All fair points. Although I don't think the pass interference really had an impact on the outcome. The personal foul might have though.

Like I mentioned above, we have to figure out how to get our defensive calls in more quickly. At one point, McCullers was still looking to the sideline when the ball was snapped.

i thought the PI was huge from a momentum aspect and just the fact that they got 7 (I think) downs from inside the 10 instead of having 3rd and 10...i thought it was more discouraging because i really didnt see any contact from where i was sitting

You might be right. I definitely think it was a bad call, but I remember thinking it probably wasn't a game changer. Then again, the euphoria of the whole situation has left my brain a little fuzzy on the details and I haven't had a chance to watch the replay yet. :)

If I called someone an idiot, then I owe them an apology. Link?



That was my point. I was asking what your point was.




I need to go back and read the original post, or maybe you do, because I don't think that's what I read.

Why can't you discuss it? I'll discuss it with you right now.

I agree that: UGA's running game gashed us all night and it was, in fact their third string guy, doing it. Their offense looked much more physical running the football than did our defense. I'm honestly surprised they didn't run it more at times, but you can't argue with putting the ball in Murray's hands either.

The slant routes were a huge issue earlier. I'm not really sure what to say about it. Like you, I noticed it. I think it's partly due to some of our inherent weaknesses on defense, although we seemed to do a better job in the second half. What's your take?

I'll have to go back and look at where you're referencing with our linebackers, but if I understand you correctly, I think I noticed the same thing at Florida. I might be able to offer more insight once I've had a chance to watch the replay. Again, what's your take? Do you see this as a fundamental issue with the defensive scheme or missed assignments?

While we're on defense, I'll offer another critique. Our staff still needs to do a better job getting the plays in from the sidelines. I noticed it happening again yesterday. This is a bit concerning because it's a recurring issue not that we've had issues with since Oregon.

On the last drive, they had a senior quarterback who's one of the best in the league, at the helm. You have to like his chances in that situation, against anyone, not just us. At the time, I thought to myself that we needed an interception or at least a sack to stop them, but we weren't able to get either. Obviously the pass to the tailback to the sidelines killed us, and again, it's that sideline speed that continues to rear it's ugly head and present problems week after week.

Your turn.

My point with inviting the guy for a beer was that most people are much more cordial in person and that its real easy to be a jerk on a forum. We literally live within 10 miles of each other and if he rides, then we probably know each other anyway. It would be one of those "hey man I know you, lets have a beer and talk football". Take it for what its worth.

I wasn't suggesting that you called anyone an idiot.

Yes, the title of this thread could have been better worded and I probably let my emotions dictate what I stated. I was dam disappointed in the first half and what I thought was some real suspect calls by the staff. My bad. But is that really a justification for all the BS that went on in this thread? I mean if someone doesn't agree with something stated why not post a retort or opposing point? Or not post anything at all. The personal attacks get old.

I was watching the game with my wife and she's not the best to talk about football to. Thought I would jump on here and vent a little bit because I figured there were a few out there that were seeing what I was seeing.

The personal attacks do get old. I'm not arguing that point, but I fail to see any in this thread. Enlighten me.

The same way you "vent", people may "vent" back if they disagree.

Anyway, I posted my responses to your critiques above if you're interested in discussing them further.

FLSTF it is obvious from your post history that you like to be combative and negative and when challenged try and find a way to escape without really admitting you were wrong. There are other more productive ways To Vent. Your dog or cat will be more forgiving.

No, no, no... By all means please keep making these threads. Without them it's harder to tell who dingbats are.

Coach Jones talks a very good game, says all the right things etc. But I gotta say that today some of the decisions that this staff has made has me scratching my head.

The normal excuses that most use to defend the staff aren't gonna work today.

The adjustments that are made at the half will be telling. We have an outside chance here.

Really the only thing you can do with that slant is to play press coverage and jump the route. But you gotta take that chance at some point or they will continue to hit it.

Yes, Florida ran the same play. Unbalanced to the wide side and ran the play to the boundary. We had everyone flowing to the unbalanced side and left the boundary open. By the time the OLB could react it was to late. You gotta play the weak side inside out with the OLB. Its recognition and making sure the defense is called correctly. I think Florida scored on the same play.

Yeah, I was telling my wife that Murray had to much time left. But you gotta cover that back outta the back field. No way that he should get away like that.

Gary Danielson said a UGA players helmet had come off,but it was so far from the play,TV didn't show it,and they never showed a replay...And I said PI penalty earlier,but meant the PF penalty along with the phantom PI call... so I don't know if it was an Illegal hands to the face,or he ripped it off or if it was BS...

maybe someone else saw it and can clarify

This game was never on the must win list. I thought he made some risky calls that had positive results. The last three games are must wins to reach his expected number of wins. It is very positive to see his coached team not rolling over as in the past few years.

As Freak has said, running a board, especially when done voluntarily is one heck of a thankless job. For any of us who don’t fully understand that, kindly allow me to share something.

I used to run a bulletin board system (BBS) on FidoNet board. That was back in the days before the Internet became what it is today. I had to buy my own computer dedicated to that BBS as opposed for my daily and regular use. So that was two computers. The BBS had to run 24/7 so of course this added to my electric bill. Plus the fact I had to keep the room it was in cool because I lived in Arizona, and well, heat kills electronics. So that added to my electric bill too. I imagine board owners face the same thing.

In my own roaming of FidoNet, I saw many different BBS’. Some existed to provide very useful and helpful information. Some catered to special groups like pilots, lawyers, game players, you name it, it was there. Some were set up by people who just wanted to feel omnipotent and boss around users. Those BBS often didn’t last long as people just left. Bu some hung around because users and the owner both liked hurling insults and threats at each other.

I and many other BBS owners tended to cut out access after 2-3 messages (as we called them or echomail if files are attached) that were disruptive. You could even block out a caller so they couldn’t log back in because you used a phone line back then. Get a savvy node operator willing to put in such time and you could block certain access points, though even this wasn’t fool proof. Most users were too uninformed about such things to circumvent it.

VN, I have seen a fair number of incidents where Freak would be justified in denying access. Yet didn’t. Just posted a “request” to basically cease and desist. Or sent a cautionary email That includes myself when I’ve gone half-cocked, full-cocked, or just plain -cocked. In other words, abused the privilege of using the board. Obviously, Freak has shown no desire to lord it over anybody. And I’ve seen self-made lords. Some who are cosmic jerks. You have no idea how lucky we have it with Freak as boss moderator.

Now, the following advice applies to me maybe even more than some here. Cause I get darned peeved at times, especially when it comes to folks badmouthing our players and even former players. But being able to discuss, argue, even disagree without making threats, issuing post after post of insults makes sense. Setting fire to a host’s home doesn’t make any sense. Knowutimen?

Just curious. Why do you think seeing you in person would change my opinion of the stupid way you have acted on here and keep me from saying it?
