Of the ACC was a musician, it would be this guy: Oh wait....it actually is that guy. My point exactly.

Doesn't look like Bradley is too impressed w/ our schedule either - but in a different way Tech’s 2010 schedule doesn’t set up for another title run

Tech will do well to go 8-4 next season Given the away schedule and our loss of players, I concur.

I think UNC, VPI, and UGA are the only games that are more likely for us to lose...Every other one I'd give us better than a 50% chance of winning. I'd say 9-3 possibly 10-2 if we get unlucky we go 8-4 if we get lucky go 10-2.

We can aruge about Auburn, TN, UF, etc...being "down" but all I see on our schedule is a questionable at best Celmson, Miami and VT, which are down too. UNC is decent but a nobody. Every year is "their year to rise" but they fall flat every year, I mean they are UNC.+1 +1 GT will never immerse itself into the fabric of the Metro Atlanta Area and therefore grow & cultivate more Sidewalk-Alums with a garbage-ass, crappy-ass Home Schedule like that. If I were an Alum from some NE-USA College that didn't have any CFB and I were relocated to the Metro Atlanta Area and had been here for 3 years or so, and I was looking for a CFB Team to follow, "since that's what the Locals do", there's NO WAY IN HELL I'D EVER FOLLOW GT FB OR ATTEND A HOME GAME with that kind of garbage-ass Home Schedule. GT is located in a Metro Area, the MSA of Atl. is roughly 5.5 Million people, you cannot play that kind of home schedule and expect Fans to follow GT FB, you gotta go out and get some big-time OOC Games in order for GT to "be talked about" on ESPN and in the local Media. The year that GT had ND in town (2005?) that first Labor day Weekend GT FB was talked about the ENTIRE SUMMER on local Sports Talk Radio here in Atl., that's what GT needs EACH YEAR for about 5-7 years in order to really grow some sidewalk-Alums into becoming lifelong GT fans. Opponents like SC State, MTSU, Elon, Jax St., Vandy et al only DAMAGE GT's reputation in the eye of Fence-Sitting Fans, and once they go to support other College Teams, GT will never get them OR THEIR CHILDREN. And please don't mention Texas/Bama/Florida, GT is NOT any those schools and the people we have to Market CFB to are nothing like those Communities where those Schools have to Market their CFB to, so please cease with the, "look at who Florida plays" replies. At some point GT has to stop talking about "Eliteness" and actually go out and execute some Eliteness in the Marketplace for CFB fans.

Interesting that you finally agree with most of us on this point. I remember specifically aruging that these schools pander to a different demographic, to which you would reply that it made no difference and the difference lay in GT's ice-hole alumni, but that's neither here nor there. I agree with your points on scheduling, I think D-Rad is putting too much faith in the return of Miami, strength of Clemson, and staying power of VPI. If those 3 teams are consistently strong though. It's hard to look at our schedule is weak. We'd have 4 perrenially strong teams on it every year, with a chance to have some other strong teams in the rest of the Coastal (like UNC this year) or in our other Atlantic scheduling. After that though the rest of the schedule becomes decent at best. I'm not sure how long it will take Miami to be "back" or if it will ever happen. As for VPI, I think they will continue to be good so long as Beamer is there, but I think Clemson is on the decline. We'll see though. Last edited on Fri Feb 5th, 2010 03:43 pm by GTCrew4 |

With the recruiting classes they pull in, and selling points for the school (great stadium, great atmosphere, great girls, lower academic standards), I'd imagine them to field 8-9 win teams consistently with the occasional 7 or 10 win season sprinkled in.

Every year is "their year to rise" but they fall flat every year, I mean they are UNC.+1 I'm with Wrecks on this one: I have new family with me, and season tickets. Previously, they were Michigan and Mizzou fans. How am I supposed to get them excited about driving 3 hours to ATL to see SC State, Dook, NC State, or Middle Tennessee? That leaves Miami, and UVA as decent opponents. Imagine I'm not a ticket holder. Do you think I'm going to spring for a ticket to see any of these games? Heck No. I'll likely spring for tickets in order to support the team and in order to get tickets for the Mutts so that I can see #3 son march with the Redcoats. But I'm seriously thinking of getting out of my Tech fund seats into the cheap seats. If I want good seats for Miami or UVA, then buy them separately. It will cost less. I can still get tickets to see the Mutts. I can't see paying Tech Fund prices to see SC State, Jax State, Middle Tennessee, etc. with the commute expense to go along with it. Two home games in November- BRRRR!

The Kansas home/away series should have started with us getting the home first because of this schedule.

The schedule is fine, just the home/away breakdown is off. I wish there was some way we could alter the UGA series. If our home schedule was SC State, NC State, Virginia, Miami, Duke, UGA (switched with MTSU) that would be pretty good. Or we could just go ahead and start scheduling 7-8 home games like they do in the SEC and Big 10. I don't know how they're allowed to get away with scheduling no nonconference road games. That's just ridiculous.

Really man? The thread was about the schedule. Nobody said anything along the lines of: "Oh man, what an exciting home schedule! Bobby Dodd Stadium is gonna be packed this year!" Also, people who come down here from the NE aren't just gonna pick up college football. They might come by GT for a symphony performance at the Ferst center, but not for football. Bringing up Florida is a whole 'nother point. They don't have to do any marketing because they're F-ing FLORIDA. It's easy to have tons of fans when you're in the National Title AND Heisman race every year. Why do you want to pick up sidewalk fans so bad? Do you not feel comfortable with a small fanbase? Would it tickle your mustache to see every game be a sellout? I'm trying to understand where you're coming from, because honestly, I don't understand it. I'm not sure why the number of people in the stadium affects you so much. Do you need the approval of the rest of society to root for GT? If we had 10,000 more fans in the stadium for each home game, how does that affect you personally? Last edited on Fri Feb 5th, 2010 08:38 pm by pckl300 |

Lots of foks around here like to bitch about not selling out games and the whole fallacy of "win and they will come"...then blame the GT fanbase/alumni for being piss poor fans. Peronsally, I like the small fan base...I know its not good for exposure/recruiting/revenue...but I like being the little guy (for a change  )Other than that, I totally agree with you. I was going to up my seats to a donation area until I saw the schedule. Think I'll wait til next year.

It really does look like a ten win schedule. How would last year's team goals of undefeated at home, win the division, win the ACC look for this year?

Clem, Vt, Miami is the worst stretch, but because the VT game is a thursday night, we get a long week for that one and the Miami game. But, by definition, they get a few extra days to prepare for us and our wishbone attack.

Notable thoughts/findings:We improve as the season goes on, regardless of our hiccups with Georgia and Iowa last year, we were a far superior team in November than we were against Miami early and you are oh so correct about needing time to become accustomed to the 3-4.
