'17 GA ATH DeAngelo Gibbs

This kind of crap is an example of why I am having a hard time investing in this community as much any more. So many good posters but the prevailing conversations are absolute dog crap like this.

Then why not just ignore the post, or him altogether, and then it won't draw any attention to something that contributes to making something so worthless a prevailing conversation?

Edit: Reading it back, that sounded way more snarky than intended. Definitely not any sort of slight towards you VIA, you've always been one of my favorites around here, I was sincerely asking that question.

It sounds like the Gibbs and the Reeds are going to have some immediate family members on academic scholarships at UGA who would otherwise be paying their way to take remedial courses at Athens Technical Community College.

I really like Gibbs, but come on he ain't worth all that bs. What is Kirbs angle here? He knows as well as we do Gibbs is going to end up at S there. He sure ain't gonna play LB in that 3-4. He will make a good/great S . He would make an even better "star" LB at UT though.
 
I just plugged the numbers into my calculator, and this is what I got:

3.4557 + 4.6458 x -3.77 = Kirby Smart is a salty bi*ch

Yep. That all adds up.
 
That's what I've always thought.

Prolly should have headed mine with "IMO". Just know that he has similar measurable to high school Cortez McDowell. VN had TKjr as a LB and this kid is bigger...is faster, but coverage and fluidity skills are the question.

Amen! Might be a prototype star. Which has become a position in the NFL. Mathieu really plays that for the Cardinals.
 
Not to defend the guy, but what's wrong with his math? Is it because he didn't round up?

Honestly? If one was seriously interested in calculating the percentages of a defensive back making the NFL from the schools in question, you would have to know more than the current number of db's in the NFL. You would also need to know the number of defensive backs the two schools have signed vs the db's who have made NFL rosters. You would also need to establish a period of time for the db entering the league to know how many total db's are in question. He was oversimplifying things to say the least with his %.

^This...just another half-azz percentage thrown out without science on this board. :)

That happens 73% of the time someone uses a random percentage like that.


Correction: That percentage has increased to 73.2%.

You aren't wrong. I didn't keep that "ignore discipline" that Coach reached.

Gotcha. I agree - I thought his reasoning and thus his statement were stupid. Just pointing out that the math part wasn't incorrect. I'll see myself out now. :)
 
That was a very even keeled post. He was pointing out the delusion amongst fan bases, including our own with reference to what Dawg fans will do when he OVs to tOSU.

Nothing remotely worth banning. The majority of you sunshine pumping Vols are myopic. If it doesn't fit your "UT is the best bro, if he doesn't pick us then He sucks anyway bro" narrative, you resort to to the garbage quoted above . Here's looking at you Volfreakjosh. No rational discussion. No possibility that he just likes somewhere else better. Just, "well if he doesn't pick UT then he sucks and we didn't want/need him anyway.

Y'all need to lay off Leb/ Crunchy with the talk of "fitting his narrative". Glass houses and what not.

Go lick your own balls and get off our site being critical of big orange fans. We can do it because we are family but we will beat the heck out of those who are not. Sit down Kirby lover.

I think GA fans are some of the most delusional in the country, but this post is freaking spot on.
