Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    Per the discussion below if Kirby fails to deliver I’ll be laughing hard as it would serve right to those that insisted on change.

    Prior to the playoff and following Corch Urban’s lobbying that prevented a OSU vs Meechigan rematch it was a rather easy path to a natty for SEC schools. Each team was spotted 1 to 2 “bad” losses with the SECCG winner earning the right to play for the title. It was done by LSU, Bama, Gatuhs and the Barn. You are ignoring stats and facts if you think it’s all attributable to luck. Kirby will have a harder road in the playoff era, but the window of easy access for SEC champs as passed

    I don’t get the whole, lets stomp our foot and demand championships as the measure of success. There are just too many things that have to fall in place to consider that as the ultimate criteria.

    A great team can lose because of a fumble at the 1 yard line by your best back, a bogus targeting call at exactly the wrong time, or a lousy spot on a 4th and 1. Good but not great teams can win championships by getting a once in a lifetime pass tip for a touchdown, shortly followed by a once in a lifetime 109 yard fg kick return, or a great spot on a 4th and 1.

    It’s the same mindset that says Dan Marino and Jim Kelly were unacceptable QBs because they never won a Super Bowl but Brad Johnson was great because he did.

    I rather think its more like the golfer who says, I just want to be in the mix on Sunday afternoon. They know that the ball can take funny bounces but they just want to be in the mix on the last nine. Even the greatest of them know the putt is going to lip out some times.

    I look at 7 top 10s in 15 years and I think, there is a coach that is consistently putting quality on the field where others choose to look at the failures. To each his own I reckon.

    I guess all the pieces didn’t fall into place. I’ll check back before bed though! GO DAWGS!

    Poole also tweeted and said hope the pieces fall into place but then deleted it
