They are a decent sized school in a good sized growing state. They had success at FCS. There's nobody else in the southern half of the state. They are in a really good area for talent. And there is really only one other school that is competition for fans in their area-UGA. Georgia Tech's appeal is fairly limited since it is much smaller and historically used to be pretty much just an engineering school.

All the rest sounds good, except for the bolded part. That's like me being locked in a cage with a 900-pound gorilla, and someone on the outside saying "well, you should be optimistic, because there really is only one other creature in that cage you have to compete with to get out" ...
