It appears more and more teams are figuring out how to stop an offense that can only complete 3 passes each game. Whether WM will be able to is another story, but I have faith. And Schultzie, in game 4 he had a monsoon, unless you had your head too far up Buzz’s arse to see the torrents blowing in.

Regardless, who cares who you’d take right now, all that will be figured out come November in the cesspool that is known as downtown Atlanta.

and then there was just DUMB…….Dawgs will have a better record than Tech, Dawgs will beat Tech. Had Tech played the same schedule as the Dawgs, they would be 0-4. ACC in no way shape or form holds a candle to the SEC and the same can be said about Tech as they stink with a GOOD coach, and the Dawgs are still winning in the SEC with sorry coaches for the most part. I expect I will not be the only one to believe this.

dawgvent.bolgspot.com, figuring out our offense isn’t tough…been ‘figured out’ a long time ago; the challenge is stopping it! Don’t be afraid of the big city…the mugging will happen within the white lines of the playing field. The mutts can file a police report after the game! GO TECH!!!

superDawg, we KNOW…. “tek will lose to UNC”…oops! We won THAT game! “tek will lose to whoever they play”….is that better?

UGA has better talent but is very under coached, hate to say.

But Tech may not necessarily be better come Nov.

Tech does have the added advantage in this argument of playing the weaker schedule.

But either way, I think it will come down to the Governor’s Cup to decide who gets to a better bowl. Both seem like either 9-3 or 8-4 teams.

If GT catches the Seminoles standing around the way USF did, it will be great for a road game. Bowden seems ready for the retirement home. I look forward to Homecoming to see if GT can run the ball long distance thorugh the Hokies……must play mistake free ball on turnovers and keep the kicker on the bench 95% of the time. Blair is as confused as Bobby Bowden is.

Who the heck knows? In 2006, Georgia looked awfully inept at this point in the season…and then beat three straight ranked teams (including Georgia Tech) and a good Virginia Tech team to finish the season and ended up 9-4. In 2007, the Dawgs lost to South Carolina and Tennessee early, then went on a tear and won the rest of their games to finish 11-2 and #2 in the country. I have only marginal faith in Willie Martinez and his skills in formulating defensive strategy, but the Bulldogs looked to be developing some semblance of a pass rush this past weekend, and the young DBs who played (Rambo, etc.) looked awfully good. The offensive line had a bad week, but you can bet that Searels will remind them of that performance this week in practice. Caleb King appears to be playing his way into shape; he should have had more carries on Saturday. The talent is clearly there on both sides of the ball. It’s just a matter of putting it all together and eliminating mistakes (turnovers, specifically), mistakes which have made three games that should not have been into close barn-burners and which probably cost the Dawgs the first game entirely (well, that and Coach Richt’s bullheaded insistence in starting a still-ill Joe Cox). Just like 2006 and 2007, I think the jury is still out on this Georgia team. They could be 6-6 (losing to LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn and Georgia Tech) or 9-3 (losing to Florida and some other team to be named later–take your pick). One thought, though: they have a real shot against a highly-ranked team this weekend versus LSU. The Bengal Tigers are overrated (the offense has been underwhelming, and the defense doesn’t look like it has improved over last year’s, which Georgia torched for over 50 points), and if Georgia can have one game devoid of ball-handling misadventures, they could win on Saturday. The Tigers do have the reverse deal going with turnover ratio; they are +8, while the Dawgs are -9. If that trend continues, Georgia will NOT win this one.

With regard to Tech, their defense just isn’t very talented unless the player you’re talking about has Morgan somewhere in his name (Burnett, Derrick). The pass D, in particular, is weak. And the offense cannot make up a deficit by throwing the ball–comebacks must be predicated upon opposing defenses giving up a big rushing play. The offense is okay as long as they are not playing from behind or turning the ball over (remember, the UNC loss last season was more turnover-driven than anything else; Tech actually had over 300 yards rushing in that game). Tech will lose to Virginia Tech and one other team before the Georgia game (take your pick; it’s the ACC, and any team can beat any other team on any given Saturday) to be 8-3 going into the season finale. But I’m not picking the result of the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (COFH) game yet–lots of football to be played still, and both teams are too schizophrenic for me to make that call. Who knows which team will show up from week to week? We’ll figure it all out in November. But at this point, neither team is BCS-worthy–and I don’t think that will change by then for the Jackets or the Dawgs. The preseason pundits were, on this point, correct: Georgia does indeed miss Moreno and MoMass (and even Stafford, to a lesser extent), and Tech does indeed miss its defensive linemen. They are both young teams with great potential, but the potential has not yet been realized for either team. How and when the light goes on for each will determine the teams’ relative fates this season.

Tech’s highschool offense is being stuffed because there are no slow db’s and linebackers at the ACC and SEC level of play. They have zero passing attack. Georgia will settle down on the turnovers as Cox becomes more comfortable with the receivers. The d will step up despite the incompetence of Martinez. By the last game it will be not if Georgia beats Tech, it will be can they cover the spread.

From an unbiased outsider, Bama doesn’t play either team this year (unless GA gets into the championship game, which um….no). But, I’d rather play GA than GATech anyday. GA is very elementary in what they do offensively, very predictable…and they don’t have any big play guys this year outside of the one receiver.

Jeff Schultz,

That takes the cake.

Georgia plays the Number 4 SoS in the nation and Tech the Number 50. Tech besides us, plays only Virginia Tech, after Tech was blown out by Miami of Florida.

Georgia this year BY STARK CONTRAST plays Coaches’ Poll Number 4 LSU, Coaches’ Poll Number 12 Oklahoma State, Coaches’ Poll Number 29 South Carolina, Coaches’ Poll Number 28 Auburn, Coaches’ Poll Number 26 GEORGIA TECH, Coaches’ Poll Number 1 Florida.

Tech doesn’t play ANY GOOD TEAMS besides us. And, the ACC is a weak, weak, weak conference and HAS BEEN. And, will be.

For 8 Consecutive Seasons and COUNTING now, Coach Mark Richt has finished RANKED AHEAD OF GEORGIA TECH every year in the Final AP Poll.

The stinky ACC conference has NO GOOD BOWL BID TIE-INS. NONE.

Right now today, UGA is ranked Number 14 in the USA TODAY COACHES’ POLL, and Georgia Tech is UNRANKED in the USA TODAY COACHES’ POLL.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO ONE saying Tech is FAVORED over UGA, except you.

One thing Nesbitt could do is roll and run. Every time he had receivers down field last week running lanes were open for at least 7+ yards – and enough for first down distance.

For UGA, there is a lot to be said for pulling out wins in games when you may not have dominated the game. It gives you the feel that you are never out of it, that you can still come back and win. So who knows, are these close games good signs for UGA, or are they bad signs and they will get killed by LSU and FL ? Only time will tell. If I were playing UGA, I would keep my safeties covering the middle of the field. Cox is most comfortable throwing over the middle, and he will throw there, even into coverage. But still too soon to tell on either team, as it is for almost everyone.

Georgia Tech can’t complete a pass. Without ANY threat of a passing game Tech will NEVER beat good, fast defenses. Georgia does not posses a good defense. However, please note what I’m about to say. A good,fast, defense: aka Va Tech will dominate Ga Tech’s offense. I believe Georgia is a better team, but their coaching shortcomings could cost them this game, again.

GT has the much easier schedule to finish out and therefore likely to have more momentum going into the game. UGA has more talent, but GT has a bye week to get fresh legs. GT wins because of the momentum and the bye week, not because we are a better team…

Jeff,
You forgot to mention Tech goes the rest of the season playing a basketball schedule, while the Dawgs finish out the season in a football conference.
Taking that into consideration, if the Dawgs finished out the season playing Tech’s schedule we’d go to a BCS bowl too.
Your probably right on your assesment though, until the Dawgs prove with their talent that they can play a complete disciplined game, without the mistakes and the dance routine, the Tenn. and the Auburn games look like they could go either way. As for the Gator matchup, the chant “95 North” could take on a whole new meaning.

the thing about UGA’s turnovers, is that those are the types of things that usually average out over the long haul.

At the rate they’re going, they’d finish the regular season at around a -27 ratio.

I don’t think that’s likely.

So, once that trend reverses, expect UGA to look better.

Both Tech and UGA are going to win 8 or 9 games, and I think that finale is too close to call.

Neither team has overly impressed. You are correct in saying that it’s hard to figure out either team. One thing to consider about this last game for each team…they both won their game. In the end, that’s what matters.

