I haven’t mentioned anything bogus, nor have I used any revisionist history, so what are you talking about specifically?

False.
A shitty t.u., however, is GREAT for football.
I can't disagree. When Texas was good, their throwing their weight around wasn't good for college football. Forget aTm...just ask Nebraska, Colorado, or Missouri.
And I've never really bought into the argument that "a good team X is good for football." You could list a bunch of teams and make that same argument. Texas. Notre Dame. Nebraska. Penn State. USC. FSU. Miami. Tennessee. Etc. Etc. For every winner, there's a loser. Every team that's good comes at the expense of another team not being good. Clemson being good has been damn good for college football, and college football has done pretty well when Texas, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and USC have been in the shitter.

"Not historically, worst thing the Bumbles did was to bolt for the ACC after Dodds got pissed at the Bear."
Yea GT only needs to win 26 games to even the series.
GTFO
How historically do you have to be when you are behind almost 3 decades?

Nobody said Texas was better. They outplayed UGa, including on the lines. That was very telling. But to say the only reason Georgia lost was because they were unmotivated is bullshite. Texas just punched Georgia in the mouth, and the Dawgs folded up like a tent like they always do when the pressure turns up.

In the 13 decades since 1890 gt has won 3 decades...
1900's... 5-2-1
1920's... 3-2-0
1950's... 7-3-0 (including 7 IAR)

Yep just like we did vs OU in the Rose Bowl in '17 or ND or Texas in '83 LOL,,,talk about a supreme choke job.

I'm not going to go back and read every post, but you seem to have a habit of mischaracterizing posts and arguments.
That may, or may not be true, but I am not going to say or insinuate anything like that on here. There were a lot of reasons Texas beat us. Just like there were a lot of reasons Maryland and Oklahoma State beat Texas.
Sometimes these things happen because t=one team is clearly better than the other, and sometimes there are a myriad of reasons.
quote:All well and good, but are you saying they are correct in pointing to the scoreboard as if that tells the whole story? I mean, I am all for giving Texas their props, and have several times in the past and in this thread.
The response is essentially "scoreboard" bitch.
Whether or not I think excuses are appropriate (I don't) is immaterial. Their response is just as inappropriate.
quote:
Maryland was better than Texas the last two times they played. Scoreboard bitch.
Maybe, bu I think we would all agree that maryland does nto have the better team. Probably not either year, although I don't remember what kind of year Texas had the first time they played. Typically, in order to evaluate the success or failure of a year in football you have to look at the full body of work, not just one game or two.
ETA
TLDR
My question was merely meant to point out that "Scoreboard!" is every bit as wrong as making excuses.

Mind showing me anywhere where I said that? I have consistently been complimentary of Texas. besides, none of the Georgia fans have said that was the only reason Texas beat us. They have, as a whole stated several reasons.
However, if it is bull to say Georgia was unmotivated, what would you say happened when LSU lost to ND twice r Troy once? I asked Texas fans to explain their lapses against teams with worse talent, and none of them seem to want to talk about it.
Maybe you will talk about the LSU/Troy game?

Who is doing that? That was just one of the reasons being discussed.

shite talking about something that happened in ‘83? Wow...
No, I’m thinking of how your Dawgs folded against Bama twice, while pissing away a Natty and SEC title. They seemed punchless against LSU last year.
C’mon, it’s Georgia tradition. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

What is there to say? Troy outplayed LSU. I don’t care if the Tigers were unmotivated or not, they certainly weren’t prepared. Why the frick would I make an excuse for losing to Troy?
quote:

Yes. LSU psyches themselves out, and ends up wound tighter than a golf ball. Last year, they didn’t fight back. Once again, I won’t make excuses, that’s a Georgia thing.

Pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever read on these boards.
Sporting events are determined by the score of the event. There is nothing more objective than the score. There is indeed nothing at all wrong about an objective fact. It just is.
There is everything wrong with making excuses.

nobody is denying the score or pretending we won, but you're being naive if you don't think certain factors can play heavily into deciding the outcome.

Jesus fricking Christ. Thanks for the tip about being naive -- as if anyone in this board's history has ever implied that outcomes of games aren't decided by factors.
Now THAT would be the dumbest thing ever read on these boards.
