It’s hilarious that we say “well UGA was more talented blah blah blah” and then when it comes to recruiting we’re like “hell yeah, rankings don’t matter”

Which is it because I’m confused? Lol

When you're talking about upper crust, and I mean top 5 in CFB. Yeah, it does matter.

The 'recruiting is great' folks saying a top 15 class cuts it, arent seeing it. Our projects arent cutting it. ill saying it one last time.

If I can see WR, OL, Safety, and DL (not DE) arent that talented. Houston, we have a problem.

Always strange to have the Glosh truthers when we have WR's open but overthrow them, ball gets to open WR and they drop it, or play is open in the pass or run game only to have the OL miss a block.

Is Glosh a better OC than Hazle? Who knows. It's an apples to oranges comparison. One had Hooker/better OL/NFL WR's while the other had Milton/freshman QB/worse OL/average WR's.

Ohh we had a better OL then?

We had many of same issues, we just had Darnell Wright which equalized many issues. The constant has been Ellarbee, who is notna great, or even good recruiter here in Y4

Bama isn't losing.

But keep an eye on Ole miss at Florida next weekend and Texas at aTm week after... And OSU to obliterate IU next weekend... None of that is super far fetched either.

But until then... Tuesday night probably won't be a ton of fun. I fully expect us to be out of it on the next rendition.

I think us and UGA swap places next week.

Yep. People say just get a top 10 class or whatever, but there's a reason teams like UGA are winning and consistently recruiting 1 or 2.
Our 25 class is kinda bad ranking wise, especially when it comes to closing the gap against UGA.

That’s a ridiculous overreaction. Heupel has played Kirby 4x. Kirby has had a roster advantage every time, though the gap is narrowing. Vastly overmatched in 2021. 2022 and 2024 were competitive in Athens.

Lol, they really weren't.
22 UGA dominated TOP and our defense couldn't sniff a stop.
Last night UGA outcomes us 31-7 after a HOT start. It really wasn't close.

“It really wasn’t close?” It was a 7-point game until 2 mins to go. We were driving the ball (not just had the ball, but putting together a 14-play drive) in the 4th quarter to tie it. Of course it was close.

We are still in our Clemson 2009-2014 phase.

Need to keep stacking 10 win seasons to reach the next level as a program.

Clemson fired their good but never elite defensive and offensive coordinators to make that jump as well. Recruiting went from the teens to top 5-10 every year and their elite run took place 2015-2020

Apologies for my outburst last night. I am reposting yesterday's devotional too because it was spot on. I just realized it too late. Tough loss but more important things are out there for all of us.

November 17, 2024: When you pray, do not speak to the air. Search for God until you connect with Him. Come in faith without any unbelief or doubt. You have to be convinced that Christ will hear and answer your prayer. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

November 16, 2024: Examine the things that have caused you to be upset. If there is something you can do to make changes, do so. But, if there is nothing you can do, accept it and move on. You would do well to put it behind you and take the next step in drawing closer to Me, says the Lord. Your fruitless striving drives a wedge between us. Proverbs 20:3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.

It really wasn't. We couldn't pass. We scored once outside of the 1st quarter because UGA busted an assignment. It really wasnt.

Heupel seems like Butch when it comes to hiring and firing his buddies.

Ok, final thoughts for UGA y

Recruiting has to get better, has too. Gass and Smith absolutely have to be part of this class, have to get Campbell. Ideally, Ellarbee needs to get off his ass and find another G.

Team has played well, really this was our worst game. Offense has regressed, time to take next step versus some team from TX.

Defense needs to regroup and see what's at stake.

There is no reason, never. ever a reason to lose to Candy. BTW, Austin Howard committed to them today😅 We have to get better on the trail.

I don’t understand how anyone says he isn’t elite x and os when he won back to back
Titles and is in the playoff hunt every year. Last night he out coached us plain and simple. We actually have a team who can match up with them for once. And we did, until they adjusted and out coached us. They had an elite gameplan to stop our pass rush and shut our offense down second half.

He is elite, he coaches circles around Tennessee every year as well as recruits anyone he wants. A lot of which come outside the state of Georgia. Tennessee needs to match that intensity.

We’re a 5 win team right now without Sampson and this defense.

Wouldn't say the team has played well, I’d say Sampson and the defense has played well.
