Wrong. Kirby knows Deandre Baker skipped the game.

Losing a close game to a Saban Bama team is average in what world?


With their back up quarterback because their starter was at about 20% the first 3 quarters of the game.

I like your logic even if I disagree with you on some stuff re Florida, but don’t moral victory your way through losing that SECCG. Bama played their worst possible game (Georgia caused some of this, but Bama was dropping passes, they were missing tackles, they were fumbling- credit to UGA there though) and Georgia still couldn’t take advantage. All of that AND Tua was hobbled the entire game. Then the back up, that is known far and wide for not being a great passer, comes in and dominates with his arm.

Saban and Bama are great and there’s no shame in losing, but there’s nothing to take as a moral victory from that game. Georgia lost to a better team and it was only close because they played uncharacterstically bad around an extremely hobbled quarterback.

Parker Braun will be interesting wherever he lands. He’s somewhat undersized and is gonna be asked to play a totally different style than he did at GT.



Yeah, I’m not sure how he’ll adjust, but I do know that he’s got to be a smart kid (Tech grad), and he’s seen some nasty defensive linemen from places like Clemson, Miami, Georgia, and NC State. If he can sure up a spot on that interior OL, or even just be a quality depth piece, he will have done his job for us. Regardless, it’s nice to have an experienced and highly thought of guy like him if he does choose to come here. I know he’s visiting Texas and Ohio state too, so it’s not a slam dunk. His little brother is a 4 star OL recruit too from Live Oak, Fl that we’re expecting to get.

It just KILLS you to give UGA credit for anything.We were 14 pt underdogs to a team which many called the "best college team ever".No team had come close to beating them.STFU with 20% bullshite.No coach in their right mind keeps a 20% QB in the game.Tua was continually confused with defenses Kirby and Tucker threw at him.

Congrats on... covering the spread? What kind of credit are you looking for? You could’ve beaten Alabama with an injured star quarterback but you didn’t. Great job!

You keep your star player that got you there in the game until the wheels fall off. Are you saying Tua WASNT injured now? Don’t be delusional.

Congrats, I guess. They confused to shite out of Tua on one injured knee and one injured ankle, then back up quarterback Jalen Hurts came in and was not confused at fricking all.

uhh, no. That would be the Clemson game. At least insofar as getting in the endzone it was the worst, in spite of more first downs and t.o.p., and about 450 yards of offensive production. Course, I also have to credit Clemson's defensive game plan for keeping UA out of the endzone.

Anyhow, I thought UGA played hard in the SEC title game and it could have gone either way.

edit to say that you were right, though, about Tua playing injured. He played with an injured knee since the Arkansas game, then injured the ankle early in the title game. Not talking about the ankle he slightly injured when he stepped on his own player later in the game.

Touché, but that also furthers my point that losing to Alabama in a close game didn’t necessarily make Georgia the second to the throne of the greatest team of all time. It’s not like Alabama closed the season the way you’d expect.

Point is, Bama played bad against Georgia and without a healthy Tua. And Georgia still couldn’t beat y’all.

Personally, I like UGA ok because I've lived in the state most of my life and most of my friends are UGA fans. I think UF, though, would be my favorite East division team, if I had to pick a favorite.

So I got no dog in the fight, but I do think there is no doubt that UF will eventually be a yearly contender in the East.

Agreed. We also promise that Mac is gone. So we will actually make a game of it soon. God we've been hobbled by bad coaches for so long. Just painful.

20% is quite the exaggeration. He certainly rolled his ankle early but he didn’t hit close to 20% health until the 4th q when he left the game. You can’t play on 20%. 75% is a much more reasonable % to place until he left.

The only credit you need to worry about is how we beat your arse, again.

As for Tua, he was running around fine until his OL stepped on his ankle. Don't let facts get in your way. Tua has perfected the act of being hurt when he is playing poorly.

I was disputing your idea that the bama game was somehow a reason for confidence for uf. It’s the most arse backwards take I have seen about that game. Going toe to toe with the clear 2nd best team in the nation is impressive. If uf were able to do that, I would have been very impressed. I would certainly not gain confidence from it.

Sick burn we’ll see y’all soon enough. We suck and the talent gap is too big, you ought to have nothing to worry about

Delusional. He hadn’t ran around fine since the LSU game. Keep pulling those moral victories my man. Maybe one day they’ll turn into a real championship.

He played as well as he could on an injured knee, and I'm sure he was administered pain killers every game, but the injury impacted not only his mobility but his passing game. You can watch him early season 2018, and every game 2017 in which he played and that was the healthy Tua Tagovailoa.

The injury to the ankle that he had scoped after the game was not the ankle the offensive lineman stepped on, but the other ankle, injured in the first quarter. He played on it, and after the game it was scoped, as noted. It's a pretty good bet he didn't have a scope on an ankle that wasn't injured.

Most UGA fans I personally know are reasonable fans. It's guys like you that give UGA a bad name.

Point was moreso that y’all lost your last two games. And I was impressed with Georgia in the game, but looking at the context, with Tua being hurt and just how poorly Bama played, it’s more of a shock that y’all didn’t win the game. That’s all I meant.

And that’s my whole point about our win against Michigan. They went toe to toe with Notre Dame, were considered a top 5 playoff contending team, then got beat by Ohio State, and we beat the shite out of them. Regardless if they were down 2-3 players on defense and their running back, we did what we were supposed to do against them and gave them their worst loss of the year. To me, that puts us in the same category with y’all, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, LSU in that second group below Clemson and Alabama. (Y’all would’ve been in that top group if not for the Texas game. And saying that game means nothing just isn’t true. It happened. And when evaluating teams at the end of the year it absolutely should be considered)

That’s why I’m not sure how you’re spinning more confidence that we can’t compete with y’all based on the Michigan game. If we barely eek out a win against them so short handed, I get it. But we beat the dogshit out of them. That shouldn’t be held against us in any way.

We fixed up our bigger depth issues in the secondary too luckily. Wilson and Henderson continuing to get injured hurt us a ton. We had no solid back ups.

Right.

I love our secondary next year.

All SEC caliber guys in Chris Henderson and Marco Wilson out wide at CB
Former Freshman All SEC Trey Dean at nickel/star
Top 50 overall recruits Chris Steele and Kaiir Elam backing them up

Amari Burney, Brad stewart, Shawn Davis, and Jeawon Taylor battling with the freshman for the safety spots and other role positions on the secondary. I love our depth and what we could be in the secondary next year. I’d take my group over any group in the nation.

I do think that Mullen is probably a better coach than Smart is yet. I wondered if Mullen could recruit well enough, and for him to have UF in the top 10 recruiting the first full year is a good and encouraging thing for you guys.

I know that UGA will be the favorite to win the East this coming season but I would not be surprised if UF does.

It's funny how he keeps ignoring the fact that Michigan was still favored by over a touchdown.
