Its the SEC bias in the article that assumes if they're not going to the SEC, they suck. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, on the same token, you then must count all the SEC caliber recruits from Georgia going to the ACC and other conferences. I wonder if a study has been done showing the total number of BCS signees from each state? I still think Fla would be ahead of Georgia.

I think the writer was trying to show that since the SEC is generally regarded as the Best CFB Conf., those with inside knowledge of CFB like HCs & Recruiting Coordinators come to Ga. to stock their CFB Programs, I don't think he was trying to do a Ga. vs. Fla. Comparison, but he was using the recruiting habits of SEC schools to show that Ga. is very highly regarded when it come to producing "Elite BCS Caliber CFB Talent". Ga. has been a solid #4 in numbers of D1-A players produced and a solid #4 in numbers of Ga. HS Players that make NFL rosters for about the last 10 years and they are inching closer to Florida that holds down the #3 spot on both lists.

This fact would still point the athletes seeking the "easy road" to the "factories." Don't kid yourself, most "elite BCS talent" want the path of least resistance to the NFL. double aside: how'd you like my excessive use of " "?

This is true.They have to be fast to outrun the snakes and alligators to make it to age 18.Some even have to be faster than a speeding train or bullet.

I have only mentioned 3 additional majors for GT, and those 3 are Communications, Poli. Sci., and Sociology, and I mentioned those 3 for the express purpose of getting more good looking Females on campus so that GT can have Social Environment closer to a normal College Environment. My question for you is, WHY do you reply to me and use my name specifically when you know that I have never mentioned anything like College Studies or Leisure Studies? That sort of Message Board Etiquette makes you come across as a P-o-S Liar, and I don't have to tell you what P-o-S stands for. At least try to be ethical if you are going to attribute something to someone or give the appearance that you are attributing something to someone. I don't give a sh*t how you use what keys on your keyboard when you type what you want to type, I'm not writing friggin' ENGLISH TEXTBOOKS, I'm talking sports, and CFB at that, and folks like you "wonder WHY" GT can't pick up any Sidewalk Alums to give a crap about GT FB. I guess weasels like you worry more about SYNTAX than friggin' HONESTY!

Second, I never said you said to offer leisure studies or college studies, now did I. Maybe you should brush up on your RC skills? (that's reading comprehension) Thirdly, and most importantly, you completely missed my point. As you were so busy highlighting the part of my post you pissed your panties over, you missed the second part of that very same sentence. Any major GT offers will be hard. The english classes I took at GT were hard as I recall how much time it took to do all the reading and writing assignments for 3 measly hours of credit. Your precious "elite BCS caliber" athletes don't want "hard" when it comes to the classroom nomatter what name you give it. Like I said, they want the "path of least resistance" to the NFL.

MrSEC could have saved us a lot of time by just totaling up the # of BCS players signed from each state. Maybe even total them by rank to appease the folks that care about stars. Florida would still have more. (BTW, Miami and FSU signed a total of 29 kids from the state of Florida this year.) Its California, Texas, Florida (in no particular order), then the rest of the states, which, I believe, Georgia is at the top of.

Um, no. This is the Georgia Institute of Technology, not the Georgia Institute of Football Recruiting, or the Georgia Institute of Easy Education. The priorities of the Institute are (in this order): research, research, research, academics, football. And, I'm pretty sure you can major in Modern Language, Sociology, and Political Science. Link to majors. Try again Wrexie; a lack of majors is not the reason we don't have any girls. Though, we don't offer a BA. Even the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts gives BS degrees; they all incorporate science in some way. There's still Calc I, II, and III, and a lab requirement.
