SEC Open Thread

[Rockin’Irish]

Nah, I lived in Georgia for 8 years, zero chance that happens unless Kirby does something really bad like consistently not win 10 games. He gave them their first title in 40 years in back to back fashion. Plus, he's an alum. Unless he starts losing, his job will never be in jeopardy.

I lived in GA for about 10 years so I know where you’re coming from…….I was speaking more about static coming from the administration although if that’s happening, we probably wouldn’t hear much about it. UGA has stepped up their academic status pretty nicely over the past couple of decades so you would think the FB GSR is a discussion point. I know there have been some articles in the AJC about the issue as well as all the legal issues.

Everyone has to admit that, at this point, UGA football's "motor vehicle incidents" - the sheer amount of them - is bizarre...

It's unbelievable Kirby hasn't been able to get a hold of this issue, address it, and correct it.

Agree 100%. Before Kirby led them to his first NC, UGA had been in a longer drought than ND. At this point, he’d need to be caught w/ a dead woman or a live boy to get fired.

Imagine if Eric Dickerson had been a recruit in these times.

Evidently, he has on over-inflated perspective of his value and worth.

Tennessee won last year due to their defense and Baton Rouge's Dylan Sampson running the ball...not Nick I'maleaveya

I'd immediately lock him out of the facilities and move on accordingly. He isn't that good. Hell, I'll say it, he was largely ass on the road and in big games.

- @ Oklahoma 13/21, 194 yds, 1TD/0INT, 8 carries for 15 yds, WIN;
- @ Arkansas 17/29, 158 yds, 0TD/0INT, 11 carries for 17 yds, LOSS;
- Florida 16/26, 169 yds, 0TD/1INT, 8 carries for 1 yd, WIN;
- Alabama 14/27, 194 yds, 1TD/1INT, 9 carries for 44 yds, WIN;
- @ Georgia 20/33, 167 yds, 0TD/0INT, 12 carries for 18 yds; LOSS;
- @ Ohio State 14/31 104 yds, 0TD/0INT, 20 carries for 47 yds; LOSS

If I'm Tennessee, I'm most concerned about Faizon Brandon in how all this plays out. You can't let the Nico contract disrupt getting another 5 Star QB. Not all 5 stars turn out, but some do. Nico is solid but not the phenom he was expected to be. Faizon may still be that phenom.

I figured it wouldn’t be long before we started seeing CFB players “holding out” and not reporting for practice to negotiate NIL deals. This appears to be a possible example of that occurring.

If I were Heupel, I'd tell him to pound sand. If he caves and Tennessee restructures Nico's NIL deal and allows him to come back, he could lose the locker room.

 

[gregm83]

pure speculation, what team would offer more money and similar chance to win ?

 

[tussin]

Wait... was the $8M just to sign?

No it was $8 million over 4 years.

It took me a few reads…and surely it’s intentional…but “raped over at Kohl’s” has to be “raked over the coals.”

Perhaps that's SEC code for meeting up at the Irsay Y?

Listen I’ve been to Kohl’s many times and never been raped, so I’ll not stand for that department store slander.

I've been following this disaster on another forum. It's basically the same issue for about the 20th year in row: different warring booster factions sabotaging everything the others do. They'd rather burn the program to the ground and go 0-12 than have another booster's coach succeed.

I’d be in shambles too if we lost a dude named Shadarius Toodles

Probably the Alabama equivalent of saying “Chester draws” instead of “chest of drawers”. To be fair though a good portion of the Alabama population has been boned at Taco Bell.

We prefer to bone at Taco Casa here in ‘Bama, just to clear things up.

I bet that Khol's is next to this gas station, sweater gawd

They may be a four at a Gulf Coast beach but they’re a nine at Taco Casa. Just sayin’

For those that may not know… Freeze’s family and extended family apparently moves with him when he takes a new job. Just recently, several of those family members have resigned from their jobs. With Freeze apparently spending more of his time on the golf course, and family members leaving their jobs, makes me wonder if there’s something more going on. Hopefully all these recent activities aren’t related to his cancer diagnosis but people are starting to whisper about his immediate future on the Plains.
