I haven’t commented in a while but I read a lot of what you guys write. I just haven't been able to come up with anything of much good to add and I think all the negative has generally been well covered. jmo.
I think you sort of had to figure there was some smoke early on with the first game that this season might have some issues. Pruitt said he was "tickled" to get the win over South Carolina. I usually associate that expression as being sort of like pleasantly surprised. He followed that up by declaring that our record this year at that point was 1-9 and for us to get to 2-8 we’d have to earn it. That comment was met with some surprise by the guys on I think both the scoreboard show and the Big Orange Hotline.
I was dumbfounded that with a 5-star offensive line we couldn’t run the ball against Georgia. I still don’t get it. He said Kennedy had some issues with the line calls. Maybe, but why do you have him out there if he can’t do his job. I mean you have 4 five star linemen. How can you not be able to run the ball. That can’t be on the players. I mean it can be on the players but at that point it has to start with the coaches. jmo.
I said in the summer in response to someone posting that this might be a throwaway season that I didn’t think it could be because Pruitt was at the end of his 3rd year in a 6 year contract and we would need to write an extension. Well I guess Fulmer wasn’t taking any chances because he chose to write the extension before the season started. I think that means Fulmer may have more confidence in Pruitt’s ultimate future here than most fans who are judging this team’s performance on a game by game basis. jmo.
Obviously recruiting is important, I think. The fact that 4 five star offensive lineman couldn’t help us run the ball against Georgia still has me scratching my head. I mean, aside from the excuses, it doesn’t make sense to me. jmo.
Anyway, after the 2nd half of the Georgia game I mostly threw in the towel for the rest of this season and given how the team has performed since then I’m guessing a lot of those guys are keeping me company. jmo.
