It's not so much the empty stands. Because there are lots of places where the fan base is ambivalent to spring football. There's no shame in that. What's great is the juxtaposition of Tech fans' desperate desire to be a real football school with the fact that they don't care enough collectively to do the things required to be one. If you were a college football recruit who made an unofficial visit to Athens last week and one to the Flats this week, how jarring would be the contrast?
Also, it was really nice of Mark Richt to let those people hang out at his place in the city while he's down at the beach.
