OT: Weather

Posted by AlaCowboy on 3/15/25 at 7:41 am

Been up since 4:30 am. Lots of thunder and lightning. Plenty of heavy rain in North Alabama and heading toward Georgia. Should ease up here in an hour or so but more and worse weather coming in late this afternoon. Get ready.

My former wife, a 1972 UGA grad, passed away from brain cancer in 2021. My prayers to David and Lindsey and family.

I mean honestly, whose fault is poor execution?

The player. If a route is to go 6 yards and break right and the player goes 4 yards and stops, is that the fault of the OC, or the player?

Well, I can only say that our offense needs to be better than it was last season, otherwise we will probably lose one or two games again and struggle in the playoffs.

Ratledge and Wilson at the combine said the problem was execution all across the offense, not play-calling. But the career Bobo-haters in here have their boogyman.

re: Spring Game, Yay or Nay?

Run the spring game as a workout. Show the OL pushing the sleds, the DL rushing while the OL blocks, the RBs running routes and catching passes, and the DBs defending. No tackles, no cut blocks. Just everybody show their athleticism.
Then set up tables and for $10 bucks every player hand out autographed photos with a meet and greet the fans. Players split the money equally.
Everyone gets in with 10 cans of food for the local Food Bank or a $10 donation.

Sometimes on Sunday mornings in the spring we take our pontoon boat out on the lake and watch the sunrise and read Bible verses. We feel closer to God those times.

Our prayers go out to you and your family. Whenever you feel sad, go to one of his favorite places and thank him for all he did for you. He will embrace you.

Georgia is undefeated against ohio state in football. The only team ohio state can claim an undefeated streak against is Youngstown State.

His odd release is conveniently timed around Bowers, McConkey, and Mims heading to the draft.

Bowers and McConkey made catches others couldn't make. Maybe that's why Beck was better in 2023 than in 2024.

I think Beck just had an odd release,

Considering the number of interceptions he threw last year, versus the few he threw in 2023, I'd say his odd release came after his Miami connection came around.

Poor coaching and killing a kid's confidence is a real thing. Happened with our receivers back in 08 or whatever that year was when Mo Mass got booed and our receivers couldn't catch shite.

2 things - Don't equate today to times past. Different times. Different players. Different coaches.

If multiple players have the same problem, maybe the problem isn't with those players, but with the QB (the constant with all the receiver). If he throws the ball too high, behind the target, or when he shouldn't throw it at all, then could the problem be with the QB and not the receiver? Go back and watch games and tell me all the drops or INTs were on the receiver.

Also have two WRs invited and led the nation in drops.

Maybe the pros realize all those drops weren't necessarily on the WRs.

Easy fix - if you stop play because you’re injured, you can’t return to the game for that series or maybe an entire quarter or a half.

Better idea is the injured player has to go to the locker room and be evaluated by an independent medical team. That'll take about 20 minutes.

very tired of seeing Georgia have the championship as a home game,

So when LSU is in the SECCG, do we move it back to Atlanta on short notice? Because we all know aTm will never be there.

I just had a consultant from St. Louis say "what are you fixing?" why do you people say fixing?

Southern women don't have PMS. They have FTS. "Fixin' to start". Do you Texas men say that too?

re: Colbie Young Recieves 12 month Probation

Posted by AlaCowboy on 2/6/25 at 9:23 pm

He will be back on the field

What are the terms of his probation? Does he have to have permission from his probation officer to leave town or leave the state? That could hinder his travel with the team? If he is charged or arrested for anything during his probation period he will likely be gone for good.
