Georgia Tech would’ve been 4-8 had they played Kentucky’s schedule. GA Tech struggled to beat Vandy and Miss. State the 11th and 12th place teams in the SEC. Tech would have come in 10th in the SEC. Obviously the ACC trophy is a pathetic joke and no one (repeat) no one respects it. Especially the Georgia Bulldogs who whipped Tech’s butts by just attacking them with physical football. GA Tech was not up to the challenge. Evidently, the ACC is no better than the Mid-America Conference!!!!! Maybe Kentucky should add Tech as their homecoming game next year! That would be a guaranteed Wildcat victory!

You have to love this game. Look at all the great posts.
Even the wacky ones are funny.Lets see if I can contribute.

Conspiracy Theory
Florida may have heard the rumblings from some recruits and decided to try and keep them in the fold. After signing day, Urban might have a change of heart…again.

But really, I want him back.He is a great coach. And I am a Georgia fan. I dont want to hear Gators talk about ” Well, If Urban had stayed you would not have beaten us.” Personally, I think 2010 will be a down year for the Gator nation. Not that they will not come back, just a down year.

As for the YECHS…Georgia won 30-24. Georgia has bragging rights ( even if Doug turned off the score on your blog so Dawg fans could not rub it in on the break). That is the way it works, if you dont like it, the solution is simple( more difficult for Tech to do). WIN next year. Until then 30-24 cry babies.
And dont tell us it does not matter. It hurts. 365. WE KNOW.Get ready for a year of hurt. Actually you should be use to it after 8 of the last 9.

Oh, and as for Waffle Houses, love Bert’s Chili and grilled cheeses sandwich or the cheese steak pattie melt. After a night of drinking, nothing better.

1.4 Million, you are such a tool. UGA played and beat GT in its own stadium, and this article never really talks about UGA mainly about UF and Urban Meyer. You can talk about UGA’s crappy bowl which they deserve but the fact is that your best team in 19 years lost to one of UGA’s worst, and it was not a fluke.

All of your childish insults the rest of the year will not rationalize the loss away, even though all GT fans. MS and MB have moved on with the loss did not mean much in the Big Picture.

30-24, we run this state and always will in the loan haul.

As for UF, anyone would have to respect what UM has done and he is one of the top 5 coaches in CF. I hope he is able to manage his health issues for his and families sake as long as he is coaching.

As much as I HATE losing to UF, all the best to Coach Meyer. I hope he comes back healthy, and, that the tide (no pun intended) shifts our way. Either way, I’d rather see us play UF’s best! REgarding GT, its getting rather pathetic. I really, sincerely, used to support GT, except of course when they were playing UGA. Until they beat us three straight years (with the help of an odd run of strange luck) and suddently you’d have thought they were a national power. The behavior of the GT fans then made me realize that they have few long term fans . . . they are acting like the minority of UGA fans who are fair weather and immature at best. Fact is, UGA, though not good this year, was the better team that night, and, if the two teams played ten times they’d have likely split. The bowl in Nashville points out what we all know . . . a first or second tier ACC team can handle a middle of the pack SEC team on a given day. Every year, particularly in the Chick Fila Bowl, mid level SEC teams play top level ACC teams, and, well, the results support my case. So, here’s my two cents . . . GT fans, enjoy the Orange Bowl, I hope you represent our state well. UGA fans, let’s hope for better in the years to come. We have a program to be proud of, everyone has an off year or two and I believe Coach Richt will deliver several more years of quality SEC football!

Jeff is correct about the emotions of Urban Meyer.

The James-Lange theory on emotions states:

“Within human beings, as a response to experiences in the world, the autonomic nervous system creates physiological events such as muscular tension, a rise in heart rate, perspiration, and dryness of the mouth. Emotions then, are feelings which come about as a result of these physiological changes, rather than being their cause.”

Would be nice to hear some insight on Fla and UGA but the dawgs are so preoccupied with Tech that is all they can talk about. Jeff, it is just wishful thinking that Meyer’s decisions this week will benefit the dawgs. Is that what it takes for the dawgs to become a power in the SEC, the remainder of the teams to fall on hard ground. Keep worrying about the Techies and never smell another championship dawgies. That thanksgiving game (win or lose) will give the weed eater bowl or the pizza bowl because you will be out of the SEC race. Real dumb.

