This thread is... bizarre.
Acuna can use the excuse of not speaking the language and coming from a different culture as a reason for his laziness or being overly dramatic when he has an injury. Gibbs is from Rome, they are pretty much like us.I am delighted Gibbs committed to us and played two years. He showed why he is so highly regarded. He is an incredible back in space. I understand why he wanted to see what he could do at Bama, although as a Tech grad and son of an Auburn man, I only cheer for them to beat the Dawgs.
I did find his lack of effort at times to have been frustrating. He did not seem inclined to do the hard things, the little things right, while a Jacket. That is on him, his head coach, and position coach. Saban is good for him, for he demands effort and does not treat any of his five stars as prima donnas; he has enough he does not have to.
I see Gibbs much the same way I view Acuna. Incredible talents who can do extraordinary things on the playing field, but sometimes unwilling to give 100% at all times. That has a tendency to catch up with you and limit the greatness of your career. I hope Gibbs learns a lot at Bama and is able to maximze his success as a collegiate and then as a pro.
Dalton. Griffin was Rome.Acuna can use the excuse of not speaking the language and coming from a different culture as a reason for his laziness or being overly dramatic when he has an injury. Gibbs is from Rome, they are pretty much like us.
Thanks I get those two northwest Georgia metropolis mixed up.Dalton. Griffin was Rome.
Pics?This thread should be made into a 1980's style movie where we are the plain, nerdy girl who gets heartbroken when the gorgeous, big boobed blonde, finally hooks up with the captain of the football team - who went from zero to hero by scoring FOUR touchdowns against Andrew Johnson High School in the city championship game.
In the epilogue of this movie, ten years later the plain, nerdy girl is called to jury duty. The case that is brought up is the big boobed, blonde girl on trial for prostitution. The blonde pleads that she was trying to raise money to pay for her high school sweetheart husband’s surgery. It seems he needs a liver transplant from living a wanton life. He has no money of his own as his life has gone from zero to hero to less than zero.This thread should be made into a 1980's style movie where we are the plain, nerdy girl who gets heartbroken when the gorgeous, big boobed blonde, finally hooks up with the captain of the football team - who went from zero to hero by scoring FOUR touchdowns against Andrew Johnson High School in the city championship game.
I don’t see any threads dedicated to any other of our transfers out.
Gibbs was phenomenal in the epic Bama vs Tenn game. He was the best player on the field considering two teams loaded with future NFL all pros. Oh what could have been. öööö you collins. öööö you.
This 100%. If our coach could have had us playing half-ass competitive football and winning at least half, Gibbs would still be here. Nobody wants to lose and I understand when people say it's a cop-out to just up and leave a losing program but if it's all due to coaching as it seems to have been the case, then it's much more understandable IMO.Personally, Gibbs is my favorite player in college football. I'll watch every bama game this season, and hope he rips UGA for 200 yards. He came to Tech with MUCH bigger options available, he could have flipped, but he didn't out of loyalty. He stayed for a couple of years with a clown coach, and bolted when there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Tech fans who hate Gibbs for leaving just don't care about the kid or his future.
Can't wait to see him in the league.
Bama lost
Nobody cares about Gibbs. His NFL chances had *nothing * to do with where he went to school. His stats would have been much better in the ACC. Your entire argument is bullshit.

Yeah. Because NFL scouts are so poor at their jobs, they couldn't possibly spot that kind of talent unless it was competing in the sEc. Really just blind luck they found players like Lawrence Taylor, Megatron, Jerry Rice, Grady Jarret, Barry Sanders, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Montana, Howie Long, Jason Taylor.....etc etc etc. Real shame those guys never made any money.So proving yourself in the toughest conference in CFB, at the greatest program in CFB, in the biggest games in CFB, means nothing? Got it. The delusion is real.
Lol count up the number of bama first rounders in the past 3 years, then count up the number of first rounders in GT HISTORY. I'll wait.Yeah.
