Win over TN but are you happy?

But Buc, I won't use "haters" directed towards anyone. I do not want to intentionally disresepct anyone here.

Go Dawgs

One thing for sure on this board. While there are some splits on the how-to-do things, it is not a board separated. I see a lot of give and take from some very good posters and that is hard to find "out there".

What a boring place this would be if all of us ate vanilla ice cream and drank the same kool-aid. Gets too bad, Steve will ring in.

Sadler, I was not offended by being called a Sunshine pumper. I actually laughed a little the first time it was brought up. My posting of "hater" was not meant to stir up any trouble. I used it because it seems some people want to focus on the negatives and ignore the positives, or really what happened in that game. Our coaches have deserved enough bashing, that I think that is all we are remembering how to do. We beat the vols in knoxville. We didn't squeak out with a win. We were pretty dominant, and it could have been a lot worse. I mean if we complete just 2 of those passes, and the dang penalties. There is some sort of holding on every play. Go back and watch the hold they called on AW. Really??? That deserved a flag?

GO DAWGS. Vandy will be every bit as tough, better not be thinking about the last Sat in October, or we might be in for a long day.

I like vanilla, Buc.

I don't care at all if people wanted to call me a hater because of my feelings about our
coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

I just hope anyone who wants to call me a hater can explain to me exactly where the lack of
just cause comes into play. I stand by every thing I've said as being a fair analysis of
the situation.

While my feelings towards some of the coaches have not changed one bit, today I am not
talking about them at all. Today I'm calling out some players. I'm calling out King
for failing to put forth effort on every single play. He made some catches, but he also
ran a sloppy route near the goal line, and he also put zero effort towards a block that
would have sprung IC for a big gain even if it was going to get called back because of
a hold.

I'm also going to call out just about the entire offensive line for their quite offensive
laziness and lack of effort. They are weak, have zero explosion off the ball as noted by
wlayton, and for whatever reason they don't finish blocks. As also noted by wlayton, they
look like they think just getting in the way is actually a block. Multiple times did I
see in striking HD clarity the fact that they disengaged from blocks early allowing their
man to get in on the end of plays, and absolutely no ability or effort made to get to
the second level.

I bet Vandy and Kentucky have better O-lines than we do. With all that weight, ours could
at least occasionally fall on top of someone, but I think they don't because they don't
have the strength to pick themselves back up off the ground. Pitiful.

I think we'll take Vandy, but it's a classic trap game we better not take too lightly.

Coming off this big road win at night... feeling too good about ourselves.. playing a
weaker opponent we should be able to handle.. all that scares me to death. It's a classic
let down week, and we're not good enough on offense to take ANYONE lightly.

Who is saying that?????/ Not me.

Are you saying I'm drinking koolaid??

Show me where I am.

We didn't score only 20 b/c of bad play calling.

not saying you did....if you thought I was refering to you then I apologize....just some general statements on this board on how well we are playing and winning......when we are winning because of D and we get lucky and complete a long ball to MM....just tired of this offense playing not to lose.....

I was pretty sure you weren't offended, AD5...just didn't want people taking it the wrong way. And yes, alot of the questions after a win can be deemed as bashing, or negative, or hating. I get a bit carried away myself. BUT, alot of folks on here are happy with the wins, but want more improvement, because that's what it will take to beat the better teams on our schedule. Yes, I'm ecstatic Richt went for it 3 times on 4th down (one of em I probably wouldn't even have gone for!!), but then that obviously begs the question, why now, and none of the other times? Same thing with Bozo mixing the plays up a bit? I mean, several good points, but still several shortcomings. I guess my point in all of this is--if we never brought it up in the public forums, would it have ever been addressed? Maybe, but I'd like to think that some of these forums get noticed by different people. So I will continue to congratulate the good, but point out the not so good.
