I essentially stated 4 facts:
1) I've been watching this sport for over 40 yrs.
2) UGA is a tough, solid football team, but are continuously over rated and that their fan base is one of the top 5 most delusional fan bases. Rating those fan bases (Notre Dame is by far the king of delusional fanbases, followed by UGA, Clemson, Florida, and Texas.)
3) I stated (at the time) that UGA had 4, possibly 5 games left and they would end up right back in the same position they ALWAYS wind up in. I stated they'd lose a minimum of 2 the rest of the way....putting them out of the play offs and right back into a meaningless bowl game that no one will remember 3 weeks after it's over. In essence = same ol' same ol' UGA.
4) I stated that each team has their own DNA (as it were) and that UGA's DNA is simply not elite, has not been elite in 3, going on 4 decades now.....and that they are who they are. I said it didn't matter who the coach was. Richt, the Booboo clan, hell, they could dig up Vince Lombardi and it wouldn't make one ounce of difference because UGA is simply not championship material and haven't been in the modern era of football. And they won't be any time soon.
I was called "deranged" by one guy...lol, among other things. Was told my football knowledge was ridiculous, etc, etc. Was told that "This isn't your grandma's bulldogs." and I stated that their "schedule" has not impressed me one little bit. Anyway, they finally played a good team with the same outcome as always: They got their asses handed to them. Same ol' UGA.
Let's recap the highlights of this season shall we? We start with an unranked Noodle Lame team who manages to creep into the rankings at #24 when they played UGA. Of course UGA won by 1 point. So that means the next week, Notre Dame would have fallen out of the polls.....again. Yet about 7 short weeks later, we're supposed to actually "buy" the selection committee's BS that now they're a legit #3 team??
Let's look at something else the selection committee tried to sell us: They tried to actually make us believe that a UGA team....who has done NOTHING in the past 5 years, was actually better than Bama.....and we know Bama's 5 year history.......all I could conclude was that the selection committee is smoking some seriously good crack , or, I had entered an alternate football universe where facts suddenly didn't matter.
Either way, bottom line: UGA is exactly who I said they were. Noodle Lame got exposed for 4,000th time, again, last night because they finally played a well coached and athletic team. And I saved the best for last: I'm really happy for Mark Richt. He paid his dues and proved he's a hall of fame coach, and now, finally, he's actually at a University with Definite Championship DNA.
When someone who has 40 years experience watching this sport tells you something, you might want to listen to them, especially when they're right. I'll begin accepting apologies now.....
Oh, 5) I also said it was going to feel great to tell all of you "I told you so." Turns out, I was right about that too.
