15 additional practices to install new DC or OC or both schemes. 15 extra practices for one of the two Frosh QB’s to get reps. 15 extra practices for our young secondary to learn to play man coverage. We’d be foolish to pass on a bowl.

The extra practice time to get ready for a bowl would be invaluable, so, yes, they should go to whatever bowl will take them. Plus, you sportswriters like to cite meanimgless stats like “FSU has been to a bowl game for 27 consecutive years”. If UGA doesn’t go, it will break their “streak”. Then all the Tech fans could claim their streak is longer. Can’t have that, can we?

This year more than ever the Dawgs need a bowl, any bowl. They need the extra practice time that a bowl offers to get ready for next year. So it’s a time to swallow the pride and go where they can.

Are any of you really thinking that the new qb’s are the answer? Remember these coaches are the ones that did the recruiting. Look at our so called talent. They have lost 8 games in the last two years, most in blow out fashion. Our coaches can’t coach the talent we have up, down or sideways.

I wish we would just stay home. this team is freaking terrible. And on top of that if we go we will probably end up 6-7. I would rather us stay home and watch some good teams play. I am so stinking tired of hearing about how Joe cox gives us the best chance to win. he looks at one receiver every play. We should have put Murray in after the Tennessee game. I hate to say it but im ready for major changes in the coaching staff. Starting at the top. This team is undisciplined and just straight up stupid. I have been a ga fan my whole life and this has been one of the most frustrating seasons ever. However this has been in the making since 2006. It wasn’t Richt that won us all those games early in his career. It was Pollack, Greene, Shockley and the rest of those players. I think Richt is a great man but its time for change. We need someone who shakes things up like Meyer and Saban.

Jeff – I agree with the concept of using the bowl game as an extra practice period, but should the seniors be rewarded for a 6 and 6 season? If we do play, they should look to play a lot of the younger players to prepare for next year. How many times do we look at some of the weaker teams playing in second hand bowl and think that there are just too many bowls? That is us this year. Also, maybe we should dedicate the bowl game as a farewell game for Willie and Mike. Let them decide where they want their farewell party to be held. Once again, we have allowed opposing teams to score an average of over 30 pts per game for the last few years. We will never win at that rate. Enough Said.

Bowl games are for winners. If Mark Richt has any pride, he’ll decline a crappy bowl invitation and use the time to right the ship. We’re talking about a man who has lost control of his team and has no idea how to fix it.

I love this quote:

“I think all programs go through some cycles, and we’ve been on a pretty good upswing for quite some time,” Richt said. “This year has certainly been a downturn when it comes to record. It is what it is. Will we get it back on track and get back to the winning ways we’re used to? I think so. I don’t think there’s any doubt about it.”

CMR, time and again over the years your teams have had huge mental lapses where they fold in big games inexplicably. Upswing? Your “upswing” came to a crashing halt when you peed your pants against Bama last year on national TV. Since that time, you’ve promised again and again that things would be fixed. The only thing you “fixed” was to give Willie and your other inept coaches raises. Now you “think” you can turn things around. I don’t have a great deal of confidence in that weak statement. You obviously “thought” you’d beat Kentucky just by showing up. How did that work out? We need a head coach who actually “knows” what to do. Richt ought to quit football and go into politics with that king of hedging. This man has taken UGA as far as it’s going to go. We need new blood…

The SEC has all those bowl tie-ins for a reason. And, yes, historically it is the most competitive conference in the country although I don’t believe that can be said for this season. Why not give the guys an opportunity to go to a bowl game, even if it is a Shreveport? I’ve been to Shreveport, and while I agree there are better venues, a game is a game.

I would like to add that Saint Simons is an embarrassment. And I say that as both a Tech fan and someone who loves Saint Simons Island. If I were a Georgia fan, I would give the program one more year and then start the talk about Richt’s failures as an administrator. There’s no doubt he’s a good guy or that he knows the game but as we all know too well, sometimes that’s just not enough to justify that fat salary.

Richt does not deserve any bowl, nor should he go to one and embarrass himself further—or the University, I might add. He should not be rewarded for an unspeakably dismal coaching effort. At least Bobby Knight, despite what some may think about him, had the pride to refuse his salary one year while at Texas Tech because he did not think his coaching effort that year merited his salary. Can anyone imagine Richt having the same amount of pride and self-respect to do this? Maybe if Richt had a little of the fiber Knight has, the program would not have degenerated to such a disgusting state.

