Im excited about the Pop Tarts Bowl, that one is usually a banger and the Notre Dame schadenfreude has been excellent. Im actually going to the Texas Bowl, hopefully to watch the swamp kittens get their shit pushed in by a lowly Big 12 squad. Kicking the day off with a Pinstripe Bowl between preseason juggernauts will also be good. All in all, it’s going to be a really fun day of football.
This right here. If Tre had an elite talent, it was patience. He was great at finding holes that the defense left open against our zone blocking.
Thats a good trait, but I would still prefer our RB1 to have traits like “speed” and “strength”.
Sad to see him go, but let’s wish him well and find an upgrade.
I'd take it a step further and saying that beating OSU in the early season non-con has a connection to playing in this bowl game. The extra practices matter. Going into the off season with a confidence building win matters. Letting the young guys play in the spotlight matters. Playing in this bowl game and giving reps to guys who will be starters next year is a good thing for the team and will contribute to our success next season. Arch isn't made of glass and players want to play.
Livingstone and Wingo are still here. Our young LBs who will lead the room next season are still here. KJ Lacey is still on the team.
What are you talking about?
He's saying nice things about a guy he's been friends with since they were teammates and roommates at UGA. That doesn't make Smart a good guy, he's still a whiny little bitch.
Even Hitler was nice to his dog.
Woof. On the one hand, I understand being impressed that a guy worked through his grief to make your son a priority. On the other hand - no shit dude wants to meet with you face-to-face. Your son is the best players on his roster and a massive flight risk.
I remember that. I wanted to tell that guy that it's okay to be wrong sometimes, you just need to own it and move on. But he kept doubling down and I couldn't think of a way to tell him to let it go without talking down to him.
This right here. Dude came in with his hand out and claiming to be Mr. Team First then proceeded to do stupid shit and drop balls.
It's the bullshit. That's my problem with him. He put himself out there as the next leader in team culture and the guy who would do the dirty work. He set expectations and then fell well short of them.
I'm not even talking about the drops - although they were frustrating - I'm talking about the boneheaded shit he did that fucked us over and let opponents stay in games. Team leaders put in the off the field work to make sure that kind of shit doesn't happen. Not when you're in year 3 of your career.
Worthy extorted us for money every off season, but he backed it up on the field and never pretended to be something he wasn't. Whittington never put up gaudy numbers but he also never demanded a gaudy salary and you could tell that he was an actual team leader who put the team first. And that's just thinking about the WR room.
Dude is just a massive disappointment in every respect.
