Mark Richt, his staff and the UGA Dawgs have nothing to be ashamed of or make excuses for. CMR is a great coach and UGA is lucky to have him as their HC. Likewise, every member of the UGA team played their hearts out and left it all on the field.
As many of us have said, that game went down to the final play, and it could just as well have been the Tide who were left licking their wounds and commiserating in the loss.
As it is, I feel honored to have watched such a tremendous game played out by two such talented and dedicated teams.
"A game for the ages"? You betcha. RTR
Bama Reb,
I agree. I'm sure glad that I'm happy and they are the ones that are sad today, but the shoe could have been on the other foot. After the late 1990 and early to mid 2000's, I was just sick from Dubose, et al. We SUFFERED for several years because of bad decisions by the GOB's. Thank God Mal Moore hired the very BEST!!!!!!!
I do believe in my heart and soul that the BEST team won this "game for the ages".
Richt made some good calls last night, like that 4th down pass from punt formation. He made a few bad ones like at the end of the game. Wasn't Murray motioning to the sidelines, asking if the coaches wanted him to spike the ball? It looked like it to me. He seems to be a heady player.
Coach Saban had a few bad decisions also, but at halftime he made a GREAT one. We gonna run it down their throats. That must have made Mr. Fluker very happy. However, I could not believe some of the incredible runs that were made by Lacey and Yeldon. There was some great blocking, but there was also some great determination in the runs made by both running backs. And Omari Cooper's cathces, especially the last one was just icing on the Crimson Tide cake.
No one is perfect. However, Coach Saban has to be VERY good to be able to accomplish what he has at Alabama and at LSWho.
I hope I never have to live through another coaching change, but if I/we do, we just need to hire the BEST coach in the USA and have all Bama fans contribute to the war chest. Winning never gets old when it comes to the Crimson Tide.
