Please, that 1990 team is the weakest team to win a natty in 50 years. The only team close is 84 BYU. As far as being the best at the end of the year Colorado, Washinton, FSU, and Miami would have beaten you at the end. And I just looked it up, you guys won by one friggin vote. Weak.

Tom Osborne disagrees.

Tldr last 5 pages. So forgive me if anything here germans.

I grew up in Atlanta. The entire state of Georgia roots for Georgia.

Historically, GT has been a great team. The Heisman trophy is named after their head coach in the 1920s or 1930s. They were the first program to win all of the big 4 bowl games (sugar, rose, cotton, sun (now orange)) and they won the Natty in 1990 (or technically shared with Colorado).

I am a GT fan and I would love for GT to be in the SEC. but it would never happen. GT is about academics. They recruit mathletes. The culture is just not there at GT. I'd love to be wrong, but Tech fans just don't have the rabid, passionate fan base that you see in the SEC.

Tech fans, FWIW it's been a pretty good run. The 90s were awesome when the ACC was dominant and expanding with other power houses VT and Miami. But here and now it is all SEC.

For Tech to get better, they need to play in to what the football players want. They have top notch facilities, but kids want to play in bigger stadiums, in a non-gimmick offense, in front of passionate fans.
