MOST times rivalries are based on locations. Where I grew up it was a lot of UGA fans. I also know the Gamecock Club is Atlanta is one of if not the top chapter.

Plus the times we've played UGA out dates those others.

Everywhere...You never there.
Man, NC State is a mess. They just promoted Dantonio Burnette to head S&C so things may change. See thats one of the things when comparing SEC teams to other conferences, the S&C is top notch.

Also, look at Clemsuc they brought in Adam Smotherman to help Joey Batson change the Strength and Conditioning program. Batson had Clemsuc players looking all bulky maybe even worse than SC the last 3 years. Watson had Clemsux players looking like this

. They changed that and they been one of the top ACC schools since.

:ehh:

Texas A&M filled a huge need Monday with the addition of Under Armour All-American quarterback Kellen Mond. Mond could see the field early.

What he brings: Mond has ideal measurables, is a dynamic runner and is tough to deal with once he breaks contain. He is a big, long-striding athlete with wheels to create plays and deceptively good arm strength to make late and off-balance throws when on the move. He's most accurate when dialed in on his first target or throwing on the move. Mond's a very accurate improviser. The ball jumps out of his hand -- he throws with authority. He can be a bit tense in his methods, looks like Deshaun Watson but not as smooth. He really gets a lot out of his arm on deep and intermediate throws. He displays nice RPMs, and the ball comes out quickly on underneath routes.

How he fits: How about a huge need being filled? After the departure of two starting quarterbacks before national signing day for the 2016 class, this was an absolute necessity. Trevor Knight is a Band-aid for the Aggies for the 2016 season, and then it is a wide open race for Mond to make his mark and be in the running to be the guy immediately.

Reminds us of: Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech -- Accuracy on the move comes to mind with these two. They both have the ability to create on the move. They don't always run when things break down, but they have the ability to keep their eyes downfield and throw on the run, or make off-balance throws back across the field.

How the class is shaping up: The Aggies continue to reel in talent since the move to the SEC. ESPN 300 running back Travis Etienne and four-star athleteKeldrick Carper were huge wins over conference competition. Jim Turner is back coaching the offensive line, and his hire has netted ESPN 300 Grayson Reed, Oklahoma State flip Adrian Wolford and upside tackle Carson Green. Defensive back is a position of need in 2017, and the Aggies have already reeled in ESPN 300 safety Derrick Tucker, upside safety Myles Jones, safety Debione Renfro and the versatile Devin Morris, who could also play receiver. Connor Blumrick is the other quarterback in the class.

not surprising, uga has a lot more history with florida, auburn, tennessee, and ga tech is an instate rival. the important thing is since 2000 only florida has more wins vs uga than sc so i wouldnt say theres no reason for sc to be higher in the minds of a uga fan than 5th.
