Vanderbilt will be playing Tennessee with a record of 0-7 assuming the game is played.

Won't happen, but IF we lose Pruitt should be fired on the spot. I think it could be argued the financial situation would be worse if you keep him around another year if we go 2-8.

It will be okay because we'll have new, extreme ****** assistants who have no other options and a recruiting class held together by duct tape coming in.

Next Year U

I've grown up in GA so I know lots of UGA fans. One of my best friends is a huge UGA fan and he blames the whole season on Kirby. Last year Coley was the scapegoat, but Kirby isn't super popular after this year. He had a surefire top 3 pick and botched that, brought in two transfers that didn't or haven't played, and have played a mediocre Bennett and horrible Mathis while Beck is no where near ready to play.

Had more time to think about it. I don't think we get Freeze so looking for positive and hard to find but here we go.

1. We do look bigger than we used to.
2. Most of our players who look good are Pruitt recruits or guys who have been developed by his staff. Also, helped get guys like Tuttle and Phillips and Warrior to where NFL is an option or still possible.
3. QB is big and I think we see Bailey is only one we really could expect to have a chance of being good. We are also in on several highly rated guys which has not been the case till we got Bailey last year.

In hindsight, I remember Manning playing as a freshman. He is the best QB to play here but was very ordinary his first year. That is just the way it normally is for first year guys despite talent. If HB plays and looks ordinary just remember how ordinary Mac Jones looked when he came in for Tua last year and what he looks like now. So, maybe Bailey isn't really ready just like Manning really wasn't but did have the benefit of a really good team around him which we are not that good yet. If early in the year, JG was best chance to win and you are 2-0 then maybe you would do the same if you knew what coaches knew. However, we have nothing to lose at this point so play the kid and play for the future. Time will tell but maybe the positive is Bailey could be a great QB and maybe they can still get him there and they are bringing in another top 100 at the position in 21 and have another on the one in 22. So, these guys at least know this is an issue and are addressing it.

4. If these guys are great teachers then COVID would affect a team with first and second year talent who missed spring and mostly fall more than these other teams we are playing against that have more seasoned players.

5. We also had what we know as the worse SEC roster when Pruitt got here and the worse roster maybe in our history and these guys have some good talent sticking with us despite this. The only people who I have heard say our class with have decommits is guys on here and not the kids themselves. A lot of them have done the opposite.

6. Big concern about losing the locker room. Probably some truth to that but the key is has he lost his kids in the locker room? If these last two classes are still bought in like conley has said then he could still get it done.

7. Boyd and Plowman are the same people they were when the season started and Boyd especially seems to care about football and we have not had that in a long time.

I am sure there are more but I am going to try to think more on this than the negatives and you guys know how I feel about Jeremy. But I said this the day he was hired, I am going to wait and see what he does on the football field because at the end that is what matters. We have not got them this year but we have seen some things that are good we seem at times to forget. COVID has sucked the life out of all of us so much even if not directly infected by it. I also said he had to get it done here or it might not be attainable for more years than we want to count. He just has to get it done and if we support that then maybe he can keep stacking talent and turn this thing around. If he doesn't then I may never get to see this team in a playoff with my son.

Get it done Pruitt. Just get it done.

I have followed this same arc as well. Spent a ton of money in 2015 for a let down against Oklahoma; took my daughter in 18? To the Florida game to see us get embarrassed; even traveled to the Bowl game in January. But now, I’m not sure I even care when we are on - and it also makes me not care what other teams are playing (because we are so terrible that other games’ outcomes don’t affect us in any way). Ugh.

A back injury and surgery has kept me from hunting this fall too. I guess I should take up knitting or something.

Tai Chi. Find your center again. It will also help your back...Yoga can too.

How’s UGA’s fans feeling about the season? I assume they are pissed, but give the coaching staff a pass because if the QB situation. Of course, that situation was created by the coaches.

Agree on the situation created by the coaches, but not sure what else they could have done (with the exception of playing Fields over Fromm). Most can see it for what it is. #1 QB jumped ship, #2 QB hurt (may start next week), #3 started first game and poor kid looks scared to death, go with walk-on 4th string who will give you all he has, but obviously limited in what he offers. Not many programs can start their 4th string and still compete.

Just a crazy year for everyone, look at most of the programs that are doing well have experienced QB and OC coming back or QB being in system for years like Mac Jones. I was wrong about UT, figured ceiling was 7-3 or 8-2, but felt the floor was 5-5. I’m scratching my head.
