Georgia’s embarrassment grows more historical by week

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Was this convincing enough? Georgia just made Mississippi State look like a major force in the SEC. It’s seldom a force even within state borders.
Last week the Bulldogs lost to Arkansas for the first time in 17 years. This time they lost to another conference opponent for the first time in 36 years.
Doesn’t that suggest this isn’t some aberration?
The Bulldogs are 0-3 in the SEC. They stand alone in the conference in that regard. Behind Mississippi State, behind Vanderbilt, behind the schools you used to joke about. They are no longer the team that can beat everybody except Alabama and Florida. They are the team that can lose to every team well below Alabama and Florida.
After a 24-12 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday night, Georgia is 2-7 in its past nine SEC games. That’s not trivial, and it’s certainly not an aberration. The opponents in those seven losses are LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi State.
Such widespread failure screams this isn’t about missing one suspended player, no matter how good A.J. Green is.
“We’ve got to fix a lot of things,” said the maligned offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo. “It’s not just A.J. Green. We got beat on the field. You’ve got to go earn it.”
Turn back the clock. Cover your faces. The Dogs just lost to Mississippi State for the first time since 1974 and the first time in Starkville since 1951. Their humiliation becomes more historical by the week.
Embarrassed?
“It’s one of those things where you’re not embarrassed to be a Georgia Bulldog,” wide receiver Kris Durham said, “but we’re embarrassed at the way we’re playing.
“Our season could turn into a catastrophe if we don’t stay together.”
Georgia was coming off losses to South Carolina and Arkansas. Mark Richt remained optimistic (of course). He didn’t believe his team would come into Starkville in a funk. But in the first three minutes of the game, the Dogs went three-and-out on offense and allowed Mississippi to drive 53 yards to a touchdown in four plays.
If that’s not a funk, it’s the early stages of rigor mortis.
Offensive-line play remains mediocre, particularly in the running game. The offense had three red-zone possessions in the first half, resulting in a net of six points (two field goals, one fumble). Georgia’s only touchdown came with less than two minutes left.
At least give Bobo credit for throwing himself under the bus: “You can’t turn the ball over, and you can’t have penalties. That’s coaching. It’s our fault.”
Starkville is cowbell central. Think vuvuzelas, only slightly less obnoxious, thanks to an SEC rule that allows fans to ring their bell only during the pregame, timeouts and following Mississippi State touchdowns and field goals. The video board at Davis Wade Stadium even carries the message, “Respect the bell.”
Regardless, coach Dan Mullen implored Mississippi State fans to make life as miserable for Georgia as possible. Just 15 minutes before kickoff, he stood in the end zone with a microphone and yelled: “Our team is ready to go, and I know our students are ready to go!”
Glad somebody was.
Many of Georgia’s early problems were self-inflicted. Washaun Ealey fumbled at the Mississippi State 1 following a 20-yard run after he was clocked by safety Nickoe Whitley. The Dogs also fumbled when a Mississippi State punt inadvertently was touched by Bacarri Rambo, then quickly recovered by the home team.
The offense has gone from a mild concern to a five-alarm blaze. Bobo has replaced Willie Martinez, the departed defensive coordinator, as fans’ primary punching bag.
But this is about more than one assistant coach or one suspended player. Once again, Richt did not have his team ready to play. The Dogs should have played desperate. They didn’t. They certainly didn’t play smart or play well.
They are 0-3, having lost three in a row under Richt for the first time. They are somewhere south of ordinary. And it’s not a blip.

Touchdown Jesus
September 26th, 2010
3:05 am
Why does everyone have to add “fine Christian man” to every mention of CMR? What the hell does that have to do with winning football games? Or recruiting? Prisons are full of Christian men. Why does no one ever mention religion when talking about Saban, Meyer, Spurrier? It is not relevant. Is Georgia afraid fire and brimstone will rain down on Athens if they give Richt the axe? Why is a man untouchable because of his religious beliefs? And this talk from Adams about not being able to buy out Richt is a load of B(C)S. UGA has a money machine. I promise you, if contributions to the general scholarship funds drop 50% this year, Richt will be out on his sainted a$$ quicker than he can drop down and scream for Jesus.

Has anyone thought about Coach Chuky also known as Coach Jon Gruden as a replacement!!! Richt is a good man but not the man for the job. He’s not keepin up with the progression of the SEC. Bobo is not a really OC. Coach McClendon is not a real RB’s coach. Hell Grantham has never been a DC before. We need REAL battle tested coaches. Not promoted grad assistant. This isnt a D-1 AA or D-2 school. That’ll never fly in the SEC.

