LIVE from Liberty Bowl: A.J. and Russ are in, Uga is out

dogs 002

Russ is in the house! (Literally.) He's got his bowl game face on.

MEMPHIS — Welcome to the end of Georgia’s season. I know. The Liberty Bowl is not what you were expecting, and neither is the modest goal of trying to finish with a winning record. But Memphis is a nice place, particularly if you’re into barbecue, and I can recommend the ribs at the “Germantown Commissary” (albeit not a BBQ-sounding place).

I would’ve saved the bones for Uga VIII but, alas, he has a tummy ache and didn’t make the trip from his palace in Savannah. At least, that’s the word that the Seiler family is putting out. I’m more inclined to think Uga just didn’t want to make his bowl debut at a game so beneath his standards, particularly since he came in as such a highly touted recruit.

Or maybe Uga’’s just academically ineligible like Caleb King. Like everybody else, he lost interest after the Florida game. Like King, he missed five “academic-related appointments” (obedience school).

So, we have this significant change the depth chart: Russ, The Temporary Mascot, is back!

Don’t, worry. Russ has more bowl experience than Aaron Murray: He won the Independence Bowl last year. Come to think of it, maybe Georgia Tech should’ve borrowed Russ last week for its game in Shreveport. Does Russ get holiday pay for this? The poor mutt was probably happy in retirement, playing shuffleboard at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.

But this could be good news for the Dogs. Russ is only 4-4. But he’s 1-0 in bowls and won his last game over Tennessee. Also, Georgia is 3-1 when both Russ and A.J. Green are in the lineup. (Kudos to newshound Tim Tucker for supplying me with that statistic.)

Meanwhile, back here on earth . . .

A loss would give Georgia (6-6) its first losing season since 1996, when the Dogs went 5-6 in Jim Donnan’s first year. Ironically, the last time the Dogs lost in the Independence Bowl was to North Carolina State, which had Donnan at quarterback, in 1967.

Here’s the good news: Donnan is not in Memphis.

But do I think Georgia will lose this game? No. Central Florida will be able to put some points up but in the end I don’t think George O’Leary’s defense will have an answer for Murray-to-Green.

Take one last look at Green because this likely will be his final collegiate game. He most likely will be a top-five NFL pick and I don’t believe the threat of an NFL lockout has any significance. Remember, any college junior who comes out can always take a nice little $1 million loan from an agent to hold him over, just in case the league doesn’t play next season. The potential of a lockout affects mostly mid-to-low-round picks, not first-rounders.

As for the significance of this game, it’s obviously a much bigger deal if the Dogs lose (panic!) than if they win (expected). But going 6-2 after a 1-4 start would be a slight boost going into the offseason.

Not sure what kind of crowd this game will draw but I’m guessing not great. The last report was that the Dogs had sold only 5,000 tickets for this game and gave about 1,000 tickets away for staff and families. That would still leave about 4,000 from its 10,000-ticket allotment.

If you missed them, here are links to a couple of stories from the week worth looking at:

Tucker’s story on Murray, who’s about to break every significant, single-season Georgia passing record as a freshman.

– Tucker’s piece on the homecoming and disappointing season by Marlon Brown, a highly touted receiver out of Memphis.

That’s it for now. I’ll be here to report on the game and all of Russ’s movements.

true dawg, i understand your faith in mark richt i too think he is a good coach. however i cannot and will never understand how a team has made the same mistakes since week one and nothing has changed. i have no doubt richt is a good christian man, but any man with a little bit of pride about himself would be irate and changes would be made. im no bandwagon fan but im damn sure not proud of what i sae today and have seen the majority of this season. coach mark richt needs to do some soul searching and find some damn fire.

How bout that Liberty Bowl? That’s 3.5 hours I’ll never get back but before I start typing I wonder what Mr.IBleedFreakinR&B would have to say. I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere. Nearly all of the big studs in college football are developing “show me” or “i like me some me” attitudes and losing the “TEAM” element. Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up. I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works. A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen). If they did have that power, college football would lose much of its stars because they’re all getting big heads like i said before. Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff. As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes.I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere.

Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedfreakinR&B said so that’s why. I am sick and tired of every Tech, Auburn and Vanderbilt bandwagon fan that I could absolutely explode. And….I mean it…to. Even the best fans go through a dry spell every now and again. And coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!! Everyone wanted him, and he played well up until about halfway through his career. Remember Demetrius Summers at South Carolina? #1 back in the nation out of high school, didn’t even finish 3 years. Marcus Dupree at OU? I know yall saw that ESPN 30 for 30 on him. How about ole Time to Die Chris Rainey at Florida? One of Meyer’s most prized recruits, and he should be locked up to go along with his lack of consistent production. Even high and mighty Cam Newton had his faults, and didn’t come cheap. Just because he borrowed a Heisman Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

Trophy that he’ll eventually have to give back, and has Auburn on the brink of a Championship that they’ll one day have to forfeit, there are already some folks asking why UGA didn’t recruit him. It goes both ways in the recruitment process. As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 in December 2010. Other domestic policy initiatives include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010. In foreign policy, Obama gradually withdrew combat troops from Iraq, increased troop levels in Afghanistan, and signed an arms control treaty with Russia. In October 2009, Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. Prize laureate. On February 10, 2007, Obama Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. announced his candidacy for president of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of the announcement site was viewed as symbolic because it was also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic “House Divided” speech in 1858. Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care, in a campaign that projected themes of “hope” and “change”. Obama delivers his presidential election victory speech in Chicago’s Grant Park Zoo. The large number of candidates entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. The field narrowed to a duel between Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after early contests, with the race remaining close throughout the primary process but with Obama gaining a steady lead in pledged delegates due to better long-range planning, superior fundraising, dominant organizing in caucus states, and better exploitation of delegate allocation rules. In my opinion Barak Obama would make an excellence SEC football coach and should pursue the Georgia vacancy in 2012. You hit it big on some decisions, and you suffer from others. That’s why you go ahead and prepare yourself just in case things don’t work out (i.e. – Gardner got Moreno, Ealey, Malcome, Samuel, Carlton Thomas, and Dontavious Jackson who were all top 20 running backs and came close to getting Stafon Johnson all around the same time). Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes. More recently, UGA just got inched out by Florida and Miami for Mack Brown and Storm Johnson, and they’re on the cusp of getting Crowell. Knowing all that, how can you possibly say that Gardner and Richt are not doing their jobs? This kind of stuff happens at every institution, and the blame should NEVER be placed entirely on the school or coaches. I get so tired of reading articles and watching shows talking about how the coaches are responsible for everyone’s actions, and how guys like CMR are losing their grip with the players. You know what…..some people (i.e.- King) are just idiots who hurt themselves!!! Get over it!! Some posts on here have blamed Coach Gardner for recruiting him in the first place…..SO? Every other school in the SEC was too at the time. It has everything to do with SEC football and above. It has been said that this expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the farthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the farthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic. A common form “what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”, is a retort to an irrelevant suggestion. This facetious usage implies that the topic under discussion might as well be the price of tea in China for all the relevance the interlocutor’s suggestion bears on it. In the United States, the phrase “What’s that got to do with the price of eggs?” has been in use since the 1920s. The variance “of tea in China” seems to date from the 1940s and may be influenced by the idiom All the Tea in China. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The British equivalent is “What’s that got to do with the price of fish?”[2] A Scottish variation is “What’s that got to do with the price of cheese?”There is also the derivative form of “what does that have to do with the price of rice in China,” due to the common association between countries of Asia and rice. It was big news, and everyone rejoiced when he signed…including myself and all you other Dawg fans on this page. He was a top 5 nationally ranked running back coveted by every major program. Are you calling their coaching staffs or schools stupid? No. Yall are the same type of people who would be whining if we didn’t recruit guys like Caleb. Even the best coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!!

