the AJC needs to stop acting like UGA loses out to such graet players everytime someone commits to another school. With such a small class for next year we can ill afford to sign multiple players at each skill position. We have our running back committed for 2009, and I dare say he is the one we and everyone else wanted most. We are extremely pleases with those who commit to us. Those players who commit elsewhere do not want to be at UGA and that is fine. We wish them the best of luck , but if they are not a Dawg at heart thyen they should be elsewhere. We will get our share of great players, but like every other school we can not get everyone. There is not always a place for each player at UGA and sometimes the kids would like to further the impression that they are wanted by schools that may in fact not be pursuing them. So please AJC get a perspective on this whole recruiting game.

Hey 5th STRING, ever been inside LSU’s facilities? Ever been inside UGA’s, for that matter? LSU has probably the best overall athletic facility in the country, and it’s not even close between the two. Stop being such a homer and congratulate the kid on making a solid choice for his career. I’m a Tucker grad and a Florida grad, and I’m just as disappointed as you obviously are that he didn’t choose us too, but no need to get petty and hurl insults at a kid who could flatten you if you said that nonsense to his face.

Come on dawg people. The kid said the facilities are better at LSU. Guess what, he’s right. I have been all up in both of the facilities from shower rooms to the coaches offices. Not even close. For that matter, who can criticize a young man for making a decision based on track record. Georgia’s perch on the top of the pile ended when Herschel hired an agent and departed. LSU has two national championships this decade. I’m not a rocket scientist, however my brother is, he says there is a 80% chance he made the right decision. Funny as it may be the only relevant number concerning 80 anything for UGA is 1980. The last national championship for Georgia…..28 years ago. That was back in the day when a red firebird and a sack O money on a bridge in Wrightsville would get you a national championship.

By SickandTired

So JB, the decision has to be based on the fact that the young man is afraid of competition, or that he’s a loser, or that they paid him to come there, or that georgia really, really, didn’t want him, or that Miles (this is when you can insert Urban Meyer, Fulmer, Saban or just any old coach will do) is a liar and a cheat and the devil himself while Georgia has a coach as pure as the driven snow. And, if that’s the case, and all these schools are lying and paying and cheating, tell me how does Georgia even compete when it comes to recruiting. If you are really honest with yourself and take a look at it, the answer is obvious, Georgia does it too and in a lot of cases does it better. But that would require facing up to some realities that the basic Georgia fan doesn’t have the brain cells to conjure up.

This is Les Miles. I am the head football coach at LSU. I have been reading the Constipation-Urinal’s UGA coverage and these threads for some time now, and based on the size your egos and imaginations, have come to the realization that any attempt to win a football game against your squad is futile, due to their imagined invincibility. We are going to forfeit our Oct 25 game against you. I am appealing to the other SEC coaches to do the wise thing and forfeit their games against UGA as well. Should we happen to win our division again, we will, of course, forfeit the SEC Championship as well. I sincerely hope that this will stop all of the hand-wringing and whining that goes on among the UGA fan base. Maybe Marie will begin to understand that just because her team didn’t win their division, much less their conference, there is some conspiracy theory in a parallel universive where a player can “lobby” their coach to “get to NC” and it would have some effect. Perhaps in her world, Mike Adams’ pathetic, pitiful, pandering call for a playoff after last season doesn’t appear as if it’s sour grapes from a long time playoff opponent. Perhaps if the “Dawg Nation” is given the NC trophy that they feel that they diserve, despite being on the wrong end of one of S Carolina’s 3 SEC victories, they will finally get some cheese to go with their whine. If all of UGA’s fantasies and fairy tales don’t materialize, however, you can at least make lemonade from your lemons by gathering around Lake Lanier and refilling it with your tears. Have a GREAT day.

Typical AJC. UGA is signing ONE (1) UNO running back next year. He committed a few weeks back. The spot was filled and that is that. He had to make some kind of comment and he chose to say the facilities were better and he wants to be away from home. Fine. The next recruit will say how great UGA’s dorms and weight rooms are. Its all in the eyes of the beholder. Besides, the last class has Carlton Thomas so we already have our small, quick back on campus. See you in Baton Rouge.

Sorry Doc, LSU has no more REAL championships than UGA or any other SEC school has. The BCS is a popularity poll and the champion is settyled via a vote and not on the field. The officially recognized national champion of division 1 football is Appalachian State.

