King has as many TD passes in 61 attempts this season than he did in 187 attempts at aTm last season. His pick was a batted ball at the LOS. Faulkner and Weinke are gonna do incredible work with King.

I like the way King scans the field. We are completing underneath passes now - which under the previous regime we're almost non-existent.

This will also serve Pyron and Gibson too. High tide raises all ships.
 
Thanks to the portal, our skill positions are the deepest I've seen it. I've NEVER seen us this fast in the two deep at WR since following GT in 1990 as a kid. We have 4-5 guys that can literally break a run in space (and that's not counting Singleton, the true freshman recruit). We have weapons and Cooley is a great addition at RB. He makes Dontae Smith look pedestrian. The move of Haynes to RB is paying off huge dividends. I questioned it at first as to why but I'm not questioning it any longer. These kinds of weapons are part of the reason why King has 7 TDs and 1 INT in two games. If he can stay healthy and continue to distribute ball, he'll have video game stats near the end of the season. I haven't seen a QB that could connect like him since Joe Ham.

Agreed. It's like a basketball team full of studs and a Mark Price/Kenny Anderson to get the ball to them. Credit CBF for moves like putting Haynes at RB where he could touch the ball more. He may not have been able to break through that lineup of WRs we now have. Plus... it gives us another receiver out of the backfield. Most of all, though, CBF is actually using the various weapons he has at his disposal - most notably the TE. When is the last time we had a TE who had TD catches in 2 consecutive games? Early 2000's maybe?

My expectation is that CBF was using the last two games to see who can play and who is just a practice warrior, as well as to get King and the O used to a multifaceted approach. This is what UGAg has been doing the past 3-4 years. Just too many weapons to cover effectively. All it took was a QB who could grasp that and get the ball to them. Well, Haynes King is twice the athlete that SB was. I think Pyron is likely better, too.

We haven't seen an O this diversified since the days of Joe Ham. It will get tougher, for sure, and we'll likely have days that it's like slogging through molasses, depending on the opposing D, but most teams on our schedule this season won't be able to slow it down much, if at all. IMPO, the constraining factor for this team this season is going to be the D and how fast they can grow together and shore things up.
 
What's up with the ref's mic and feedback EVERY SINGLE TIME HE TURNS IT ON? Does nobody up there have any real A/V experience and know how to fix that? Also, the bass is what gets people amped up and moving. The music doesn't have to be ear piercing loud just turn the subs up.

1. Turn down the gain.
2. You realize that our stadium is over 100 years old? That heavy a bass ground wave might crumble some footers. Ha!
 
I hate to give uga credit on anything, but their a/v and music presentation is first class. I’d imagine Alabamas is as as well and JBatt can send someone over there for a game to see what should be done instead of what we are doing.
 
The music was largely terrible, and also too loud and deafeningly trebly much of the time, and I say this as a guy that still goes to a lot of loud concerts.

The uncensored quasi-music they played early in the afternoon was the worst. The best was the R&B oldies they played during the rain delay (Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Aretha, Jackson 5, etc.). Taylor Swift got the studen section dancing. “Pour Some Sugar on Me” got the teenaged Asian girl sitting with her mom near me dancing. Seems like they need to rethink the audience that they’re playing the music for, turn it down a little, and stop doing the thing where they play 2.5 seconds of a song and then either hard stop it or switch to a different song.

The Buzz skits are embarrassing and stupid. The hype man was like “give it up for Buzz” and the stadium was silent afterwards. An intervention is required.

Get offf my lawn!!!!

It's not just as easy as cut the gain but it's fairly simple. Put an RTA on that channel and use parametric EQ to cut the offending frequencies.
 
Wake me up after the big $$$ is out of it, NIL and transfer portal are gone and we’re playing college football again.

We've been floundering in mediocrity for the better part of a decade. I'm ready for something to change to shake things up.
 
SC St had at one point four TfL. Even one of those is one too many.
They ended up with 6, but FWIW, 4 were on tunnel screens and one was on an end around to Leary that were all defended well on the edge. We had one run in the middle to Haynes that was a -1 yard loss. That was really the only true TFL generated by their front 7.

Yep. May come to that, but I'd cut the gain first and see what happens. Many unknowing "techs" use gain like volume not knowing the difference. Next, I'd tweak the EQ to modulate said frequencies. Then, if you need some type of compression, try it. You don't need killer sound out of a ref mic, you just need sound w/o noise or feedback.

Actually, I thought most of the UGA stuff was sub-par. I was surprised. Not saying GT is better or anything and we need a bigger video board. UGA fans like their lame stuff and that is why it works; it wasn’t the production or content.

Clemson had a great in game experience.

Agree it could be a gain issue. I (likely incorrectly) assumed that the gain was properly set on that channel. It very well could not be. It's probably way too hot and you have a fader jockey in there just riding it the whole time the ref is talking.

May be, may not be. But it's the easiest and quickest fix if it's not, IMPO. One way to know it's gain is by the noise. Is the ref's sound distorted? To me, that's usually indicative that the input volume is too high and the signal to noise too low. If not, and if it's high-band feedback, then maybe modulate the EQ the highs.

Anyway, you're dead on, there's no reason to have that happening and a knowledgeable sound tech could easily fix it.

Good info. Not to beat this to death or anything but so if OL basically off the hook then maybe perimeter blocking is on the hook? I recall those screens getting blown up but don't specifically recall any of our WR with a matador cape. It'll be interesting to see the tweaks we put in this week.

Uga turns on the loud as hell bass and music way before kickoff. You can hear it pulsing as you get closer to the stadium and it draws people in. We, who have a serious problem with people showing up on time, need to figure out some way to get people in their seats for warmups and having action in the stadium is one way to do it. Their band follows the team in and everything starts there. Our band plays the team in and then dicks around campus for an hour or so before marching in. We should consider marching our band in earlier and let it play in the stands during warmups to get people in sooner.
