Between Dogs and Jackets, only one is dressed for success

Not much to say. Jeff tells it like it is. I would hope that Richt can see the writing on the wall, and that he is ready to make these sorely-needed changes in the offseason.

I’m concerned already about next year and the QB situation. Neither Murray or Mettenberger will be ready, and Gray seems like a complete question mark, no better than Cox.

One thing is for sure, this season is done.

Your SEC argument does not hold water anymore, just ask Alabama when they played Utah last year. Granted, Alabama and Florida area great programs, but that is all the SEC has got, just like every other conference. Only 1 to 2 teams dominate each conference and the SEC is not exception.

Look, quit bragging about the SEC and how tough it is, and learn to win the big games. Focus in teams and not conferences. OSU already put you away and exposed you in the opener, so just can it.

When you look around Stanford Stadium and see empty seats against LSU at home, the AD has to understand there is a problem. UGAY has had problems since 1981 and the program has tanked ever since.

Tell you what, join the ACC, Big 12, Big 10 or even the Pac-10 and you are going to have the same problems you are having now….no coaching.

Jeff this is too big of an indictment of the Richt regime in Athens. This was a rebuilding year. My August prediction was that UGA would win 8 games based on an average defense. And, to be honest, I also predicted Tech & the Falcons with 8 wins each. Again, based on defense.
Tech may beat the 8 I predicted but only because the offense out scored some opponents. The Tech defense really is bad.

I am a Tech fan from the 1950’s but I can see no way they can beat UGA

Tyler, Tech’s previous misfortunes were from a different program. The reason the ‘Dogs are so worried can be captured on their faces after the third quarter of last year’s Tech-Georgia game – - sheer disbelief that Tech has a coach who can actually coach. Tech gave up 28 points to Vandy in the first half and only 3 in the second half.

All you Georgia fans can continue to try and denigrate Tech instead of focus on fixing your team’s woes. You have the talent – - much better than Tech. Figure it out and fix it. If the SEC is going to continue to be the pre-eminent Conference in Div-I football you need to get your program on the right track. Florida expects to be playing for its 3rd BCS NC in four years – - and to continue excellence next year. What does Georgia expect to do, outside of try and belittle Tech’s success?

One or two seasons of success outweighs 8 seasons in a row of championship football? This dumb sportswriter keeps writing articles like this but just changes the title. He is pot stirrer.

8 years of Fact:

UGA wins 7 in a row before getting one 3 point win last year.
UGA wins 4 division titles….Yech 1.
UGA wins 2 conference titles….Yech 0.
UGA plays in 5 New Years Day Bowls…Yech 0.
UGA wins 4 NY Day bowls….Yech 0.
UGA beats Yech 51-7 for most lopsided loss to UGA ever.
UGA 0 ineligible players used…..Yech too many to count.
UGA over 80 wins….Yech…about 50 wins.
UGA 10 win seasons 7….Yech 0.
UGA top 10 finishes 4…Yech 0.
UGA top 5 finishes 3…Yech 0.
UGA uniform changes 3…Yech never knows what it real colors are.
Coach with class….UGA 1 Yech 0.

When you dominate the series for 8 years come see me JS. When Yech wins 80 games in 8 years…come see me. When Yech goes to 5 NY Day bowls in 8 years…come see. When Yech wins 1 conference title in the next 8 years…come see me. When Yech wins 4 NY Day bowls in 8 years…come see me. When Yech finishes in the top 10 or top 5 several times in thenext 8 years come see me.

Otherwise, Yech’s success and praise is warranted for what it is. Only a small amount of winning. Its does not equal or overcome ineptitude for the 8 years that CMR has been at UGA. 1 or 2 years of success is not = or > UGA’s success compared to Yech.

Its 2 years that’s it. Yap all you want…you can…but its minimal success until you do it consistently. Also, remember this…when UGA loses to Yech…its embarrassing and surprising…when Yech loses to UGA its just another in a long line of defeats…IOW…they’re are not surprised. One bad year at UGA (like 4-4)has been and still would be acceptable at Yech for its fan base. At UGA its cause for concern that the program is struggling…wow. All things are not equal…Yech good years are disaster at UGA. Yech fans still fear that they will lose to UGA this year…you aren’t cocky enough/sure enough to believe it until you see it. And this is in a “great year” where you have surpassed UGA….LOL!!!

College football is entering yet another new era. FSU and Miami dominated the ’80s with superior speed on both sides of the ball. A number of teams caught up (literally) with the team speed during the ’90s. We are now in an era where there are not than many players who bring superior skills. (I am a little tired of the Tebo “best quarterback ever” – would Peyton Manning never play on this Florida team?) Anyway, UGA and other schools (see FSU) keep recruiting the five star top player who has been coddled since he was in the seventh grade. The five star generally only sees college as getting in the way of the NFL. Unless you have a true tough minded coach who is not afraid to discipline, the team will always underperform.

Regarding Tech’s schedule: To this point Sagarin has Tech’s schedule rated as the 12th toughest (UGA’s is the 3rd toughest, so no one is saying UGA has played a tough schedule although they should drop quite a bit when they play Tn Tech). Not too bad considering only 2 teams in the top 10 have played tougher schedules. Here’s another few facts for you.

- Against the Sagarin top 20: GT is 2-1, UGA is 0-2
- Against the Sagarin top 50: GT is 5-1, UGA is 2-4
- Highest ranked team beaten: GT – #13 VT, UGA – #35 Ark
- Lowest ranked team lost to: GT #16 Miami, UGA #30 Tenn

FYI, the lowest ranked team both GT and UGA has played is the same, Vandy at #127 (of course that will change this coming week). Imagine a mighty SEC team is hurting GT’s strength of schedule more than the FCS team they played (#104 Jax State).

