If You Need A Reason - Part 2

It's gettin' ugly in the chat rooms on ESPN. Check out this gem from a turd swallowing gonad calling himself, get this, the Boise Gentleman.

HERE IS HIS RUNDOWN:

This game is a serious clash of blue collar VS entitlement issues.


Not 1 Georgia fan feels they have to "earn back" what they lost. They earned it once, and that's it. Teams don't have to keep up that level of effort.


The name alone should earn them a win... what a crappy fan base. AND! The players suffer from this syndrome! That is where the fans learned it from.


I am sorry Georgia fans, I really am for you. Because you guys were so dominant! You've earned a TON of respect and swagger from many years of great football seasons. All of that has led you to the notion that this will be a cakewalk. When in reality, none of those years were earned from any of these players on your roster today. All the trash talking... all the cockiness, will all make it that much harder when you are dealt a loss.


Have a little humility yourself. Last year should have been the ideal wake up call on behalf of all your program represents. But, as we can clearly see, the UGA faithful have learned nothing from it. As if last year never happened! Somehow, it is 1980 every year for most of you folks! This is the basis for my sorrows to you all. That negligence of failure is a coping mechanism to distorting the false reality of power.


Even worse, there seems to be no target of acceptance that things have changed anywhere near the foreseeable future. All hope on that obvious mental fiasco is long gone. I mean, it isn't like only a few of you have this faulty belief... It's nearly all of you! Almost like a suicide religious cult... and all of you, are holding cups. Right before kickoff, you will have the free will to take a step back and get a better, more clear understanding of the true state of things with your football program. The time for entitlement and feeling like you no longer have to work for it is over!


Every last one of you make your program look out of touch and classless. Imagine a brand new (independent) fan comes into these boards, and is deciding what team to root for. How you act, and what you say goes a long way in whether or not Georgia makes a new fan. If I had no dog in the fight, I sure as heck would not become a Georgia fan based on what you all type. You sound like a bunch of obnoxious fools, always putting people down. Disrespectful and in denial of last year.


As I said before, I am truly sorrowful of any Georgia fan who still feels like they are better than someone else. Some much needed respect is due from your corner.

If You Need A Reason

I'm waking up from a long slumber. I haven't really turned my attention to the Dogs yet. This past week I've been on ESPN chatting about the upcoming game. It doesn't take much to realize that Bronco fans have already checked off a "W". For most, it seems the only choice left for the season is which BCS bowl they'll be winning. They're unbelievably cocky. Yes, they have been a good club for a few years but sheesh...it's getting to be a bit much.

In case you think I'm overstating it...please watch the presentation below. Yes...they are serious.

Snore Fest

My goodness....this post is an act of desperation. It's like putting a mirror under a guy's nose to make sure that he's still breathing.

Hockey is done. NBA is done. MLB is in the boring stretch. The NFL is not going to happen this year.

Yikes.

This is the blogpost from the Antarctic outpost of sports boredom. It's the blip that lets you know someone is still out there...but they aren't doing anything but existing.

I've been arguing with Pac 10 fans on ESPN chats about bowl games, for God's sake! I'm bored.

Let's get it on. Bring on the Broncos.

I think I may start talking trash on message boards just to rile them up.

"blink twice if you are alive and you can hear me!"...

blink. blink.

...it's all i can muster...

must...maintain...

summer...sucks...

Ealey

News today that Washaun Ealey has been granted unconditional release from the team.

Several things come to mind. First, I am resisting the temptation to immediately jump to the cynical side of the issue (for once in my life). Reading posts on some blogs makes me ashamed to be a Bulldog fan. We don't know for sure why he left. We don't know what was actually said. We just know it didn't work out. Why jump on the guy with both feet?

Secondly, I feel a sense that we actually lost a valuable asset. I know the numbers didn't add up quite yet but I feel his best days are ahead of him.

Thirdly, I am happy to see that the coaches are indicating that they're willing to let talent walk away in order to stay true to the idea that the team is more important.

I wish Ealey the best. I'd like to see him go somewhere else and sort it all out. In the meantime, I look forward to the race to fill the void. Competition should produce nice results. Let's see who steps up.

Halfway There

By my calculations, Wed. May 4th will be the halfway point between the last time the Dogs took the field and the next. Some folks would argue that this is the best part of the sports year. NBA playoffs, The Masters, The Kentucky Derby, NHL Playoffs, MLB just started, the NFL draft is here...lots going on.

Not for me. My real sports season is truly concentrated on a few short Saturdays. I appreciate them at this very moment much more than I do when they arrive.

I know nobody else is counting the days yet...but I am.

I'm ready to shut the Bronco fans up already. Last time I watched a game in the dome I had to suffer celebrating Packer fans. I can't repeat that embarrassment. I want to walk out proudly while people from Idaho curse under their breath...while blue and orange paint mixes with tears running down their sad little cheeks.

Go Dogs. Please practice hard and really show up at the Dome on Sat. Sept. 3rd. See you there.

Spring Thoughts

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'd like to announce that injury season has officially arrived. 18 players missed the latest spring practice and Trinton Sturdivant is out for the season. I feel really bad for this kid. By all accounts, he was on track to be a fantastic lineman with a ton of potential. Perhaps with modern medicine and rehab he can bounce back to normal and get an NFL look.

I hate that I'll miss the G-Day game. Reports from spring practices look pretty good.

This is also the time of year where I sit around and watch YouTube highlights of the Dogs and get stoked for next year. I might actually enjoy it more than the real game because I don't have to curse at the TV during penalties and turnovers.

Russ and the New Recruits

Sad to hear that, yet again, we have lost another UGA. Rest in peace, little fella. Looks like our old pal Russ will fill in for the time being. Russ is not technically qualified to be the mascot but he's really starting to grow on me.

As for the recruiting class, I think CMR reached pretty far up his sleeve to pull this one out. Congrats to their entire staff.

One question that remains from my post about recruiting last February. Will they be coached? Or will they be great athletes that are not utilized to their full potential? When they don't work as a team, the Bulldogs are a .500 team with 5 or 6 dudes that go on to get paid on Sunday. Great for them....not so great for the Red and Black. I put the onus on the coaches.

Let's go boys. Time to hit the weight room. We are no longer a proud program. We're a pretty good program with great upside. Time to coach the players up to the hype you sold them on mom and dad's couch last year. You promised them greatness, now coach them up to it.

Go Dogs.
