These kids need some fricking spine. I mean seriously, where is the backbone and pride to stay home and represent the state you were raised in? What draw is there to "Rather than represent the state that made me, the state my parents pay taxes out of their hard earned money to, I'm going to play for Alabama. To hell with helping or giving back to what got me here, I'll play there and never be remembered. Even if I'm the best they ever see, just one fish in the stream."?

Personally my club coach took the job at uf, I went to bama instead. State pride means dick, and even less to athletes who have the opportunity for professional pay afterwards. I was born in Kentucky and never considered them.... I wasn't aware that my countless hours of training obligated me to staying close to home or return to my birth state. Basically after the 97 season I knew I wanted to ride those bama football coattails to glory.

That man has come back from 3 ACL surgeries and a broken forearm to play in the Super Bowl as a Pro Bowler.

He ain't dicking around.

Maybe you Auburn folk should offer to build some new dorms at UGA. Too late to fit you into our family but if you pay for the expansion then I'm sure we can accommodate your children and grandchildren. Don't let them suffer the same fate that you did!

Let me just say that I would be fine with keeping everyone in state. Great idea imo.

Seconded

If we can retroactively take back guys like Jackie Robinson, Cam Newton, Jamal Lewis, Deshaun Watson, Takeo Spikes, and Omar Hunter then I say let's do this shite
