In 1 1/2 years, through good coaching, good player evaluation, and recruiting, Grantham has taken a Defense that was fatally ill and depleted of personnel, and turned it into a Defense that, IMO, is on the brink of being very good. He's still short a few pieces, but I am impressed.<br /><br />We could really use the same kind of fix on the offensive side. Our QB coaching is good, but our evaluation (in particular), recruiting, overall coaching, and OC performance is south of par.<br /><br />I'd like to think I'm wrong about that. But realism prevails, and I can't help think of how good we could be if these offensive problems were corrected, as Grantham corrected the Defense.<br /><br />I hope this move happens, because then Richt's overhaul would be complete.<br />~~~IveyLeaguerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407856898971061522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-12951531057459709712011-07-15T08:46:47.595-04:002011-07-15T08:46:47.595-04:00That ended well.That ended well.AthensHomerDawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-55843383245224955662011-07-15T00:22:47.678-04:002011-07-15T00:22:47.678-04:00While we are all "huggies", let me infor...While we are all "huggies", let me inform you that I am aware that I am a poor writer and just enjoy reading other Dawgs's comments, mostly for the gems of humor that crop up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-51068933738125646082011-07-14T18:11:22.934-04:002011-07-14T18:11:22.934-04:00I apologize if you think that my adding (sic) was ...I apologize if you think that my adding (sic) was intended to show any sort of "gotcha" or malice towards the spelling. I actually misspelled it myself when quoting it, but decided that instead of correcting it for you, i just added that in there to keep the original quote. Truthfully, I just didn't want to correct it and you take offense to that. Looking back on it, I shouldn't have done either and just typed it out as it was. Now, that's going to come back and bite me because I'm typing this response on my iPhone, where there will be NUMEROUS errors. <br /><br />Thanks for clarifying all that though because I liked the previous comment and this one as well. I just wanted to be painfully clear as to my intent with this post and move on from there. You're a DGD, I can tell and I just wanted you to know that I think we're on the same page about a lot of stuff, like you just mentioned.Ludakithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984696032931793148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-70563272188464562572011-07-14T17:20:48.588-04:002011-07-14T17:20:48.588-04:00I should have known better to qualify my use of &q...I should have known better to qualify my use of "you" and "yours", but thought that you(Ludakit) would pick and choose that very little was aimed at you personally because I read your intent.<br /><br />You did post a poster's "Downer List" and said you agreed with it because everything was factual. My point was that these lists serve no purpose to informed readers and is often used to stretch into negative remarks toward team and coach.<br /><br />I gave you a quote from an article 2 days ago(by Tesla) that illustrated the extremism of synapse concerning negative comments. Tesla appologized for using words specifically about one running back , but didn't think twice about the second one mentioned for the worst of reasons..an opinion from a couple of other guys. This was my example offered to bolster an unstated premise that actual harm can be distributed under the aegis of "give and take" concerning opinions. Who wants to harm their team on a blog? Several people gave replies that they wouldn't visit his work anymore, while I, similar to you, wanted him to understand the error of such remarks. Those people who felt it was over the top were assailed as Kool aid drinkers, homers,and other descriptions that were supposed to nullify those who disagreed about negativism. They were insulted as to being weak, timerous of the facts and delusional because they didn't like it. I was only trying to show you that the generalization of fans's intents was to ridicule them for not being "big boys" and being too sensitive. <br /><br />Since the quotes weren't on your site (I mistyped "this" for "his") it was presumptive of me to think that you would know that from the previous sentence. I apologize for my error because it was not my intent. Yes, I used an "e" where there should have been a "i", but again by not reading the preceeding(sic) sentence you(Luducrit) didn't know it wasn't referring to you(Ludecrit) Just kidding (see what level we(you and me) have degenerated...). Just when you think you are communicating(there goes that "you" thing again) you (oops!) find that not to be true.