Kirby answered that question about TV in his presser. Said they want to play the game when they want to and go at the pace they want to. Basically he said he didn't want someone else dictating the time, commercial breaks, etc.
The expanded playoff doesn't have me jaded. It needs to be tweaked in terms of who gets in and byes but beyond that it's fine.

The transfer portal and NIL, on the other hand.

About the offense, I do think a leadership void was a big problem. I hope someone or some group step up from that perspective. It makes me also wonder how transfers in and out, the lack of continuity, is impacting the culture. Kirby's Dawgs are known for outworking other teams during the week. I hope that's still the case.

re: OT - mRNA thread in Political Talk

mRNA might be helpful and useful in future applications. I don't think that was really ever the issue. The issue was that they fast tracked a "vaccine" (it isn't really a vaccine) without proper testing. They will say that was necessary. But the vehicle used in the vaccine is the Spike Protien which has been proven to cause inflammation and damage to cells including to the heart muscle. So you're introducing something to the body that causes damage with hopes of preventing a COVID infection.

This is probably why there were so many adverse reactions including myocarditis.

Just saying and more of a general observation ... bios and resumes don't highlight failures.

Everyone seems to fall into either the it's Bobo's fault or it's not Bobo's fault camp, it's the players. I have a few thoughts on this ...

1. Isn't it the Coaches job to maximize the talents and abilities of the players he is coaching? What does it say if an entire position group of players regresses from one season to the next?

2. Ignoring the questions around execution, Bobo's play calling seemed way to predictable for my tastes. The poor execution tied to predictability leads to much lower chances for success.
He's Kirby's best friend. I don't think anything happens without Bobo being on board with the decision.
I missed that. Look, I don't have a side in this whole thing. Beck seems like a douche. That's as far as I'll go. That kind of behavior by UGA, if that was intentional, seems petty though.
Or maybe they chose to focus on players coming back in 2025. I don't think I saw Etienne either. Definitely saw Frazier.

They aren't getting NIL money. By that I mean there are very few players that are getting marketing deals based on their Name, Image and Likeness. What is happening now is doner money is getting funneled into large funds, "collectives", and players are literally getting paid signing bonuses to sign/ play at that school.

So, while NIL cannot be regulated, the above which is what is actually happening absolutely can.

And the player can still seek NIL marketing deals on the side.

That and some restrictions on transfers.

Not a fan of where college football is now. Worse than the pros, IMO, with the NIL and the Portal with no guardrails.

Interesting read mostly rehashing what was discussed here but adding some stats to back it up.
I don't know anything or have any inside info. I will say this ... I think women like his influencer girlfriend are trouble. I would not be surprised if she was chirping in his ear all year that this and that are the cause of all his problems. This would make any normal person, perhaps subconsciously, start to resent the perceived causes of his problems. In other words, it could have created a divide between him and the WRs, if that is who she was chirping about, or the OL, if it was about protection.

All I'm saying is it wouldn't be the first time a woman has messed up a dudes head.

Drew Brees wasn't tall either. But successful qbs that are short and not very mobile are very rare. The good ones have great abilities to find throwing lanes and alter arm angle to overcome the lack of height.

Stetson was special. Took a little while for coaches and everyone to realize it but he was. Comparisons to him will be hard to match. Besides height, dude had it all in spades.

I agree with that. You have to admit though, there is just something about him that doesn't add up.

He had one in instagram when he declared ,just took it off when he entered the portal


He took that down? That's strange and might indicate a falling out of sorts.

getting open on routes


This has not been mentioned enough. Not only were our receivers dropping passes but they weren't creating separation either. Brock and McConkey were great route runners that created separation and then also created yards after the catch. We need a lot more of that.
Stockton threw the ball better than I expected but I thought he would be more mobile. He looks slow running the ball and not very elusive. If he's just going to be a pocket passer, he needs to be able to read defenses and make calls at the line.