Another interesting fact: UGA is the only SEC team with tougher SOS than GT at this point, however 3 ACC teams have played tougher schedules. Kudos to UGA for stepping up their OOC schedule for once, shame on the rest of the SEC for the usual weak OOC scheduling.

You SEC bigots are really getting old. Take out Florida and Alabama and none of the remaining SEC teams would win the ACC. Tech is 4-1 against the SEC over the last 2 years and has scored over 100 points this year against 2 SEC defenses this year. Against UGA they are likely to lay out another 50 or so.

Im tired of MOST UGA fans saying that TECH always plays a weak schedule. But really, if tech plays any team in the top 25, Georgia fans can say absolutely nothing. At least GT wins against teams that they play who are actually worthy of playing. Georgia on the other hand, especially this year, struggles to win any game. Even when they play a team that in any other conference they would call a weak team, they still struggle. I mean, UGA got completely run back into Georgia when they played TEN, a team that hasnt even been considered for a top 25 vote all year. You, UGA fans say that Vandy is a worthy Opponent when you play them, but when GT plays them they are a weak team. How is that correct in any sense. VANDY plays good against most teams all the time, whether their record shows it or not. For all we know, UGA will get beat by TEN TECH at this point.Good thing UGA plays them at home…..oh wait, you cant even beat AZ STATE at home. So TEN TECH is a formidable opponent this week for a mediocre at best UGA. Tech plays a game this week that still matters toward our ACC hopes and that may actually help us in the polls. Also to UGA Fans, we may only play one top 5 team a year, and 2 sometimes 3 top 10 teams a year, but at least we win against them when we play them. That would a descent schedule because you have win for your schedule to even be looked at for strength; the strength of it doesnt matter a bit if you win only half of your games.

Ok, you are in denial and of course they SHOULD win this week, that isn’t saying much. Dawg fans you can say one thing that Cox did that Stafford couldn’t, Cox got the ball in the endzone against the same Florida defense 2 times and Stafford could only do it once. Plus this years defense was older, bigger, and better than they were last year. Cox didn’t have much of a chance with a bad defense and no back like Moreno against probably the best defense in College Football and if they are not the best they are in the top 3. 8 Games = 8 Touchdowns Allowed, 75 Points Allowed………by the defense.

Jeff, you did a great job rubbing the UGA fans noses in their crappy season. I am a TECH fan but I don’t pretend to hate UGA. I think CMR is a great guy, but he is a “players” coach and “players” coaches never get out of their players what they should (see C. Gailey). They make their way by being great in living rooms and recruiting great talent. A “players” coach with a dip in talent and/or a weak coaching staff is a recipe for inconsistency (see FSU and Tenn). Trust me; we had to deal with the mess that was Chan Gailey who thought 7 wins and a bowl loss was a great season. Gailey knew football, but was more of Cub Scout den leader than a college football coach. In short, as long as you have CMR, you will have great seasons, and you will have seasons like this one. PRAY that you don’t start losing recruits to TENN.

It’s a shame you are only 10th in the BCS, I am 100% confident you beat Iowa, Cincinnati, Boise State, and TCU. It is kind of B.S. to because Boise State will win out for sure, Cincinnati plays one more good team, same with TCU, and if Iowa had been playing a decent team yesterday they would have lost. They throw 5 interceptions and still win, they barely beat a bad team the week before too. Tech should be 6 at worst, too bad I can’t vote.

J Clay, the conference talk typically doesn’t come from GT fans … it’s the sore losers from UGA that’s grasping for something. Agree with your results, except bet we would be in better game with LSU and FL, possibly beating one of them.

So, can you please clarify this for us Jeff? You do or do not believe Thomas is a better receiver than Green? You draw a contrast between the two and express your frustration that no one but you seems to notice the great year Thomas is having. So, what exactly was your point? Thomas is the better receiver? Or, you don’t believe that he is and you were just wasting our time drawing a pointless contrast?

The point of Jeff’s aricle was the “direction” that both teams are taking. He says nothing about GT being a powerhouse. He simply states the obivous. GT is ranked in the top 10 and winning games (no matter the conference). UGA is struggling. Doesn’t mean UGA will stink forever but it does tell the story of this season. You dawg fans need to settle down and see it for what it is. You have some issues but they can be corrected. I would be proud that you are considered a bad team for being .500. Shows the success you are accustomed to…which is a good thing. Go Tech!

THANKS JEFF, I’ll agree that UGA probably has superior talent(4-5 stars). but what the hell?, They don’t know what to do with the talent when they get it. CPJ has plain out coached CMR in coaching up some players. To hear GA. fans talk, your recruits don’t have to be coached up. I just cannot understand why you guys get so POed at GT when you loose and we haven even played you this year. GT cannot help it because your program is loosing, don’t be mad at us, look to see where the buck stops and I will kiss yout butt on the court house steps and give you a week to draw a crowd if any of UGA’s current problems are GT’s fault. And as I have said before, don’t get in a braying contest with a bunch of jackasses.

Say what you want UGAy fans. Fact is GT is 8-1 with a championship game in sight, a BCS bowl around the corner and 13-1 is a real possibility. Dawgs are, well just that, DOGS, 4-4, maybe not even bowl eligible after 75% of the season has past. Going no where. So it really doesnt’t matter who’s league is better, who had a better record in prior years or who ESPN puckers up to. Words are meaningless, we will settle this Nov 28, please bring those godawful black helmets to match the embarassment we will heap on you.

