Yep. More than apt your spot on. They usually don’t fix things they make them worse. This thing is already way out of hand !!
The NCAA is nothing more than a glorified "figure head" at this point. They've been neutered by the SCOTUS and abandoned by Congress. As with everything else in our Country, these days....it's a chaotic mess, due to lack of leadership and vision.
I just wonder how bad it will get, before Congress steps in to get their share of the "booty"....er, I mean fix the problem. Lol
From what I see..."Nobody" is calling the shots for Div1 CFB. Anything goes while the money floods the landscape. Frankly....I find it **** and off-putting, to watch greed destroy the game i love.
I barely recognize it as "football", when I tune in to NFL Games, these days. I don't know why, they don't just put "flags" on their waist and call it what it is....a semi-contact sport. Rule #1....don't be mean. Lmao
Wishing all DN posters (and, at least as non-athletes, DGDs 😁) some peace and collegiality... time to go rock on the impending tidal wave of Saban-driven drama!!! 🤔🤣🙏
PS: Yes, I know it's "escalated" but that's the best Ron Burgundy meme I had on hand! 🙃
I assume that is a meme, of the face, of Joe "Bama" Fan....after getting the news?. Lmao
Blessed are the Peace Makers. And I’m not talking about the Colt variety. I Try really hard to be as courteous and respectful to other posters here as I can be. I respect a person with Confidence. But I despise Arrogance. We Really shouldn’t be arguing and attacking among our own. There’s nothing healthy and/or productive to it. But I’d like for you to know that for My Part I was treated snarky to start off so I responded in like kind. Probably shouldn’t have done that.
But I’m not a cigarette to be stepped on and ground into the dirt either. I have feelings. But I will ramp up my efforts to just consider the source and ignore the snarkiness. Your a great person and DGD for trying to defuse things and bring peace. I’ll Try hard. Maybe the other party involved will Also try hard to.
Our rivals hate us enough to go around !! Hope you have a Great and Safe 2024 !! P.S. I Tried not so long on here to play the role of peace maker myself. Guess I blew it. God Bless You !! Go Dawgs !!
I don't find you offensive, in the least, Navy. In fact, I'm one of those old-school people, that don't equate disagreement, with assault. Lol...I think it's necessary for growth.
Oh you know I wasn’t referring to you. I probably shouldn’t have responded to the person I am referring to. And I confess I have a harder time these days restraining my temper.Like I said to Kudzu I admire and respect confidence. That’s a great thing. You have that.
But I despise arrogance. And I greatly dislike being talked down to like I’m an inferior person. I don’t care how much a person knows about any particular subject, that doesn’t give them license to talk down to someone else. I’ve found in my life time Smart many times is where your standing. For example I’d be as lost as can be on the streets of NYC, but if I still had the ( which I don’t) physical ability to take someone from NYC down into some swamp country that I was very familiar with, they’d probably feel pretty lost to !! 😀
Anyhow I’m gonna Try really hard to just ignore that person If he decides to make any additional demeaning comments at me. For the record He started the controversy, but I was the last to comment so I guess the yellow flags would be thrown on me !! 😂 Like I told @BigDawg888 I’m very Thankful for yours and his and Allot of other Dawgs fans friendship. The site is supposed to be for information And fun, not in fighting. So I’ll cease and desist on my end. Hope you have a Great & Safe 2024 !! God Bless !!
After Beck de-committed from Bama, Florida offered 1st, then UGA. So how was leverage used by Beck to get an offer from UGA? I could understand if Florida offered after UGA, and he gave Kirby a choice as a power play to get his wishes. So, unless you personally know Beck, Kirby, or Florida recruiting staffers, I'd say you are the one that's clueless. You sure like to throw around the term cheerleader a good bit. What makes you such a football " expert"? Listening to to CLOWNS in the media? Watching games as a fan? Watching the experts on TV? If so, you're as much of a cheerleader as anyone else you pin that title upon. Even if you are more knowledgeable about sports, or anything, it still DOES NOT make you any better than anyone else. If you think it does, you have a rude awakening heading your way. Just remember..you reap what you sow. Dont plant BS and expect roses to grow. Karma works in funny ways..what goes around, comes around.
100% @JoeClark if a compnay thinks I will not show other offers to get what I feel I need then they are crazy.
Wow. That is hard to respond to w/o the appearance of insulting you.
