Boy, talk about your blast from the past ($$).
Kirby Smart, for all of the games that he’s won at Georgia, is under intense pressure to win now. Adding transfers like Derion Kendrick will certainly make the 2021 squad better, but I haven’t heard much about if this is the right thing to do morally or ethically. Kendrick was kicked off the Clemson team for discipline issues BEFORE being arrested on drug and gun charges just three months ago. I feel like under Mark Richt a player with that history would be untouchable. For all that you could say about Richt, he always did things “the right way” and displayed class at all times. Is the pressure on Kirby to win now causing him to lower his standards on who puts on the silver britches? I hate to sound so self-righteous, but I also have two degrees from the school hanging on my wall.
Georgia fans fretting about the football program doing the ethically moral thing takes me back. Missed y’all. In fact, I’m surprised I haven’t heard this take more often.
Next thing you know, we’ll have folks waxing nostalgic about Jimmy Williamson.

I trust Kirby did his due diligence on all of the transfers before taking their commitments. We recruited Gilbert and Kendrick, so Kirby definitely knew those guys. Addae coaches Smith at WVU, so I’m sure Kirby knew exactly what he was getting. I would assume Kirby looked into the thing with Kendrick to make sure he wasn’t taking an unnecessary risk.

Mr. Smith was a good choice, the other two student athletes may be more of the “rented for a season” types…unless Mr. Kendrick wishes to smudge some shit in klempzens eye, both, he and Mr. Gilbert will be on their bestish behavior and gone to the next level…

A reader mailbag is as much an “alleged news article” as one of my blog comment threads or a message board comment.
Again, why so worked up? I brought it up because it’s not an atypical response from a Georgia fan. What that’s got to do with Emerson, I don’t know.

It seems to me that the hate for The Athletic is strong with the commentators here. I always thought it was a respectable news source but I don’t pay any attention to it during the off season and only subscribe during the season for Seth’s beat so I’m not sure if it’s changed as of late.
