I hope didn’t strain something with that reach. That was a brutal self own.

He has not coached at Tennessee in 16 years. How about that POS that coached Bennett?

Good God, y'all are a stupid fan base as a whole.

How about it was all over every sports news program and every sports publication that they had sent him to rehab. They don't just send people to rehab for shits and grins. They send them to rehab when they have a drug and alcohol problem. You are seriously an idiot. It is a trait seems to run in the Georgia fan base.

If Bennett couldn't get a degree in 7 years that's on him, not on UGA


I tried to ask in my last post, but how does this happen? I’m not trolling, this is a serious question. How do you stay eligible to play if you’re terrible at school? Or did he just switch majors every year?

How is it not on UGA after 7 years? Someone was telling him something.

In my expert opinion, the responsibility is shared. An individual should be responsible for his own academic progress, but an academic institution should have the integrity to ensure it is not allowing athletes such as Bennett to represent the school if the athletes are not progressing toward obtaining degrees.


I think it's more on Georgia for the not culturally prioritizing it. They are probably encouraging kids to just stay in easy classes just to stay eligible rather than attempting to guide them towards a degree. They probably have bubble gum classes primarily for them, I believe North Carolina got away with classes that were entirely fake, because they were technically open for all students, not just especially for football players.

Missouri used to have a pretty low rate too but Drink has brought it up as much as he's brought the skill level up. It's possible if you just make it a priority.

To me it's just a good cultural thing to glue your program together. Get all of the kids united behind the college experience. Every program needs a bunch of kids that won't sniff pro ball. If the coach is ensuring everyone is going to class then that's one less thing for kids to cause possible dissension or resentment.

Also the better your players are at learning and being organized for learning the more complicated you can make your playbook etc.

And?

Were you outraged by his graduation rates back then?

You seemed very outraged by UGA's rate now.

Fulmer era was the last time the school was relevant and it looks like he made a few "sacrifices" on the academic end

The recent arrest rate at Georgia is not an accident. The culture is, show up for practice and play well, and do whatever the hell you want other than that.

And we're talking about today, not a decade and a half ago.

We have never had an athlete spend seven years at the University of Tennessee and not get a degree of any sort. Never.

Wow,every "sports news program" and not one link.
I'm assuming you do know how to post a link, right?

He showed up "drugged up" to a Rams practice? You gotta link for that as well?

Still waiting on your response about Phil's graduation rate.

What does this have to do with anything?

Once again,were you just as outraged about Phil's grad rates? And did you express it at the time?

Do your own research. Google seems to be above your skill set, you moron.

Yes, I answered about Phillip palmer. He hasn't been the coach at Tennessee in 16 years. How about that little fat turd you have that has players getting arrested on a weekly basis?

"It's okay as long as we win football games we don't care if they go to jail everyday."

I swear, as a whole Georgia fans are literally the stupidest group of people I have ever ran across on the internet. That Georgia Board here must be like Democratic Underground is to politics. The Insane Asylum of the internet.

Vololololol..

He isn't playing the Vols anymore, you moron. Tell him to write that on his mortgage check. Instead of putting an amount, just put down, "I beat the Vols."

Does your group home not have a bedtime? Or do they allow you to stay on the computer in your room as long as you wish?
