Should we settle on a villain or just let 'er rip?

Here are our lead candidates for #1 villain, the one most responsible for the failures of our 2024 SEC Championship team (irony intended):

A. Mike Bobo
B. Stacy Searels
C. Carson Beck
D. the wide receivers
E. the offensive line

OBVIOUSLY, the answer is a combination of these. We know that.

But if you had to pick a #1 villain, which would you pick?

For the record, I'm going with B.

My biggest pet peeve on this forum...

Are all the moroons that don't understand the current state of fairs. Let me lay it all out for you with the facts:

Daemon Wilson made a huge mistake leaving.

Gunnar Stocktown is a damn hero. Anyone who drives a Forde truck should never be questioned!

NIL and transfor portal are OUT OF CONTROL! Ruining the sport. Georgia should get rid of all that crap and only get players who love the G. Players don't deserve a dime; they get intuition!

Kirbee Smart is pissing away all the goodwill & success he's gained by not firing coach Bohbow and coach Cirehls. Inforgivable!

Social media should never have been invented. More harm than good to society.

I'm so sick of all the that bombastic drum music kids listen to these days. Samford Stadium should only ever play country music.

If we play our A game vs ND, I think we win……

a tough, hard-fought game, but not a runaway game. We have to remember that we are playing our backup quarterback who has very little experience. We automatically assume that he will play a good game, when in reality, he might struggle a bit. I think KS and CMB will scale back our offense with Gunner to help ensure that his mistakes are minimal. I think we’ll see more quarterback runs with Gunner. If Notre Dame plays a good game and Gunner struggles with interceptions, etc, not to mention the possibility of an injury, we could very well lose this game. Hoping for the best and a UGA victory. Go Dawgs! Your thoughts?

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.

Reflecting on Beck's path (in general terms)

Though it seems like a distant memory, I recall when Beck was hailed as a model of “what college football should be about” when he returned to UGA after riding the pines for two years behind Stetson. His willingness to “wait his turn” was widely applauded – and not just by the UGA fanbase in the 2023 season. He was quoted as “wanting to win my own championship” (as QB1).

That seems like lightyears ago, with the advancement of NIL/portal conditions at the speed of sound. Transferring is almost expected (by some) to advance in their careers and bank accounts. ¾ of playoff semifinalists had transfer QB1s. I don’t fault Beck entirely. We don’t know what he was being told by staff, personal and NFL advisors, and suitors from other programs. I wish him well as he heals physically and moves on in his career, though I would have preferred he return to UGA if his future included one more healthy year under center. His college football career will be an interesting case study, with so many different factors affecting his decision-making and playing time.

For those of you that go to most of the games

I hope you guys will look back on the memories we got to make this year fondly. I was fortunate enough to attend 11 of the 14 this year. Wasn’t able to make it up to Kentucky and missed the Auburn and UMass games.

Seems like forever ago I was sitting in the Benz with my wife and kids and watching us beat down Clemson. I’ll cherish the memories of beating Clemson, the Gators, Tennessee and that beautiful victory in Austin, TX.

Sure, attending the losses in Oxford, Tuscaloosa and the Sugar Bowl hurt. Although, I have to admit, I left at halftime of the Bama game. I’ll always remember Scott’s call of Beck to Bell late to give us the lead. Me and my buddy were high fiving and yelling in the car doing ridiculous speeds on I-20 headed home. Oh the woulda, coulda, shouldas there.

But I’ll always have December 7. I loved our team’s resilience that night. Losing Beck only to be saved by Stockton and Etienne’s heroics was epic. Beck making that final play handoff was like a storybook. Wrapping the night on my couch watching the end of the SMU-Clemson game that essentially put the nail in Bama’s coffin was the cherry on top. That was a top 5 day in Dawg history for me just because of how much fun I was having winning an SEC Championship and planning a trip to New Orleans.

I hope you guys are able to look back on this season as fondly as I do, even in the wake of yesterday’s heartbreak. There’s nothing that beats a trip with family or friends to see the Dawgs and this year provided some great moments.

Go Dawgs!

Typical

Crying from the same people every year and yet there’s Georgia winning another SECCG and competing for natties. I guess the game has passed ol kirbs by. I mean we only have the two seed and finished in the top five in recruiting again. 😔 I’m sure Kirby will get nothing from the portal and just let us get our pants pulled down again because that’s all he does is lose…..😩 idk if I can even have a merry Christmas I’m so upset from all the losing the UGA football program does.

some of yall need to put your phone down and go enjoy time with your families goodness
