I gave MR passes up until after the 2005 season. Prior to that he was a new HC who had came in and elevated the program from where it had been late 80's and 90's, and brought us back as SEC CHAMPS and national relevance. I accepted 2005 and back as that was a time of ascension for the program.

Since then however we plateaued and regressed....

So yeah... I use 2005 as the date from which MR began to disappoint and under-perform. I know we blew chances to do even more in 2005 and prior, but still the program was striding upward.

God Bless and Go Dawgs

Oh and just to be clear....

I was AT the Sugar Bowl in 1982, so yeah I watched it. I was however only speaking towards the Mark Richt era.

When MR came in he was following several years of HC rotation. Between Dooley and Richt I always had a feeling we were not hitting on all cylinders. After the MR break in period things got better, SEC 2005. Things not quite right since then.

My nose says things are different this year. Team talent and coaching changes seem to work.

No Kool Aid. Just observations.

For winning the Natty give every Dawg a bone AND prime rib steak.

Yes, I was there. I was there for some painful memories in 82 and 83.

In 82 I saw the entire play develop. We blitzed inside and left a safety up against
their big TE/WR John Brown.

He inexplicably ran right by Steve Kelly #23 I think it was. It was sickening to watch
because about 2 seconds after the snap I said "OH $h|+!!".

To this day I can't figure out how we let that happen. The one thing we couldn't do was let one their guys get behind us. There was only 35 seconds left in the game and if
Pitt had any interest in tying the game they would have kicked the FG right then instead of risking the 4th down play. I knew when they went for it they were going for the home-run with spread formation and all vertical routes... before the play even started I said "just don't let them get behind you".

We did, and it kept us from another NC
