This is just a friendly reminder that I have as many playoff wins as Michigan.

If we want to go there I'm pretty sure GT has 5 11+ winning seasons and a more current national championship than Michigan. Lol
lmao... wow
I am very bitter about the way this season ended, true.
Dude I was at the game.... it didn't come down to one play, we looked horrible the entire time and you had every opportunity to close that out.
Obviously, we were the better team, but managed to piss the game away.
Same with the Orange Bowl.

Nah. A couple of times the opposition players looked like belting him one but didn't (they'd get suspended as well then).
I think he got a criminal charge (unlawful sexual conduct) and also was cut from his rugby team. It was a long time ago, but still Australian sporting folklore.

This thread is more active than it was during some of the New Years 6 bowls. Did I miss something?
I'm sure that, when bowl games were played, that all Elite teams have a winning % of > .500, right?
It's been ages since a History pissing war was kicked off. This is classic football talk. This is what it was like before the internets.

A lot of shitposting (will admit to some of this myself as well)

Not sure if Andy posted this yet or not.
Rodrigo Blankenships father: Son being refused a scholarship is a crushing hardship for his family
His dad wrote a letter into Dawg Nation on the matter. Totally agree with his dad. Kid totally getting the shaft especially in this sham that is billion dollar amateurism CFB.

Yeah I saw that, Smart has to cut him right? This is a terrible way to complain about it.

Half those bowl games were shite.
Yeah, he is the only guy who has been caught doing that.
I saw it and thought it was really poor form of his dad to take them to task in the media. While I'm sympathetic, he's not going to get a scholarship now as it would count towards the numbers of recruits they can sign this year.

Surely they can get a booster to pay for his school fees until they have a scholarship they can offer them. I'm not kidding.

Kid got fucked that this is even an issue. The fact that his dad even had to go to the media is a crime.
I love CFB in terms of the games, but the business is shady as a mother fucker with kids basically working for free.

Bagmen don't play.
The kid walked on... if he wasn't promised a scholarship then he knew what he was getting into. His dad did him absolutely no favors airing this out publicly.
You'll have to forgive him, he's a Mississippi fan.

100% by airing this he was promised a GS that he was then denied because they needed his spot.
If you're gonna greyshirt a kid you can't fuck him around like that.
If he was a PWO that was promised one, same principle applies. Most kickers are brought on by promises of future schollys.
Umm, can't do that.
I mean 77% of his FG tries was good for 6th in the league. It's average. I think he probably would have gotten a scholarship in the fall. He wouldn't have gotten one right now regardless due to the scholarship situation with how it would count towards last year's recruiting numbers.

Well he can't legally get a job to pay for school either cause that's illegal by NCAA rules.
Not to mention he has a job aka UGA kicker, but he doesn't actually get paid for his work unlike the coaches.
The more time passes the more I trend from wishy washy to anger on CFB players not getting a cut.

yeah, screwing with a greyshirt can lead to some seriously bad PR, makes it harder to get anyone to even entertain it
Was he a PWO or greyshirt, because I don't see that anywhere in the article?
If so, then that, of course, changes the equation.

Players can get jobs, they just have to be paid the same as anyone else

I dont know how good he is.
But Im sure there are players getting their fees paid by schools, so they dont count as scholarship holders.
I know you cant do that by the letter of the law. But if you think Georgia hasnt ever paid a player to pay, then you are naive.

Shittt we didn't lose to Iowa this year.
You absolutely can get a job as college athlete, just can't do the no-show jobs. A Michigan player drives for Uber in the offseason actually.

Yep, I say that players should be paid, but there is a regulated salary cap.
That would make it much more interesting to watch. Set the salary cap at a level so that you can't get five or six five star players, therefore spreading the talented players across more schools.
I don't think Richt called them preferred walk ons, but I believe the contention is that Richt was hoping to get him a scholarship if he played well. Obviously Richt is now gone in his redshirt freshman year. It's kind of a crappy situation, and I get that the dad is mad he's spending his retirement on his education.
But there's a good shot some guys transfer this summer and some scholarships are freed up.

They aren't everyone else though and so they can't profit off their abilities and image? The school can though.

Harbs is going to LA. He can go back to Cali and stick it to the Niners twice a year.
