Only way to salvage this season.

Blows my mind that UF and FSU might be fighting in the season finale to make a Bowl Game.

I just can't see this happening. No chance.

Anything can happen but do we really want to go to a bowl game? Really? The only reason you want to go to a bowl is for your team to grow, inspiring the program for next year. Muschamp and McElwain both limped into bowl games and had no momentum going into the bowl games. The bowl games were deflating more than motivating in most of those games. Pass.

COnsidering our overall depth and lack of experience, a Bowl Game would be pretty good for the program to get the young players some more game time.

Plus, I do want our recruiting class to stay in the top 7.

So while I think McElwain is a dead man walking (maybe not this year, but next), I do still support anything positive for the program.

Young players have been getting playing time anyway. The only reason for us to go to a bowl game is for us to replace Mac and have an interim coach start changing the culture. Other than that it's just another shite show where it's more deflating to get beat by another team you should win.

The idea of a bowl game is to have all of those extra practices and help teach the players. That may help our defense but on offense the coaches don't teach the players anything . They just blame them for the team sucking .

Iowa St was a 33 point underdog to Oklahoma...# 2 Clemson brought down by a 3 loss Syracuse....no one can say we cant win...not saying we will win...but damn sure not going to say we wont. Our DL can keep us in games if we can get them some rest.

The defense is good enough. Held LSUs backs to a 2.9 ypc avg and A&M to 2.2 ypc. UGAs passing is last in the SEC.

We need a QB to move the offense

Neither of these schools have a quintet of backs.

Chubb, Michel, Swift, herrian, holyfield. These guys are really good at carrying the ball. They really dont compare to LSU or A&M in either quality or quantity.

We also have one of these, Jake Fromm. He has a few big play threats out wide.

Florida is a great team, they have alot of talent on both sides of the ball. So does UGA, looking forward to the game boys!!

Thomaston (sorry you live so close to that sewer hole girls school in Tallawasse)

I'll give you A&M...LSU had Guice not at full strength but they can run the ball. Our defense stopped meatchicken til the offense kept 3 and outing all game.

The DL is our strength...LBs are getting much better though young. Secondary has improved some and its almost a high school aged backfield. Safety and cornerbacks except for two are true frosh mostly....but talented.

Fromm has not had to win games at all with the UGA defense and run game. He has thrown 8-10 passes in some games....which I don't blame the coaches at all. From what I have seen, Fromm has a nice delivery with zip and appears accurate.

As in most SEC games the defense will try to take away the run to force teams to throw...both UGA & UF will do the same. Don't pay too much attention to the whining on this board. They bitch about Davis not getting enough carries for example...and don't have a clue that defenses have stacked the line to prevent us from running....then we unfortunately have to rely on Franks to make a throw on third down.

Anyone with football knowledge knows you throw if they crowd the line and run when defenses don't. Our QB is a work in progress and leaves the pocket too often and misses wide open targets because of his haste to make something happen. You may see Zaire in two weeks or maybe even Trask if healthy or hell...maybe our own true frosh, Jake Allen. Coaches are very concerned with Franks and he has lost confidence imo. Once that happens...ouch.

A lotta folks will say that UGA will beat us by plenty and they are probably wrong. If we don't commit turnovers, then it will be a close game late. I remember many years ago the passion of the games played in Jax back in the 1960s-1980s. Vince Dooley had our number a lot and some games were hard to watch. Spurrier flipped the script in the 1990s.

The Leghumpers are beatable, stop the run and make them beat you in the air. They are very similar to Auburn in that way and you saw what happened to them on Saturday. The defense is improving, lots of young guys playing. The offense seems to always play well against UG. I think it will be another close game that could go either way. We are all up in their heads so that could make a difference in the outcome.

Go Gators!

That is literally the only reason I have hope for this game.

For whatever reason, UGA turns into smashed pumpkins the moment they see orange and blue in Jacksonville.

Florida has a lot of talent on their roster, unfortunately, a lot of them commited fraud and are unavaliable to play football. Worst case they all transfer to Auburn, they go on to win a natty two years from now. The plainers are always looking for talent with questionable decision making abilities.

If any of them get caught up with domestic violence, Alabama will gladly take them. The alabama teams are all about fielding "criminals".

Link?

The following came over a year later, when there was no benefit to the university in any capacity:
quote:

Prosecutors on Wednesday dismissed firearms charges against a former University of Georgia running back who was arrested last summer when Athens-Clarke police found a stolen gun in his car.


While police had good reason to arrest Isaiah Crowell for the gun that was under the driver’s seat of his car, authorities were unable to find evidence linking the 9mm Luger semiautomatic pistol to him, according to the dismissal document.

“Based on the fact that the weapon involved was located under the seat of the car that (Crowell) was driving, there was certainly probable cause to arrest (him) ...,” Western Judicial Circuit Assistant District Attorney James Chafin wrote in the dismissal notice.

“However, as there is no other evidence to connect the defendant to the weapon, the state would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that (Crowell) possessed the weapon found or even knew it was there,” Chafin stated in the dismissal.


And we still dismissed him from the team. At best you've got possession of an illegal firearm... no drugs, no alcohol, no mass quantity of weapons for dealing... did you enjoy the trip down fantasy lane that you took?

Do we really want to go down the road of pointing fingers at criminal athletes? ahem... Hernandez...

Goddamn it, almost woke up my girlfriend laughing at this.

I don't really know why the culture at Florida Football is so bad. Callaway and Scarlett were NFL bound (could still be) and to commit a crime in the digital age that's so...open and easily detected is so mind-numbingly stupid.

I hope we can turn this part specifically around at our program.
