Butch: “We live in a week-to-week season, a week-to-week life. What’s different in today’s world is all the clutter and distractions."

“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
In this changing world it is comforting to know that some things are constant and never change–like Booch being FOS.

To be clear, I have an unhealthy dislike of the man because a) he coaches at UT and I hate UT (though I liked DD) b)we have somehow managed to give his teams the ridiculous beat downs they deserved
That said, I think we are all thinking about this the wrong way. These quotes are pure gold from an entertainment perspective. He really is a Hall of Fame A$$clown. We should cherish his tenure at UT. first and goal on the one yardline, and he doesn’t line his QB under center to give his best offensive player a running start would have been a crime, but to then throw the ball was even worse.

Just listened to the Podcast on Dawgnation about Smart’s comments on o-Line and MSU’s defense / 5* Simmons.
Said he was tired of talking about grading the oline. 3 factors. Hard to push bigger players and a 5*
But what he did say, is what I recall I said…”pad level”.
Perhaps Pittman can work some of that in on this oline from when at Arkansas in their better games, because they were like Boise State at one time…very good on pad level running and throwing.
Sports world think MSU is the team in the SEC now with Bama.
Come Sunday we will all know.
Boooch just needs a watch with 51 seconds…and his world would be good.
What goes around will come around coach.
