We Respect the Honesty.

You may be surprised to know that when we read this by Ben Dukes we were not outraged. We did not feel the need to hurl insults. Quite the contrary we respect what Ben said. We respect it because as he said, there were no statistics to back it up. He simply said that he loves Mark Richt.

It isn't that you can't love Richt, it isn't that you can't respect Richt, it isn't that you can't appreciate the things that Richt did accomplish. What we can't tolerate is attempting to explain mediocrity as if it is good in some way shape or form. We can't stand excuses. We can't stand hiding behind weak excuses simply because you really like the guy.

Ben gets our respect because in true Cold Blooded Sausage Making fashion he just told it like it is. He really loves Richt the man.
Like so many divorcees in this world we also loved Richt once......we just can't live with him anymore. While you may not want to admit it this is a "What have you done for me lately" business- and business is business.
