After another flawed win, are Dogs ready for Florida? (Updated with Grantham video)

(UPDATED: 11:50 p.m.)
NASHVILLE – There’s a saying in sports: It’s not how, it’s how many. That assumes, of course, we’re not talking about college football polls or perceptions heading into the Florida game.
Georgia won again Saturday night. That makes five straight. If ever a five-game winning streak can cause discomfort, this is it. Vanderbilt, a team that had managed just three points in its previous two games, scored three second-half touchdowns. One came on a 96-yard kickoff return. Two others came on alarming efficient drives of 75 and 84 yards against a Bulldogs’ defense that was thought to be improving. So much for thought.
The Bulldogs, after leading 23-7, held on a for a 33-28 victory. The words “held on” never should appear before “victory” for a team that aspires to something higher than the Liberty Bowl again.
The Dogs’ four straight SEC wins have come over teams — Mississippi State, Mississippi, Tennessee, Vandy — with a combined record of 1-13. No, it’s not their fault they’re playing lousy teams. But this game wasn’t secure until time expired. A blocked punt with seven seconds hope gave the Commodores one last gasp of hope. An ensuing pass from Georgia’s 21-yard line went off the finger tips of a Vandy wide receiver, Chris Boyd in the end zone.
Is this progress?
The Dogs struggled to finish drives on offense. They wilted on defense. They were absolutely dreadful on special teams. They had discipline problems — from the players down to the combustible defensive coordinator. After this one finally, mercifully came to an end, players and coaches from both teams met at midfield. It looked like the stare-down before a rumble between the Jets and Sharks in Westside story.
At the center of it were Vandy coach James Franklin and Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who exchanged heated words. (Go to the end of the column for the video.)
Georgia coach Mark Richt wasn’t happy after the game, nor should he have been. First, he put an asterisk on the win: “I just don’t know if we’re ready to continue at the top of the Eastern Division the way we played. We’re thankful for the victory but we’ve got a ways to go.”
Then he addressed his team’s lack of discipline and short fuse. He said he didn’t get a good look at the post-game exchange, but commented, “All I know is I hate the fact at the end of the game that we can’t just shake hands like gentleman and walk off the field. … It’s like the end of a play. When it’s over it’s over. Go to the sideline. And we didn’t do a very good job of that. It is heated. It is battle. It’s not war with real bullets but it’s war in a sense and tempers do flare up. I don’t mind our blood [pressure] getting high but we can’t do something that may get us beat, or make us look less than a first-class operation.”
Grantham was cryptic with his remarks, saying only: “Everybody’s competitive. I love my players. I support my players.”
Franklin: “I went to find coach Richt and didn’t find him, so I found one of his assistant coaches and it didn’t go well.”
Was this a Vandy game?
In short, this wasn’t the kind of performance that is going to inspire confidence going into the Florida game in two weeks, even with the Gators themselves struggling. (Less we forget, the Gators were struggling last season when they won for the 19th time in 21 meetings.)
A blown transformer caused four banks of lights at Vanderbilt Stadium to go out with 2:53 left in the first half. Some of the game was played amid dark shadows. Just as well. Most Vandy games are best played in the dark anyway.
Richt was hoping his team would quick start. That didn’t happen. The offense was as dim as the half-lit stadium. The first four possessions: missed field goal (50 yards), punt (three and out), field goal (53 yards), missed field goal (42 yards). Twice the Dogs failed to capitalize on Vandy turnovers. Their first touchdown came only after a botched Commodores punt.
Also contributing to the early problems: The absence of running back Isaiah Crowell. Richt benched him for the entire first quarter. He confirmed after the game it was not injury related but rather for something off the field. But he wouldn’t specify. (The logical assumption: Some kind of disciplinary measure.)
The five straight wins aside, the Dogs still show flaws. The fact they’re showing them against bad competition is the biggest concern. After driving to a field goal to open the second half, they allowed Vandy’s Andre Hal to return a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, which narrowed the lead to 23-14.
Discipline and intelligence remain issues: On the ensuing kickoff, Shawn Williams hit a Vandy player late, drawing his second personal foul of the game. (Later in the game, Kwame Geathers was flagged for punching Vandy’s Logan Stewart on the ground after a play, but officials called offsetting personal fouls.)
Aaron Murray threw for 326 yards but he also misfired at times (22 for 38). The Dogs couldn’t finish drives, and Murray missed a wide open Marlon Brown at the five-yard line for a certain touchdown before the team settled for its fourth field goal of the night. The lead (26-14) was comfortable. The performance was not comforting.
It took two trick plays before they found the end zone against Georgia: a 35-yard pass play on a fake punt, and a 43-yard, half-back pass from Zac Stacy to Jordan Matthews for a touchdown. But there they were, reeking havoc late. First came the kickoff return. Then came the 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that closed the lead to 26-21. When Murray responded with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Brown, Vandy — Vandy! — showed its resiliency with another long scoring drive, this one ending on a 19-yard run by Stacy with nine minutes left.
The Dogs kept us guessing to the end.
Going into the Florida game, that’s a problem.

