From Athens- Friday Thoughs

Understand doing chores building responsible and doing what is expected does not necessarily bring rewards

However, the process of doing what is expected does carry at the very least timely

Recognition .... from those doing the expecting.


Go Dawgs

Wow, is this seriously a discussion that somehow UGA fans are responsible for building richt's self esteem by praising him for doing what is expected of him? Wow, just wow. And richt said he never pays attention to the internet so I guess he'd never see it anyway.

I praise my kids all the time wlayton. 10 times more than scolding.... just like you, sir.


I just don't jump up and down and give them a $20 gift card when they do their daily chores, and
I mention it to them when they don't.


Just for the record though... Richt isn't my kid. He's a grown man paid to do a job. He doesn't get participation trophies when he does it with some degree of competence.

You make a very good point sadlerdawg.

While there might be, probably is a lot of "stuff" that no one wants to hear . . . . how does one get better if we don't listen.

Have always had a problem with those in a position of trust that blow honest talk away.

If I am the head coach at the University of Georgia, or the athletic director, what better way to evaluate ones performance than reading what others have to say. Sure, some is garbage, but putting ones head in the sand is worse than those that continually throw garbage.

Have found the following to be true in many instances in my life. Those above the masses that high five and pat on the back, usually are doing "real well" in their lives. Has been referred to on this board more than many others as . . . . being comfortable.

If any head football coach states that they don't participate on the internet, whether just reading or going a step further, that is a closed mind. Too busy, I say BS. Anyone notice that Lilly posted on the internet his agreement with Schottenheimer being hired as the offensive coordinator? I don't like rooms that have no Sunshine. One remains in Athens, yes the Classic City. Coaches "tweet" but don't go any further than that . . . . right?

yd1, you and I are long enough in the tooth to understand "timely recognition".

Let me repharse what I was pointing to originally

When the heads and some of us make doom and gloom forecasts before underscore before they

Happen and then it does no turn out that way such as the bowl practices

Then those who sang this song it seems reasonable that speaking in something more than wisper

The acknowledgment of errors is not a question of expectations

A simple thank you works better than a gift card imo

Well... my apologies to everyone for being a bit too uptight. I actually know football's place in life. I only exercise this passion in this arena.. the site, where the purpose is to talk passionately about UGA football.

It is however a heavy workload time for me, and that stress combined with too much coffee has made me more passionate than necessary.