Hey, Dawg ‘88

Enjoy living in your past. And while your there it’s been almost 30 years since a Nat’l Championship showed up in Athens. And that year, you had Tech to thank for that one. If the Jackets didn’t tie Notre Dame at home UGA wouldn’t even have one title.

Try these facts:
- UGA annually states they have one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.
- UGA puts their athletes through grueling classes for degrees like Recreational Science
- Tech’s Starting Center has over a 3.0 grade point average in Aerospace Engineering
- Not too many colleges out recruiting kids for Engineering degrees to play D1 college football

And how are the puppy dawgs doing this year with all those fine recruits!

Thanks Jeff for what you’re saying about the Georgia program. It needs to be said. It’s not that I think the uniforms are bad (other than being hideously ugly), it’s that the coach seems to truly think the uniforms fire up the team. Heck, we were down 7-0 after 2:39 seconds. So much for a spark. I don’t think Nick Saban will change his uniforms next time ‘Bama has a big game. Mack Brown didn’t seem to need such a gimmick to fire up his team against Oklahoma State. Richt has simply run out of ideas and needs to step down.

The difference between CPJ and CMR is that CPJ will not accept anything less than the best or else he will call his team out and then work to make things better. After a lackluster win over a mediocre opponent,CMR will smile and say that any win is great no matter how many penalties or turnovers they had in the game.He doesn’t seem to think they need any improvemwent because they won the game. CPJ will blow somebody out and still find faults with his team.Good coaches do that. And they do it publicly. I’m a big UGA fan, but as long as they are playing like they have, then criticism is the only thing you can do to demand excellence.Alabama fans demanded it until they got Saban, and UGA fans should demand better.I’m not saying fire CMR because I do like him, but I would like for him to demand better of his team including recruiting the best players he can and then coaching them up.If he needs to replace an assistant who isn’t pulling his weight, then he should replace him with someone who can do the job.Until then Georgia will become a program that will continue to be lambasted by other teams fans.

Alabama and Florida combined have lost only ONE, count it, ONE, SEC season game in the last two season. When will the rest of the SEC admit that the rest of the SEC is NOT so special.

I haven’t run the numbers for this season yet but I know last year the “other 10″ SEC teams were 1-6 against the ACC during the season last year.

GA Tech was 2-1 last year (including the loss to LSU – Bowl game and the win against preseason #1 UGA) and they are 2-0 this year. That is a combined 4-1 SEC record with one more to go this year. Not bad for a team with a new coach, new system, and players not recruited for the system.

Speaking of tough SEC defenses . . . These are the points scored on Vandy.
LSU-23
MSU-15
Rice-17
Ole Miss-23
Army-16
UGA-34
USCar-14
GA TECH – 56

These are the points scored on Miss State . . .
AU-49
VA-3
LSU-30
GA TECH – 42
Houston-31
M. TN State 6
FL-29
KY-24

Last year, GA Tech hung 45 on UGA.
So much for the ACC teams not facing that stout SEC defense every week.

Just my opinion that LSU is better…I think you guys are very good this year – probably one of the top 7 teams in the country – don’t get me wrong…but I don’t think you would beat LSU…Fans of teams always do the we beat so and so and they barely beat so and so – does not make sense to me…Because I could use that logic on you: we killed LSU last year, you whipped up on us – then LSU beat the hell out of you in your own town….See how silly that is?

Anyway, congrats on a very good season so far and for getting your program turned around very quickly under CPJ…Hoping that the game on Nov 28th will be competitive but I sadly think it will not be…

LSU hasn’t beaten a ranked team this year. Two of their wins are over teams we beat and we beat miss st and vandy much easier than lsu did. I agree you can’t look at one game. But you CAN look at 3. And if we beat you guys say 48-24 then that will no doubt prove my point. Last year against them was a once in 20 times you play event. We outgained them in yards. Yes stats are for losers, however, we lost that game in the first half when we turned the ball over, had horrible special teams play, dropped passes for tds and stupid penalties. My point is if we played them again next week, it would have been a compeletly different game.

SOUTHGA . . . Nice comments and I agree. Speaking as a TECH fan, if only we had last year’s defense this year . . .

UGA needs to keep CMR. He is great for UGA, the SEC, the State, and for college football. Who in the world would a UGA fan want over Mark Richt? He is a class act. His heart perhaps keeps him from pulling the trigger on some tough decisions but it is his heart that makes him so special.

The first week of December 2008 in Mark Bradley’s recap column where he sites articles that he really liked sited an article by a writer in the Dalton local news paper. The sports writer there hit perfectly described the difference between CMR & CPJ. He wrote about how uga had a “Great Motivator” and Tech had a “Great Coach.” He went on to describe exactly where uga broke down vs. Tech in that uga was motivated, but CPJ had a plan, made adjusments to his plan, the Jackets executed his plan and went on toe defeat the dawgs.

It hasn’t changed on bit. The black jerseys and pants were just a motivational tool. If they had been coupled with a game plan and a team that was diciplined and executed, uga would have at least not gotten embarrassed in Jacksonville this year.

Nothing has changed at uga since last year except they don’t have as much talent as last years team. How exactly do they plan to be better than they were last year. I suppose they were going to win on emotion. uga fans have the higest level of emotion of probably any fanbase in the country. CMR should beware that if they don’t get what they want, the emotion will likely not be what he is looking for.

He will be out coached again this year.Perhaps the dogs will show up in Atlanta with black helmets, jerseys, pants & cleats this year. Yeah! That sounds like a gameplan that CMR can really get into!

