Bingo. There is so much that Gus could have benefited from being the OC under a real experienced HC.

Our bagmen need to get their shite together. Kirby is going the cheat your arse off the first couple of years to build momentum and then coast Saban route and we are just bending over and taking it, again.

KN says no final word on Fuqua yet and probably won't know until tomorrow. Sounds like Troy might be backup option for him

I choose to look at it this way. I will wake up in the morning expecting nothing good to come out of NSD for us. If something good does come up, then

Look at it yet another way - tomorrow I won't have to worry about checking twitter every five minutes or constantly refreshing this link. I can actually go to immigration court tomorrow morning focused on my client's best interests without being distracted.

Is this a win? I guess?

Gus's yearly near 15 attrition losses goes into this as well & is frustrating.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news for you but Gus ain't going to go to those levels. Just a simple reality through this part of his career.

If we truly like him as a safety prospect then this is dumb IMO. We need some long term depth there.

KN says Caleb Johnson is a definite take

Edit: sounds like he's told AU he's coming. KN just said he officially projects him to AU

So no Langham. We wouldn't take them both I wouldn't think.

will preface this with the fact that I absolutely know this sounds like a ridiculous source, but my good friend’s boss is a big UGA bosster. My friend has bulldog for a pet. Boss called him today to tell him Kirby said he is supposed to take his bulldog to Quay’s presser. I wouldn’t even believe a bit of this but my friend actually did this exact thing with Michail Carter two years ago. The pics are out there


So the bulldog at Quay’s announcement has been cancelled guess that’s good for Vols.

I would & I hope they do. Not much word from Keith on Langham today.

Pretty sure we would. Johnson probably more to do with Tannor

Why would we want to use two scholarships for two strong side defensive ends in the same class?

Is it fun being a miserable cunt? It must be, since you and a few others insist on being one so often.

Don't think AU sees either as a SDE although Johnson would be the most likely of the 2 to end up there. AU sees both as DTs & may see Langham as a future RT, which we will need down the line if that were to happen.

If we can pick up a couple of grad transfer tackles/juco I think we have a great class. Maybe grimes can get the guys ready before the season starts.
