I can't take anybody seriously who uses a word like this? Are you 10 years old? or just intellectually on that level?

Not really. I said two were cheating, one is not a rival. Georgia's massive increase in recruiting with an unproven head coach in a years time after a poor first year kind of hints.

There is better recruiting, and then there is rising dramatically. Last team to be so obviously cheating was Ole Miss. There fans denied it too of course. I'm sure we all have booster gifts that do not coordinate with the coaches or recruiting personnel. Georgia's rise didnt happen by doing what everyone else does though.

Georgia when Kirby came was a upper middle program. No title in 35 years, not even a title game. Was second fiddle to Florida and well below LSU and Bama.

He has a very average first year. Then lands a top class well beyond what Georgia usually got? Hrm. If you do not understand why everyone but your fans are suspicious, it is kind of easy to see. Was the same with Ole Miss. Very obvious, very blatant. Recruits need a reason to go to a school. Georgia didn't have the NFL pipeline of Bama, LSU, OSU, or even Florida. Didn't have a proven HC like Clemson, Bama, etc.

Yet continuously beat these better programs out at an absurdly astonishing rate. Wonder how. Guess it is his fun personality that never showcases itself except behind closed doors.

You don't think the rival with no championships might have given an obvious hint? Let me see....who could that possibly be? Let's see how you put it?

3. Two teams in the SEC are well known to be offering "benefits." One is obvious, one is somewhat obvious based on how he recruited at his other school. I'll let you guess which two they are. Title droughts are a good hint.

Naw. How could anybody possibly guess?

Then, just in case somebody didn't get that you added:
5. They suspect one team in the SEC has started too give extra "benefits", but no one has directly told them(players looking for counter offers). Newer coach, from the same system as another "benefit giving" head coach. Thinks it may be short term if it is happening to just get a more stable roster with talent that has been lacking at the program.

No. Who could possibly guess who you were talking about?

Stay classy, dude. Be above all of the riff raff calling out programs over unsubstantiated claims.

Been awhile, but I have. Frankly, I don't care. I just thought with all the accusations (Whether from Auburn fans or others) that that fan was saying basically the same thing to an Alabama fan.

It just seems dumb for any fan of a major college football program to point fingers and scream, "You're cheating but we aren't!"

I said one was a rival. One was not.

The hint was to let people have fun guessing. But if must know. Aggies were the other team. You can speculate on the rival.

As for five. That isn't Georgia.

Never mind Kirby recruited great at Alabama? How could he possibly recruit well at georgia? First y'all say georgia is an underachieving program because we haven't won while in a state with so much talent, now that we put an emphasis on recruiting we are cheating by getting all these good players? make up your mind, will you?

Georgia dramatically went from a 6-8 recruiting ranking to a #2-3 recruting program? That is dramatic to you?
Then I guess going from #14 to #9 is pretty dramatic, too? Isn't that what Florida did?

So it surprises you that UGA has a good year recruiting after they have their best season in decades while their 2 main rivals are down? The same people that say UGA recruits itself and anyone could have top 10 classes at UGA are the same that think Kirby is cheating because he's recruiting well...

2014: 8th
2015: 6th
2016: 6th (Kirby’s first year and class)
2017: 3rd
2018: 1st (after winning the SEC and playing for a Natty)
2019: 2nd
2020: 5th (currently)

I mean the fricking audacity, right??? A new, young coach leaves the premier program in football after a decade to return to his alma mater in one of the top 4 talent producing states in the country and *gasp* he improves recruiting by 3 spots in 2 years, wins the conference and plays for the team’s first title in 37 years, and now he has the #1 class???

OUTRAGE! CHEATING! OLE MISS! PLAIN AS DAY!

Where has UGA recruited over the last decade, and where has OM recruited? OM made a meteoric rise with the Reverend Freeze like OM had never experienced before. UGA not so much as they've always pulled talent. Kirby took it to another level from what Richt did in his last yrs.