If you UGA is so worn down in the mighty sec why don’t they go independant and play notre dame every year and maybe Navy.(maybe not navy-they have same offense as tech) ACC had a 500 record against SEC last year. Tech was 2-1 last year against SEC. One of those teams was UGA which was 3rd or 4th best teams last year in SEC. Miss. State was one of the worst teams in mighty SEC last year, but we beat them probably worse than any SEC school did. SEC has two great teams this year(AL and FL) Other than that they are all beatable. LSU is pretty good and Tennessee is getting better, but I can’t say UGA has had a tougher road than Tech.

UGA plays in the SEC against Vandy, UK, UT, South Carolina, Florida and Auburn every year then rotates the other 5 in playing them in a home and home.

GT plays in the ACC against VT, UNC, Duke, Miami, Virginia and Clemsonevery year then rotates the other 5 in playing them in a home and home.

They play each other every year! GT played Miss St and and Vandy from the SEC and Jax St. While UGA played ASU and Ok State (on the back end of home and home) and Tenn Tech.

To be fair to the argument Florida coach Urban Meyer and Miss St coach Dan Mullen when they were at Utah asked CPJ for advise on running the spread option that both programs currently run. Also I read an article that UGA asked VT coach’s to come and give them some advise on defense. Currently three SEC programs coach’s that have good resume’s have asked for advise on coaching for the lowly ACC.

So if the conference is better argument is valid then the coaching argument should be also. Or is it media hype.

Here are your SEC coaches….Saban, Meyer, Kiffin, Richt, Johnson. Spurrier, Miles, Petrino, Mullen, Brooks, Chizik and Nutt.

Here are your ACC coaches….Bowden, Shannon, Swinney, Johnson, Cutcliffe, Davis, Groh, Beamer, O’Brien, Grobe, Spaziani and Friedgen.

Which group is the better bunch? I say SEC, so why is 25% of them getting advice from the ACC clan? Which conference has more top 25 or top 10 recruiting classes? So that should reason better players + better coaches = better conference….Right? So why the advice from the lesser conference?

Here is another one for you SEC fans……Florida needs help from the officials in the Miss St and Arkansas games, LSU needs help from the officials in the UGA game and dumb play calling in the Miss St game and Alabama needs a bad clock management game along with 2 blocked FG’s and a missed FG to beat UT. Alabama beat VT on the field and with time of possession(T.O.P.) and won the game. The fact of the matter is when you win the T.O.P. you usually win the game. GT wins the T.O.P. so that will constitute where GT fans are coming from with thier argument.

One last note for some of you…..GT was beat by Miami….NO EXCUSES…..but they did play 3 games in 12 days while Miami had a 10 day layoff between thier first two games. The rings were a gift from the Chik-Fil-A bowl officials that the Seniors wanted to remember the one time that they beat UGA while they were at GT. That said CPJ agreed and they had something to remember the season they had.

History lesson everyone…..GT was predicted to finish 8th or 9th in the ACC last year while UGA was preseason #1. GT beats UGA after being told that the HS offense that was a gimmick would not cut it in the Big Time world of college football Let alone the powerful SEC. And CPJ is 17-5 with it in ACC, SEC and Div I college football. So your next argument is the CPJ will leave GT for a better job…..his gimmick offense will not work so he better stay in the weak ACC then….Right? And let’s not forget he will never recruit the best athletes at GT with the Triple Option…..He is getting the players that best suit his offense and he is not limited to the requirements of the Naval Academy, the talent pool of Ga Southern or the atmosphere of Hawaii. He is in Atlanta, Ga. The capital of the south….Rappers, Entertainers, Pro Sports, Pro Athletes, Agents, Stars, Musicians and the list goes on are. The state that is the Mecca of talent for the SEC and many other conferences. The place where UT, Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina, UF, FSU and so many more come to recruit. And as you have said so many times before….these are HS players who run this type of offense and the type of players that he wants to recruit. So why would he want to leave? He wants to build something at a BCS conference school. He is a Championship coach and could have been happy at GSU but took the stepping stone job at Navy to come here.

So I really can’t wait for your response now. But whatever it is this post should clear it up. Thanks for reading. Good Night!!!!! THWG and Go Jackets!!!!!

I pull for both teams but the truth is the truth. Richt is stuck with some crap a@@ COACHES THAT HE IS LOYAL TO BUT CAN’T COACH. If he don’t make changes he will continue to lose.

GT has a problem with defense Coaching but Johnson will kick a@@. That’s the main difference in two teams.

Richt needs to kick afew butts and stop being Mr. Good Bar.

Okay, time for a reasonable voice. Right now, as it currently stands, our Dogs are no better than 4th best in the SEC east. We’ll see in a couple of weeks if we’re 5th best after the Ky game. We were told this was a rebuilding year, with 8 straight top ten recruiting classes I don’t know why this was a rebuilding year, but that is what we were told. Joe was going to be a bridge to the ‘next big thing’ at qb. Eight games in and Logan has barely played, and looked lost when he has. The offensive line has apparently regressed, along with Caleb King, and the only consistent weapon we have is AJ. Defensively? Three senior db’s who look lost constantly, two of our three linebackers have more penalties than tackles, and the line is a concoction of three tackles who will be in the NFL next year, and two ends who are consistently inconsistent. How have we gone from #2 in the land two seasons ago to looking a 6-6 season, maybe 5-7 squarely in the face. The boiled down bottom line is this: disciplined teams do not average 9 penalties a game, nor do they gather on the sideline for a group dance after scoring a touchdown that still left them trailing on the scoreboard. Dance when you win, or take the lead, but not when you’re still behind. Undisciplined teams have a hard time winning games unless their talent is clearly superior to their opposition (Fla State 1990’s) and finally, undisciplined teams who have a minus 15 or so in the turnover column have virtually no chance to beat a good team…The offense is inconsistent with no identity and the defense is so poorly coached that they have no chance, even if the players lived up to their ‘recruiting stars’, which they most assuredly have not. That said, I was a Dog fan before Richt, and I’ll be one after Richt, whenever that happens. Hope he turns it around, but if not, someone else will.