Maiava got an offer from UGA and committed. Maiava used his UGA offer (leverage) to get a better offer from USC.
FL offered Beck. Beck hinted at a commitment to FL to get UGA to respond (leverage) with an offer. Beck got his better offer from UGA and committed to UGA.
Please elaborate on all that I have been wrong about. This should be interesting. BTW read my "objective" take under the how Saban's retirement effects the UGA programs. Not "my boy ", never was. I do respect him and even like him for how he operates. His team can handle hard coaching. Something some people on DN apparently can't handle.
Let's look at some of the "brilliant" things you have professed here. Marcus Washington leaving HS early was a good thing because he "could be LaBron James or Kobe Bryant". Which everyone knew he wasn't and it made no sense because LaBron and Kobe stayed in HS 4 years! And they weren't even football players! LOL
Oh what about the "AL will lose 4 or 5 games " in '23? LOL OBJECTIVELY, AL had the highest ratio of 4* and 5* players in CFB in '23. AND CNS. The probability of that happening was zero.
"SBIV will win the Heisman". Good thought because it was a great story. But, as good as SBIV became, it was never going to happen. All the factors I mentioned at the time, logically and objectively, forecast his 4th place finish. SBIV finished 1682 points out of 1st place.
Which leads me to your prediction that SBIV "would be selected in the 1st rd" of the NFL draft.
We have had this discussion before about logic and probability. But I don't think they covered that at your school with your "6th grade edumacation", Jethro.
You and other's here may not like that everyone is not blindly parroting the company line but every time you open your mouth you look dumber. Don't ever fool yourself into thinking you don't. It is readily apparent.
Man, I hate to use the block button, but sometimes it is a good option.
Go, Dawgs!
@navydawg
Dude when I wrote "you people" I was responding to a @reddawg1 post and referring to the people that were critical of Maiava. (Not @reddawg1! so @reddawg1 don't go off on me!) But somehow you took offense. I never said YOU piled on anyone. Again sounds like a you reading comprehension issue not a me reading comprehension issue.
I did not disagree w/anything you said about GS. I think he is a good player with great potential. As I have said repeatedly to you.
BUT CKS mentioned he wanted another scholarship QB. There are many obvious reasons why CKS would want that 4th QB. Some of which I pointed out. More than once.
It was clear to me you just wanted to debate the resident "villain" ( I am starting to like that) and wanted to keep "poking the bear". I explained my points multiple times even though they were clearly stated and made obvious.
But you kept taking offense to things like "you people" which didn't even refer to you. So you built this argument up in your own mind where no disagreement even existed.
YOU got a little unhinged. Not me. But if you keep poking the bear you may not like my responses.
BTW "influencing CKS" was so unbelievably over the top ridiculous it is hard to have a legitimate response to that. Hence my 1st thought (jokingly) is "This Dude missed some medication he is out of his head".
The sad truth is UGA is not the best in '23. MI won the CFBNC. In retrospect, had everyone been healthy I like UGA's chances against anybody in '23. But there were no guarantees and it didn't happen. UGA really blew its chance in the SECCG. W/a win there would have been extra time to get healthier. I am even more unhappy about the SECCG loss now. 1) may have prevented a legitimate 3 peat based on what i saw in the playoffs and 2) it was the last chance to beat Saban in an SECCG. Still glad to see him gone but wanted another crack at him.
YOU SAID I talked down to you. All I did was repeat the things I had said that you seemed like you weren't hearing or didn't understand. Yet took exception to. I couldn't say the same things any differently. But think about it, review what I said, I never criticized your football statements only your attacks on me.
Nothing wrong w/supporting the team Go DAWGS! There I can do it too. Just makes for boring and superficial commentary IF it is a 100% diet of that. I suspect there are a lot of interesting and valued insights that fellow fans can offer if, maybe, they weren't afraid of the DN "bullies" that criticize any opinion that they don't agree with.
Did I criticize your opinion of GS? Did I ever criticize any of your football opinions? Or anyone's (other than the clown that always comes off looking bad for poking the bear)?
Not looking to be admired here (narcissist) just expecting the same respect here as anyone else. If someone disagrees with me I am likely to debate it. And generally do it respectfully until the respect ceases to be bilateral. If anyone wants to hold me to a higher standard because they don't think I am a UGA fan I guess I'll have to live with that.
Fake Dawg Dad you have to give respect to get it back. Take notes dude...
