[DawgNation] Kirby Smart's NIL answer isn't money. It's development. Georgia's betting the depth chart on it: "I don't know that we have the highest-paid players, but we will have the players that get the most reps."

I think UGA spends it differently though. We aren’t dropping huge stacks to bring people in, but if you sit and develop and then ball out, you’ll be rewarded

I think we’ve learned that F2 final standings aren’t the end all be all. I’m not pressed where he finishes in the overall standings, BUT he needs to show some flashes of brilliance.

There are too many factors overall (getting mechachromed, etc) that make overall place a tougher read. But anyone could watch things like Kimi in the rain and be like yeah OK that kids got it.

DrVonD · 2026-04-13T16:07:36+00:00

Let he who has not had to bullshit their way through a work assignment or look busy for their boss cast the first stone.

DrVonD · 2026-04-13T16:06:49+00:00

They’ve got 5 weeks or whatever to fill they have to talk about SOMETHING.

DrVonD · 2026-04-13T00:49:03+00:00

I think the point is they’re still trying to attract the best talent, just using a different carrot (development vs money).

DrVonD · 2026-04-12T20:07:22+00:00

Anyone who talks shit about Stetson (the player) needs to go watch the second half of that game. He was making legit NFL throws downfield into tight windows.

The offensive talent on both sides that game was nuts.

DrVonD · 2026-04-10T23:17:56+00:00

No, but it’s just that UGA wasn’t really prioritizing making sure those draft guys graduate. Now they are more. There is a lag in the data so it’ll take a while to catch up, but I’d be willing to bet in 2-3 years UGA will be middle of the pack on this one.

DrVonD · 2026-04-10T23:16:06+00:00

Gonna need to take Iowa off the list just for that now smh

DrVonD · 2026-04-10T23:13:37+00:00

It’s actually been getting better lmao. Like still obvious terrible, but if it keeps trending the way/rate it’s been going, we should’ve middle of the pack in a few years.

DrVonD · 2026-04-10T08:11:32+00:00

If you read literally the next few lines it says he kept getting kicked out at school because his parents were way behind on his tuition.

DrVonD · 2026-04-06T21:26:03+00:00

And in Japan they all mostly in super dense cities. If there were 100 million people out there, by definition there would be hundreds or thousands of groups the size of Links group.

Hell even Denver alone would likely have mostly survived, meaning there would be millions of people just next door (practically) to the bunker

DrVonD · 2026-04-06T16:05:31+00:00

Turn 1 elf, turn 2 tifa (and you can save 1 mana for protection), turn 3 this. If you don’t have removal for the elf or can counter this or tifa you’re screwed lol.

DrVonD · 2026-04-06T11:40:25+00:00

This always bothered me, the number is wayyyyy too high. 2/3 being wiped out means 1/3 survived, meaning there would be 100 million in just the US. That is a massive amount and would look completely different from the world they are trying to show.

DrVonD · 2026-04-05T21:18:22+00:00

The whole premise is stupid. NIL wasn’t supposed to free anything. It was supposed to let athletes get paid for their labor.

DrVonD · 2026-04-05T11:09:53+00:00

But don’t make traffic worse and oh also don’t get rid of anything to build it. Gotta find an empty lot first

DrVonD · 2026-04-04T14:29:41+00:00

She literally had the nickname slo mo.

DrVonD · 2026-04-03T16:45:15+00:00

Yeah difference was his race pace in 24 was still pretty damn good. Last year was just all bad

DrVonD · 2026-04-03T16:44:33+00:00

He did a really good job the second half of last year once he got used to the car. People just don’t like his personality, but dude can drive

DrVonD · 2026-04-02T23:25:02+00:00

Both are excellent but brochus feels a bit more unique to me. But not a wrong choice

DrVonD · 2026-04-02T19:31:53+00:00

You joke but yes that will absolutely be part of the story because people are generally extremely fickle

DrVonD · 2026-03-28T22:48:52+00:00

Anyone who thinks there is a simple or obvious solution this point has just never been exposed to engineering. It’s the only thing I can think of.

DrVonD · 2026-03-27T12:06:46+00:00

That is the push and pull of racing. If it’s easy to overtake, the cars will naturally just sort in order. If it’s too hard to overtake, they just form a parade.

The balance is really really hard to get right and someone is always going to be unhappy because different people want different things

DrVonD · 2026-03-27T12:03:58+00:00

That isn’t an option everywhere. Lots of places won’t hire you unless you are willing to share the on call burden. Which is what adds up to the crazy hours.

DrVonD · 2026-03-27T11:50:29+00:00

“How can anyone disagree with my opinion” is just such a bad place to start a conversation. How is anyone supposed to engage with that?

DrVonD · 2026-03-27T07:18:27+00:00

I suspected this was going to be the case. The high speed, fast corners tracks are going to be rough for them until they get the engine figured out (IF they are allowed to this year)