Another thing to consider, though – UGA was expected to be “down” a little after losing two first round NFL picks and our “compliment” to AJ Green, whereas all we heard after Tech’s 3 point win last year was how much better Tech was going to be once Johnson got all of his offense installed. Well…….this offense looks just like the offense from last year, and actually looks a little less daunting with more defenses figuring it out. Speaking of streaky, one minute Nesbitt can’t hit the side of a barn at 3 paces and the next he looks like John Elway.

I guess Tech was good enough last year for a 3 point win, but if they are just a little off this year, maybe that’s all UGA needs to pull out a victory in November. I guess we’ll see. As they say, that’s why they play the game on the field. You continue to play it in your head 2 months before kickoff, if you’d like.

You can have Tech….I’ll take UGA all day, any day!

Stafford made the throws and JC cannot. He can be a great QB if he will just let go of the ball sooner. Stafford threw the ball before the receivers made their moves and with his arm strength it got there in a hurry. That’s just not the case with JC so far. Receivers have had to make plays after waiting for the ball, especially on deep patterns. Don’t read this as me throwing Joe under the bus and giving him all the blame for poor play – he still has us 3-1 with a lot of ball to be played. Another thing, these teams we’ve played are not pushovers! ASU is one of the leaders in several defensive categories in their conference and nationally – and I don’t know when I’ve seen a better tackling team. Their linebackers seemed to be everywhere last Saturday. We will probably lose again but I’m not down about this season – look at all the youth who have starring roles on both sides of the ball!

Jeff, is your house still standing? Wow, it took some real guts to write that article in this state. From what I have seen of the UGA defense they still can’t stop the run and the offense refuses to be dedicated to it despite having 2 “Great *****” backs. On the flipside, Tech showed a stouter D against UNC, but will give up some yards and points through the air. Tech needs to run the ball like the last UNC series: 8 minute drives keep Green, King, & co on the sideline. Tech wins against UGA and more overall games.

I still don’t get UGA fans that call GT’s offense ‘high school’. I mean, its the same offense that dragged your defense all over the field between the hedges last year to the tune of 409 total rushing yards. Go ahead and call it a high school offense but that would mean that your defense is somewhere around junior high…and with all those 5-star recruits, too. What a waste of talent…

To further illustrate how out of touch UGA fans are, UNC’s defense (yes, the one Tech just dominated) is ranked 14th in the country in total defense (look it up on NCAA.com), while UGAs defense is ranked 67th after playing juggernauts such as Arkansas and Arizona State.

More stats: UGAs offense is ranked 74th in the country in total offense. Heck, even Central AND Western Michigan are ranked higher than you!

But we will have 450 yards in penalties that will negate everything.
AJ Green will block a last minute field goal and we win with no time on the clock to finish the year ranked #19. GT will be ranked #20 so it will be close.

We may have second tier athelets but ask CMR if he would like to have Burnett, Dwyer, Hill (Which he recruited), Morgan, Thomas, or Jones I think he would jumb at the chance. We will win our share of games. Will we dominate UGA, no, nor will UGA dominate us. When we are better we will beat you when we are equal we will beat you (Coaching).

They are a bunch of cocky athletes with no concept of team and a coach that lets the inmates run the prison. There are serious, let me repeat serious problems in Athens which will become more and more apparent in the coming weeks. The burner is officially going to be on the rear end of Saint Mark after this coming stretch of games. Georgia, the Wisconsin of the SEC.

So to recap…

UGA’s defense is worse than last year

UGA’s offense is MUCH worse than last year (you lost your two most important positional players to the NFL–and yes they left before they got their degree)

And you expect this year’s game to be any different?

No doubt Gt beats UGA again this season. I was in the cesspool known as Athens GA for the ASU game and UGA looked terrible. the only reason UGA won that game was because ASu had terrible play from it’s corners –and ASU is not even a good football team. UGA is lucky to be 3-1, they could very well be 1-3 or 0-4.

GT has found it’s footing –with the exception of the kicking game– and is about to hit the toughest stretch of it’s schedule, four road games in five weeks, with the home game VT. It GT escapes October with a 3-2 record then they will wrap up with a 3-0 November, to finish at 9-3 and wrap a very good season.

Gt defeats UGA again –as i stated at the end of last season, look for Gt to win 4-5 in a row in the series with UGA. Gt finished 9-3, UGA 7-5.

“Tech did not win last year, Georgia lost.”

Nice rationalization. If that kind of illogical denial helps you to cope, then you perhaps will be able to console yourself when UGA loses again this year that at least Tech–with it’s ‘high school offense’ and assortment of ‘nerds’ and ‘foreigners’–will not have ‘won’.

As a Tech fan, all I can say is it’s nice to be part of the conversation. For most of the recent years, we weren’t. I don’t know what will happen the rest of this year, but there is no question we are heading in the right direction. We may or may not be UGA this year, but I will be surprised if they pull off 6 or 7 game winning streaks against us if both coaches stay put. The good thing about Johnson is that I think he will make adjustments when something isn’t working, and that includes coaching changes. I’m not so sure Richt will, but I’ll worry about Tech and let the UGA fans worry about Richt.

Gutsy column, Jeff. At this point in the season I DO see your point. The sad thing is that UGA has a ton of talent, it simply is not being actualized. That comes from coaching. I had a conversation Sunday evening in which the question was asked whether the GA program had “peaked” under Richt. Think it’s pretty common feeling that CMR HAS the potential to win at a big level and even compete for a MNC. BUT, it will NOT be with this current coaching staff. The fact that UGA is “winning” while constantly shooting themselves in the foot is pretty amazing. As TB said in his re-cap yesterday, if Joe Cox throws a couple of gofer balls, and UGA has a fumble or two they will be crushed by LSU. Can’t put a real read on the Jackets. They looked pitiful against the “U,” and UNC is still at least a year away, especially on offense. Currently, the pretty much suck. Taking all the emotion out of the equation, no one I know thinks Willie Martinez is in Athens for the long haul. And that pretty much goes for the rest of the assistants, save the OC.

I’m a big Dawgs fan, but my question is how can a team that has reeled in a national top 5 recruiting class every year for the past five years be so mediocre and inconsistent? The answer is that we have lousy coaching. Any idiot could field a winner with all the resources the State of Georgia and UGA have to attract quality football players… We will be lucky to end up with a winning record this year.

The financial issues you mentioned are still true today. Can’t fill up a stadium that only holds 50,000 fans. The scholarship issues, Tech couldn’t give a scholarship away in those days.
As far as joining a conference, Tech obviously chose the Basketball conference. Joing a conference and being Independent don’t seem to have hampered Notre Dame as far as raking in the big bucks. Your excuses for leaving the SEC for the easier path sound like something you and your fans have dreamed up so it won’t feel so bad about it. Don’t worry though basketball is just around the corner, then your ACC can have some dominance in something.

Jeff:

Some facts to ponder.

Vs. OKie State, UGA did not have Caleb King or Justin Houston and Cox was coming off the flu. UGA was -2 on turnovers. (Loss)

Vs. S. Carolina, UGA did not habe King or Houston. UGA was -2 on turnovers. S. Carolina had two extra days to prepare. (Win)

Vs. Arkansas, UGA was -2 on turnovers. Arkansas had an extra week to prepare. (Win)

Vs. Arizona State, -2 on turnovers. Arizona State had an extra week to prepare. (Win)

All four games have been against tough BCS opponets.

UGA is 3-1 even though they are -8 in turnovers!!!

Imagine what you would be saying if UGA was just even on turnovers.

This has the potential to be a very explosive UGA team if they can just cut down on the gifts.

Steve McGarrett above, you are exactly right. I have asked many a fan if they actually thought a Urban Myer or Nick Saban team would have fallen apart like the ‘Dogs did against the Jackets. Don’t think so. That game was essentially a three down game. Stop the Jackets deep on their side of the field on their first 2d half possession, and the game is probably over. The ultimate defensive meltdown. UGA does not inspire confidence.

ChrisinIndy

September 29th, 2009

Long-term success…

I believe that GT has the better long-term program and here’s why:

Paul Johnson has clearly made it his mission to build a program from the ground up. Look at the improvements to the stadium that are still being completed. Look at the support he’s getting from Dan R. All of these things are designed to get more fans, which means more money for the program, which means more exposure/fan base etc etc etc. Also, CPJ has made it a point to get more kids from GA to play there. We already know that his system works, so all of the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff is just gravy adding to the program.

