growl, one thing that I really like about Langley . . . . does not make EXCUSES.
Jake Scott was the same way. Scott and VD had personal problems, from where I sit, Jake was right. That is another story. Took a long time for that difference of opinon to come "close" to being settled.
Jake loved Erk, and I can promise you, that was mutual. Say it again without getting too far into the real "stuff". Erk should have been Head Coach at Georgia, single biggest mistake made within our football program. If Erk had been Head Coach, there are no guarantees that we would have added another National Championship.
Buc would have loved to have seen what Erk could have done if the "politics" had not been involved at that point in time. Head coaches and ex head coaches sometimes have egos that look a lot like Steve Spurriers.
All we have to do is check what Erk did after he left Georgia. Hard for anyone to deny that he took a university from "nothing" and what happened after that . . . . the record speaks for itself. Buc will never, ever get past the TRUTH.
Back to this group of football players in Athens. Todd Grantham is very close to having "all bases covered". FACT. Believe that Grantham now has to live up to "our expectations". Reason . . . . Grantham said that the talent level is close enough to Athens to make a difference. He said that, I did not, just repeating what has been said.
I am not holding his feet to the fire, but will say this . . . . LSU is going to run the football. Allow them to gain the same yardage that others have against us, Metternberger will have a field day. Don't give a hoot if Jake Scott or anyone else is on the field, LSU is the real deal, and they are several times better than South Carolina.
Me thinks that Metternberger is not a running quarterback, we know where he will be 80/90% of the time. Straight three man front, we will be in trouble.
Sorry folks, LSU scares me. Real good football team lead by a coach that cannot be described as "conventional" or even close to that word.
Looking at some film, LSU is "nasty" again . . . . believe our season rests with LSU in Athens between the Hedges. My opinion.
I get sidetracked in my mind, can't help that. Yes I like Langley more than a lot.