Wow, Tech fans you are having a good year, talk about that, not about UGA. However, GT fan in Milledgeville, thanks for the insight. It is not unusual for coaching staffs to get help from others. When CPJ was advising Meyer and Mullen, they were at UTAH, but it is not unusual for that to happen. I have alot of Tech friends, I hope you guys go to the BCS MNC game, and though it will be tough, you really only have one game left that you could lose.

I am not sure that CMR can get past it if UGA loses to Auburn and Ga Tech. That would mean that they had lost 6 out of 8 to the big 4 rivals. Winning only at Tenn and at Auburn last year. So you see there is alot left at stake this season.

As far as the crass statements made by all on here, it is repulsive. Schultz is an idiot on both sides of the line here, and if Tech slips he will be all over the Jackets again. Look at what he said about the Vandy win. He made it sound like Tech ran up the score inthe 4th quarter, and though I have not reviewed the box scores, I’m sure that they didn’t score a bunch in the 4th quarter.

So until later, good luck to all, and to all a good night!

To the UGA fans who are still making excuses as to why the Bulldogs are better than the Yellow Jackets, you all are coming across like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You have neither arms nor legs, yet you still talk as if UGA is a force to be reckoned with, and GT is a fluke. I assure you that neither is true. It is time to wake up to the fact that Georgia Tech has become the better college football team in the state. Don’t try to come back with pseudo-arguments about how tough the SEC is versus the ACC. Tech scored the second most points vs. MSU and the most so far against Vandy…which includes a game against UGA.
The bottom line is that Mark Richt, et al, are a spineless collection of thumb-uppers. While Paul Johnson holds his team, and coaching staff, responsible for their actions.
Keep on pinning your hopes to stupid uniform gimmicks, Dawgs. I’ll bank on Coach Johnson’s endless pursuit for perfection. Welcome to Gamecockville, UGA. You are now mediocre.
I guess I might as well end this with an homage to Ric Flair…….Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all due respect college football changes every season. Georgia is definitely having a bad season but they are one mobile quarterback and changes on the defensive coaches side from being very good. Every program has those down years, look at Alabama before Saban and Georgia Tech before Paul Johnson. Keep your day job and please give up trying to be a fortune teller. And P.S. if Georgia had found a way to win YOU would have been singing Richt’s praise for using the black pants and helmets. There was no time lost in practice trying on helmets or the pants. Tim Tebow will be remebered as one of the greatest players in SEC history.

Here we go. Weak schedule, small stadium, ACC sucks, and anything else the doggies can come up with to trash Tech and their 8-1 record. Your four wins did not come against the toughest opponents in football. Vandy, USC (not the big boys), Ark., ASU are not the cream of the SEC or PAC 10 crop. Now you did take defeats from a couple of good teams, Fla. and LSU (jury still out on this team), OK State is middle of the pack and Tenn., well enough said there. Don’t tell me that you are playing world beaters. Even if you were you are suppose to be an elite program. Weak schedule or not we are 8-1 heading for the chance to be 11-1 and play in the ACC championship game. Good solid coaching keeps these kids on level ground and looking one week at a time. I have to agree that our schedule is weaker this year than last but that is only because UGA is not ranked in the top 25 and will have a .500 or less won/loss record when the come to the flats.

It is better to recruit kids that are intelligent but may be a step slow than to recruit kids that jump up and pound their chest after a 10 yard run when they are down by 21.

It is nice to see the contrast in programs – Tech scores a touchdown and tosses the ball to the ref and may high five or do the jump in the air back hit and then run to the sideline. Then you see UGA score a touchdown and they all run to the sideline and start to jump up and down with the whole team tickling each other into a frenzy only to watch UF run the ball down their throats the next possession.

It’s very funny to read all these GT fans comments. I would say that we as GT fans need to stay humble. We could very possibly lose every game we have left. Personally, I don’t buy into the hype that we are a top 10 team by any stretch of the imagination. We have a very good offense, but our defense is VERY suspect. People, Vandy took us to the woodshed with one of the worst offense’s in the country! I don’t care what we did in the second half, we have to learn to play 60 minutes of defense, until then we don’t merit any top 10 ranking! Just remember for all you people that are trash talking UGA, what goes around generally comes around….IMHO.

An observation from an old man – Paul Johnson is a throw back Head Football Coach. He demands a lot out of his players; but does it in such a way that they respect him and they want to perform because they believe in what he is saying because he’s a winner. Coach Johnson is also a true football strategist; something you rarely see any more in a head football coach. Paul doesn’t delegate some of the most important decisions to his assistant coaches during game day – he listens to what they say is going on, what they think should be called, and then decides for himself what he wants to run.

Coach Johnson believes in accountability. He accepts accountability for himself, and for the team when things don’t go as planned. He also makes changes with the team to try to improve things that don’t work, even during the game if necessary; and it seems to work. Look at his game time adjustments made at UGA last season, FSU, Virginia Tech, and Vanderbilt this season as examples.