On the other hand, we have UGA…a program in decline. With UGA, you have a fan base that is generally only satisfied with the best, so they grow restless very easily. Mark Richt’s program is built on the quality of athlete rather than how well they play as a team. It is my belief that this has been exposed, even with recruits, and that the quality of athlete that will commit to UGA is declining. This may be due to the fact that they never live up to expectation…it could be the fact that GT is making inroads into UGA’s recruiting core. Whatever the cause, UGA’s basic quality, being able to get great athletes, is taking a severe hit.

Tech people have a lot of frustration built up from years of georgia’s verbal and physical abuse (from football). They want to beat georgia more than georgia wants to beat them. Tech players are not afraid to get bloody and georgia players are afraid to lose.

Tech’s coaches get far more out of their talent than georgia (except in equestrian and gymnastics).

Tech has ALWAYS owned georgia in the classroom, and now that that is carrying over to the football field, the dog nation must relive their 1980’s to save their sanity.

They are scrambling and we are loving it!

It should be a great game down at Dudd stadium; Grunt Field; on the concrete campus. Right now they look like two different teams playing two different games. I’d say the only two teams left on the Tech schedule that should give them a go are UGA and Va Tech. They should handle the rest, espeically if they are as great as the press clippings say they are.

UGA can’t stay on the field with anybody on its schedule. They have not had any tests yet, and they are terrible on the road. I guess that is the gist of what you are saying here.

I’ve said this all along. Turnovers and Special teams are what makes this team. If you find away to fix those, you will be well on the way to a good season, if you don’t, then who knows?

At lease we are out of the extended week preparation for a while.

All those games which you have cited, as video games or ugly, UGA has won. They lost to Ok State, That is where it is right now. Let’s measure at the end of the year. The goal is to win, and improve each week as a team. Looks like we have seen that from UGA so far. This weekend is the big test.

I guess you point is somewhat understandable, but I think most would agree Uga fields more talent every year..that being said, let me ask you a question…why did detroit, atlanta, baltimore, and the new york jets field rookie quarterbacks in the last two season? because they know that they have more talent! In detroit, Stafford may throw a few picks every now and then, so why did they start him? because daunte culpepper can’t win a game for you..all he is going to do is not lose one…I think in the LONG RUN the penalties and turnovers will cease and georgia’s talent will show: immaturity is showing now…but we all know they will gain expierance…tech is always going to be a mediecore program..do you really think they can be a national championship contender with that offense?

Gee – can M ever post an opinion without calling someone an idiot? Tech’s defense against Miami was the problem – the offense will be okay.
Paul Johnson is coaching well – Mark Richt is not. UGA has many problems with lack of discipline both on and off the field. Yes, UGA fans are living in the past (1980’s) but Tech still regrets its stupid decision to leave the SEC after 1964. Tech was the power of the SEC in late 50’s and early 60’s. Yes, I know Tech won share of national title in 1990, but what have you done for me lately? Tech seems to have an edge now but if UGA can finds its chemistry, it could be a fine team. Looks like a good game come November, but please let’s play some defense this year. Would Saint Simons please post “45-42 hahahahaha?”

and UGA has a great chance to beat LSU who’s defense is not good right now

Tech will likely lose to Miss St, VaTech, FlaSt, and UGA but should they win against MsSt or FlaSt they’ll finish 8-4

Remember this EVEN IF UGA and TECH BOTH finish 7-5, 8-4, or 9-3 with the BOWL GAME TIE-INS the SEC team will get to a BETTER BOWL

I wish i could address all of the off the wall comments about UGA on here but don’t have the time, so here are a few, Urban Meyer or Sabon would never let their teams fall apart like the dawgs did against Tech, lets see Utah over Bama, 2007 Gators, lets see what happened in the bowl game, Tech being demolished by LSU, Miami, my point here is all teams have bad games and do not play consistant in all games, sometimes you look all world and everyone thinks you are the greatest team ever, and other games you don’t look so good and everyone thinks you are the worst coached team there is, its a long season so we will see where both the dawgs and tech end up, and as far as for the comments about the recruiting decline, have you checked the committment list for next year, not getting 4 or 5 star players does not always mean success, but i can promise you the players that the dawgs recruit are sought after by all of the power house teams, we get some and we lose some, and whoever makes comments about Coach Richt and the type person he is should look at their ownself in the mirror, You may not agree with some of his coaching decisions or staff he has, but if you ever met the man and really knew his heart yuo would be ashamed to personal attacks on him, i believe the dawgs and tech both have very good coaches and both universities should be proud, and even though both have different personalities, they both are pretty good and getting wins, i hope the dawgs win against tech every year, but that is hoping for the best, and i just have to believe we will win our share, but tech probably will too, the dawgs biggest hurdle is challenging the gators and vols in the east everyyear, we have done pretty well against everyone except the gators, but i believe that will come around at some point, but we will see…

I don’t think Tech would do any better than UGA if Tech were playing UGA’s schedule. People get caught up in 9-3 being better than 8-4 without taking into consideration strength of schedule. I’m sure UGA would be 4-0 playing Auburn’s schedule of 4 relatively weak home games. And Auburn would probably be no better than 2-2 (maybe 1-3) playing UGA’s schedule. Your comparisons are just something to write about and proves that any idiot could be a sportswriter.

Neither team has looked great at this point. UGA is erratic & undisciplined. Tech got whipped by a Miami team that really might not be that good (Canes win over FSU not looking so good since South Florida did it too; last weekend in Va Tech wasn’t too good either)

I think a fair prediction now would be that the game is going to be a shootout and exciting to watch since neither team’s D can stop anyone.

even though i’m a tech fan, i admit georgia has a much tougher schedule the rest of the way. but tech’s is no cupcake either. it should be a pretty even matchup come the end of november.

to beat tech, a team must do these 3 things: 1. stuff the middle with big bodies, 2. have a good quarterback, 3. protect that quarterback with a good offensive line. if one of those 3 things doesn’t happen, tech has a good shot of winning.

Georgia Tech? Give me a break. If it wasn’t for your in-state rival you would have nothing to talk about at all. The ACC is a football joke — admit it. What are you idiots going to say if Georgia beats a very average #4 LSU and goes 3-0 in the SEC this weekend? More blah, blah, blah, I suppose.

Denver Dog, last week they were the best defense and offense going…this week they are a basketball school. I think the dawg fans should worry about their team as it hits the tough part of their schedule. Stop worrying about what Tech will do. When Tech beats MSU this weekend I guess we can say they are a baseball school. What a bunch of morons.

That “high school offense” sure looked pretty good against a top-25 team. It put up over 300 rushing yards on a team that came in allowing fewer than 70.

Come the Saturday after Thanksgiving, UGA will have had an entire calendar year to figure out and get ready for said “high school offense.” Maybe this year the dogs will only give up 300 ground yards to the Jackets instead of 400.

This is a must win for both teams. If UGA loses a SEC game, the chances of them advancing to the SECCG are slim b/c of that juggernaut down there in Gainsville. If GT loses this game…..It will be a devastating, demoralizing event.

For all of you who think UGA has a team full of 5 star players you are mis-informed. There are a total of of 5, 5 star recruits out of a traveling squad of 70 players: Kade Weston, Reshad Jones, Richard Samuels, Branden Smith and A.J. Green. Kade Weston is not a starter but plays a lot on the defensive line, Richard Samuels is not playing like a 5 star running back, Reshad Jones is a big hitter but can’t cover, Branden Smith is a true freshman. A. J. Green is the one true 5 star recruit that plays like a 5 star recruit. The rest of the team is 4 and 3 star and non rated players. Caleb King was rated 5 star till he broke his leg his senior year in HS. Then he went to 4 star. Georgia has had some really good recruiting classes but that whole ranking of recruits is a little mis-leading. Except for A.J. and possibly Branden Smith UGA’s 5 star players have been a bust.

ChrisinIndy says UGAs recriting is/will drop off… have you seen the 2010 class? It may be the best class recruited since CMR has been at UGA based on the same silly rating system.

Frankly I hope yeck wins all their games before we play them. It doesn’t make much difference anyway. They always play lights out vs UGA because their whole season is about beating UGA. When you have only beaten UGA 13 times in the last 44 years you become obsessed with beating them.

UGA does look a little ragged right now. Lots of mistakes. That’s the bad news. The good news is they don’t panic and they don’t quit and even though for some it may be hard to see they are getting better each week. We won’t know how good they can be till they play a complete game. Hopefully they’ll do it this week.

