I hate Ga with every fiber of my being-more than the Nolies, and I live in Tally. That said from reports I’ve read they have not had a single opt-out for the Orange Bowl. Not one. Only guys who entered the portal or are hurt are out. That is truly amazing in this day and age. We can hate on Kirby all we want but that is some serious culture they have there, unfortunately…for that kind of talent leaving for the NFL, to decide, to play in the OB. I hope Billy is/can build that kind of culture. I think he will and the results will start showing next year. And before anybody flames on me, yes I’m sure money is involved…but all things being equal it’s impressive in this day and age- zero opt-outs. “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
Thanks for this. I was thinking the same thing. I am loath to complement Georgia on anything, but that is impressive.
Trevor Etienne is certainly a good sign. But the way the UGA RBs are excelling today, I'm sure Trevor is going to step right in and be the UGA starter next year. Can Kirby sell a guy a bill of goods or what?
They had a lot of opt outs the last time they weren't in the playoffs in 2020, missing Eric Stokes, Monty Rice, Ben Cleveland and Tre' McKitty, so hard to say if their culture somehow improved since then or it's just a roll of the dice. For the record I don't really care about opt outs either way.
We talking kirbys law culture? The culture where a guy can caught reckless driving in an expensive car and get off with a few tickets that were paid by the program only to later leave the scene of an accident with a dead teammate and staffer after racing and get off Scott free?
Portal- not opt-outs. Those two are not the same. Zero opt-outs. “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
So Etienne is opting out for the Gators. He’s not transferring. Got it. “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
I could be mistaken but if I recall very few and maybe none at all of their opt outs/portal players were starters. Not so with FSU.
I still don’t know how he got off Scott free from that. If you or I did that, we’d probably be on trial.
Mama Etienne is gonna have to refer to him as RB3 maybe RB4 on X next year when she starts whining about her baby boy.
The media glossed over it and moved on before the NFL draft. Meanwhile Gator player barking at a police K9 kept getting brought up over and over
Zero opt-outs. Yes portals. The two are not the same. See Trevor E… “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
