I understand how barking can annoy another fan base, but no amount of barking reaches the level of annoyance as those dumb cowbells. It's not even close.


So, what's more annoying:

GA fans barking
Cowbells
The Vandy whistler
Rocky Top

SEC National Championships 2024-25

Georgia - 1 Tennis (W)
Florida - 1 Basketball (M)
Oklahoma - 1 Gymnastics (W)
Texas - 2 Swimming & Diving (M), Softball
Georgia T&F Outdoor - M and W
Arkansas Baseball



FIFY
You're right on all of these counts, but I wasn't referring to discounts. I just feel like if Kirby signs local players, it just gives them one less reason to leave, because they're already home. Still gotta pay to play though.

It’s a change in philosophy. Sign more loyal guys close to home that are less likely to transfer



I made this same assertion back in early May. Crowknowsbest and Kneehigh disagreed.

Not saying that we don't recruit nationally, but up to this point the class has several local, hopefully undervalued, 3* recruits.

The conference really doesn't seem to care about traditional rivals.

So, pick up the only school that is worth annexing which is UNC because of what they could add to the coffers.

Add them to make 17 schools which would give each school 16 potential opponents. Play 8 for two years and the remaining 8 the next two.

In UGAs case, they could split UF and Aub into separate sets so they play at least one rival each year.

Thanks to NIL, the days of loading up with a majority of 4-5 star recruits is over.

It's back to recruiting more locally regardless of their ranking.

A lot of transfers are guys getting closer to home. So, if you recruit locally, it gives them one less reason to leave?

LOL

I did provide this caveat, however.

Soccer, tennis, and track are it.


I don't consider womens equestrian as a true NCAA sport since there are currently only 24 official schools that participate. Maybe I should!

Yea. This Take is Dumb

By Brooks own standard of competing for conference or national championships, all other programs fall woefully short.

for having a multitude of underperforming women’s athletic programs, Josh Brooks is him.

I know, nobody cares, but…

Just sayin.

Crazy that this game isn’t on TV



Not really.

It's rare that UGA gets any preferential treatment from SEC-TV.


I would have expected it more from the ACC network.
Got it.

It makes sense to change that format. If you win the regular season championship, that should be the trophy you want.

These long conference tournaments seem to be an unnecessary burden on your pitching staffs.

knowing how Wes feels about Hoover, we may not see them again unless it’s in Omaha



Does Wes like or not like Hoover? I couldn't discern based on your comment either way. Just curious.

I guess I'll have to turn in my green jacket at Augusta National.

If you don’t love this Auburn team then you’re just a hater


Look, there is no doubt that Auburn has a great team and that it's a great story for you.

But, it's Auburn and I want them to lose.

If it makes you feel better, if Auburn was 0-31, I would still want them to lose. Same with Florida. frick UT and Bama, too.


I wouldn't expect anything different from you if the roles were reversed.

Be honest, Stetson Bennett was a great story for UGA football, but you pulled against him, didn't you?

The school of which you are a fan has been inconsequential in basketball basically since its existence.

Do you care? Good for them? Sucks to be us? Could be worse if Tech was in the Elite 8?

I'm not a complete "pull for the SEC guy", most especially given these participants.

I'm leaning towards I don't care. Baseball is in full swing and football is 5 months away.
Angel Reese may be the most despicable woman since Rosanne Barr.
Suzanne Yocolan. She and Patterson were true adversaries until Yocolan took it next level.
I blame Tennessee.

Yes, showing up pitchers and going ape shite when a pitcher gets a big strike out had been trending for a few years, but UT and their cocky arse coach went next level with it. Now it's common place.

There should definitely be a preseason award for this!!



You're new here, so I'll give you a history lesson.

There has always been an Off-Season National Championship trophy on the Rant.


For years, during Donnan and Richt, we were perineal contenders for this. Since then, Tennessee has sort of dominated.

FYI, it's not something you really want to brag about.