GT is walking into a trap this week and they will be fortunate to come away with a win. If they lose boy will I be on their blog giving them hell about losing to the worst team in the SEC.

Tron, they did look great against Miami, didn’t they. That is the only top 25 team which Tech has played. You Tech people need to understand that playing UNC and Wake is not the same as playing against UF and LSU. Maybe in your world it is, but it is not in the real world. UNC has never been in any kind of football championship, at least not in the last 60 years. Alabama, one of the best defenses in the country still gave up 250 yards to this Mallet guy, AT BAMA. So techies quite comparing UNC to an SEC team. The only one down in your conference that can compare may be Miami. Va Tech has played one already haven’t they.

Forget the above and the Braves run, THIS is big news! Okay, I’ll bite, and,sadly I agree; with that my IQ went from waist size to room temp.

However, UGA could be a great deal better in November, because of the greater margin for improvement available. Now, how did they manage to have the outstanding SEC offensive ‘Player of the Week” two weeks running, and this week have the ‘SEC Player of the Week’ on defense(?) as well?

Denver Dog, did I ever try to say UNC was inthe same league as UF and LSU? Considering they’re both ranked in the top 5 and UNC was #22 last weekend (that would be the other top-25 team to which I was referring, since they were, in fact, ranked in the top 25), that would be a ridiculous comparison for me to make. Which is why I didn’t make it, but you have to stoop to creating things that I didn’t say, which doesn’t very much advance your cause.

I agree that LSU is overrated and yet to be tested. They were outplayed by Mississippi State on the road in the conference’s least hostile environment next to Vandy. UGA should win on Saturday. Tech has not played a weak schedule – let’s get that out of the way. Clemson is a good, not great team, that has some NFL talent on that roster in Spiuller, Sapp, and Bowers, not to mention a good freshman QB. UNC and Miami were both ranked at the time they played GT. Tech played very poorly vs Miami – a good team bounces back and they did vs. UNC, which does have a good team. As a Tech fan I see both sides of the argument. Jax State is not a worthy opponent – by the way they would not have played J State if Ole Miss had not asked to move their game with Tech (that would have been an interesting game for sure). Look UGA and Tech are both good teams – everyone needs to chill – the two are not that far apart and on any Satuday, you never know what you will see. Just enjoy the season and stop comparing how one team would do in the other team’s conference.

Georgia Fans you say UGA has a tougher schedule but if you look at the teams they play its not that tough. You play UF who is really good and GT who will come to play. But LSU is obviously over rated, Oklahoma State was over rated, Arkansas sucks…look at what bama did to them, South Carolina is not good…neither is ole miss, UT lost to UCLA!!, Vandy sucks,UK sucks, an FCS school from Tennessee , Auburn may be ok, and ASU is not good they will be 5-7 again. Where is this tough schedule???because it looks about the same as tech’s. If it wasn’t for the pre season polls you would only play three ranked teams….Tech will end up playing four this year.

UGA fans way overstate the talent gap between the two schools. There is enough talent in the state of Georgia to field 4 top 25 teams. There are only two division I schools in this state.

And why do you put so much stock in a recruiting pay website. Who cares what that some dude on his couch thinks this guy is the 12th best RB and this guy over here is the 25th best running back? A good coach with a good eye for talent for his system knows way more than some guy that runs a website.

The thing is, both GT and UGA has been better at recruiting over the last several years. UGA picked up their recruiting around 1994 and GT picked up their recruiting around 1999. UGA was getting better talent but had poor coaching. They then went and got Mark Ritch and they have had their best decade in the history of the school record wise. GT had good coaching and a great QB, but not a lot elsewhere. The recruiting started getting better, but then they hired an idiot coach. Now the recruiting is continuing to get better and they have a better coach.

I know this is a big rivalry, but UGA fans just have to admit that last year GT’s entire defensive line, at least one linebacker, and at least 2 defensive backs would have been starting at UGA on defense if they played for them. GT does not have an AJ Green type receiver now (they used to) but their two best recievers are better than UGA’s next best guy. UGA really missed out on Stephen Hill, he looks to have their rare body control and athletic ability for a big receiver. GT might have three running backs better than UGA’s best running back. UGA does have a better offensive line, or was suppose to this year.

The big difference in talent between these two teams are not at the starting positions, but rather in depth. (I think UGA has had 250 guys drafted over the years or so, to about 200 for GT. A difference, but not much.)

Why do UGA fans think that they have a right to the top recruits? Both schools have a rich history. Tech even has more national titles in football and the most recent. Both cities are unique and can be an attraction for an 18 year old. Tech has a more prestige degree, and UGA has more major options. The only advantage is that UGA plays in front of more people on Saturdays. But I would hope that a recruit did not base his college by attendance numbers. GT still holds close to 60,000 people which is about the size of many NFL stadiums, (it is not like Vandy.) But surely a recruit is going to base more off of his relationship with the coaches and how comfortable he feels on campus through the recruiting process than he would on other things like stadium size.

Come on Schultzy…the question is who can change suddenly? Can GA Tech suddenly start playing at a higher level, are their players going to suddenly find themselves more talented and dominating? Or is it more likely that UGA can play at the same level, but stop dumb mistakes? I know they were sloppy all last year, but it is beleivable that penalties could slow, and skill players can protect the ball better for UGA…improving on fundamentals is more likely than jumping up in skill level overnight…if not for a few pitiful turnovers, UGA would have looked much more dominating in it’s first 4 games

Jeff,
There was a guy that posted a rational comment on here around 412am. One rational comment for every 30? What is the ratio by your reckoning?

But to his point, in ‘06 GA lost to KY and Vandy at home and then finished 9-4. In ‘07, after getting thumped by UT, we ended up a very serious football team that would have throttle LSU in the SEC title game had UT slipped. Once the AZ game got to 14-3, we looked like we relaxed as if we had it in the bag instead of ratcheting up the intensity and stepping on their throat.

They are baffling at this point in the year. I could very much envision a focused and intense performance to beat an overrated LSU team this weekend and then losing to UT the week after.

orlando dawg – while the columnist has his opinion, the facts are true about a few things – UGA has been sloppy – if you believe they will suddenly stop turning the ball over and committing senseless penalties, that’s your right. I want to see that first before I feel it is behind UGA. Everyone has their ifs – well, if it wasn’t raining, if we did not get stopped on 3rd and inches, if we did not fumble – the ifs don’t matter. I believe UGA will correct what they have been doing as well, but if the game were played today, I’d be concerned. I’d also be concerned as a Tech fan as Tech also puts the ball on the ground a bunch with all the reads with the option and our kicker is very inconsistent, a CLEAR advantage for UGA – Walsh and Butler are aweasome. I don’t think Tech has to play up a level to face UGA – these players were highly recruited by many teams – Burnett, Morgan, Dwyer, Jones, etc.) Hang in there and enjoy the season – there are a lot of fun games left to play.

Well Jeff looks as if you really didn’t have much to talk about so you thought you might as well throw the Dogs and the Bees into the pit and let ‘em hurl insults for a bit. Pretty lame subject given this stage of the season, but then you never seem to lack for lameness.

Regardless, I’ll have my say. This time last year all my Tech friends weren’t sure just what to make of Mr. Johnson – B4 Miss State. I tried to tell ‘em that the guy and his offense were impressive and that they could expect good, if not great, things. From then on you’d think that all these Techies had invented Paul Johnson…they couldn’t build wagons fast enough to add to the parade…of course that debacle against The Ewe cost ‘em a few of the ‘faithful’, but beating a mediocre UNC (with wins over those juggernauts The Citadel, East Carolina and UConn – by two) got ‘em back in the fold – that and that it appears that Mr. Dwyer may have finally gotten into shape to play football.

And as for a poll, what’s the point? There are almost more Techies hanging around here than there are cynical Georgia fans – which is saying a lot…I’ve never known our folks to bi**h so much about their team as this bunch of grads – I’d say the ones ‘post ‘90 or so – they all seem to have a chip on their shoulder and think that the coaches and kids – whenever something goes wrong – are doing it just to piss them off personally. Of course it’s not just the recent grads, it’s also, and maybe primarily, those that never graduated, and likely never attended, Georgia. Sure we love ‘em, we just don’t think much of their criticism. These are all the same folks that trashed the North Campus and destroyed the hedges following that Tennessee game a few years back – the only respect they have is for themselves and Jack Daniels…and I’m not so sure about ‘themselves’.

