It's really fun as a football fan watching an entire sports network drooling at the mouth to rip your team apart
And for what? not bending the knee when they were told they weren't good enough? Getting gaslighted by paid journalists? Getting told the team isn't the same without the QB? and then told the rest of the team was a bunch of quitters? that it exposes the culture of FSU, because "Alabama had players come back for the Sugar Bowl last year"
"They should go out and prove they belonged"
Proved to who? The committee??
This is no longer sports rivalry...this is hatred that goes beyond the field now. I'm not sure alot of SEC fans understand, and with how their fanbases act like 6th grade IQ flunkies, I'm not sure they ever will. It's not a pissing contest with Alabama or Georgia. That's simply what ESPN told you it was
I've honestly never seen such vitriol directed at a team, in a very personal fashion, spearheaded by network
The only crime by FSU was literally winning every game, and this team was thrown under the bus like something I've never seen.
I seriously question the mental health of this sport. I don't think the sport is in a good place
------
But...I digress
I know ESPN likes to blow Georgia and Alabama every time they can, so the narrative is now Georgia is the best ever again and should have been in the playoffs
But how do you gauge their win? How bad was the team FSU fielded last night?
If you go back over FSU's schedule and compare last night's team with their 2023 opponents, I've got them at 4-8, losing to LSU, Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Miami, Pitt, Florida, and possibly Virginia Tech.
Essentially Georgia beat a 4-8ish team
These are good days for Georgia fans.
They got a mulligan against Alabama in 2021
Drew TCU in the national championship in 2022
And got to play the snubbed team where almost the entire 2-deep opted out in 2023
The good news is Beck is coming back for a cool 1mil
The bad news is that they actually have to play real games during the regular season with road trips at Alabama, at Texas, and at Ole Miss. Gone is the tapdance through the SEC East