Georgia is a very YOUNG talented team that barring a few bad calls from officials (OSU,LSU) would be in a very different position today if not for some fatal turnovers. These type bad luck seasons don’t last long but do happen from time to time. The DAWGS are still terrific and Joe Cox threw some of the prettiest deep passes I have seen in a while at Georgia. Stafford had a few in 2007 that were similar but the receivers were more wide open on his. Joe, I know you don’t read this crap but thank you for staying around and playing a year of football that I know you are most likely disappointed in. However, know this, there is no one else at UGA right now that could have done it better. Now go out and beat tech and no one will even care about the rest of the season. Go Dawgs!

If you honestly think that Richt can turn it around by hiring one or two “new” coordinators and let him off the hook, then you are going to get what you asked for.

Richt was hired as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs before the 2001 season, replacing Jim Donnan. Richt recounted the moments leading up to being named UGA’s head coach in an interview, saying:

In December 2000, [the University of Georgia's] President Michael Adams and then Athletic Director Coach Vince Dooley came to Tallahassee and interviewed me for the position of Head Coach of the UGA Bulldogs. After many hours of prayer, Coach Dooley called me and I accepted the position. We moved to Athens in January 2001 and have truly been blessed. We have a great church, an outstanding school for the children and a wonderful staff.

You simply can’t look past what Richt did for our program this decade. He deserves the chance to fix this. So, all those saying he needs to be fired now, go follow another team please. You’re doing nothing to help the situation. Now, he needs to be able to see the truth of what is wrong with his program. I don’t know what it is. It appears a lack of discipline on the field is the first problem. Please Coach Richt fix it or these nutjobs will run you out of town. You’re our coach and I personally stand behind you and our team. But for goodness sakes get it together and teach these young men how to behave on the field.

No bowl. I understand there’s a month of practice time that would be great for the younger players, but I can’t stomach the thought of them being coached-up by the imbeciles on Richt’s staff. We haven’t improved over the course of the season. What difference is a few weeks going to make?

We should go to a bowl just because of the extra practices allowed. However, losing the bowl means we finish the season with a losing record (6-7), assuming we lose to Tech before that. Not a big stretch, either. Having a 6-7 record with perennial “Top 10″ recruiting classes is inexcusable. Richt’s a wonderful person. But he’s not an SEC-level motivatiang football coach, I’m sorry to say. What a season we’ve had, and I don’t see things getting any better under him.

6-6 is enough for me to see. NOT going to a bowl is the honorable thing to do, conference pool $ be damned. Like the SEC needs another dime in their pockets, especially if it’s to pay inept officials. It also sends a message to the NCAA that there are entirely too many bowl games. Seriously- how many UGA fans are gonna buy tickets to a game in Shreveport? You’d have an easier time selling tickets to any Tech game.

Anything but playing Florida State. That was a neat thought about 10 years ago. Iowa State or Connecticut would at least be something we haven’t overdone in the past 15 years. The payout is the same since the conference splits it, so just give UGA an interesting opponent.

I think some fans need to chill. I’m all for Martinez being shown the door since he’s the DC and the defense has stunk the past TWO years. But Richt? Give me a break. Are we really going to turn into some school where if you don’t win 10 games, you fire the coach? Georgia was unlucky to not be in the national title game in 2002 and was really close in 2007 (had Tenn. lost to Kentucky, who knows what the SEC title game holds). Don’t forget that in this time span, Auburn went 13-0 and didn’t get to play for a national title.

Yes, losing to Florida stinks. Getting killed by Tenn. stinks. But Richt is the best man for the job. If he starts going 6-6 three years in a row, then come talk to me. Don’t forget this team was about 30 seconds from topping LSU and has third third-toughest schedule in the nation. Would the team have been any better playing FIU instead of Oklahoma State?

It use to be that a bowl game was a reward for a well played season and winning. Now it has become an exercise in corporate advertising and payoffs to schools so they can pay for the expenses of the atheletic program. Teams with records that in the past would have no reason to celebrate are being rewarded for mediocracy and being average.

