It can’t be easy watching Arik Gilbert spurn your program and sign with Georgia. It’s only natural to search for answers in this crazy world as to why a talented kid would make such a dumb decision when he had it all right in his hands. It’s even more natural, once the frustration passes and you stop seething, to explain it all away.
You know about the seven stages of grief, right? Here’s what they are in Gatorland:
- Kirby has bag men. Dan doesn’t.
- Georgia lacks academic standards, unlike Florida.
- Gilbert will be wasted at tight end in Athens, unlike in Gainesville.
- Kirby will underachieve, as always, unlike Mullen, who always gets the most out of his talent.
- If Georgia doesn’t win a natty, it will be an embarrassment, unlike at Florida.
- When Kirby doesn’t win a championship this season, his seat will get hot. Dan just got a contract extension.
- 1980
Fun offseason, eh?

And, I’ll say the only thing that makes the whole thing more enjoyable is that Tennessee and Tech fans legit thought he was landing in Neyland or at Mark Richt Field this fall.
You love to see it.

The pressure on Kirby and UGA to win is going to be intense (more so from a national perspective). When looking at the schedule, I think that’s fair, too. With what Georgia has coming back, coming in, and on the schedule, anything less than 11-1 is a massive failure, and 11-1 itself would seem disappointing in many ways. Whether they can get past the bogey man in Atlanta is something entirely different.

Worse than 2 losses is almost a fireable offense.

Well that part about Kirby winning a National Championship is more that likely right. Don’t think it will be happening.

There’s only one set of circumstances where your rivals constantly accuse you of having bag men everywhere: when you’re kicking their ass repeatedly

The Senator frequently notes that the players are already getting paid by bag men in college football.
Are we to suppose Georgia is the only program in college football not engaged in that activity?
The one pure and holy program?

We have become them and they have become us. The best part of yesterday? The Portal Master gets an extension and Kirby lands the two biggest pieces left on the board out of the portal. If you are a pragmatic Gator; yesterday was a really bad day.

Speaking of the Clemson kid coming in, what do you think, Senator? Are our secondary problems finally solved? We got this kid, the WV kid, the Bama transfer and the talent on hand wasn’t to shabby looking, albeit young and inexperienced. Do we finally stop wringing our hands now about the DBs going up against Clemson and D.J. Uareugly in game 1?
