I knew this would happen.

A Bama loss validates UGA mediocre to good teams, staff and record.

See? It happens to everybody. Conveniently not mentioned is they have won more than a couple.

We haven't sniffed the game yet.

And all the other years when we didn't even come close? What cards were we kidding then? Good players? Good play callers? Both? Whose fault is that. Dude your basically saying that teams that win the championships are just getting dealt good hands. Bama and UF and LSU have made their own luck. That's just how I see it. Otherwise it sounds like more excuses to me. I don't mind an excuse every now and again but a decade of them I can't buy.

I love how these Disneys make excuses for Bama and Saban by bringing up his past wins. Losers live in the past. Winners frick the prom queen tonight.

Fire Saban and frick all you Disneys who defend him. You are the reason Bama lost tonight.

Saban lost two games this year...the same as Richt last year. And you guys are calling for Richt's job. Go figure.

Nope, I haven't responded to this ridiculous thread.

What I do know is in 2008 Saban brought in a group of less talented players from(at that time)a school with inferior facilities and pushed the (arguably)best UGA football team up ever fielded up and down the grass at will 'tween the hedges.

The rest is history and they have accomplished more in this time span than UGA has in its entire history of the sport.

It is what it is.

Well, we haven't fricked the prom queen in 33 years and pretty soon we won't be able to get it up any longer.

You guys keep talking about how it requires a little luck to win an mnc. Don't you think that we lucky last year? Georgia made it to the sec championship despite getting throttled by usc. So Richt isn't unlucky. He just didn't finish the drill when he got the opportunity.

...and Saban did not finish the drill this year. I love how you Disneys love to live in the past. If Saban had a real special teams coach and recruited depth at CB, developed talent at Tackle, and didn't keep his friend on at DC, they would have been playing in the MNC this year. Their D got torched by Auburn and special teams lost the game and Oklahoma's second string QB pushed in their stool like a common prison rapist.
Listen, if 2nd in the SEC West is what you Disneys are shooting for, then Bamas season was a success, but champions shoot for perfection and if you Disneys accept this mediocrity, then this loss and season is entirely your fault.

Go ahead and kiss the prom Queen... I just did a little ATM number on her...

2012 is obvious: the defense let Bama roll all over them, but the unlucky tipped pass and catch by Conley was something that went against us and cost us the game right there.

In 2008, our defense let us down when we needed it. Nothing really unlucky about that season unless you call being in the same division with Tim Tebow unlucky. Florida was dominant and won it all. Hard to compete against that team, but even if Florida was "down", a loss to Alabama and Tech would have kept us out of the championship game anyway. The defense giving up 45 points to Tech really clinched it, though. Our defense sucked, which is why Willie M eventually got canned. Can't be competitive in the SEC long-term with a crappy defense.

2007 was just bad due to losses against SC and TN. SC was a close game and their defense was stout that game. Another poor defensive showing against TN and lack of production on offense did it for us there. We were able to do enough to win the rest of the games, but we just couldn't pull out wins there. If we beat TN, we probably wind up going to the MNC game.

2007 was just us keeping ourselves out. There's nothing that could have helped us, short of 3 or 4 teams losing at the end, but that would have been really lucky, indeed.

Not every season is left up to a lucky play or schedule or opponents dropping the ball, but we've had our moments where we could have gone to a MNC if things had gone our way (outside of us taking care of business on the field). 2002 could easily have been the year for us to win one, but we were left out with one loss to Florida. We didn't catch a break there, where other teams with one loss got in (Alabama, LSU, Florida, Auburn, etc.)

Real fans ignore what they see and accept the modicum of shite they have as a coaching staff, don't ya know?

How could we become such assholes that we actually think Mark and his boys are stooges? Oh, sweet christ, even my sig exposes me as a non-believer.

Peter, how do I repent? 30 Hail Richt's? Buy a Ford? TELL ME, PETER! I DON'T WANNA BURN IN THE HELLFIRE!

Respectfully disagree. Bama's DE made a play/tipped the pass but objectively if you look at the coverage in the endzone, the play had little chance of success even had the pass not been tipped; our receivers were well covered. Bottom line: not matter how you spin it, we did not come up with a winning play in the clutch. Championship teams execute that one play that they have high confidence in and win in those situations.

You can't be serious. If richt had accomplished half of what Saban has he would've earned the benefit of the doubt.

The ball was tipped right to Conley, who, out of instinct, caught the ball and ended the game. The ball could have been tipped on the next play even if we spiked the ball and set up a different play, but the catch is what did us in.

The play we picked may not have worked, but it had worked several times earlier in the year, and we had Bama on their heels. I think it was a good call. Even if it falls incomplete, we still have another shot at it. The catch ended it, and if it wasn't tipped right to Conley (if it was batted down harmlessly, for instance), then we still have another shot.

Yeah, Bama executed, but we didn't lose due to a lack of execution. Just the opposite: we were performing under pressure and driving the ball against the eventual MNC. We had them on their heels and one play with an unforeseeable outcome ended it.

You are the reason UGA has not won it all. Settling on the accomplishments of the past and while watching your special teams blow an entire season and making excuses because they used to not do that is what losers do... Fire that motherfricker and all his staff...
