Ladies and gentlemen, a rare sighting – the final score on the BDS scoreboard after a(nother) Tech loss to Georgia:
I looked up maybe a minute after it was over, and they’d already pulled that sucker.

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

Love the photo. Many GA fans can never be happy. They are the kids at Christmas that get tons of good things but whine and complain that did not get everything.

Do you think they are upset that we don’t get the crystal trophy every year, or that our conference rivals have taken the last 7 since we last even won a conference championship?

I should’ve known you would jump in with a personal insult. Clearly anyone who thinks the program can do better is incapable of enjoying nice wins like the rest of us and we all must cry ourselves to sleep every single night because we have lost a single game in the past 7 years.
I’m not the one who brought up the topic either, mind you, as I was simply responding to someone else who threw the first stone. And quite frankly, I’m not the least bit bothered by the fact that we haven’t and won’t win a NC. Keep projecting BS on me though. I understand that you need to feel like you are “better” or “more mature” than someone else on the interwebs.

Oh c’mon man…don’t be…grumpy? You put the shot in about UGA not winning while our conference rivals did. Don’t be disingenuous that you aren’t implying it’s a shortfall that can be corrected with a change in the HC (…”program can do no better…” “…won’t win a NC.”) Look at those teams since 2007. Only 4 different ones. Nearly all with a Heisman winner leading them. We’ve been a play or two away, scorned by the WWL and other incredibly bad luck. Bogey Dawg was correctly pointing-out how some fans will never be satisfied without a MNC but don’t put it into any kind of context. If that stone wasn’t aimed at you, why’d you let it hit?

” Bogey Dawg was correctly pointing-out how some fans will never be satisfied without a MNC”
Wrong. Bogey was essentially saying that those who are dissatisfied with the program expect us to win the MNC every year. I quoted what he said above.
And, well, I’m not fully convinced on the “bad luck” aspect considering we’ve had our share of good luck too. Maybe ESPN wouldn’t have scorned us in 2007 if our two losses weren’t to an unranked 6-6 SC team and a 35-14 blowout to a team that LSU beat in the SECCG. Like it or not LSU’s body of work was better than ours that year. 2002 is a different story, but I’ve mentioned in other posts how the ball bounced in our favor last year and we didn’t get it done.
LikeLike
Oh, and it’s perfectly possible to accept the fact that we are never going to win a MNC and still be happy and enjoy good wins over our rivals, contrary to the false dichotomies that you and Bogey Dawg like to present.

I don’t know why I keep rehashing this. It’s like I can’t stop myself. And even though I’m responding to your post, this isn’t directed at you. It’s directed at the “LSU’s resume was better than UGA’s in 2007” argument.
My problem with that line of thinking is, if indeed their resume was better than ours, why weren’t they ranked higher than us going in to the SEC Championship game? We both had two losses (and I’ll agree that their losses were less embarrassing than ours). They had made it to the game and we hadn’t. If they had been #2 and we had been #3 before the game, I would not have any problem with how things played out. The rankings were gamed by enough people to get the result that Herbie and ESPN wanted, and the rest is history.
WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO LET THIS GO, O LORD!
Sigh.
LikeLike
Well, my point was that LSU’s resume AFTER the SECCG was better than ours because they just beat a team that steamrolled us. Even without ESPN’s lobbying, a two loss conference champion should leap a two loss team from the same conference (unless the conference champ lost head to head against the other team). Perhaps our resume was better BEFORE the game, but certainly not after. If UGA weren’t your favorite team I doubt you would feel the same way you do now.
I also don’t believe that ESPN has as much influence in voters minds as some people think. If a couple of blog readers can see their bias, don’t you think others can as well? I suppose that’s another argument for another day though.

I tried to get a picture of the board about 30 seconds after the game ended, not remembering that the Jackets like to get butthurt about games and switch the scoreboard off immediately after a loss. It seems like they didn’t do that after the 2011 game there, but I remember after one of Richt’s first wins there it literally switched off one second after the clock hit zero.
Contrast that with what I’ve been told about the aftermath of Jasper Sanks in ’99 when they left the scoreboard on ALL WEEK.
