Message: [QUOTE="44USMC, post: 17939"] My last contribution I give the attribution to my wife, a native of Rome, GA, and who has lived in Atlanta. Georgia residents generally don't care about Georgia Tech, even if it is in Atlanta. They care about Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Auburn who are all within a couple of hours of the city. While it would be fun to have a tournament there, it just doesn't have the same potential as a loyal or isolated ACC regional city. The ACC is better off elsewhere with big events- that is unless they can lure Georgia to their conference. Most of all, really, it's out of the way. And like I said, I live down here. People don't care about G'Tech unless they went there. If G'Tech was important, people would talk about it. At least, not anywhere near the scale they do about the SEC. My wife knows one G' Tech alumni who doesn't even root for his own school. Prayers in the area are generally "Roll Tide" and "Go Dawgs". Sorry. [/QUOTE]