Yes, a coach taking a leave of absence for health reasons would qualify as a bad sign for any program. While most see inspiration and dedication in Meyer’s difficult decision to stay, Jeff Schultz jumps on the “flip-flop” angle as reason to rejoice in Athens. Urban and the Florida program indeed have a challenge ahead, but sorry, it’s hard to buy the notion that the coach is no longer “determined and resolute.” The ESPN press conference I watched was of a strong program coming together, of players expressing their love for their coach, and of a proven leader aspiring to coach his team again as soon as possible. Fact is, he’s earned the right to decide against leaving now, and in the process, he’s solidified his commitment to the University. This is a rare and interesting story for college football fans, but the story is not about “flip-flopping” and none of us know how it will play out. Hold the celebrations, please.

yes. . it’s easy to be so light and breezy about that game this year. . but last year, tech put that score on some ring.

funny how some people like to change the subject when it doesn’t suit them.

as for the rest of the ACC getting better, don’t worry, it will. At least FSU and Miami appear to be coming back up. And during that time, i hope tech keeps Wommack.

I prefer leaders who know when to make a change. If Lincoln can change his mind on the War – from saving the Union to freeing the slaves (no, those are not the same at all) – a football coach can realize from one practice he loves the game and school too much to quit. You do not understand Meyer, Tebow, and Florida. Sign up every 2011 kid from Glades to Madison County because now they have even more reason to stay home and be Gators.

Jeff….I agree with only one of your points. Steve Addazio was not a great OC for the Gators this year. But the Gators offense will be more wide open with Brantley at QB next year. He is a very polished passer and a very good athlete. Meyer came back because the players asked him to come back…and Foley told him he could come back if he was willing to change his approach (less 24/7 stuff which was killing Meyer). Meyer will just have to learn to delegate more and spend more time with his family instead, which should help his health issues. The leave of absence offer was on the table for Meyer from the beginning. Meyer did not think he could back off what he had been doing. But the players convinced him that he should and could, and by coming back it would be best for the program and him….because, as Meyer stated yesterday, he just could not see himself coaching anywhere else but Florida because of the love and support of the Gator players and the GatorNation. Florida will be just fine in the future…maybe better. The players love Meyer, and so do the players he recruits. He just has to continue to hire great assistant coaches and delegate more authority and responsibilty to them. The culture theat Meyer established will not change because he is coming back. What will change, it the amount of time Meyer puts in at the office in the future.

This is the beginning of the end for Meyer. His offesne stunk it up this year. Tebow was horrible–again. Coaches are gone. Mass exodus of players. And Mark Richt sits there poised—loaded with talent, Kirby Smart as new DC, no wonder Meyer quit. No way recruits will want to play for a guy taking “an indefinate leave of absense” in rebuilding years and retirement mode. If this was REALLY about his heart, no way he would consider coming back. It’s obviously about the level of competition in the SEC, namely the winningest coach in the SEC in the decade with the longest tenure, Mr. Mark Richt, the guy who who made Georgia the #3 most valuable college football team according to Forbes.

Even the sportswriters have to prop up the local team and inject HOPE into what is clearly evident to any rational sports fan. Other than Bama, the gulf between UF and everyone else especially UGA is HUGE and Meyers change of heart is not going to change a thing. The difference between UF and UGA is that in Florida the media doesn’t jockey the home team like they do here in GA. There are as many media haters as there are enablers. That’s why they are such a big story and drive interest/ratings. UF is a huge story nationally as evident by their 90 min. infomercial on ESPN. UGA is a regional program. Outside GA UGA’s pretty irrelevant. Same goes for UT, USCe, Auburn, LSU, etc. This story has even the GA based sportswriters hoping beyond hope that there’s a chink in the UF armor. Not going to happen when you have the type of leadership at the top (Machen and Foley). Meyer showed the world an emotional human side and only rival fanatics and homer sportwriters can misconstrue what the nation saw yesterday. A coach that professes his love for his players and the difficulty in walking away from what he has built. UF is a family and a extraordinarily close family at that. Talented football players will always want to play for Meyer and UF no matter what wishful thinking fans choose to believe.

I’m not one who thinks Urban’s flip flop will be the death of UF football. Even if he had not made his first announcement, the program was sure to take a step back. I mean, it’s hard to see how UF could go up from where they’ve been the past 4 years. Tebow was a freak of nature, built to run Urban’s offense. Tebow is now gone, the offense sputtered some this year and Charlie Strong left for Louisville. Did UF fans truly expect to win two more NCs in the next 4 years? They are still the cream of the crop in the SEC, but they have no place to go but down. Just how far down remains to be seen, but what an incredible 4 year run.

