| GAME THREAD 🏈 SEC Championship 🏈 ~ Georgia vs Alabama : 4:00 ET on CBS

[UAgrad93]

Man, to go back between weeks 3 and 4 and see what this board thought about this group. We were all wondering and thinking 9-3 might be the best we get out of them, but 8-4 seemed more likely. This has to be Saban’s best coaching job!!!!

“We block out all external factors. We knew we had to make our statement today. Especially when you got guys like David Pollack saying that the standard is Georgia. The standard can only be imitated, not replicated. There’s only one Alabama and it’s always gonna be one Alabama,” Booker said.

Love this from Booker. Remember when Nick Saban was at the CFB Championship last year? Pollack went on a rant recently also about how Georgia is the gold standard.

Fool Gold!

I don’t know if we get in or not, but this team will be scary good with a month of practice at the rate they have been improving.

WITH rest.

Interesting in the end that what we thought would be one of the strengths of the team really did become that. The OL really turned the corner and just keeps getting better and better. Give all of those guys credit for continuing to work. The Freshman LT has come a looooooong way. Give that kid some credit.

The DL also played much better in this game than last week. Crazy how that can happen because they were porous last weekend then this weekend they controlled the line of scrimmage. LB play was also much better.

Never would have thought we would have controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides but Bama did.

I don't think there's any way you leave out a 1 loss SEC champ.

The way I see it:

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama

5. Georgia
6. FSU


Se we get Harbaugh then a likely rematch with Texas.

Anybody heard a peep out of Pollack? Should we call in a welfare check?

Yep. He said UGA lost the game - Bama didn’t win it.
I don’t have a lot of respect for someone who can’t admit when they are wrong.

Running about 50/50 among those witha voice...

But if you went with 4 best.....and throw out the other factors...

1 being who you think would win on neutral field..

Bama
Georgia
Michigan
Texas

1-4

We should have a thread wagering if they leave us out or not.

Booker is a bad ass. Highly intelligent to play like he does and then to speak to these particulars on a guy like Pollack that is nowhere to be found these days.

Well… I would kinda “agree” with him. Bama didn’t play as good as the could have. We made mistakes… but overcame. This game swung on about 3 or 4 plays that went our way. uGA definitely had the chance to win, so one could say they “lost” the game, but UA definitely “won” the game by making the plays they needed to.

David Pollack's opinion ranks up there with Danny Kanell's opinion, in my opinion.

 

[footballer]

There are reasons why we won and reasons why they lost. That's every game ever played.

Alabama got the ball back on their own 25 & NEVER gave it back to UGA . When that happens, you have WON the game, it wasn’t given to you.
* We dropped 3 picks, so I’d argue that WE kept Georgia in the game!

UGA had 5 penalties and Bama had 3. Use Pollacks words Kirby was out coached…. He implied UGA had not struggled with issues but Bama had and coaching was the reason. It goes both ways..

With that said Pollack in this case is an excuse maker. Excuse makers never accept their part of the problem so it does not get fixed.

Full disclosure I have always been a fan of pollack.
