A Couple of Views


Here's the view from the hotel:

Here's the view from the game:

Here's the view from a confused fan:

How can you win with that many turnovers? How many times can I complain like an old lady that the 2010 Georgia Bulldogs collapse on the absolute verge of success? How many "woulda coulda shoulda" games can we play in?

Couple of random notes:

-the Georgia/Florida game is a great rivalry
-the tailgating at the Georgia/Florida game pales in comparison to any ol' Saturday in Athens
-Jacksonville, Florida is a visually interesting city with a cool layout. The river. The beach. Great concept. Somehow it manages to have no perceptible soul to the average visitor. But hey....thanks a lot for Limp Bizkit.
-The Omni is a decent hotel unless you get the "upgraded" room that I got...meaning absolutely NOT the room I prepaid for a few months ago but rather a smoking room that smells like a witch's taint and has one less bed than the printed confirmation would lead you to believe. I would rather lick a cigar stained ash tray than return to that hotel.
-The Landing is great on Friday afternoon...only. It blows goat from then on...

Alright...I'll finish on positive notes:

-We almost won, even though we didn't play a great game
-Red and Black still kicks the shit out of any team colors anywhere
-we've got great fans, a great band, and a great program...the team is pretty good...it needs to get great to match the rest
-Mark Richt is not on the hot seat. He's been frustrating for a year and a half. Everyone relax. Great coaches have ups and downs like everyone. If we suck ALL YEAR next year...then we can talk.
-Murray had a decent game with a couple bad mistakes. He's a first year starter. It's OK. Everyone relax. It's a big game. A couple of the INT's were tipped. Not the end of the world.
-A fall college football game is and always will be the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
-I'm OK with calling this year the year of Murray's development. Let the kid go wild. Start dialing up crazy plays. Turn him loose. To hell with it. Break all the eggs now.

Go Dogs.

p.s. - We WILL spoil Auburn's season. You heard it here on Oct. 31st.