So, we’ll see how the season plays out and win or lose I’d rather be in Athens than running ’serpentine’ between classes and/or the Varsity on North Avenue…and as for ‘owning us in the classroom’, just remember, we want you to keep up the good work. All owners and developers have to be able count on competent builders to do stuff that we pay for – oh yeah, what’s the latest about that parking garage that collapsed on your new (OSOTC – Other Side Of The Connector) campus a while back? Was that your guys that engineered that? Just want to be sure before we add anymore stuff over in Athens…shoot, we may have to hire somebody else.

I agree with you though, an education from UGA is solid and those that leave the institution with the diploma will succeed. Football is a game and deals with only a small portion of the campus population. I admire anyone who takes their education to the next level and improves. I always wanted to be an engineer and in the SE I only had two choices GT or Auburn. Now I could not have gone to Auburn…and UGA…No Engineering School.

I pick Georgia to clean the downtown Atlanta streets with Tech this year. If Georgia has just one game this year to fire on all cylinders I’m certain it will be against Tech. The only noteworthy game Tech had so far this year was a spanking against a Miami team that got exposed by Virginia Tech.

UGA defense will get hammered and the offense won’t move the ball. LSU remembers last year’s loss and will get revenge. Les Miles doesn’t forget.

As a Navy fan, I can definitely relate to GaTech through A.) Paul Johnson, and B.) being the underdog to a rival for so many years.
Do Bulldawg fans really believe that simply being an SEC team will garner wins over Tech? Through some sort of divine right and prestige inheritance? For years, Air Force had that belief over Navy. “It was just a fluke”, the first time we beat them with Paul Johnson. After 5 years of beating Air Force, it is clear that Navy success has not been a fluke. We had a crappy football tradition as of late… we were accustomed to losing. Paul Johnson changed that. So, I ask again, do Dawg fans really that being in the ACC, GaTech doesn’t hold a candle to Georgia? You laugh, but time will tell. If Georgia is so good, they’ll win, despite the conference. If not, they’ll lose.

Why is everyone on here harping on strength of schedule?

Tech and uga’s are pretty much even. Yeah, uog has Florida (maybe tebowless) and (a vastly overrated) LSU. Toss in Auburn (still hasn’t played anyone), Tech, and OK St (lost to Houston at home), and its definitely a tough schedule. Then again, there are also some snoozers in there: Arkansas, Arizona St (just because you barely beat them doesn’t mean its a tough game), Tennessee, Tennessee Tech (at least Jacksonville St. is 2-2), and Kentucky.

Tech on the other hand plays Va Tech, uog, FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC. That’s not a cake walk either. Clemson nearly beat a top 15 team last week, FSU pummeled BYU the week before, uog is supposedly the second coming of jesus, Miami will run up the score on Oklahoma this weekend in better weather.

Just to clear the air… College Gameday math is irrelevant. Miami loss + VaTech win over Miami = exposed team and yadda, yadda, yadda…
Each Saturday is it’s own animal. It’s one team versus another. You win or you lose. I am confident that GaTech will beat Georgia again, not because of superior athletes, but a better strategy and better coaching. Any other reference to wins and losses earlier in the season is just an excuse.

Both sides are illustrating the biggest issue facing both schools: being concerned about everything but the task at hand. I’m not even thinking about UGAG yet. We have other Bulldogs to worry about – a Bulldog team that actually had a chance at beating the #4 team in the country. Week to week, gentlemen – week to week.

I’m sure UGAG doesn’t have the luxury of looking ahead to Thanksgiving weekend and I know we don’t. Jeff, why not save this blog to a little further in the season next time. There’s plenty to talk about for both programs without stirring the pot for a game two months away, like, oh, I don’t know, the fact that GT has a possible showdown for their div. championship in two weeks (that is, if they get through FSU on the 10th). And how about UGA’s annual potential implosion against Tennesse – that is, after they face THE #4 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!. Sheesh.

Tech has played two Top 25 teams. Record 1-1, the loss coming on the road in their third game in 13 days. Georgia is 0-1 against the Top 25, with a road loss. We’ll know a good deal more after this weekend.

Jeff,

It is way too early for this kind of talk. If you judged UGA after 10 games in 2006 when they were 6-4 and had lost to Vandy and Kentucky, you would have said they would have tanked it against Auburn and Ga. Tech. But they pulled it together. In 2007, after getting whipped 35-14 by the Vols and barely beating Vandy, most bloggers would have been happy for a Peach Bowl Bid. But they pulled it together.

I agree that the Dawgs aren’t playing great football, which mean they’re due for a loss pretty soon. But the thing about this team is that they don’t quit and that shouldn’t go un-noticed. They have proven that they can finish games. If it’s close in the 4th quarter, I think UGA can hang in there and beat anyone.

Jeff you must have covered a game in Cali this weekend and gotten hold of some medical marijuana! Say what you want about the Dawgs, but they keep on winning. These Tech blow- hards only feel the way they do because of one victory last year. Jeff this is reality, Tech played a decent not great Miami team and got spanked royalie, they’ll play Va.Tech and get peed on like a tree stump, and when we come here the players will be so ticked off for last years performance they will not let it happen again. As for you Tech wankers, reality is a motherf**ker is’nt it. You will lose and lose hard. Just like you nerdy boys end up with the pretty girls, they always come and creep with the bad boys… usually off your money!!! Tech we are those bad boys.

Georgia is always discounted with reality. We hype them so much, not unlike Ohio State and a few others that we begin to believe the hype not our eyes, nor the record. They must go to a lot of trouble to find Az.State or OK. State as opponents. That along tells you they are hiding something over there in Athens. Of course Ohio State decided to play a real team and got beat by USC and he has Herbstreit on ESPN bad mouthing LSU of all teams to help the big ten overcome the SEC sex appeal, but I don’t think anyone considered Georgia a contender more less a conference standard bearer this year as Ohio State was.

This is an obvious attempt to get a fire started between the dawg and bug bloggers, but that’s ok. All UGA needs to do is find a way to cut down on turnovers and penalties and they’ll be fine. The defense is much better this year it’s just the turnovers are giving the opposition a short field. IF they can get this straightened out, tech goes down easily. Even at their high school stadium.

As the old professor that brought football to UGA, I hate to agree with you, but I do – mainly due to coaching.

Tech has a coach that reminds me of Wally Butts, specifically, someone who gets mad when players don’t act mature or when they don’t perform their assignments on the field of battle.

UGA has a coach who would make a lovely son-in-law and church youth group leader.

As I told Tony B yesterday, you guys just don’t do your homework. You spout off, then post your statements of ignorance. I see it is Jeff’s turn today.

Jeff, who would you say is the better team between Mississippi State and Georgia? I’ll wait. Now, who played LSU last week and had four, count them, 1… 2… 3… 4, four turnovers last week against LSU? Okay, I better help you on this one… Mississippi State. And how close were they to beating them?

Yeah, okay, now tell me who on MSU’s team equates to the players UGA has on Offense? Can you? No, I didn’t think so, though I would take Dixon as an argument, that is for sure.

So, if MSU can play LSU close, and an LSU team that is struggling with the running game, cough….35 yards last week… cough, I would have to say UGA has a better than a coin flip chance against LSU. I mean, it isn’t like LSU has done anything to date this year. And against UGA the past three games, because if I go further back it won’t help my argument, so bare with me, the average score is something like 43 UGA to 23. Yeah, those don’t matter this year, but what have they done?

And GT…. the long run, huh. We shall see. They should just count their blessings as they can’t pass the ball period. At least we know UGA has the ability to throw the ball, it has been proven. We know for a fact GT can’t.

With Caleb King shaking the rust off, look for him to be a pretty solid RB.

Oh well, everyone is entitled to an opinion but sometimes people who speak without all the facts straight, well… their opinion gets filed in the trash can.

That is 1… 2… 3… 4… Jeff, come on, I know you can do it. Then again, you might think Mississippi State is the better team than Georgia.

Too many variables to know what these teams will look like almost 2 months from now. The Tech-UNC game last year showed how vulnerable this offense is to breaking down with one key injury (i.e., Nesbitt).

Despite all of the problems that you cite, UGA has found a way to win those games against USC, Arizona State, and Arkansas.

I’ll say this much. I do like our coach. Seeing the job that he did adjusting both the offense and defense between the UM and UNC games proved a lot to me. The man knows what he’s doing. Our previous HC would have stayed the course (and probably lost).

Yellow fuzz, when you played for teck how many times did they beat UGA? You should be used to losing to UGA by now since teck does it so often..
I’d say 59/39/5 and 7 out of the last 8 makes teck UGS’s bitch. Always has been and always will be. The fact they recruited someone like you is exactly why or maybe you were a scout team walk on.

