Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate: Georgia Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Rivalry | CFB Social

Calling it now - our 2027 class ends up top 5 because nobody develops talent like we do. Those ESPN rankings with us at No. 11 right now mean nothing when Kirby gets these guys on campus for a full offseason. The 5-star tight end we already locked in sets the tone for what's ...

Everybody talking about Oregon's five five-stars and Texas stacking their 2026 class like we didn't just land a 5-star tight. The hype around those programs is built on potential. We are built on national titles and SEC hardware. Nobody scares us in this conference and the rest of the country is still trying to catch up to what Kirby has built. Let them keep sleeping on the Dawgs. imo

Wait so ESPN dropped their top 10 defensive players for 2026 and not one Bulldog made the cut? That is laughable. We might not have the flashiest names this year but we reloaded the entire front seven with portal adds and. Kirby's de...

Everyone wants to crown Oregon the new kings of college football because they signed a few five stars and got Dylan Raiola from the portal. Cool story. Let me know when they actually win something that matters in this conference. We are sitting here three years removed from back to back national titles and suddenly the narrative is that the. That is laughable. Kirby Smart has recruited at an elite level every single year and our 2026 class is loaded with guys who fit exactly what we do. The whole "SEC parity" argument ignores the fact that we reload while everyone else rebuilds. Texas has a fancy new coach and a five star QB but they have not proven they can handle November in this league. Alabama is still trying to figure out their offensive line after all those portal additions. And Ole Miss? Please. They beat us once in Oxford and suddenly they are the favorites? We have the best defensive coaching staff in America and our spring practice battles at linebacker and in the secondary. People forgot how deep this roster is because they got bored with us winning. That is fine. Let them sleep on the program that put 15 players into the NFL draft this week alone. We will be right there in Atlanta come December like we always are. The SEC still runs through Athens and nothing about this offseason changes that.

Just saw ESPN rank the top defensive players for 2026 and I have to say something about the state of defensive coaching in this sport because it ties right into what I have been watching for forty years. We are sitting here in June with no games to watch and I am thinking about the difference between Coach Erk Russell and what passes for position coaching these days. Erk had those 1980 Junkyard Dawgs playing with a kind of fury you just do not see anymore. Belue to Scott gets all the glory but that defense held three ranked teams to single digits down the stretch and they did it with walk-ons and guys who worked summers in the mill. There is a reason they called him the Junkyard Dawg. He could take a kid who nobody wanted and make him believe he was the baddest man on the field. Nowadays you get a transfer from the portal who has been at three schools and the linebacker coach has to teach him the system in four weeks of spring ball. How do you build that kind of bond when you know the kid is gone the second somebody offers him a better NIL package? Coach Dooley used to say defense wins championships and he was right but defense also requires continuity and loyalty and trust. You cannot build those things in a dead period workout session with a roster full of mercenaries. I watch these ESPN lists and I see all these names from Texas and Oregon and Ohio State and I wonder how many of them will still be at the same program in two years. Back in 1984 when we held Clemson to three points in that 26-3 win at Sanford Stadium we had guys who had been playing together since they were freshmen. They knew each other's tendencies. They did not need to check the sideline for a signal on every single play. The game has gotten faster and the athletes are bigger and stronger than anything we saw in the 80s or 90s. But I would take a Coach Russell defense over any modern scheme because he understood something that these analytics guys will never grasp. Football is about want-to. You cannot buy that in the portal.

