Hyped for the season

[FlatsLander]

Yes, the refs were abysmal, but the fact of that matter is that we needed UGA to inexplicably do a squib kick, drive into field goal range in about 20 seconds, and hit a 50+ yarder with a college kicker JUST to get to overtime. Same with Georgia Southern, they were about to ice the game when they fumbled in the redzone. Those weren't just close games we won, they were miraculous.

2014 is not a team to go "what-if" over. 2014 was the what-if scenario. That was a great, fun team with an elite offense, but there are a lot of great, fun teams that peter out to 7-5 and 8-4 every year. We had something seriously clicking by the UGA game but the team was very fragile for most of the year and we're fortunate that they didn't blow the season early on.

I'd say the GSU fumble was an earned play by our defense. Jamal Golden had the presence of mind to cover the pitch man and also watch the ball and slap it down while it was in the air. The squib from u[sic]ga is hilarious as well as them calling a timeout before Butler's kick. It looked to me like we weren't going to get the snap off in time, but their timeout saved us.

Looking forward to being in BDS. Traveling with my daughter’s family to see her ECU Pirates take on App State in Charlotte on Thursday then on to the ATL for our opener. Go Pirates and Jackets!

We were pretty dominant the second half of the season. After the UNC loss, our only loss was the ACCCG, and UGA was the only win of the remaining six that was close.

A few days left to go, keep up the hype.

Have a good trip. Have to admit though I’ll be pulling for App.
