I can only speak as the son in law of a "ranked" athletics donor who's endowed a few atheltics scholarships and go to the funcitons for free booze with him and enjoy the theater of their misery. So when you say "I don't think GT alums want to...." I'm just telling you what the people (alums) who write 7 or 8 figure checks to the institution say in their own private parties. They won/shared a national championship with Colorado in 1990. Until UGA won this last year GT had a more recent national title than they did...coda wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 3:11 pmThat is quite a leap. GT left the SEC in the early 60s. The SEC wasnt held in the same esteem then, as they are now. That is just an odd thing to bring up. Georgia Tech is small school (sub 20k). I dont think GT alums want to compare the infrastructure between GT and Georgia. Historically they are probably in the 25-30 area in college football. UNC is 5th in NCAA tournament appearances (33, situated between Cuse and Cornell). They have 5 NCs. If we are comparing UNC lax to football, I would say they are more like Texas or Tennessee. They are Blue Blood or at least right outside that line.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 2:54 pmMany high dollar alums keep pointing to a title in 1990, their former SEC affiliation and the name Bobby Dodd as to why they should be on the same plane at UGA and Clemson. Every day of the week and twice in Sunday. The only pushback they ever hear is when my father in law takes me to the functions and I hit the open bar hard…
That and as a investment banker to community and regional banks covering 15 states at one point with HQs all over the country and me covering Little Rock to Lousiville to S FL to ultimately Maine I have traveled throughout the SE and taken most of these clients to every major football or BB event in the SE in the last 10-15yrs.
This is idiotic we have 20yrs of evidence that they aren't there. TX, TN and UGA didn't have 20yrs like this. There's some fans who are living in the past and making it seem much longer and moire robust than it was in spite of the actual evidence solely to make the case that they are right and that Breschi is defintely the ONLY reason they aren't doing better and before him everything was different.
