Greg Poole The other part of that quote is: “But if they don’t score we’ll never lose”—-Erk
I think this is a matter of perception more than reality.
This has been looked into several times over the last few years. The average recruiting position for GA hashas been around 10th. When you rank overall records and average final ranking over the same period, Georgia is also around 10th.
I would agree however that the last few years, the program has underachieved but “Top-10 ” recruiting can easily still be 4th/5th in the SEC. That statement really should come with an asterisk.
bahits Doc R DawgDaddy Greg Poole doubt it, but would love to have that stamp
Greg Poole Walk much?
haws1178 Bulldawg36 That one has been on twice lately
Well I do agree with it, if we are only talking about the last three years
PTCDawg well said!
bahits Bulldawg36 We have lost a Heisman Trophy candidate every year for the last 3 years. If people want to ignore that they can, but would Alabama have won even the SEC last year without Derrick Henry? How would LSU have fared without Fournette? I would guess most teams would look like underachievers if they lost a Heisman caliber player.
On the other hand, I also think having great skill players but losing the line of scrimmage is also a factor . Just means our margin of error is much smaller than it should be. The Easons and Hardmans matter, of course, but I think it’s Ben Cleveland, Andrew Thomas, et al, that gets us to the next level.
bahits Thanks some don’t realize that most kids can’t even get in to UGA these days.
I like Leonard Warner’s Dad! Although the article tossing around the question about UGA academics bothers me a little. I know it is great, and I also know it doesn’t mean a hill of beans outside of your first job or two. It really doesn’t matter, if you love to learn and keep pushing yourself. (GT masters degree here) I suspect that is the angle several schools use… including my alma mater.
Either Georgia or Tech would give the kid incredible post school benefits, if he decides to stay in or around Georgia. Stanford, I don’t know. It wouldn’t be much of a benefit, if he came back home, but California is neat – minus the high taxes and nanny state politics.
Any way, I hope he chooses our Dawgs.

Academics wise, what does he want to study? Tech is better with a lot of engineering and possibly science. UGA is great in a whole lot of fields. The options are broader at UGA.
Doc R DawgDaddy Greg Poole do you think that thing will ever be worth anything like this other upside down mistake?
DawgDaddy Bulldawg36 ears?
Bulldawg36 No. We came within a hair of a national championship when we had Bama on the ropes in the SECc. We would have worked ND over just as easily as they did
Now, if you want a candidate for over rated, how about Notre Dame?
Greg Poole Can we just swap misery and the embarrassment of the hopefully heavily penalized Ole Miss?
Hobnailboot aka RobG You know, sort of like what Auburn does EVERY day
Hobnailboot aka RobG basically they had a couple staff members who were doing work for 2 football players, including writing 10 papers for them, and a few other things
Here is a NOLA.com article that argues SEC should poach OU and OS if the B12 expands. Of course, that position ignores the economic of expansion for the SEC. It will not happen.

Greg Poole that’s like as many as GT had total, isn’t it??
Bansai buckeroo those 2 cups and a string just don’t have the same effect
DawgDaddy Greg Poole since it’s probably a “participation trophy”, who cares?
This must be Rob pick on Bansai day…. 🙂
Not that I am aware of, could be though.
I hope it wasn’t the win over Florida
JaxDawg I kind of doubt it after that tweet earlier.
Bulldawg36 Not necessarily, it depends on what you say is over rated. To be picked an fail miserable like gtu or AU last year is what I call over rated. To be picked but still make it to a bowl – not so much.
Of course opinions are like some other things, everyone has one.
And you had to ask Sarah to connect you with the diner
I love the Dawgs but it’s kinda hard to argue with consistent top ten recruiting classes and not much to show besides a couple division titles.
Do you agree with it?
Is Lawrence on campus today?
Bulldawg36 Saw that yesterday, I think Greg posted the link.
Big lead said UGA was the most overrated cfb team in the last ten years. Sorry can’t post it from the tablet.
Who are all those old guys in that photo? Dang.. time flies…..
