Tiger 8,820 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Rivalry games are for things like this. Funny thing is Gus didn't even want to throw vs UGA last season with Malik in there. I would've rather he had the stones to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the throat slit gesture was childish and uncalled for. He should be reprimanded by uga and maybe miss the next game and give an apology.

He could’ve had a 20 point lead. But nope, he chose a low percentage play and ended up with less points. Good job bowl cut boy. I differ.. I like the call. UGA - until they play Bama - is in a beauty contest jockeying for a top four finish. In today's environment, how much these teams win by matters, unfortunately. All the top four teams won by 20+ this weekend. Plus, UGA was getting three points automatically with their kicker.. they took a risker play with lower percentage of being successful which would have produced a winning margin of six more (vs three and w/o point after). who really cares about three more points when a field goal was a given...?

If you’re going to run the score up, play aggressive within your offense (same unit that is actually successful at scoring TDs.) Using that trickery shat lower percentage play not only raises the eyebrows much more than just playing hard until the final whistle, but it also alerts Bama to BOLO for it. Georgia has no need to be looking for beauty points anyways. They already have one loss are still ranked number 5. If they remain with one loss and beat an undefeated Bama, they’re automatically in. If they lose, they’re automatically out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredst 9,064 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Playing hard and continuing to push to score with starters or backups no matter the score is fine with me, whether you are on the good or bad side of it. Tubs was notorious for going into a shell instead of going for the throat and it drove me crazy. Running trick plays in the last 3 minutes when you’re up 17? That’s bush league if you ask me. And, no I don’t think Saban (or the devil himself as some here like to think of him) would make that call- and I hope AU doesn’t in a similar situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a good coach, we would have a backup slinging the ball around every time when the game is already won. I have no problem with that. Seems to me that coaches used to have more respect for each other and there were unwritten rules. Now everything is cut throat. Did y’all hear how Kirby stole Fromm from Bama? He illegally took a picture of Bama’s recruiting board and showed Fromm where Fromm was on the list. He did that to his own mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a douchebag that guy is-he’ll get his someday.... I’ve been told this was true by several bama fans. This is an excerpt by Aaron Suttles on some Tidesports website: ATLANTA — In the transition period between when Kirby Smart served as Alabama’s defensive coordinator and simultaneously as Georgia’s head coach in the winter of 2015, things got weird and feelings got hurt between Smart and the Crimson Tide program he served for nine years. The Tuscaloosa News learned that on his way out the door, Smart took a picture of Alabama’s recruiting board, which hangs in the inner sanctum of the Alabama football building, and showed it to recruits who weren’t necessarily at the top of that board. His message was simple: Alabama doesn’t want you as much as it says it does. Multiple people close to the Alabama program told The Tuscaloosa News that same story, but none wanted to go on record about it. I can link it.

Also I always agree with what Spurior said one time when he was asked about running the score up. Not only did he mention the remark about his job to score yours to stop. He also mentioned that it didn’t matter if it’s the second team or walk-I s, if they are on the field their job is to score. He didn’t want to send somebody in and them just wimp around because the next week they might bring that same attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Maybe I should be more clear but it sure looked like his dad was doing a throat cut pantomime when they showed him in the stands as Swift was running to score. Am I wrong at what I saw or are their folks that think that’s ok? I know that kids get thrown out of games for it are parents not held to the same standard ?

I think you’re correct, but Gus has fire in his belly when playing Arky. Not so much against UGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. My main point is that if you giggled when we did that to poor ole Arky nobody should be feeling sensitive about it when we are on the wrong end of a butt kicking.
