And, they have to suffer being a member of a Power Conference and find more places to spend ACC revenue.

I see a lot of parallels between the SMU program and GTech. (Academic school in a major city, small alumni base that is drowned out by SEC and ACC alums in their city, "eccentric" head coach who runs a "unique" offense, new basketball area) Tech football is so far off of the radar here in metro Atlanta. They do have that AAU thing going for them, and they are a state school. but ttheir alumni are not happy about the current state of affairs in their athletic department. We do have a better bball team than them. I would like to see us play them in football. A home and home with them would help recruiting at both of our universities.

I think that's a good idea, especially with Navy joining the conference. It would be good to see an option-based offense more than once a year

How many people jumped off the cliff when we didn't hire Paul Johnson

they were right. we would be better off with him now.

Still better attendance than the UCF game last year

DANG that doesn't even look as good as the ALLEN STADIUM with the cracks.

I've always wondered what would have happened if we'd hired Johnson instead of JJ. Seems like a similar problem with him at GT: runs a weird offense, they want him gone, and he doesn't really want to be there. Kind of weird how the two situations ended up paralleling each other. Paul didnt get a Hall of Fame basketball coach to come to GT, though.

It holds about 40,000. They only sell out for Clemson and UGA. They played Syracuse last year, and I bet they drew 8,000 max. Middle Tennessee worked them a couple of years back at the Georgia TEch stadium. They do schedule cupcakes so they finish at 6-6 every year. I think they beat Southern Cal in a bowl came a couple of years back.

GT's Bobby Dodd Stadium has 55,000 seats. It is the oldest on-campus stadium in D1A.

Can we stop this already? June Jones did not get Larry Brown to come to SMU. He called and offered him encouragement when Big O didn't want to interview him at first. I think John Calipari, Jay Wright and Bill Self, among other BBALL coaches , calling Orsini on behalf of Larry had a billion times more influence than June Jones calling Larry Brown.

June has been playing this up to try and save his [deleted]. He's grasping at straws and he's even getting some of you to believe him.

I was being facetious.
