I hear ya loud and clear Buc......being down here on the Ms. Gulf Coast I work with quite a few Tide and LSU people. They on Fridays usually wear thier most recent NC shirts.......told them I could wear mine from 1980.......that was good for some laughs for sure.........
ogredawg, we are surrounded by the enemy . . . . too many years have passed and in my mind too many concessions have been made by those in Athens.
For the last couple of years on this board there have been a few that recognize there is a problem (again) in Athens. While we have had several coaches since our last National Championship, I have noticed that there are those that are willing to accept certain standards.
Alabama went through the same process. Had several coaches come and go but the fan base was not willing to go along with the results. The fan base drove the administration to the edge, demanded that changes be made and bring football back to Tuscaloosa. Anyone that thinks that the fan base was not the reason that Saban is coaching in Tuscaloosa, you have to be on the same page with President Adams and others, 10 wins on occasion will satisfy the fan base in their minds.
Bothers me a bit when I read some of the posts on this board that want to tell many of us how lucky we are to have our present coaches and administration. I know that I am not the only one that feels that we are receptive, that allows me to think that I am not totally off base.
Another thorn in my side is the constant chatter about what a good man Mark Richt is. I know that Mark Richt is a good man, I also know that he is playing a game with the University of Georgia, and Adams is all for it. The game is simply this . . . . Mark Richt is a good front man, he is not a x's and o's man anymore. If I am wrong on that point, someone has to explain to me the decline in our football team. Anyone want to talk about the ten wins, willing to do that. Let's also discuss the four losses. Willing to do that. Why is it the defensive side of the ball has resurrected itself in two years, going into the third year, not 11 years. Can you hear me?
ogredawg, you made some very good points in another thread today, most of what I gathered was all of us need to understand football, not promote the same talk that we have read over and over, not only on this board, but others as well. I appreciate the fact that you have your sights set high.
Go Dawgs, coach'em up, or find someone than can. Alabama did.
