I don't have Tijuana optimism either. Spent the weekend up in the Gainesville area and some of Sunday with some of the old money BullGators. They hate him, but in all honesty they hate a lot of Yankees. But on the level of hate Stricklin might be higher on the list, most of the feeling he is just a worthless piece of schit.

This the best news I've heard. I'd really like to see stricklin out the door before we hire another coach

Watch UGA schiff the bed and we walk away with a close one

This would actually piss me off worse because he can get it together to beat UGA, but gets beat by lesser talent. Inconsistent.

I'm not sure I have Law's optimism that Dan and Co. are gone this season but I do think certain things seem to be setting up for his exit.

I don't know that they will fire Mullen this year, but I do think it is inevitable.

He literally beat them on their 4th string QB, once in 4 years.

For the QB’s, AR showed what we have been expecting. When he is given a wider playbook, he moves the offense. He also makes some freshman mistakes. EJ has been making the same mistakes, but there is a difference between a 4th year guy and a 2nd year guy whose first offseason and pre-season was impacted by Covid. I expect some INT’s as part of his growing pains. I do not expect Jones to lead the SEC in picks. I hope the best for EJ, but as Shannon Snell tweeted, “15’s job. 15’s job. 15’s job. End of story.”

This is what I've been saying since game 2. From what I've seen so far, AR has the higher ceiling and if he's making the same and/or less mistakes than the guy who's been here 4 years already, then it's time to admit the guy who's been here 4 years isn't progressing to the point he needs to be to lead an SEC team to a title contention. Play the guy with the higher ceiling and take your lumps as he learns the ropes. Manage him so he doesn't get discouraged by the mistakes.

There are a lot of places, including on this board where you can see Grantham’s massive failure in this game to adjust, to LSU running variations of the same call and us not stopping it and other things, so I won’t bore you with too much detail.

I thought the Defense has been much improved this year and the stats seem to point to that but holy hell, how do you not adjust to stop the ONE run play that keeps gashing your Defense all day? Over, and over, and over again! Pathetic coaching!

The real difference between the defense last year and the defense this year is the offense. Last years offense could score in less than a minute, where it takes more time off the clock this year. So the defense isn't on the field on as much, so they are less exposed than last year. Like the stats from 2018/2019 where the offense ate more clock.

EJ might make a nifty receiver. He is definitely faster than two of our starters and explosive out of cuts.

I wonder what happened to the Foley mantra “ What needs to happen eventually must happen immediately.” Since we all know Foley is still an influence, one would think he would be pushing for action.
I am hoping that the delay is a sign that Scottie is going too

If they are going to do it this year, I have to believe that it will happen after the beat down from Ugly. If somehow we win that I will celebrate. But I will cry on Sunday because it means we got him for another year.

If a miracle should happen Jacksonville, would this be the first time GC had a meltdown after beating the dwags?

I've been there with you for the first QB since that time as well. In fact, I tweeted "QB Competition Over" after AR's 75-yard TD pass against USF after Jones had gone 3 and out and then relied on Pierce for a short field drive for a TD on the second series.

Paragraph 2, stats point to that because we faced questionable offenses in FAU, USF, Tennessee (who flipped a switch after our game, but Pitt did to them what we did before us), Kentucky, and Vandy. There are repeatable skills I have seen from the DB's that I have liked and seen improvement, but schematically, no. The repeatable skills are the ones I outlined last week such as DB's using correct leverage, Torrence's downhill tackling (we missed him a LOT after his injury), and some press technique.

I know this conflicted feeling, but anyone who meltdowns because we win is soft.

Neil W. Blackmon wouldn't be one of said lawyers would he? I need to sue that guy Jerky Boys style! ;)

No, Neil was before my time. I went with @157Gale who is pretty popular on the Twitter machine though.

You should PM J about the tie breakers scenarios bc you two think the same way.

Totally detached from reality.

AR had a solid chance at being one of those "freshman" QBs that improve dominating while learning. Where would we be now.?

... FROM THE SAME RB from the same launchpoint.?

Tie breakers??? Detached from reality? Because posters here (including me) would be disappointed in keeping CDM another year? Too much rum??
