last had some success. They were good in 1990 but that was 33 years ago.

I would not be surprised if they eventually dropped football or maybe even start playing at the non-P5 level.

Years ago some football folks in charge made some bad decisions - when Dodd and Teck left the SEC and later on when Bowden and FSU elected to go to the ACC.

And yet UGA fans use them to prop up the schedule every year.

I didn't realize Tech was in such a bad situation. Is this just message board banter or is it really that bad?

They’re going to be better the next few years but they have honestly been one of the worst p5 teams recently so idk how “good” that will make them