Has UGA played up to its potential all year? Have they demonstrated that they deserve to be rewarded for a consistently hard and winning effort game in and game out? Does the product deserve to be put on display in a showcase because it is exceptional in its success? I don’t think so.

Any more that I thought that Tech should have gone to some of the bowls they went to in past years. It was ridiculous and their play in some of those “Who Gives A Rip” bowls confirmed they had no business playing after the regular season.

Sometimes a bowl game, particularly one of the lesser bowls, is a slap in the face rather than a reward. When you haven’t played up to your potential, have been beaten by teams that you should have won easily over, and the mistake columns Like penalties and turnovers are well supplied with stats indicating no discipline or poor coaching, why go and showcase your lack of success?

Sure the money is nice to have and the benefits of sightseeing is a novelty for the players, but crap, sometimes it is best to just end the season and get a new piece of paper out and start working on next year.

If the Pups go to a bowl, I hope they play well enough to represent the state of Georgia in a good way rather than have another venture into embarrassment.

Have any of you whiners paid any attention to anything in college football other than the ‘Dogs?

How’s Michigan doing this year? Or Oklahoma? Or Florida State? Or Notre Dame? Or Tennessee? Or Southern Cal lately?

When was the last time Georgia had a season like this? Not since Richt has been the head coach.

When was the last time a team lost the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft (a QB at that), one of the 2 or 3 best RBs in the country and a WR who is starting in the pros as a rookie and did not suffer the next season.

The ‘Dogs are mediocre this year. So are a lot of other teams that traditionally rank in the top 10. It happens. Get over it.

Any of you nattering nabobs think this happens to everybody else but not the dear old ‘Dogs. Get a clue. And a life.

The team simply ain’t that good this year. Doesn’t mean the ‘Dogs are not going to be good again next year. Every program has a season like this every once in a while. It’s Georgia’s first under Richt, so you might want to cut him some slack.

The Kentucky game was the first one this season the ‘Dogs should have won but did not. If they had won that game, they’d be 7-4, which is about right considering what they lost and what they returned from last year.

If something like this happens again next season, then you can start in with some legitimate griping. Until that point, give it a rest. Georgia is not known for having the most discerning fans in college football, and blogs like this only accentuate that fact.

As for the much maligned QB — Cox was outstanding for most of the game Saturday night. He threw some beautiful deep balls and took the team down the field for what should have been the tying touchdown late in the game.

But he threw one really bad pass (unfortunstely he does that every game) and was the victim of a really dumb play call by Bobo (the repeat pass to C. King) and a poor decision on his own part to throw it.

It’s not like he’s surrounded by the most talent a Georgia QB has had to work with in recent years. He’s not Stafford. Or Greene. Or even Shockley. But he’s not nearly as bad as most of the team’s genius “fans” think.

He’s just not good enough to lift an otherwise mediocre group on offense to play above its talent level.

Just be glad you’re not a Michigan or a Notre Dame fan.

All of you Techies assuming a WIN on Saturday are going to look silly if the Dawgs throw the ball up and down the field on you….

Even Vegas is not too sure…Tech is #7 and 10-1 and UGA is 6-5 BUT Vegas only has Tech as a 6.5 favorite at home

Looks like I have to explain how the line works again. The folks in Vegas don’t play favorites, don’t give a flip about who is the better team, etc.
The betting line is set to try to get 50% of the bets on both sides of the line. That way the bookies are guaranteed a profit.
If more money gets bet on one side than the other, the line moves.

Yes they should take whatever Bowl will have them. As has been said it is for the extra practice time for the younger players. Do they deserve it? No, but then 7-5 teams don’t deserve a bowl either. They ought to drop about 10-12 bowl games so being a Bowl team would mean something again.

Joe SUX earned his senior day start with five years of loyalty, but he almost single-handedly lost the game with three TOs in the last ten minutes. The future should start now, with playing the freshman the next two games, but that won’t happen. Two consecutive years of underperformance, and the penalties are a coaching/discipline problem, pure and simple. Recruiting, Richt’s one really strong area, will begin to fall off too and 6-6 will be the new norm. UGA, sadly, is the new Kentucky except we obviously can’t play basketball either!

