I never used to hate Georgia, but here’s why I do now:
They are only where they are because of Bama-level shady recruiting. Now we all pay folks under the table here and there, we know this, but Kirby does it at a “disrespectful to the game” level.
In 2016, Kirby’s first year, they went 7-5. They lost to us, lost to Florida, lost to Derek Mason’s Vandy, got humiliated by Ole Miss, and beat Nicholls State in a nail biter by 2 points.
The very next year they pulled the #3 class in the country. Right there with Ohio State and Bama, who were contenders. What in the world did 20+ four and five-star players see in year one that made them all want to jump on the wagon? Nothing. He just paid well enough. It’s been a snowball effect ever since.
After the 2019 season, LSU was the hottest team in all of football. Coach O was coach of the year, Burrow had won the Heisman, and they took the Natty. Every piece of sports media was all over them. Georgia had blown their season YET AGAIN in an inexplicable loss to South Carolina, and got worked by LSU in the SEC Champ game.
Guess who pulled the #1 class the next year… LSU? Nope. Georgia (who didn’t even make the playoffs)…… somehow….
