Vanilla Ice Hulk apparently is a sore loser.

It's amazing what being an older college player can do for you. Blue Cain is strong now and finishes through contact lol.

Why is Giers Old Aurora penetrating Bywater?

Great move by Kirby figuring out a way to keep Rauscher around. You have to wonder if this was the plan the whole time. Spend a year with Searles and then take over. How else can you hire the offensive line coach and run game coordinator from an NFL team and expect him to stay around.

Dylan Fairchild just made the All-Rookie team, Ratledge was a monster for the Lions and Jared Wilson started some games for the Patriots, but our offensive line was way more competent this season even though we were way younger than any Georgia offensive line I can remember off-hand.

Kirby promised everybody last season that he was going to fix the offensive line, and he did. That's why Kirby is the man.

Now I hope Kirby does the pass rush next. He doesn't have to tell us he's doing it this time or make any vows. Just do it!

The first two offensive tackles that this 2027 draft preview mentioned are both Texas players.

How is it possible that Arch Manning got knocked on his arse as much as he did this season and the Texas offensive line generally sucked? Either the offensive line coach would have to be wholly incompetent or the interior three offensive linemen would all have to be special needs,, or both.

It'd be interesting to know how many times in college football history a team beat every team it played but didn't win the national championship.

2011 LSU is the only other one I can think of.

I wanted Beck to have a good year with them and he did. I supported Miami in every game this season, until last night.

This pretty much sums it up for me, too.

Idiot UGA fans thought that fatass Kirby could carry the league after diddy Saban retired

It wasn't an unrealistic thought. At the time of Saban's retirement, Georgia had gone 42-2 in the previous 3 seasons with two national championships.

The last 2 seasons have been down years for Georgia though. This is true.

I don't have any knowledge about which programs outside the SEC were paying players back in the day and which ones weren't, so I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. But I'm sure there's at least some truth to the narrative that NIL and the portal has made it easier for programs outside the SEC to compete at a high level.

But I think the other big reason why the SEC's reign of terror is over is because Saban retired. Saban and Alabama propped up the SEC for a long time.

There were several seasons when Alabama shined up a turd. If you take away Alabama in 2015 and 2016, there wouldn't have been a single SEC team finish in the top 10 of the final CFP poll. 8-4 Auburn would've been the top finisher in 2016 and 9-3 Ole Miss would've been the top finisher in 2015. It there was a 12 team playoff back then, the narrative would've been whether or not the SEC deserved to get more than one team in the playoff.

There were some programs that would get hot, like LSU in 2011 and 2019 and Auburn in 2010 and 2013, but for a while there it was Alabama and everybody else. Then Kirby came on the scene and helped prop up the SEC, but he wasn't able to break through with a national championship until 2021, and by this time LSU and Auburn and Florida had all turned fully retarded.

The hope for the SEC after Saban retired was that Kirby could keep up the pace he had in 2021 and 2022 and that Texas would be a monster. Give credit to Texas making the semifinals last season, but to this point Kirby hasn't been able to keep up the pace and Texas hasn't been a monster, while LSU and Auburn and Florida have still been retards.

It's all cyclical, I guess.
