Win Or NFL Success?

With the NFL Draft barely in the rear view mirror and the NBA Draft on the horizon, there is an awful lot of grandstanding this time of year.
Instead of discussing the outcome of the past season, the argument tends to veer towards the level of success or failure of past players on a professional level.
For recruiting purposes, it makes complete sense. It’s much easier to sell a recruit on your school if you have examples of players who played the same position and found success at the next level.
Lane Kiffin’s Twitter Account

Over the past few years my adoration for Charles Barkley has increased exponentially.
For the most part it has very little to do with his actual NBA career or his analytical ability when it comes to breaking down the NBA. I enjoy watching Barkley because he is pure entertainment. The anti-Skip Bayless, if you will. I could watch him discuss just about anything.
As much as it pains me to admit this, because I really don’t care a lot for this guy as a person or coach, but I am really starting to enjoy Lane Kiffin. More specifically, I love Lane Kiffin’s Twitter account.

Before anyone loses their mind, yes, we know Tech won’t be representing the East this year in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
They will however have a chance to improve their record against the east to 4-0 when they face Tennessee to kick off the season in that very same stadium on September 4th.

Last June as I watched D’Antne Demery commit to The University of Georgia at a ceremony at Brunswick High School and I was overcome with pride as ‘Big Man’, as we call him, became the first Pirate to sign with UGA right out of high school at a position of need for the Bulldogs which is offensive line.
Now 10 short months later I read this on the internet posted by several UGA media sites copied from Police Reports:

Rejoice Georgia Bulldog fans, the first game of the 2017 season is upon us!
Ok, so it is actually the second if you count National Signing Day as a competition, and it is only a scrimmage.
However, it is not a replay and for those of us starved for football at this time of year, we will take it!
ACC Is Better Than SEC

Let me start by saying I picked North Carolina to cut down the nets this past Monday night and I have the SSE article from a couple of weeks ago to prove it.
I have been mulling this article over on my mind for a few weeks now. Folks that know me know that I am a die-hard SEC supporter and I make no bones about it.
So, take notice when I type this this next sentence. The ACC is better right now than the SEC. Yes, I said it. Now that I have that out of the way here is why.
SEC Odds

While spring practice is going on all over the college football world, The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas released their odds to reach the Southeastern Conference championship game.
It is really a mystery as to how they handicap a league even before an entire recruiting class, however Vegas wasn’t built on winners so it often pays to heed their prognostications.
Georgia Bulldogs Offense Preview

As G-Day rolls around once again for the Georgia Bulldogs what will unfold for the Georgia Bulldogs in 2017.
93,000 showed up excited for the spring game last year, and despite that excitement the Dawg struggled at times and finished with an 8-5 record after dropping home games to Vandy, Tennessee, and GT.
The 2016 Dawgs did not know how to finish teams off. The defense played well enough to win 10 games last year but the offense struggled moving the ball in key moments against the Florida’s of the world and mental mistakes like a late interception against Georgia Tech that set up a winning drive for the Jackets.
Fast forward to year two in the Kirby regime and things look a lot better after Smart hauled in the highest ranked recruiting class in a long time in the Classic City.
Georgia Bulldogs Thin At QB

The Georgia Bulldogs will not be kicking off their spring practice for another couple of weeks, but that does not stop the news from coming out of Athens.
Georgia lost not one, but two players that decided to transfer from the program as graduates. One was defensive back, Reggie Wilkerson, and the other was Camden County’s own, quarterback Brice Ramsey.
