Is it freshwater only? Other than the Pacific Ocean, my area is a bit desert-y for much fishing.

If he can be considered a "loss". Yes, on the one hand, he didn't play for Georgia, but on the other hand, he didn't play for Georgia. That kind of averages out to a win for us.

He has Brock Vandagriff written all over him.


Another guy who was supposed to win Georgia a couple of national titles, but ultimately didn't even amount to a fart in a hurricane? That's getting to be a pretty big club.

Looking at the Top 25 recruits and not a single one commited to Georgia is just hard to look at.

Then looking again and seeing one that left us for Vandy

Then seeing the number one QB committed to - HOUSTON


How many of those 25 will have moved in the next year? In two years?

It's all a circus right now.
Geez, so technique, talent, and enthusiasm count for nothing, only volume matters. How is the coaching staff ever going to teach the players to take pride in their work? To paraphrase General Patton: God, how I hate the 21st Century.
Definitely increases the heartbreak factor for the losing team

Listen bud… you have to have a killer instinct. You either want to win a Natty or you don’t want to do what it takes… and you settle for non cock sucking mediocrity. If sucking cock is what it takes to win a Natty, you don’t ask what size, you open your mouth and you start sucking. That’s what a real man and fan will do, so their favorite sports club wins it all. It’s about making the sacrifices to win.


This may change recruiting strategy some, and the portal will definitely get a lot more interesting.

Winning the natty and losing to GT and SECG is better than that scenario.


Two losses isn't going to leave much room for error in capturing the title.
quote:

We will have less quality depth. Teams will be older in general. Injuries and coaching will be more important than ever.


Overall, I agree, with a caveat on the issue of quality depth. A lot will now turn on who can find and develop the 2-3 star guys to become that quality depth. So yeah, coaching is about to get a whole lot more important
quote:

Nobody has the potential to dominate long term any more.


Any system can, and ultimately will, be exploited. Someone will figure out how to buy all of the players they want/need, and then it will become a funding arms race. Cheating will also probably become a lot more rampant as programs/boosters figure out ways to circumvent any sort of payment limitations and hide the fact that they are doing so.

I would be interested to see the same list one year from now and how many are still with the same team they sign with.

This is no longer the day of the student-athlete, if ever there was such a thing. He is a very highly paid professional; mockery comes with the territory. Join in if you choose, decline if you choose. It makes no difference to anyone, including Beck.

quote:

Odd take that Beck throws a Pic with 45 seconds left and no time outs in a 6 pt game the natty to prove he sucks.


He has established at least some tendency to choke with the game on the line. "Sucks" may be an overly harsh analysis, but wilting does seem to be a factor.
Miami has actually been in a championship game in living memory. Indiana hasn't.
He already bailed on us twice; no point in giving him a third chance to do it.

Getting agreement on the former would be difficult. Getting agreement on the latter would be easy, but everyone would assume that no one intends to actually be bound by it and simply continue on with whatever they were doing.
Gunner seems to live by Maxim 35: That which does not kill me has made a tactical error.

It's going to take a lot more than that to change this from the current trajectory. Arguably, this year's playoffs were a step in the right direction: so far, other than Ole Miss-UGA and Ole Miss-Miami, all of the games have been really lopsided. The NCAA can't have it's premier games be boring for very long, especially when they overlap with the NFL playoff race and wild card round.

If you can make enough in college, you no longer need the NFL. There's life changing money at the collegiate level, with less commitment of time and effort, and lower risk of debilitating injury. Yeah, you do lose out on extra money, but you'll still be set for life.

I have my doubts, longterm.


The new system is destroying what made college football unique. It will just be NFL (Saturday) but with marching bands.

I suspect what will happen (and may have been the goal all along) is that there will be a re-layering of the sport between the schools that have the bankroll to afford to pay players millions of dollars and those who don't. The big money schools will form/coopt a few conferences and have an expanded playoff.

The other schools will take other conferences, have a regular season with some bowl games at the end, and be where most of the player development takes place, with the top talent moving up to the big money league after 1-3 years.

People will still watch it all, but it won't have the passion that the previous version had.
