“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
Hmm, I confess I didn’t see this one coming. Whatever the kid did to get his walking papers at FSU, it must not have involved groping, theft, forgery, assault, classroom disruption, or multiple drug-screen failures.
What’s left? And specifically, after what the CFB world has seen in recent years from Jimbo, what WOULD get someone tossed from such a disciplinary bastion like FSU? I suppose CMR and CJP know what they’re doing here. I sure hope so. Are we about to turn another corner in our new commitment to winning?
Nope, no way did I see this one coming. Not saying it’s right or wrong, just unexpected.

I thought the exact same thing, Cannon. My God, what could it have been?

And almost entirely on-topic, but are these rumors out there about Jimbo’s wife a real thing, or am I getting caught up in some massive Internet hoax?

What rumors?

Remember when Cam got booted from Urban Meyer’s Florida team? WTH did he do to get the boot there? Auburn taking him wasn’t such a big surprise.
Maybe, this kid just had a personalty conflict with the coaches, or slept with Jimbo’s daughter. Who knows?

tell me if i’m missing something, but i see a suggestion that the kid went with his old coach without an invite:
“Ferguson now coaches at Arabia Mountain High, and Eligwe rode to UGA with another one of the team’s coaches on Thursday to make the surprise appearance.”
and this:
“The Bulldogs are tight on scholarship numbers after signing 29 recruits this past year. Of course, a spot could open up if any of the team’s current quarterbacks (or other position players) decide to transfer before the season.”
i am inclined to think that it’s not likely he was invited. ajc is perhaps just click-trolling.

I guess this means that our linebackers are terrible!

We recruited him and Pruitt coached him. Must know him well enough to be okay with him hanging out on campus. In Pruitt I trust.

Found this rumor on the net, if this is true and he did come to UGA he would be on a very very short leash. http://www.chatsports.com/florida-state-seminoles/a/Rumor-FSU-LB-Ukeme-Eligwe-Kicked-Off-Team-For-Too-Many-Positive-Marijuana-Tests-10-145-369