All this talk of LSU national championships made me think of all the lucky breaks that LSU had to recieve to get the truly mythical one this year. The luckiest break of all, not playing the hotter UGA team i nthe SEC title game. As I’ve heard many Tigers say themselves. “We are very lucky to not get UGA in that game”. Yeah, LSU is on a great run thanks to what Nick Saban got going. But do not use your recent run of success to slight the Dawgs. If I remember correctly, just 10 years ago you guys were the perennial cellar dweller of the SEC West. Oh, and we did beat you pretty good in 2004 and 2005.

Do not begrudge him doing what’s in his own best interest, it makes you look like petty, bitter whiners. Oh wait, you are all petty, bitter whiners.

He was not being recruited as a RB! He will likely be a DB at LSU as he surely would have been at UGA, since you lose some this year and he is rated the top CB in Ga. this year. LSU has already gotten a commitment from a 5* running back in the ‘09 class (Ford). Besides LSU’s offer, Calhoun has offers from Florida and Alabama among others. If UGA does not want him, that’s UGA’s problem: three coaches who have won National Championships want him, but the Georgia coaching staff and the whining Dawg Nation surely know better. But at least get his collegiate position right—DB, NOT RB.

About facilities: LSU’s mascot has better facilities than UGA. If you suffer the misapprehension that UGA is LSU’s equal in this regard, it means you have never seen LSU’s. It is second to none and ever improving.

As for last year’s National Championship, UGA did not earn a ticket to Atlanta and did not defeat 5 Final AP top 15 teams. No one else did either. So make all the claims you want, they are foolish. The process UGA agreed to crowned LSU National Champions when the Tigers defeated tOSU in the NC game. If you do not want to abide by your word, do not give it. But do not cheapen The Championship with irrelevant coulda woulda shouldas that are groundless delusions.

Guys! Guys! Guys! Chill!!!! Between LSU & UGA, the SEC will keep most of the great football players in the USA. LSU does have two (02) crystal balls in their trophy case. As an LSU fan, however, my crystal ball indicates that UGA might get one in theirs pretty soon. Save the machismo for game time - and Ohio State. UGA just might get to follow in the footsteps of UF & LSU. I would think they’d be glad for the chance - and it WILL take a bit of CHANCE even for them to get to do so.

All those beatings UGA has taken from the Gators have left the Bulldog Nation with the severest inferiority complex in the SEC. This year’s win over Florida did little more than make the general public aware of this problem. If Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, South Carolina, and Tennessee fans would lighten up a bit, perhaps the Bulldog Nation could begin to recover and re-enter reality and even decide for themselves what to wear to games next year.

That would make it fair. Right ? I mean after all we’re talking about UGA-heaven on earth, the school that has no other sports, CMR, hedges, etc.

The rest of you clowns are too busy being BCS victims to learn the important lessons LSU can teach you about becoming National Champions. Mainly, you don’t cry your way there.

LSU 7171, Great points and I agree with what you say. But you had to give a dig so now I’m going to give a dig back. So many poster on here are going on about UGA whinning. Now, that is ironic coming from a school whose coach had to plead the “We only lost two times and they were both in triple overtime” line to ESPN long enough to where they bought into it and began influencing voters with this logic. Les Miles whinned to get his team into the game. I’m not saying that it was wrong of him to do that. Probably was the right thing to do. Butfor LSU =fans to come on here and claim that we are whinning when we truly beleive that at the end of the season we were the hottest team is a little arrogant. You got the hardware and we hada weak first half to the season. But you all have to admit, you got very lucky to draw Tennessee than UGA. Given one break with a Tennessee late season loss to Vandy or Kentucky and we know that we would have earned that shot at you guys and with a victory at Ohio State for the title. It’s just common sense. We hate that our poor early season effort blew it for us. but that is the way it goes. Now, good luck to this young man regardless of where he plays. One thing for sure, he is a product of Georgia and there is nothing more to be proud of.

