I’m probably going to get flamed so hard for daring to defend the man, but I get his point. For the record, he didn’t say that Georgia was the more talented team. He said they were the better team “on Monday night.” Big difference between the two statements. Honestly though, I can’t disagree with him regarding the majority of the game. They dominated the game for the first 3 quarters. We trailed for what, 45-50 minutes? We tied it for the first time since the 1st quarter with what, 3 minutes to go? We took the lead for the first time since 2 minutes in when we won it in OT. For the majority of the game they out gameplanned us and out executed us.
Does that matter? Not one bit. We were the better team when the game was on the line. Our coaching and execution reached the peak of brilliance when we were backed against the wall. Which makes Finebaum’s point largely irrelevant.
Also, I realize it is none of my business what others think or do, but frankly I think this board’s level of outrage over media opinions reaches a severe level of futility. Who cares what the dude with the microphone thinks? He’s just a guy with an opinion, no different than the rest of us. He just happens to sit in front of a camera and poor lighting when he says it.
We just won one of the games of the decade. Yet I’ve still seen so many people butthurt over what Lebatard, or Tebow, or McElroy, or Finebaum, or (insert D list media person here) have said. None of it matters. There’s a reason Saban refers to it as rat poison, and some of y’all seem to be ingesting a lot of it. Just enjoy the moment and stop worrying about what a hack with a microphone thinks.
There, off my soapbox. This isn’t pointed at anyone directly, and no slight is intended. It just puzzles me how bent out of shape I’ve seen people getting over such inconsequential opinions.
