Our daily "poor me" national championship article has been posted...

I can't find the original thread another poster started about these "what if" "poor me" national championship articles, so had to start a new one. We noticed that they deleted all the comments on that thread yesterday, and now have seemed to later delete the entire thread once it was brought to everyone's attention (ha)... Anyway, these articles/stories are beyond old, please stop posting them. Is DawgNation moving towards a click-bait model, where they just want people to argue and get people talking instead of reporting on the here and now? Losing faith in DawgNation by the minute... End rant. Although, I guess it doesn't matter, as I'm sure this thread will be deleted soon. Never knew a media company loved censorship so much.

    Yeah, its time to move on.

    Same, it's already known we had a great year and the team and coaches are using this as motivation for this year. No need to bring it up everyday.

    Agreed. Let's focus the positive. We were 8-5 in 2016. 13-2 in 2017. I had a poll after last years' spring practice and (almost) nobody predicted this kind of success. 2017 is the year we became the SEC Champs (not Bama), and the year we beat out a Heisman trophy winner in the most epic Rose Bowl of my life. As for the NC game itself, it was as close as could possibly be. Great performance and showing all around. Go Dawgs!

    DawgNation! Stop with posting the grumbling articles and get focused on the bright future ahead. It's bad enough to have an increase in ticket prices with a less-than-average 2019 home schedule :(

    Can anyone confirm OP’s accusation that mods deleted the previous thread?

    I personally think the topic of this thread is kind of silly. No idea why they can just click past the articles they don’t want to read. Rather than to to try censor them via “fan outrage”.

    But deleting a thread because the mods don’t like the entirely relevant content is by far the worst abuse I’ve heard of by BA. And as I would expect, the result is heightened outrage...

    I find it hard to believe BA really deleted that thread.

    The articles are embarrassing. I understand the disappointment, however, in light of Kirby's accomplishments, the fact that Georgia is now the hot topic on a national stage and the future looks so promising, I do not understand why some want to continue blaming officials or coaches. Go Dawgs!

    Can’t confirm because I am not a mod, but it is not here. Maybe moved or hidden, but can’t find it. I can confirm comments were deleted when it was around

    I’m still irked a little at Chaney because I worry he might be bad enough he gets in the way of us winning a championship in the future. Just like the most obvious thing, no excuse for not putting more of the workload on Sony rather than Chubb late in the NCG.

    That said, as I mentioned previously, I wouldnt fire him. The coaching carousel at winning programs is brutal. And we could definitely do worse than Chaney. I wouldn’t replace him unless Kirby knows he can get who he wants and is very excited about getting him.

    Finally found a site I truly enjoy following. I do hope it is not being censured!

    I totally agree with you. I questioned why we would run into the strength of the Alabama defensive front. Made no sense. I am not a coach though so I would not speak out about it. They have a lot more football sense than me

    Hey, we are all likely suffering withdrawls. No real news to follow until spring ball unless, of course, we get a commitment or two. I don't think there is any plot by anyone or any organization going on. Just a dearth of news. In a few weeks we'll be back on track getting after each other and not the reporters.

    They found something else to cover after the season was over for all these years. So, there is something else to talk about. And I get an article, maybe two, about the topic. But roughly half a dozen in just a few days?? That’s a little overboard.
