“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

CMR did exactly what some of us have been calling for.
(and not for a second do I believe it’s because he reads our opinions on GTP…we use GTP to voice our ideas, concerns and wring our hands and each other’s necks sometimes 🙂 )
Everyone is happy because things changed last night..for the much better.
Had he come out with the Vandy plan..Georgia still would have won but it would not have been so wonderful and exciting.
So most realists won’t stand corrected..because what they called for happened just the way they thought and hoped it would.
1 The “Evil Richt” showed up.
2. The “Vanilla Offense” didn’t.
3. CMR certainly kept his foot on the pedal.
4. The “Killer Instinct” was in full view for 60 minutes.
I myself never called for CMR to do anything other than hunker down and he did. I never doubted his call for Lambert to be the starter. I, and a lot of others, just wanted to see a more agressive, evil Richt.
We love him every bit as much as we had imagined we would.
