If Bobo and Grantham competed against each other like this in a friggin’ G-Day game, how seriously do you think they’re taking the bowl game?

The thing that stuck out in that article for me was the description of Rumph’s play.. Oh what might/should have been.

And Tray Matthews, too. Too bad there wasn’t a tip-drill in that game for guys to see how to knock down a deep pass on fourth down.

My completely uninformed gut feeling is this: Grantham thinks Bobo is an unqualified hack that got where is his because of who he married and being a kiss ass to Richt. Bobo thinks Grantham is a know-it-all buffoon that is all sizzle and no steak that made his bones because the scheduling gods smiled on UGA in 2011. Coincidentally, their feels about each other may or may not mirror my own. Should be fun…

Yeah, because we’re the only team that played games like this. How about that garbage time at Missouri or Arkansas?

Dear, dear Otto…surely you’re smarter than this. You do realize that nearly every team and America (and the SEC) actually played an easier schedule than us. You do realize that Miss. St. played four cupcakes while we played two, right?
Our offense has been a scoring machine, especially in 2014. What Bobo has done has simply been remarkable, especially in light of the losses we experienced to injury and suspension the last two years. Is UGA the only team that scores a garbage time TD or plays a cupcake? The truth is that Richt decidedly does NOT tack on extra points in blowouts when we surely could (see Arky and Mizzou) and we play less cupcakes that most. We score a bunch of points. We’re good at offense. Really, really, really, really good at offense.

Auburn had a game where they flat out didn’t show up, the 1st under Malzahn. The same thing is at minimum an annual happening under the current staff in Athens.

Tying into your earlier post, of all the assistant coaches that make more money than Bobo, you know the margin between his and Grantham’s salaries has to be the one that sticks in Bobo’s craw the most. Light ’em up, Mike!

I expect Franklin/Grantham antics BEFORE the game.

I just wish someone would start leaking some dirt. I’m 100% convinced the 2013 defense was culturally far worse than we still even know, and I suspect it grew because of Grantham’s attitude/leadership style.
I also believe that there was serious dislike between the offensive and defensive coaches last year.

As do I, which is one of the reasons I don’t buy the whole “Richt was willing to keep Grantham around and was saved by Louisville” line of thinking.

Senator, what hurts reading over that post from 2013 was your comment about Rumph. I saw the same thing with him. I thought the kid had amazing talent and would have showed out this year.

I’ll tell you the truth, I hope the team/coaches are more excited about this game than me. I can’t get worked up either way about this game. IF we don’t win the East nor beat GT, what is left, other than stale leftovers?

FYI Senator, Chuck Oliver mentioned this blog today on 680–specifically the observations you made on G-Day game between Grantham and Bobo. Gave you props for a great blog. Said he didn’t know who you were other than you were a lawyer or something. I wouldn’t take that personally. 😉
