A school like this could soak up a bunch of the overlooked local white players that the SEC turns its nose up at. Instead, they are happy to play second fiddle using the exact same business model. Chad Lunsford embodies the term "caste clown."

The Eagle's Elbow
Under Coach Chad Lunsford's tenure, he celebrates every important victory by brandishing a steel chair adorned with the fallen opponent's logo, slamming the chair on the locker room floor, then performs an elbow drop on the chair. The tradition was started following Lunsford's first win, a 52–point shutout of South Alabama, after the team had gone winless in the first 9 games of the 2017 season.

That said, they are a pretty competitive Sun Belt team. I wonder how much the new NCAA transfer rules will facilitate Lunsford's top players "upgrading" to bigger programs. He could probably use a few eternal overachievers to play it safe.

Interesting tidbit, Georgia Southern has put three kickers into the NFL: Tyler Bass (2020), Younghoe Koo (2017), and Rob Bironas (2001)

My cousin had Rob Bironas on his fantasy team in 2008 and watched him boot 4 big FG's + 5 extra points against the hapless Lions on Thanksgiving. He kept humming the song "My Sharona" as he scored about a hundred points. Good family memory! I had no idea where rah-rah-rah-Rahhhhb Bironas went to school until I found it yesterday - must be something in the water down there.

Affletes get to stay on scholarship despite committing domestic abuse, using/selling drugs, academic fraud etc. They remain starters on much bigger programs than this one. Meanwhile this one White kid wanting to have a good time by chugging a beer is kicked off the team.

Georgia Southern redshirt senior DT Gavin Adcock was removed from the team Sunday afternoon.

Adcock (5'11/275) gained notoriety prior to the September 27th game against Louisiana. He was caught on video standing atop the team bus and chugged what appeared to be a beer that was thrown to him by a fan. He was suspended immediately and, even though he played yesterday in a 27-24 loss to Troy, Adcock was removed from the team on Sunday.
