Hagler got screwed in a couple early fights so he was past his prime

The mid 70's to early 90's was a glorious boxing era. I watched old fights as a kid, many excellent fighters and boxers from that era. I'd argue it was the best.


Edit to add:

Wrestling too

We usually hop the Red Hook ferry and beat the later excursion crowds over to St John and go to Virgin Islands National Park which is beautiful and vastly less hectic...but I think we are gonna stay on St Thomas and just go sight seeing around the island this time.

Sack leader doesn’t necessarily mean they have the best pass rush though. We have a better pass rush than Ole Miss based off pressure rate with the DLine only. And we can all agree, our DLine gets illegally held more than any other team’s.

I personally don’t think UGA will score more than 20 unless we gift them points. Their offense is NOT better than Bama’s. Probably not even better than FLA’s when they had Graham Mertz and a healthy DJ Lagway.

Yes it's hard to quantify pressure vs pressure without sacks, but sacks are a known. Their front 4 creates the most sacks without a pass rush by far the most. Not close. They wrecked UGA both pass rush and held them to nothing on the ground, just total domination.

Not sure we can do all that with our LBs rn, but I do think you could be like UF on steroids and get in his face consistently, which leads Beck to make mistakes.

Bama's offense is certainly better, but this is a road game in Athens. Their defense is better, which is why they may score more. We can't afford a bunch of 3 and outs and self-inflicted wounds like we've historically had vs UGA. Short fields and mistakes/TOs are why I think have a chance to break 20. Not because they'll drive 80 yards multiple times.

Yes they got sacks but our pressure rate is higher. We’re #2 behind Ohio St. Ole Miss was around 5 or 6 or so

UGA’s defense is not better. Bama’s averages less points and yards are about a wash. Obviously being on the road accounts for something but I don’t think UGA’s offense is capable of scoring “more” without help from our offense (i.e. turnover, pick 6, etc.)

Ok so overall sacks don’t really tell the story right? So if one player has say 10 sacks. Another player only has 5 sacks put has a higher pressure rate, how can you say the guy with 10 sacks isn’t the better pass rusher?? That makes ZERO sense.

Your statement about our DL getting held more than any other team is flat out ridiculous.

Been in my feels a little lately. My best friend growing up lost his father and family friend this week. He was a hard ass, on his son but to me as well. I learned over time it was because he cared about me. Life moves quick, 25 years goes by way too quick. I hadn't seen him in 20 years...... Haven't seen my best friend growing up in 15...........

RIP Mr Williams

BOT we know you’re one of the nega posters so this isn’t surprising coming from you. The advanced metrics are out there showing we have a better pass rush lol. Sports reporters have said the same regarding our DLine. Our pressure rate is part of the reason QB’s average less yards per attempt, less yards per completion and less yards per game than Ole Miss’s defense. You and Devo, are putting too much focus strictly on sacks lol.
