Adversity can be a hard pill to swallow for some...
Yup appears that way. Interesting he didn’t touch on anything else.
It’s not hard for me to imagine that some bad experiences were had with Athens or UGA PD.
I agree. I meant the allegations with CKS.
not at all
He just wants to play this year. We've taught kids that if they play the race card, they get what they want, so they play the race card. It's not any more complicated than that. Cade Mays is white so he is stuck with "toxic environment".
Today facts don’t matter, they require work to uncover and critical thinking skills that do not exist in the general sports fan pop. If you repeat something enough and the drive by media keeps in in their headlines false or not it becomes the believed narrative. Fields, Mays, Reece, (Newman for what ever ) ... a pattern so it must be true is what most will believe. Toxic Environment! Racism! You name it -All this accumulating may be the undoing of Kirby Smart ....I hope not but brace yourselves
I think a lot of uga fans are fast to assume this is false. But whatever live your life.
My question is why would Kirby block his eligibility either way? That to me is the part that makes zero sense.
any system which incentivizes kids to trash their school when transferring is flawed. NCAA is the cause of this type of crap, saw it with Cade, saw it with the UF OLine transfer, it’s a powerful incentive right now.
We have issues.
I don't doubt anything Otis said...
This is a business and he was a major depth piece on the back end of a defense that had no offensive support.
Does this stuff happen at every school?
Yes.
Just because the kid is bad mouthing our beloved Dawgs doesn't mean we should invalidate what he's saying.
Athens Cops ****!!!
All coaches are two-faced...
They are your best friend in recruiting, then your worst nightmare once your on campus.
I was with him right up until the point he said there was no one to talk to. That I don’t believe at all. We better win this year and I hate to say it but best option or not Dwan probably needs to start all year or the optics are just going to get worse.
This racial stuff has got to end and Kirby needs to get out in front of it and lead in this area. Otherwise this will never stop.
There are a lot of other countries you could move to. You say you regret serving. Where did you serve? I spent 14 months and 3 days in Vietnam, and while I hated being there, I felt I was doing the right thing for my country and myself. As a result of my service I grew up and went from being a failure as a college student (reason I got drafted) and became a man. Went back to college after the Army, graduated and became a productive member of society. I hope you wrote a lot of what you said about this country and your service in the “heat of the moment”. If not you are a sad man and I feel badly for you.
There are "people to talk to" but you are in constant fear of what the ramifications will be...
loss of PT
loss of Scholarship
These kids have so much pressure on them from all over.
I mean look at us on this message board.
The are scrutinized from all angles while trying to play a game that is there ticket out.
They use to love football until they came to college.
They put in 80+ hours a week between class, weights, meetings, tutors.
And what do they get for it?
A degree... while they provide a university with the funds to pay for that scholarship 100x over each year.
I'd challenge anyone of y'all to step into these kids shoes and not come out of the other side not feeling used.