The one thing recruits need is certainty in the Head Coach. They have none of that with Florida. You saw how uncertaintly effected FSU’s recruiting for years.

Recruits will follow suit–they’ll quit too, just like Meyer quit on his team.

But the good news is, all the Tech people should be in heaven hanging out at some of the more “rainbow” colored bars down there in South Beach.

to our friend ‘$1.4 million Shreveport vs. our $14 million BCS Orange bowl’ – ok nerd…you DO KNOW that bowl proceeds +are SPLIT among conference members…yes? You realize this? So your bowl payout is higher individually, but collectively the ACC’s is less. (i know you nerds can do fractions) Also…how many BCS games has GT played in? Ever? Oh…that’s right…this is the FIRST!!

Collect your thoughts, grab your calculator, take a few breaths from the paper bag you use when a GIRL approaches to speak to you at your drafting table, and realize that you’ve had one (very) good season…which will be extremely difficult to repeat, as the teams in your conference start to catch up to your cute, little, high-school, trick-play offense. Enjoy your one season of relevance, b/c it will be short lived.

that is all.

Total BS Jeff as the Gators own GA and will continue to out recruit and win when it comes to these things.

Hell, we will take Spurrier back!

I’m still trying to figure out how Willie Martinez outcoached me this year. Sure., we won the ACC, but we couldn’t beat the worst Ga. team in 20 years. Just damn!

Bamma Jamma–It is fans like you who make fans look so bad. How about showing a little respect to a great coach. And please don’t bank on winning a NC in 2010–as Florida I’m sure can tell you, winning back to back is no easy task. Don’t think Alabama will roll it’s way to another title that easy.

haha that was pretty funny.
I have to ask Jeff, in what ways do you see us really going down as a program? Just recruiting takes a huge hit? Or just the interim coach situation?

Gatorgirl, no worries. More the merrier! Always WAY too much food, drinks, etc.

Bamma Jamma, I disagree about Meyer, NCG, and next year. I hope we beat Texas, but the Tide has to stay focused. When we waltz in expecting an easy win, it gets ugly quickly, e.g. Utah last year.

Offensively, we should be pretty deep next year, but we’re losing seven senior starters on Defense plus Rolando. We do get Hightower back, though.

The monster challenge next year is going to be how many SEC teams we play coming off bye weeks. Four out of our five SEC West opponents will be coming off byes as well as UT and USC for a total of six teams! No one else in the SEC has to play more than one other SEC school coming off a bye. IF we make it back to the SECCG next year, it will be damn near miraculous.

The Meyer story is just weird. He changes his mind because of a single “spirited practice?” So, if the practice had just been average, then his status would still be “resigned” rather than “leave of absence?” What if the practice had been terrible, with no spirit at all – maybe Meyer would be finished forever with the game of football. Never has so much ridden on one practice.

If that makes sense to anyone, help me out here. It’s more likely that UF gave him a sweet incentive to remain the head coach at least through signing day in Feb.

Also, there are some seriously deep pockets among Bull Gators. It’s possible that a contract renewal that is even bigger than Mack Brown’s might be in the works. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to Meyer come back this fall “refreshed” and armed with a new $6 mill per year contract.

Worst Georgia team since ‘96: 30
Tech’s best team since ‘90: 24

Man, that’s gotta hurt.

I agree with Bobbi Dud and Sam Adams: how much stress does one really have when their job is to get incredibly rich coaching football? Once these guys sign a big contract, they can pretty much be lousy at their jobs and do no worse than to get fired into a life of luxury and leisure. Their main concern at that point is a bruised ego and maybe boredom, but if they have any personality at all they can usually land a color commentator or studio analyst job somewhere. Sorry, that’s not stress as most people know it.

Joe Fan, are you serious? Do you really believe what you just wrote or are you high? Come on man, Tech is not and will never be a football powerhouse. You do have a good coach, I will give you that. But do you, in your right mind, think that if something a little bit better comes along that he won’t jump ship? Dude, you want to get onto Georgia fans for us going to the Independence Bowl when any other year for you besides this year and the independence Bowl would be a major accomplishment for Tech. Get real, you may win 10-11 games every 5 or 6 years but realistically, you are not in the same league with the SEC and we proved that on November 28

Dang, the Russ was rough on my stinger. I was so excited to go the big bowl game that we get to go to because we are in the same conference as Miami and FSU. Then Russ stomped my pathetic azz all over this Bobby Dudd field. I hate you Russ, go back to Savannah and leave us alone.

