Our Fans

I am AMAZED at the people who want to blow it all up after a bad day in Jax.

Our secondary would look at lot better with Marshall, Chris Sanders, JHC, & Matthews.  Swann might come off the bench or be the nickel guy.  We had a bad group.  The Dream Team had some bad apples, to say the least.

Malcolm has had unbelievable bad luck, and what has happened during Todd's career is, well, crazy.  

Right now, we are ranked #3 in recruiting rankings for 2015.  Florida is #61, just behind Western Michigan.  I'd rather have beaten them like a ragdoll, but if Muschamp stays, Foley is nuts.  He can't recruit or coach.  He can build a D, but that's about it.  We are already #9 for 2016, but we will possibly move up to #1.  Eason will probably grow into the #1 recruit in America, and we're signing a stud left tackle to protect him.  Pruitt has changed our recruiting culture, and that's what matters.

Saban is really a terrible gameday coach.  They make a lot of mistakes, but their talent takes over.  That's the story for most teams.  Players win games.  We need more players.  We were pretty doggone good in 2012 because of JJ, Murray and Gurley.  That's a lethal trio.  People are dumb.  The internet is just proving it.

Boy, what I'd give to sneak in this thing with 2 losses and run roughshod over everyone.  I said I wanted to go to NOLA the first round.  Well, if we go, we're going as the #4 seed.  We might control beating the SEC west champ.  If FSU rolls, their #1 and host us in NOLA.  Oregon vs. Big 12 champ in Rose.  We probably want FSU to lose just for chaos' sake.  Still, that'd be sweet.
  • Win out
  • Mizzou loss
  • Boy, it'd be great if that Big 10 champ had 2 losses.  MSU/OSU this week.  Would help if Wisky beat Nebraska, then that division beat the MSU/OSU winner.
  • Notre Dame loss
  • Pac 12 has Oregon & ASU at 1-loss in opposite divisions.  Interestingly, ND plays ASU.  ASU could lose that, then beat Oregon to win that conference.
  • K-State is 5-0 in league play, but still is @ TCU, @ WVU & @ Baylor.  We need them to win one of those against TCU or Baylor.  That Auburn loss could prove huge because they could win that league with 1-loss but have 2 losses, the other a home loss to a team we beat.
  • Baylor is at OU this week.  They still have OSU, TT, and K-State as well.  That OU game is one to watch.
It's going to be fascinating.  What if Clemson continues to slowly climb the polls.  Sooner or later, everyone is going to have 2-3 losses, and they could only have 2.  Or what if Tech handles clemson and comes to Athens at 9-2 and ranked about 12th?

There is A LOT of football to play.  Win the one in front of you.  All you can do.  Someone has to lose each week.  It can't be us now.  I said when it came out that the playoffs would be kind to Mark Richt.  For whatever reason, we haven't seemed to get the luck.  The 13-1 season that got no bones for a natty, DJ's injury at 7-0, the fiasco in 2007, and the tipped pass in 2012.  Heck, even the injuries last year in a season we could have easily won the SEC at 12-1 if we'd have stayed healthy.  But, 13-0 isn't necessary anymore.  It just isn't.  Essentially, pull for anyone outside our conference that has 1 loss to lose.  And we probably want Miss. St. to look absolutely dominant the rest of the way, then stone them in ATL.

I said it in 2011 and was thinking it at hafltime,  "With the way LSU has dominated this season and the national love, what if we keep rolling in this 2nd half?"  Do they really, really, really put LSU or Bama in above us?  Back then, it was computers.  It's not now.  It's humans saying, "we think the champion should go."


And I'm not the only one who sees it that way…
