Brother; u know we’re mostly on the same page majority of the time, but let me chime in really quick:
We’re not playing Bama, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, UGA, ****, not even Clemson on a seasonal basis. We’re playing GT, VT, Duke, UNC, Pitt, UVA, FSU, one G5 OCC, and one FCS school on an annual basis, champ. The ACC did us a solid & put us in the weakest division in the ACC & arguably the weakest division of all of P5. Despite our very own talent gap in our own division, we literally have chit to show for it, for 16 years, my guy!
So our coaches are recruiting the players, maybe not the best of the best, but definitely the next tier that are far better, per their rankings, than our common opponents, and yet we are constantly wearing Depends, bro.
So if we can’t compete in our own division w/ any certainty, what’s going to attract top kids to come here? We are just now starting to get back to playing a national schedule, and that was when Richt was here, and boy is that about to be a mess.
The ingredients have been in place to have a 4 star restaurant, yet we’re hiring fast food cooks. The moment we hire a real chef, which means we need new Mgmt to do that, then we’ll become a fine establishment again, able to compete w/ these other 5 star restaurants (best analogy I could come up w during my fast, as I’m hungry af. Lol)
