The Georgia Bulldog Club meeting was a blast. Great turnout, and everyone there was gracious. I didn’t trip walking to or from the podium and the speech was well received.
Many thanks to Kevin Clark and the rest of the Club for extending me the invite. And if you’re ever in the neighborhood when there’s a meeting, drop in.
By the way, if you ever need somebody to fire up a Georgia crowd with a little Gator hate, Eric Zeier is your man. He killed it last night.

Scorp, EZ has plenty of reasons to hate the Gators.
’91 – we were a year away from being competitive
’92 – that damn defense couldn’t get UF off the field to give EZ and the offense one more crack at winning the game.
’93 – the timeout (the only time I could say I was proud of a “moral victory”).
’94 – one of the ugliest performance by a Georgia team. EZ didn’t even finish the game in Gainesville because our o-line was so bad.
Grantham got exposed in the 2nd half. Maybe Louisville’s defensive stats were the result of the schedule they played.
I’ll start my worrying tonight and tomorrow morning. I’m going to play golf to get my mind off it for a while.

Those late TD’s where the D stacked the line of scrimmage, did not set the edge and took bad angles…..all too familiar.
CTG is smart enough to know that he can’t really hack it as a DC in college ball. He’ll be at L’ville for 3 seasons and then abruptly leave. 3 years is long enough to coach Strong’s players to statistical success against a crappy schedule and short enough to not be held responsible for his own recruits.
LikeLike
While I’m not a Grantham supporter by any stretch of the imagination, I’d like to put some of the blame on Lakatos as well for the secondary. I mean he was the secondary’s coach and I would think that he definitely had a say on who they recruited in the secondary. I think he was in over his head here at Georgia. And now I couldn’t be happier with what Pruitt has done so far this year and am excited to see what he can give us in years 2 and 3 (and hopefully longer).
LikeLike
I dunno. I think CTG was convinced that if he waved his arms furiously and constantly changed the plays, our guys would play like the Ravens or Steelers. The reality is that college players aren’t mature enough and good enough to play like that.
As to talent in our secondary, Tra will play in the NFL. JHC might, though he is bone-headed.

I get what you’re saying with Grantham waving his arms and constantly changing plays, but the secondary struggled all year and showed no signs of improvement while, the LB’s and DL had some good games and a decent year overall. And yeah, we were really young in the secondary but there was talent there which should have been coached up by both Grantham and Lakatos.

I am certain that whatever previous success Louisville has had on D this season is as a direct result to the quality of player recruited and coaching given by Charlie Strong and his staff when he was at Louisville. At crunch time, though, Grantham’s defensive play-calling kicked in allowing FSU to run away with the game. In the 4th quarter Louisville looked exactly like Grantham’s Georgia D looked last season. Bad angles, people looking like they didn’t know what to do, etc. By next season Grantham will have completely destroyed Louisville’s D. This is poetic justice for Petrino, however not for the Louisville players, students and fans.

Watching that game felt exactly like that reoccuring nightmare of being back in school but failing your classes: It was stressful and miserable, and the feeling only mostly went away upon waking and realizing it was just a dream, we don’t actually have a final due in a class we are skipping, and Grantham is no longer our problem.
