I could see an Auburn type environment in Athens if Georgia could find some sustained success in shooty hoops. Georgia has loyal fans, and you guys would support basketball if the program became successful, I have no doubt.

UGA supports a lot of other sports programs when they're doing well. We'll show up to see a winning baseball team, basketball team or gymnastics team.

What we don't do is have fan pressure when those programs aren't doing well. Yeah, we showed up when Jim Harrick and Tubby Smith were winning games at UGA. But there's a reason why Dennis Felton and Mark Fox combined to coach 15 years of basketball in Athens. There's no pressure to get guys out who aren't horrid. If they're just "meh", they survive because of that.
