Anyone know if this is true.....why wouldn't they send an NLI to EJ?
Because he told us we had no chance?

Was GT Coach Geoff Collins serious when he said that stuff about Waffle House? He was just on ESPN2 talking about how Waffle House was founded by GT grads and the upper corporate management of Waffle House are all GT boosters, and everybody loves Waffle House, and the players like being associated with that brand. So that's something that gives GT an advantage over, "the school northwest of us," meaning UGA. He was also wearing a shirt that said 404 (the Atlanta area code) and worked mentions of "the 404" into his interview three times.

I want to believe his performance was an Onion-like satirical spoof of Oregon's association with Nike, Ohio State calling Michigan "the school up north" and Miami's overdone reference to "the 305." I'm not sure he's that clever, though.
Did he really say "northwest" or was that a typo on your part? If he said that someone needs to get him a map of Georgia.

They’re defending it now. Saying he’s a hybrid WR/RB. If that’s true, he should definitely look at UF. Petrine showed we will pass to the RB.

Regardless of how they label him, he's an all purpose back, which makes him ideal here because of the way we've used Perine as you said. If he goes to Stanford because of academics, ok. But the A&M move would be a major failure on our part, and also probably a bad decision for him.

He’s got UF front and center... Emmitt wearing neutral colors, no Gator colors at all. No surprise.

You got twins too?
We do. Kinda weird this year when they went off to college leaving us as "empty nesters." I kept waiting for Mrs G. to look at me at dinner one night and say "now what?" or worse, "why did I marry you again?"
As bad as it was for us, it's worse for the dog. When we got her, the kids were 6 and she has suddenly gotten very clingy - Mrs. G. says it's particularly bad when I have to go out of town for work.

And I'm fine with this. Because, if the NCAA creates a "rule" or something to prevent this then it'll be like Government intervention and will suck the life out of the current system. Equity is something to strive for but not be mandated or manipulated.

If we want to be included in this top tier, and I know I do, then we need to develop and beat our better opponents on game day.

Has DB Avery Helm been mentioned?

8:21 a.m.: Florida’s fax machine isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Gators have received signed letters of intent from offensive lineman Josh Braun, defensive back Avery Helm and tight end Jonathan Odom within the past 20 minutes.
When will we start saying the scanned emails aren’t slowing down. ****ing fax machines.

LSU loses Raheem Jarrett to Maryland. That was their top WR recruit.
I don't know if Locksley can be a successful head coach (or if anyone can at Maryland), but he's a hell of a recruiter. Always has been.

Edit: Maybe not so great a recruiter after all; per 247, the 2020 class @ Maryland is currently standing at one 5*, one 4*, & 26 3*s.
