[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 249567, member: 1036"] Read Mark Bradley the day after the Clemson game, and he was basically calling CPJ out for the 'disaster' of a game, suggesting that he may be on a short leash with the new AD hire.... After the way Mr Bradley beat the drums to have Mark Richt run out of Athens (don't like UGA but like Coach Richt) and was one of the loudest voices in getting Coach Gregory fired after his best season, I decided never to read one of his columns ever again if I could help it. Was curious as to what he had to say about Coach Johnson after the Clemson game and was utterly disgusted. He used to be a good columnist many years ago, had a lot of positive things to say. But now it seems like he enjoys getting coaches fired. Don't know what's the matter down at the AJC. Don't like reading Steve Hummer's columns anymore either... Sorry for the rant... As far as the game went, didn't think the Jackets had much of a chance Thursday unless a lot of things went right for them and if Clemson played the way they did against Auburn. Didn't know if their game the previous Saturday was a good indication of how good they were, playing against an inferior FCS opponent, but it looks like Clemson is the real deal again. The only major critique I'd have of the Yellow Jackets on Thursday night would be that they looked sleepy and not fired up from the very first play of the game.
