Thursday Thought Provoker: If The Receivers Hadn’t Been Hurt

Posted on by

I’ll put this here:

This is the most tiresome narrative out there and the source of endless whining bullshit from the Suckeyes and the Gumps as well as other Dawg haters. My typical retort when I hear this is to point to 2018, National Championship Game, and watching Georgia nullify Hurts for an entire half just to watch them roll out Tua in the second half to pull of the win. Same song, second verse the next time they met in the SECCG the following year, just in reverse, with a key defensive injury limiting Georgia’s ability to keep Hurts out of the end zone in the second half. Alabama knocked out Colt McCoy. tOSU boasts the best receiver room in the nation and deep rosters from recruiting, yet couldn’t replace Harrison, even though he wasn’t really statistically “owning” Georgia?

I don’t know, that’s my short take on it…what’s your response? How do you counter this idiotic argument whenever you hear it?

  1. Since it’s derby week I’ll put it this way. Your thoroughbreds got beat by a nag walk-on QB. Live with it.

  2. I mean Williams played what – a quarter +@3min. If he’s such an unstoppable force, how come he hadn’t scored up to that point? They scored one TD. After a ‘fumble’ (some might even call it a ‘bammer fumble’) that they got around our own 20. Then missed the two point to boot. One. TD. All day.
    Ohio had two, that’s right two, 14pt leads during that game. How’s that defense and special teams play treating you?
    They can both kiss my backside. And that’s an excellent point on McCoy. Funny, don’t seem to hear much about that.

  4. If a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his butt when he jumped.

  6. Why should we care about a team whose last claimed NC was during the bogus COVID season? Put a big * next to that one, gumps. Oh, and I think we would have beat them soundly in the 2024 SECCG if we were not so banged up on offense, but I, like most rational fans, understand that injuries are part of the game and sometimes you catch a bad break.

  7. Dumbass is going to dumbass. FTMF! It needed saying.

  8. Osu – yankee delusional is strong with this group of fucksticks
    Bama – you motherfucking assholes actually made me empathize with the auburn posse on the plains this morning as I can see how the toxic relationship with you twisted fucks in T-town turned them into thinking Cam Newton is worthy of saint hood and sent them down a crack infested alley with all their cheating ways of operating their shit stained program

  9. Injuries only affect losers!
    Soft minds, soft bodies, pull your panties out of your whoha and man up.
    FTMF’s.

  10. As per the advice of an expert on winning, I will not say shit. I will just laugh and point at the back-to-back Natties.

    • Should UGA football staff be looking for some 2025 locker room, chalkboard GATA talk, circle september 27th in the Classic City…

  11. If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts……Bama wouldn’t be irrelevant by Christmas.

  12. “I’m sorry. I can’t hear what you’re saying with these back to back title trophies stuck in my ears!”

    To Suckeye fans, last I checked Harrison didn’t play defense.

    To Bama fans, so you don’t count the win over Texas without Colt McCoy?

  13. I think you meant the title to be “if the receivers hadn’t been BUTT hurt”…
    Go Dawgs

  15. You know what is cool is that I don’t hear us bitching about how our two world beater receivers were both injured when we played Bama in the SEC championship game. If Bowers and McConkey had been healthy, I have no doubt we would have beat them. I am also sure we would have kicked Michigan’s butt to win a third straight natty.