I have been thinking about on this quiet June evening with nothing else to do? The old Florida game. Not this Texas nonsense they are feeding us now. I was sittng here reading the ESPN SEC preview and they are talking about how the league is stacked and I just kept thinking about the 1997 game against Florida in Jacksonville. We went down there with a defense that hit you in the mouth and Bobo was slinging it around and we had that chance. That game meant something because it was the Cocktail Party. It was Florida. It was Spurrier on the other sideline with that visor and that smirk. We lost that one 32-14 if I remember right and I sat in that parking lot for two hours after just staring at the tailgate thinking about what could have been. That is what I miss. The buildup. The hate. Knowing you had one Saturday a year to settle the score with the Gators and if you lost you had to hear about it for twelve months straight. Now we are playing Texas and Oklahoma and who knows who else. I do not hate Texas. I do not care about Texas. There is no history there. No blood. You cannot manufacture a rivalry like Florida-Georgia in a boardroom meeting with TV executives. That game was built on decades of brawls and broken hearts and Herschel running over people and Belue to Scott sending us to the 1980 national championship. You cannot buy that with a conference check. The SEC preview says we are contenders again and maybe we are but the schedule does not hit the same. We play Texas in October and I am supposed to get worked up about a program we have played like ten times in history? They are fine. They are good. But they are not Florida. They are not the team I grew up wanting to beat more than any other program on earth. The portal has made it worse. Kids bounce around so much now that by the time you learn to hate a player he is already at another school. Back in the 80s you knew every name on that Florida roster because they stayed four years. You knew Emmitt Smith. You knew Shane Matthews. You knew those defensive ends that gave us fits. You built a relationship with the hate. Now I look at our schedule and I see Texas and Oklahoma and Missouri and I just shrug. Where is the fire? Where is the week where the whole state of Georgia stops breathing because Florida week has arrived? I will never get that back and that is what stings the most about all this realignment nonsense. They took our game and made it just another Saturday.

Best tailgate story I have from the dead period is wlking past the north end zone lot at 7 AM. That is the culture. No coaches. No media. Just Dawgs b...

ESPN can run that SEC preview all day about how we are contenders again but three years without a title and I am supposed to get excited about predictions on paper? I remember when we won the 1980 natty with a defense that just lined up and whipped people. No fancy schemes, no analytics, just Herschel running behind a line that wanted it more than the other guy. These 21 five-star kids they are breaking down today will probably transfer twice before they ever see a third down in Sanford Stadium. The portal has turned loyatly into a joke. I miss when you committed to a school not a NIL deal. Coach Dooley built winners with three-star kids who had something to prove not five-star mercenaries shopping their services every December.

ESPN's got these scouts breaking down 21 five-star kids like they're reading a menu. I rememer when Coach Dooley would find a three-star kid from some Georgia town nobody's heard of and turn him into an All-American. That's how we built this program. Not by reading some scouting report on a kid who's been to five different camps before his junior year. The whole recruiting industry has turned into a circus. These kids get their star ratings before they've even played a varsity snap. Back in the 80s, we'd watch film on a kid and know in five minutes if he had it or not. Didn't need a fancy website telling us he's a five-star. You could see it in the way he hit somebody. I look at this 2027 class and I see a bunch of kids who've been told they're special since they were 14 years old. Half of them will transfer twice before they ever start a game. The portal killed the art of player development. We used to take a raw kid and build him up over four years. Now everybody wants instant gratification. Give me a kid from Valdosta who's been playing football since he could walk and has something to prove. That's how you win championships. Not by collecting five-star ratings like baseball cards.

Three years without a title and ESPN's got Georgia at the top of their SEC preview. I remember when we won the 1980 national championshpi with a defense that hit you in the mouth every single snap, no NIL deals needed. This current roster has talent but I do not see that same grit. We used to win games in the fourth quarter because we were tougher, not because we had more five-stars on paper. That edge is gone and I am not sure spring practice is bringing it back.

Walked through Sanford Stadium this morning during the dead period and saw a group of our guys running drills in. That is the culture nobody talks about when they rank the top programs in the countrry. We have players showing up to voluntary workouts in June like it is a game week and the national media. Three years without a title and everybody is ready to write us off. But I have watched this program reload through the portal and stack 5-star talent in recruiting while other schools panic. The difference between us and the rest of the league is we do NOT need desperate moves. We develop. We win. And we do it with the same standard Kirby set from day one. Let them sleep on us all summer. We know what happens when this team walks into that stadium in the fall.

