Our defense isn't the best in the nation but they are elite. I want to love our offense but our O-line is hit AND miss, our receivers aren't getting separation. Is Pittman a better recruiter than Coach? Can Coley get more creative?
I've got you by a few years on all accounts but don't agree with you on your "independent thinking" .
A smattering of applauses for your effort though....
The dawgs are fine . stop ****
It’s simple: don’t boo the kids. Express your displeasure other ways, but don’t boo at the game. You can rationalize all you like about booing the coaches, game plan, offensive philosophy, etc., not the team, but the kids working their butts off hear those boos. So do recruits. You’re actively encouraging recruits to second guess the thought of coming to Athens. In just a few weeks’ time the boo birds changed Sanford from the nation’s most electric atmosphere vs. Notre Dame to an embarrassment.
You are showing your age...booing your own team doesn’t really qualify as an independent thinker in my youthful experience but what do I know? I had rather be a blind loyalist than boo my team...but again what do I know. Just know that when you are in the stands booing...the true fans around you will stare and wonder who the jerk is!
I would suggest the same fans that cheered and screamed on a Swift TD run are many of the same ones who booed when they ran it on 3rd and long and didn't even bother to try to, say, hit a 5 yard pass and see if maybe the defender slips down, when you have a QB who was being touted as a Heisman candidate late in the 2nd quarter when it's 0-0 and the offense is floundering against a lesser opponent. THere isn't a "cheering section" and a "booing section", there are just fans. THe booing was like when it's 4th and 1 on the opponents 40 yard line and you decide to punt instead of go for it. THere were thousands of real UGA fans there in the rain getting soaked who love their team, love the players who booed a couple of coaching decisions. I guess they need to all go cheer for some other team. Is that what I'm reading? WHat snowflakes.
I think the booing is completely appropriate. I mean, how many Dawg fans were yelling at their TVs? Is that considered "poor form"? Maybe the fans just should've left at halftime and said "screw this": would that have been better? Booing shows passion and the fans have it.
Lets face it, the announcers on TV for the past couple of games pretty much (although as gently as their could) tore the coaching staff a new one questioning the play calling. What does that tell you??
And again, they... were... booing... the... COACHES. I'm sure the players would agree if they were to truly allowed to speak their minds.
