Aubuurn Game Day Thread

Monday morning, and I'm still not over this one.


I do not understand how you can't knock that ball down.



Oh wait... now I remember..

Urban Meyer took the job in Florida for one reason. He knew that Tebow was going to be a gator. That is not something that Meyer controlled, Tebow was commited from the time he picked up a football.

The result of that was Crystals.

Urban Meyer took the job in Utah for one reason. Meyer had Smith coming in and that was needed for his offense.

Meyer left the gators that he "loved" so much to take on the Ohio State job. Why Ohio State, and particularly at the time he made the move? Ohio State had a quarterback that could run his offense.

Every team that Meyer left, left them in circumstances that had his recruiting hand on, however it did show his weakness.

Urban Meyer is a calculating individual. It is not about them, it is about "him".

Why mention Urban Meyer? Well, we have had one fine quarterback along with impressive running backs recently and where has Mark Richt taken us . . . . We can talk injuries, but I believe we would be better served to understand that we are relegated to occasionally winning the East, but not finding our way to a BCS bowl, and the coveted Crystal . . . . won't happen under Mark Richt.

Soon we will get a lot of hoop-la out of Athens on signing day. Mark Richt will tell us what a great recruiting class Georgia has coming in. Here is where the rubber meets the road . . . . we ususally have top recruiting classes, loaded with running backs and quarterbacks. As has been mentioned on this board, what about the offensive and defensive lines? Not one year of recruiting the lines, that should be a continuing effort each year. Ask Saban/Smart how that works out.

Need coaches that understand where the game is played. This group does not, and that comes from the top. Richt understands quarterbacks and . . . . ?

I will never get over this one, not in this lifetime.

My pastor got up on Sunday morning, and this is the first thing he said to the congregation.....


"I grew up playing tennis, and never played a minute of football..... and even I know you knock that ball down"


Guys... this game was a microcosm of MR's tenure in Athens...

ALWAYS one blown something away from greatness. In a season... in a single game; no matter what, we can find a way to come up
short when we absolutely have it all in our favor...



Hey Todd!!!! What's the problem with our D??????

Honesty is a strong character trait that is irrelevant to him walking away....nobody in America would walk away including the both of us.

You're making FAR too broad of a statement here, wlayton. Before I got into the profession I'm in now, I walked away from a good paying profession because it got more difficult and I didn't care for it any more. Money was still good, but I walked away. Not getting into the whole honesty thing with richt, but to make an assumption that nobody in America would walk away from a profession just because it pays well, is, well, absurd.

sadler, averagedawg re-addressed it in the appropriate way. I know how good a man averagedawg is and never doubted that he probably meant it the way he re-phrased it.

My point has simply been that you can't assume someone isn't honest just because he wouldn't walk away from a great job after a few problem years....so sadler, in this example, if CMR doesn't walk away, should we think he isn't an honest person?

averagedawg's re-statement I totally agree with.

This is what I posted to begin with....

I was commenting on the post you made about nobody walking away from a good paying job, and stated I didn't want to debate richt's honesty. I don't know the man, nor whether he is honest in his heart or to himself... and walking away from a job that he's not very good at would do nothing to sway my non-knowledge of his honesty.
