Agree that the point spread was startlingly high.

My impression is that Clemson is strong where we are weak. Best defense in ACC, strong line on both sides of the ball, power running game, etc. In theory they could limit our offense and slowly grind us down. As has been pointed out, they are loaded with talent. If we beat Clemson it will...

Oh, if we played Mississippi again we might beat them. You don’t have to agree. But here’s the question. Which of those 3 teams can beat uga?

By no stretch of the imagination would I call Missouri a good team. Tennessee is overrated (I wish we played them) and Mississippi has had a good PR campaign since before the season even started.

Yes, this team is so close to being something special that the energy is palpable. After failing year after year to give CPJ the support he needed to get to the next level, this administration seems different and fully committed.

There were a lot of face mask calls against both teams. Everyone, from what I could see, were legitimate calls. Defenders playing hard and trying to reach out and grab a ball carrier just happened to have their hands go in the wrong place. I’m not sure there is a way to coach this not...

Bravo! My much smaller part in the victory was to talk down our chances of winning this game every chance I got. The “no way we win this barring some once in a million miracle” talk sets the right karmic tone and has a huge beneficial impact on the outcome of a game.

Yep, some teams look set up to fail with their schedules and some look set up to win it all. But, obviously, in either case the team has to perform. Y’all are tired of hearing me say this but I still can’t believe how easy uga’s schedule was. They will have to just completely blow it not win...

Ouch. Now that’s just cruel. 😊

Yep, the more penetration by the DL, the less field a DB has to cover. They can be more aggressive and cover more closely because there’s less chance a receiver will be able to put a final move on a break free behind you. What’s funny is we all know this but still, when a secondary is getting...

Wittgenstein had categories (I’m digging back 50 years!) for ordinary language games which cover some of what you are referring to. On the other hand there’s a very old mystical Christian tradition found in the Benedictines and other orders of taking a vow of silence. To oversimplify, our...

I really thought Virginia would have more to show us but we really put the wood to them in every quarter. I was distracted getting ready for out of town company so I didn’t see how the two injuries occurred to the UVA running back and QB but I did notice from the opening minute that they were...

It won’t last 48 hours.

And the coaches poll was a very close call because the uga coach didn’t even vote us in the top ten. Had Nebraska not voted us number one we would have lost that one too. People. What are you gonna do with ‘em.

Now that we are giving consistent effort on both side of the ball, I think we can see what picking up just a few stud players for this team would do. I’ll just throw some numbers out off the top of my head. Get 3 stud players for the defense and we challenge for the ACC championship. Get 5...

I know you are being funny but, seriously, that was a serious effort by our guys for an entire game.

I picked 7 wins and I was ready to trash that prediction after the BC loss. Now it looks doable. Win one more game and make it to a bowl and we have a chance. Tech feels competitive again and our long nightmare seems to be ending. What I saw that I liked in the UVA game was that Tech played...

Well, to clarify, we are not delusional but we are benighted. Everyone thinks their perception of reality is the correct one but the fact that we spend so much time “defending” reality is evidence of a fatal flaw in our perception. Hence, every conversation is an attempt to reassure ourselves...

A different professor said it differently, “Words promise what they cannot deliver.”

I don’t know. It was a very long time ago. I suspect that it is related to brain theory (Stanford studies) how perception is shaped by thoughts, the philosophy of egoism, and existential / psychological role of anxiety over the human condition.
