re: 2015 UGA recruiting thread (commits, offers, etc)

I wouldn't say that it's a rural thing, it's more of a native vs transplant thing. I was born and raised in Marietta, as were my parents. 3 of my grand parents were born in Georgia and I had ancestors in the state since before The War. I'm proud of being a Georgian (and a graduate of the University), even though I don't reside there any longer, but I was technically raised in a suburban/urban area. It's not about the size of the town you were born in, it's your ties to the state.

This. Having extensive roots in one area (like mine and Crispy's) makes you pretty devoted to that area and the representatives of that area ( The Dawgs, Braves, etc.). That doesn't mean you can't also be devoted to one of those teams if you're not from GA or haven't been here long genealogically speaking, but it does make it less likely that a general population of people with fewer ties or roots to the are are going to remain loyal to that area. ATL knew what it was getting when it opted to build itself into the Reconstruction capital of the South. We get all the business and notoriety but much less of the loyalty than the surrounding states (except Florida because they're like twenty states/nations/countries scrunched into one phallus -shaped landmass).

STOP TRYING TO SCORE DRUGS IN THE RECRUITING THREAD.

Yeah I'm not trying to turn this into "RABBLE RICHT CANT RECRUIT GEORGIA, WERE ALWAYS LOSING TOP RECRUITS, etc" it does seem odd and I hate it.

Yeah, loved to hear what he thinks but I think his silence just says no one knows for sure.

Isn't Slayton calling the the Losers today to inform them of his decision

I think that's Godwin.

I know a few Tifton folks.

I always wonder: By how many degrees of separation do I know everyone on the Dawgrant?

Saw that DT DaQuan Hawkins is announcing tomorrow and supposedly we are in it, anybody hearing anything??
