[QUOTE="redmule, post: 119822, member: 1338"] Had the same thought as the OP as I sat in the OB after the game Wednesday night. This team has replaced the 1990 team as my favorite because they did more with less. In '90, we were loaded and we knew it. As much satisfaction as I got from the '90 UVA, Clemson, and Nebraska games, all three combined were not as gloriously wonderful as uga '14. To get up off the mat with 18 seconds left in Athens, with those officials, that crowd, and our history of late chokes against the vomit eaters means this will always be my favorite GT game. You cannot appreciate what that means unless you had your heart ripped out in 60, 64, 71, 76, 78, 83, 91, 95, 97, 06, 09, and 13. I can take a loss like a man, but a dozen times in the 50+ years I've followed the Jackets, the games slipped away usually in the most painful fashion possible just as you began to hope. This team DID NOT let #13 happen. And for that I will be forever grateful. What a game. We also have to fess up that a few of our preseason predictions on this board didn't pan out: - Everybody is just going to line up and run it down our throats with this DL (Chubbs who?) - Godhigh is gone and took all our A Back blocking with him - Looks like the light will never come on for Snoddy - JT is too fragile and won't make it thru an entire season - Chamberlain won't be the starter for long - PJ will never beat the Big 4 in the same season - We own Duke and UNC Mea Culpa - When Georgia Southern had the lead late in the 4th and was driving for the kill, I told my wife, "It will be 4-5 years before we get over losing this game. Johnson is gone and we will have to start over from scratch." Could anyone have predicted then 11 wins and an Orange Bowl victory over the team that spent the most weeks at #1? For the sheer satisfaction and thrill of the ride this year, no team in my memory can match it. [/QUOTE]
