    I wish I hadn't clicked on the link. It still seems unholy to look at those photos of the same player wearing the Orange and Blue mixed in with photos wearing dog puke red and black.

    Yea.... I know how you feel...
    The days of school loyalty, team loyalty and even State loyalty are rare at the least and even long gone!
    Remember Brent Cox that transferred over from Jawja? What a train wreck that turned out to be!

    Good luck to him and all other players entering the draft. One step closer to achieving their dreams of playing pro!

    Maybe he left because of Beck. They had so much synergy.

    What's better for a RB who doesn't help with pass protection than a QB who feeds passes to the defense?

    It was a perfect recipe for a high number of running plays.

    Darn it, I was hoping to beat them next year with him on the team. Oh well. Not sure he did much more to up his draft status.

    He could have just ignored his Gator past. But he didn't. So good luck to the young man, hope he gets it sorted.

    Come on folks, I thought he showed class mentioning and thanking UF.
    Sure it sucked when he portal'd but that was a respectful goodbye.

    Anyway, good luck to E.T.N.

    Good luck, ETN. Also, good luck to whichever QB you'll be blocking for....He's going to need it.

    The only way ETN got tackling practice was trying to chase down Beck's passes that were intercepted.

    No, I hope he gets drafted by the worst offensive line in the history of the NFL

    The last time a uga player going pro made big news in gville was when Herschel Walker did it. ETN ain't no HW.

    Glad he went pro in spring. Georgia cannot go and tamper another RB room within the Sec.

    2025 is shaping to be a good year for whipping the dawgs.

    At least we all can enjoy the fact that in the only game he played against us; he DID NOT finish the game. Excellent work Gator defense!!!

    That's true, but as a UGA hater I derive much more joy in that ETN made a HUGE fumble just a few yards away from the end zone that cost UGA some points in a very close game. It's not a stretch to say that cost UGA the game, though that's arguable.
    ETN was also in the game when their QB made another huge fumble which led directly to 7 ND points.

    So I'm sure Smart cackled in glee as he took ETN from us and signed Rashada out of the portal.
    But wow- it sure looks to me that those 2 decisions really hurt him in the playoffs.
    Etn due to the fumble, and Rashada in that Smart apparently put dinging us over finding a better backup to Beck.

    If he signed a better backup, maybe that backup plays instead of Stockton and they are in the final game...

    Bears….their OL don’t like to block, why would they care if their RB can?
