Couldn't help but laugh:the term "rudderless ship" being self explanatory. Please tell me you don't have a degree from UGA. NO! WAIT!!! I don't want to know the answer to that. I do want to thank you for a laugh during these summer doldrums though.


Have 2 degrees from UGA. I am familiar with the definition of rudderless ship. I wanted him to explain what he meant by it. I know you are a simple person and easily entertained, so enjoy your laugh.

The offensive line seemed really complacent and didn't play hungry last season, for whatever it's worth.


If memory serves the OL was supposed to be one of the best in the entire League last year.

Ultimately, Georgia returns three starters from its offensive line and should have one of the best offensive line units in the country.

Overall, Georgia's offensive line is experienced and should be one of the best units in the country. In fact, Georgia has four All-SEC players on its offensive front.


We averaged 121 yards per game rushing and finished the year ranked 102nd in the nation bracketed between Bowling Green (101) and Florida International (103). Let that sink in for a minute.

Lewis Grizzard said, "There is a rumor going around that you can drive through Athens and they will throw a diploma in the car. That's not true. You have to stop first." I always assumed this was just Lewis being satirical. You've given me reason to suspect it's true which makes it even funnier. Guess you caught 2 STOP signs.

Lewis Grizzard was a witty dude. You seem very simple. Surprised you understood at least some of his work.

I just went and watched the film guy break down that play, they were not in man coverage. He stated they were in zone coverage. But the whole point to this was you were acting like Beck never made bad decisions.

No sir, you said he made “terrible reads” . I asked for proof of “terrible reads”. This was the first one you presented. Was this a terrible read? Yes or no will do.

Ohhhhh Peter, Peter, Peter. I'm not getting into a slop slinging contest with you. It's demeaning and although you've already dove in, I'll abstain. Something, something along the lines of 'Never get in a wrestling match with a pig. You only get filthy and the pig enjoys it.' comes to mind.

It's a small man who can't laugh at himself. You requesting an explanation of the term "rudderless ship" was funny. Boasting about your 2 degrees made it all the more comical. Allowing your ego to prevent you from seeing the comedy in it is sad. I would have laughed at myself had I said it. I may be simple, but I have a sense of humor. I hope I never lose it. That would be one miserable existence.

You seem dumb, but that’s ok. Also a tad clueless, but that’s ok too. God loves all his children. Maybe one day Lexi or is Dad can come by and explain what he meant about the offense being a rudderless ship and you can make some more dumb chuckles.

The coaches did not produce a product last year that was any where near the standard of the previous 3 years


I’m 23 our schedule was pretty easy and we lost the SECCG and missed the playoffs.

In 24 we had the hardest schedule I can remember and won the SECCG and made the playoffs.

What standard did we miss last year? Not being the National Champions like 21 and 22 or missing losing the SECCG and missing the playoffs like in 23?

Why is it so hard to admit that these other teams are pretty good at football too and we aren’t going to normally win every game?

Averaging 102 rushing yards per game would be as good a place to start as any I suppose.

Apparently 101 "other" teams were better in rushing than we were. If your point is there hasn't been a drop-off or these are the expected results of competing with "the best of the best" you may want to pick another hill to die on. The one you chose is untenable.

Our running game was not where it needed to be by any means, but we also had a brutal, brutal schedule which likely accounted for part of that. Winning the SEC Championship was truly amazing based on the schedule.

This is a dumb take. 101 other teams didn’t win the SEC Championship and the teams by average much better teams UGA played focused on taking away our zone play to make us 1 dimensional . We most certainly had a lot of missed blocks and assignments. That could be the combination of a number of issues. It should also be noted that Beck was ranked 3rd in SEC passing yards at end of regular season and 13th for all NCAA, so we obviously had to adapt to what the defenses were giving us and what we could do. The PA offense works better when you can run it better, yes. We all know that.

We were 102 in the nation in rushing. It's a fact. Your feeling about it doesn't change it.

....and your argument is what exactly; that the 101 teams ranked above us just happened to play teams who had no interest in stopping their running game???? Regarding teams taking away our zone play: apparently it worked huh??? All season long. Seems like coaching would have taken some steps to address that at some point, but I'm a simpleton. What do I know?

You contention is these 101 teams would have still been ahead of UGA if they played UGA’s schedule? How many of them would have won the SEC Championship ?

No where did I even infer that.

You need to ask for a refund on your tuition for those 2 degrees, I've seen better straw-man arguments formulated by 4th graders. I'm ashamed for you.

We already knew. It’s ok, you can shoot up some Ozempic and get some facial hair management advice from professionals. Remember, you only accept the standard of excellence.

Was it terrible maybe, maybe not. It surely wasn’t good. But thankful for our defense and 102nd ranked rushing game we pulled it out. But idk maybe my expectations were/are a little too high of a qb that’s a second year starter throwing into basically double coverage. The read may not have been bad but there was 2 Texas defenders there and one made the play.

Speaking of our rune game we haven’t had a 1000 yard rusher since 2019
