Understand that I am more vocal than anyone else on this board. Have come to realize that while I chatter more, many do the same thing without a lot of chatter.
Thinking about it a lot recently. All I really want whether or not it is showing itself in my posts, comes down to this . . . . Really tired of looking at successful programs that somehow seem to come out ahead, whether or not it is above board or not. You and I don’t decide that, supposed to come under the umbrella of the NCAA. SEC won seven straight National Championships, have yet to see the title taken away from any of the winning programs. Do not see our program listed in the seven winners.
OK, this is why I started this thread. Is there any reason to believe that the University of Georgia will win a National Championship in the near future? If you think so, would be interesting to see why you think so.
Have you folks looked at the recruiting that has transpired as we talk? I continue to see the same name universities with the higher recruiting numbers than we have. I like many of the named players that say they are going to enter school in Athens, but I also look at the names of those that are going elsewhere in the SEC. Not going to bring up universities outside our conference.
Somehow when I look around and try to find an answer for myself, I come back to the same place that I started. We are what we are. I read blogs that say every year in the Spring . . . . Here comes the talk from the folks that wear the Red and Black, talking about a National Championship. Easy enough to change the numbers in the year for example . . . . Start at 1980 and move forward. Is that statement close to the truth?
We have changed head coaches, athletic directors, university presidents and heaven only knows how many assistant coaches.
So, we move back to the 1940’s and move forward to the 1980’s and where we are now. What is it going to take to get on the same level that other universities are or have been?
This is the “stuff” that an old fart like myself thinks about. While the old fart posts a lot about different things concerning our football team, don’t really see a lot of different “chatter” coming from what I have seen in the past.
Do not mean this to be something ugly, just expressing what I have seen and feel over many years.
It is going to be a lot tougher for us and those of us that want a National Championship since the new “set up” allows four teams to play for the Crystal.
If we want to be there, we have to do “several” things better than we have since the 1940’s. VD had Walker in the 1980’s, if not, we would not be talking about the 1980’s, we would have to hang our hats on the 1940’s.
Something has to change, and maybe it will be a simple change. However, it does not work that way for you and I. All we have to do is look at the times listed above.
I go into 2014, and I mean this sincerely. Looking for change.
The word "change" rests with you folks, "change" can mean a lot of things.
