I see when I scroll through that ESPN offseason ranking and they start grading all these portal hauls and NIL valuations? I see the death of everything that made this sport worth watching. And I will die on this hill. You remember the 1985 team? Not a single transfer on the roster. Not one. We went to the Sun Bowl that year and every single kid in that locker room had been recruited the old fashioned way. Coach Vince Dooley brought them in as freshmen, developed them for three or four years, and by the time they were seniors they would have run through a brick wall for those hedges. You cannot buy that kind of loyalty with a checkbook and you cannot find it in the transfer portal. Now we are sitting here in 2026 and every single program in America is just trading players like baseball cards. Oklahoma State brought in 50 transfers. Fifty. Colorado brought in 43. That is not building a program, that is running a fantasy football league. And the worst part is we are doing it too. Kirby Smart is a great coach, one of the best we have ever had, but even he has to play this game now. You cannot win a national championship in 2026 without winning the portal and that makes me sick to my stomach. I think about the 1992 team that took us to the Florida Citrus Bowl. Those kids had been in the system for years. They knew the fight songs. They knew the traditions. They understood what it meant to put on that silver britches because they had been dreaming about it since they were ten years old. Now you got kids transferring in for a bag of cash who could not even point to Athens on a map six months ago. The spring portal window was supposed to be eliminated starting this year and thank God for that because it was turning into a circus. But the damage is already done. You look at a program like Indiana winning a national title last year and good for them I guess but how many of those kids were actually Hoosiers? How many of them grew up wanting to play for Indiana? None of them. They were mercenaries. That is what we have now. Mercenaries. And we are supposed to get excited about it. ESPN wants us to grade the offseason based on who bought the best players and I just cannot do it. I watch the NFL Draft this week and I see all these kids who plaed for three different schools in four years and I wonder what happened to the game I grew up loving. We used to have rivalries that meant something because the same kids played against each other year after year. You knew the names on the other side of the ball. You hated them and you respected them because you had been battling them since you were both freshmen. Now you do not even know who is going to be on your own roster from one week to the next. I miss the days when you earned your spot in the two-deep by grinding through summer workouts and beating out a guy who had been in the program for three years. Not by entering your name into some database and taking a higher bid. NIL killed this sport. Th...
