I thought CKS would adjust at half time,evidently he thought his power at running back would wear Texas down by the 4th qtr. When Kirby saw Fromm was having a bad night he should have pulled him. It sure is easier being an arm chair QB
Pulled him for who though? The guy who is actively looking to jump ship?

Glad they are showing the game now. I gave up right after Texas scored their first touchdown. I figured Georgia would play un-inspired ball. Sad, was hoping they would curb stomp the short horns...

the 'wait til next year" crowd is hanging their hats on 1 - how many years it took saban to win his first national championship, 2 - bama lost the sugar bowl in 2008 and look what they did in 2009 and , 3 - dabo lost badly in a bowl game at the end of his 3rd year and look at where clemson is now.

meanwhile, the clock that was set on 1 january 1980 continues to tick.

And that is exactly why I can't stand UGA. I was a teen when UGA won their NC that time. Scarred me for life. How DARE they do that when we had Coach Bryant???!! The nerve of them!!! Still makes my blood boil. LOL

They're not handling smack talk too well on FB today. I keep seeing posts about "but, but, but this happened to Bama in '09 and '14!" Several want the OC gone.

Time will tell if the players are motivated any by last night's results. I find it a VERY bad look if players had to be bench for not performing during practice. SMH

What they fail to realize is that Kirby is fielding an Alabama 2008-13 team against modern teams. I know most of the blame for The Ohio State loss in 2014 is usually directed at Kiffin, but folks tend to forget Herman totally slapping Kirby silly as well. Go to 2015 Kiffin totally saved Kirby’s butt against Clemson.

Point is Kirby is overrated and Bama fans know Kirby and what UGA is a hell of a lot better than UGA fans do. Once Mullen and Pruitt get going Kirby is done.

they seem not to realize that saban and bama had to learn how to deal with the expectations that come with being an elite team. and we are still learning that.

based on the actions between the seccg and now, it doesn't seem like that is really being dealt with at uga.

Maybe if Kirby Richt issued a public apology to Nick for being such an ingrate, he could get the karma monkey off his back.

I just can't stop laughing at the UGA players who jumped all over ND/playoff committee on twitter and then come out and get blasted by Texas!!! :biggrin:


Next time, take care of your own business before you start the smack talking.

Latest CFB QB ratings...Tua with a nice lead over 2nd (Murray). And no one else is even close.
I was thinking Fromm was up there also...I was wrong (about 30 points lower than Tua).
ROLL TIDE! GO TUA!

For NCAA official records, do they use the end of regular season or in this case, the end of postseason games?...Murray was ahead (of this stat) of Tua at the end of regular season after the conference championship...

Pretty much said the same thing in another thread about Georgia being an early CNS type offense and defense.
