[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 388365"] I'm honestly surprised at some of the folks who are so stridently saying, "stop whining and get over it". I mean, don't get me wrong, I get it. We shouldn't be running around whining and complaining generally speaking. But I don't see anybody here saying we are envious or jealous of them because they are just better and we can't beat them. What people are complaining about is that these guys cheat, bend rules, and buy there way there. Did you read about Aaron Brule (whom we just offered): [MEDIA=reddit]path=%2Fr%2FCFB%2Fcomments%2F7m2qaw%2F[/MEDIA] He was offered by uGA, committed many months ago, and then right before signing day they told him they wouldn't accept his paperwork.
