Not For Thin Skins . . . . Real Talk

At some point, and I am telling you nothing, those of us out here without the passes will get a chance to sift through what is and what isn't. I keep much of what is said by those that run "our team", gives me a much clearer picture of what the truth is. You know, you are "informed".

Question for those that haven't given up. Some don't like reading both sides of this board. They get quiet, say things like . . . . it has been said many times before. Got news for some, unless "our" program gets turned around, there will be a lot said.

Why is it not right for me to ask the "same questions" over and over again if I don't get any answers?

Why do I hear that our quarterback position is set? Do coaches no longer look at those that are more talented? Playbook understanding . . . . we are not talking about IC at this point.

Why do we never have offensive linemen that can step in year after year?

Is it that we don't have the talent? Why don't we have the talent when we are one of the top five recruiting states in the country?

Is that our fault, why has this happened? Surely it cannot be blamed on a lack of support. Last numbers I looked at, UGA is in a strong position, much stronger than most colleges in the country.

There is a simple reason that the top players in the State of Georgia leave. The coaching for the past several years is much better elsewhere. Lost the top linebacker to urban meyer, what the hell is the excuse for that?

See that is the problem. Not just the coaches making excuses, supposed UGA supporters doing the same.

Put Saban/Smart in Athens, Richt and his previous hires in Tuscaloosa. Want to know what would happen? Richt and company would be looking for jobs elsewhere.

Just thoughts. Have many more. [/quote

TRUTH

I am hoping for a great season.
After the ups and downs in the latter Richt years, I can only hope not expect.

yes

It would have been blamed on the young defense, Toddy and injuries.

I mean MR's offense performed admirably... look at those "stats" despite our injuries... had the O stats dropped off
from what the really were..well... there was all those injuries, ya know.

We got plenty of possessions per game.... hell, it didn't take long enough for the other team to score for our O to even get a drink of water before they were back on the field! :lol: :laugh:

Well, there IS some truth to that... :ohmy:

Your prior post eluded to my point.

Yeah... and in truth while I wish we could pound the ground game a bit more, it's hard to lay much on the offense.

If we had a real D and ST, we're not having a lot of these discussions.
