How about Bama fans just regularly go to dental appointments. That’s a good start.

Literally Google “UGA NIL Delta Airlines.”


I did, since you asked, and you are correct. Delta is bolstering UGA's NIL program.



...by providing free flights to UGA games for "select UGA-athlete family members." That's it. Huge news! What a groundbreaking contribution! Other schools had better watch out!

Seriously, reading is fundamental. Try it out sometime.

This really works against you, not for you. This is the absence of a large private sponsor.

For Ole Miss it comes down to if we get Chambliss back, which id give a 70/30 chance of happening. If so, a playoff return would be expected going into the season.

I'll go with Georgia until someone proves otherwise, although I do think Texas will have something to say about it. Teams with established QB's and tons of talent are the ones to bet on.

LSU is assembling the talent, but you have a lot of guys that haven't played together, QB's in a new offense. A lot of unknowns for 2026.

I’m curious, and you seem so knowledgeable, what SEC teams didn’t compete that year?

I enjoy this stupidness, but let me just have one request- make sure you stick to your evaluation of the schedule that you make BEFORE the season.

Last year, we had one of the toughest schedules in the country to start, with road games against #1, #6, and #9, and home games vs #13 and #15. Even after the season, our strength of schedule is rated top 15.

Now, you're saying it again. So, just stick with that.

Wealth has not shown to be the keys to championships. Portal player evaluation and player retainage so far has been the key. Indiana only spent $14 million on their roster and is about to win a national championship.

Georgia has spent more and has yet to win a playoff game. Texas unloaded dang near 20+ million and didnt even make the playoffs because of three regular season losses. Ohio St unloaded even more money and hot knocked out in the first round. Money hasnt won anything as of yet. Money doesn't guarantee player performance once the games start.

The OP isn't even worth responding to. He's ate up with Alabama and likely isn't even a UGA fan at all

This isn't funny. I have most of my teeth.


what is funny is that we are arguing amongst ourselves about competing for a natty only to get our cheeks clapped by a B10 or ACC school....or in georgia's case, Ole Miss in the post season.

We’ve won two natties and three SEC Championships in the NIL era. We’re the most successful SEC team in the NIL era.

And we clapped your cheeks in Athens.

Both of us are spectators in tonight's championship game.

His point still stands.

How painful was it for you to type out Ole Miss over Oklahoma?