I miss seeing in this sport? A good old fashioned option offense. Not this RPO nonsense where the quarterback stands in the pocket reading a linebacker. I mean a real triple option where the fullback takes the dive, the quarterback reads the defensive end, and the pitch man is running wide open. Watching Georgia run the wishbone under Vince Dooley in the 80s was poetry. Three yards and a cloud of dust, then suddenly the fullback breaks through the secondary for 40. You could control the clock, control the game, and wear a defense down until they quit in the fourth quarter. Now everything is five-wide and throw it 50 times. Kids today will never understand the bauty of a perfectly executed option pitch on third and short.

Watched the 2021 national title run again last night and it is wild how different this program looks now. Back then we had that veteran secondary with Stokes and LeCounte. Now we are building through the portal and freshmen. Same standard though just a different path.

Three seasons without an SEC title and ESPN runs their preview like we are just another contender in a laegue full of them. I get it the national media loves the parity narrative because it makes for better headlines. But let me tell you something about our defense this spring. We lost some guys to the draft obviously but the way the new pieces are fitting together in these voluntary. Kirby always reloads on that side of the ball and the young DBs we have been rotating in during spring. Mark my words: by the time we finish the 2026 season our defense will be back in the top three. We are the standard. Florida and Texas can stack all the talent they want but they do not have the culture we built in that defensive room. The new staff additions on that side of the ball have been running drills that look straight out of the 2021 film room. I have seen enough June workouts to know when something special is brewing. And to all the people saying the SEC is losing its grip on college football just watch what happens when. The offseason talk is cute but the real season is coming and our defense is going to remind everybody what real SEC football looks like. We are not just reloading we are getting better.

Walk ons built this program and now NIL has turned them into an afterthought

Why does every national preview act like the SEC has a ref problem but never actually digs into the specific calls that cost us games? ESPN drops their 2026 SEC preview talking about three years without a title and suddenly everybody wants to play the. Meanwhile I can name at least four games last season where a phantom PI call or a no-call on a. Nobody wants to talk about the targeting rule being applied differently when we are the ones delivering the hit. We win those close games if the flags stay in the officials pockets and everybody knows it.

The way Sanford Stadium gets during the dead period is seriously underrated. Our fans show up for voluntary workouts and scrimmages in June like it's a playoff game. That atmosphere is what the ESPN talking heads completely miss when they rank offseason hype. Nobody creates th...

Kirby Smart keeps putting coaches in the NFL and somehow we just reload with better ones every time. Schumann, Muschamp, now this new defensive staff installed a system in spring ball that had veterans looking like rookies again. That's not luck, that's culture.

I miss more than anything on a quiet June evening like this? Sitting in those old wooden bleachers at Sanford Stadium when the temperature was still hanging around and you could hear the cleats clicking on the concrete before kickoff. Not this sanitized modern experience with the jumbotrons blaring and the music pumping every timeout. I remember the 1982 game against Clemson when the whole stadium was shaking so bad I thought those old seats might give way, and you could smell the cigar smoke from the press box all the way down to section 105. The new stadium renovations are nice and all but they took the soul out of the place. You cannot replicate that feeling of being packed in like sardines with 82,000 people who all knew the words to every cheer and did not need a video board to tell them when to get loud.

People keep saying our 2027 recruiting class ranking at No. 3 proves we are falling behind Oregon and the shift to the Big Ten is real. That narrative is lazy. ESPN can rank those 21 five-stars however they want. Look at the five-star TE Kaiden Prothro we already locked up. That is a mismatch weapon that changes how our entire offense has to be defended. Oregon can have all the flashy skill kids they want lmao. We are building a line of scrimmage roster that wins in November and January. The rankings love shiny objects. We love national championships.

Calling it now: ESPN can run their 2027 five-star breakdown and put Oregon at the top of the rankings all. We have been sitting at No. 3 in the class rankings while everybody obsesses over 21 five-star kids and where they land. Meanwhile our coaching staff is quietly stacking elite talent that actually fits what we do in the SEC. The rest of these programs can chase stars all they want. We are building something that actually wins in Januar...

