From the Waterboy, Townie Vol:
Vol member since 2021: It’s never as bad as VolNation thinks.
"Don't read Vol boards, Just post on them" Vol: No one said we would be contenders in 2023. We were supposed to only win six games last year. May seven or eight this year. 2022 we played way above our abilities and we all expected the same this year. We must get back to reality. It will take a few more years of top 5 recruiting to be a consistent contender. You will now begin to see our 4 and 5 Star commitments reopen their recruitment as we slide down the slippery slope of mediocrity.
"In 15 years, I'll need a new commemorative Vol coffee table book" Vol: Damn. 1 year of greatness followed by 15 years of suckage is not a good pattern. I hope I'm still alive when we have a great year again 🤞
Cryogenically frozen, then thawed Vol from the early 2000s: A transition year at Tennessee is 9-3 with 8-4 being the absolute worst on rare occasion.
"Saban can't cut the mustard" Gump:
This isn't one of those "Saban needs to go" threads.
It is however one of those pointing out the blindly obvious. He doesn't have the same expectations and it's clear to anyone watching.
Is he worried about the portal and NIL? Players leaving if he rides their arse like he did just a few years ago?
Is he worried about this generation's snowflake mentality?
Did grandkids make him soft?
Do we just suck that bad?
I don't know what it is but something is damn sure different.
"Saban is Michael Meyers" Gump:
I was going to say, this may be a "careful what you wish for" moment for a lot of people on this board.
I heard a lot of similar things over the years. Saban was washed after the 2018 title game and then not making the playoffs the next season. Then he came back with one of the best teams he ever fielded in 2020. He was done after the A&M loss and close Iron Bowl win the next year. Blew out UGA and made the title game again.
I'm weirdly optimistic, and won't believe Saban is ready to hang it up until he does.
Heresy Gump: Saban needs to retire at the end of the year. He is a net negative to the program now.
Cock asks the board "What happened at halftime at Georgia?"
Eyewitness Cock: They came back out and absolutely ran over us. And we played like ****.
The reason Shane celebrated the halftime victory Cock:
Beamer called it before the game in a pregame interview talking to CBS how UGA makes better halftime adjustments then anyone else.
"Did you see that wink?" Cock: There did not seem to be a bit of concern in that Georgia locker room at halftime
Face it we suck again
No online, no secondary, no qb…. This ways always going to be a transition year, I just hoped it would be a return to dumpster fire status, but ya thats no the case. You’re welcome Billy.Vol member since 2021: It’s never as bad as VolNation thinks.
