Sounds like you need to bitch at Shane Beamer for not recruiting and developing depth,


Sounds good, but the reality is there are more D1 level football athletes in Metro Atlanta than the entire state of SC.

And SC has another significant Power 5 team to compete with in state...

Still crying over your shitty field goal kicker it seems
I ain't crying, I'm just telling the truth. Georgia fans are so insecure. Everyone must brag on them 24/7 or their feelings get hurt.

That’s exactly why you should have better depth. Atlanta is open, and SC should sign them

Your coach is allowed to recruit Metro Atlanta..

GT has 3 commits from players ranked in the Top 11 of SC, you might start rethinking if they are significant.

William Mohan, Savion Herring, Jaylen McCollough, etc. say hello.

Maybe Coach Hype should try giving a speech on how to avoid a felony assault charge.

Our walk ons are better than your starters.
Didn't you get the memo?

Dan Jackson also started in the 2021 NCG against Bama (no one knows this because only Bamas injuries matter).
He may actually be better than your starter.

So you're saying Kirby and Georgia would have put the game before the player and played Harrison?

I didn't say that. I said that your AD indicated Harrison could have played and he did not.

Here is your logic:


I mean, there is a difference in being injured definitely and thinking you might be injured.

Ohio State has a new slogan...."If only...."

And do you really think Georgia fans care if you or any other OSU fan has respect for us?


Ohio State fans think everybody is cowering and saying: "Oh, please Ohio State! Please have respect for us!"

Vol fans worried about speeding.

Rape investigation involves Vols players, Butch Jones confirms

NCAA: 18 violations by Vols under ex-coach Pruitt

Leaked documents shed light on sexual-assault allegations against Peyton Manning and the smear campaign against the alleged victim

Vol fans should probably stay away from pointing fingers.

Right and I get it. But when you have the juggernaut called UGA in your back yard, who do you think is going to be their first choice? Good facilities, outstanding resources, arguable the best coach at the moment, close to home and a pipeline to the NFL. For everyone else, it's a steep hurdle to get over. I don't think there's a soul here that would deny that UGA gets the pick of the litter of Ga recruits and everyone else is fight for scraps, albeit there are some pretty good scraps in the bunch...

And good for UGA. They've been blessed by geography to have a deep talent pool right in their back yard. Would I trade situations with them? You bet. But that's not reality for my school. So, regardless of the pregame banter I talk on here, I'm realistic about the arc of the two programs.

Often not uga. Some don’t like uga, and others aren’t good enough, which leaves tons of recruits. ATL being close should be a plus for your program. Find a coach that can utilize it better.

That has nothing to do with recruiting and depth. Georgia typically does not lock down our state. We recruit nationally. We took 5 recruits of our top 20 last year.

Are you insinuating that Clemson, South Carolina, Florida, Auburn, Alabama and Tennessee does not recruit in Georgia?

Last season Georgia picked up 5 of the top 25 recruits in Georgia. South Carolina got 3, Clemson got 5, Auburn got 3 and the rest were pretty evenly spread among Ohio State, LSU, Alabama and others.

The days of schools having some magical lockdown of talent in their own state has been over for awhile.

Gotcha. But Kirby got here 7 or so years ago and started off recruiting extremely well. It's more (in my opinion) of having a coach wo is fully invested in recruiting and is a very good coach on top of that. Beamer might prove to be a great coach in the future, but it takes time. Smart struggled his first year and made some bad mistakes his firs 3 or so years. But, he learned, and his recruiting helped keep him afloat for awhile.

Obviously, South Carolina does not have the history Georgia does, and it could take a little longer. But I do believe it is a mistake for people to just say, "Georgia has a lot of talent in state!"

While true, we really don't take advantage of it as a whole.
That could open the door for South Carolina. Personally, I hope you guys pass Clemson again and drive them down to the depths.

Point taken, but I think I would counter with this: As you and others have pointed out, right now, UGA doesn't have to. They recruit "nationwide." One could easily make the point that Florida and Texas are more talent rich that Ga. UGa has been able to go to these more important areas (mainly Fla) and get players. Roughly 1/3 of the top 20 players in Fla went to UGA last year (6 out of the top 20).

But my original point still stands. 1. (For the most part), Proximity matters. Recruits tend to gravitate to schools close to home. (For a variety of reasons) 2. Compared to the other states in the conference and region, the talent level in SC is not as great as others.

Add it all up and It puts us at a bit of a disadvantage. And that's our lot in life. I think most SC fans know, understand and accept it.

As I told my buddies this week. I don't think SC got out played or out coached last weekend. We got out depth charted. All one has to do is look at time of possession in the 2nd half to see that. And hey, good for UGA. Win however you can. The Russians in WWII along with many other armies across time have proven that a war of attrition is as valid a way to win as any...

I agree that this does hurt SC. That and Clemson being strong recently. Hopefully this changes. Given the choice, I would prefer SC be strong than Clemson. I just like SC more.

No argument at all. Until South Carolina goes on an extended win streak it will be tough. I thought Spurrier might get everything turned around, but y'all just got him at an advanced place in his career. Had you gotten him 10 years earlier we could be having a completely different conversation.

Agree again. The depth definitely took a toll.

What was time of possession in the first half? And UGAs 4th drive got cut short on the playclock.

Time of possession isn't an argument to base your premise on. UGA won both halves.

Except on the score board...

How many empty possessions did UGA have in the first half?

But really the T.O.P. speaks to the defenses ability to stop the other team. THAT's where the difference in the roster becomes apparent. SC's D ran out of gas and couldn't stop Uga in the 2ng half.