<br /><br />I apologize for lack of clarity in my second sentence concerning the use of "you" and "yours". <br /><br />I don't use Spellcheck(?), but also acknowledge that of others in other posts. Quoted a sentence the other day where a "t" was omitted from "not", but placed it on there for him anyway because it didn't affect the intent or meaning by the writer. I inadvertently may spell by sound and not catch it on review (use of "their" and "there" most often and I cringe for the writer when they are misused), but I see that others make the same mistake so I don't get all pedantic about it. To each his own. <br /><br />We are probably at cross purposes accidentally while agreeing with each other. I hope we have a "No harm, no fowl(sick)" rule here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-1573598706211145082011-07-14T15:55:53.242-04:002011-07-14T15:55:53.242-04:00Anon @ 3:17:

I agree that it's detrimental to the team and the psyche of the lockerroom in general to sit back and toss out blanket statements about Richt's job security and the caliber of players that are suiting up for Georgia.<br /><br />I didn't highlight the comment and dedicate a post to it because I agreed with it. In fact, I am of the opposite opinion. As Kyle King has stated many times on the podcast, things are never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem.<br /><br />The reason I highlighted the comment is because I believe that when it comes to this team, this year, it's almost political in the mindset. We're spending more time disagreeing and attacking each other's opinions rather than admitting that we all just want things to get better and get back to winning again. To borrow another line (this one from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), "your side hates my side because you think we think you're stupid, and my side hates your side because we think you're stupid."<br /><br />There are three segments of the Bulldog Nation at this moment. The first wants Mark Richt to bring this program back to its winning ways. The second wants Richt fired because they believe change is needed to get it back to its winning ways. The third doesn't care how it happens, they just want it to get back to its winning ways. What do they all have in common? They want the program to get back to its winning ways.<br /><br />Your comment has certain parts of it that allude to me being a naysayer and irresponsible with my content. When you say things like "you simply make bad news more depressing when you don't support what we have" and "that is disengenuous (sic) and cowardly and deserves no place on this site," you imply that I am not only out for Richt's head, but I'm also loose with the content I allow here.<br /><br />Let me assure you that you're wrong in both cases. Not that I need to defend my writing to anyone, but if you must, take a read of this post at the old site which is the exact opposite of everything you just claimed (http://dawggoneblog.beyondthetrestle.com/content/things-i-will-not-do). You'll see pretty blatantly that I'm always in the corner of this team. ALWAYS.<br /><br />All that being said, I agree with most of what you wrote. I stated as much above. It's time for all this talking to end and we need for fall camp to begin. I want to know how good this team is and I'm tired of guessing. We're all ready for a little change of this offseason scenery.Ludakithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984696032931793148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-1690556031466838722011-07-14T15:17:13.155-04:002011-07-14T15:17:13.155-04:00This is Cojones.

