Hopefully that’s enough to beat Kansas👀

Gotta think Arch Manning to Texas (in ‘23) is de facto job security for Sark.

Peyton Manning went to Tennessee and Eli Manning went to Ole Miss because that's where David Cutcliffe was. Arch Manning is headed to Texas because that's where Steve Sarkisian is. Pretty simple.

Will Arch find success in Austin? This is a big win for the Longhorns and Sarkisian, but there’s a long way to go toward building Texas back as a national powerhouse.
We’ll see how Manning fares in 2023 and beyond!
I called it.
Good job
lol you and a million others… congrats
Everyone predicted Texas. But he’s not signed yet!!! I still believe he ends up somewhere in the SEC long before 2025!!!
Georgia is as good a pick as any!!! I wanted him and still do. Still ill be the first to say. I will never understand the rating system. He is a perfect 1000 recruit with 247. Yet compare his stats to Gunner Stockton. And he also plays against easier competition than Gunner. That doesn’t always mean much. But I’m just saying. Yes, I want anyone with the last name Manning.
But I don’t feel robbed at all with what Georgia already has! That being Carson Beck, Brock Vandagriff and Gunner Stockton. All former 5 star recruits!!!!
Gunner Stockton holds every Georgia passing record with 177 touchdown passes. And 20+ more touchdown runs than D’shaun Watson at 77 touchdowns on the ground!!!!
If I don’t get the name Manning. Then give me those stats every single time!!! LOL
Texas got a great one. If they can hold on to him!!! Good luck and much love still to Arch and the Manning Family!!! : )
PS. Texas can’t make excuses about QB talent anymore!!!! LOL
GO DAWGS!!!!!
Negan
If he didnt have the bloodline he had, would he have received this much media attention?
This should put them over the top and get that 6th win next year to be bowl eligible again.
The final deciding factor will be the game against Kansas! LOL
He could be really good, then again, he could really flop against great competition.
I remember seeing him struggle all game long on TV against a middle of the pack Florida team.
i heard him struggling against that florida team was the reasoning that uga cooled on him. #foreshadowing
PTheRicker……..I love Georgia but come on now. We didn’t get him. But we didn’t cool on him!!!! Kirby wanted him to the very end. I still want him. One thing I hate from a rival. Is when they are red hot on a kid WHEN IT APPEARS THEY ARE GETTING HIM. Then the second he commits elsewhere. Boom suddenly he sucks!!! I literally can’t stand that in rivals or anyone really.
SO I SURE DON’T WANT GEORGIA TO BECOME THAT KIND OF FAN BASE!!!! LETS SHOW CLASS HERE!!!!
Wish him the best and be happy he considered Georgia!!! If he gets Fed up with Texas we might still have a shot.
PS. Either way. Remain classy about it!!!
Negan
I’m just glad he didn’t go to bama.
I think every team that lost out on him is pretty happy with their QB rooms. Him committing early should help Texas with recruiting, but I don’t see them winning a title while he’s there. Sark can develop a QB. Nothing in his history says he is a good HC.
LSUSMC…….Oh no! Even I believed we had a little longer!!!
PS. Get your affairs in order people. I just agreed with LSUSMC!!! LOL
Negan
I would say the same for Kelly at LSU!
You try so hard.
please spare us from any more tony barnhart, aka ‘mr.cfb’ tweets. total pompous tweet. the day that guy has a novel opinion will be his first.
Are you referring to Negan?
Looks like Kirby’s sad and desperate recruiting stunts failed. Maybe he will learn the lesson that flying around in a helicopter painted in the colors of a rival school made him look like as clown.
mrtruth…… Here is some real truth to your post!!! If you can take the truth!!!
” Looks like Kirby’s sad and desperate recruiting stunts failed. Maybe he will learn the lesson that flying around in a helicopter painted in the colors of a rival school made him look like as clown. ”
I’ll bet he doesn’t paint that chopper for each and every visit but get this…..
Nobody will ever be the clown show that Mullen was and is!!! He helped continue the legendary reputation of gator football. AS BIG_MOUTH_U!!! Pun absolutely intended!!!!
Y’all have the absolute PERFECT MASCOT…..
The only thing a gator does all day. Is lay around in the mud or under the water. They keep their mouth open nearly ALWAYS! It’s a way to cool down! You know the mud is almost as low as it gets right? Except the water goes even lower!!! You don’t have to worry about COOLING DOWN. Because this is as mediocre and as cool as I ever recall Florida being. Since at least just before 1980 or so!!!! Florida is a dirty program. Thus the SHOW-CAUSE from the NCAA! LOL
So a muddy/dirty mud lizard with its mouth constantly wide open without teeth. That is the absolute PERFECT PICTURE of the current program in Gainesville!!!!!
PS. Sorry but that’s the TRUTH!!!!!! LOL

I would rather swing and miss with a 5 star recruit. Than have the expectations Florida has right now. If you get a 5 star. You basically know THAT’S IT! Then you hope and pray Georgia, LSU or Alabama doesn’t take him away!!!! Tennessee and Kentucky are passing Florida in recruiting. Kentucky has beaten Florida. And I expect them to probably keep beating Florida. Tennessee will eventually realize they have to beat Florida to be concerned close to back. It’s MENTAL with Tennessee right now. Because personally I think last season they were much better than Florida!!! I’m not convinced just yet that Tennessee is on their way back. But if they continue to get better on offense or just remain dangerous. Then improve on defense. Then everyone best lookout for Tennessee if that happens!!! And their is buzz at Missouri!!! We will see what happens.
The one guaranteed thing for all gators everywhere to worry about. Not to mention ALL of college football. THAT IS THE BEAST FROM THE EAST. DESPITE THE ALL TIME NFL DRAFT RECORDS, RECENTLY SET BY GEORGIA. Georgia is still loaded.
IN FACT GEORGIA SET ” MULTIPLE ” NEW NFL DRAFT RECORDS! NOT JUST ONE. Georgia had the most ever #1 OVERALL NFL DRAFT PICKS. Georgia set a new record for the most FIRST ROUND PICKS. Georgia also set a record for most overall NFL DRAFT PICKS! Still a few of our guys deserved WAY BETTER! Like Nekobe Dean for example. He was and is a FIRST ROUND TALENT on anyone’s chart. Unless they are a total idiot!!!! There were others as well. Too many to post now….
Any other team not named Georgia or Alabama. Would be looking at a complete rebuild right now and likely a bad season! The kind Florida has been having for a looooooong time.
Even your asterisk sec championship season, of 2020. WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE OVERALL! Y’all lost 4 games. Including the SHOE BOWL! And then you lost by 5 touchdowns to OU. In the EMBARRASSMENT BOWL!!!! Congratulations on beating the Georgia scout team thanks to injuries to 80% of the starting defense. And easily 45% of the starting offense. Including no George Pickens among others! Even the replacement players got injured in the game!!!
But still congratulations on your best memories. Never say I didn’t give you any credit. You beat a very stout, scout team!!! LOL
That was literally the highlight of gator football since 2016 on. Unless you count close losses to Alabama!!! LOL
POINT IS THIS…..
ITS WAY BETTER, TO BE IN THE FINAL 2 FOR THE #1 PLAYER. AFTER WINNING THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. THAN TO BE A MEDIOCRE HAS BEEN SEC PROGRAM. ALWAYS REBUILDING AND CONTINUOUSLY EMBARRASSING ITSELF AND THE CONFERENCE!!!!!
PS. After all that talent leaving for the NFL. Georgia still has just as many 5 star and blue-chip players as last season. Ain’t that a B for rivals???
HOW’S THAT FOR TRUTH, TRUTHY?????