CMR is too religious and too forgiving to run this football team.. plain and simple.. all that Christian forgiveness stuff needs to go out the window when you are the HC of a major program.. Get a football coach who is a disciplinarian in there and UGA will do just fine. No urgency out there whatsoever.

isnt it safe to say at this point we were not flying to high with confidence and that these losses are not humbling as much as they are embarrasing. Humbling means we were expecting to beat this mediocre team….we are low on confidence and almost expect this type of outcome with this team….

We really might go 3-10 this year (we’ll beat either Colorado or Vanderbilt, not sure which). And the season will be followed by a Washaun Ealey point shaving scandal. Seriously, he’s got two fumbles at the goal line, he’s come up short on a few crucial and makeable third downs, and comes out of the game with “injuries” at critical moments and seems to be playing just well enough to not get pulled. On top of that, more than any other recent player I can think of I keep hearing rumors about him being tied up in sketchy activities back home and linked to sketchy individuals. I realize those are just rumors and they won’t get reported, but why is there so much stuff floating around about Washaun Ealey and no one else? And most of what I’ve heard isn’t even related to what he actually got arrested for.

When Ealey fumbled I don’t know why he did not fall on the ball rather than just looking at it. If the whistle had blow before the recovery, the play should be considered over as “blown dead”. Anybody have any insight on this?

All those wins and two SEC Championships.. Never given the chance to play for a national title (don’t talk national titles until you take all subjectivity out of the equation)..I guess Mark Richt has forgotten how to coach. I don’t think so. I love the man and thankful he is the leader of our program..
My only question for Mark is does he still have the passion, fire and desire to win? I hope so because I love the man and remain behind him and this team.
The thing that discusses me is having to read crap like Mark Schultz and all these so called UGA fans on this board. What colors do you really wear Mark? Where are you from?

Good maybe people will focus on more productive things rather than worshipping the Georgia bulldogs like a idol. Georgians should be focusing on the water and transportation crises rather than stupid over rated football.

What I’ve seen from Georgia this year is a total lack of enthusiasm and a total lack of hussle!!! [hussleNOT] Dawgs look LAZY and that’s an understatement! They meander onto the field and totally “give up” on the rundowns. We are way past due for a coaching staff.

Puppy Dawgs – It’s in the best interest of your fellow SEC members for Jawga to keep that fine Saint Richt. This year is an anomoly. With your new DC from the Cowboys (snicker) your one year from turning this deal around. And just think, you don’t have to play Kirby Smart’s Crimson Tide again until 2012. By then you will be dominating the Gators like it’s 1983 again.
With your weak arse schedule this year you should easily finish with a 7-5 record. That’s only one game off your avg finish since Ole Herschel left for the NJ Generals. So get behind Mark Richt. He showed you what he could do with Jim Donnan’s talent. He can get ‘er fixed again with his “dream team of recruits in 2011″.
Besides- Richt played at Thug “U” and coached at “Free Shoes Univ” and then hired “the bagman” to handle recruiting. What’s not to like.

IF, we have one of the top recruiting classes each & every year. Then it has to be the coaching if we get beat by MS who hasn’t had a top 10 class in years. Coach R just doesn’t have the look of concern when he paces the sidelines. Has a look of not being in control and the team plays that way. With a new AD then why not a new Coach?

I hope Georgia can keep all their coaches for at least 10 more years, but if they do get fired coach Richt can and should open an Arthur Murray Dance Studio. That guy knows how to dance.

You have to love an honest coach. Coach Dooley of Tn was asked by a sideline reporter what the overtime victory over UAB told him about his team? He said “that we aren’t very good but we are still trying”. The same might be said of the Bulldogs.

Richt made the mistake of keeping Martinez when it was obvious that he did not know what he was doing. Now we have a new coach and system which will have a 2 year learning and recruiting curve.It was also a mistake for Richt and Bobo to have announced that the team would bring Murry along slowly and that the O would rely on a strong running game. This gave the other teams D coaches the luxury of knowing all they have to do is play the run. I don’t see how you can make a big change in the middle of the season. This is as good as it will get .Another problem Richt has is the perception that he is recruiting thugs who can’t stay out of trouble. Richt should have had a zero tolerance from the start. Get rid of guys who are in bar fights, hang out with thugs who threaten students in a cab, steal a motocycle helmet, on and on. Now the thug rap is on Richt and it could have been avoided.