ChrisinIndy, are you slow? The quality of athlete is on the decline at UGA.

Tell me which of these is not a quality athlete:

AJ Green(So), Orson Charles(Fr), Aron White(So), Tavarres King(So), Rontavious Wooten(Fr), Caleb King(So), Branden Smith(Fr), Brandon Boykin(So), Bacarri Rambo(Fr), Sanders Commings(Fr), Marcus Dowtin(So), Justin Huston(So), DeAngelo Tyson(So), Aaron Murray(Fr), Justin Anderson(So), Ben Jones(So), Cordy Glen(So), I am sure there a re a few more,

but that is a list of folks that are starters or get considerable playing time in the two deep rotation. Notice, moron, that they are all true freshman and true sophomores, maybe one or two is a redshirt, but I think I am fairly accurate.

Georgia has not lost its way in recruiting, not one bit. You will see this same team next year, that is, on offense, but with a different QB, but with three Elite 11 QB’s on the roster awaiting there chance, I think we will find someone to fill the shoes of Joe Cox.

UGA isn’t going anywhere. And the only place Georgia Tech is going is to swim in the same place they always swim… 7-9 win seasons, and a secondary Bowl and no ACC Championship. But time will dictate that, wont it.

A team has to be able to throw the ball, Tech fans, as it won’t win you an ACC title if you don’t. Yes, an occasional game, but no, not a title.

Go DAWGS!!!

Obviously both teams can use improvement.

As a tech fan, I use defend pup’s QB Cox, but now I’m not sure. The dogs have to allow Logan to place a series or two. Not just against a second tier school, but he needs the experience from the sec. My brother, the Dawg or Dawgs and I attended the spring game in Athens. I’ve seen some improvements, but there’s room to grow!

Now, to my beloved Jackets, I saw a total different game last Saturday. Lots of room for improvement, but the Scoreboard didn’t reflect the play on the field. I saw for the first time, that the Jackets are capable of lining up with any team and winning. The Jackets too must play assignment football. Yes, we ran more yards last year in the lost to North Carolina; nevertheless this year we only gave up one big play on Defense. We have a good team that can do some damage in the league This Year!

In closing, I rather see both teams progress through out the year. After all, “Most of the players are from our home state!”(Heck, I hope the pups beat the Gators with Tebow playing)

I just pull for my Alumn to win. I don’t care about blow outs. Just win the game.

As usual. “Ramblin Wreck and a Helluva Engineer!!”

Toates–this season signifies the decline of the UGA athlete.

A mediocre season and another loss to Tech will severly hamper UGA’s recruiting, especially in GA. Recruits are starting to see the simple truth: If I go to UGA, it might help me get into the NFL, but I will not be playing for an elite team in the process. I will be playing for a mid-pack SEC team with below-average coaching and a fan base that is never satisfied with my performance.

Ouch – you Tech fans get riled easily. Grant Field was downsized after you left the SEC and then moved to the ACC since Tech could not fill it playing an indy schedule from 1965-1977. Moving to the ACC didn’t help much in 1978. Only after you won part of the national title in 1990 did Tech take steps to enlarge it, and it took until 2001 to start that project. As for M – was UGA really ranked # 1 when Tech beat them last year?……You guys are worse than sportwriters, you never check any facts. UGA wasn’t even # 1 when they played Bama last year, much less when they played Tech……

The dean of the engineering college will not compromise his standards (to his credit) and the only way Tech fields a competitive team is to have this lame program. Oh, and by the way, do they continue to allow players to take classes at Morris Brown and transfer the credit back to Tech?

Tampa Wreck

September 29th, 2009
12:19 pm

It’s anybody’s guess right now who will be better the Saturday after thanksgiving. Both teams have major issues, but I also think both teams have some upside. I thibk Tech’s simplifying their defense will help. They won’t shut down a strong passing team, but hopefully can at least slow them down. On offense, they just need to execute. I am confident that will improve as the year goes along. I thibk getting Shaw back is going to help us. He won’t challenge Josh for the starting spot, but having a reliable backup for a couple of series a game to give Josh a break could be huge.

As for the dags, they’ve shown that if they can just eliminate the turnovers, they can put some points on the board. Their wide reciever is the real deal and will be a top 10 NFL draft choice or maybe higher when he’s ready to go (hopefully next year). If Cox can eliminate the mental mistakes and their backs can learn to hold on to the ball, the offense will be OK.

They have pretty good talent on defense, but they will never show it under Willie M. Any decent offense is gonna hang 30+ on them. I’m looking for a real shootout in November. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if both teams were in the 40s again.. Should be fun

Go Jackets and THWG.

ChrisinIndy, how do you do in life? Are you always right? Or are you talking out your a$$? Sorry, but until GT can learn to throw the ball, your program will not get to the next step. It will win games, hence me indicating you win up to 9 games, but you will lose your share. Heck, look what Miami did to you. I see a similar fate with VT, but that is why you play the game. You never know.

I mean, Clemson, of all teams, shut you down once they caught their breath, and came up just a bit short. And they are not good! You will see that throughout this year, so don’t tell me GT is back, not without a passing attack to balance it out. Because if a team as poor as Clemson can do that, so can some of the other teams in the ACC. Lose one more, say to VT, and lose to UGA, there is your 9 win season..

Oh, and I forgot, speaking of coaches, has your coach learned to control his emotions at all?

On paper, Georgia recruits better, and should because of that be the better team. See Scout or Rivals team rankings over past 5 years to confirm this. Don’t be fooled though, I’m sure the seperation between the teams as far as talent is concerned is not as far apart as one might think. As far as coaching is concerned, Tech leads hands down. Coaching is the equilizer in this case. That’s why Georgia is playing below it’s talent level and Tech is playing above it’s talent level. Richt at some point will figure out that coaching is like everything else in life. Some people excel at what they do, they are natural born leaders, and some are not. Johnson just needs to expand his offense beyond the triple option, maybe use the spread? Toss it a around a little more.

So far this year Tech has run the ball better then UGA, and UGA has thrown the ball better than TECH…due to the RECORDS and the RANKINGS of remaining schedeule for both teams UGA clearly has a tougher row to hoe…that being said it all really boils down to the NOV 28th game when Tech goes the way of Yellow Fuzz and his tickle pile mates and GOES DOWN 31-17…

But because you listed three options and every single one of them is incorrect, I stand by my reasoning that your prediction of the Dawgs demise due to a lesser quality of athlete because UGA’s tie has come, is flat out wrong.

And, if on was going to end a post with “anyway”, the more than likely would have written it this way, “Anyway…”.

yellowjacket82: Arkansas also tried to double-team Green quite a bit and that didn’t work too well. It opened up the other passing lanes not to mention the run.

Neither UGA nor GT has exhibited any predilection toward really stopping anyone so far this year though UGA improved against ASU (though that is a bit smoky: not sure how good ASU is offensively). Tech looked woeful against UM. Only time will tell. If “it” happened this weekend, I’d predict a very high-scoring shootout/last team scores-wins kind of affair. It doesn’t though: UGA-LSU does. Both of those teams have much to prove: both have raised huge question marks.

Obviously this report was good for banter (ill-natured and some not-as-ill-natured); however it’s not even quite mid-season yet. That said I guess based on the number of comments Mr. Schultz had a “successful” story….signing off

AZ Jacket, you are a total moron.

We need to ‘partition the ACC’? Are we trying to divide the ACC up or request to a be a part of it? That would be petition genius.

Last I checked, you ‘throw’ a pass, not ‘through’ it.

And you ‘lose’ a player, you do not ‘loose’ them.

I always love to see the Techies calling people morons and then removing all doubt about their lack of intelligence by completely butchering the English language. I know, you went to Tech, so English is probably not your first language anyway.

When are these players and coaches going to get serious about some damn football? I like many others fans am tired of the inconsistent and lackluster play. When is both offensive and defensive lines going to whip the guys in front of them? What has big fat Jeff Owens been doing besides getting blocked into his other team mates? These guys want to dance and celebrate? What the hell for? We have heard for years now that the players are gonna be great we are very close. Close to what may I ask ? Weve heard the young players excuse, injury excuse and now the parity excuse. We deserves some answers CMR and you are paid well too I might add. Now all CMR does now is still make excuses and defends the dancing players with the game still not decided. PATHETIC! Why cant UGA get over the hump?

