SEC Open Thread

[BeauBenken]

I think Kirby said it and I believe it, he didn’t even realize who he was shoving just that a player was in his way.

Some of the shine on this program is starting to turn to rot for me.

Kind of reminds me of a program in Gainesville back in 2005-2010.

In addition, the Georgia football team's latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate from last December was among the bottom 15 of about 5,800 Division I teams in any sport, according to NCAA data. It was the second-worst among the division's 260 football teams and the worst, by far, among the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

Georgia was one of nine power conference schools to exceed what the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, a college sports watchdog organization, dubbed the “crossover point” in a 2022 study. The threshold is applied to schools that are spending more on the salaries of their football head coach and 11 full-time assistant coaches than on athlete scholarships, medical expenses and financial aid for the entire athletics department.

Same thought.

For you, maybe. I never at any point cared for that bunch.

The parallels in terms of on and off the field culture are certainly similar, though.

Georgia made Kirby Smart college football's highest-paid coach. But at what cost?

Kirby Smart was rewarded for turning Georgia football into a national power, but off-field issues involving his players have complicated the optics.

Here it is. This is a very good piece.

This is what you get when you recruit athletes that aren’t students. They are a respectable football team in wins but not character.

This week's SEC Shorts is savage as the SEC Fraud Interrogator checks the honesty of some of the conference teams . The new girl (first appearance in the franchise) is an absolute smoke show.

Smoke show indeed! Still lovin' the Vandy vibes. I see them going 6-6, maybe 7-5 and getting back to a bowl game for the first time since 2018.

My favorite line was, "I hate it for ya... I don't." She was so sugary sweet and snarky evil at the same time. Even though it's at my team's expense, I have to admit the Vandy vibe thing is great!

She's a big internet personality. Lauren Cantrell. Does southern mom impressions

Five previous meetings between Texas and UGA. I'm hoping this game ends up being similar to UGA vs Bama a few weeks ago. Really want to see a good one.

I have no idea about this one. I'm not certain if Texas is really all that or not. Certainly good, but not sure if they're legit #1 good. Georgia is hard to read too. Very good team working out the bugs or just an OK team?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I think it will be hilarious if Texas wins the SEC their first year in it.

Jared Curtis a 5 star 26 QB Georgia commit has reopened his recruitment. Doubt we will become a player, but it would be nice to kick the tires

Why not us

 

[Irish#1]

Why not us

He had offers from Ohio St., Bama, Texas and Oklahoma.

It would sure rub A&M the wrong way after they've always been basically #3 or worse when it was still split by divisions.

Always us vs the world. Even when it’s not

Most people thought it would be tough, but no one thought they couldn't win that game.

 

[BeauBenken]

I think no one picked them on college gameday.

Also going back on that PI call was suspect at best. Might’ve been the right call but that was a bad look.

Very much so... they should have emptied the student section after that at the very least.

It's Georgia against the world!

I didn't watch. Did he cry like Sherrone Moore?

Sooners worse home loss in a long long time. Longhorn’s got handled big time

This isn't even cliche anymore. It's broken record water torture. Boring.

Football locker rooms are insulated and you're all in a bubble where no one outside of the bubble likes you. We all get it.

Texas fined $250k for the bottle throwing...
