UGA has a good QB, talented backs, game changing TE, and do i need to say anything about AJ. I see UGA putting 30 plus on the board. It should be a great game that goes does to the final possession. I predict 44-38 tigers, war eagles, or plainsmen if folks dont know what to call AU

You UGAG fans are the most dillusional people I have ever seen. In 10 games this year the UGAG team is 5-5 with the wins coming against teams with a combined record of 13-33 but you think your offense and defense is really that good? Come on people learn football before you start opening your mouth. I will be the first to admit I am a GT fan all the way and our team is just not that good this year but at the same time GT’s 5 wins are against teams with a combined record of 22-21 so looking at it right now I would say that GT does have better wins.

UGAG fans never seem to amaze me on how dillusional you really are to think you are going to even play Auburn a close game. Just one time please be honest with yourselves and stop talking out or you arses. True football fans know when to admit what there team really is all about. Auburn wins by at least 2 TD’s.

To all the big mouthed Techies that will undoubtedly come on here in droves to pop off at the mouth about Mark “8-1 against Tech” Richt, what is your wonderful coach’s record against ranked opponents? You know, in the rare event that he actually plays one. I don’t think he’s doing that great in that department. I’d love to see an AJC piece on it, but I guess Schultz wouldn’t get invited to the Christmas party if he did that.

The Dawgs are playing the role of spoiler, here.

Grantham needs to figure a way to shadow Newton – kinda like the way Tampa Bay under Lane Kiffen’s dad used to shadow Mike Vick.

How about #42 – what’s the kid’s name – Houston? He looks like a stud.

Cam’s due a less-than-stupendous game. Maybe Saturday is the day. Maybe Auburn v UGA , 2010 is the game.

Minimize dumb turnovers on the Dawg’s part, get a couple big kick-off returns and they got a chance.

(After looking over all that data and statistics you laid out, I’ve decided you’re now hanging out with that Sabernomics/Sabermetrics guy)

My thought on the topic is: Interesting, however these figures may not mean quite as much as it seems. A superior metric would be to examine the season win/loss record against final season poll team rankings. (Get your hot intern on that)

If a team is victorious over an opponent in week 1 when the opponent was #20 but ultimately goes 6-6 for the season, did the opponent legitimately deserve to be ranked in week one? And if a team is victorious over an unranked team in week one but the opponent finishes 8-4 in the regular season and ends at #17 in the final polls, wasn’t that actually a quality win in week one?

But back to the stats as we have them. Interesting how for the first 8 years UGA played games against “ranked teams” an average of 5.4 times — with a high of 7 — annually. Fast forward to the last two years. Four “ranked” opponents in 2009, three in 2010. Yet the worst 2 year period of Richt’s career. Sheesh. More fodder for the bug zapper man.

Monty Kiffin had four superstars named (Derrick) Brooks, (John) Lynch, (Ronde) Barber, and (Simeon) Rice. Sorry to tell you, but no team east or west of TCU has that kind of talent in a college sense.

This has nothing to do with being an ACC guy or an SEC guy. I for one enjoy college football but at the same time I am not shy about telling the truth. GT is just not that good this year but at the same time we have beaten teams with a much better record then UGAG has. To say you are a top 25 defense is insane. You have stopped nobody with a decent offense. UF is aweful this year and yet they put over 30 on you.

Since Saban went 7-6 in 2007, his year one with getitng the new 3-4 defense going, Georgia was expected to go 7-6 at best, but add in starting a freshman QB, that has cost georgia at least 1 loss to Florida. Add in the 4 game suspension to AJ Green, that has cost Georgia at least one more loss to Arkansas. So, 5-7, considering those 3 developments, is about where Saban would have fnished with the same stuff going on.

So Richt is ahead of the game. Both will likely end up wit a 7-6 record in year 1 with the 3-4, BUT, BUT, Richt ALSO had a Freshman QB, and a 4 game suspension to his #1 player.

In the 1986 Jan Kemp trial, O. Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for UGA, offered a justification for the favorable treatment accorded the athletes, citing a hypothetical player. “We may not make a university student out of him,” he told the jury, “but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career.”