Paul Johnson is never satisfied. Even though the Yellow Jackets are sitting here at 8 wins and 1 loss, he recognizes that there are ongoing problems with his defense and special teams, and is constantly working on them to make them better. He hasn’t made excuses for the numerous injuries to players who started the season on both of these squads – he has told Dave Wommack to simplify things and make the defense do better, and started changing personnel on special teams so that he’ll have faster, better tacklers on the field to help get down field and prevent the long returns. He’s also working with the kickers on their placement of the kicks. In other words, nothing is sacred.

Paul was also not happy with the penalties and turnovers by the team, so he made it a point to work on those ares with the team, knowing full well that these little things can be the difference between a win and a loss. Coach Johnson has also made it a point to rotate in several different linemen on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, keeping the guys fresh, and ready to play, just in case.

I also see Paul Johnson teaching his players – getting them to play together as a team; not as individuals, know that this is the only way his offense will work. Defensively, the same can be said. With the loss of a majority of his stellar defensive line last season to the NFL, and several starters this season to injuries, necessity required teamwork for them to slow other teams’ offenses down.

On the other hand, what I see with Mark Richt is a great man, but also a man who likes to delegate. He relies on his assistant coaches to make most of the game-time decisions for him. Unfortunately, the assistant coaches that Coach Richt currently uses aren’t experienced Coaches to start with, unlike the coaches that he started his great seasons, and it’s making a difference in his win/loss record.

Mark Richt’s loyalty to his staff and team is commendable, and his recruiting skills are amazing, however, until he gets quality assistant coaches back under him, the chances for long-term success for the Georgia Bulldogs, even with the top-notch recruits coming on campus, seems unlikely. It’s a real shame because having two quality programs in the State of Georgia is something we need. It keeps our best student athletes in State, it brings a lot of great attention to our State as the Teams are mentioned in the National media as they play other high profile programs, and the rivalry between the programs will be exciting once again.

Jeff is just trying to rile the Dawg fans in the run up to the Tech-Georgia game. Georgia is having an off year and does play in the best conference in the country, but wah, wah that’s no excuse for continued poor performances, i.e. LOSSES. Jeff does tell the truth about the coaching, and Richt needs to make changes, or Georgia won’t be competitive in the SEC. Georgia Tech is steadily improving under Johnson, and Tech’s success really gets Georgia cranky, which is good. If Dawgs are unhappy, then maybe they will get to work and win some games! Maybe Georgia needs the Dog Whisperer to come work with them and get some discipline… I have kids at both schools, support both teams, and this year I like Tech’s successes a lot, and Georgia’s stumbling not so much. That said, y’all know that anything can happen in a college football game, so this year’s rivalry game should be a lot of fun.

This article is a total waste of time! So UGA has has a down year BIG DEAL, come on, EVERY year we have the chance of losing a few games to S.C, TN, Fl, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss and throw in a non conference team like OK St. who constantly upsets OK or a PAC 10 team like AZ St. that has potential! We usually win those games except TN and FL which have been lopsided over the years but the chances of losing at least one or two more game by this time are ALWAYS there! Tech just beat Vanderbilt and BARELY!!! That game could have gone the other way but yes Tech turned it on in the latter part of the game and the option game took over.Does not matter!!! UGA has talent and they have a TON of it. This year was a year in between STUD quarterbacks. I don’t feel like Joe Cox is the biggest problem either. I feel like Mike Bobo is a QB coach that got thrown into the mix and succeeded one game. Richt likes him so much that he made a snap decision a season or so ago and now has to fix the problem! HEY BOBO you have the best wide receiver in the country and maybe to ever walk on the the turf at Sanford stadium….. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING IT ON 3rd and 15 with your back against the wall!!! Ok, I think Paul Johnson is a great coach and I have followed him for years…. I am impressed with what he has done at Ga. Tech but never will they be what UGA has been over the years! Tech plays an ACC schedule that does not impress me and although they have won and won impressively I don’t think they would have only one loss if they played UGA’s schedule!!! Look at the SEC and tell me it is not impressive for Fl. and Alabama to be undefeated year in and year out at this time!!! If Tech is undefeated right now I am still not impressed though!

There are lots of families here with members who attended both schools and they actually get together to watch the game. Texas is dominating right now, but A&M has upset Texas several times recently without the better team. Georgia can beat Tech, even if they are not the better team this year. And the fans should enjoy the rivalry as gentlemen and ladies, instead of the poison I see on this discussion. After all, sportsmanship and honor should still mean something.

I kinda liked the UGA uniforms. I think they would have looked even better with their red jersey’s (I am assuming they were the away team). That being said, I didn’t know that Bebe had more receiving yards than A.J. Green. I still think Green is going to have a better pro career, but Thomas is dominant. There are times that they just swing the ball to Thomas on the outside and he just makes the cornerback look like a high schooler.

Richt uses the uniforms and other gadgets because he knows he has the talent to win these games but can’t either due to bad coaching or inability to control the players.

GT4Eever, Regarding your 8:39 post.. You are 100% correct. Anybody that thinks we will waltz through the next month into the Orange Bowl is seriously delusional. With our D and Special teams, we are capable of losing any game left on our schedule, including the game against the dawgs. Every team we play is fighting to get into a bowl..They will all be up and ready for us, and the dawgs will be out for revenge and likely trying to save CMR’s backside.

We better work on fixing our problems and stay humble. I have a lot of confidence in CPJ, but we’re dealing with kids here. They read the hype, and some of them believe it. I’m very much afraid of a letdown.

