My family is from Georgia, but I've never heard this phrase before. Anyway, an interesting article. I like what Ga Tech students did to the McDonald's billboard near campus. :icon_wink:

Now that's just wrong. You know that Ga Tech is supposed to bow down and worship Georgia. They should feel priveledged to be able to play football in the same state. They should definately pull for Georgia when they aren't playing each other and be so very happy for Georgia. After all, Ga Tech will never be the "state school".
BARF! I do not have to pull for lsu just because they have an l in their name. As for me and my house...we choose Tech.
See how much fun it could be to have at least TWO "big" schools in the same state?
Jindal is not an LSU grad. So far, he's not acting like he's going to listen to a lot of b/s from them. Time will tell. Roemer wasn't either, and he screwed Louisiana Tech royally. I think we will at least get a fair shot for funding from Jindal.
As long as we are funded according to the full formula, that is fine with me. This 80% BS was absolutely ridiculous.
We need to aggressively pursue funding ourselves. We need to do what we have to do to keep the state's funding up, but also pursue external funding with the fervor of a private institution.
Living here in Georgia there is a rivalry but there are 10 UGA fans to maybe 1 Ga Tech fan. The whole state roots for UGA. Ga Tech does not always sell out their games and they do rely for the most part on their Alumni and friends to fill the stadium. Georgia on the other hand is like LSU in that many people going to games never set foot in the Academic halls. Ga Tech I think also suffers because it tends to have a smaller undergrad enrollment than its graduate enrollment.
I am mentioning this because even though we are striving to become a major athletic force in Louisiana we will always be Tech (which I am glad of). What I mean is that even the successful Tech's in most of the other states still have to dwell in a shadow of the 'State' school; but it was their own decisions and drive that got them to where they are.
