Needed this news this week - now let’s go SPEND IT!

Spend it all on DL's, Edge Rushers and DE's??? Yes please..

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

You’re welcome, guys and gals.

Don’t think this will go to recruiting the portal… probably upgrading the Dodd and for some reason the basketball facilities

 

[GTJacket Fan]

That's amazing!

Maybe not directly but every dollar going to those places frees up a dollar we had planned for them - everything matters!

After reading many “ the sky is falling” comments on several posts recently, I just think we need to take a couple of steps back from the edge.
We have something at our Alma Mater , that we have had only rarely in our history. And I am very optimistic about the future of sports right now. Why, you may ask ?
Simply put, we have the ideal alignment of a “ pro sport “ President - probably the most “pro” we have ever had. Next, our previous AD was replaced by one at least equal to, if not better. And finally, we have a HC in football that gets “TECH” and loves “ TECH “!
In these turbulent times in sports, we have the perfect people in place to guide our teams through this . Relax !
Just my 3 ( inflation ) cents.

If Tech continues to get serious about college football, we have the money to make some serious noise! I love this!

Maybe it was the Faulkner and Philo families returning what we paid them plus interest.

You’re welcome, guys and gals.

I thought you and me were not going to tell anyone,

Remember Ryan, I give that to you for free beer.

Grateful people with this potential see and support the vision.

On related notes whenever folks take potshots at Tech fans and alumni for not giving enough...

2024 A-T Fundraising shatters record

From 2 days ago, the huge impact of GT Football.

Numbers reflect growth, impact of GT FB

Not all athletics, but Tech folks give back...

Over $300M raised towards ongoing Full Steam Ahead initiative

...but, Athletics will benefit.

Athletics view of Full Steam Ahead initiative

Contrary to popular baloney and unfounded slanderous potshots, Tech is not poor. Not even close.

Tech fans (love em or hate em) are typically smart with their money. They will not put good money after bad (waffle house loser) but will strongly invest in a solid winning plan. That is why I still feel like there is a tremendous untapped potential for additional funding. They want to see strong plans and details of how the money will be used and the expected results of using that money vs downside of not spending it.

I think Tech athletics fund raising really needs to step up and be the best at communications in the industry with their fans/donors. There is a sweet spot missing where I think you could get 20,000-30,000 fans to donate between $5K and $10K based on a clear plan and roadmap. On top of the big donations.

As an example: Put out a 5-10 point document fans can use so they can help convince their significant other this is a smart thing to do

Look at all the friction points to funding and reduce each one

Of the now $30 million we got stockpiled, use $20 million on big time portal players and coaches and then use the rest to buyout Stoudamire and completely start over on the bball front.

I know he was awful but we as a community have got to stop letting him ruining Waffle House for us. We’ve had enough time to heal since our breakup, and it’s time we started asking for our things back.

If Anthony Bourdain liked Waffle House, who cares about TFG’s opinion?

(Or mine, I’ve been there a bunch)

Best waffle house video as so many us have visited in the exact same circumstance.
