Let the bowl smack talk begin
Though its too late for Tech fans, who saw their Jackets lose to an unranked 7-5 Utah team in overtime in the Sun Bowl and Auburn fans, who saw their War Eagle Tiger Plainsmen beat a 7-5 Virginia team that lost to Tech during the regular season 42-23 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, its time to talk smack about the remaining bowl schedule.

Record: 3-14 (GO DAWGS, LOL).
I also enjoyed the comedy of the interviews after some of the games, of the coaches and the players. I know the excitement of winning caused alot of the humor which is understandable.
I just found it amusing the terms of er, ugh, you know, you know what I am saying, all being used in one sentence, made it difficult to understand in some cases.
Not being condesending, just amused.
Dawg fans know that MR is a great guy on a personal level, but he has been exposed as a head coach. He kicked-but before Meyer, Saban, & Miles came into the league. But, it was all down hill from that point forward.
Another embarrassing loss in the Outback Bowl to remind the fans that the problems that have plagued the Dawgs for the last 4-5 years, just all of a sudden, haven't disappeared...
A horrible OL, a running game that doesn't exist, a QB that implodes under pressure, an OC that makes you scratch your head, and say what was he thinkin' (although, that OC is running MR's offense), while MR just stands on the sideline scratchin' his head (dumbfounded), & wondering what to do next.
MR is inline to have his contract extended, but McGarity would be a fool to agree to any type of significant buyout clause. Mark it down, CMRs days are numbered at UGA.
Fix the defense, then the special teams go in the tank. Fix the special teams, and then the offense becomes inept. And, on-&-on it goes... What's next...
Alabama (Great talent & coaching every year. No dropoff in sight). > Check.
Florida (Great talent every year. Jury still out on new coaching staff). > Check.
UGA (Very good talent every year. Coaching has regressed, especially on the offense & special teams). > Check.
USCe (Good talent most years. Coaching is good, overall). > Check.
Auburn (Good talent most years. Coaching is good-to-average, overall). > Check.
Arkansas (Good talent most years. Coaching is good-to-average, overall). > Check.
Tennessee (Talent is down from years past. Coaching is questionable at this point). > Check.
Vandy (Academic standards prevent them from getting an overload of SEC talent. Coaching appears to be improved...). > Check.
Miss. St. & Ole Miss (Talent about average for an SEC team. Coaching is fair-to-middlin', but not too bad). > Check.
Kentucky (Talent about average for an SEC team. Coaching is average for the lower tier Sec teams). > Check.
Texas A & M & Missouri (Jury is out on talent & coaching, until they play in the conference for a couple of seasons). > Check.
