When we have a loss like this, I try to find a fanbase that is feeling worse. So..yes, I do feel bad, but I bet not nearly as bad as most Georgia fans right now.

Easy sell to recruits after today. Most players want to beat the best, not join them.

Uh, you seen Bama's recruiting lately? If anything some of our guys are having second thoughts about being day one starters and would now rather be 7th string at Bama and collecting rings.

Bob Welton can find 5 stars in within 2 and 3 stars tho.

Losing to Bama won't hurt recruiting. Getting embarrassed and literally quiting in the third quarter will. Injuries and a tough schedule can be excuses. Sure. But getting beat by 39 points by your biggest rival? No.

I will say I am very proud of our defense. They played their hearts out. Honestly, we should have lost by 50 if you consider just how horrible and inept our offensive play calling was and how many times we three-and-outted. Barnett is an amazing dude.

After flipping thru Facebook and reading some of the post game comments, I literally loathe Bama fans!! Such a pompous fanbase, with zero class!!

I hate it too. Hurd just isn't for this system. at all.

Hurd will be more productive in the NFL with a fullback to block for him. Kamara is the better back for this system as there were a couple of plays I saw where Hurd had cutback opportunities and just wasn't able to make the play.

The way this staff has handled Kamara, I will be shocked if he doesn't declare this year. Ideally, I'd like to see Hurd declare and let Kamara and Kelly be the primary backs next year.

I still think we finish the season strong, but if we do make Atl for the SECCG, and have to play Bama again, we will lose again. Just don't believe we are at their level yet even when our players are healthy.

I'm going to be very interested to see what this offense looks like next year with either Dormady or Guarantano at QB. The passing game is limited with Dobbs and it will be interesting to see if an improved passing game can open up the running game a little more.

No way Kamara, Hurd or Barnett return. This was a last chance year for our stars to align with Sutton, JRM, Kamara, Hurd and Barnett playing their best FB. What could have been...

We're gonna be really really good next year too. Butch didn't build a one hit wonder.

Ya, I'm no Dobbs hater, but Im excited to see of Guarantano is a next level QB. Dobbs has saved so many games for us, but I think we need slightly more from a QB to take the next step. I wish our OL showed up more consistently, and I really hope we upgrade Mahoney next year.

Bringing back majority of the offense and most of the defense we've been playing with the last few weeks.

We are really, really gonna miss Barnett. He's the only major guy on defense we're losing. (Maybe Vereen, too)

Contributors lost will be:

Hurd
Dobbs
Kamara
Kendrick
Weisman
Barnett
Vereen
Lewis?
Foreman

I think we'll be good. Just not sure how good. We'll return a lot of talent... but it's hard to replace some of the guys we're losing. We could have been playoff good this year, if everything clicked and nonstop injuries didn't kill us.

Injuries have killed this team. I don't see the talent coming back though. I see us taking a step back. Maybe these young guys take a step forward but I don't see us replacing these guys leaving with equal or better talent.
