I know it's happened already a few times, but I'm here to eat my delicious crow

Remember the hate on Josh Smith last year?

Now they all want him back.

Oh yeah. And Worley and Croom and McNeil and our whole OL. It's amazing to see how well our OL plays with a mobile QB. I know USCjr's DL isn't very good but our run game was borderline unstoppable last night

I have been a notorious Dobbs hater for a while now. I have disliked him as a starting QB, I have blamed him for the Vandy loss, and all around I have always considered him a terrible football player.

I have had several posters (mostly sjt) say things like "What's your problem with Dobbs?" and "Did Dobbs piss you off on a personal level or something?" because of how often I've expresses my utter disdain for him.

I was wrong, my football credibility should be completely removed until further notice. Dobbs is a baller. He is a winner. He has heart, fire, the ability to keep his cool in high pressure situations, he runs better than any QB I've seen since as far back as I can remember, his throwing is improved a million times over, and he is the future of this football program.

I no longer have concerns about our QB situation next year, we will be one of the best in the SEC at many positions next year, including QB.

At least you're consistent, you b!tch about everybody.

:good!:

Admitting error is one of the most respectable things a person can do... mystery as to why we often go to ridiculous lengths to avoid it.

Kudos to you!

There isn't a fan alive that is right about everything. Everyone eats crow at some point, whether they openly admit it or not. Props for admitting it though.

Do I? Provide examples please.

I admit to griping about:

Josh Dobbs (I was wrong)
Josh Smith (I was wrong)
Justin Coleman (I am 150% justified)
Devrin Young (also justified)

Now there's a long way to go to from those 4 to "everybody" so start with your first example whenever you're ready.

I will never understand how some fans write off a player only 6 starts into his college career. Not everybody comes in and sets the world on fire. Some players actually give effort and actually improve over the course of their career

I don't either. I've learned to post about players after at least a full season.

I was wrong about withholding criticism of Fulmer and Dooley.

I was wrong about UK beating Mizzou.

I was wrong about UF winning out to win the East and preserve Muschamp's job.... though UF is still alive in the race.

Did the OP really do this just to get a bunch of likes?

Dobbs is just a Soph and he still has accuracy issues with alot of his passes.

He's smart and a hard worker so I believe he'll get lots better with his passing.

Some kids learn slower than others and it all doesn't click sometimes until their junior or senior years and suddenly they become a beast.

Never give up or judge a kid too earely in his career or crow may become a regular part of your diet.

Same for our coaches.

This is the O that buTch and our O coordinator have been trying to put together since day 1.

We don't have all the pieces yet and we don't have great, experienced depth yet but it IS coming.

This was a great WIN and we all needed it and it feels awesome, especially against Spurrier for the 2nd year in a row, but THINK...How great is it going to feel when the WINS start coming against Fla, UGa, Bama and everyone else?

Our future is very bright but we're still a couple of recruiting classes away from being a top 10 team again like we all want to be every year.

Well, obviously, you've left off the coaching staff and even if that's not "everybody" which by the way, is a colloquial expression to mean "several". Whenever I see a thread started by you or posted in by you, it seems you're complaining about something. I guess I should have said that you're b!tching about something all the time, which by the way "all the time" is a colloquial expression to indicate "most".

Another expression.... Some people just can't be happy.... I'm sure they mean you...

Yes indeedy, we have some fine examples here of people who know how to be gracious in victory.

Well, not victory; greeting the return of the prodigal son maybe, but geeze Louise, don't you guys get tired of hearing yourselves say "I told you so"?

--and that goes for both sides: the Negavols AND the True Fans.

Good luck in finding success in work, relationships, and child-rearing with that attitude. :zeitung_lesen:

Seriously! Can we not just be glad that Dobbs has come into the player he is now and enjoy the win? I don't feel like it's that hard.

It takes a real man to fess up to his wrongs. Glad you have seen the light and are now on board. As for Dobbs running ability, he broke Streeters single game rushing record for a QB Saturday night. Not bad huh......

Technically, we are still alive in this race as well. Unless I misunderstand something about the tiebreaker, "all" we have to do is win out ... AND ...
Vandy and SC beat FL,
Mizzou loses to TA&M and Arky,
UGA loses to AUB and KY,
then we get the tiebreaker over Mizzou.

Easy, right? :)

Sadly, we are mathematically eliminated. Georgia doesn't have enough SEC games left for us to pass them. In the scenario above, Georgia, Tennessee, and Missouri would finish 4-4 in the SEC. According to the first 3-way tie rule, the team with the best record against the other two takes the division. In this scenario, it would be Georgia (2-0), Tennessee (1-1), then Missouri (0-2). We can still finish 2nd in the division, though, which would be enough to make a lot of analysts wrong. :)