Schultz, I guess you aren’t a yoyo. Florida columnists are quoting the recruits who are a lock for Florida. The rest of the country knows that losing a head coach, even if it’s only temporary, will steer recruits to other schools. That’s the biggest no-brainer in the history of the Earth.

I think this “indefinite leave of absence” could hurt UF recruiting more then retiring. If I was a recruit there are a few things about this that would worry me. First, there is no guarantee that meyer will be back. Second, lets just say he comes back in a month or two, maybe a month or two after that he rethinks his decision and retires. Now you are talking about going into spring practice or summer workouts without a head coach. Finally, lets say that he comes back and stays for next season, who’s to say he doesn’t leave then? He’s a great coach, but if he is physically unable to handle stress then he’s in trouble. If you’re a recruit do you want to go to a school that has this high of a probability of a coaching change?

I think what the guy needs to do is go ahead and retire, I think that will help uf more in the long run. After a year or so off, get an offensive coordinator job at a big time school with a big time head coach. There will be less stress, but you still get to do what you like to do and you can still get some good money. I think he would have to go somewhere with a proven big time defensively minded head coach, otherwise there would be talk of him taking over. Just imagine if he went to alabama, got about 1 million a year, and all he had to do was work with the offense while saban worked on the defense. It would be dangerous.

Don’t take or believe my opinion about Coach Addazio…then consider this from the current Gator players: “[Addazio’s appointment] was [met with] one of the loudest rounds of ovation I’ve ever been a part of in my entire life,” senior quarterback Tim Tebow said. “You could see coach Addazio getting emotional. The team has so much respect for him.” Tebow said the ovation went on for “3-to-4” minutes when Meyer made the announcement in the tarmac at the Gainesville Regional Airport Sunday morning. Also on the Addazio bandwagon is junior center Maurkice Pouncey, who told the media on Monday that he is “one of the greatest coaches in history.” “He knows how to lead the team, get the team going,” Pouncey added. “He’s a father figure on the field and off the field. Great guy.” Believe what you want. The Gators will not suffer on or off the field with Coach Addazio leading the way…and Coach Meyer helping out in the background until he gets well. The recruits have a lot of respect and trust in Addazio as well. His appointment will help keep most, if not all, the recruits…and help the Gators get more.

Realist…it has nothing to do with recruits or recruiting. It had all to do with the players and the current players relationship with Coach Meyer. Period, but you can believe anything you want. But you are dead wrong. Florida is much bigger than 2 or 3 recruits leaving because of a coach. I am sure Mullen, Willingham, or the Oklahoma coach would have been able to salvage most of the class and bring some of their own recruits with them. As I said, you are dead wrong about why Meyer came back.

Ninja…have you ever seen Meyer’s wife? Hot!!! Tebow is like a son to Meyer and Meyer is like a father to Tebow…and the same could be said for most of the Gator players and their relationship with Meyer. No one cares more about his players than Urban Meyer, and that is one major reason his is such a great coach and a great recruiter.

I’m a little concerned with all this love gatorgirl and tampagator are professing between the coaches and the players at Florida. The coaches love their players, the players love their coaches. I even seen the phrase “father figure” thrown in there. It sounds like a lot of bromance going on to me.

Hey Grinch… You obviously went to a non accredited Clayton County High School.Just exactly what are you proud of about uga’s tradition since 1991? The fact that your school is irrelevant when compared to UF,UT,LSU, and BAMA? The fact is that you can only hope something bad happens at other schools,so, you can hope that your do nothing coach can maybe,just maybe be the “blind squirrel that finds an acorn”.

TampaGator, I would not be so sure that an assistant coach will make a great HC just because the players want him. We learned the hard way in 1987 when Arnsparger left and the players made it well known they wanted Mike Archer, the DC, to take over. He ended up getting fired after 4 seasons.

The opinions of 18-22 year old kids should be the last to take into account of who you would want as HC, IMO.

Call it Like it Is,

Do you really believe that Florida will win the East. The Program is in a “rebuilding mode” once the Sugar Bowl is over. Too many players and coaches are leaving. I hope Urban gets well, but the Term “Rebuilding” replaces RELOADING for Florida.