That trial exposed UGA for the football factory that it was, and exposed Vince Dooley as a fraud and a sleazebag. It also derailed Dooley’s plans for a political career. That’s why we see the decrepit old fraud doing TV commercials even now.

Mark Richt is just the latest in a line of sleazy UGA coaches who coddle athletes and discard them after four years of football. He recruits illiterate morons he knows aren’t smart enough for college, but he doesn’t care, as long as they help him line his pockets with millions of dollars each year.

Suntanned Saint Mark isn’t all he appears to be, is he?

Georgia also lost 3 DL to the NFL. Hard to have a good year with all that going on: Freshman QB, new 3-4 defense without the right personell, 4 game suspension to top player AJ Green, losing 3 DL to NFL.

Jeff,

Buck this trend? You did all of this research, well what do you think the record is of teams against the No. 2 team in the country. I am sure the No. 2 team wins about 95% of the time that why they are No. 2. Whether we beat Auburn or not this “trend” will not have anything to do with it. And if we had managed to beat a ranked team, at say No. 24, somewhere earlier this season I doubt our chance at Auburn would be any better. You guys keep circling looking for new angles to kick Richt and UGA. As an alumi and fan I know the Dawgs haven’t been good this year, and at times they have been terrible. Beating Auburn would be great but it is not going to change this into something great. Only winning next year will change things, so stop beating a dead Horse (dawg).

Alright, there are some pretty fair minded dawg fans on this blog. The ones who are saying that Auburn is overrated and that UGA has a better team are just flat out delusional.

Auburn has Newton, Dyer, Mccalleb, Fannin, Adams, Kurkensomething and Reed. UGA’s defense is no where near what LSU is and we ran all over that team.

Les Miles said that there was no way they could have stopped Auburn because they kept changing up offensive plays on their defense.

He can’t resign…then he would not get as much money. He needs to be fired so he can get all of his money.

Based on how the year has gone, it is likely Georgia gets blown out in this game. However if I were an Auburn fan I would be pretty nervous based on Georgia’s success in Jordan-Hare over the last 12 years.

Any team capable of giving up 24 points to Chattanooga is beatable.

Of course we’re nervous about GA. Every game makes me nervous but so far, no team has been able to stop our offense. Yeah, we gave up 24 points because of our second string defense that was put in at the half. We also scored 62 points.

If UGA can put up 62 points then you might beat us. Chances are, you won’t. The Clempson game was early on in the season before we hit our stride. It was the most physical game we’ve played all year and Clempson hasn’t been the same since.

HAHAH

In a world with sports agents, rogue alumni and backbiting rivals, the days of the gentleman’s handshake are gone. No program can trust another in this atmosphere.

There were probably few who were surprised when Florida coach Urban Meyer’s name emerged on Friday as the source of The New York Times article that brought into question Newton’s recruitment from Blinn Junior College in Texas.

While there were strong denials from Meyer and former Miss St. quarterback John Bond, who sits at the center of the controversy, we’ve all been taught the smoke and fire metaphor.

Believe what you will, I see fire.

In the span of two seasons, Meyer has become a shell of his former success. He now looks the part of the desperate coach who’s watched his program crash like Nancy Pelosi on election night.

With his player arrest record rising faster than unemployment and questions of whether he can win without Tim Tebow, Auburn should be the least of his concerns.

Watch Meyer today and you see the paranoia of Richard Nixon and a coach who more closely resembles Ron Zook than Steve Spurrier. Inserting himself into the Newton story has to make Gator fans shake their heads.

Doesn’t he have enough problems with the Florida players who haven’t left?

Sabin has to play in the SEC WEST.

In case you haven’t noticed, there are about 6 stadiums where it is extremelly difficult for the visiting team to win in the SEC.

The mountain of the Alabama line (Cody)went to the NFL-with a bunch of winners. This past weekend, LSU managed to get an entire game out of the
QB’s.

For the Georgia fans, and Kenneth in particular, Sabin went to the Independence Bowl with the desire to build a better team for the following year–and didn’t gripe about being in Shreveport.

If you believe Sabin and Bama are having a down year, wait till the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa.

