You need to try a lot harder for comparisons to what is ailing college football these days.
It's only the traditional "haves" that think college football is ailing.
I think with the new playoff, CFB on the precipice of it's greatest fan interest ever. Second only to the NFL.

Add in some GenX too. To most everyone, Saban is FAR more relevant than Bryant is in 2024.
Great. Subjective opinion of homosexuals is valued in your subjective opinion. Means absolutely nothing in reality.

It’s weird for you to be talking about homosexuals because I am talking about people 50 and below.
Its absurd for you to think 1978 is just as, if not more, relevant in 2024 is than 2017 is?
People today dont hate bama because of what happened 50 years ago. They hate bama because of what saban did.

Insecurity about UGA's alcohol and fast cars problem. You must admit, it's a bad look for your school.
I am proud of UGA’s status as an elite party school, and I like to drive fast myself, so that’s not it.

Really. Drink has been recruiting at unprecedented for Missouri. He's got everyone from donors, to state politicians, to the NIL collective and coaching relationships all pulling in the same direction. Something even Pinkel couldn't achieve. Stadium expansion and new construction going on everywhere. All from the ashes on the whack job protests.
Can Drink keep it up? Who knows? But it's as exciting around here as it's been in a long, long time.

Not unless it comes through something like the SEC and B1G superconferences. No one is big enough to have a say.
We continue to get court decisions that favor the greed. With the 2.8 billion dollar settlement that is retro to 2016 and the new understanding of paying high school recruits for their signature, and just lately the boosters now have total freedom to decide what is a "collective" and how much money can we throw at it.
Those that foot the bill will use the Golden Rule.
"He who has the gold, makes the rule."
The mega-donors did not get insanely rich by being idiots about economics. At some point they will say, "I am not paying $XX millions for an unproven high school kid."
Wait until a few of these multi-million dollar kids fail spectacularly. The big money will start being a lot more cautious.
When C.T. Fitzpatrick or James Hewson start talking. Alabama will listen. Same with Charles Ergen, Jim Haslam, Min Kao, and Charlie Anderson at Tennessee. When Jimmy Rane calls, Auburn listens.

He is correct. It's becoming the NFL, which is not a product I care deeply about.

Yep. Injuries are part of the game
I don’t think he’s discussing injuries here
It's 2024, sir. People don't read. They just argue.

It was a great 4 years in Athens.

Not surprising that it went over your head, though.
Maybe it did go over my head. The game has changed no doubt about it. Kirby is still the best in the game right now but the field is becoming more level than it ever has been. That is just a fact.

How is this a fact? What evidence is there of increased parity?

You have spent as much time on the International Space Station, as you have as a student at the University of Georgia.

Is he wrong?
No, he's tone deaf. For the entirety of college football coaches could just leave when they wanted to even if they were under contract. Coaches made millions of dollars a year.

He is talking about experienced depth. Not the ability to leave a job he is never leaving.

Nobody actually read the full context of what he said. He’s basically lamenting an overall decline in the quality of play on the field and some of the reasons for it, which is something coaches throughout college football and the NFL have been talking about for a few years now.

Probably. Didn’t realize how much attention and worshipping y’all got until we won a couple. It’s kinda cool but a little weird.
These are the glory days. Imagine, as a Georgia fan back in the 90s, that there'd be a day when other SEC fanbases hung on our head coach's every word.

Well Washington being in the championship game is a start.... Look at what Ole Miss is doing.... Oregon with "unlimited NIL funds"..... Didnt Kirby directly point that out in a press conference? I wonder why? Also did you happen to see Lannings response to that on the McAfee show? He basically said "yea its crazy that schools like Georgia and Bama never paid players before NIL"
The days of Bama and Georgia being head and shoulders over everyone else seem to be over. More teams and compete much quicker for championships which leads to more parity.
