You could have just said college football and been just as correct. Nothing is happening to the SEC that hasn't already happened everywhere else. Hell, the Pac-12 is no more.

Running Jacket. Your jealousy and envy of UGA and the SEC is eating you up. It’s too bad that your team can’t afford to buy players legally or illegally. Y’all can’t even pay off your massive debt. UGA and the SEC did nothing that every major program didn’t do. And what GT tried to do on a paupers budget.
As for the SEC championship meaning nothing you are a fool if you really believe that. The SEC is a big deal and the SEC championship is an even bigger deal. It means you are the best of the best conference in the land. Some feel it is harder to win than a natty.
Now as for that pitiful conference y’all belong to - it’s nothing. A total zero. And an ACC championship is laughable. About as important as that Birmingham Bowl championship. Did y’all really have championship rings made up for that huge win? Surely not. I can’t believe that even the North Ave Trade School - AKA “ the joke by Coke “ -could be that desperate for attention.
You just once again proved what the late great Lewis Grizzard once said. GT thinks about Georgia 24/7 365 days a year while Georgia thinks about GT the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Of course when a Dawg reads drivel like you posted it provokes a few minutes of attention.
You got a response, so go back to the library and continue to sulk over that loss UGA handed you last season. I heard it literally ripped y’all’s heart out. lol

The 2019 LSU team will be the greatest team ever for a long time.

Another Georgia fan being dishonest and trying to run down someone else's accomplishment because their team couldn't get the job done. Whatever helps you guys cope.



lol, Yeah we haven't done anything recently. You guys would of course have another championship if you hadn't let a walk on pick you apart in the second half and made like the Falcons in the Super Bowl. And yeah, in a down year we only won our conference (although I have a hard time calling any year we beat Florida "down"

While the SEC still has quality teams... yeah. We are playing catch up. We, as a conference, were perfectly adapted to the way things were. Now we can just do all of that in the open!

Except most of the conference, including powerhouses, weren't really sure how to handle NIL.

Big 10 schools had been hoping and praying for this for years. They were ready.

It will sort itself out but we were caught flat flooted by this. I am not saying the SEC is DOOOOOMEED!!! I'm saying it will probably take another year or two to get dialed up to speed in the new reality of college football.

The B1G's leadership saw NIL coming years before it happened. I'm not sure about the constant transfers.

It would do better if it quits listening to the ACC and Big 12 when it comes to payoffs and schedules.

Speaking of the schedule, it takes the B1G to hide Indiana's SOS and so many other teams in that conference. And that's at 9 league games. That team and so many more would have been exposed in the SEC. Face it, you remain very top-heavy, and there will continue to be plenty of room for B1G teams to hide their SOS.

A couple of decent years in football and now you’re an expert. Things will return to normal shortly and hopefully you’ll go away.

Yeah, I think schools are going to have to rework their NIL deals to make players take a financial hit if they transfer.

USC finally bought a GM who may know his way around a budget, and recruiting and roster-building just took off. GMs only got more valuable with this latest rendering of college football. They will soon be getting coordinator money.

In my mind, it all started when Urban went to Ohio St. and started recruiting SEC type athletes because he knew from experience what he needed to compete against the SEC.
