Agree in general. But I don't think coaching had anything to do with Kyle. He was a grad transfer. Until GT gets degree program help, those are likely to continue unfortunately.

My guess is a fairly high percent of Grad Transfers get into a different undergraduate degree program vice a graduate program. That’s a guess.

the good news is I'm proud of him and our DL has been surprisingly good because of Van Den Berg, Gore, Biggers, and Height this year. On fire since the VT game.


The bad news? IMAGINE IF KENNARD STAYED.

The dear john "our time was special but" letter will help my wife recover. After her favorite IVEY left she followed Kyle as a favorite.
I WILL REPORT HER REACTION

She said he seemed genuine.

Was MARCO let go and then Kyle portaled out? Or was marco here when kyle left.

I sure like our present DL staff

The plant never needs fixing; it's always the environment. Mr. Kennard benefited from an environment, scheme, teammates, and other factors conducive to his on-field success.

If bowl games are meaningless, then a significant number of regular season games are meaningless as well.

That’s BS. Bowl games are after the Semester is over. If players want to transfer or go Pro they are better off getting on with it. There are more Bowl in some years than teams .500 or better. Bowls are now simply events to fill ESPN’s TV hours.

congratulations, KK, on Nagurski award.
South Carolina is in CFP without this play, however.....

My wife is USC girl and we were in Columbia for LSU...I saw this happen, 20 yards behind the play..... said to my BIL before interception returner crossed midfield, "Oh ****. This is coming back....Oh well, #5 is a GT guy, after all....." None of the Gamecocks sitting around me thought this was funny......
"Schadenfreude" is a German word that describes the feeling of pleasure or satisfaction that comes from witnessing another person's misfortune.

A lot of regular season games are in fact meaningless. We’ve known this for years. FSU’s entire 2023 regular season was meaningless. UGA-Texas parts I and II were meaningless. Our games against GA State and VMI were meaningless, enjoyable but meaningless.

What has that have to do with meaning? The playoffs are also after the semester is over. Does that make them meaningless? I wish people would be honest in these discussions. It has nothing to do with meaning; it has to do with preserving your payday. Just admit that that is what is driving it, and I will agree with you.
