Georgia destroying FSU was case study in culture

UGA had reason to be upset about playoff snub

Bulldogs locked in
Seminoles checked out

FSU's success was because of how well they hit the transfer portal

But transfers tend to be mercenaries who value self over team


It all comes down to culture. Kirby has instilled pride in his program where as Mike Norvell had to rely heavily on the transfer portal to jump start FSU's rebuild. I'm sure Norvell will eventually get things where they need to be but for now the Seminoles roster is just full of selfish players who have absolutely no loyalty to the team or the university.

Its a reflection on the head coach and the culture he brings to the team. Much like last year when Bryce and Will played against K-State, Georgia felt they had something to prove. Yet again, compelling evidence that Kirby is
Saban 2.0 which should make Dawg fans pretty excited about the next 20 yrs or so.

Those selfish players went undefeated.

Bama could not.

Disagree, this isn’t about culture but about getting fricked about as hard as a player could get fricked in life.

Regardless of your culture, if you went undefeated, won your championship game in what is supposed to be a major conference, beat 2 teams in the most difficult conference and then told you don’t even get a chance because your QB got hurt… even though Alabama won the damn thing just a couple years ago with a backup QB?

Ya, as a player I would be like frick all that bullshite too and not give a frick about the bowl game. I think it’s a testament to their coach that he was even able to get some players on to the field, I sure as frick would not have played.

Norvell squandered a huge opportunity to build a great program at FSU by teaching those kids a huge lesson on commitment. Instead he chose to be weak and play the victim. I hope he never coaches another team after FSU. He is a terrible example of a coach.

I am curious about the environment in that program. If I was one of the guys that played last night, I would seriously resent the opt out guys. Especially the ones who aren’t expected to be drafted highly.

GTFO. If Georgia was screwed as bad as FSU, the exact same thing would have happened to them.

Wait, I thought one loss doesn’t mean anything. Isn’t that the reasoning that was used to sham Bama into the playoffs?

It all comes down to the culture and it doesn’t matter if you primarily recruit HS, go heavy in the portal or transition to a hybrid. Just reference what CLK is doing at Ole Miss. When he took over the dumpster fire Luke left he went hard into the portal. Even last year we took close to 30 players in the portal. This year with what we have return, judicious selection of HS/JUCO recruiting and taking about half of what we have in the portal…..and the kids are all bought in. So much so that guys that could have gone to the draft (Dart, Harris Preiskorn, Watkins, JJ, Ivey, etc…etc…etc…)

All that being said…..hide your wives and daughters because we are coming, Hotty Mother fricking Toddy bitches!

Those fsu players knew they weren't winning shite with their backup QBs. You can blame it on the portal mercenary thing but that team deep down knew what the committee knew when they left fsu out...

FSU snubbed the postseason after their snub. Fair enough. UGA said Frick it, we legitimately lost but let's not embarass ourselves with a second loss on the year.

One team had nothing to play for and the other had everything to lose.

They both had the opportunity to show why they belonged in the playoffs. It was a one sided arse stomping and uga was swinging the hammer. I don't think fsu could have done much about it fully staffed.

UGA has zero complaints about not being a playoff team while FSU did. Why is this so difficult to grasp.
