re: Stetson Bennett, 6 years of College and no Degree?

No doubt, Stetson deserves accolades for persevering & being the QB of a team that won NCs. Even so, it seems the level of arrogance & attitude he has projected after the 1st NC has been what he should have & continues to project. Nothing, especially history occurs in a vacuum-he would be wise to understand that fact. I could be wrong but if memory serves me correctly I don't think Kirby had much of a choice but to start Steston the yr he returned, the expected starting QB was injured and the stud backup had transferred leaving Stetson as the starter by default...Think about that & how all of that aligned. All Bennett had to do was not be the worst QB in the SEC or country & UGA would be in the playoffs...He should get some credit for not crashing & burning... but to fail with that roster would have been arguably intentional...Everything for him lined up especially having the best players in the country at every position including on defense, many 2-3 dee...point being, I could have been made to look good with that around.

Someone mentioned he's been paid $2M USD if not more already & my response is SO? That will not sustain him for a lifetime. Curious if he is headed down the path that Johnny Football blazed. Sincerely hope not but I don't know. Have no idea whether he will make an NFL roster but I doubt it...he will no longer be surrounded by the best of the best like he was at UGA...in fact, I'm not confident he earns a spot on a practice squad. If he doesn't have football, I guess UGA fans will always support him no matter what but by chance he had to rely on securing a job specific to his degree...that is unlikely...& being the Check-Out Clerk on Lane 6 at Publix is honest & appreciated work it is not an economics degree job. The point is, he will not be able to find a single job, anywhere with that degree - not without a PhD or a Masters...I bring that up because the day may arrive when he reflects back on his time @ UGA as a STUDENT-ATHLETE (cough-cough) & realizes he should have been more focused on free education... In fact, a similar story has become legendary, and history that occurred during my lifetime...a decision was made on a college campus that resulted in one of the most iconic quotes in American history being stated...a quote born out of utter shock, dismay, as this Great American was almost destroyed in a matter of seconds, downtrodden, overwhelmed with despair as a few thoughts raced through his dysfunctional brain after learning he & his brothers had been placed on Double Secret Probation by the University's Dean/President and namesake. The consequences were severe, resulting in all of them being expelled from Faber University...none were in more of a lowly state, as the great American, John "Bluto" Blutarksy...he was broken, distraught realizing what would be awaiting him... the height of Vietnam War Drafts...He could hold his emotions inside any longer as he yelled out, "...CHRIST, SEVEN YEARS OF COLLEGE DOWN THE DRAIN. MIGHT AS WELL JOIN THE EFFING PEACE CORPS" ...As the brothers sat in an empty room contemplating what happens next suddenly BLUTO was inspired-his despair turned to anger then to rage...now being filled with confidence & an entire 5th of Jack Daniels that he consumed within second & without taking a breath...he stared his brothers down & reminded them that Americans never quit & neither would they...He provided historic precedent to remind them or at least attempted to when he emphatically stated words that have become part of the American lexicon,

"... Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

Aaaahhh I apologize for digressing... having no clue what point I initially intended to make...Oh well, that is what it is... I will end with this, the 1st 1/4 of his or at least the past 3-4 yrs' history ended up lining up perfectly for him in a way that few college graduates could ever imagine...If he's required to rely on his economics degree I can state with confidence it will have minimal if any impact on what the history books write about his life in its entirety...Of course, I could be wrong.