It will also be the same with Sturdivant , he is sadly through because the injury will always linger in ones mind and they will never give the effort or 110 %. The O & D lines do look like a bunch of dancing bears and cant seem to whip their opponent for some reason but thats UGA football under Richt!

Man is Tech’s offense boring to watch. What is going to catch up to them 2 is that recruits are going to start to realize if they want to play at the next level they better go to a school with a pro style offense.

When players leave tech they will be totally unprepared for the NFL. Thats going to show up in recruiting sooner than later.

I guess BigMike had to get back to work after dreaming of his three cars and having a girlfriend….

To whoever the ignorant poster was that was implying that the “Industrial Management” department at Tech was weak…first of all there is no Industrial Management Degree at Tech. It is a BS in Management. I know because it’s hanging in my office beside my MBA. I will say it is an easier program than engineering, but I will put it against anything business related at UGA or anywhere else in the ACC or SEC.

FrankWren- the majority of college football players are not going to play a down in the NFL. For the few that get a chance, the style of offense might matter to them. For the rest, they should be looking at where they can get a degree to prepare for the real world by playing football on scholarship. What kind of offense the school runs is not going to be high on that list.

I have been watching UGA football for over 40 years and have never seen a team like this. Not even the 78 Wonderdogs. The Dawgs could very easily lose the next eight games. If they could go plus eight in turnovers the next eight games, they could win them all. But all I want is to win the last one. And I think they will. and that will make Techs’ season a disaster.

Yellow Fuzz — you’re the one living in the past. I have two nephews who recently started college. Both had outstanding transcripts and SAT scores. Both got accepted to Tech, neither got accepted to Georgia although that is where they both wanted to go. It is harder to get accepted at UGA than GT now — catch-up with the times! Also, everyone knows that if Richard Samuels doesn’t fumble that kick-off return — UGA still wins the game, even with our cornerback trying to bump Dwyer out of bounds instead of wrapping him up. Things will be diffrent this year — this year’s team has more heart and desire than last year’s team.

Afdog- check the US News Rankings for average entrance GPA and scores for both schools, as well as the rankings for best public universities. Both are ranked highly and are a good value in education. But… “It is harder to get accepted at UGA than GT now “. You are dreaming if you think that is true, just like you are dreaming “what if” Samuels hadn’t fumbled that kickoff. The only reason UGA was even in the game in the second half is Stafford and MM were unstoppable (no way spelling that name), both are now gone. Believe me, I would not have wanted to see what would have happened if UGA got the ball back at the end. Fortunately Tech’s offense did not let that happen.

drbasic1 said: “ACC in no way shape or form holds a candle to the SEC and the same can be said about Tech as they stink.”

Here are some Facts about the ACC.”
The following graphic and comments were noted on Raycom TV during the GT-BC game last year:

“MORE PLAYERS WERE DRAFTED FROM THE ACC, 115, OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS THAN FROM ANY OTHER CONFERENCE! THIS INCLUDES THE #1, 2, AND 3 PICKS: MATT RYAN, BC; CALVIN JOHNSON, GT; AND MARIO WILLIAMS, NC STATE!”

This was also noted in the AJC: http://www.ajc.com/gatech/content/sports/gatech/stories/2008/09/15/georgiatechacc_sec.html in an article by KEN SUGIURA.

I will grant you that the SEC is slightly stronger this year mainly because of Florida and Alabama but the ACC is close behind and the seaon isn’t over.

Here are the current Sagarin Ratings:

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2009 through results of 2009 SEPTEMBER 26 SATURDAY
RATING and PREDICTOR are now bayesian and the ELO-CHESS is bayesian now.
CONFERENCE CENTRAL MEAN SIMPLE AVERAGE TEAMS

1 PAC-10 (A) = 79.19 78.92 ( 2) 10
2 SOUTHEASTERN (A) = 78.90 79.17 ( 1) 12
3 ATLANTIC COAST (A) = 77.65 77.09 ( 3) 12
4 BIG 12 (A) = 76.85 76.80 ( 4) 12
5 BIG EAST (A) = 75.96 75.54 ( 5) 8
6 BIG TEN (A) = 75.28 75.44 ( 6) 11
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbc09.htm

This has not always been the case, however. In 2004, for instance, Sagarin rated the ACC as the #1 college football conference as cited in this article:

Sagarin: ACC #1 College Football Conference
By: Jeff Jan 7, 2005

http://www.statefansnation.com/index.php/archives/2005/01/07/sagarin-acc-1-college-football-conference/

The Atlantic Coast Conference is accustomed to holding the top spot in USA Today’s Sagarin Ratings, but that top spot is traditionally reserved for the conference’s basketball prowess. Although NC State may have experienced its worst football season of the Chuck Amato era… the Atlantic Coast Conference ’s new additions helped the conference flex enough balanced muscle to claim this year’s designation as the #1 conference in college football.
The ACC schools finished as follows:
(#7) Virginia Tech
(#9) Miami
(#16) Florida State
(#22) Virginia
(#25) Georgia Tech
(#35) North Carolina
(#40) NC State
(#45) Clemson
(#47) Maryland
(#67) Wake Forest
(#90) Duke

Furthermore, the ACC won 6 of 10 regular season games against the SEC in 2008 including, in case you forgot, Tech 45 Dawgs 42. TECH HAS MORE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS THAN GEORGIA AND HOLD THE LONGEST WIN STREAK OF 8 IN A ROW!! Sniff that, dawgie!

Who knows at this point. UGA has good talent, so maybe just maybe Justin Houston keeps progressing into a mean pass rusher and the UGA defense learns to cause turnovers. Forcing turnovers, not even reducing their own, would radically improve the Dawgs since they’ve been good in the red zone. I have given up on penalties and Bobo/Martinez as coordinators though.

Tech in my opinion will ALWAYS be a hit or miss team. I don’t know that option football can be national championship material, so they will continue to win some tough games and falter in others. Johnson is definitely a winner though, so they are on solid ground.

You knew you would stir up a “beehive” and a ton of posts with that topic, Jeff. Pretty smart. I, for one, am proud that the state of Georgia has two such fine football programs with such long, rich traditions that can be matched by very few other states. I can think of Alabama, Michigan, Texas [huge state], California [huge state], and Florida [since the 1960's]. I root for both teams to win until they play each other.

It really depends on which Tech team shows up. They have been embarrassed by Miami. They have also handled UNC. Last year they were embarrassed by UNC. If the prepared team shows up, it will be a good game, since Georgia still has the superior talent. Tech’s coaching makes the game interesting and a toss up.

Either would lose to Florida.

A key factor, as someone said, will be injuries – how many, any to key players, and whether the subs can step up. Tech had 3 starters out on defense against UNC and it didn’t hurt them.

We will have our down years, every team does. The bad thing is your team is at there peak and are still average. Tech will NEVER have the program UGA does!

Hate to say this, but I agree with Jeff. Until we(Dawgs) stop the stupid turnovers and penalties we will not be favored to win any games. The defense looked much better, but if you turn the ball over 3 times in any of the up coming games and comitt 10+ penalties we are going to be embarrassed. Step it up in those areas it can still be a special team.

Tech has a good team. They play a softer schedule so they do have the advantage. I don’r mean this as a knock. It’s just the truth.

GT will finish the season either 9-3 or 11-1
Uga will finish the season 7-5 or 8-4

GT has better coaching, an offense that works and by end of the year (barring an injury) will be running on all cylinders.

UGA will be coming off a disappointing loss to Auburn and will be repaid for 51-7 a few years back.

Even Martinez will be able to devise a plan to shut down that high school option you run this year. We’ll stack the box and force your qb to throw (which he can’t) and it will be another Dawg victory at Sanford West. Every time I’m there I feel like it’s another Georgia home game….

South carolina beat nc state by 4 points an and both scores came off the two turnovers inside their own 20. Those teams are very much even. Tech has beaten the 19th ranked tarheels, and lost to a team the popped in the top 10 on the road. Let me know when ugay beats a team worth a flip or even RANKED for that matter! Last year you only beat 1 ranked team all year that finished in the top 25 and that was the terrible spartans who got murdered by ohio state and penn state.

The honeymoon is over on the flats. CPJ will never top 9 wins again. It took 2 Division ii schools last season to get 9 victories. They don’t have that cushion this year.

Reason 1)
Good defenses are catching up to Paul Johnson’s style of play. He adjusts his blocking schemes based on what the defenses are doing. But players have good film on these adjustments and can be ready for them in game situations.