September 26th, 2010

The Dawgs are gone. Stick a fork in them … they’re done. Done after four games. 1-3. Look at all the SEC losses in the past two years. Is this program on the go? No passion, no fire, no drive, no zeal, no excitement. Confusion reigns, coaching is missing in action, Mark Richt says words that are empty and meaningless while few actions are taken. Demote Mike Bobo immediately and if the offense don’t perform in the next game … can the idiot. I can’t believe this is Georgia football. I know the money bail out is an issue but as much as I like Mark Richt as a person, I deplore his current coaching methods and ability.
Willie Martinez is probably somewhere laughing. It might not have been Willie after call … it could have been Richt all the time. Right the ship or throw the captain overboard. It’s time for putting this nonsense to an end.

I literally couldn’t sleep tonight… this loss was embarrassing to all of Bulldog Nation. A few observations:
Washaun Ealey is a fraud. He’s not the real deal. He should only see time in mop-up duty or as a special teams blocker. The kid is too stupid to hang on to the football and too much of a moron to apparently pick it up when it’s right in front of him. Two out of three SEC games, the kid has cost us a touchdown. That’s it for me… he’s on the bench the rest of the year.
Grantham is not working out. You can talk scheme, system, etc. all you want, but defense comes down to see ball, attack ball, wrap up tackle. Georgia can’t do any of that. The defense is either too stupid to learn in practice or the coaching is too inept to teach and prepare them during the week in practice… it’s one or the other. To allow a team with an offense as terrible as MSU to score 24 points on you is embarrassing and unacceptable.
Mark Richt needs to take over the offensive controls immediately, unless Bobo agrees to pull out the Tech gameplan from last year and follow it to the letter. Use King and Carlton Thomas and pound the friggin ball all night long. And Stacey Searels needs to be on notice that unless his linemen learn to BLOCK, to open holes, to play TOUGH and not commit STUPID PENALTIES, his job is on the block. If you have to fire him mid-year, so be it, but our offensive line is pathetic and couldn’t block Buford High School right now.
Finally, Richt should call a program-wide meeting Monday… every coach, trainer, player, waterboy, etc… and he had better LET LOOSE with the most fiery, impassioned speech he’s ever given. Enough pats on the back and “let’s support these guys, they are 20 years old”. Ya know what? Somebody needs to feel some fear and pain and anxiety and fire and passion over there in Athens. Do you think that a CHAMPIONSHIP coach like Saban or Meyer would put up with the last 3 weeks of crap? Did you see Mack Brown of Texas on Saturday night after they got beat by a LEGIT team, UCLA? He was PO’d and ready to chew nails… whereas Richt, in the final 5 minutes in Starkville, just looked depressed. I want him to throw a chair, kick a water cooler, SOMETHING to show these kids that football — and representing the University of Georgia — requires PASSION, HEART, DISCIPLINE and COMMITMENT. He needs to run harder practices where mistakes are UN-ACCEPTABLE. And he needs to tell every kid out there that they had better light a fire under their a** OR ELSE!
Losing to a real team like Florida or Auburn or LSU is one thing, I can handle that… heck, even losing to a good Tech team is understandable once in a while. But losing to the freakin’ Gamecocks, Hogs and Stark-Vegas ‘Dogs IN CONSECUTIVE WEEKS is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.
This season is lost… let’s get the kids ready for 2011 and see who wants to play and who can execute. This is a 6-6 or 5-7 season, mark my words, so let’s just look at this as preseason for next year.
Go ‘Dogs.

3. Several Questional Characters on the rooster, with multiple arrests ( 9 so far in 2010, that we know of )

Thanks A.J. for selling the team and the season for a measly thousand bucks. That’s what the team and the season was worth for you … a thousand dollars. I would sit you on the bench and say you earned it not own it. I don’t even want to see you go on the field. Stupid is as stupid does and A.J. Green is stupid. He knew what he was doing. This is the mentality of the current Georgia team … I will do what I want to do. Ain’t nobody gonna tell me what I need to do (you know). (You know) I’m gonna get a big contract (you know) and then I’ll sell my jerseys and put some real money in my pocket (you know). You know what I mean (you know). You know what I think, A.J. Green seems to be the poster child for this year’s Georgia team. If Mark Richt don’t demote Bobo immediately and start calling the plays, we will know friendship and loyalty mean more the CMR than the Bulldawg nation and the Bulldog team. Mike Bobo is the worst I’ve ever seen trying to be an OC. Can Bobo now or can CMR later.
Agree with A.J. Green is Scum
September 26th, 2010

I agree with the post above. A.J. Green is low life as are most of the other thugs on this years team. If CMR can’t discipline off the field, why should be expect discipline on the field. CMR has lost the war. 2-9 in the SEC over the past two years. Do we really understand what that means. Less than a 20% win rate … 1 game in 5 games. CMR has lost his fire, passion and zeal. I don’t believe he can coach this team anymore. I’m tired of excuses and him trying to spin the problems. Say this team is terrible and you would like one more season to turn it around. This year’s team is terrible and right now CMR is the most terrible member of the team. Well, maybe Mike Bobo is the most terrible.

