Not because I am a UA fan but actually hope AU gets hammered in that game. If they do not have a great season they will miss on more than they get. It would also help teams like UT who are chasing Lawson. AU loses CGM after a rough season. Easy to make excuses one season but 2 in a row especially after recently winning the NC.

That's a great point too. I should have thought about that one. However, I think irrelevant of Auburn's season, if we have a good year then we are in it until NSD with Lawson.

I saw that. Not sure how much I believe it though. Could y'all be out front? Definitely. But I just see this being a Bama/UGA battle, not Bama/Clemson.

The Percy Harvin stuff is crap, y'all aren't going to run the spread and everyone knows that. Saban isn't going to trust any QB more than he trusts an off tackle run. Especially with Yeldon in the backfield, kid seems to be a beast.

I sure you do see it that way in those homer colored glasses. When the season shakes out, and Tennessee breaks out of their 4 year down period. You will see that there is more excitement at Tennessee than stagnant schools such as UGA.

Bama is trying to get Kamara to warm up to the possibility of playing another position, im hearing thats the reason Henry hasnt went public. Bama really wants him but can take the chance of telling him he wont play RB and lose out on him because of the 2014 kids they are in good shape with ( Scarbrough( who will play WR more than likely), Thomas, & Fournette). I see Kamara going to UT or UGA if he wants to play RB.

UGA just got big help with Kamara in my opinion. Crowell is about to hit the door and that just opened up a few carries. I would be willing to bet GA ends up with either Henry or Kamara or both.

@Niebuhr247: RT @a_kamara6: It's crazy how fast doors open up. //// Now what could RB prospect Alvin Kamara possibly be talking about? #sarcasm

Yeah the Crowell deal is not good for us in getting Kamara, but is what it is. At this pt I'm not worried about getting him or anyone else cause I know everything depends on how our season goes.

The door has been wide open for a few years at UT, Alvin. Doors, windows...they're all wide open in Knoxville.

Exactly, I don't know if either situation is any different at this point. If Kamara is as good as advertised, he will play when he gets to UT as well.

Problem is these kids now a days don't want to be the only workhorse on the team. 3yrs of getting beat the heck up isn't good for them and their chances in the league. With ugas current guys and going in with green, who could recommit with this new news, it won't put all the load on him. Just IMO that's all...

I agree, I'm baffled how people still use the PT argument when elite RBs have shown for years with their school choices that they don't want to be "the guy" for 3-4 years. If anything, losing your best RB will hurt recruiting (typically, anyway) because now your run-game won't be as good, AND you'll lose more games, making your school less attractive to elite RBs.

FWIW, I think if Kamara had to choose yesterday, he'd have chosen UGA, and that's still holds today after the Crowell news. That can change in 6 months, but I think the hit to the run game will only hurt them with elite RB recruiting.

its the fake christian culture cultivated by Richt.

This is so true. I think Richt uses his Christianity simply as a recruiting tactic to make players and their parents/grand-parents trust him more (like Marlon Brown's grandmother). The evidence suggests that Richt is not much better, if not similar or worse, than Fulmer or Meyer were with disciplining players for on and off-field misdeeds. While I certainly am not stating that Christians should be judgmental nor that Richt is false in his profession of faith but you would think that Richt would try to run a tighter ship and would be less tolerant with crime and other shenanigans than he appears to be. Richt, just like the other SEC coaches who don't talk about their faith all the time, just wants to win and his true character is revealed in how he makes choices that could impact his wins and losses (i.e., he does not hold players accountable in the hopes of winning) rather than what he says. Say what you want about Dooley's coaching abilities, etc., but he does not tolerate this kind of foolishness and I applaud him for it because it develops the type of environment a successful program must have. I think Miami is the only program in history that could thrive in spite, or perhaps because of, bad off the field stuff and eventually it even ate Miami up as well. Every program eventually topples on the field when off field discipline is lost and I think UT under Fulmer is a prime example of just that.

It's a pretty new mindset in rb recruiting so I think that's why it's not thought of by many. Honestly I'm a recent converter believer of the trend.

If our rbs show they can produce and Kamara sees he isn't going to be the featured back from day one that will really really benefit us IMO. Unfortunately, though UGA is hurt "depth" wise they have really good talent back there. Not like uscjr last yr when lattimore went down. If green recommits, and they have a solid yr then they stay in the driver seat.

Only thing with UGA is that no one knows how long Richt is going to be around for. His new contract extensions gives him the right to walk away with no penalty...there is a reason he did that...just sayin..

Yep, I don't think he would be the starter in either situation, but he would probably get carries in both.

Y'all need to take the Christianity argument out of this. The fact that kids, he didn't father or rear, get in trouble are on their parents not him.

To say that Crowell's arrest is going to help UGA with Kamara and Henry is dumb. No parent is going to see all of the arrests at UGA and bad PR and want their kid to attend UGA. Bad PR > PT.
