This ranks right up there with Dooley talking about the opposing long snappah.
On playing to a standard, if there was anything in the first quarter that wasn’t up to the standard…
“Kickoffs, to be honest, we didn’t kick it off like my expectation is. Maybe if we kick it out of the end zone, we don’t get a turnover, so maybe (Jake) Camarda’s a lot smarter than me because we got a fumble off of the kickoff that wasn’t a touchback. I guess I need to commend him for that because he was thinking way ahead. I was a little upset it wasn’t out of the end zone, but he knew more than I knew and that ended up turning into seven points.”
That’s as close as Smart will ever get to babbling. Maybe next time he should stick to “Dunno. I’ll have to check the game tape”.
Get The Picture 
The kickoffs and punts did leave a bit to be desired. I’m wondering if Camarda was told by Muschamp to gear back on kickoffs because they knew he was going to be doing it a lot.

This team needs a real challenge before the rat poison sets in and we go to Jacksonville. Fortunately, a challenge may be in Athens this Saturday.

The games leading up to Florida should benefit them as long as injuries don’t start piling up. All three are physical in a way nobody but Clemson’s defense has been, and none of them are actually good enough to win the game or come particularly close.

Sure, but the intensity isn’t the same, and you never know how the team will respond to getting hit in the mouth live until it happens. And for the defense especially, they haven’t faced an offensive line that poses any kind of challenge yet.

I know last year the Kentucky game left a lot of the starting defense hurting going into Jacksonville. Staying healthy these next four games is my biggest concern.

Gatriguy was “That Guy” who called Camarda out yesterday at 3:14. Jake needs to get his shit together before noon Saturday. In his defense, he has been damn good this season.

Was TAMU’s LT one of the freshman starting b/c the guy ahead of him got injured? Either way, not worried about the OL’s pass pro. Broderick Jones played well vs. Vandy. He and Mims are gaining confidence. Ditto Willock. Losing Rat was big, but the OL is only gonna get buttah. Arky better enjoy the W ’cause they got an L coming on Saturday and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

There are several players on our roster who are pretty hard to criticize. Camarda is one of them. He had a sub par game. Don’t be such a smart ass Kirby.

When I was 9 years old I thought my brain was rattling around in my skull with every hit on my helmet at football practice. I suffered another thirty years before Horndog Hans offered a Claritin. I don’t know what I’m allergic to, but as I’ve grown older I find the symptoms occur more frequently. Consuming local honey may help, but Zyrtec provides relief.

Love me some Tupelo honey, Devil Dawg. At Albertson’s grocery store in Hogtown, Florida I put an $8 one lb jar of Tupelo honey in my cart and moseyed on down the aisle. There was a two and a half lb jar labeled simply HONEY for $8 also. Looked like Tupelo so I took a no risk chance. To my delight it was Tupelo honey.
I reckon it was excess that was put out for sale but not to compete with the brand name. Little pleasures and victories, man. I’m sure you know what I mean.

A less sensitive person than me might say all those shots to the head as a 9 yo might splain a few things. But seriously, have you ever paid a visit to an allergist? I’ve never had allergy problems but they have helped several friends of mine.
And yes, it’s great to be a Georgia Bulldog!

I appreciate the advice, Gurkhadawg. I know folks that require an allergist; however, over-the-counter meds work fine for my sniveling, whiny ass for now.
As far as the shots to the head? Too many concussions to count. More than twenty and less than fifty. Football, boxing, martial arts, brawling and Yog Sothoth knows what else. Symptoms began to manifest enough that I relinquished my chosen occupation. I’m doing just fine. No one else seemed to notice.

Well damn Ranger, I didn’t mean to make light of a real medical issue. You have my sincere apology. I’ve had a few concussions myself. No symptoms so far. Both knees, both ankles and one shoulder are pretty much shot. We all have to adjust our physical activity to accommodate the ravages of time and our sometimes questionable choices. But what the hell are ya gonna do?

Aww shit, GD, no offense taken and no apology necessary. I’m not even sure what I have is a condition other than the actual ravages of time. I’ve been working too many hours for too damn long and my profession doesn’t lend itself to even small mistakes. YOU know what I mean.
It’s a helluva thing being self-employed as Rigger92 stated earlier. When I was a corporate Man I had plenty of paid time off, traveled to fishing and diving destinations in exotic places, met interesting people and wasn’t expected to kill them like my previous job.
Working for myself? I was a one man band. Diligence was rewarded with client loyalty. But it was time to go. Not a decision I made lightly.
