Can we retire this one for good?

Since people talked and re-talked about it for weeks, let's bring it up again the morning after the game.

There was a HUGE number of folks on this site that somehow had convinced themselves that the Dawgs were going to play better now that Gunner Stockton was QB because the team liked him more. I said it after the SECC that backup QBs often succeed when they come into the middle of the game and can cause a spark for that game. However, it doesn't generally continue after that because, well, they're the backup for a reason. (and Gunner played pretty well last night)

Other things that stand out to me...
  • We had 1 TFL. That's absurd.
  • We held Leonard to 90 passing yards.
  • We still can't catch the ball.
Finally, Mike Bobo orchestrated an offense that finished 120th in the nation in 1st quarter scoring. In our last 3 games, we averaged 2 points in the 1st quarter. We also finished 99th in the nation in 1st half scoring on the season.

Hot take: the SEC wasn’t great this year, and might not have even been the best conference.

The fact that we were the best of the conference despite all the holes on our roster says a lot. I’ve never said this before, but I don’t think the SEC was the best conference in CFB this year. It’s looking likely we could be in for an all Big 10 title game. I think the Big 10 was overall a little deeper than the SEC this season. Just a lot of mediocrity within the conference. And even the best teams have struggled in the post-season.

Coaching lost this game. Not Gunner. Not the kid in his jersey in the refs way.

Take the knee into the half and you're only down by 3 points.

Terrible Game Plan with 26 days to prepare.

Granted it's hard to win a playoff game with a guy making his first start at QB. It's not about just his play.

Credit to Notre Dame. They played physical on defense and was able to slow the Georgia run game down.

NIL question

I don’t know a lot about NIL but I know UGA has put tons of guys in the NFL. And a few golfers haven’t done too bad either. Many of them made major money (not all). Can they create a NIL group of former football players/athletes to give each year what they can-I’m talking only the guys who can afford it and were superstars. Then give them something in return. Recognize them at games or something. It’s a shame NIL can’t be a tax deduction or it would be easier to get those guys to contribute. We need to get creative. We don’t have the founder of Microsoft etc as an alum.
And LETS BRING HINES WARD HOME!!

Time to pay the big uglies the big bucks

We need a good O line across the board. Some weak spots have cost us this year. Cost Beck his elbow and left us near the bottom of SEC in rushing. Can’t protect the QB or run block consistently. You can have all the skill players in the world but without a good line, they don’t play well. No idea in this world of NIL what they pay them but get some good ones and pay them until the NCAA comes to its senses re NIL.

Portal busts

We kinda whiffed on all of our “big” portal additions on offense and it really killed us.

Yorosek - Got a little better as the season progressed but never became good enough, missed blocks & drops

Colby - Suspension

Humphreys - okay depth addition but had some crucial bad drops

ETN - Super inconsistent but overall the best out of the bunch


Might explain our lack of activity this go round, but I would hope we start adding some proven oline and Wr’s…

Bourbon Fueled Thoughts

I will not send another dime to CCC if Bobo, Searls, Williams, and Coley are on staff next season.

NOT ANOTHER DIME. So help me God, I'll send money to Gainesville before I give these ass clowns another dime.

And VENT STAFF - Don't you dare send another shade throwing tweet about Bobo being the right choice. I watched you all take those subliminal shots towards fans all year on X. You all can kiss my hindend with that. Do not claim to be an objective reporter if you refuse to call out the serious malfunctions with this offense. I am tired of being gaslit by people I give money too monthly. Its like dating my ex all over again. Screw program access. Not calling things out for what they are is exactly how we ended up with a corpse in the Oval Office.

Also, KIRBY, you just got outcoached by Marcus Freeman who had less talent than you. Not another word about elite, better never rests, eat off the floor, etc. Take your bowl cut combover, visor wearing ass on somewhere else with that shit. That dude, with less time to prep, outclassed you ALL NIGHT LONG.

Thank you to the seniors who left blood, sweat, and tears on the line for this University I love so much. Your sacrifices are not lost on me, and I am grateful for all you have done for our beloved program. I am sorry that our coaches let you down, because your effort certainly did not let me down.

This was brought to you by the big bottle of bourbon.

FIRE BOBO, WILLIAMS, SEARLS, AND COLEY NOW.

Go Dawgs.

Kirby’s Post game talking about his appreciation for 11 and 69 is what makes legendary coaches

Because he understands that relationships with our players pays off in the future. But being genuine about it and see the love most of the players have for him is what championship programs are built on.

He loves his dudes and they love their coach. We have warts and honestly lacked the talent we had in 21-23 and a few coaching spots probably need an upgrade.

I have trust that Kirby already knows where we are lacking and he will make the proper changes. Patience.
