There’s much ado about the age of the Indiana football team with their 23 and 23 year old athletes, benefactors of a loose portal and COVID year exemptions. So how do we keep this new found strategy going once the COVID exceptions are gone?

Here’s one way.

So…we can play a freshman or JUCO transfer in nine of the games (isn’t that the number of conference games or something?) and then declare the year a redshirt year and get more time with him even after a nearly full season of play.

At this point, why not? Heck, give them two redshirt years while you’re at it.

Somewhere, Luke Ford’s gotta be pissed.

Well, I have to say I didn’t know this:

Well. And just imagine if he hadn’t been held all night long against Ole Miss.

Coming Back Home

Georgia’s first pick up in the portal is a former North Oconee kid coming back after three years.

Welcome home…and let’s hope this strengthens the secondary. Now go get some trench warriors, too!

Always Be Cruitin…Personified

If this isn’t a testament to Kirby’s dedication to recruiting, I don’t know what is. Apparently one of his recruiting analysts is Andrew Smart.

I guess when Kirby gets too old he can just hand the family business over to the kids.

Someday there will be a statue, and it will be well-deserved.

’Cruitin’ versus Lootin’

Well here’s a stat that tells you most everything you need to know.

90% of the guys that Kirby puts out in the starting lines are recruits, not transfers. For Joey Freshwater, nearly two-thirds of his starters are transfers. No wonder no one was sad to see him leave for LSU in that locker room. It’s a good thing Sumrall knows how to coach transfers, because by the looks of it, most of the current Gators roster is bolting for less cow-shit infested pastures.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, JMU’s social media team is something to follow. But they likewise weighed in on the personnel issue:

Kirby has been known to do well with a few “others” like McConkey and Jordan Davis and Stetson Bennett.

Gotta admit, I’ll be pulling for JMU. Which is likely their kiss of death, based on my current Fabris Poll results.

I can hear Samuel L. Jackson as I type that. Regarding Dan Lanning’s pot shot to SEC scheduling, here’s some fine numbers to consider.

If Lanning isn’t careful, he may soon have another analyst job in Kirby’s staff in Athens. Can’t say that he’s accomplished all that much in his time at Oregon, even with their Charmin-soft scheduling and massive recruiting payrolls.

I guess that’s what happens when you’re listening to the Dead and enjoying too much west coast lettuce…or maybe something else.

And that was after beating Penn State, people.

Big Dumb Eyes Tryin’ to Steal Our ‘Croots

Comedian Nate Bergatze may be the hot comedian of the moment (his portrayal of George Washington’s Dream on SNL being one of the rare funny skits in recent living memory), but he’s feeling froggy and going on the ‘crootin trail for 5-star QBs for his favorite team, Vanderbilt.

Now that Vandy is the hot new thang in college football, their newly-famous funny man made a pass or two this past GameDay for our 5-star QB commit Jared Curtis of Nashville Christian.

Kirby’s reaction? He’s “not going to get into gimmicks and stuff”.

Plus, he’s got the big guns of his own should CKS ever feel the need to get our own comedic talent , one who’s gone behind enemy lines and one I would imagine be formidable as a celebrity recruiter for the Dawgs. *

*The last link is to a Facebook post on Jeff Foxworthy’s page, so if you can’t access it, Jeff tells the story of being a lifetime Bulldawg pursuing a degree at Georgia Tech and getting in fights over his Bulldog fandom in the Tech student section. Funny stuff.

Comment below with your Foxworthy-ish take on redneck jokes. I’ll go first:

“If you quit watching the Oscars because “Revenge of the Nerds” got snubbed for a Best Picture nomination, youuuuuuuuuu might be a Jacket.”

For context:

“Until the very end” might be the actual start when it comes to recruiting in Austin, Texas.

I hope he knows what he’s getting in to…

Maybe in Texas, “RBU” stands for “revenue brought you” to Austin, amirite?
