I think this is a sign NIL fatigue from fans. The lure of the GameDay experience has lost its luster with the lack of perceived buy-in from the players. Its kind of a pity it affects the uga program, which has heavily invested in development and not transfer portal stars.
Lol....either that....or, Bama has lost IT's luster. Which I believe to be the case. Bama is nothing more than they were, under David Shula.
Lol...hell, Bama's AD might as well have hired Vince Dooley's boy...Derek. Or Stevie Wonder. Lol....as in...."Wonder what Deboer's buyout is?".
Beating Kirby for the 2nd time would go a long way towards BAMA keeping Beboer . Lets hope we find the magic sauce this year.
@BigDawg61 I'd agree if it wasn't that every game went down in value. I live in walking distance to the stadium with season tickets and I don't enjoy the experience nearly as much when I go. It's hard to call it DawgNation when the players change every year and show zero loyalty. I choose to use my time in different ways that doesn't revolve around football on Saturdays or Sundays and I can't rightly say I miss it too much either.
I said NIL in my original comment but its the transfer portal that has ruined the game for me. It's hard to give full throated support for players that change with the wind it seems. There is no grind and grittiness for the modern player, making it hard to relate because my life and career as an accountant is a grind. I don't change scenery because something is hard, I work through it and am better for it when I work through the issue.
I get what you're saying and can't say I disagree. Cause I've felt the same way about the NFL for a long time.
However....I WILL say, in UGA's defense....I don't think the Dawgs fall in that bucket. Yeah...they bring in some transfers every year.
But, not many....and, when they do.…they are usually talented high-character guys that UGA missed out on, the first time around.
I don't give a rat's patooti, about the guys that didn't cut it and left for a "few dollars more".
It's the one's that stay and develop, that matter to me. Good people...all of em. That's what I root for. I want to see these kids grow, develop and get better. Not just in football....but, in life.
IMO....Kirby does it like few before him. He's "Old School.". Kids and their Parents see that and respect it....because they know rhe value of Kirby's tenets to success. Focus, Commitment, Hard Work, Drive, etc..
The Dawgs don't just talk about those tenets....they embody them. That's why they are one of the few football teams in the upper College ranks, that deserve our support and attention.
They are building men of the future.
