So I win the bet?? If so, quickest win of my life.

I don’t usually lose when it comes to betting ;)

How do you win? It said IF, which means the bet is dependent on the statement following the if. I suppose, if they both play at least half the season it’s not dependent on them being at Tennessee. The bet is still unclosed as far as I’m concerned.

Also, I don’t understand how you’re taking pleasure in us losing possibly a starter or co-starting rb next season. Dying on the hill of wanting to be right about something at the potential detriment of our team, just doesn’t make sense to me.

Lol plenty talked sh1t about him never being healthy. The whole Bishop is better saga. Bishop is serviceable don't take me the wrong way. However he isn't 1000 yard back in the SEC

So you're going to trash Bishop while accusing people of bashing Seldon?

It's not really our decision. And I don't think our "comfort" goes into what the coaches decide to do.

That is true. But I don’t always have to agree with their decisions.

I didn’t agree with getting only 1 OL
Last year
And I won’t agree with not getting a WR this year given that only 2 have much experience at all and 3 have practically none. If that turns out to be what happens

I will miss Cam he is a good kid. Bishop is averaging 6.5 YPC as a freshman walk on, and too many people ignore real production. I’m confused on what Seldon has done here to get the benefit of the doubt over Bishop? To this point from what has actually been shown on the field yes Bishop is absolutely better.

Lol whatever dude. Read the forums. You are not gonna twist my words. I said he was serviceable meaning he can play. But he is not a number 1 type back in this league. If you disagree that is fine. The difference is he has played the position his entire life basically. Where as the kid who is leaving was the number 2 because he was better or at least our coaches believed that to be the case. Injuries prevented his growth. But the talent level was there to be the guy.

I look at it this way. As long as we're winning, Coach is doing right. If we start losing, that's when we, as fans, complain because he's no longer doing right.

He was ranked higher than Bishop. That's all the science you need.

Simple answer is he has more talent just hasn't played the position prior to being here and he had a bad shoulder hopefully he gets healed up and has a chance at the next level.

We'll see how the coaches view Bishop next season. Maybe he'll be #1, maybe not. But he'll be in the rotation. So I guess they see him as more than "serviceable".

I don't have to twist your words. You were very clear in questioning Bishop's ability.

This is.... wow. He is a good player, really good. I don't think it helped the situation by this forum continually trashing the kid knowing his family frequently visited here. Because he has been injured. Players do indeed get hurt. Clearly the 2nd most talented rb. I think Lewis is going to be good but this kid took number 2 spot and has only played the role for a year and half. @Plove23 good luck to your nephew and your family.

Trashed? He’s been treated with kid gloves.

I question his break away speed and the mileage they put on him in hs. He was also hurt this year correct ? Thought so. We need another back from the portal. PL will likely be the #1 guy if I had to wager

The majority of the forum never "trashed" the young man. Most of us supported him and wished him well. Don't confuse the idiot minority with the rest of us.

True most didn't, just a few

I'm sad to see him go. Hope he finds success wherever he goes. Still think he could have done great things here, but most of us never see what goes on behind the scenes. Understand that he has to do what he thinks is best.

Winning, yeah we’re winning. But we ain’t winning them all. We ain’t beat UGA yet.

Sometimes just good ain’t enough. If there’s an opportunity to get better you take it.

That’s what UGA and Bama has done and they are the ones with championships.

You never know you might have that in Rodarious Jackson or Travis Smith and just don’t realize it. One thing I thinks folks are overlooking is how stacked we are going to be with pass catching TEs that are going take a bulk of the load as well. As fans we don’t know what Dashaan Brame is going to bring to the table as well.

I think those game clips of him returning punts…… is eye opening 👀
