On the attendance note in general, the ticket prices are way too high.

08 for Georgia? Didn't realize it was so long. Is that when Polk coached?


Polk was only at UGA for the 2000-2001 seasons.

It’s the end of the dynasty.
Only conference champs should get AQ spots.

There at least needs to be a total roster Salary Cap and a Salary Limit for players. Make it like the NFL, then at least you get a little parity and not just the programs capable of milking their mega donors of mega cash to buy a player.

But if they player doesn't perform, he doesn't get paid.

If it's gonna be "pay for play" then these primadonna's better "perform".


Once again, the schools are not party to the NIL contracts. You can cap the revenue sharing, but not NIL.
UMASS fits about as well as Mizzou does.
Kelly got the GVSU machine rolling. Unfortunately, it got rolling against Valdosta State in 2002. Chuck Martin was on that staff and took over when Kelly left for Central Michigan.

Yeah. There's no way softball will make it to its third straight Super Regional or that baseball will be in contention for a top seed.

He's just a one-trick pony... (see what I did there).
He's out-coaching the rest of the league by a long shot, especially at QB.

What he's done this year has been amazing. The opening QB immediately went down with an injury. The backup later went down. He got a few games out of #3 who then also went down.

He's still in the hunt with his 4th QB.

That 4th QB played for him at LT and was on the Stallions for the first two seasons. He was with them in camp but retired rather than be the #3.

They were moving into position for the winning FG yesterday, but the RB fumbled.
The schools are not party to NIL contracts. They can't cap them.

It hasn’t been announced but watching the chips fall, it seems likely a 3:30 kick, no?

Egg Bowl announced as a noon game while Texas vs Texas A&M has also been moved to Black Friday and will kick at 7:30.


Funny. This exact post, word for word, is on the UGA Rivals page under a different user name with a photo of Kirby Smart as the profile pic.

Looking like it'll be Saturday according to this with no Thursday game.


It's on Friday.

Him going to the draft makes me believe that some of the NIL figures are quite overinflated for what is reported, and what they are actually receiving


This. The "valuations" are based on "potential influence". That does not necessarily, and likely doesn't, translate into the player getting paid that much.

Social media revenue is typically based on "impressions", the actual number of times the ad is seen. For example, If a contract is for $1 per impression up to 10,000 impressions, the contract is worth $10K, obviously, but if it only generates 500 impressions, it's only $500.
Starters:

James Jackson: 1984-1987, 19-2-2
Wayne Johnson: 1985-1988, 14-4
Quincy Carter: 1998-200, 22-9
D.J. Shockley: 2002-2005, 10-2

Hines Ward played in six games exclusively as a QB. 1-4.

Joe Dupree started one in 1990 and played in four others.
D'Wan Mathis started the opener in 2020.

quote:

It's well-known Beck wanted to transfer (specifically to FSU) and actively tried to get several teammates to go with him, only to learn he was unable to transfer (and be eligible immediately) because of his grades.


It's so well known that this is the first I've ever seen it referenced.
The coaches must have thought he was the best chance to win or they wouldn't have kept putting him out there.

...and recognize the source.
