If it hadn’t have been for that damned crowd…
… Tennessee could’ve been a contendah, I tells ‘ya!
If they get a rematch with the Dawgs, I hope it’s in the Peach Bowl.

Quote Of The Day
-
“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

I think it’s more insidious than that. I think they know that they were over-hyped and exposed, but they don’t want to let the public realize it. This is gaslighting at its finest.

I just watched this, and I watched Heupel’s post game and coach’s show, and I gotta say, they all look like they don’t have any idea what hit them. This guy especially sounds like someone who just got his ass handed to him when he thought his opponent was going to roll over.

If you are still dissecting last week’s corpse a few days from an SEC game with a noon start, you might sleepwalk yourself out of playoff contention. It’s also going to be 50* on Saturday, and the field may still be wet from the tropical storm coming through on Friday.

Yep. Ask Dino Babers. So much hype leading up the undefeated ‘Cuse/Clemson game, lots of dwelling on that agonizing loss and getting asked about it over and over, and then went and got handled by Notre Dame in the Dome (and then just lost their third in a row to Pitt). 6-0 start may well turn out to be a 7-5 season if they lose to FSU and Wake the next two weeks. As you said cpa, your last game is a corpse (win or lose). By Monday you have to put that behind you and get refocused.

Sounds like a UTjr. coach. Anybody else notice how is it always never Heupel; it’s we didn’t execute. It is never, we got out coached. I’m beginning to dislike this coaching staff almost as much as their fan base. Pricks…

I reeaallllyy hope the Vols win out, but get left out of the Top 4. Not because I have trepidation about facing them again, but because seeing that fan base lose their minds over it would be so enjoyable to watch. Better yet, I hope it is Oregon who gets in over them.

I just posted this here under another post, but I hope that TCU wins out and the Ohio State/Michigan is an instant classic and both B1G teams get in so that UT goes to a meaningless post-season exhibition game with opt-outs and realizes that in 2023 UT is going to be a far different team when Hooker is gone, Cedric Tillman is likely gone, Omari Thomas is gone, Jalin Hyatt is likely gone, and several other starters are either done or are eligible to enter the draft.

Our defensive Jimmies beat their offensive Joes and Xs and Os – I don’t think it was necessarily our defensive scheme, its the fact that most teams lack effective personnel (particularly in the secondary) to hang with their Xs and Os for 60 whole minutes. The defensive performance from the start of the second half through the pretty meaningless TD drive was relentless (it was great in the first half too, but just went to another level after halftime)….

Zach’s tweets have been popping up on my TL as well. This was my response to that one:
In 120 minutes of football against UGA, this coaching staff’s brilliant scheme has been whipped pretty soundly, regardless of venue and weather.
But blame the kids. That’s what ya gotta do.
All he has to say is “we aren’t there yet. We thought we were. We are not.”
Thought that was fairly succinct. Follow me for more arrogance.
Go Dawgs.

Kirby will tell you UT has a good scheme and good players. That’s why he spent extra time preparing for them.
Their players didn’t execute because the moment was too big and their coaches didn’t have a schematic answer for when an opponent is physically able to match up with you.

Reductio ad absurdum.
Of UTs 11 drives, 6 had NO false start penalties yet still failed to score any points. Zero. Nada. Nil. Zilch.
Only 3 UT drives failed to convert a 1st down after getting a false start. On two of those, UT still scored FGs.
Let’s assume an alternate reality where UT scores TDs on all 3 drives negatively impacted by false starts. That is a max difference of 15 points (21 vs the 6 they did score).
Let’s also assume an alternate reality where UGA’s offense has the same exact result, and assume that in no way did UGA choose to play conservative (insert eyeroll). UGA still finds itself with a 1st down on the UT 25 with a minute in the game and well within field goal range.
Even in this coach’s UT fairyland, the results is a 2 point UT loss.
UT Drive Summary
1st Drive: 1 False Start – Drive ended in FG – max difference = 4 points.
2nd Drive: 1 False Start- Drive ended in punt – max difference = 7 points.
3rd Drive: No false starts – Drive ended in punt
4th Drive: No false starts – Drive ended in punt
5th Drive: 2 False starts – Drive (aided by 2 UGA PIs) ended in FG – max difference = 4 points
6th Drive: No false starts – Drive ended in interception
7th Drive: No false starts – Drive ended in punt
8th Drive: No false starts – Drive ended in fumble
9th Drive: 3 False Starts – False Start #1 overcome with a 1st down, False starts #2&3 overcome with a 1st down via UGA penalty (facemask) – drive ends in turnover on downs
10th Drive: UT Touchdown
11th Drive: No false starts – drive ends in turnover on downs

Totally agree! Those pre snap penalties left Hooker on his back all day long. And did you see those pre snap penalties that caused our receivers to make big plays? crazy right? Oh, and don’t get me started on that pre snap penalty that drove that punt right down to the half yard line where the following pre snap penalty led to a safety that wasn’t real but really was. Whew glad they didn’t call that!

Tell us something we don’t know, Mr conventional urngedum.
Public comments by coaches like this are exactly how programs fall hard & fast.
So you didn’t practice for enough, which was not really good coaching. But if you could hear a pin drop in the stadium, their oline wasn’t stopping Carter, he’s a really good football player. And the punt by Hot Pod was affected by UTs presnap penalty.
And the 3 TDs we score in the 1st half, was only due to UT affected by noise issues.
Bye bye felicia, really hope u don’t make the playoffs. But I do hope ncaa changes the gimmicky ass substitution rule UT is living off of, sooner than later.
