Been busy and I've never really liked coming on here during the season. It's too crazy. Like last night. I was catching up on the game thread at halftime after watching jg have the best half of his career and thought I watched the wrong game. Cause the game thread made it seem like he had more interceptions than yards. People were calling for Maurer. Not everyone was. But during the season the instant overreaction to every leaf that blows by like a dog looking out the window just gets too intense. So I don't tend to post as much. Just pop in from time to time to remind people WGWDFA

As far as JG, I just couldn't be happier for him. I honestly thought after the Bama game he would hit the portal and never play another down here and wouldn't have blamed him. He has unquestioned character to take his reserve role and supported his teammates. It looks to me like it took a little longer for him to get comfortable w the offense but I see him going thru progressions now and looks like the game has slowed down for him.
Hopefully a couple of posters on here who accused him of being selfish will admit they were mistaken..

Honestly stepping back and looking at it as a whole.

We've played like a young & inexperienced team (which we are, especially on defense). Offensively the bulk of our mistakes have been OL related, false starts, dumb penalties etc. I think the fans (myself included) turn to blame Jarrett too quickly for things that aren't always his fault.

Ultimately though, our special teams hasn't been as good this year, Brent has kicked better but that's just him as a player improving. Both punters haven't done well and our return game (specifically kick returns & Ty) have looked confused.

Just like UK, MSU, and SC, this team is continuing to confirm that it has learned how to win. Came up strong in the closing minutes of the fourth to hang on.

Props to Callaway, JJ, and Palmer. All three took huge shots and were still on the field producing.

Bituli is going to be a huge loss next year. Hopefully JJ, QC or someone else can step up and be half the player bituli has been down the stretch. Think he’s played himself into getting drafted.

Calbert in motion was cool but oddly unproductive. Seemed like someone was not sealing the edge or something.

Mizzou D reminded me of Seattle/San Fran circa 2014. Hold literally every play so refs feel like they can’t blow the whistle every time.

Let’s crush Vandy and go bowling.

If it's MCB, I'll be there so long as it isn't freezing cold. I am still defrosting from the Titans/Cowboys Christmas Day game in Y2K. Glad the Vols won and should beat Vandy. I'm not sure that we're doing anything consistently right now, just winning somehow. We could just as easily be in the same boat as Kentucky, SC, VU, and Missouri all of whom have notched some bigger point differentials than us against common opponents but have also suffered bewildering losses.

We are winning consistently. It is definitely still a work in progress.

I think he's going to be way better than AJ.

Can't believe that he went out of the UK game with a dislocated kneecap and came back in shortly after.

Toughness, leadership, passion, instincts and athletic ability...the kid has it all. Imagine how much worse this season would have been if we didn't land him.

Can the "we need a new O-line coach" stuff stop now? Even when Chaney and Pittman were here, it was still Chaney and Pittman. Just like it was at UGA and we now openly see how they have taken a step back with all that 4 and 5 star talent.

It's Chaney and Friend now. Sounds like a TV show, but is providing outstanding results on the field.

Run blocking is not good, but we need better RBs too. Pass protection is decent enough.
