Georgia fans are the definition of sour grapes as Texas continues to poach recruits

Yesterday was one for the history books when it came to Steve Sarkisian's recruiting success. Not only did the Texas head coach land five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson out of the state of Georgia, but he also flipped five-star defensive lineman JJ Johnson, who had initially committed to the Bulldogs.

To put it simply, Sark and the Longhorns walked into Georgia and stole all of its goodies. Now, UGA Bulldog fans are looking for any and every explanation as to how their head coach, Kirby Smart, missed out on these top recruits.

Many Georgia fans even fell for a fake "ESPN report" which claimed that Atkinson only committed to Texas because he believed he wouldn't get enough playing time with the Bulldogs. At the end of the day, it's entirely false, "Jenna Talia" doesn't work for ESPN.

To dig their hole even deeper, Smart felt the need to comment on the recruiting moves while at SEC Media Days, right alongside Sarkisian, who chose not to comment directly on prospects' choices from that day or any other.

Yes, the Horns have one of the most notable NIL collectives in the country, and it doesn't hurt to have Lamborghinis parked around the stadium when recruits visit campus. However, Georgia could easily land the very same prospects without spending as much money; they've done it before and, according to Smart, will continue to do so.

Not to mention, there are dozens of other teams, like the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks, who are willing to shell out millions of dollars to land top prospects, and those players are still choosing the Longhorns.

Bulldog fans need to have a serious reality check and realize that, just maybe, their team isn't the top "dawg" anymore when it comes to recruiting in the SEC.

Sarkisian is doing something powerful in Austin, and as of right now, he is trending towards yet another No. 1 recruiting class in the country.
