i think we’re all a bit emotional today.
we all want the same thing on this board
I hope things turnaround for you
and I also offer my apologies
To ALL my fellow Dawgs fans here. May God Bless & Protect You and your families. I Sincerely apologize for my diving into the dark side. I confess I’m struggling with PTSD issues, and I feel I’m losing. Not asking for Sympathy but would deeply appreciate understanding.
I take Dawgs football way to personally. It’s about the last thing I have to enjoy. But I Know on a very personal level what it’s like to give your heart and soul to something and come up just short. Then have people on the outside looking in that weren’t involved start telling you Why you failed.
I guess it’s a rather cruel reality. I think we are very probably as a country on the brink of some Very harsh and cruel realities. But that’s a story for another day and time. In the NOW I wish you ALL a Very Merry Christmas. And I Believe with all my heart that Kirby and the Dawgs will be back strong and with a vengeance !! Merry Christmas !! Go Dawgs !!
Gary Danielson was spot on again. Gonna miss his insight in the future. Thing about Gary he's right most of the time.
Thank You. I appreciate that. Kirby is a great HC as well as a great recruiter. I’m Believing better days are ahead for our Dawgs. And for the record your right, making excuses doesn’t fix anything. Merry Christmas to You and family. Hey a 12 game win streak regular season is nothing to sneeze at !! And like you said we’ve sure seen Worse times. Better days are ahead !! Go Dawgs !!
Just my humble opinion and that’s All it is. I think that Bama that beat a very banged up Dawgs by only 3 points will lose vs Michigan or WA. Also a repeat loss if they get a repeat with TX.
In my humble opinion Bama is really not that good. They were very fortunate to play a beat up and depleted Dawgs team. And only managed a 3 point win. I just don’t think they can deal with those teams I referenced.
Just look back at Bama’s paper thin wind in recent games. Then just One example look at how WA destroyed a Very good OR team. TX decimated OK St. Michigan whipped Iowa handily.
Now Bama would beat FSU and probably pretty handily. But those other teams spell a Bama loss. And Saban’s being a “Legend” dims considerably in the National arena as Many people on a National basis despise Saban and Bama and want them to lose. Any clout he Might have with officiating would be greatly diminished. Just my take. I don’t Know any thing for sure. 😀
This lose is on the coaching staff, once again Saban owns KS. Bobo called a great opening drive then went into his shell. It was obvious our three man defensive line was getting out numbered on every play. All game long we played with three linemen with the linebackers and DBs anywhere from five to fifteen yards off the line of scrimmage. Everyone watching the game knew Milroe would keep the ball in his hands on that last drive, but our coaching staff did not make any adjustments. I know it has been a great run just hate to see it end like this, with Nick Saban schooling Kirby one more time.

@MikeGriffithI can tell your really enjoying this. Yeah you’ll say “I’m just reporting the facts”. But I can almost see the gleam in your eyes Mike. But that’s OK YOUR Vols didn’t even get to sniff of an SECE Champion less alone a Natty. I take at least some solace that your orange people are Still going nowhere year after year. Now back to your salt rubbing. 🙄 - Navydawg
This is a ridiculous statement to make Navydawg - MG has covered MANY teams. Why do you think he likes Tenn so much? If you look back at his reporting on games featuring Tenn and Georgia, I think you will find that he has been more than fair, reporting the facts. AGAIN, for those that are slow to learn, MG is a BEAT REPORTER. B-E-A-T R-E-P-O-R-T-E-R. He is not a homer like BA. Stop thinking that he is and you will be less frustrated and appear less ignorant in your comments.
Then prove it by not complaining about ESPN, Refs! and fans that tell the truth about what they saw. tOHS and Bama fans do that. Let's NOT be them! Let's admit that our team was whipped and move on. Georgia will be back.
Calling me ignorant doesn’t endear me or make me want to embrace your comments. Your entitled to your opinions as I am mine. And you along with budknox and some others have been Overly Critical of the Dawgs All Season. But you claim to be only telling the truth.
