5-12. They lost all 4 one run games in 92. So glad I wasn't alive

They just didn't have quite enough bats for the postseason. In each WS that the Braves lost, here are how many runs they scored in the games that they lost:

1991: 2, 2, 3, 0
1992: 4, 2, 1, 3
1996: 2, 6, 0, 2
1999: 1, 2, 5, 1

They only scored 5+ runs in 2 of the 16 losses.

I don't know if Aguilar will actually end up being an upgrade, but I do think he'll run Heupel's offense the way it is supposed to be run. I think he's dead on in the clip where he says that Aguilar is uncorking the ball to the backside deep WR; might not be a completion, but he's attempting that throw. Nico was not awful last year but also bailed out on plays and reads that were there.

Brooks Austin is also a UGA guy, who'd have an incentive to bash Tennessee, so I think he's being pretty objective here.

I’m so old that I remember the Braves in the NL West playing 30 games a year on the west coast at 10:35. And you had to stay up because there was no internet and the newspaper deadline was midnight. And ESPN hadn’t invented the scroll yet so you just had to watch Sportscenter and wade through a bunch of catchphrases until they happened to say the score you wanted to hear.

And we LIKED it!

I resemble that take.

The more I see on him, the more I disagree with the boldened part.

He truly was bad from Oklahoma to Alabama. I don't hold Georgia against him. He seemed to get better in November. But he had a long ways to go and I have legit questions about the willingness to improve.

Running the offense makes him an instant upgrade. I don’t care if he completes the passes..just throw them.

The offense doesn’t work when you stand there.

After his exit, I think he's being overrated by non-Tennessee people and probably underrated by our own fans. From our fans there was a lot of "he sucked anyway" after he left, as though he was JG-esque and whoever we replace him with is an upgrade.

I've seen quite a few people in the national media think his exit was some gigantic loss; they didn't really watch us play a lot last year, so they go 5-star recruit + huge NIL deal + he played all year = he must have been really good when the reality was his numbers don't exactly jump off the page and his tape is arguably even less impressive.

The biggest problem with his exit, IMO, wasn't the fact of him leaving itself but the timing of it. Him leaving right after Spring really negatively impacted who we could replace him with.

If (and that's a big if) he can improve his misses (i.e., don't throw picks), then he likely is an upgrade.

I fear that we could have traded a guy that was hesitant to run the offense for a guy who runs the offense, but makes a lot of poor throws.

I would also like to not have to dumb down the offense, which we've had to do the last two years.