It goes both ways in the recruitment process. You hit it big on some decisions, and you suffer from others. The proposed Canada-U.S.trade agreement had been extremely controversial and divisive in Canada, and the 1988 Canadian election was fought almost exclusively on that issue. In that election more Canadians voted for anti-free trade parties (the Liberals and the New Democrats) but more seats in parliament were won by the pro-free trade Progressive Conservatives (PCs). Mulroney and the PCs had a parliamentary majority and were able to easily pass the Canada-U.S. FTA and NAFTA bills. However Mulroney himself had become deeply unpopular and resigned on June 25, 1993. He was replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister by Kim Campbell, who then led the PC party into the 1993 election where they were decimated by the Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

Liberal party under Jean Chrétien. Chrétien had campaigned on a promise to renegotiate or abrogate NAFTA but instead negotiated the two supplemental agreements with the new U.S. president. In the U.S., Bush, who had worked to “fast track” the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton. Prior to sending it to the United States Senate, Clinton introduced clauses to protect American workers and allay the concerns of many House members. It also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own. The ability to enforce these clauses, especially with Mexico, and with much consideration and emotional discussion the House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17, 1993, by a vote of 234 to 200. The agreement’s supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; it went into effect on January 1, 1994. The goal of NAFTA was to eliminate barriers of trade and investment between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Just because he borrowed a Heisman Trophy that he’ll eventually have to give back, and has Auburn on the brink of a Championship that they’ll one day have to forfeit, there are already some folks asking why UGA didn’t recruit him. It goes both ways in the recruitment process. January 1, 1994, brought the immediate elimination of tariffs on more than one half of U.S. imports from Mexico and more than one third of U.S. exports to Mexico. Within 10 years of the implementation of the agreement, all US-Mexico tariffs would be eliminated except for some U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico that were to be phased out in 15 years. Most US-Canada trade was already duty free. NAFTA also seeks to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers. Maquiladoras (Mexican factories that take in imported raw materials and produce goods for export) have become the landmark of trade in Mexico. Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere. Nearly all of the big studs in college football are developing “show me” or “i like me some me” attitudes and losing the “TEAM” element. Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up. I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works. A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen). If they did have that power, college football would lose much of its stars because they’re all getting big heads like i said before. Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff. As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes. These are plants that moved to this region from the United States, hence the debate over the loss of American jobs. Hufbauer’s (2005) book shows that income in the maquiladora sector has increased 15.5% since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Other sectors now benefit from the free trade agreement, and the share of exports from non-border states has increased in the last five years while the share of exports from maquiladora-border states has decreased. This has allowed for the rapid growth of non-border metropolitan areas, such as Toluca, León and Puebla; all three larger in population than Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, and Reynosa. Also contentious is NAFTA’s Chapter 19, which subjects antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) determinations with binational panel review instead of, or in addition to, conventional judicial review. For example, in the United States, review of agency decisions imposing antidumping and countervailing duties are normally heard before the U.S. Court of International Trade, an Article III court. NAFTA parties, however, have the option of appealing the decisions to binational panels composed of five citizens from the two relevant NAFTA countries. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The panelists are generally lawyers experienced in international trade law. Since the NAFTA does not include substantive provisions concerning AD/CVD, the panel is charged with determining whether final agency determinations involving AD/CVD conform with the country’s domestic law. Chapter 19 can be considered as somewhat of an anomaly in international dispute settlement since it does not apply international law, but requires a panel composed of individuals from many countries to reexamine the application of one country’s domestic law. That’s why you go ahead and prepare yourself just in case things don’t work out (i.e. – Gardner got Moreno, Ealey, Malcome, Samuel, Carlton Thomas, and Dontavious Jackson who were all top 20 running backs and came close to getting Stafon Johnson all around the same time). More recently, UGA just got inched out by Florida and Miami for Mack Brown and Storm Johnson, and they’re on the cusp of getting Crowell. Knowing all that, how can you possibly say that Gardner and Richt are not doing their jobs? The fact is that our society babies these kids today into thinking that they’re not responsible for their own actions. It’s always someone else’s fault. They’re given a god-like, invincible status before they’re even old enough to legally drink. Nobody wants to admit that sometimes an individual is just stupid, and made a dumb mistake, and that it’s nobody’s fault but their own. Instead, they start looking for heads to role, and they blow things way out of proportion.

And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes. For you people, get off your bandwagon, be proud of your team and the best coach ever at the helm of your school who is bringing in among the country’s best talent (Yes I said that, Richt’s better than Dooley), and quit trying to make yourself sound smart by using information that you know nothing about. Even the best coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!! Everyone wanted him, and he played well up until about halfway through his career. Remember Demetrius Summers at South Carolina? #1 back in the nation out of high school, didn’t even finish 3 years.

