From Athens - "Fubar"

Good Morning All,

With Lou Holtz heaping praise on CMR it is time to start the bus and put out the “For Sale Sign”!

It is going to take every day until September to get the taste of the 2010 season and Memphis out of my system.

What disturbs me more than the losses is what we have come to accept both as players and coaches. We have learned to endure defeat as being acceptable.

If our military after Pearl Harbor took the same approach as our football team we would all be speaking Japanese rather than just driving cars that they build. Self included.

It is pass the time for words for the next nine month’s players and coaches say nothing, the next time anything is heard from a Georgia player or coach is after our first game in Atlanta and then only if we beat the snot out of Boise State. Until then it is just more babble aka coach speak.

I saw a bumper sticker this past weekend –

“Real Change Happens” 01-20-13.

It started me thinking that we can beat that date by a year with the change we need.

I am ready to rename our coaching staff “Peter Pan” and the Sunshine Pumpers.

Our play or better still lack off in the Liberty Bowl was about as inspiring as a bowl of cold oatmeal. We tried to mail this game in and got nailed. Hello coaching staff!! CMR needs to contact Capt. Sully the one who landed the US Air Airbus in the river without a loss of life to come to Athens and work on performing a miracle with our football team.

OK! My rant is over for this week however, the oil is still boiling.

Have a safe weekend and a good week. As always “Go Dawgs”!

yankeedawg, there comes a time when the talk stops and the fur flies. Pretty clear that most on this board and more than is being truthfully reported in the mullet wrappers are tired of the aw shucks brand of marketing.

Glad that you are riled, I expect to be right there with you through this changing of the guard.

A trio of Georgia coaches travelled north to visit with nose tackle John Jenkins Thursday night. A clip from dawgpost. Hoping for success, going to be a tough pill to swallow if CTG does not get this player.

Thanks for the continuing good work yankeedawg. Have a great weekend.

Looking around for something that we can sink our teeth into on this Friday yankeedawg.

Thanks for sharing Buc, passion and fire will return to Athens...sooner than some think.
The under tow current on campus is very real. Much more than is coming out in the press.

Players understand that the time to pay the piper has come. Just a gut feeling that by the time spring ball comes around the leadership by the players will be at a different level.

Certainly hope that you are right on the leadership comment. Seems as if we have heard that for the past few years, time for results. What little I know about player leadership, think that Jones coming in and sitting a year, grasping what is needed, believe he will or can be a huge force for good.

Yankeedawg1 and Buc, Lot of truth behind what both of you guys are saying. Great post.

I like the leadership road we are going down. I guess I mean as far as the thread goes. I haven't seen much leadership from anyone on the sidelines, both coaches and players. Will give AM credit, he does lead on the field.

You know, I played not too awfully long ago, and it just seems accountability was a lot higher then. At a time, when players didn't worry about a coach jumping down their throat, they were more hurt by the fact that they let the other 10 guys out there on the field with down. That was enough punishment. And if you did it more than once, you had a meeting with those guys when coaches weren't around, and you figured out quickly that wouldn't be accepted anymore. Most of the time though, it never had to come to that. I think everyone on this board played some ball. I also think we all had that attitude. We weren't going to let the guys lined up right beside us down. We owed it to them. We didn't owe giving them 110%. We owed them doing whatever the hell it took to get the job done. End of story. Even if it meant grabbing a RB by the collar, and letting him know "We aren't up here busting our asses to get you a hole, ONLY TO WATCH YOU PUT IT ON THE GROUND INSIDE THE 10"

Guys were held accountable from within. Could be wrong, but I dont see it on Saturdays.

GO DAWGS
