So, as I’m watching the ACCCG (aka, The World’s Smallest Outdoor Cocktail Party… by the way, nice fog, guys), I find myself wondering if Hutson Mason is watching, too, and if he is, what’s going through his head as he sees FSU’s offensive line appear almost bored handling Ted Roof’s futile attempt to dial up a pass rush.
I swear, there were times when it felt like Winston had enough time in the pocket to pull out a cell phone and order take out. From somebody whose first language isn’t English.
Georgia’s o-line sure picked a bad week to quit beasting on other teams.

I remember raging at the same thing. I was thrilled to see Tech lose, but I still can’t believe we lost to those bums.

Mason picked a bad week to throw the worst pick of his life.
He should buy Ray Drew dinner for the next thirty years.
“Hey, Hutson, I blocked an extra point for you.”
“Ray, you shouldn’t have. Tech, here’s the ball!” Cries…

Tech plays in a championship game. We lose to 2 terrible East teams one of which attempted a whopping 3 passes. The only thing that could top that would be seeing a team you destroyed 34-0 go to the SECCG. D’OH! The East has been awful the last 2 seasons and we haven’t been to a SECCG. But I’m excited to be 9-3. Hey we were 8-5 last year so things are getting better!

Especially compared to the penalty Tree got earlier in the game for a McCarron flop right in front of the crooked SEC referee.
The SEC didn’t even think it was a cheap shot after the game that would have warranted a conference suspension for the BcS championship game.

It is the Tree flag that stood out to me and not because it is common to dis Murray; but rather because ALL the attention is focused on a QB in the pocket.
For the record, I thought Ray was rightly tossed last night, in a game where Missouri could not afford to lose a single player but certainly not the best of its defense.

I stipulate that Georgia moving to the ACC is highly unlikely. However, the ACC appears to be the most perfect of fits for the UGA Athletic Department and their current mindset. UGA would be surrounded by programs that put an emphasis on a academics, moral supremacy, and lesser sports. In the modern SEC, UGA is a misfit and does not belong. This is not meant to be a shot at the football program nor Richt. The ACC is just a better fit as of today for the Dawgs.

Jim, did you read my entire comment? It has nothing to do with running from competition, and everything to do with the UGAAD and their vision/philosophy. Neither is inline with the current SEC. The only thing UGA has in common with the SEC programs is their desire to grow the bottom line.

I respectfully disagree with your premise. I think the UGAAD has a vision and philosophy of competing at the highest level. I will give you the fact that the reserve fund gets too much attention. I share disappointment in the won loss record. Maybe the strategies and tactics need tweaking, but we aren’t far off.

Skeptic I’m sorry to piss on your Corn Flakes, but Georgia is a good fit in the SEC academically and athletically. Everybody, everybody, thinks their school’s program in whatever discipline they got their degree is top this or top that. I think the infusion of higher scoring freshmen to Georgia is because of lottery scholarships more than Georgia suddenly raiding Harvard.
Georgia was good enough for this bonehead. It doesn’t have to put on airs.
And besides, you young whippersnappers have it easy.Things were a lot tougher when I was in Athens. Some of the bathrooms in the older buildings weren’t even air conditioned!

Guys, I am not advocating for a move to the ACC, nor I am even suggesting that it will ever happen. But there are fundamental differences between UGAAD (which many on this site have clearly stated numerous times) compared to that of Bama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, USC and now potentially MSU and Ole Miss. This is not a knock on the university, the AD, nor the football program. If, as Jim says, the vision of the UGAAD is to compete at the highest level it is only to gain the highest dollar and nothing more.

Hard to generate a pass rush when a team is having the type of rushing success FSU was having late.
Mason is thinking more about throwing that premeditated pass turned INT to end the game. All “let er rip” turned into was Mason locking in on one guy and it was often done blindly out of play action. DGD but I don’t have confidence that Mason had the ability to take advantage of what Winston had/has. It’s easy to say we didn’t throw more because of our running game but I haven’t forgotten who our OC is. He’s always made sure to remind us, with his play calling, that he was a UGA QB at one time.

Late in the game I thought it was interesting how Fisher adjusted his playcalling to make sure gtu used all their timeouts. FSU had problems scoring TDs and had to settle for FGs – a situation that looked quite familiar.
Fisher did a solid job working the plays, clock, and timeouts, in what easily could have been a loss.
Gtu came from behind a few times this year when the opposing coach made poor late game decisions. Good strategic moves late in games can help secure a win – who’d a thunk it!

Since ’92 FSU has 15 ACC titles.
Cameron irving out of Colquitt County High School owned the LOS and his gaps. Not good enough for UGA. 3 year starter for the Noles.
Cook and Chubb are the best 2 RBs in the country.
FSU’s secondary figured out how to play the edge and pitch. Our depleted secondary never did.
FSU’s O line was bigger, quicker, and more physical against Tech than Dawgs were. But then again Dawgs O line across the front does not compare to FSU. Probably a reason FSU is playing for a national title again, on a long win streak, and another conference title.
But remember CMR never thinks O lines are that important.
Coaching and recruiting players counts. Where is CMR’s dream team?
Coaching is important. That is why CMR has family members on his sidelines. Needs to let his assistants bring their family members to the sidelines.

Always enjoy reading your stream of consciousness, but I’m not sure you were watching the same game as everyone else.

What game was being watched here? The NATS’s O line made Swiss cheese out of FSU’s D line and the stats verified that. If anyone is comparing moments late in that game to late moments in our game, the stretch doesn’t match the analogy. That was the same squad that played us and they did the same thing to FSU as they did to us.
At some time we should give the Devil his due. FSU’s lack of D almost cost them the game against the NATS and against us, it did.