As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 in December 2010.

In foreign policy, Obama gradually withdrew combat troops from Iraq, increased troop levels in Afghanistan, and signed an arms control treaty with Russia. In October 2009, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for president of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of the announcement site was viewed as symbolic because it was also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic “House Divided” speech in 1858. Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care, in a campaign that projected themes of “hope” and “change”. Obama delivers his presidential election victory speech in Chicago’s Grant Park Zoo. The large number of candidates entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. The field narrowed to a duel between Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after early contests, with the race remaining close throughout the primary process but with Obama gaining a steady lead in pledged delegates due to better long-range planning, superior fundraising, dominant organizing in caucus states, and better exploitation of delegate allocation rules.

Even the best fans go through a dry spell every now and again.

It goes both ways in the recruitment process. In my opinion Barak Obama would make an excellence SEC football coach and should pursue the Georgia vacancy in 2012. This kind of stuff happens at every institution, and the blame should NEVER be placed entirely on the school or coaches. I get so tired of reading articles and watching shows talking about how the coaches are responsible for everyone’s actions, and how guys like CMR are losing their grip with the players. You know what…..some people (i.e.- King) are just idiots who hurt themselves!!! Get over it!! Some posts on here have blamed Coach Gardner for recruiting him in the first place…..SO? Every other school in the SEC was too at the time. It was big news, and everyone rejoiced when he signed…including myself and all you other Dawg fans on this page. He was a top 5 nationally ranked running back coveted by every major program. Are you calling their coaching staffs or schools stupid? No. Yall are the same type of people who would be whining if we didn’t recruit guys like Caleb.

It has everything to do with SEC football and above. It has been said that this expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the farthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the farthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic. A common form “what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”, is a retort to an irrelevant suggestion. This facetious usage implies that the topic under discussion might as well be the price of tea in China for all the relevance the interlocutor’s suggestion bears on it. In the United States, the phrase “What’s that got to do with the price of eggs?” has been in use since the 1920s. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The variance “of tea in China” seems to date from the 1940s and may be influenced by the idiom All the Tea in China.[2] The British equivalent is “What’s that got to do with the price of fish?”[2] A Scottish variation is “What’s that got to do with the price of cheese?” There is also the derivative form of “what does that have to do with the price of rice in China,” due to the common association between countries of Asia and rice.

In that election more Canadians voted for anti-free trade parties (the Liberals and the New Democrats) but more seats in parliament were won by the pro-free trade Progressive Conservatives (PCs). Mulroney and the PCs had a parliamentary majority and were able to easily pass the Canada-U.S. FTA and NAFTA bills. However Mulroney himself had become deeply unpopular and resigned on June 25, 1993. He was replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister by Kim Campbell, who then led the PC party into the 1993 election where they were decimated by the Liberal party under Jean Chrétien. Chrétien had campaigned on a promise to renegotiate or abrogate NAFTA but instead negotiated the two supplemental agreements with the new U.S. president. In the U.S., Bush, who had worked to “fast track” the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton. Prior to sending it to the United States Senate, Clinton introduced clauses to protect American workers and allay the concerns of many House members. It also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why.

If they did have that power, college football would lose much of its stars because they’re all getting big heads like i said before. Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff. As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes. I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere. Nearly all of the big studs in college football are developing “show me” or “i like me some me” attitudes and losing the “TEAM” element. Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up. I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works. A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen).

How about you start with the offensive line that didn’t show up? funny how u blame the guy who is behind the line that was constantly turned around after every play. This is sad, they had a month to get ready, blame murray if you want, he did more in his freshman year than any other qb that has came thru GA. You cant blame the kid, he is only attempting to do what BuBu says and the line allows. Pathetic job of the O-Line tonight, coaches as well.

