As a UGA and UCLA alum, while I completely understand this move, I'm very annoyed. I'd already half planned the RV trip to Athens for the game. Sigh. 😀
Folks we have no idea if Coach Foster can pull off a game coaching game plan. Hoping we are not embarrassed this season. I have a low bar for game plan coaching with Foster. Hope I am wrong. Planning not watching much and lots of garden work.
..meant very respectfully: you want to really humble yourself? Go back to Wiki or some other summary of past FB seasons and look at the coaches' records. We were sitting in the lap of luxury back when Donahue took over for Wunderkind Dick Vermeil who had completed a 15-5-3 record including a 1976 win over OSU and Woody Hayes
Donahue was 151–74–8 with 8-4-1 in bowl games and 10-9-1 against the Toe Jams and many of us bitched about poor Tom not bringing in the grand prize.
He was followed by Bob Toledo who had a record of 49-32 with a 20 game win streak in there somewhere. We came whisper close to playing in the national title game save for that tragic hurricane delayed travesty versus U of Miami. (I personally regret the firing of Toledo and never could understand it.)
And that brings us to the real reason for 50% of us being here: the Fire Dorrell! website and our enmity towards that poor soul who ended up with a 35-27 record. He was only bested by Jim Mora-the-same-practice harder at 46-30. Sure he was not a great coach but I wonder how we would have felt if we could have seen what was in store for us.
Indeed, we face a bleak future of being pummeled by a steady menu Big 10 teams while that scumbag, Chip Kelly, skated off after six desultory seasons and a barely .500 record.
And there is no bright promise at the hands of that rookie child AD, Martin Jughead, who will feast off his public salary and then move on, leaving UCLA athletics -- including a storied basketball program -- in the dust of long ago history.
Those schedules are brutal. It's going to be many years before the Bruins are competitive in the BIG 10, sadly.
I am very disappointed. I was looking forward for years to the Georgia and Auburn games.

..Ahhhhhhh! DA CALBEARZ!
