You know what, man? Enough is enough. We happen to LIKE Coach Boom over here; this loss is tough enough without some rube coming around to vent his narrow one opinion while we try to deal with problems that run a whole lot deeper than "Fire the bum!". Now, I suggest you study up on football in general, and the actual structure and various responsibilities of the different coaches on this team. I just don't have time now to explain all of that to ANYONE, least of all someone who came in here with his axe to grind and is neither listening to anyone else nor understanding what the actual problems are in the first place.
yeah not a way to start on a board, state your opinion then move on.

We just can't do anything with the ball now. How does a tough running game look to y'all NOW? That's what wins close games.

Here I am, writhing in tension and pain like I feared and meant to avoid, 4th and forever...WTF was THAT? NO protection, after all that? That is the game, right there.
Now we proceed to escort them down the field, you watch. Sigh. Here we go.
THIS is EXACTLY the kind of no-heart/no-character collapse at the end that I feared most of all. That irritating "visitor" who hates the Coach will have more and more company, I fear--we do have a lot of knee-jerk fair-weather fans who don't see the big picture or understand how these kind of problems don't just suddenly happen: they are seeded years before, they grow and then blossom only AFTER the damage has already been done. More than that, they take time to root out, replace and regrow with healthy new parts.
I wish we had picked one way or the other to go down here, though: either bring in Gillissley/Reed/Brown/etc. when we had it on their side of the 50 and tried to run it down their throats, or started flinging it to the house--of course, a little protection would have been nice.
We end up losing by that Rainey-gift TD, you notice? That was the KILLER, right there--we all knew it. That doesn't occur, and everything goes differently--WE walk off happy with the ugly win.

im so hurt right now, havent felt like this since zook era.brantley did good with his injury i mean he looked 50%. Thank god we beat tennessee couldnt have lived losing to them and then having this type of season. Idk where we go from here maybe put the underclassmen in on offense and get them some game time for next year cause the season is gone.Beating fsu is the only thing that could salvage it some.Can we please quit running demps and rainey between the tackles.gonna go throw up now.

Are you happy with where he has brought us so far? I know we are short a couple of players, I just expected him to have control of the team.....so far I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'm just short sighted, but I just don't see him bringing the program back to the elite status it deserves. Of course I could be wrong....but then so could you.

I guess we're in for a couple of more years of "wait 'till next year" Thanks, Will.
Look, I told you: you are the PERFECT cheer-leader of the "Dweebs For Muschamp's Release" squad. I'm sure you'll find plenty of like-minded fools over there on that "Fire Muschamp"-site you say already exists. Even if you thought that was a clever retort you just made up, something like it DOES probably exist already, and if not WILL soon--there are no shortage of angry, ignorant whiners who need simple answers and a single, clear person-in-charge to blame. You will get no traction here, however. I told you: we LIKE Coach Boom here at GE, we know where the problems are AND who could and/or should be blamed, if that made any difference. The LAST thing WE want is for it to affect this Coach and his staff's ongoing plan and hard work in changing the very nature of this team. THAT is where all our hopes lie, and if you'd care to open your eyes and your mind to ANYTHING besides your own silly little one-note song, perhaps you'd shut up and actually make an effort to LEARN a few things about it.
Otherwise, you made your point with your first comment (then again, and again, and again...ad infinitum). We get it. We all think you're wrong. THAT is, in you own words, "End of story".

These last two losses have been hard to handle. Two ugly wins were well within reach.
Yeah--I would have been talking about our weaknesses , the very same ones, even then--but of course it wouldn't be hurting like this. We're a bad team, a team that can ONLY "win ugly" if we CAN win at all--but we've regressed over the course of the season. The team that started the year would have won both of these last 2 games, I believe. A lot of that is because of injuries, no doubt about it--but the seeds for all of this were already budding then: the penalties, the missed blocking assignments, poor tackling, etc. It's all THAT that makes us a "bad team".
All the little guys getting injured, too. I don't want to start sounding like that anti-Muschamp guy when I talk about Meyer & Co., but what were they thinking? You can't just go by the highlight reels. There's only so much Mickey can accomplish, ya know? Between the prima donna head cases and the undersized kids who lack size AND heart, what did they expect BUT half out at any given time and half never living up to the "experts' promises" the rest of it?

we gifted them TWO TD's.... that was the difference in the game :(
Yup. That, plus all those points we left on the field in the first half doomed us, obviously: Any ONE of those goes differently and, instead of what Totemkopf rightly calls an "ugly loss", we walk away with an "ugly win". Even more maddeningly frustrating than the Auburn loss. That Georgia team is pure mediocrity. We SHOULD have ("shoulda", again--I HATE "shoulda"!) been able to kick their BUTTS!
In Poker, there are certain times you just know you're going to have to fold--the situation doesn't lend itself to any kind of maneuver or bluff, even--but you can still gain some valuable information, even lay the start of some future play, if you know how to do it, subtle and low key. This is the equivalent of such a time. It's not "our night" with this crowd, but we'll be playing them all again. We can still get some work done, set a different tone, show what we want to show and set the stage for a later run, with better cards coming our way...and in THIS game, it's OK to "stack the deck", even to be admired and envied when you do. Let's hope I'm right, and that our man-at-the-table, with whom we've invested so much faith, hope and Gator-support, is about to do just that: stack the deck, run the table, clean out the competition and eventually break-the bank again on an annual basis.
