  1. This is going to be a tough week of preparation mentally for this team. They came into this season thinking the playoffs were their birthright and now have seen that goal squandered. What is their motivation? None of these kids care about Arkansas as a rival, and as bad as they are, Arkansas has not quit on their season. I hope that this team has enough pride in themselves to win in front of their home crowd, but I’m expecting a high scoring struggle, as Petrino will exploit our secondary. I’ll call it Horns 34-30 because as admirable as Arkansas has been battling in futility, they just haven’t shown that they can close the deal and win.

    Watching the first episode of season 2. The interview at TCU is hilarious
  3. IU and Ole Miss. Maybe Oregon. The rest can all burn
  4. Nahlin has been at least strongly implying Sark needs to give up the OC duties
  5. As a person who expected us to lose that game by 7-10 points am I allowed to have frustration with the same problems dooming us last night that we have seen for 5 years, and which led to my low expectations in the first place?
  6. Listening to the IT post-game podcast from last night. The former player Drew Kelson is patiently explaining to the YouTube “post all the plays” guy Nash why Sark got outcoached last night, not as a play caller, but as a head coach. Says Kirby’s feel for the flow of the game is so much better because he doesn’t have his head buried in the play sheet trying to figure out what his next plays will be. Nash took the position that no one could have seen the onsides kick coming. Says Sark has been aggressive on fourth downs but players just don’t execute. Kelson asks why that might be in year 5 and Nash says we have young players who haven’t been here 5 years. Nash is clowning himself and Drew is too polite to dunk on him like he deserves to be.
  7. I really don’t see our issues as a talent/player personnel issue. The ability is there, except probably on the o-line and TE room, and a lot of that could be fixed with a better S&C program. It’s the little things that add up and separate us from the best teams in the league. We drop passes, make costly penalties at crucial times, get surprised by fakes/onsides on special teams, and have communication breakdowns in the secondary that leave guys running free. The guys who were making big plays for UGA last night, Humphries, Jones, Luckie, and Delp, are not players on the same level as Brock Bowers, George Pickens, or AJ Greene, and they certainly don’t have Matt Stafford throwing them passes. They didn’t have Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Mikel Williams or Jalen Walker on defense. UGA just doesn’t beat itself. They execute, adapt to what the other team is doing, and keep playing hard until the other team breaks. Until we start playing cleaner and stop beating ourselves, we aren’t going to win big games like this.
  8. Here’s the video of the onsides kick
  9. Sark apparently said they had prepared for it, just didn’t execute
  10. 33 on first drive, finished with 23. RB’s went 10 for 40.
  11. Agree with just about all of this. He is a good coach who has earned more time to turn things around, but has some consistent flaws that he needs to self-assess and correct. If he wants to go pro, then I won’t think twice about it. I hope he figures things out.
  12. Sark had been pretty good about keeping scores close in losses, even when we got dominated. That came crashing down last night. Maybe that’s what was needed to keep from fooling themselves about the fundamental deficiencies this team has.
  13. I kid, I kid. What else do we have to cling to?
  14. This quote from Kirby belongs in this thread:
  15. Yeah, it wasn’t from lack of success when we attempted it. In fairness, they had gotten it to 14-10 and might have run it more in the 4th quarter but when the defense gave up the long drive followed by the onside recovery and subsequent score, it’s 28-10 with 8:53 left in the game and the running game goes out the window at that point.
