Bit of a docudrama but we can use a little pom pom action and the concepts are solid, imo.

Let me guess "reality" to you is that it takes 36 months in a college S&C program before measurable and demonstrable results can be seen?
Will be closer to 36 than lol 11???
18-24 is much more realistic

Cmon do you know anything about body chemistry and also this to play football in the SEC , not your local flag team.

Wow...you really believe that it takes an athlete 24 months in a Division I S&C program before strength gains manifest on the field?

Better call up every other SEC school and tell them that they are doing it wrong.

18-24 for an entire program to see real returns overall ? Absolutely
And your 11 months of gains isn’t really 11months , that’s not realistic to sustain over a course of a schedule. You can’t make any true gains during the season ... so your 11 months is much less than that especially considering all the players that weren’t even on campus for the spring or were injured/ limited.

But continue to bash the program , it’s your MO

Call up Kirby and tell him his S&C program that has his team trucking opponents at the line of scrimmage, is doing it wrong.

Kirby had a stable program in place before he got there. His starting point was in a very different place from a talent and stability standpoint.

Kirby brought in his own S&C coach, same as every head coach. Again, it's not like the roster was full of off-the-street dudes that Fitzgerald is having to turn into football players, the idea that we shouldn't see gains on the field from the S&C program after he's been on campus since January, is as ridiculous, as saying that you can't make gains during the season; other schools and NFL teams have proven that you can.

Sure he did.
Did Kirbys SC guy start with the same athlete that Fitz did? That's equally as ridiculous.

Our SC was at a level before Fitz got here that making it through a game or a practice without an injury that ended a season was a positive.

As I said before, (with some insight from a current starter on offense) the S&C program under the band guy was worse than the actual football development. It's not like it was some big secret no one knew about.

There are gains being made. The fact they dont suit your speed doesnt mean much.

So you think getting our sophomores and juniors to football strength is more difficult than getting the freshmen that Georgia has thoughout its second string ready?

I guess I'm just not one for throwing out accolades without actual warrent; then again I've never been one for participation trophies either.

Makes you wonder what exactly Butch's plans were for the future. Surely he knew that wasn't going to work. I still think he was just going through the motions last year.
His career is built upon the concept of "hit it 'n quit it", like every other imposter. In a few years he'll be perfect for a political position.

Our SOs and JRs that were under trumpet blowers S&C program where many either were injuried or went backwards physically while they were in it? As opposed to a #1 recruiting class stocked full of the top prospects in the country that are already physically more mature than your lower ranked guys starting from a different spot? Keeping in mind that those 2 UT classes ranked 14 and 17 by comparison, very different players.

Your last comments are silly and hold no relevance to the topic.

While he will improve physically because he has a higher athletic ceiling, Wanya Morris will walk on campus physically more prepared to play in the SEC than the majority of OL on our roster.
