Well as far as a potential riff, I dont' really know but I do know he seems to talk mad shite about us whenever someone asks his opinion. So he seems bitter about something.

As for his legacy, idk. He was good for us and won an SEC title, but buck won a lot more. Personally I think buck is overrated as hell. The thing is all our players in history that are REALLY celebrated (sinkwich, herschel, buck, pollack, etc) all won big time. Fran was a good QB but he didn't really win anything other than an SEC title.

aaaahhhhhh so that's why you hate us so much eh?

but as to your point, most casual fans attending UGA haven't heard of him for the reasons I mentioned above. Unless you've been raised a diehard since birth, most students will have only heard of the big name people.

To be fair, I hated you before. Then I went to UGA, grew to like Athens and became a little more civil. I graduated the year before 2010 and Cam, and it threw me right back into hatred.

I can understand re: Fran's comments, which always seem at least somewhat harsh. But, with such a strong pro career, I still think it's a little weird UGA doesn't claim him more.

Buck is the most overrated QB in the history of College Football. You hear more about Buck because he is still around and Fran you know actually has a life and did other things.
