Going to a sports bar would be my guess.
“They’re both on at the same time? Man!” Murray said of the two SEC games. “I’m going somewhere to eat so I can watch both of them. That’s what I’m going to do, making sure both games are on so I can watch both. I definitely want to watch the Alabama-LSU game, but obviously I’ve got to watch the Arkansas-South Carolina game and hope Arkansas can pull it out.”

And you probably wouldn’t hear a word until something bad happened. Then it would be, “well, we got caught up in where we were in the East standings” or “We didn’t really take them seriouslly enough”. Just because you haven’t heard about him not taking this game seriouslly doesn’t mean he is. I am pretty chill on it, honestly. I just don’t want to sit through some really ugly football because the team was trying to decide how they were going to watch other teams, instead of making sure they dominated an inferior opponent. That’s all I am saying.

Over-kill? Yes. Overly anxious? No. We are playing walk on RBs. I know its NMSU, but still. Your best bet for this game was to get up while getting some meaningful reps in, and getting out without injury. Now, you have to be creative and put players into situations they aren’t normally in. Against an opponent who, while not great, will treat this like their superbowl. And our starting QB (who hasn’t been the sharpest recently) is looking at what his plans are for after the game? If we had lost to UF, would you be as lax on this? My bet is no. Ideally I would love to hear nothing from him and just see flawless enxecution while he tunes up for Aurburn.

Hey William, the game he’s playing in this weekend with the walk-on RB kicks off a little after noon. The games he wants to watch kick off Saturday night.

Settle down, Francis. If you read the quote, he doesn’t have a plan yet, not that it takes THAT long to figure out what bar or house you’re going to.

I think we’ll be OK without the 10 seconds that it took to answer this question, seeing as how he was dealing with the media anyway and thus unable to study the gameplan during this time. Jesus.

I’m not blasting your opinion; but can you at least understand when the games kick off. You’re wanting him to worry about NMSU insteand of watching those games. Meathead! the Dawgs play at noon and those games are on Saturday night. Your statement makes no sense! If you had said he should be worried about Auburn, I would be ok with that. But you didn’t. Your statement makes it sound like you have no idea when the game kick off.

I never said you were blasting my opnion. I said I was being blasted over my opinion (which the Meathead comment seems to back up). I actually do know when all three games mentioned kick off. If we were to win a tight game and got a few key people hurt before Auburn, because the guys didn’t take the game seriouslly how pissed would you be? That’s my point. Whether it’s fair or not, when a player speaks to the media what he says is scrutinized. I will admitt the exclamation points make my concern seem over done. However, I still feel my point is a valid one. How often do you hear about LSU and AL players talking like this? I love Murray, seriouslly. I just would love to see them get up big on this team and rest everyone. Past history leads me to be pessismistic though.

Since you have stated that you understand the schedule of all three games, your statements now appear that you don’t understand the linearity of time. You are saying that AM watching games that occur AFTER he plays will somehow affect him during the game. That seems ridiculous to most of us.

But if you hurry up and put away the Aggies, you can truck back down to Tallahassee for another party. Either way recommend you carry Bennett , King, McGowan, Conley, Charles, and company…you will need those guys to handle the remote.

William, I’m sorry everybody piled onto you, but we’re trying to stay positive, not because of the winning stretch, but because this team DOES seem to play with heart. So saying that they’re backsliding or not caring about competing or caring goes against what we’ve been seeing on the field. We have had our issues this year, but I don’t think grit and desire has been one of them.
You can make SOME criticism of AM’s play this year, but the kid can’t do much more to convince me he gives a real serious damn about GA football. I much prefer his attitude to stupid Tebow’s bizarro over-emoting and treating footbaw like some weird mythological journey and playing bad sports rock (=fake juice) to pump his idiot team up.
Also, would AM be a serious competitor if he did NOT give a damn about the other games on Saturday? I’d think he was insane if he wasn’t thinking about the other games…
I get that you are worried that the team could lose some focus, I am too, but this doesn’t really indicate that to me.

Was traveling this PM, sorry I missed all the fun. Two comments:
1. I have it on good authority that AM was in Tallahassee during the off week on a scouting trip for an expected bowl opponent so everyone backoff that weekend, it was official business.
2. William, there is no, zero, chance this game can be anything BUT an ugly game. If we play well, executing the Mike Leach, no RB offense, the game will be a blowout so pretty ugly. If we don’t execute some exotic offense well, we could lose/struggle with NM State, now THAT, and the resulting fallout, would be coyote ugly. So count on it, it will be ugly, and it won’t be your fault.
