'24 VA LB Chris Cole (uga commit)

[JacketVol]

For now, I’m tickled pink with 10-11 win seasons! We are not far removed from a miserable 15 years of mediocrity and coaching blunders. How soon we forget!

This 1000 times. If you think otherwise, you are an idiot.

In all fairness, didn’t our staff only turn the heat up here after we lost Singleton to LSU? It’s all in the game, yo.

I think we turned our focus there after Singleton failed to make his last scheduled visit before the dead period due to his family issue, but him to Singleton was not a foregone conclusion at that point.

Did you just call a bunch of people an idiot? Not nice!

After '98, I remember getting trapped in that mentality that after we'd gotten our first loss the season was over. Fifteen years in the wilderness has completely broken me of that. If you offered me 10-11 wins every year with no chance of falling back into being the national punch line, but we'd never win a national championship in my lifetime, I'd be happy to take that.

Let us be ranked and competitive with a shot. Heck with an 8 or 12 team playoff we always have a shot to make it.

this championship or bust mentality has taken the fun out of the sport. As long as we have entertaining 9+ win seasons I’m happy. Georgia fans have fallen in the trap of that mentality and now think they’re a blue blood which hilarious since they were irrelevant for 40 years. Their crash and burn will be oh so sweet

How about Alabama fans when Satan is gone…

The expanded playoffs change that dynamic so it's really not an issue any more, but, I'd personally gain more joy from watching a great team be a contender in every game they play, rather than watching the boom/bust cycle.

But I cringe when I see people with '98 NC gear, so maybe one NC just to freshen that up a bit.

Yeah. We used to joke about UGA not winning a NC since 1980 but we have won one since 1998. The difference is UGA has been good to great over the past 20 years and just never got it done. We have been wandering through a nightmare for the past 20 years. I fully believe we have woken up and the nightmare is over, except for the rest of CFB.

Yeah the rest of college football has to deal with our stinkin gimmicks that make guys wide open all over the field

Nightmarish indeed

 

[Jackcrevol]

I wager this kid's family will talk some sense into him. His closeness with Pay'un Lewis will help, and UGA can take the whole thing.

If you told me right now we’d go 11-2 this year - I’d take it. No questions asked.

No qualifiers. Don’t need to know the losses.

Just sign me up.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I'm still cautiously optimistic here.

I agree, the sport is supposed to be entertaining and enjoyable. Thankfully, it is more enjoyable ! The idea championship or bust mentality is too much stress and takes the enjoyment out of it. I have God, Family and Country much higher than sports. So glad watching Tennessee football is fun again

Tank should have been moved to LB. Not enough speed for safety.

Honestly would be better if he were moved to the bench.

Honestly would be better if he were moved to the bench.

Usually would agree, actually I do agree, but if Tank would’ve moved to LB immediately, he would be in draft conversations already. Literally couldve been JRM 2.0

What did Maybin ever do to you to deserve that insult?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Oh come on, he would be plenty fast for an ILB, hits like a truck, and he wouldn’t be tasked with covering the more athletic guys on the field all the time.

I truly believe he would’ve been a monster at LB

Linebacker Chris Cole is rolling into town late today and plans on being here through mid-afternoon on Sunday. Georgia obviously feels confident but Tennessee is going to get all weekend to leave a big impression on the Salem, Va. linebacker. His whole family is coming to town and besides Virginia Tech, who isn’t really in this in our opinion, the Vols are the closest potential destination. His goal is to announce in August as of now.

Excellent news

As much as it pains me to say this but I actually feel sorry for the coach that replaces Saban. I mean you win 10 games and the fans will be calling for your head.

Through sunday? Sounds like he and the family will get ov treatment

If i'm Georgia, I would be feeling overconfidence. He's on your rivals campus, with his family. That should be unsettling. Have a feeling this kid's a Vol.