This is Les Miles. I am the head football coach at LSU. I have been reading the Constipation-Urinal’s UGA coverage and these threads for some time now, and based on the size your egos and imaginations, have come to the realization that any attempt to win a football game against your squad is futile, due to their imagined invincibility. We are going to forfeit our Oct 25 game against you. I am appealing to the other SEC coaches to do the wise thing and forfeit their games against UGA as well. Should we happen to win our division again, we will, of course, forfeit the SEC Championship as well. I sincerely hope that this will stop all of the hand-wringing and whining that goes on among the UGA fan base. Maybe Marie will begin to understand that just because her team didn’t win their division, much less their conference, there is some conspiracy theory in a parallel universe where a player can “lobby” their coach to “get to NC” and it would have some effect. Perhaps in her world, Mike Adams’ pathetic, pitiful, pandering call for a playoff after last season doesn’t appear as if it’s sour grapes from a long time playoff opponent. Perhaps if the “Dawg Nation” is given the NC trophy that they feel that they deserve, despite being on the wrong end of one of S Carolina’s three SEC victories, they will finally get some cheese to go with their whine. If all of UGA’s fantasies and fairy tales don’t materialize, however, you can at least make lemonade from your lemons by gathering around Lake Lanier and refilling it with your tears. Have a GREAT day.

UGA fans may be the most pathetic in the country. Lose 1 in state prospect and then bash the already academically qualified guy, saying he couldn’t get into UGA or UGA didn’t want him, despit the offer to him.

Whats even more pathetic is thw nonstop whining from a bunch about what could’ve been. Listen, beat UT and you have your shot to try to prove you are better than LSU. You didn’t. LSU played UT in SECCG, they were better than you guys and thus a tougher opponent in that game. They had same SEC record and destroyed UGA head to head. Yet UGA fan whines that they were “hot” at the end of the season. When UGA beats 5 teams ranked in the final AP top 15 (as LSU did), then compare yourself to LSU last year. You didn’t and thus, aren’t NATIONAL CHAMPIONS like LSU.

Now go and actuall built an indoor practice facility before you can say your facilities are as good as LSU. LSU has had one since 1994. Hell the University of Louisiana-Lafayette ragin cajuns have one now. PATHETIC UGA.

Being the hottest team in the beginning, middle, or even on the END of a season does NOT make you the best and most deserving team! Period! If thats the case, say the Atlanta Hawks rip off 6-7 wins to close the season, does that mean they are better than the Boston Celtics and should go to the playoffs???It encompasses about the season as a whole and performance in big games. LSU had more going for them (as a whole) throughout the season, rather than UGA (who played outstanding football after finally waking up after their midseason nap). This is suppose to be about a kid going to a school of his choice. No one is forcing him to go to LSU. I’m more impressed that he is 17, will be graduating high school early and attending a great university (regardless of its locale). We need more kids like that, because he seems bright!

Just a little good natured ribbing there, reservoir. All BS aside, given the talent UGA’s got there’s no reason they shouldn’t start the season #1. Caution: It’s easier to start there than stay there. UGA has a history of underperforming with talent-laden teams. If I was CMR, I wouldn’t worry too much about Calhoun. I don’t remember it being newsworthy when Moreno declared intention to go to UGA, and look how he turned out.

I don’t care much for CMR encouraging the thug routine, though. The SEC, and LSU in particular, have gotten a bad rap for that sort of thing, and I don’t think it’s deserved for the most part. I hate to see an SEC coach endorse it to his players.

Why do grown-ups spend so much time bashing a kid that wants to do something different and experience new things? This is a young man who from all that I’ve heard is a VERY positive and mild mannered person. He wanted to play his college football elsewhere and that’s just fine.

Yes, he grew up in the Tucker Football League (UGA dominated). Yes, he plays at Tucker High (UGA dominated), but now he decides to go to a school other that UGA — you claim not to have wanted/needed him… go figured. Well, most of you probably never played the game anyway therefore you choose to hide behind a keyboard and monitor! Just a little inside tip, a Tucker coach told me that UGA has indicated they plan to stay after Calhoun and try to get him to change his commitment. So maybe the ones that are getting paid to coach and render evaluations see something more than what you UGA computer geeks see!!

By way the, good luck in getting a couple of your current ‘09 commitments (who shall remain nameless) qualified!

ABSOLUTELY! Bottom line, this kid had options and he picked what was best in his opinion not others. Anytime you don’t pick the hometown school it becomes unpopular but I commend him for stepping outside of the box. I just hope this doesn’t start a firestrom because LSU IS making headway into the metro ATL area with their recruiting. Everybody can’t/doesn’t want to go to Georgia. Drayton is a GREAT kid and we will not stop supporting one of our own even when LSU play UGA — we just don’t want you to beat us!! Good luck and best wishes… TURN YOUR HATERS INTO MOTIVATORS!

