Is this like LSU bragging about having the “winningest coach in NCAA football” when most of those occurred in Div 2?


A) We haven't claimed that
B) Most of his wins are NOT at D2
C) You're retarded

Are you talking about football?

Or the picayune percentage of sports fans that actually watch college baseball (LOL)?

Please tell me which part of this is a lie.

This is all for potential recruits, writing the fact that the new coach at UGA was recently a part of a national championship winning team.

I see no mention of claiming a natty. Sorry they didn't mention LSU in their UGA promo.


Its misleading, odd, and quite frankly pathetic.

It doesn't say anything that's not true, but it leaves out relevant information and uses deceiving symbolism to connect the Georgia Baseball team with the title "2023 College World Series Champion". The graphic fails to clarify that Wes Johnson is Georgia's next head coach and won the 2023 National Championship at his previous coaching position, which ended 2 days ago.

It would be no different than LSU hiring Kirby Smith tomorrow as the head football coach and posting a picture of him in LSU apparel with the words "2023 Football National Champion". It would be ridiculous, just as this is.

A more appropriate graphic would be of Wes Johnson in LSU gear, or added clarification that he is Georgia's new head baseball coach. This would allow Georgia to keep riding LSU's coat tail, but in a more honest way.

It appears the Georgia Athletics marketing department is just as salty as their fanbase. Considering how much Georgia fans have pushed the "baseball is a niche sport" bullshite as of late, this tweet reeks of hypocrisy.

This tweet mentioned LSU with its giant text of "2023 College World Series Champion". Sadly, I'm not sure if a young Skip Bertman could resurrect the abysmal Georgia baseball program.

Oh, you're still on this lie when about 8 million tv's tuned in for the championship series.

I’m pretty sure Kirby used the same tactic when he got hired. Hopefully it works for Wes too

Yep, Sark had his Bama accomplishments, Kiffin same, Brian Kelly ND.

It’s only frowned upon when a coach uses another schools player.

He left behind the chance to win a natty when he took the Georgia job.

Who are they trying to deceive? Only UGA fans, LSU fans on Facebook or Twitter, or college baseball fans in general would care to look at this. I would figure those people would know better.

I don't think this is the case with any serious UGA fan. Only those trolling would spew something like that.

You should never put your logo in front of another teams trophy, let alone 4 logos. If they had Wes holding his little trophy it’d be better.

I, for one, hope UGA gets rolling. East is stacked.

UGA athletic department may be but most college sports fans I know don't give a flying leap about baseball

I am ok with this! The stronger UGA is the better chances of the SEC reign of dominance keeps going
