If you check the comments under this X post, you can feel the Dark Side working deep inside Dawg fans’ hearts.
PR? Grace? Who knows. Someday there will be a great book written about the Smart years, addressing Boom, Beck, moving violations, and so much more.
I know I’d buy a copy.
I had 2 problems with Beck:
1) The way he acted in New Orleans like he was there against his will.
2) He could have said all of this when he decided to go to Miami and nipped Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler’s narrative in the bud. He elected to do Instagram videos with his girlfriend instead.
Better late than never, but he’s not really welcome in Athens going forward if you ask me (whether he’s a DGD or not).
Someone should write a book about the 2015 season and the coaching staff first and foremost. What exactly was going with Brian Schottenheimer as OC? Some has to know the truth behind Jeremy Pruitt stories. Did Thomas Brown and Pruitt come to blows during Thanksgiving at Richt’s house? There is so much about that season that we have heard, I want to know what really went on. Enduring the 2015 season, as well as the 8-4 seasons from the Goff snd Donnan eras, is what made the 2017 so so special and so much fun to be a part of.
I’ve never had a problem with Beck. The way it played out was exactly as he said. I wasn’t in New Orleans but I can just as easily imagine he was severely disappointed in the way his season ended early and he was losing what he thought was his last chance at a NC.
I did notice by the second Miami playoff game Herbstreit pushed back a little on the “Beck was mistreated by UGA” shtick. And I hate Herbie but I think they got a little blowback on that false narrative.
If Beck hated Georgia and wasn’t a DGD, he had plenty of chances to leave when he lost “his job” to a 5’10” walk-on. He admitted he had growing to do. But he waited 4 years to start at UGA when he could have bolted to plenty of other teams.
Sound, rational commentary. You must be banned from the other Dawg blogs. 🤣
Just move the Fuck on….GO DAWGS!!
The only reason Beck issued his statement was for his own PR campaign and how it affects his draft stock in the eyes of the NFL. He’s a mid player and a mid person.
He is an alum just as I am. I was probably a bigger shithead as a student in the 1970s than Beck was in the 2020s. I have nothing against him and I appreciate the 24 (?) wins we had with him as starter.
