'20 GA OL Tate Ratledge (UGA commit)

Not root against him. But you don't have to pull that crap. Corn Bennett of Bama wore an orange shirt with no logo and when asked why his son didn't choose Bama, he said because Bama doesn't recruit three stars. Just saying.
I see you’re late to the party. It was fun while it lasted. 😉
 
His family and he were Vol fans all his life, but somehow (how?) Pittman persuaded him GA is the place. What will he do if in his Sophomore year Pittman is coaching the Titans and he passed on his lifelong favorite team? Ugh, I hate it when favorite sons leave. Goodbye to the whole lot of you. Don't come back.
 
Maybe we should beat Vanderbilt before we start bellyaching about losing another recruit? Still, it's pretty rotten to take our decal off his truck. Sam Pittman does it again. UGA's 3rd string will all soon be 5* athletes. Looks like Justin Rogers is next unless KY can hold onto him somehow. smdh
 
I think the stupidity lies on the fact that people are taking shots at his dad for supporting his son’s decision. Everybody knows he is a huge vol fan and has been for a long time, so he took it off so everyone will know he is supporting his son. I do agree that it was over the top but it’s his son and he is probably super pumped about him going to college and playing football at a SEC high caliber school.

I just think disparaging the dad for supporting his son is ridiculous. He will probably tell you looking back on it, it might of been over the top. Just let the man be happy for his son and however that fleshes itself out then so be it.

I just think we forget that it’s reality sometimes and not just some virtual experience. I’m not saying any particular person on here is stupid by the way just that this is an overreaction.

He can be happy for his son. He can remove the decal while in his garage if he want to and not in front of cameras. He can go to his son's games and support him. But, he doesn't have to pull that crap. It was a weak attempt at being cool. I wasn't mad when Tate picked Ga today and with Callahan CBalling it, you knew it was coming. But to peal that off for Fox news in Georgia was BS. Be a Georgia fan for the rest of your life. That was some BS.
 
Ole miss fans said the same thing when Peyton committed here. Winning is a talent magnet. We all got to be rowing in the same direction or our boat goes no where. Players, coaches, and fans.
 
It is going to be okay. Hopefully transfer portal still in play for 2 to 3 yrs when he is not starting and then we will see what decal is getting pulled off and put on.

By then we will be well on our way and won't need him. Especially if he can't make it on a team we just beat in back to back years.

My husband (damdawg) has read aloud every article written today about Tate R and his commitment. He read an article that said Pittman was told two weeks ago. He read to me how big he is, and an article that Pittman and winning were his reasons for choosing the dawgs, and of course, he shared that bleeping video. This makes me

Go ahead and crack a bottle over his freaking head.

All I can do, 😞. Ride it out, just ride it out.

You beat Vandy the last two seasons and he put your decal ON the truck. Trolla came trollin home! 😂
 
This is just reality after going a record of 49-50 since 2011. It will also continue to happen unless we start winning games.
62-63 since we fired Fulmer in 2008, these kids coming out of high school right now would have been 6 or 7 years old then. That's as far back as most people can remember. We're starting from scratch with them, our history helps us in many ways because we still have a large fanbase and a lot of money, but it's irrelevant to these kids other than they see we have nice facilities and a big stadium full of people, but we've been a pretty dreadful team in their lifetimes as far as their living memories are concerned. We need some improvement on the field to secure a class comparable or better than last year's.

Do y'all own a dog house? I would hope the sofa is at least occupied for the next good bit.
