What I saw

My football experience and knowledge is so close to zero, I could starve on the difference. There isn't a great deal I know, and most of my time at Georgia was spent drunk in the student section as I suffered through four years of the post-Dooley/pre-Richt era historians will likely refer to as "The Second Dark Age of Mankind."
Still, you can learn a great deal from section 110, unburdened as most are with an intimate knowledge of the Xs and Os, of the intricate differences between a 3-4 and 4-3 defense. Everything...everything I know about football is based on biased observation, blind devotion and localized xenophobia that raises its head like a bad rash during the fall and early winter months.
So, my unqualified opinion is as follows:
Mark Richt is a good coach, great, great recruiter. I'm on the fence. There's value in a tenured HC. On the basis of record alone, he's the best we've had. Some would crucify him for failure to deliver a national championship. I'm not sure I'm in that camp, but being a manager of 110 employees, I know where the fault falls when the fan gets muddy. Replacing him would be more problematic than allowing him to stay. What I will say is that no man is better than his team, and all great men surround themselves with great men. To that end, my personal opinion here can be summed up in one word: Bobo. I can't believe that CMB is the best OC Georgia money can buy. Are you listening to me, boosters?
Our O-line has more holes than the Swiss cheese they serve at the Vatican...I said THE SWISS CHEESE THEY SERVE AT THE VATICAN!!?? Holy Swiss?...geez...tough audience. I swear, I replayed the game in slooooow motion and saw an old Buick full of lost snowbirds weaving their way through our o-line on their way to Florida. Word from the stat crew is that Theus got run over more times than a possum on 316. Still, the GREAT news here is that this team HAS to improve simply because there is no metric for a worse performance. With O linemen, big is good. We have plenty of big. Problem is, OUR big seems to come with slow and befuddled.
Todd Gurley, Quayvon Hicks. Studs. Malcolm Mitchell...official team numbnuts. Receivers and TEs...studs. QB...wawawawawaaaaaa. I don't get AM. It's like having a Lamborghini in the garage but no keys. Sure looks good on paper. Sure has all the tools, but let the rubber hit the road? I can't put the game on his shoulders since somebody on the Oline was trying to get him killed. I'm guessing AM was caught kissing John Theus's girlfriend, or perhaps he stole John's TANSTAAFL coupons...dunno. Stand between a big man and his girl, or a big man and a buffet and there's gonna be trouble. Pretty sure I could have ran through our O line this weekend. For a moment, I thought Willie Martinez was coaching our O line. Bend, don't break is not a good strategy for offensive lines. Even the kids in Section 110 know this.
Gotta give props to the kids on D. 6 Freshmen and they did fairly well considering the competition. They've got to wrap up those tackles. If they need to see how its done, watch John Theus tackle the Dominoes delivery guy. That's how it's done, kids.
Anyhoo...this one is in the bag. Scar and the OBC are next up. Right now, I say we lose this one too, for the simple reason that at the end of the game, AM will have a bruise eerily similar to an outline of Jadaveon Clowney tattooed across his back.

So true LimeyDawg about CMB. I've said it for years. He may be a good QB coach and recruiter but he sucks as an OC and play caller. I'd snatch that playbook from a ass so fast his head would spin off to Pluto and give it to one of the cheerleaders. Surely she could do a better job.

To be honest, the only reason why I want Richt gone is due to Bobo. From what I keep hearing, Bobo would not have a chance outside of UGA and Richt is playing pity on him through out these years. Bobo has how many kids again?

Either way, I've been pushing for Richt to remove Bobo and at this point, I don't think he has the balls to do it. Richt is like a good, honest CEO that is letting his CIO (Bobo) make terrible mistakes and letting it all slide. In business, we call this a slow sinking ship. The business might fail in 20 years, but every year until then is a nightmare of repetition and small failures that wreck havoc on the determination and motivation of the workers (players).

I like Richt. His stats are nice (though they don't explain the issues we are having and it's the worst rebuttal I have to deal with against the fan base). The man has no balls though. Bobo is bringing us all down and Richt is the only one who can do the right thing, and since he'd rather save one friend and tank an entire team, I have big issues with that.

Our defense gave up 31pts and the focus is on the offense that gained over 500 yds of offense and scored 35pts against the #8 team in the country. Not to mention the crowd in the game. Can't blame this on Bobo IMO. 35pts should win you every game. I realize the offense gave them 7, but the other 31. Leaving it at that. Same old thing, we get beat, and somebody has to get fired. No offense in the country scores everytime they touch it against a quality opponent. Not real sure what the expectations are for Bobo, but they are unrealistic. He had a rough couple of years to start his career and some will never get over that.

I bet if we fired him, not sure where you heard those rumors, but I bet he would have a job within a month at another big school.

I mentioned my keys, play fast, play hard, and play smart. We did that with the exception of about 5 plays. Problem was those five plays got us beat. Keep growing.

GO DAWGS, make the routine tackles when you get a chance. Saw Boyd hemned up way to many times for what could have been big losses, and he gets back to the line of scrimmage. Can't happen.

Great post AD5....

My biggest worry months before the game came true.....our young D. Knew Boyd would have his way with them.

Andrews cost us three potential scores with his 3 holding penalties....NOT acceptable.

I'm with you....the D lost the game.....and we got beat by a better QB (just my opinion)

I don't want to fire Bobo...

There are a few other things I didn't want to do either....

1. Be here talking about a D that can't tackle or stop the run...again.
2. Be here talking about an O-line that can't block... again.
3. Be here talking about a special teams screw-up...again.
4. Be here talking about how to salvage our season before the end of the first month... AGAIN.
