Most frustrating 12 win season of my life.
Spoken like someone who wasn't around for the 1980 "natty". Most UGA fans seem to think that winning a national championship brings a state of enlightenment and nirvana. I can only speak for myself, but the product on the field during 2017-2019 was much more enjoyable than anything that happened in 1980 and subsequent seasons.
I've done my share of complaining in recent years, but this year's offense was very entertaining compared to 1980, which was Herschel Walker, one play by Lindsay Scott, and not much else. The '80-'81 championship game (Sugar Bowl) was painful to watch.

I’m an outlier on the Dooley era. I was in school for the 80-83 run and well remember the sentiment of fans — ecstatic over Walker and the defense/Erk; WTF over the balance of the offense. GA eked out a ton of wins in what should have been blow outs. Dooley, in my opinion, had little to no imagination as an offensive coach. I believe we won in 80 despite Dooley. I saw Buck play multiple times in HS. I thought he was a better HS player. Dooley as much as admitted he placed his best players on defense, see Terry Hoage. Weird era. Dooley was a better coach early in his career. The 70’s were dog shite interspersed with an occasional great year.
