Kirby to Jimbo: I actually have wins in the SEC soo….


First 4 years:
Kirby’s SEC wins: 25
Jimbo’s SEC wins: 21

That’s with Kirby not having Alabama in division. He didn’t beat alabama for his first 6 years. So I’ll let you do the math on that one.

It... seems like you can't do the math

You make a point that he "couldn't beat Bama for the first 6 years" after admitting that he didn't play them every year since they're not in the same division

Georgia has also never gotten to play Bama at home during the regular season. They've either played them in Tuscaloosa or earned the right by playing in the SEC Championship game or CFP

I’m not taking it well. And I’m not alone. Far from it. A&M should never have been admitted into the SEC. What an embarrassment to our conference

You just insulted your own team there pal. Unless there has been a realignment I haven’t heard about Misery Is still part of the “weak” East. As for UGA not only have they dominated the East they have beaten SEC west teams, Clemson and all three of the other final four teams within the last year.Thats a lot of top ranked teams. Clemson (3) UK(11) Arkansas(8) and even lowly AU(high teens or low 20s I think) were all ranked until UGA slugged them in the mouth. Throw in Cincy (4) in the bowl last year, Michigan(3) and Bama(formerly 1) in the final 4 this year and that’s a pretty impressive resume.

Georgia recruits extremely well. And we don’t need truckloads of money to convince players to come to Athens.

In Jimbo’s first 4 years in the SEC West, he has had to play against 2 national champions and 3 SEC champions within his division.

In Kirby’s first 4 years at Georgia in the east, he had to play against 0 SEC champions and 0 national champions within his division. They did win an SEC title during that time, however they beat auburn, not Bama, who they lost to in the national championship that year.

Not saying Kirby hasn’t done a phenomenal job at Georgia, but it’s no big secret that they have little competition in the east. It’s not inconceivable to argue that he would likely have 3-4 more losses over his first 4 years if he were in the west and played against saban or LSU. Possibly more.

So y’all just spend 28% more than the next highest spending team on what? Travel expenses? Almost all of your roster is from Georgia or Florida.

Yeah…I bet none of that money goes into a bag fund

Well, the pressure to get to 9 wins is higher than ever.

You may not be alone, but you're probably in the small 6% or so that don't understand what a huge coup it was for the SEC to get A&M...

I do it find it amusing though that on these silly fansites, Ags never got a whole lot of attention, good or bad, but now that they are the obvious next big program, everyone's running for cover and taking shots. It's kinda nice....

Everyone wants “parity” and new blood at the elite level of college football. Except all of the SEC teams want it to be their team.

Everyone outside of the SEC wants it to be a non SEC team.

Add in NIL and A&M’s access to funding, and you have a whole lot of jealousy going on. Bring on the hate.

It's really something how Aggies have convinced themselves that everyone else is jealous of a perennial 8-4 squad who ran away from Wake Forest and has never even appeared in a national championship.

We’ve never recruited at this level in the history of the program. We’ve always been around 4th in talent in the SEC and consequently that’s usually where we have been finishing in rankings and standings minus a couple good years or bad years.

People continue to act like we’ve been recruiting like this for years. We’ve been recruiting well, but not elite. So far our teams have been good, but not elite.

Technically, no one had recruited at this level before since its the highest-rated class ever.

Not saying you’re jealous of our past, but you’re jealous of our future and how recruiting like this will elevate a program. If you’re saying you don’t wish your team had this recruiting class, you’re either in denial or lying.

But hey, 11 pages later and “y’all still don’t care” about A&M
