Since 1962, UGa had a record of 24-2 at home versus Vandy going into last season, and had won 46 of their last 52 contests with the 'Dores. Why didn't your "mental edge" make the difference in that game?


I didn't say the mental edge was the ultimate trump card. It merely helps a lot. Obviously UGA has beaten Florida and Auburn has beaten UGA in those time frames.

Do you really think AU lost to UGa last year because the Dawg players had a "mental edge" because y'all have dominated the series of late?


It definitely helped. Gus is a head case and doesn't know how to call a UGA game. We took away the run and forced White to throw with his BB gun arm. Georgia players expect to win tDSOR every year.

It's mind numbing how even the shitty UGA teams can defeat Gus.

New Gus therapy though:

If by 'took away the run' you mean you were able to stop our beat up 2nd string RB (starter missed the entire game) and and by 'BB gun arm' you mean 'injured' then I totally concur. Which only goes to prove my contention, the outcome is almost completely dependent upon actual gametime factors, including injuries, and not "mental edges" based on historical trends.

Won't argue about Gustav screwing up with the playcalling/personnel decisions, just as he had the previous year in Jordan-Hare (fortunately he seems to have addressed that in the offseason, although that remains to be seen).

But to somehow attribute any part of your 2016 tDSOR win to Richt's success against us in previous seasons stretches credulity IMHO.
