Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship is about as good as they come, but he proved human in the overtime loss to South Carolina, missing a 42-yard attempt with the game on the line

Rod is awesome!! He should have been given the chance to kick the field goal and win the game in regulation. He's been a rock and savior for the DAWGS. You can't blame our loss on him. Not at all. We lost that game long before Rodrigo missed it.
Gonna have to call BS CKS. How can you say after the fact you believe in Hot Rod and not give him a chance to win it with three seconds on the clock? I have always been a fan of you coach but you played not to lose today instead of playing with the heart of a champion. This loss is all on CKS and Coley. Go Dawgs!
I blame coaching for not kicking on third down with 0:08 left. Maybe it works, maybe not. Wasn’t at the game but wondered: Was the wind a factor in not attempting the 60-yarder? Not mentioned all game on TV. No kicker makes them all. Noticed that the early kick just snuck in the left upright. Similar on the miss without sneaking in. Bad alignment? Dunno. But keep your head up, Hot Rod! Go Dawgs!
JoeFann. I was sitting one section to the right of the goal posts, lower level. There was a slight breeze but can’t see how wind was a factor. CKS is showing a pattern of overthinking and playing not too lose. I can tell you without a doubt there were some disgusted fans in the stands today, myself included. Go Dawgs!
The Dawgs are fine. Fair weather fans
Yes, yes, so you've mentioned. Look, there definitely ARE fans that only follow a team when they are good and then disappear when things fall apart, but don't forget that true fans ARE really upset right now. It hurts. Yes, it's just a game, but it still hurts and venting is part of it. I'm not supporting what everyone says, but it was definitely a kick in the gut.
Any HC/OC that calls 9 runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd downs doesn't deserve his paycheck...