You have know disipline and you have lost your team. Somewhere they quit believing. The problem is attitudes like AC Green. They care about one thing and that is themselves. Do you really think AC did not know he shouldn’t sell a jersey? Do you think they haven’t been told all the do’s and dont’s of the basic rules. They have no fear, or care what it could cost the team. He should of been dismissed from the squad and sent a message to the rest of the team that the team and school are more important than any individual. Your coach’s have lost this team and they know it. Head butting, black outs, and any other gimmicks will not work. Start throwing off your bad seeds and instill some disipline and you will start to see a team being born.

All the Richt apologists will rise this morning and spout the same old, tired rhetoric: He’s a good man with a good winning percentage and therefore he should stay. Either he needs to be Reverend Richt or Coach Richt-not both.
The past three years are certainly not an aberration. Since the thorough butt-whipping Alabama gave us in 2008, this program has spiraled. 2-7 in past 9 SEC games, and we’ll still have whiners saying Richt will save us.
People complain about the O line, with good reason,
People complain about the D, with good reason,
People complain about special teams, with good reason,
People complain this team has no soul, with good reason
Watch CMR on sideline; he has no idea how to fix problems. With all the separate pieces mentioned above, and their respective coaches, Mark Richt is the boos over them all and he is obviously providing no leadership.
It’s just simply time to move in another direction.

I said after the loss to SC that we might very well lose 8 games this year. I can only think of 2 games where we’ll be real favorites to win. This could be the most humiliating season since the 1950’s. Ray Goff’s teams were better prepared than this. Maybe the off-season problems problems are finally translating to the on-field disintegration. This is a program that is only a few years removed from getting gypped out of a shot at the NC, but you wouldn’t know it to see the train wreck we field now. I’m still a huge fan, but it’s obvious there are serious problems in this program.

Line of scrimmage! I watched better line play on my high school team Friday night. It all starts up front. We do not control any real estate. We are getting zero push and out O line is about as talented as my high school boys.
I’m serious. It is awful. We can run if we can’t block. We can’t throw down field if Murray is pressured like he is. We can’t get any penetration on the D line.
Frankly it does not matter if our skill players are Michael Irvin, Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Hershel Walker, Deion Sanders etc…..
If we can’t block anybody we can’t win. That is recruiting and coaching.
I have resisted the call for change about all I can. I’m not throwing in the towel yet on CMR because my hopes are that he can fire and hire the right people and he can adjust as programs have to do over time, but if this gets worse, I’m probably going to throw in the towel. There is no excuse for such a financially secure program to be this awful.

The 3-4 defense and the 3 and out offense appear likely to lead to a 3-8 season. And we have a better chance of hiring Norm Peterson than we do Chris Peterson.
I will say it once again: on the spot firing if Dooley beats us in Athens. Let Suzanne Yoculan finish out the season coaching the football team–she doesn’t seem afraid to hurt her athletes’ feelings.
And someone please tell Washaun ESPN doesn’t run highlights of winless SEC programs, so there’s no need to get jiggy with the ball near the goal line. Just hold the ball tight, fall down then head back to the huddle.
And should we just let Orson Charles and Aron White transfer if we’re not going to use them? Or perhaps we could just shift them back and forth between offense and defense until they have no idea what position they are playing–sort of like we seem to do with our traditional lineman.
As for Coach Richt, I feel sad and a little sorry. I suppose we should have seen this coming when black jersies were the man’s best coaching idea last season. Perhaps we could break them out again for Vandy or Idaho State?
I wasn’t expecting 12-0, but I thought the Chik-Fil-A was in reach. Sheesh.

Why would Chris Peterson want to coach anywhere else but at TCU? The state of Texas has the best HS players and he manages to get his fair share rather easy. The HS programs in Fla, Calif and Ohio are superior to the State of Georgia. Georgia has good HS football, just not in the top 4!

Welcome to the new SEC! The arrogance I’ve watched and listened to for years about how the SEC East is the premier side of the conference and how UGA is suppose to win just because you’re UGA is finally coming back to you all of you. Humility doens’t always sit real well does it! Even Schultz insults us after we pinned your ears back. History means nothing – not yours and not ours. MS State is not “just suppose to lose” because we’re playing UGA. All of this being said, I do sincerely wish UGA a great rest of the season.
