re: Saw this elsewhere about Grubb's early scripting

And yet, his offenses have scored 48, 45 and 50 points in the first three games. Kentucky was no pushover. FSU was playing for its coach's life and will be better this year. ECU pulled out the stops on defense hoping to get a monumental win.
I have little will to argue with the guy's performance now that he has players who fit his scheme.

Hey, great to have another brother in here. I will try to remember your handle.
I get your thoughts about slow starts, but what is the difference between scoring touchdowns in the first few series and a few more later vs right before the half and throughout most of the second half? Fifty points is fifty points.
The argument might be made that a team with a good defense could stop us from getting going and scoring in bunches like we did, but then they would be stopping us the whole game. We would really need to rely on our defense to stop the other team's offense from blowing us away.
I don't think anyone is wringing their hands about how the offense operated had the defense not left this game in the lurch throughout. Fifty points is usually enough to breath easy by midway through the third quarter.
I still think our defense is really good. Saban had great defenses that had to win shootouts. I am a bit concerned about how we have given up some chunk plays through the air this year. Is a Cam Coleman, or Malachi Toney going to absolutely smoke us if we play them? I feel like we are succeptible to giving up a lot of points in the air. Maybe it was a bad day, or a surprise scheme, or Daniels and his receiver had and unconscious day.
I don't know how this team is going to end up. We no longer have tons more talent than everybody else. Parity is here. Texas has one of the most talented teams ever purchased and a quality coaching staff. Georgia has seasoned coaches, a lot of institutional momentum and some dudes. Ohio State has an expensive roster and several years of building their program. They were destroying Texas before laying and egg. LSU spent a mint on their team. Ole Miss has a tremendous quarterback. This is truly more like the NFL than just the money.

This is just dumb. You’re taking away the offense’s success because the defense did a good job too?
Our offense exploded after the lightening delay. No two ways about it. The defense was the liability.

The problem wasn’t the offense. The defense could stop a sneeze. I am all for easing our sophomore quarterback into the game. Two games ago we gave him too much, and the fanbase exploded, demanding simpler stuff early in the game. The next week we play it conservative to hopefully cut down on the disaster plays, and people lose their stuff because we didn’t score every possession.
This is just getting stupid.

We have the worst fans. People actually get pissed at a coach who, by far, holds the best evidence of being THE up and coming coach in all of college football. He's won championships at lower levels. He took Washington to the Championship game. He took us to the SEC championship game in year two and the playoffs, where he won the first road game in playoffs history and then ran into a buzz-saw of an Indiana team. His record against Lanning, Sark, Kirby is unmatched. He's been to more SEC championship games than Kiffin and as many as Sark. He's beaten Georgia 2-3 times. 2 and 0 vs. Auburn.
People THINK he was left some full-cupboard by Saban and only needed to do a semi-decent job to win a championship. That couldn't be further from the truth. He was left no quarterback, a crappy o-line room, no running backs, and the only guys anybody liked and who gave great effort he brought with him from Washington.
He just wins. It might not be as pretty as some would like, but he wins.
The pathos of stupidity that has infected many of our fans is just lunacy. People will run off one of the best coaches in football so that we can cycle through a littany of "Hope he's the next Saban" until we are like the rest of the once-great programs.

Didn't you spend millions on that terrible quarterback. For that matter, tens of millions on your team and outrageous money on your coach?

Most people were sidewalk fans at some point. A person grows upa fan of XYZ school or becomes a personal fan as a younger person. Then they go to that school. Only super high academic schools have people who suddenly became fans when they got accepted/attended the school.
As to the quesiton. Yeah, we have a lot of fans who never attended the school. Don't know how it compares to other schools. Have no problem with it.

Vegas keeps disrespecting Chambliss and Ole Miss. Hard to believe they had LSU favored over them as a road team and us favored by 1.5 pts this week.
You’re going to beat Ole Miss Saturday. Florida is pretty good right now, and Ole Miss is going to be hung over as a Cajun on a Sunday morning.
You are catching them at the PERFECT time.

We have had several Saban National Championship teams, with excellent defenses, get torched and have to win shootouts. Mac had to out duel ole miss in 2020 and Florida. In 2017 we actually lost to Auburn, giving up 24 and scoring 14. 2016 team that got gypt by Clemson was in an absolute shootout with Ole Miss and won by 3. 2015 NC team game up 43 and lost to Ole Miss. 2014 team that lost to OSU after Bo went down got lit up by Auburn and won 55-44. 2018 Clemson just scored again on a peviously undefeated defense. 2019 defense gave up 46 to Birrow and LSU and 48 in a loss to Auburn.
Let’s slow the garbage pumping a bit. I can’t remember even a dominant championship team that didn’t have its struggles on both sides of the ball at some point.
Who was giving us a shot after South Carolina 2010 when Ingram had to save us by carrying us on his back?

I believe that all of the evidence shows this is a bad decision. Teams come back and have bad seasons. The travel and schedule disruption are too much.
I can’t see anything to gain from this, unless you are the NCAA or merch companies seeking to market to Europe.

Like what? The other team scores 21 first quater points? I mean, we took about as solid a shot as a team can take and still won.
It was really the defense that let us down tonight.

I wanted DeBoer. It is hard to argue against the evidence. The guy has won big everywhere he’s been. He will win big for us too.

Also lets not get crazy with the guys college football experience... he played at a D2 school that most of the big high schools in GA could line up and beat.
Sorry, but I can’t let this one go. This is an ignorant perspective of college sports. Non-D1 sports are not simply glorified high school.
D-3, lowest level above jr college. The guys who play D-3 are guys who were one of the best if not the best player on their high school team and all their teammates swore they were good enough to play D-1. In baseball, this guy hit 5 or 6 home runs as a senior. Pitchers have a fastball in the range of 82+. Basketball players often can dunk a ball are 6”4’ + and have really good handles. Both sports’ junior varsities can generally compete well with a junior college team even though only the junior college gets credit for a win, so the D-3 team will substitute very liberally and get a lot of guys playing time. Their varsities will rarely even sweat against a junior college team.
D-2 guys hit 8-10 home runs senior year in high school and a pitcher’s fastball goes 86+. Basketball players are a jump in size, athleticism and talent. They will handle a D-3 squad. High school teams stand no chance against a D-2 team. Their players are older, stronger and more experienced.
D-1. Most of their high school teammates believe they are a sure big leaguer some day soon. Hitters exceed 10 homers their senior year. Pitchers are 88+ for smaller programs, at least 90 for most, and mid to upper 90s quite often. Basketball players are often draft worthy players and superstars. D-2 schools don’t stand a chance against them.
Don’t despise lower level college sports. They are much, much better than you think.

No its pretty spot on for some folks here. Anybody not expecting KR to having growing pains, anybody still calling for CKD to be fired, etc. Last week we had posters saying Auburn would beat us.
We have a goodly number of posters on here who are either very emotionally immature or effeminate. They can’t stay a course in a plan, but rather act out of emotion one way or another based on the results of a play.
We have some very good posters too.