Reason 2)
Good defenses will be able to disrupt the rhythm of the option attack. Taking the action into the backfield forces quicker pitches. Eliminating the options faster allows the rest of the defense to react to the final ballcarrier and begin gang tackling (tough to do, but teams that can stop a dive play and pressure with DE’s will have success, here).

Reason 3:
CPJ cannot recruit. He can do more with average OL than other coaches. But why would a top RB, top QB, or top WR want to play in this system. It has been said by talent scouts that Dwyer’s stats and accomplishments are deemed as skewed. He is considered a 50/50 shot by the experts (not a can’t miss back). Nesbit was recruited as a passing QB. And this is what he’s able to accomplish in this system.

4) He had a losing record against BCS opponents before he came to Tech. This system is not for the big boys. There’s a reason that his option attack isn’t utilized by the NFL.

The honeymoon is over. Let the big Dawg eat.

Rednecks are jokes,
I wouldn’t poke fun at Houston too much. They’ve won at OSU & beat Texas Tech.
Their resume is more impressive than most teams in the country right now.

Couple that with the #6 scoring offense and #2 passing offense in the nation.
And you have a team that will be able to make a little noise this season.

If Tech were to win the Orange Bowl, would we then be HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ? I think I’ll take it. Paul Johnson could be high
school national coach of the year and a degree from Tech would be recognized as a high school degree. We could be named Tech High.
Then UGA would be known as UGA-Elementary. Thats where this idiot process is going.
Was UGA the only preseason #1 in history to lose to a high school offense ? I think it was. Oh, how bitter we can become. That FACT even
makes me sad.

AZ Jacket: Thanks for the kudos on the prior post. I’ll try to keep this one shorter, to match your attention span.

You say I shouldn’t comment about Tech, but you don’t offer any rational commentary as to why I should not. I think my assessment of them is a fair one. Tech’s defense, as one might expect from the losses incurred from last year’s DL, is suspect (so is Georgia’s, by the way, but we’re not talking about them right now). Tech’s passing offense doesn’t exactly strike fear into opposing defensive coordinators. Would you say that is a fair assessment? And, yes, Tech’s offense is predicated upon quick strike capability from the running game–but you can’t stop the clock with an “incomplete run.” Everyone who knows anything about football knows that having the ability to pass in the clutch is the best way to milk the clock in an attempted comeback. Tech’s offense, while capable of “quick strikes,” is predicated upon misdirection and precision execution. You make a few defensive guys muff their assignments and it’s off to the races, like the Goergia game last season. Moreover, the Jackets have quite a number of talented backs. But the offense’s flaw is its lack of balance. It is limited when the passing game needs to be used (i.e. when the clock is winding down). That’s why I said that the offense works well when Tech is ahead–or when there is plenty of time (i.e. a half of football) for a comeback. And it works well if there are no turnovers; turnovers are why Tech lost to UNC last season (I stand by that statement, as well). But you and your fellow Jacket brethren are delusional if you think this Tech team will win the ACC–or even your division. They are not as deeply flawed in execution as Georgia has been this season, but there is, quite simply, a talent deficit that the Jackets cannot surmount that will allow them to beat the Virginia Techs of the world just yet. Paul Johnson is a great coach–not just good, but great–and he knows how to win. But he doesn’t have the horses to challenge for a national title this season, or even to be a major player on the national scene. If Georgia played Tech right now, I’ll admit that the Jackets would probably win. But Richt’s younger teams have this history of starting slowly. There’s no telling where the two teams will be by the end of the season, when the COFH game will be played. THAT was my point. And I think I make more tangible arguments about Tech’s immediate football futures than you do–seeing as yours are rooted in emotion, not fact. We’ll find out where the two squads are in November. Tech could be the better team then–but Georgia’s young talent could begin to gel by then, as well. It’s happened before–quite recently, in fact.

Sorry if the truth hurts. Real men just deal with it.

It is noticeable now as the Techie grads are finding no body wants an individual who can not communicate in a rational manner, such as yourself. Dogs rule you and your school. However, good luck until the end of November.

I can’t believe you suggested Joe Cox week 1 and Joe Cox week 4 were remotely close.

week 1, 15-30 162 1 TD 1 INT
week 4, 17-31 242 1 TD 2 INT

2 poor decisions that were INT’s but he actually looked like he belonged in the game, unlike week 1.

Bottom line, our 2 worst offensive performances were when we threw the football 30 times. We need to keep it around 25.

Georgia is always ranked higher when it doesn’t matter (IE preseason, early in the season, after the bowl teams are selected, end of season, etc). But the pollsters love to overlook them when things matter!

Georgia was ranked higher than MountainDawg on New Years eve, last year in the polls when Tech waded through the trash to get to sanford Stadium. And we spotted your hairy azzes not one but TWO touch downs at the half and then preceded to shellack your azz in the 2nd half (26-0 in 3rd qtr alone). The polls couldn’t save your ugly azzes that day dawg nation. At the end of that day (the 2008 Georgia Bowl-or Georgia State Championship), we won 45-42, rushed for 408 yards, and two backs (for the first time in the history of Georgia football), rushed for over 100 yards in the same game. You can look it up! Just be glad you had matt Stafford to keep the final score close.

Georgia’s defense was shredded that day (like the hedges). And here is why we expect the same outcome this year:
1. Our players want to beat georgia far more than georgia’s players want to beat Tech.
2. tech is not afraid to get bloody and Georgia is afraid to lose
3. the dawg nation is getting pretty damn good at blaming, referees, the weather, their coaches, their tailgaters, Announcers, game day commentators, etc for their short comings (and Rivals and scout.com are quick to support them).
4. No wonder their great players ALWAYS forgo their senior season there!
5. Tech prepares for this game like it’s a bowl game. All practices are closed to the media and our players are too intelligent to fall for the “planted spy” motivational crap-LOL.
6. Our coaches are watching film and coaching 24/7 while Georgia coaches prefer to treat it like any other game and are out recruiting.
7. Georgia returned all but one starter on defense from last year’s team (lol)
8. Georgia plays Auburn and Kentucky the two weeks before us while we play Duke and that Off Week guy.
9. The Tech Nation wants to follow the “Wedges by the Hedges” with “Pound the Hound”.
10. Payback is Hell and though we won last year, you have quite a few more years to pay for.
11. because Yellow Fuzz said so.

BullDawg,
According the Sagarian, as featured in the nationally syndicated USA Today Newspaper, UGA has the 6th hardest schedule in the country and GT has the 16th. Auburn’s is 107th, almost the easiest.

Anyway, both have tough schedules and once UGA plays Tenneessee Tech the SoS will be even closer because GT has already played JSU.

As you are aware, we have made changes at Tech.

Our goal is to take care of Georgia first and foremost, dominate the ACC second and become a BCS contender third. It will take time but as you are aware we have already taken care of the dogs (26-0 3rd qtr bitch slapping) and have laid the ground work to do it again (Auburn & Kentucky vs. Duke and off week).

You and Hershal can keep living in the past little man. We want the future. We already have the present (45-42).

At georgia, you “fit the mold”. At Georgia Tech, we make the mold.

Bottom line – There’s absolutely NOTHING to be gained for UGA by playing Tech. Conversely, playing UGA makes Tech’s schedule and provides that program with some degree of respectibiity. For example, look at their schedule this year………..Jax. State, Clemson, NC, “The U”, FSU (embarrassing what’s happened to that program),Weak Forest, VA, Duke, Miss. St., Vandy, VT (got buried by one of the top SEC teams)and UGA. Take UGA off the schedule and Tech’s got NOTHING!!!

I’d like to see UGA and the SEC make a move to go back to an 11 game schedule and play every team in the conference + drop the Trade school for aforementioned reason + play the bowl schedule as is + 4/5 team playoff for NC.

BTW, UGA did defeat the Tigers last year (on their home field). 52 – 38 was the score. Like I said, Dawgs seem to focus a little better when they play top flite competition. Hope they can find a way to win this weekend. You ought to try and watch the game if you have time. It NATIONALLY televised (again) at 3:30 on CBS. You guys are playing where?

Sautee Dawg, know your history about Tech. Did not leave the SEC for easier path. Left the SEC for reasons of scholarships and at the time financial issues with SEC. Tech continued to play the SEC during their time as an independant. Always scheduled Georgia, Ala., Auburn, Tenn.. Took on ND in their prime. Don’t talk about things that you do not know my friend. Joined the ACC because it was not in their best interest to go as independant. Joining a conference is about the money my friend not about who your play or when you play them
