Texas toasts No. 21 Georgia, hands Bulldogs most-lopsided loss of season

Behold Mediocre Mike in all his glory. DYSS…no sugarcoating this one, what a lackadaisical team effort.
Coach MikeWhite the motivational speaker…
“Hopefully this game helps us for Tuesday.”
Holy shhhht, and we pay him how much?
I’ve seen a lot of Georgia basketball over the years so this doesn’t surprise me at all. I don’t get my hopes up for anything good for Georgia basketball until it actually happens. I guess they’ll blame it on jet lag or the ice storm they’ll arrive in back home.
That was as **** a 2nd half as ever seen in college basketball.
Big IF, but IF this team makes it to the NCAA tournament, they may win a first round, depending on seed but they’ll never get past a second round. You Disney Dawgs on here need to realize Mike White will never get this team to an Elite Eight!
Never ceases to amaze me how this team just disappears in the 2nd half of games. When this team is on, it's awesome to watch. But the rest of the time, maddening.
The win at Missouri was solid. Seemed like it at least, but then to follow it with this clunker? Wish I could believe it’s just the team going through growing pains.
We see the reason UF let him go. They weren’t satisfied with being mediocre. Have a big win then a total flop. The consistency is having a great win then a total bust of a loss, like Ole Miss. Or a loss like yesterday where you have hope then the heart gets ripped out. Someone on another site said every-time I turn on to watch this happens. Exactly.
The comments on Mike White are out of place — Georgia has improved every year and is off to its third-best start in history and best since 2001-02 —- and with less than an average SEC budget.
Anyone who has watched this team play will appreciate how hard and how well they play.
One bad half in Austin against a hot-shooting team isn't enough to warrant this level of criticism, in my opinion.
That said, the next two games will be very challenging — Tennessee is a bad matchup with its size and defense, and Texas A&M leads the league
It's a journey, and if this team makes the NCAA tourney, it will be another successful season.
@MikeGriffith He built another impressive start to the season in usual Mike White fashion, against cupcakes and the luck of only playing one ranked team in his team’s first 20 games. Now thatSEC season is here, hate to say it, but it has that same ol crash and burn mediocre feeling to me. That team that I watched against Texas absolutely quit in the second half when they got punched in the face. Half hearted picks, no blocking out, not passing to the open man, instead choosing to drive the lane against 3 opponents, running the same offensive set and hoping for different results, standing there flat footed and being out hustled to every rebound or loose ball, etc.
Success isn’t being one of the 68 best teams at the end of the year, success is competing and giving your all every moment of every game no matter the outcome. I recognize that every team has off games, even FU got their tails handed to them at home vs Auburn, but they did not quit competing, we certainly did and that is what’s so darn disappointing. Great coaches don’t let their team quit, ever. Ask Kirby…in any event, I appreciate you Mike. Let’s just agree to disagree when it comes to our feelings about Coach White. Cheers mate.
@Gramster — the wins at Missouri (unranked but elite at home and over Auburn (not ranked, but certainly a Top 25 squad) spoke to me, as did the close-out over ultra-talented Arkansas and its Hall of Fame Coach. Somto's growth is undeniable, and in Wilkinson and Smurf UGA has an explosive backcourt. Catchings and Cain have the right upside, and there's plenty of depth if this team continues to improve defensively and maintains its unmistakable chemistry. The SEC season is a marathon, lotsa good teams, there will be ups and downs. Let's see how this team evolves — so far, reason for guarded optimism.
Just to be clear Mike, it isn’t the players that I doubt or intend to diminish, they certainly are one of the more talented groups we’ve had in quite some time. Simply put, I question their leader. He’s a good guy, a likable guy and a classy individual, but those traits don’t necessarily make a decent coach great. Cheers on the guarded optimism…I’ll dig deep and try to rejoin you! Stay safe with all the ice around.
@Gramster Fair enough, but Mike has won COY in three conferences and UGA has improved each of his first three seasons. I agree, there's a lot of meat left on the schedule!