I have been a tried and true Ga. Bulldog Fan for over 40 years.
That was the worst showing of a SEC “football” team I have ever seen.
I have spent many thousand of dollars thru the years but I am done with Ga. Bulldog football until they send Richt on his way!!!!! Scott Howard should be fired also for being a “smart ass” -first to the UCF “Press Lady” that he interviewed before the game-He asked her (not quoting but close) did UCF really want to be in the Liberty Bowl-she answered that they were very happy to be there!!!! Howard kept on making “smart ass” comments about the stadium, Liberty Bowl and just being there!!!!! Well Mr. Howward your Bulldogs got BEAT at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis by what amounts to a “division II school”. We have lost “football” in Athens and it will not get any better until we hire a “head football coach” and new coaching staff. How embarassing!!!!!!!
I have had it. Can’t wait till the Boise State game for them to embarassed the Bulldogs!!!!

Is there any doubt left that UGAy is totally irrelevant in the world of college football (as well as in everything else, including academics). Okay, I have to give it to them, they are the world’s #1 party school, and they did win the Fulmer Cup. That’s something.

How much longer are dawg fans going to put up with this? I mean, your team sucks, your coaches are clueless, and your ugly mutt has diarrhea.

The bad news is Mark Richt WAS!

If this doesn’t wake up even the most extreme Richt loyalist I dont’ know what will. Maybe a 2-10 season? Why are you fools defending this clown? If you think we are going to be any better next year WITHOUT A.J, Green, you people are out of your friggin minds.

We might be 3-9 or 4-8 next year for real. But let’s keep Richt, right?? You people are insane.

I was a big supporter of CMR, he doesn’t have what it takes to win a NC or anything else. He is way to ssoft to be a coach in the SEC, it’s time to cut ties with this clown, UGA is will never get over thwe top with a chour boy. I tried coach, but this lose was unexceptable.

When the top 5 programs in the country are mentioned….Florida is one of those programs….not Georgia. That is what I am talking about….and also national titles. Have you been down to Gainesville to see Florida’s facilities? I have. Nothing like it anywhere. The weight room is unbelieveable. The coaching offices are unbelieveable. The multi media rooms are unbelievebale. The practice facilities are unbelieveable. The booster facilities are second to none in the entire country…..ever been to THE SWAMP and looked up at the booster club facilities above the stadium…nothing like it in the country. Georgia has a fine program with a fine statium and fine faciltiies…and fans…BUT NOT TONIGHT….but Florida’s program and facilities are better. PERIOD.

Boy, that was pitiful…..we’re not the first SEC to get beat by a non major, But today was exhibit A of UGA football the last 3 years. Poorly coached, predictable non working schemes. Play calling that looked poorly thought out. Sidelines unmotivated, Coaching staff with deer in the headlights look…..But we have Dawg fans on here regularly who would give the man a contract extension. Mark is a nice guy…………….If he was honest with himself, he’d call McGarity this weekend and work out a financial settlement. We were beat getting off the bus.

Mark Richt lost this game. First drive, 96 yards, 4th and inches’ on the 2 yard line; “send out the kicking team…”. …”I wonder how we lost?”. Can’t get the team motivated when you don’t believe in them. Sorry Mark, I was your fan until today.

I said we should not have gone to this toliet bowl game. Everyone said oh no, we need those extra practices. Boy, they sure were effective. I guess grass basketball wasn’t the answer to getting ready to play.

Richt and Company should show up at the airport to find that McGarrity had instructed the charter to leave before they got their. Let them make their own way back.

I love the SEC and Georgia and Tenn have brought this stain onto the conference. The All Crappy Conference is doing better than the SEC.

I did not see any improvement in Georgia’s football team as the season went along. I do not expect any improvement next year. We have to go through another season of this in 2011. Is anyone excited to see the 2011 bulldogs. Why would a top recruit want to come and play in a program that has gotten worse each year for the past 3 years. Something to think about Mr. McGarity.

Auburn fan….why don’t you rip into other programs when your team has actually won a national title in the last 30 years….and don’t cry about being ripped off a few years ago. Newton and Fairley will head to the NFL after this year…and you will go back to the middle of the pack in the SEC…and back to 2nd in the state of Bama….

UGA is no longer an elite football program. Richt is slowly ruining our once proud program. Van Gorder’s defense was the reason our program was successful, then when he left, the program began deteriorating. Richt obviously just cannot run a quality program. I just hope and pray that McGarity will tell Richt that if he does not win the SEC East next year, he is gone.