Jeff, your missing a couple of important facts here…1) Cox was not supposed to be playing really. If Stafford and Moreno hadn’t jumped to the NFL, then Cox, King, and Samuel would still be backups. 2) While Tech has been in shootouts with mediocre teams, UGA has had to play an absolutely brutal schedule with only one breather so far (a Vanderbilt team that UGA looked much more impressive against).

Both teams have terrible defenses. Its easy to talk about Tech’s offense when they are playing teams like Vandy, Miss St, and Jacksonville St. out of conference with conference games against woeful UNC and Virginia. They have not had to face defenses like LSU, Florida, or even Tennessee. Add to that Arkansas, South Carolina, Oklahoma St, and Arizona St? You just cant compare the two based on records alone when there is that kind of schedule disparity

I am love how, the UGA fans are living in the past, do you not remember when we had the best receiver in the nation and still couldn’t put up good numbers for him? Yeah, I do. Our team has not been the greatest in the past, but with PJ at control, our team is turning around. Having picked up a team with a roster not suited towards his triple option, he still managed to have a winning season last year, and we still managed to beat you. So yeah, we’re excited, only because we are building a program that can actually win. So as the years pass, we can continue to have these conversations as to how UGA WAS such a powerhouse, and can continue to live in the past since that is apparently all that you can do that this point. But heck, I remember when FSU was a force to be reckoned with, so does this mean that they should still be top dog?

Also, looking at a side note: you say we play weak SEC teams, this is also referring to what UGAissolastyear said, but . . . we played Miss State and won 42-31, while FL played them and won 29-19, so seeing as how FL beat you 41-17 (btw, I am in no way comparing GT to FL, but the numbers don’t lie), Nov. 28th should be a rather exciting game . . .

I hate to say it GA fans but you are not even 4th in the SEC right now. Take it for someone who watched his team decline over a decade from a NC to a 5-7 season with a loss to Wyoming, you are heading that direction if Richt does not make some hard decisions.
Loyality can get you into trouble in the coaching game.
I can’t remember a year when I have seen GA this flat. I know I don’t have a dog in this fight (no pun intended) but when you have see it happen 1st hand you know the signs.

oh by the way, it is not our fault UGA is now considered a weak team. From pre ranked number 1 in the nation to a weak team in 2 seasons. And last season, you had two 1st round draft choices play QB and RB, and our QB and RB, Nesbitt and Jones compiled better yardage.

Lets see, UGA went down to FSU to pick up a coach. They didn’t get Bobby
Bowden who will finish his career with either the most or second most
wins in college history. They didn’t get the great Mickey Andrews who
coaches the most important part of the game, defense. They settled for Richt ? Humm……

Just ONE question to all of those redneck dawg fans. Who has MORE national championships? And who has had one MORE recent?? GA TECH for those who have forgotten just a little reminder.

please cut and past these comments because as God is my witness, this will come true….

UGA could have hired CPJ when he was winning two titles at Ga Southern, but their arrogance thinks they are better than triple option type of offense…these snakes will at some point find an imitator of some sort and run this offense themselves down the road..mark my word

thank you for your observation, it is true..GT gets treated like we are the bastard step child of this state and have been througout my lifetime. We understand the rednecks bad mouthing us but it is a shame that the local media does and we are literally 3 miles away from where they work.

What I admire GT for the most is that the majority of us took a stand and let the athletic dept. know we were not satisfied with our previous coach Chan Gaily and finishing 7-5 most years and going to the Ice Bowl in Boise. Most UGA fans at that time laughed saying we were just a small engineering school and how dare our fans and alumni wanting more out of football. CPJ was the perfect fit for us and GT is the perfect fit for him. Unforunately, these loud mouths will try at some point to hire a coach to imitate what CPJ is doing even though they mock his style now.
One other comment…when I was at Tech, I was a majorette (yes I am a female) and one time after the GT-UGA game in Athens in which Tech won, my friends and I were at a restaurant in Athens after the game, and these rednecks came up to us and accused us of not even going to school at Tech. I have my own business now and my girlfirend went on to become a doctor. But that is what we have had to deal with all our lives.

GT’s schedule is Top 15, actually. Mutt fans are merely grasping at straws. They know their team is garbage so they try like hell to tear down GT – a real team. It’s pathetic. Truly dreary days in Athens.

Delbert , here’s one more question to add to your list – Since UF beat Ga in Fl by a score of 41-17, if Tech were to beat Ga by the same score or better, would the dawg nation concede that Tech is better or equal to Tebow’s team???

i dont think so GTRich, for some reason, the media hates GT, so any opportunity to talk positively about GT, they will simply blame it on some ‘lucky’ big plays, or how our offense ‘managed’ to break down their defense. only saying this, because it’s a similar situation with the Miss State game, we won by about the same margin as FL, and no one is comparing anybody. I’m not saying that we’re comparable to UF, but each game has different factors and elements which feed into the outcome, and regardless of how we do, we’ll still get not credit . . .

Those margin of victory things can be tricky. You can end up with some weird stuff like Ga. Tech is 76 points better than Ga. Tech. I havent’ done it this year, but I’ve done it before just for fun.

Yo ThanksJeff why don’t you stop fuming at tech and start fuming at Richt for his inability to make coaching changes. You sound like a 5 year old playing the blame game. You are right that the SEC does have much more competition but don’t call out Tech for playing VaTech or Miami when UGA can’t even beat much less lose respectably to Kiffin’s Kreme-pop-kids up in Tennessee (oh yeah he’s a first year coach). My family (all dawgs) realize you need to make changes when the likely hood of you losing all 3 of your rivalry games in the same year. Have fun in Atlanta as we run all over Willie Martinez’s lame duck D!

