Gator Bowl game day thread

I have to pull for Auburn now. Imagine AUBURN winning two national titles with two different coaches in 5 years. Auburn gets less talent than UGA does but they can find two different coaches worth at least some level of competence. And this team has no Nick Fairley or sCam Newton.

As I said long ago if Richt did not have the religious component as part of his schtick he would already have been replaced.

Trouble is, sooner or later, those flimsy post jacks have to break.

Truth averagedawg . . . .

While all of us know that post here, we believe that the coaches don't look at what is being said by the internet folks. AM said before the 2012 Season that much had been read. Too bad that AM had to play the quarterback position and coach the football team. Even went to Mississippi and Oklahoma during his off time to improve. Appears that our coaches don't need to do that. They have been in the "arena", nothing else to learn.

Better prepare ourselves now for what is facing us. There are several in the SEC that are definitely on the rise. Stick with the lack of leadership that runs "our" program now, would not surprise me to see a much larger failure before the magical year of 2017.

yd1 has mentioned that there seemed to be some rumblings in Athens about a "cooler" handshake between richt and grantham. Think I got that close to right. My question is . . . . who caused that . . . . surely not those of us that have been . . . . but have not been in the "arena". Was at the game in Orlando against Nebraska and watched richt physically grab grantham and pull him away from where he wanted to go.

Not going to say "psycho", but an ego can be a terrible thingy. Seem to remember ohio state and Clemson some years back with a coach that went too far. An acquaintace of mine played on that Clemson team. Lives a stones throw away from me now.

Some might not remember the 1978 Gator Bowl. If you have not seen this video, brings back the word "psycho" to me.

Who needs competence we have continuity that means a lot more. There is nothing wrong with our coaching just ask them. Like TG says just a play or two decides the ball game. You think he would watch the film and see how our guys are being beat and out of position just about every play.Why do think Nebraska would pass on 3 and 14 from the half yard line? answer: because they watch film and knew it would be open just like it has been all year. Pride is a mighty thing. You can never learn any thing if you already no it all.

Buc, Diehard Buceyes still worship Woody Hayes.
Thanks for bringing back old memories.

I think it is very telling when fans who support other programs say, and I quote, " I like MR, but I have to wonder how long he will be there with the amount of talent he has and not win a NC."

Some would say long enough.

All the Bama, Auburn and FLorida guys I know hope Richt stays forever.
