Well, it was not an understatement when we said before the game that it was the biggest in Richt's career. Of course, Kiffin made the usual idiot of himself by proclaiming that the Vols would never lose to UGA while he as the coach at UT. Ummm, Coach, you do know you don't get to play us in Neyland every year…and you do that Eric Berry's eligibility will eventually run out…and you do that you're younger than Willie Martinez, so he'll at least die before you do if you both end up staying there a while. Really, I can't see any redeeming thoughts about making a statement like that. It makes no sense. Of course, he makes little sense. Say you're making UGA the biggest game. Say you plan on creating a new biggest rival. Say you plan on giving UGA your best shot. But don't say that you're actually going to beat them every year, because you're not. And…he overestimates winning in recruiting. It has very little to do that. If he were a smart man, he'd make Florida the biggest game because winning the east will get you the best/most recruits. But I digress. He was the victor, for sure, yesterday and to the victors go the spoils.
Nothing we haven't said about Richt can really be said. The Senator sums it up perfectly: http://blutarsky.wordpress.com/. The fact that Blair leads the conference in touchbacks is staggering. It's like having a clean-up hitter leading the division in home runs and asking him to bunt half the time. This one's going to sting for a while, that's for sure, but it has to have revealed basically every ugly problem w/ the program. To be honest, I don't know if he wants to fix it or cares to fix it. Richt looks like he doesn't care anymore and is being Donnan-esque w/ the media. If that's the way it's going to be, I'll help him pack the truck because the least he can do is be a witness for Jesus…and he's not doing a very good job at that as well when he's curt w/ the fans and media. So, from where I sit. I hope he can fix it. I just don't know if he can. Assuming the wheels don't come completely, he deserves that shot.
As crazy as it sounds. I'm on the Aaron Murray bandwagon (or at least Logan), but I don't think Logan is going to be our QB next year. We need someone who can make some plays w/ their feet. What I'm certain of is that Aaron can throw 10 picks in 6 games just as well as Joe can. It's not that Joe's inadequate like JTIII was. It's just we're not getting the payoff of having a 5th year senior. If we're going to throw picks and spike the ball w/ :01 left…heck, the least we can do is play the more talented kid and get ready to make a run in 2010 and 2011. That's where I am.
Bottom lines:
-Willie has to go, probably along w/ our entire defensive staff
-Bobo has to get demonstratively better
-We need to play the younger QBs because we can't get worse offensively
-Richt needs to be a strong willed gentleman instead of a weak willed prick
I fear that no matter what, the bigger concern is that Richt has completely lost this team and program and the kids just aren't listening anymore.But, this is what separates the hangers on and the real fans. Let's be the real fans.
