Grantham Coaching Experience

I've said it before, Buc . . . I almost never disagree with you. We have the talent - we always do. Lots of "big nasty's", speed, raw talent . . . time to coach 'em up. You said it, Buc!

And sadlerdawg is right . . . Mark May is a bed-wetter who got his panties in a wad because we rightfully claimed a NC in '80. Too bad for him. I love to be hated by Mark May.

OoltewahDawg, everytime I think about ESPN (Disney owned)I shudder. I know that a lot of folks come down this way and really enjoy the Disney experience. That is a good thing.

Disney is ruthless when it comes to TV sports control. Disney also is all about power, and that have a lot of that. Folks working there will on some occasions let folks in on just how ruthless they can be.

I am afraid there will come a point, and that might not be too far off when Disney will decide who plays in the MNC game. NCAA does not seem to have a lot of control any more, or should I say, their power is slipping. Nike and others have tested the waters, laying the groundwork for Mickey and Minnie to take control. Know that it sounds foolish, but look at the partnership that has happened in pro football. NFL and Disney, great buddies.

Here is a sampling taken from 2009.

2009 revenues: $36.1 billion
The Walt Disney Company owns the ABC Television Network, cable networks including ESPN, the Disney Channel, SOAPnet, A&E and Lifetime, 277 radio stations, music and book publishing companies, production companies Touchstone, Miramax and Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Animation Studios, the cellular service Disney Mobile, and theme parks around the world.

Bothers me that the American Football Game is in the hands of those, that only see the revenue, and a lot is never enough to some.

Edit: Good post OoltewahDawg.

thriller, that driveling, slobbering person sitting beside Mark May is just as bad when it comes to UGA football. I sure hope we jump all over South Carolina's butt in Columbia. When we play them next season, will have duck on my mind. Coach Grantham has got to be fuming, know that he wants to shut SS up.

Mark May hates UGA because he played for Pitt in '80 and somehow thinks they got hosed out of the NC even though we were undefeated and Pitt got bombed by FSU (I think it was FSU, I know they lost once.)

Kinda makes sense. That was back when bowl tie-ins actually meant something, so There was no way they could match us up with Pitt without a bunch of lawsuits hitting 'em. Don't know why he would think Pitt would have beaten UGA that year though, because nobody had yet figured out how to effectively stop Herschel. He was probably thinking back to the '77 Sugar Bowl when Dorset ran all over us. Maybe he never saw the tape of HW running over Bill Bates. What a loser!

Just finished reading the following article.

What Coach Grantham says and does not say explains one of the reasons I really like this coach. Grantham I swear is the reincarnation of Erk. Might even be a bit more forceful in certain areas of his motivation.

Think it was AllDawgs5 that said to me that he attended a game and was in ear shot of Williams and Coach Grantham. If that is the case, maybe AD5 will share with the rest of the board. Or not.

Another little piece of tape that makes me feel really good about this football team. Notice #1 joining in, and has a smile on his face. IC, step up and be a part. Talent is there, get the head straight.