Georgia will always get recruits, so stop worrying about that program as far as that goes. UGA has the pick of the litter because most of those kids still cannot get into Tech nor want to go there is the first place. I really see Georgia beating Tech Saturday. They have two super stars back and they are so humble now they might play a little football without running their mouths. I think meanwhile if they don’t beat us this year they will beat us again with Richt, too good not to. When Gailey was at Tech that was not a fact to be said about Tech and Georgia Tech was not that good back then. Tech’s playing better will make Georgia play better because they grew up with these guys just like Auburn guys and have some pride. It is when they can play a mediocre Kentucky and beat them steady that is when they are going to be something and they will eventually get that back too. That may take a new coordinator that respects what he sees not what he hears. Believe me if Georgia beats Tech Saturday it won’t be because Tech counted their chickens too early it will be because Georgia is just better which they have all the talent to be.

What’s wrong with the Dawgs?? Yep, it’s the coaching & that coaching has been influenced by the Grand Pubah Michael Adams. He could give a rat’s a$$ less if the football program sucks. That’s why he got rid of Vince so he could use Damon as his yes man. We also need to go to a “creampuff” schedule like the Gators & we could go undefeated also……..

At this point, I am hoping for the Liberty Bowl because at least Memphis would be a fun destination with Beale Street and a top-notch music scene. Eating some amazing BBQ and listening to some Blues would at least be a fun way to lament our season of blues. Plus, I’ve heard they have a great New Years celebration and the best casino gaming outside Las Vegas is nearby.

5 pages of posts. I hope all you posters, like me, are financial supporters. Well, effective today, my checks stop, until changes are made in the coaching staff, from the top down. Anyone who supports CMR is and belongs in the tank with him and Willie and the boys.

Not only am I not going to watch the beat down in Atlanta, I won’t turn on the TV for a bowl game we play in.

Call me a fair weather fan if you like, but I know imcompetence when I see it.

UGA’s fixing to fall?
But speaking just for me
and some people from AJC,
we got a thing or two to tell you all.
This Dawg may have stumbled
but he ain’t never fell.
And if the Techies don’t believe that
they can all go straight to hell.
We’re gonna put UGA’s feet
on the path of a Winning streak
and then God bless UGA nation again.

And you never did think that it ever would happen again.
In Georgia, did you?
You never did think that we’d ever get together again.
Well we damn sure fooled you.
We’re walking real proud and we’re talking real loud again
In UGA Nation.
You never did think that it ever would happen again.
NOW WE MAY HAVE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF FIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES,
BUT YOU OUTSIDE PEOPLE BEST LEAVE US ALONE.
Cause we’ll all stick together
and you can take that to the bank.
That’s the Gators and the Jackets and the rebels and the yanks.
You just go and lay your hand on a Georgia BULLDAWG fan
and I think you’re gonna finally understand.

And you never did think that it ever would happen again.
In Georgia, did you?
You never did think that we’d ever get together again.
Well we damn sure fooled you.
We’re walking real proud and we’re talking real loud again
In UGA Nation.
You never did think that it ever would happen again.

Thank you Charlie

Yes on any bowl. The extra practice will be great for 2010. They really have no choice as the SEC has bowl tie in agreements for so many teams so unless there was a situation like SC and Clemson a few years ago when there was a season ending brawl I believe the school has to accept if offered.

Okay, all kidding aside, it IS humbling to go through a season like this – Tenn. fans have had to ride out the low of losing to WYOMING and VANDY during the end of “Full Filmer” and this year’s roller coaster ride with “Lame Kitten” (I confess I likethat one.)

Strangely the Vols still haven’t lost to Kentucky, although this might be their year. I really kept thinking “Ok , Georgia is about to… ” just as Cox threw that INT. I was pretty sure y’all dawgs were gonna win (and same with LSU – what was THAT all about??) but seems we’re all around the same point. UT is still headed upwards, but another building year next year.

If CMR doesn’t dump some coaches, I think y’all are gonna have to “FULMERMIZE” him

Every team has it’s ups and downs. I love the dogs and Riche is an outstanding coach. However, if he cannot control the hoodlums, he will have a short stay. The winning teams don’t let their thugs get out of control. Bench the offenders as soon as they act up. Watched Alabama play Saturday, Saben is tough as nails on his players.

