Yep, the "EAST" as it was previously known, was a Georgia peach for Kirby.

Anytime UGA loses a game, its the refs.................they claimed the refs helped us, and they are claiming the refs helped ND. I showed pics to a UGA fan of their dbs riding the backs of Bama receivers in the NC game, but the refs still helped Bama

No, and they laugh about the refs helping them............but let a call go against them and they raise cane

the most geoergia picture ever

 

[davefrat]

I have no sympathy for the dogs...none...zero...nada.

 

[DrollTide]

Just heard on Talking Ball that ND won $14M bowl money for their conference ... which is ND.

That guy is going to have to go into hiding. Witness Protection, or witless protection, as it were.

I would have sympathy for him, but he chose to attend the University of Georgia.

Lanning thought he had too much of a hotbed to stoop to taking the Alabama job, when in fact if he had, he would have had a roster better matched with OSU. I know they won earlier in the season, but I contend that Oregon’s style of play is never going to win when it counts the most.

Funny. Miami “stole” Cristobal from Oregon…a very good recruiter but an awful in game coach. And Oregon replaced him with? A very good recruiter but terrible in game coach.

Granted that some of Lanning’s issue could be related to lack of head coaching experience. But I enjoyed seeing him getting a great big piece of humble pie on Wednesday.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

@92tide and @DzynKingRTR have to be going through this am like....

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

Hopefully, but this bunch will not be humbled by this at all.

Which makes it even better...

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

With Beck they win. But they had a QB who was just not ready.

That's on the HC.

Bowl-cut should have played Stockton more in mop-up duty rather than pad Beck's stats...

 

[B1GTide]

Its ironic B10 fans are pounding their chests when they've basically used NIL/the portal to get SEC players....imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

SEC teams have taken players from all over the country, too. It is what it is.

Agreed, but he learned from Saban.

You ever heard Stan White calling an awbern game...?

 

[TideEngineer08]

SEC teams have taken players from all over the country, too. It is what it is.

We've gotten several from California (and Hawaii!) over the Nick Saban era.

But the core has always been from Texas back through the south to the east coast. And the majority of the NFL talent that's flowed through the SEC over these last 20 years or so has come from that same geographic footprint.

This is something SEC schools are going to have to reckon with. Ohio State and to a lesser extent Penn State have a very nice pool of high school talent to draw upon. Michigan as well due to the talent base in the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. But if these Big Ten schools can now cherry pick (buy) talent already on SEC rosters...

One year does not make a trend. But we will see how this continues to develop. My one prediction is that, absent massive reform, it does not benefit the SEC at all.

Yep............same thing. UGA and AU are like cousins from the wrong side of the track