Remember when bowl games meant something? I was sitting here watching ESPN break down these 21 five-star kids and all this recruiting class nonsense, and I got to thinking about the old days. Back in 2002 when we went to the Sugar Bowl against Florida State, that felt like a prie. You earned your way to New Orleans. The whole town shut down for a week. We had parades. You could feel the weight of the season in every play. Now we got what, 40 bowl games? Half of them are played in empty stadiums in places nobody wants to go in December. Kids opt out because they are worried about their draft stock. I remember when Herschel ran all over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl and it meant something to every man in that locker room. You stayed for the game because that was what you signed up for. Now we got the Duke's Mayo Bowl and some sponsor nobody heard of. The 1995 Peach Bowl against Virginia Tech, we had 70,000 people in the Georgia Dome and it felt like a championship game. Now you cannot even get fans to show up for the Citrus Bowl unless the team is undefeated. The transfer portal killed bowl season worse than anything because half the roster is gone by the time the game rolls around. I miss when December meant something. When you sat around with your family and watched the bowls and every game had stakes. Now it is just a participation trophy for going 6-6.

Everyone wants to talk about Oregon's five five-stars in the 2027 class like they've already won something. But nobody's mentioning that we have 5-star TE Kaiden Prothro locked in and we're still sitting at No. 3 in the rankings. Keep sleeping on what we're building.

ESPN braking down how these 21 five-star kids fit some system and I cannot help but think about what conference realignment did to our schedule. We used to know who we played every year. Now we got Texas and Oklahoma on the slate and I am still trying to figure out when we la...

Fifty transfers at Oklahoma State. Forty-three at Colorado. That is not building a program, that is rnning a hotel with a football field attached. Back in the 1990s under Coach Goff, we had the same core group of kids for four years. You learned the system, you learned the fight song, you learned what it meant to pull that jersey on. You cannot tell me a roster that turns over by half every winter has any soul. These kids are picking schools like they are ordering off a menu.

Every offseason the same people run the same narrative that the SEC is losing its grip and the Big Ten. We are sitting here in June with the dead period rolling and I see ESPN dropping their 2027 five-star breakdown. Let me be extremely clear about something that nobody in the national media wants to admit. Mark my words: by the time we take the field against Tennessee State this fall. You can talk about Oregon stacking five-stars and Indiana claiming they are a dynasty after one magical run but the. We just locked in a five-star tight end to go with a defensive pipeline that produces NFL starters every single year. The portal era has everybody thinking they can buy a championship overnight but we built ours brick by brick under this staff. I saw somebody comparing us to programs that brought in 40-plus transfers like that is something to brag about. We do not need to overhaul our roster every December because we actually develop the kids we sign lmao. We have the top recruiting class in the SEC right now and we are not done yet. People keep screaming about parity and the death of conferencce dominance but the SEC still holds the most talented rosters.

My grandson asked me why these kids bounce around so much and I told him back in the 1980s we had guys like David Pollack who committed with a handshake and sstayed four years. NIL turned loyalty into a bidding war and I hate what it did to the game.

You see ESPN breaking down how these 21 five-stars fit into some modern system and I just think about Coach Dooley. He did not need a scouting report on how a kid fit. He looked a boy in the eye, asked if he wanted to hit somebody, and built a team around grit. These kids toda...

How ESPN drops the 2027 five-star breakdown with 21 prospects and the narrative is already set that Oregon is the only team that matters? Meanwhile we are sitting there in the top 25 class rankings grinding like we always do and people act like. Let me tell you about a tailgate last September outside Sanford before the Tennessee State game. We had the whole lot going, three generations of Dawgs, the smell of brats and bourbon mixing with that Georgia humidity. My uncle pulled out a faded hat from the 80s and started telling stries about Herschel. That is what this program is built on, not just star rankings. Oregon can stack all the five-stars they want but they do not have Saturdays in Athens with 93,000 people singing Glory Glory. We are not panicking about recruiting rankings in June because we know what happens when these kids step on campus. The development here is different. The culture is different. We are not chasing headlines, we are building a program that wins in November and December. Let them sleep on us at No. 24 or wherever we sit right now. We have been here before and we know how this story ends.