My eyes ain’t as good as they used to be but I watched the game to. And the refs essentially Gave them 7 points on a NO CATCH where our Dawgs had them stopped on fourth down. And who is MG a beat writer for ?? That’s right DAWG NATION D A W G N A T I O N see I can use all caps to.
It is my understanding that MG is a graduate of UTenn. though I will confess I could be wrong on that. And take a look at How he words his titles to his “articles” to Dawgs fans who are Already hurting. MG seems by the slants he puts on the “facts” to take great joy in anything Bad that happens to the Dawgs. But I’ll yield on the issue of MG and say that might be just a negative perception on my part, though many share that perception.
Oh and back to the Refs thing. Do you remember the Phantom offsides call a few years back in Saban’s favor ?? Well that Official After He Retired said he’d have called it differently. How convenient for him, After he retired.
Just because I’m not as Naive as you are doesn’t make me ignorant. People are not always fair and unbiased and that Certainly applies to sports to. Look no further than MI sign stealing !! So if You think Refs can’t be influenced that’s OK stumble through your naive little world. But as for me I Saw the No review on a NO CATCH then they Did do a review on a Much More obvious catch by Arian Smith in the second half. Why ?? To give the Bama Defense an opportunity to catch their breath and regroup as Beck had just stung their eyes out with that pass which Again was a much more Obvious Catch with no need for a review. So if I’m ignorant I have Company with You as you are just as ignorant in your naivety. Have a nice week. 😀 Oh and Before you respond with some sort of sarcastic response. I was minding my own business, YOU were the one that Chose to just out of the blue attack me in two separate comments. Trying hard to demean my character publicly. Well Your version of the “ truth” is not considered True by everyone here, maybe even most here, so there’s that.
Georgia has to recruit the Atlanta metro area at the top level if they are going to win another National Title. The talent in Atlanta is awesome. Kirby and his staff has to be great in South Georgia and Atlanta.
A repost to you NavyDawg.

God be with you Brother, enjoy the one thing you can still do and enjoy it. Until people have walked in your shoes they sometime don't understand, yes the world has changed, lot of folks like us understand sacrifice and commitment. Sadly there are a lot that don't. Trust me, there are a lot of us out there, they call us the silent majority, so long as we're here and faith is present we are in good hands.
Thank you and every other Veteran and their families for the sacrifices you've made. I know it's off topic so that's all I'm going to say. Have peace navydawg and others in your situation.
Back on topic, Go Dawgs!
You brought tears of joy to my eyes with this. From deep in my heart Thank You. Thank you So very, very much. I am So Blessed really. There are people By Far worse off than me.
I guess I throwed myself a pity party and for that I am ashamed and apologize. I’m WAY TO passionate about Dawgs football as in the end it Is a game after all. My wife will as I do with her, deeply consider my advice and as I do with her, many times heed my advice, but outside of GOD on which Both of us depend she is a very independent person.
She saw the same things in the game as I did and came to the same conclusions. As All my family members that I have spoken with by phone did. If we had lost the game fair and square I wouldn’t say much. And my own family members would call me out for complaining if I did. So I guess my quite large family on Both sides are All either blind or ignorant. I think not. I think it’s a matter of opinion, of which we All have. But enough of that.
It is SO refreshing to know and moreover SEE people like YOU who have and Show compassion for their fellow man ( humanity). It’s Also and Equally important if not more so that you are a person of Faith. That warms my heart and serves to remind me, I’m NEVER Alone. I have The Most High-Christ Jesus, My Family and Loved Ones, and my Loved Ones like YOU that I might not get the wonderful opportunity of meeting on This earth but Will have the opportunity to meet One Fine Day in a FAR Better place !!
May God Richly Bless & Protect You and your family my Very Good Friend & Brother. I wish You and Them a Very Merry Christmas !! Again Thank You !! You have Blessed Me with a Better Day !! 🎵🎶One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus 🎵🎶 Look forward to meeting you by the King’s throne !! 😃
Bubba, you wouldn't know the truth if it bit you in the butt.
