Joel Klatts burner

Meant to be more about cfb media and SEC in general but if that's your takeaway then sure.

Incoming rant. Experiencing firsthand the misinformation machine that is the media surrounding the SEC is pretty eye opening. The disconnect between what the announcers are yapping about, what the media is putting out all week, and what is happening week to week on the field is alarming. How many times during the Florida Georgia game yesterday did we hear something along the lines of “Georgia needs to recapture the form they had in Austin” or “they’re not playing as well as they were before the bye week”? And if you were to just look at the score you might not think twice about those types of comments but watch the game and anyone with eyes can see that Georgia is playing exactly how they have played all season and it’s November so it’s not like a trend can’t be established here. The offense was terrible even before Etienne went out, and prior to the last few minutes of the 4th , it was nonexistent without him. Carson Beck hasn’t done a single thing this season to suggest that he won’t continue to turn the ball over in terrible fashion in critical spots every week. He’s also so ugly that it hurts, and I am counting down the seconds until I can watch #11 drop his nuts on Beck’s face. The only difference between the Florida game and Texas game for Georgia was that Florida wasn’t gift wrapping the ball and consistently giving the Georgia offense extremely short fields like Texas did in the first half 2 weeks ago. Go back even further and watch the first half of the Alabama Georgia game or the Georgia Kentucky game, it’s the same thing: a below average offense led by a below average quarterback getting consistently bailed out by an awesome defense against inferior opponents. So, Texas beats OU 34-3, but now the narrative somehow is Quinn Ewers sucked and held us back and OU wasn’t a good team anyway so that win shouldn’t count for anything? Even if Quinn admittedly had a below average game for his standard, why don’t Georgia and Beck get the same treatment? We beat a good Vandy team on the road last week and Quinn looked hugely improved from the last two games, yet the narrative is we barely squeaked it out in a one score game against a bad team? Kirk was praising Beck for battling through adversity after throwing his THIRD PICK AGAINST A 4-3 FLORIDA TEAM AT A NUETRAL SITE. So now I guess we’re praising guys for being anything but absolute ass and complete liabilities to their team. The fact that Georgia was even still in the game at the point when Beck threw his 3rd pick is 100% a testament to their defense, despite their shit offense. How many other QBs are getting praised for coming back after their 3rd pick and just turning around to hand the ball of and toss a couple bubble screens to grind out a win against A 4-3 TEAM AFTER COMING OFF A BYE WEEK FOLLOWING BEATING THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY ON THE ROAD? And it’s not like Florida has some unreal defense. They were out half their secondary and Beck was still throwing picks all over the field. His second one was to a DE that had dropped into coverage. He sucks. The refusal of the media and many fans to watch the games and draw their own conclusions is unbelievable. There is an epidemic of non-ball knowing going around right now and it’s wild to watch unfold. We’ve already seen this cycle of early hype despite some glaring issues and eventually disaster play out for a few other “top dawgs” in the SEC like Mizzou, Ole Miss, and most recently the Aggies so watching it happen again and again every week is wild when it’s pretty clear from actually watching the games what is going on with these teams and how legit they are.
