It is odd but walking out of the Superdome last night I didn’t feel nearly as upset/disappointed as I did leaving MBS after the SECCG last year. Last year it felt like we were truly the best team in the country and I’ll forever believe that A) we should have still been in the CFP and B) we would have won the National Championship if we had made it so when we lost that game I knew we had likely just lost a championship. But this year didn’t feel like that..
Did I think we could potentially out talent ND and Penn State and somehow find ourselves in the National Championship game in Atlanta where we would just need one magical performance in our own backyard to win? Yes, absolutely. This team showed the heart of a champion all year and I wasn’t going to rule them out until they were finally knocked out but last night they were. We can all agree this wasn’t our most talented team though and I think that’s why the ‘hurt’ from last night isn’t nearly as strong as last year.
The next 2-4 weeks will be very important for the future of the Georgia program as we have areas we absolutely need to address but for now, I’ll still appreciate having watched this group win an SEC Championship and give us multiple classic games and comebacks. It’s still GREAT to be a Dawg and there is nobody else I would rather have be our HC than Kirby Smart. This isn’t the last you will hear of Georgia.. GATA!!
