Which you guys totally understand - Mizzou and aTm pushed you down a bit. Still crazy how quickly the milktoasts impacted the East like that. Strange times. Strange times, indeed.

Texas A&M? They finished 6-2 in the SEC in 2012 (we were 7-1) and 4-4 in the SEC in 2013 (we were 5-3).

Manziel got a lot of hype but they are 10-6 in the SEC thus far and will lose at least 4 more this fall.

Yes, but what was your record against the West in those years?

In those two years we were 3-1 vs. the west and Texas A&M was 2-2 vs. the East.

Good effort though.

Who's shite talking? I'm against the whole Louisville thing. They are going to whip us like we're redheaded stepchildren. They are purely a sports school. It's like allowing Auburn into the ACC.

We'll give y'all Louisville and we will take Vandy. That's as it should be.

Ah don't sugar coat it. His effort was wretched.

I'm starting to think the nerds just stick around so they can hang out with the cool kids.

Which is okay, I guess. It's nice to have a ready supply of lunch money for the taking and their nasally whimpering is somewhat amusing when we hang them up by their tighty-whiteys.

While the ACC does have better academics than the SEC overall, the conference has had more probations in the last few years.

Georgia Tech, Miami, and UNC (looks like more to come here) were all on probation during the 2012 season. That was half of the ACC Coastal for those of you scoring at home.

Honestly Clemson is a better parallel for Auburn. Everyone knows both schools are paying large amounts but are able to avoid punishment.

Oh, porch puppy to the rescue with typical tired cliches about nerds and whatnot.

Back on the porch, puppy! Git!

We both know GT's probation was bullshite.

I hope UNC rots in hell, but I'm not holding my breath.

And, yes, Clemson is truly the most SEC-like school in the ACC, but I enjoy playing them every year. They stay. Take Louisville.

Which probation was bull shite? There have been a couple in recent years.

I agree that Tech isn't doing stuff on the level of a lot of schools, I just enjoy poking fun at the "football factory" nonsense I hear from Tech people when the NCAA violations tell a different story.

Dude, if Tech is a "football factory" then we are the worst football factory ever. The shite Tech got picked apart for in 2012 had everything to do with DRad's actions with the NCAA and not anything to do with the actions of students athletes.

2005 was likewise an issue with personnel.

LINK

These are the only two times Tech has ever had any real issue with the NCAA and both were total BS, especially in comparison to the Jan Kemp years at UGAg, Auburn's blatant purchasing of players, Miami, UNCheat, etc.

The only story the violations tell is that GT got hosed much in the same way UGAg got hosed on Green and the jersey fiasco.

I agree that Tech isn't a "football factory". Would you also agree that with yall's recent history of troubles with the NCAA it is a bit absurd to call UGA a "football factory"?

P.S. every school refers to their violations as bullshite

No, I would not. What Tech does or doesn't do has no bearing on UGAg's football program - a program that seems to consistently recruit less-than-college-material athletes, many of whom end up kicked off the team or asked to leave. I call that a factory school. Embrace it. Your cousins over in Tuscaloosa have and look how it's working out for them.

Y'all should really top pussy-footing around it. Your program cares about winning above all else, as does your fan base. High time you started owning that shite.

Great. Louisville. SEC academics without the quality football.

In other words, total shite.

Jacket, while what Tech does has no bearing on if UGA is a "factory" it does have bearing in the whole glass houses/rocks sort of way.

Also, can you see how these two statements might contradict one another?

Tell me the last starter Bama kicked off their team. By my recollection it was 2007.