As for Georgia, I hope you win because Iam4LSU, but the Auburn team, who has an eagle for a mascot, not a tiger, is the real deal. AU should enjoy the Cam, because he will not be back next year.

Lots of football in the SEC WEST.

Jeff, thanks again for bringing this to light. The statistics are amazing and only confirm the fact that this program is tanked. UGA comes off a huge win against Idaho State, then starts smack talking about Auburn. This is the crux of the problem with this program and everyone in Athens just keeps burying their heads in the sand.

UGA is the most cocky overrated program in D-1 football, and mostly the reason they get no respect from the polls or media.

SEC has nothing to do with the Dogs failure as a program. All these Dog fans keep bragging about the SEC, which I agree is tough, but if the Dogs cannot excel in the SEC, then maybe they should find another conference.

It’s doubtful that we can compete with Auburn, but the Tech game should be a win for UGA, making us bowl eligible. It won’t be a very good bowl, however. What will be interesting will be the post-season. Will Mark Richt replace any of his offensive coaches? It only takes a cursory look at the record since 2005 to see that the offensive coaches are not doing a very good job. If Richt doesn’t make any changes, then he’d better have a very good season in 2011, or he should also go,

All the more reason why if you are an Auburn fan, this game should scare you. The rankings and overall team success normally, rarely comes into play in this game. I have been confounded for years as to why with this series/game nothing matters much but who brings the best game on that day. Georgia has nothing to lose and nothing to gain. AU has everything to lose. A loss to UGA will loom large to their next game with Bama. AU will get exposed or come out a champion. I do wish AU good luck. I have no idea if Richt has got it in him to prepare and win this game. We’ll see

I don’t see Richt bringing in a high paid Offensive guy and saying, here, help us, I’ll get out of the way, kinda like the Auburn coach did……. Auburn fans listen up….your biggest fear Saturday ought to be getting up by 2 -3 Td’s early, that when the Dawgs start moving and scoring..

GA lost to SCar, ARK & MissSt. Murray was really ‘green’ against SCar & ARK, and GA was w/o AJ also. GA lost to a terrible Colo. team –can’t explain that one except for maybe GA was tanked by their 3 losses in a row, and the fact that Bobo called an awful game by not getting AJ into the game until the 2nd quarter, then AJ left w/ cramps for most of the 3rd, then the fumble that was setting up the game winning field-goal..anyway, strange things happen (James Madison beat VaTech, who beat GaTech). Then there’s the FL game…that’s an expected loss because FL beats GA every-other year, then GA beats itself the rest of the time. So, with that being said, AU has had a few close game–the game w/ KEN comes to mind where AU needed a last-second miracle to pull that win out –a team that GA handled with ease. AU pass D is weak, the game is being played at AU (visitor usually wins), AU is due to have a slip-up, GA has won the last 4 games against AU, are just a few reasons GA’s chances are good to beat AU.

sounds to me that the one who “doesn’t know Jack about football” is college fan in general. First of all, Tech is such a great school academic wise that they don’t offer Journalism degrees, nor degrees in “Housing”, which nearly a third of all UGA football players are majoring in. Do you know what that degree in “Housing” is? It’s a major that was drafted at UGA so their athletes can have a major. It allows them to be able to go into “public housing management”. Wow – what a hard major – I bet you don’t find THAT major at GT.
But my main point about you not knowing “Jack” is when you look at the recruiting classes that CMR has had every year since he has been there (usually in the Top 10, some years have been in the Top 5), then CMR doesn’t look that great. CMR should get PAID for beating the Florida’s, Auburns, Alabama’s etc; NOT Louisiana-Lafayette, Idaho St, Central Michigan, Georgia Southern, Tenn. Tech, Troy, Western Carolina, Western Kentucky, and Troy – who UGA has played over the last 5 years; Plus the annual Vandy and KY games.

Just relaying what I’m hearing, it is my understanding he is not leaving voluntarily. I don’t have a dog in the hunt, pardon the pun, I’m not anti-Georgia, I’m pretty much neutral as far as the Dogs go. One reason may be is an offensive coordinator does not have to deal with the amount of criticism as a head coach. Time will tell if it is true.
