Somebody haz his serious face on. Maybe they were talking about Garner.

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

Get The Picture 
Mostly they were talking about BVG’s career in the porn industry now that he’s about done in football:

Not a caption, but somebody fill me in…..what was the conflict (alleged?) between VG and Garner?
LikeLike
Others will have more accurate details than I, but, essentially Garner is supposed to not work as hard as everyone else and VG made an ultimatum to Richt that either he goes or VG goes. Then, VG went on a pilgramige to Statesboro amongst a smorgezboard of other places.

Just looking at the body language and facial expressions tells you a lot. VanG looks like he got caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing and Mark looks disappointed in him. Very revealing photo of that relationship. Not a picture of two equals. Now who is it that wanted Brian as our commander … don’t be shy..speak up!

BVG could be at Georgia Tech next year.
LikeLike
Because he had so much success turning an option team into a perennial powerhouse at Georgia Southern?
LikeLike
I think he means as DC. But BVG’s years in the pros set him back as a college DC. The game changed so much in 7 years with the proliferation of the spread and the wide open passing games. And look at the talent he inherited at UGA. With tech’s lack of talent on D, it would be ugly.
LikeLike
Not to mention, they would have to do some personnel development to get back to an optimal 4-3 personnel. Of couse, GT was never particularly successful recruiting and developing players for a 3-4, so maybe the transition wouldn’t be so painful after all.
LikeLike
If you saw his interview in which he basically fired himself and the rest of the Aubie staff post-Georgia, VG indicated that Auburn needed bigger and stronger athletes on defense. If he believes Auburn doesn’t have the Jimmies and Joes, he’d likely take an even dimmer view of Tech at this point.

“Brian, you think you’re so smart turning this place into a dumpster fire so quickly. I swear, you and Derek just want to do this the quick and easy way. Kirby understands the plan — slowly bring the program down until a devastating loss to us brings the program to shambles. I told you not to go winless in the SEC. Geez, we won’t even get any BCS love from smoking you guys tonight. And you wonder why I put you on Auburn duty instead of keeping you as DC. I thought about sending you to Columbia after Spurrier retires, but you’ll have them 0-12 before I can blink. You simple-minded man, you still don’t understand. What Brian Bohanan is doing at Tech is beautiful — slow, painful drip of mediocrity. Look at Muschamp. He has his team in the top 10, but lost to us, just like we all planned and talked about. You’re ineptitude is going to get us found out. I’ll see you and Derek in my office at 8 a.m. sharp on Dec. 3. My gosh, you disgust me. And get a haircut for goodness sakes. Oh, and Brian, tell the family ‘hello.'”

That guy deserves everything he gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back in 07 a good friend of mine (Not gonna name him but,2007 sugar bowl mvp) gave me two tickets to watch his last game at UGA. It started raining as all the UGA parents were standing in line waiting on the doors to open. I was talking to Brandon Coutu’s grandfather when we heard a real obnoxious voice yell, I AM BRIAN VAN GORDER, AND YOU WILL LET ME IN WHEN I SAY SO!!!!!! He was yelling at the little girl behind the door, because he was too good to stand in the rain with the rest of the regular people. He’s an asshole then, and now. He gets what he deserved……