BamaTide, you might wanna do your research before you post such a stupid comment. This kid has a 3.2 gpa with a 1080 on the SAT (math & verbal). Not to mention this young man is on track to graduate in Dec.

UGA fans running smack over facilities is hilarious…

You guys are just now TALKING about BUILDING an indorr facility…

LSU had one back during the dark days of Gerry DiNardon’t…Yet you’re going to say that we have terrible facilities?

We just built the nation’s largest football operations facility, connected it to our indoor Field Turf covered practice facility, and included the nation’s most complete and advanced weight training and medical staff training facility under the same roof…

We also completed the nation’s largest Academic Center for Student Athletes during the Saban Era…

You fools are TALKING about PLANS to BUILD facilities we had when we were taking it up the tailpipe from the Gerry Dinardon’t Era…Yeah…I can tell you Dawg fans are SERIOUSLY on your games, today, huh?

All of you nincumpoops living a redneck Riviera vision of the Aesop Fable about sour grapes for this kid, and (ir)rationalizing it by saying you had a stacked backfield should get a clue…

Calhoun was not going to make his bones at the next level (nor get a shot at the one after) at that position…He’s going to be a lockdown cover corner…A faster version of Chevis Jackson for us…

See, we’ve got sort’ve a stacked backfield, too…Keiland Williams & Charles Scott, along with an offensive line that returns 4 of 5 starters, and its entire left and interior members, will show you JUST what the definition of a running game is…

Our defensive line will turn Mr. Moreno into Mr. Knowshow…

Oh, and congrats on Stafford…Kid’s got a cannon…Better pray you can find something other than Massachappaquidick and some 18 year olds to throw to him, or teams are going to stuff your run game like Enis ramming fenceposts on Brokeback Mountain…

In closing, and while we’re on that subject, congrats on pounding all those “Rainbow Warriors” in your big BCS game…Real impressive, jawja fan…

For crying out loud, we’re tal;king about a teenager here. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SICKENING, JUVENILE COMMENTS I’VE EVER READ! THIS SHT IS DISGUSTING! A young man has the opportunity to play football and earn an education at a fine school, and all these UNEDUCATED PRCKS are talking bad about him. GET A FRICKIN’ LIFE FOLKS! AJC NEEDS TO DELETE ANY BLOGS THAT INSULT THE DECISION OF A 17 YEAR OLD! Show some responsibility, AJC, and delete irresponsible BS from some of your STUPID UGA-worshipping readers! Show some class, UGA fans, rather than showing your A**!!

It is pathetic that UGA fans actually believe they should have been in the BCS Championship Game over LSU. First, it is a fact that LSU won the SEC West and The SEC title.

UGA won neither the SECEast nor the SEC Championship.

Second, it is a fact that LSU beat BOTH teams which beat UGA.

Third, it is a fact that LSU had a better record at 11-2 vs. UGA at 10-2.

Fourth, it is a fact that even if LSU hadn’t played in the BCS Championship Game, the ACC Champion would have as they finished at #3 behind LSU. I suppose winning the ACC Championship shouldn’t have mattered either. Who was this #3 team? Oh yes, it was Virginia Tech. That’s correct, the same Va. Tech team LSU destroyed by 41 points.

All this BS about UGA being a “hot” team is just that BS. Look at who UGA played in that 6 game “streak” and look at the scores. There was a 3 point win over Vandy and a 10 point win over TRoy. throw in a layup bowl win against Hawaii and personally I am not impressed. C-Ya.

All I got to say to the Georgia fans, indoor practice fields = SEC Division titles. This is a fact since yall didn’t win your DIVISION let alone your damn conference.

I am appalled at the comments written about Drayton. How dare you assume that just because he chose LSU, he might develop a “criminal career”! He is a very smart, goal-oriented and moral young man who made an educated decision. And before you ask, yes, I know his family and know this to be true.

I am a HUGE college football fan and support a team outside the SEC (which makes me rather unbiased compared to most of the posters here). Yes, I wish he would have chosen my school. However, I whole-heartedly believe he made a choice that would best suit him. He’s a 17-year-old who has shown more class than the ignorant people who’ve bashed him.

Please try to remember in the future that you are writing about a 17-year-old and show him the courtesy and respect that he has already earned.

Go Drayton!!!
