re: Georgia Tech...just pitiful.

Vandy press room is busier than that

Give me a fricking break lol

the guy you responded to didn't say they were on equal footing. He said that the gap has shrunk over the last 15 years. Honestly I don't see any way one could possibly disagree with that statement, it's an objective fact. Tech has always been an elite academic institution but even through the 90s UGA was pretty easy to get into. After HOPE all that changed obviously and the average incoming freshman to UGA this fall has well over a 4.0+ GPA and SAT score of over 1350. To claim that those are no different than in 2008 is simply ignorant.

And yet Georgia schedules them as a cupcake every year

Fair points, but UNC has won division titles in 2022 and 2015.

New OC came from our staff, Monken’s right hand Buster Faulkner.

I always thought of Todd Hartley as monken's right hand, more so than Buster Faulkner.

Well you were incorrect. Faulkner followed Monken to his last 2 college stops and was an OC at MTSU. He was an off field analyst at UGA but his role was communication guy between Monken and Stetson.

New HC is GT alum who wants to make them succeed again.

No, he wants to succeed so he can move on to a better job. Coaches don’t think like fans,

True, but Hartley was the guy setting next to him in the booth on gamedays going over papers and shite.

SC was in the ACC in 69? I had forgotten that. Though they came in later than that.

Here we go again. GT fans are RICH! RICH!!!
Georgia fans are hardly paupers. Georgia has more millionaires and billionaires in a huge fan base than Tech can count. Where do you think all money that Georgia has comes from?
It’s not tax money that supports our sports programs. It’s money from generous donors - large and small - who take pride in Georgia and don’t mind ponying up money to help them have success. Million dollar plus gifts are common.
GT talks a big game but it’s no secret that they are in deep debt and their “millionaires” don’t give a damn. They are frugal to say the least. Can’t pry money out of them with a crowbar.
I’ve known a lot of GT grads over the years. Only a few I’d call truly wealthy. The others are middle class at best and for some reason most of them are salesmen - even many with engineering degrees. Selling everything from medical supplies, sporting goods, and novelties to insurance.
Their fan base whines about the
“ high “ cost of tickets ( last I heard season tickets holders - other than those seated in a yellow painted area of the stadium that is usually 3/4 empty on game days - are not required to donate $ to have the privilege of purchasing tickets. They will walk a mile or more to their stadium to save a few bucks on parking. I know this first hand having once gone to a game with a GT grad. He is a relative. He and his GT buddies had a favorite parking place that was at least a mile away. I was told it was a lot cheaper and a nice walk was good for you. It was raining and non too warm that day. But hey he saved 15 bucks.
Another GT fellow I know was invited to play in a foursome at a private country club. He had bragged non stop for years about his GT degree and the huge amounts of money it brought him. When told the game was at a private club he said it was too expensive and wanted the group to go to a public course where they had special rates in the late afternoon.
Don’t believe it when Tech starts bragging about their wealth. They have a few very wealthy alums but the vast majority are not truly rich. They just like to pretend like they are
