He’s entitled to complain. (h/t)

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

And then you came right back down the field and almost took it back anyway, Aaron, and they roughed you at the end and got away with it. I remember that too. What a DGD you were.

If the LSU receivers could catch there would’ve been a whole new chapter to 3rd and Grantham.

I always enjoy Gus’s offense looking overmatched. He’s right down there with CPJ and Corch Irvin Meyers in the “coaches I’d like to see lose every week” category.

While on a sentimental journey with Aaron Murray…. does it seem every time Hubert Owens calls our game it becomes bastardized?

Hubert Owens and crew like to turn all the games that he calls into showcases for referees. Happens every time.

Absolutely right! Now that Penn Wagers is gone Hubert Owens is the worst ref in the SEC, plus his crew is a flag-happy bunch–I suspect because he sets the tone himself. Time to retire him too.

I did. What a perfect fit he is for that swamp. I hope we give him the choke guesture all afternoon.
Did anybody notice the gator kick the ball into the stands after the pick 6 that sealed it? Wasn’t the one that ran it in, next guy down there picks it up and sent it all the way to 37f. unbelievable. All I could think about was our “celebration” against LSU… still fuming….

We stunk on both sides early in that game. The comeback led by #11 and #3 almost became a part of Georgia lore (Grantham’s defense played well in the comeback before you know …).

Putting some pressure on a QB in every passing situation is a must. Maybe not an all our blitz, but at least get in their eye. Looking at the Dobbs Hail Mary and the last play of the title game as examples where we let QBs stand uncontested and step into the throws, especially the Dobbs play. Prevent defense issues are especially a time to being some heat (if you insist in a prevent defense at all.)

As a died-hard Houston Oilers fan, “prevent defense” are trigger words. Thanks for the warning.

That was a memory to be forgotten. You sometimes see the huge momentum comebacks in CFB, but rarely in the NFL. You will get over it…in your next life….maybe.

I wish Murray would have kept his opinion to himself until after our game with Florida.

To be fair, it was CTG’s defense that stepped up in Jax when AM threw 3 first half INTs and appeared to be doing all he could to blow the game.
AM seems to have issues with our former DCs. One would think he’d be much harder on our former OL coaches.

Also, not sure how much an extra rusher really helps against Nick Marshall, if Georgia has faced a faster qb this century I can’t think of who it would be.

And that’s coming from a QB who well understands what the offense prefers to face in those situations. No rush, loose zone where everyone is trying to avoid getting beat.
Hail Mary by UT was another fine example of what the 3 man rush gives you….All day for receivers to run down the field, and all day for QB to wait…scan the field, get a running start, and lob the perfect jump ball.

AM is a DGD but he blocked me on twitter for simply replying to him picking Miss (or was it Miss St) last year against the Dawgs and I simply said “How could you do this??”….. blocked. That’s soy juice in the veins right there.

I hate hate hate prevent D. It burned us there (although they could have easily knocked the ball down, and R. Drew was held so so so bad on that play) and against Dobbs.