The words "you/yours" used herein are collective and not necessarily aimed at this author, but pick'em as you see'em.<br /><br />We post anonymous because that's the only choice we have save giving one's address and personal data to facilitating sites that can then send all the mail solicitations and all the spam one's computer can handle.<br /><br />We are aware of the info posted and have digested it for days before you decide to have a "Downer's List" to remind us of the depressing news. We read and we can think and form our own opinions about the news/stats that you and several others think a refresher course with your added negative slant gives further info. Thank you, but we really don't need it. Stating downer facts over and over adds nothing to our search for Dawg information.<br /><br />When someone replies with the positive take on the same info and who supports their conclusions with the facts, your reply is laced with putdowns and innuendo. If we think enough of our time to reply, we are reaching out for you to understand that your premise adds nothing to our fan knowledge. You take the data and color our entire team with it. You do not call attention to the rest of the positive players who are worthwhile getting to know and you further stretch bad news to include coaches.<br /><br />Please understand me. I am speaking generally of all the negative/downer posts that you seem to think elutes positive rants. Bad news and bad luck we can interpret. We don't need your negative stretch to players's and coaches ability. Because you purposefully refrain from knocking the staff and team in this post doesn't mean that you are not knocking those who reply to your incorrect conclusions and witch hunts. When bad luck and circumstances affecting the team and coaches are used to further deteriorate our funk, we respond with the same tone that we perceive in your words. When posters use this info to attack our players and coaches(that many posters fail to realize are in a funk as well) then, yeah, we get upset. We are fans being fans. All of you need to look up the word "fan" in the dictionary. Really!!<br /><br /> Our passionate pride for our school is reflected by our team and coaches. When we read of them being attacked(our perception of words used as weapons that reflect inaccurately and unfavorably on them) we try to let the poster know the error of his/her perceptions.That we take the time to reply is not a game. If this is for "key-strikes" money in soliciting our team-defensive replies, then shame on you for using us when we perceive you to be honest and deserving of a reply.<br /><br />Calls for coaches jobs and careers are insensitive about our team's psyche and insulting at its best because our University pays an AD and a large staff to consider these actions on the school's and alumni's behalf. You don't got shit to do with it when you lob Molotov Cocktail-invectives and insults. You insult the intelligence of alums and fans who visit this site to get information. We don't give a crap about your opinion of their abilities. When you give coaching/situational advice in anti-coach/team posts, we would like to see your credentials that rise above the ones you criticize. One poster 2 days ago used "sucks" to describe the ability of a runner...and in the same sentence acknowledged that he didn't know the player nor his abilities. He referred to "other people" as a group for his "informative opinion". That is disengenuous and cowardly and deserves no place on this site.<br /><br />Instead of threatening our football staff, I think that you should be threatened for your job or ability. Then you might show some sensitivity toward others and the pleasure we incur by cheering for the Dawgs. LET THE ONES IN CHARGE AND PAID TO MAKE HIRING/FIRING DECISIONS DO THEIR JOB. They need no help from you, me or others in performing their jobs. You simply make bad news more depressing when you don't support what we have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-32299424040519598212011-07-14T12:06:49.922-04:002011-07-14T12:06:49.922-04:00I don’t like the anon approach either and yes that...I don’t like the anon approach either and yes that was a very reasonable post that you responded to. Not Richtophobic at all. I hated all that gator chomping after the overtime fg at Florida. Then the walk back to the parking area for a quick snack waiting for the traffic to die down before that ride back up the interstate. Stopping for gas along the way…. Dog Flags still flying from the windows. And then that snarky comment from a fellow customer…..”Where you going Georgia?” Sigh! You know the drill. So where is that line that you mustn’t cross least you become that JO in the stands yelling at Coach Bobo in the company of his Boo-Bird associates. Losing ain’t fun. Last season wasn’t fun. It’s hard to stay on top of coaching excellence for long anymore. About 6 years seems about right now a days. We all got favorites and we all want the guy in the white hat to win….and celebrate a happy ending. Georgia has taken some hits, losing precious depth and personnel. Hope the D shows up! But I am always encouraged by this from someone who has been in the arena:<br /><br />I believe in Bobo. I believe in Richt. I believe in the Dawgs.<br />And I don't give a damn if you don't.<br />Go Dawgs.<br />Posted by Ben Dukes at 12:18 PM <br />Wednesday, July 13, 2011<br />Who says we have to have a feature back<br />http://dawgsview.blogspot.com/2011/07/who-says-we-have-to-have-feature-back.htmlAthensHomerDawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014847828864380944.post-27312474861823689312011-07-14T10:30:57.267-04:002011-07-14T10:30:57.267-04:00A.

Post under "Dawgman1980" or whatever as consistently and often as you like... still anonymous.<br /><br />B. Anyone who cites "wins versus teams who finished in the top ten" as a relevant statistic is an idiot. Generally, if you beat the team they fall out of the top ten unless you're the only team to beat them, which is not in your control. If you lose they stay in it. Very very simple concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
