Another perspective, from the "Anti-Orange" page (and UGhA site):

"Alumni? I give you Goldtimer as exhibit A. A more supercillious, self important spin doctor you will not meet this side of the Iraqi Minister of Information...and at least Baghdad Bob could see the ship be sinkin' and he threw in his beret. Not Goldtimer. The recent academic neutron bomb hasnt discouraged him. Getting whupped by UGA doesnt discourage him. Miami and Syracuse and BC coming in to move GTU another 3 rungs down the ACC pecking order doesnt discourage him. God bless his optimistic nature, but he's stridently self righteous about how much better people GTUers are. And totally wrong."

Consider the perspective, I'll take that as a compliment.
