While I'm not quite ready to say "he's done" myself, I agree it's about as red of a red flag as you can get. I know we ain't beating Bama or UGA this year, but if we were to go to UF and win and then get a few of the last half of the season SEC games he would make up some ground for me honestly. I know it's not likely based on what we saw on Sat, but it's not impossible like Bama and UGA. Ga State is unforgivable, this is true... but it's still to early to say JP is done for me. As bad of a loss as that was, 1 game into his second season is still too early IMO.
I'm hanging what shred of hope I have left on the fact that we paid no attention to Ga St and didn't plan for them whatsoever and combined with the fact that they played really well for 4 quarters led to the debacle we saw, and that we will see a diff team come Saturday. Which is why Sat is such a big game/must win game to me... it will tell us if Ga St was an outlier or if we're really that poorly coached and prepared week in and week out.. cause there is absolutely no excuse for them not to be fired up and prepped for BUY.
well spoken

Consider that bammer turned over a whopping 7 staff positions in the off-season. Saban had a freaking intern with a decade+ of D1 HC experience, and he wouldn’t even promote him to special teams coach. Hell, he even brought back Steve Sarkisian, who was an unmitigated disaster in his first go around at bammer. But he wouldn’t promote his intern.
That should give you an idea of where Butch stands in the coaching community.
Yep, Butch is a joke. I will be the first to admit that I bought a few cups of his koolaid when he first arrived at UT, and I loved the media hype that he brought, but he has proven that he's a tool and I wonder why the hell he ended up at UT in the first place. Can it be said that Dooley and Butch are the 2 worst hires EVER made by any school?

Well, to be fair there were a lot of times, which might still continue to this day, that the fans wanted Butch shot, too.
FIFY I'd love to shove a cigar down his throat after the '18 Bama game, the dude is a complete douchenozzle

I happen to agree, and I think that this year will be a mildly pleasant surprise due to the staff. Best of all, sans Chaney, it's a young staff that will provide a lot of stability.

I like Macs. I have two. But there's no denying that you pay a premium for them.
My beef isn't too much with the computers, it has more to do with them locking me out from parts to build or upgrade without taking it to them. I built a triple M.2 PC with twin GTX graphics cards for $3400. It would crush anything that Apple can put together, even their $xx,xxx machines, yet I'm sure they'll sell Mac's by the handful

Good thing this isn't a popularity contest.
And to back up to a previous comment: Those cheap PCs are coming out of the box with a weaker processor, slower graphics card, less battery life, etc. Once you upgrade the Dell to ensure you're getting the same hardware as the MacBook, their prices are similar. That's not confusing at all. It's a simple comparison.
Dell is PC's version of Apple. Not bad in performance, but very over priced, and now I'm beginning to understand your position

The need to get work done without relying on an inferior OS or inferior hardware is precisely why I switched to Apple and would never go back.
10% of the world agrees with you

My Mac is worth every penny. I might drop a couple of thousand on a MacBook Pro so yes, technically, I can get 3 PCs for the same price. But those are going to be entry-level PCs that offer far less than the MacBook offers. By the time I've added on to the PC to make it comparable to the Mac, we're looking at two similarly priced machines. The difference is that in 3-4 years, when I'm ready to upgrade, I can turn around and sell my MacBook for $500-$600 while the PC is going to be virtually worthless.
If I were a dedicated gamer or techie...then, yes, I'd probably go with a PC. I'm not. As long as I can update my OS and add more RAM if needed, all I need is a computer that will do what I need it to, reliably, without failing, and an OS that is designed around simplicity and functionality. The Mac wins, hands down.
I tell people all the time who are looking for an entry-level laptop, and don't need it for anything other than MS Office and basic tasks...go with a MacBook Air. You'll pay twice as much as you will for an entry-level PC, but it'll last twice as long, it'll be a lot easier to use and more stable during that time, and at the end of that time it'll still be worth nearly as much as what you paid for the PC out of the box.
There's a lot I don't like about Apple, the company. But for people like me who just want a computer that's reliable and does what they ask of it, and who don't give a damn about tinkering with the OS, Apple is a game changer.
I'm confused, what specifically would have to be added to a PC to make it comparable to a Mac? Because the PC is far more popular, hardware is plentiful, cheap and more importantly easily interchangeable that Mac by a country mile. Also, OSx & Windows have grown so closely in features that it's hard to separate the two, yet the amount of off-the-shelf software tips heavily in PC's favor. In short, if you want to watch movies or listen to music, get a Mac, but get a PC if you want to get work done
