Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Dalton’s closer to Knoxville than Athens. Maybe Lane has co-opted Krohn and given him the duty of trying to agitate Mark about something because Lane hasn’t been able to do it yet.

His columns lack professionalism and I am surprised his editors aren’t reigning him in a bit, if for no other reason than to maintain access to the UGA sports department. If I edited the paper’s sports section, I would be particularly concerned about the interaction with CMR he describes at the end of his column. P—— off coaches with juvenile questions does not put one on the road to success.

You can tell from the tone of the article from the onset that he was merely trying to be antagonistic and not really offer any valuable insight.

Funny how this dolt seems to think the only “big games” Matthew Stafford played in are the ones UGA lost.
Was beating Florida in 2007 a big game? What about any of the 3 wins he led UGA to over Auburn? AU was ranked top 5 his freshman year, and it was a road game. AU was ranked again his sophomore year, and UGA crushed them in the second half for an easy win. Was the Georgia Tech game in 2006 a big game? Wasn’t Tech favored in that one? Weren’t they champs of their division in the ACC? Did he not play well enough to help UGA win? What about the comeback win over VaTech in the Peach Bowl his freshman year, or the crushing blowout of media darling Hawaii, or even the bowl win over Michigan State? UGA trounced trendy pick Oklahoma State in 07.
No, the only way to define big games, if you’re a pitiful scribe from the Terence Moore School of Annoying People So They’ll Read Your Pitiful Excuse of a Column, is if UGA loses.

You caught me there, pal. There was also the thread where you and many others took a break from Tebow-trashing to malign Paul Johnson’s offense. Now that we’ve passed a 45-42 offensive explosion at the dawg’s expense, would you care to revisit that subject?

Actually, PJ’s offense is now 1-0 against the dawgs. It appears your math skills are even worse than your writing capabilities. I’m starting to doubt you ever attended UGA. Athens High, maybe?
LikeLike
That’s not exactly what I said. My point was that Tech’s offensive production was inconsistent in 2008. And it looks like Tech’s last two games of the season bore that out.
I give Johnson a lot of credit for sticking to his guns at halftime in Athens and having faith in his game plan.
But don’t forget that Tech’s third quarter explosion came against a defense that had performed abysmally in several other games that didn’t involve triple option offenses. So how much of the debacle do we credit to offensive scheme and how much to defensive execution (or lack thereof, to be more precise)? I suspect that Georgia fans and Tech fans have strikingly different answers to that question.
LikeLike
Seriously doesn’t have a clue.

Your points are correct (IMO) and well taken. The thread I was referring to is the lengthy one where you noted some sports reporter (I think) who said that PJ’s offense would be a good entree for an emerging Division II team. You and your pals here elected to interpret this as saying PJ’s plan is a Division II offense. After all the criticism, it seemed appropriate for me to take a victory lap here – that Division II offense just put 45 points on your team! 🙂
It was a strange game and despite the preseason rankings, I’m not making any predictions for a GT victory in this year’s game. LSU demonstrated how to successfully defend GT’s offense and I expect the quality of GT’s defense to fall quite a bit this year.
Meanwhile, my expectations for UGA are a bit stronger. You took a hit with the loss of Stafford and Moreno, but this may be a case of “addition by subtraction”. Cox looks like a solid QB who will likely make fewer mistakes than Stafford did. Samuels looks strong (obviously, he’s no Moreno, but I’d love to have him playing for the Gators this fall). In total, I’m expecting the dawgs to play with more team cohesion in 2009 than they exhibited in 2008.

It’s actually a reflection on the media coverage. Comments that are negative about Tebow personally or either non-existent or extremely rare. Negative comments on his athletic abilities usually focus on his NFL prospects. Nobody can argue that he’s not an excellent college QB.
The posts you describe are reactions to the “simply meeting Tebow makes you a better man” gushing that the media regularly churns out. Ridiculing hyperbole like that is no reflection on Tebow at all.

I half agree with you. The man-love Tebow gets from the media is nauseating and I’ll assert that handicapping Tebow’s NFL potential is fair game regardless of the media fellate-fest he receives. However, that is not the limit of remarks I’ve read here. There certainly is a lot of circumcision humor (amongst other things) aimed at Tebow and that has nothing to do with the media coverage he has received.

You must have missed the reverent tone in Chris Fowler’s delivery when he told the nation about Tebow’s surgical career during the broadcast of the Gators’ 2008 spring game.

No, I didn’t miss that one. Personally, I don’t put that particular story in the same nauseating category with the “know Tebow and you’re a better person” garbage. It may actually be true. There are a number of people I can personally say that about (e.g. my wife has made me a better person, my father too), but I wouldn’t call that sports coverage.
Besides, I’ve read plenty of negative crap about Tebow here, even excluding the circumcision crapola.
LikeLike
You are correct. When the media is the messenger, they’re fair game. Thanks Thom Brennaman. Tebow probably should not be made fun of because of circumcision or anything else that the usual suspects think is ribald.
When the messenger becomes the media, it’s less clear. As the circumcision tale circulated through the media, it got elevated to be not so much a mighty act on the part of Tim but an unusual weird one. More so than even the Ole Miss speech plaque fable. Congradulation. Go Gator.
Those of us who have a tendency not to overcome any temptation offered and who cannot resist being blasphemous about Tim doing things that, on first glance, elevate him so much higher than than the muck the rest of us are stuck in, can’t resist throwing a little jab or two his way.
The good news is that it has the same effect on Tim as the Global War on Lane has on Lane, which is none.

You do what you got to do to pay the rent. He just doesn’t sound any different from some random Tech fan blabbing about Georgia. It’s hard to say Stafford was the reason for the Tech loss when the defense got run all over by the Jackets. Other than the 1 pick, Stafford threw for 405 yards. Not exactly a lack luster or let alone a “choke” performance. He sounds like a Tech fan to me. Tennessee fans seem to have a higher self esteem than this guy.

I must agree with your assessment of the GT/UGA game. Your offense scored 42 points against my beloved bugz, so I wouldn’t blame Stafford. Your defense surrendered 45 points, so the blame probably lies there. Anyone who blamed the QB for a loss like this is putting way too much weight on the shoulders of one player.
This reporter reminds me a lot of Mike Bianchi at the Orlando “Slantinel”, who regularly trashes the Gators. I suspect he’s just trying to sell papers.
