Some Vandy/Bama stats

- Bama trailed the whole game, first time in 5 years (LSU 2019)
- Saban gave up 40+ 13 times, once to an unranked team (Tex A&M 2022). Took DeBoer 6 games
- Vandy scored 13 COMBINED vs Saban/Bama (4 games). They had 13 in 1st Q today
- Vandy now 1-60 vs AP top 5
- Vandy had over 40 min of TOP, out gained and out rushed Bama. 12/18 3rd conversions

Never thought I would see the day when Vandy beats #1 Alabama. Credit to them for believing and executing all the way through to the end. Just an incredible performance. This is why college football is so awesome.

Today was a pitiful performance by our fans.

Just returned from Athens.
I was shocked with the lackadaisical disinterest from today’s home crowd. A team that has lost one regular season game in the past 43 deserves a helluva lot better than that. It feels like we’ve become an entitled fan base…and judge our interest based on the point spread. I’m hoping we return to form for the other Bulldogs next Saturday.

Auburn: A 2nd & Long Report

2nd & Long definition: 7 or more yards to go on second down.

There are a few subjects in the world that can really make a good chunk of the vent just sort of seizure post through having wild seizures. A happy cross section of those topics involves UGA's OC: Mike Bobo, and 2nd & long playcalls. There's a belief, going back to Bobo's previous stint as OC, that UGA "always ran" on 2nd & long. Values of "always" tended to vary from one poster to another. In addition to being "too much" i was generally "some large amount of time that doesn't make sense according to the feelings of the individual ranting".

It was never true that Bobo (or even Richt before him, as some complained), "always ran on 2nd & long". This thread is simply to chart the latest game and show that. It is neither a defense of, nor an indictment of, Mike Bobo.

It's just what actually happened.

I counted seven 2nd & long plays. 3 runs, 4 passes. Two of the runs were success plays ("success" is defined as getting 50% of the yards to go on 1st down, 70% on 2nd down, and 100% on 3rd and 4th down).

It was, for whatever reason, 3 straight 2nd & Longs (but that spawn covered several quarters). I believe we did the same thing during a 1h stretch against Clemson.

Edit: missed a 2nd & 10 run to branson for a yard later in the game., and a 2nd & 10 incomplete on that same drive (the last drive).

Next weekend...some sneaky good games

SC at Bama... Very surprised SC got whipped at home today but which loser steps up?

Tenn vs Fla (their bama)

Texas vs Ok (now sec teams but this is their biggest game of the year to their fans minus the tx Tex AM game)

LSU vs ole miss (someone is eliminated from playoff imo)

Vandy vs Kentucky....I just don't even know what to say except that the winner is probably the real threat for future opponents imo

I really don’t know what our OC is doing.

Watching ALOT of other football lately, I can see a plan the good ones. How long has it been since we ran an arrow route with our rb, a wheel route etc. Our OC is a fraud and bringing the entire team down with him. If we don’t make a change in the off season I’ll be very disappointed. Yes we have defensive assistant problems and of course Searles, but Bobo is pure ass. I haven’t seen anything this year that shows me he has a real plan. It’s run, run, low percentage pass down the sideline. Seriously like my 8 year olds playing NCAA.

In the latest installment of Where Are They Now......

A while back I asked about @George Hayduke who hasn't posted since late January. And now, how about @WRobinsDawg who hasn't posted since the first of March. Both guys were pretty frequent posters and I don't remember them leaving in a huff.

What other formerly frequent posters have gone AWOL?
