“[In football] Georgia Tech can win nine or 10 games. They will never do that consistently. That’s my feeling…”
Quiz time. Who said this? A rabid UGA fan? A recruiter for another school trying to sway a player to his team and away from GT?
Bzzzz… Time’s up…
The answer is Dave Braine, Athletic Director for Georgia Tech.
He gave this statement as an excuse for why he gave Chan “six-wins-and-a-no-name-Bowl” Gailey a 5-year extension to his contract. What player in his right mind would want to play for Georgia Tech, when its own AD has no faith whatsoever in your ability to rise above mediocrity?!?!
I’m a GT alumnus, and I’m now glad that my football-playing nephew is a UGA fan. God forbid he should even consider playing under Braine when he’s older.
More recently, rumor has it that Braine is going to suspend the entire football team for making him look foolish — like he needs any help — for beating #3 Miami on Saturday.
