Fact: Georgia's 2nd half shutout of Clemson was the 1st time the Tigers have been held scoreless in a half since Chad Kelly arrived.

“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
Were we coveting Chad Morris? Is he serious?

Reminds me of an article from a national publication from the mid/late 90’s, in which the author proclaimed that the internet was overrated and would never be much of a factor in our lives. Went on to say that predictions that we’d soon be shopping/buying from various, soon-to-be online stores was utterly absurd and would never happen.
Okay, that article was far worse, but you get the point. Although, the fact that he tied in Chad Morris for the next UGA HC was way out there.

Speaking of pundits, John Pennington did a “Great Eight Review” at Mr. SEC that was right up our alley as fans, but saved his last remarks as an add-on which favored some of my previous remarks about a favorite person:
“And One To Grow On – Georgia has averaged at least 30 points per game in five of the last six seasons. The guy loses guys to injury, dismissal, early transfer, early NFL exit, and his offense continues to produce year-in and year-out. He’s the metronome of SEC offensive coordinators. Any Dawg fan who’s yapping about Bobo’s play-calling – and they’re still out there – might as well start barking at the moon. That’d make as much sense.”
Stuff that one in your pipe, naysayers.

BTW, did anybody notice Morris on the sideline during the game, and how he acted and carried himself? Just his way, I guess. But I don’t want him in Athens, in any capacity.

Agreed. I saw it on the replay. Panic set in early with him.

Dean Legge wrote a check on Chad’s account and there weren’t sufficient funds to cover it…thus the panic. Mabe he’ll beat Legge”s natural ass for putting him on such a spot.

Some people just have “it” and/or look the part in some way or fashion. For me personally, he doesn’t at all from the few times I’ve seen him on tv during games over the past few years. While I do think he’s a good OC, who most likely has saved Dabo’s job since being hired by him, I just don’t see him being HC material at a big program.

And of course he would jump right past Bobo as HC.

I’ve been to a bunch of games but until last week I’d never been to the Dawgwalk. Coach got a louder, more enthusiastic cheer than Gurley did.
Whatever media idiots might say, Georgia fans are not looking for a replacement. I for one hopes he stays for another fourteen seasons.

Yeah. I read Legge’s freebie article and saw that. The War Dept called me to do some crap I promised in a weak moment (well, weaker than most of my moments) and didn’t get back til now. Nice to see it was caught and my motive was to call him out as 15 yrs of age, but that would have insulted the 10-15 yr olds.
Legge had a good article and didn’t spare the stat whip. Niiice observation.

“….my motive was to call the him (the Clempson article writer out, not Legge, even though they both got the name wrong)…. A terrible writer who should check expressions carefully (me).
Anyway, Brent Venables, the author, should be ashamed of not knowing Ed McGranahan was D Coordinator at Clemsom. (Yes. Done intentionally)
The author in his “Special to the State” sure was special.

There must be something in the water in the state of South Carolina, the fans of both their universities are consistently delusional about their programs.
