Offseason STILL sucks

So it's Sunday, June 27th and September 4th is still a really long way off. I need a second wind. I'm resigned to watching reruns of the Dogs. At the moment I'm watching us pimp slap Tech at Tech last year. I was there. I was also incredibly tanked. I had no business weaseling my way down into the GT student section but I did. Truthfully, I felt a little guilty about being the dumb jackass Georgia fan in the GT section but I also remember being in Athens and allowing a bunch of smarmy GT fans to crowd into our section where they didn't belong. They proceeded to talk smack, talk down, and generally act as if their shit didn't stink. So...I say we're even.

This coming year I ask only THREE things:

1- Run the freakin ball. Ealey and Caleb King are both freaks. Let them carry the load.
2- Play good D. Learn and execute the new system.
3- Reduce dumb penalties to a manageable level. Dumb penalties kill us. Period.
Ok 4 things...what can I tell you:
4- Turnovers. We were terrible in turnover margin. Stop it. Get some damn take aways, will ya?

For what it's worth, as I'm watching this Ga/Ga Tech replay...I just saw the field goal by Walsh that put us up 27-17. I saw a SINGLE set of arms rise up signaling a good field goal in a sea of GT fans. I am 110% positive that those were my arms and it made me simultaneously cringe and laugh. What an asshole I am. Ha!
