Eating Crow

[wesfau2]

I stand corrected, Gus somehow did not piddledick his way into a conservative loss.

That was an impressive win over a conference-foe-hated-rival-#1 team.

Special teams still need work.

Who the FUCK is Jordyn Peters and why was he on the field so much on that first drive?

Otherwise, I have to give credit where it's due: Gus had the team ready to play and has quieted most of my concerns.  Fools gold?  Perhaps, but I'm rattling off some authentic frontier gibberish and panning my stretch of the river hard.

No crow to eat.  The record speaks for itself.  He's been abysmal against highly rated teams the past few years and O'fer against our biggest rivals.  Occasionally, there were legit excuses with injuries at key positions.  More often than not, it was Gus himself screwing the pooch missionary style.  Anyone who had reservations and held their breath going into last night was totally justified.

Now, what it SHOULD have shown CGM is what can happen when you don't coach scared or just plain turn it over to the man you hired to run the offense.  There were numerous plays I've never seen run under Gus.  Faking the jet sweep to Stove then turning and hitting him with a swing pass was brilliant and would have gained big yardage the 2nd time had Stove held on.  Everything they did last night gave Saban's staff an ass load more to scheme for.

I don't have a clue how involved Gus was in the play calling or if it was all Lindsey.  Whatever it was, don't stray from it.  Will we get 40-17 every time with it against really good teams? Probably not.  But I've been saying since the summer, this team is loaded with talent across the board.  Just get em' the damn ball.

That was as satisfying a win as we’ve had in a long time.  Off the top of my head, the last time we really laid a beating like that on what was supposed to be a good team was maybe the 2010 SEC-CG? Or all the way back to Ben Leard over UGA?

As happy as it made me, though, it only magnified the inexplicable failure at LSU. As I was asked by a LSU fanatic late in the fourth, “how the hell did we beat y’all?”  And as I answered (which pissed her off) “no excuse for losing that game..”  Take that cluster fuck away and I’d be good.  This is too talented a team to have two shitty losses.

I was still a little concerned to watch us hand off up the middle over and over late.  But we were getting a push so it worked.  Where I was most encouraged was with the defense keeping its foot on the gas. In 2013, up by 20 we started playing soft and trying to keep everything in front of us.   Near fatal collapse. Did the same against FSU in the title game. I’ve never understood that.  Saw state do it against bama in the last two drives. Why? When you are limiting the opponent to virtually nothing, stay after that ass. That’s what we did until the very last drive — in which they predictably cut us up for a TD — note: it never works, don’t do it. I liked that we kept the heat on. 

Georgia fans today are claiming
a) they did it to themselves with penalties and mental errors
b) Kirby done filed away that challenge and the pass. God help AU if they play us in the CG. They will pay that back double.
c) they are the better team, just had a bad day

I don’t think any of that is true.  They hadn’t played anybody. And it showed.

But somehow Aggie didn't do that to auburn on the road. Uga-logic!

I haven’t seen anything about how WT called it. But that’s understandable.

Not one to gloat. And I know that the closest the audience here has seen to a football field was in the tuba line. Or, maybe the bench, at Carburetor  Polytechnic Institute. So, it’s understandable why I was the one capable of calling the win.

Don’t be haters. Yes, I’m that guy that let you booze up the new chick in HS, then I’d pick her up after she snuck out of the house, after you dropped her off. But I KNOW football.

It should’ve been more than obvious before now but surely it is by now. I knew that they  hadn’t faced a run dominant team that could be balanced. And, stop the run.

So, couple my knowledge with athleticism and guilty. I’m the one who called it.

No need to pay homage. Just kerryon.

WT, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.