They should turn down any bowl bid. This is not a good team and this “extra practice” crap is just that — crap. We aren’t going to get to see key players get any “practice” time anyway. And what difference would it make if we did — can Martinez or Boobo coach them to play in a bowl? Don’t make me laugh with a “yes” answer.

I wonder how many dawg fans will truly spend money to travel and watch this team get steam rolled by their opponent? You will have to be a die hard to waste your money for that trip to wherever it is. But go on, put out your money to show support for this coaching staff. They are banking on you doing it. So go — then I’ll watch you leave at the end of the 3Q when the score is impossibly behind for the dawgs.

CMR IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I think instead of getting rid of coaches this year it is time to have a purge the band wagon, ungrateful, DA fans form the program. We have had one bad year under CMR (we were 10-3 last year). We lost the #1 and #15 pick and Asher Allen left early.

Get a grip or move on and find another team to root against, I mean for. You all are probably the same people that wanted change so bad that you went out and voted for a Obama. I do not need anymore of your hind sight changes.

Top 10 UGA Excuses for UK Loss:

10. In honor of UGA VI, pulled muscles in legs jumping off the bed.
9. Distracted by HCMR’s constant, miraculous replenishing of Gatorade and energy bars.
8. When they heard KY was in Sanford Stadium, instinctively bent over.
7. Thought it was basketball season.
6. Saddened by thought UGA VII may have actually died of shame.
5. Unfortunate reaction to having KY all over their Cox.
4. Believed CWM when he said he was a defensive coordinator.
3. Took instruction that it is better to give than receive too literally.
2. That Seiler family is just creepy.
1. Unrequited love for that unforgettable Shreveport refinery smell.

Old Dawg has it right. We are going to a bowl ONLY because it allows a team to get three extra weeks of practice. The NCAA should allow any team to practice those weeks. But…we are ENTITLED to go to a bowl. That’s what is wrong with this country, ENTITLEMENTS, but for another day.

If we were going to New Orleans, Orlando, Tampa, etc. it would be a reward for the players. Some idiot on another blog thinks missing Christmas with their families, being stuck in a hotel room in Shreveport, and playing on Dec. 28 is a reward for the players. I have made that trip with the team years ago; believe me it was not a reward and all they wanted to do was play the game, get the hell out of Shreveport, go home, and celebrate a late Christmas.

Lot of bad BS on these blogs by both UGA and GT fans, but some classy posts by some GT fans, especially GT53 on another blog.

I think the real reason there is so much anger on the part of UGA fans is because most realistic fans knew that CWM should have been gone after last year. We have had to put up with it at least a year longer than any reasonable person should have to. Also, the penalties are just as defeating as last year. Last year it was the injuries(everyone had them), and this year its all the young players (why do we have to play young inexperienced players if they are not ready? If they are ready as they are at other institutions, then we have no excuse).

The kickoffs were a hot topic last year and seem to get worse with every game this year. Just look at the results against KY. We never touch their man until he gets to the 30 yard line, yet we are hit at the 10-12 yard line. Folks, that’s not that complicated. It takes fire and passion to do the job. BTW, think that’s whats missing.

Offensive play calling? 2nd down and 1 yard for a first down at the 2 yard line! We have just gained 9 yards running. What would you call from the 2 yard line with 3 chances for a first down? Yeah, a bootleg tricky play for a pass! Kidding me? Just like with the game on the line late in the game. What happened to a full backfield and a dive to the fullback. If we don’t have a 250 lb runner that can score, put the defensive tackle in to block and get it in. Laugh at Saban if you will, but it works!

We have too much talent to be rebuilding, we should be reloading. Don’t give me this crap about Stafford and Moreno leaving early. They did not play defense last year either. Players are talented, give good effort, but don’t have enough coaching. We have skill people to compare with anyone in the country, but maybe we need a few more of those wide bodies with huge hearts.

I went to watch UGA play Arkansas at the Independence Bowl several years ago. No it’s not the Sugar Bowl but the people of Shreveport were very hospitable and treated the team and the fans very well. Ever since then I have been irritated every time I hear the UGA fans and the Atlanta sports media bad mouth Shreveport like it’s some kind of punishment to have to go there. Well, this year I hope we’re not invited to the Independence Bowl because we don’t deserve to go.
