    Just my take, but ET is looking towards the future as in the NFL. I think he knows our OL isn't going to improve much and that there may be a chance we won't make it to a bowl game next year. I think recruiters have gotten in his ear that he would be a star behind a better OL and of course position himself to a higher draft number. I can't blame him for looking out for himself and his future. Still, it's tough for this program with him leaving. Wish it weren't so.

    UGA’s 2nd string QB, HS 5* Brock Vandergriff, just hit the portal and landed at UK, where it’s presumed he’ll start next year.

    Seeing as how his brother tweeting about his playing time, they didn’t think he got enough carries. I’d be surprised if Kirby hands him the ball more if he cant learn to keep his QB clean.

    So what does it say about Day, who suffered a single digit loss to their arch rival and is seeing a mass exodus? Not by players who will never see a down but starters? It's happening everywhere.

    Apparently, several players have spoken off the record… They cited “development and strength and conditioning “ as reasons they are leaving. That’s a full on indictment of the program.

    Or they are weak and don’t work hard and aren’t picking it up. Someone else s fault is the new generations thing.
