wlayton, thanks again for the kind words. I suppose that all of us have a \"style\" on this board. I can't for the life of me think of a single person on this board that has not contributed, contributed in a positive way. We can be mad as heck at the way a game is played or a coach/player has let us down, but the beauty of this is that this board gets \"over it\" and moves forward.
A good example of that is the hiring of Coach Grantham. Think I can safely say this . . . we were all/most mad and disheartened with his predecessor. This board was in limbo for a period of time anticipating the arrival of a new coordinator. There were many that wanted this coach or that coach, however in the end, in my opinion, ended up with Coach Grantham and he has caused much the same feelings in the Dawg Nation as the hiring of Coach Richt did. This hire brought me back to the realization that the hiring of Coach Richt was an outstanding hire by those in charge.
A point to be remembered . . . wlayton is the \"dude\" that called the Coach Grantham hiring. He is incredibly close to the UGA system, knows much and . . . shares it.
Coach Richt came to UGA with credentials.
Coach Grantham came to UGA with credentials.
I will not quote the above two word for word, but it goes something like this . . .
We have enough quality athletes in a five hour radius of Athens to put UGA in the running year after year to do the same thing that happened in Tuscaloosa this past season.
I am a believer.
BullDogShannon, don't ever lose your \"style\" . . . never to be doubted that you are a DAWG.
