[DvilleJacket]

Kinda surprised Duke didn't even crack top 40.

How do you say we have 9 All-ACC picks player but rank us 30th, makes absolutely no sense

He's a slave to Rivals.com's recruiting rankings and has consistently overrated Georgia in particular for several years now (though they were a top ten team last year). IIRC, he said they were a dark horse for the national title in 2010, whereupon they went 6-7.

It's what he does so he can always claim to be right. He'll rate a team low but then have them as a "dark horse" pick to surprise, or rate someone high up but then point out all their holes in case they fail. He's a self-promoting douche nozzle who is always right, even when he's wrong.

UGA fan I know saw that list and his reaction was "UGA 6???? thats a bit high don't you think? WHeres Tech? 30??!?!?!? wtf does he have against you guys??"


In other news here's what I saw in the store today. I was ok with it.

Spoiler

Does Tech get money for using JeT's picture there since he can't get any for it?

 

[ChasonBaller]

Freeman, Davis, and White should all be 2nd team!! Maybe even 1st

Freeman is going to be a star. By mid-October he won't be our little secret anymore.

considering that they will have three weeks to prepare for it and the option never does very well any time a team is provided extra time to play against Georgia Tech."

This is when I think sports analysts have the easiest job in the world. Otherwise grown men who claim intelligence repeat the same childish school yards tales over and over like they are truths from Mt. Sinai.

I can think of a few more jobs that fit that billing...

As a wise man on another site said (shout out to magnacarter)

totally understand Steele forgetting about DJ White. it happens.

Hutson Mason forgot about him too.​

FTRS seat says hello.

Lets talk about the most important off season list though.

I just heard Steele interviewed on 92.9, Geez what a tool.....and Marc James is just the worst sports talk guy i have EVER listened to, just brutal. He makes Steak and Beau sound like geniuses.

I love beau

How is ugag #6 with no proven quarterback?

By substracting Hutson Mason and running the Wildcat exclusively with Chubb. They would have been ranked below GT at 33 if they were intending to run the Wildcat with Brandon Douglas.
