GT fans are the worst Monday morning coaches!

[kirbee]

Here's a basic summary of the season's analysis:

Games 1 and 2: "We need to open it up! C'mon! How we gonna beat good teams if we don't."

Game 3: "We should've ran it right at them! What the hell is this 5 wide receivers and all these new formations? If we just run...."

Sound about right?

Kirbee,

Everyone is just disappointed. We're not the only fan base that does this after a loss.

A little Monday Morning QB'ing is good to get everything out in the open. Let's just hope we can improve and win against BYU.

BTW, is there a lake that needed rain more than Lake Hartwell? I've never seen that place so low. It looked like a desert out there.

kirbee,

Bugboy and myself were certainly not complaining last week. I loved what we did in the first two games. Nothing fancy just do what you have to do to win. I think that most would say I'm not a Monday Morning basher. I was highly disappointed with what I saw on Saturday, doesn't mean it won't improve next week.

In addition, it's not Monday Morning Quarterbacking when you're upset after the first drive. The bottom line is our coaches did not feel we would be able to run the football effectively against Clemson, and designed a pass happy offense to attack them. Our offense is best when we establish a physical tone and setup some play action stuff. Our Fridge offenses were so effective because you never knew what were going to do based on formation. We've gotten away from it too much.

IMHO, we didn't have a lot of faith in our fullback and I don't believe we thought Hollings would be that effective against them. We choose to play left-handed and paid dearly for it.

I promise you, BOB and Gailey know they screwed the pooch. Let's see how they do on Saturday. I'm not giving up on them, but there is no doubt that the offensive game plan for our first big ballgame was a flop.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">You're not kidding, bug. I cross a backwater of Lake Hartwell going to work each day, and it looks WORSE than a desert: it's been dry so long that grass is growing on the bottom. It looks like a pasture.

Add me to the list of folks who did not complain about the first two games. Heck I've been a proponent for keeping the guys fresh and injury free.

When you play a team with a defense you take what they give you. Clemson could not stop Hollings. Our first couple of series should of tested what they would give and it didn't. We tried to get fancy and open up the playbook in a monsoon.

BOB is a great OC he just made some poor decisions. When all else fails the golden rule is "Keep it simple stupid!"

Re. Lake Hartwell,

You'll be pleased to know the lake level has come up almost a foot since the rains started this past weekend, and might come up some more yet.

We got over 5 inches (or more) over the 2100 sq. mi. watershed area this weekend, and that means a LOT of water running into the lake. It can make a difference, even for a 59K acre lake.

But, it's still over 13 feet below 660ft above msl, which is the optimal level.

Now, we'll see if it maintains, or starts dropping again.

I moved my floating dock out another 3 ft Friday because the floats closest to shore were only in about 1 in. of water. Should have realized I didn't need to. Now, between the move and the lake level rising, that same corner is in about 2.5 ft of water. Busted my 2.5 inch. pump pipe in doing it, and now must repair that before I can run my sprinklers again. Guess it can wait until this Sunday, or maybe another week if we get some natural rain in the interim.
