Hey, give us some credit – at least this time nobody egged the starting quarterback’s house after a depressing defeat as a top 10 team!
Apathy disguised as maturity… you gotta take what you can get, folks.
By the way, anybody notice Pruitt used “Aight” in Marc’s article? Gettin’ more ‘Bama every day.

“Unless Georgia starts steam-rolling people, this loss, even if they win the SEC championship game, this loss is going to be remembered,” Mike Greenberg of ESPN Radio’s “Mike and Mike” said Monday morning. “Championship teams don’t lose that game.”

Now Mike did qualify his statement with “unless Georgia starts rolling people.” THE OSU did lose to VT…but they also had the rest of their B1G schedule to roll people. And roll them they did.
Sadly, SEC schedules don’t really allow for that many blowouts–at least I don’t see the Dawgs blasting more than 1 more team on the schedule. I hope I am wrong. If Alabama plays the way they did Saturday the rest of their games–they could roll everyone else the way OSU closed the season last year.

Thats just how the Falcons roll. They just don’t get it. A month or so ago, Dimitroff visited UGA practice to take a look at our linebacking core. The radio played the hallelujah song in response to the fact that the Falcon’s even acknowledged the Dawgs (and the SEC in general) existed.

Guess you got the ESPN meme stuck in your head, for whatever reason they were just so adamant to make it seem like the guy was always getting hurt, when he got hurt 3 times.
The guy rolled an ankle badly 1 year, injured his hammy another, and his ACL in another.
Of those only 1 can even really be considered for possible repeat injuries.
The ankle was just something that can happen when a 250 LB guy jumps on your back as you run.
The Hammy injury occurred when he pushed it a bit too hard against Clemson on his long run, players injury hammies all the time and are not labeled “injury Prone”
The ACL, I personally think most of that as just a freak injury. Guy has not had any issues with his ACL prior, so nothing to say that he is injury prone with it.

You people are idiots. The Falcons are 4-0 thanks in large part to the addition of Vic Beasley to the defense. Todd Gurley doesn’t make the Falcons better this year. Devonte Freeman has been just what we need at RB.
But that’s about the kind of thinking I’d expect from people who make excuses for Richt because he’s a nice guy. I don’t give a damn if the Falcons ever draft a Bulldog, and if you were an actual intelligent fan, you wouldn’t either.

Insight #7: The flaw in the article is comparing 2012 to 2015. True what they have in common is an early blowout loss and Richt as Head Coach both times. Where they are different is UGA would likely have to play Alabama again. And the Qb play is different from an experience standpoint. And there are no NFL WR’s besides Mitchell. Apples & oranges. And pretty much all the Asst coaches are new since 2012. The 2015 team couldn’t be more different than the 2012 team.

2012 Georgia didn’t make a BCS bowl because they played in the SECCG and lost. Had Georgia not won the East, Florida wouldn’t gone and promptly gotten the absolute f**k beaten out of them by Bama, rather than saving that sort of thing for the Sugar Bowl in front of about 13,000 or so of their fans. I think ’07 Hawaii brought more people to NOLA than ’12 Florida did.
In retrospect, Georgia really deserved a BCS at-large bid. Florida was on fumes and borrowed time, which showed itself in full the following season.