UGA fans,

I can’t wait to be completely RESPECTFUL to you after your unsuccessful attempt this November to spoil our season. I hope you enjoy your time on my campus and can find the CLASS that we from Tech offered you last year on your campus after your loss.

Don’t bring your trash to my campus, I don’t take lightly to being disrespected at my home, I respected yours last year. This isn’t Jacksonville, we aren’t a bunch of fools, bring some class or don’t come at all.

This is ridiculous. Quit this SEC is the best babble. Your team is just not that good this year, it happens every now and then. There are really only two good teams in the SEC right now, I think LSU is over rated, of all their wins, auburn is the only team they have beaten with a winning record. And don’t give me that schedule padding crap either, all teams do it. You guys play Tennessee tech next week, that’s a gimmie just like our playing Jacksonville state. I will definitely say that that the SEC is stronger than the ACC is this year, but there is less deviation in the quality of the teams. Thats why you have like 2 front runners and 2 ok teams, and the rest is crap, and we have maybe 1 frontrunner, a few ok teams, and a few crap teams. But bottomline, we are on the rise, and you guys are falling. And frankly, if I was a Georgia fan, I would put Richt on a hot seat, Georgia always is ranked in the top 10 in recruiting, and there really isn’t any reason why there should be an “off” year if you get that kind of talent consistently. Programs are cyclic, and you just need to be prepared for the chance that you guys have a bad 5 years. Oh, and to hell with Georgia!

hahaha steelegt, i think that you misread my post if you think that I am a UGA fan. I was simply venting my frustration with the fact that no matter how well GT does, we never get any credit from anyone. They always pin our big victories on big plays and clock control (quite frankly is what wins games). So I was not babbling on the SEC, I was simply making that comparison to how we pin up to other teams in the SEC to show that we are a team in contention and that we should not look like the bastard stepchild of GA.

I also find if funny now the UGA kiosk at Lenox has more and more GT paraphernalia every week, just goes to show that some people may actually start to give us credit and not think that we’re going to get rolled by UGA year after year.

Hey “thanks jeff” – “tech would be lucky to be 4-4 against georgia’s schedule we know of 3 losses tech would have florida , lsu and tennessee, probably ok. state, arkansas and south carolina”

If Tech played Georgia’s schedule it would result in the following (according to Sagarin’s predictor):
@ Ok St – 4 pt W
USCe – 14 pt W
@ Ark – 3 pt W
Ariz St – 16 pt W
LSU – 6 pt W
@ Tenn – 1 pt W
@ Vandy – 25 pt W (as seen this week)
Florida – 7 pt L
Tenn Tech – 45 pt W
Auburn – 12 pt W
Kentucky – 14 pt W
Georgia – 14 pt W (as you will see in a few weeks)

So Tech would be 7-1 and would finish 11-1 in the regular season if playing Georgia’s schedule.

UGA had a decent year last year but lost to us 45-42 because our offense is improving and UGA is not familiar against the Triple Option. UGA is suffering greatly this year and will lose to us 56-35 because our offense is still improving and UGA lost their best offensive players. Tech’s defense does struggle, they seem to be picking up the pieces and I think the defense that showed up against VT will be on the field at the end of the month.

Let’s not let history be our support for how good teams are. Everyone knows that football teams change vastly each yeah and history only dictates the preseason rankings and how many loses you can have and still be ranked top ten (see also Ohio State and USC). Please do not quote scores over the past few years to prove your point about what is to come in 3 weeks.

What happened at the Georgia/Florida game was just awful. Spikes could not hide his inexcusable actions from HD cameras. It really reflects poorly on the whole Florida team in my opinion. Maybe Tebow will drag Spikes to his Bible Studies and make him go to confession or whatever religious fanatics do. But that is a different story.

Lastly I would guess that roughly 30% of the UGA fans on this thread actually went to college, much less went to UGA.

“As for beating any SEC team by three TD’s…..you are insane, man.”

Yeah? Last week 56-31…by three touchdowns plus a field goal.

Tech’s been there, done that, and has the t-shirt.

ATTN U[sic]GA Fans: GT was a charter member of the SEC back in 1933. When Dodd left because of the 140 Rule (http://is.gd/4LDW7), GT had more SEC titles (5-3) than U[sic]GA (http://is.gd/4LDWy). Even before the SEC, when it was called the Southern Conference, GT still had more titles (3-0). Shall we go back further? Before that it was called the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Tech STILL HAD MORE TITLES than U[sic]GA (5-2). Moral of the story, while GT and U[sic]GA are in the same conference, GT > U[sic]GA with more titles 13-5. Your argument for GT joining the SEC is invalid. Dodd wanted to get back into the SEC, but U[sic]GA and Auburn led the rebellion in voting no. If you’d like us to rejoin, talk to your own school, not ours.

Jeff, I think you “pi**ed off “thanksjeff”. I think UGA does lead the nation in personal foul call.

If you don’t demand more of the leadership from the top, you will continue to get less. How can keep recruiting top 5 classes and underachieving unless it’s coaching.

ps: we will find out Thanksgiving!

“We were so good for eight years, and Tech’s been good for two! Come talk to me when you’re as good as we are!”

We have more National Championships than U[sic]GA, and more conference championships from when we played in the same conference. Come talk to me when you win four national titles. Yes, we were very good a long time ago, then we weren’t good, and now we are again. UGA used to be very bad, then became good, and is now bad again. I think that is the point of the article, but despite being a liberal arts school[sic], no one from Athens can read.

Mark my words. Tech will win another National Championship before Georgia does, and everyone here knows it.