Answering your question though, Jeff, after watching the Gators tonight I think the Dawgs should handle them handily. I know the Gators are banged up, but they just do not appear to ve
able to move the ball, so this should be the year. Very sorry about Lattimore-hope it really is only a sprained knee and not something more serious.

Eerily similar ending to the ‘07 game in Nashville, which also raised our record to 5-2. Schultzie wrote a particularly scathing column about the dogs after that one. Then we beat Florida and finished 11-2. I don’t think 11-2 will happen, but I do think we will beat Florida, and comfortably. Good night Schultzie and Dawg nation.

Again, special teams looked awful and the playcalling is still the pits. The defense got a reality check and I hope UGA takes the two weeks to work out the kinks before the Fla. game because, as of now I still feel like UGA will lose the game. Grantham has fire and I like it. Somebody on the coaching staff needs to show some emotion.

Who’s decision was it to change punt protection so Butler was standing all by himself. There’s a reason you have blockers in front of your punter, but the way we are playing on special teams this year, I shouldn’t be surprised with this bone head execution. Until CR decides special team play is as important as defense or offense we will continue to have problems. Too bad we lost our assistant coach from last year who really understood the importants of special teams.

It’s embarrassing that we’re playing around in the 4th quarter with a team like Vandy, I’m done and I hope CMR is too. No one can seriously believe this team has a chance to beat either Florida or Auburn and therefore will lose the SEC East and be relegated to the Liberty Bowl or Outback at best…

I have seriously had it with some of the idiot fans on this site….You call for CMR to be fired, let me ask you something, who else out there has a better track record as a coach. There isnt anyone out there, of course there are some assistant coaches, but that is exaclty what CMR was when he came to us. All he has done over the past 10 seasons is take us to 2 SEC championships, and another SEC championship game. We have finished in the top 10 at the end of the season all but 3 r 4 times I believe. Won somthing like 8 r 9 bowl games, including 3 BCS bowls. he has over a 100 wins(average that out over 10 years). We are lucky to have him.

One thing is certain… Dawgs fans don’t like to lose… or win badly. Speaking for myself, I know I don’t. I know we are better… the talent on this team is almost unmatched anywhere.
I also like Richt… like him a lot. I also liked Donnan too. Sometimes like and dislike don’t play. Sometimes it just goes over the hedges.
I think TG let his emotions get the best of him. It may cost him a job. I think Richt needs to sack Bobo and get the offense on track again before he loses it all.
Talent, tradition and a huge, adoring and cranky fan base… UGA has it all.

At least Todd Grantham has emotion about football. While Mark Richt just plays with his mic. Todd Grantham cares about his job and his players, no one can argue that. TG is a damn good coach! Will Muschamp runs, jumps, and yells so why can’t Todd Grantham do the same? I don’t care if he was yelling or cussing at the coach.

Last year, I attended both the Colorado game and the UCF game and was able to see the body language of our players on the side lines, NO PASSION. I left both those games with a sick feeling about the future of UGA football. With wins against CC, Ole MS, Ms St and Tenn, I allowed myself to feel good again about UGA. However, we just witnessed another UGA outing against an inferior opponent that was as ugly as Colorado and UCF. Is being outsmarted time and time again the same thing as being out coached? PITIFUL! I’ll wait to find out what caused the CTG outburst and not condemn. Hopefully, Coach Franklin started it and CTG was just showing some PASSION, albeit, the FIRST of the night.

Our special teams were a disaster. Someone tell the coaches and players about fake punts, on side kicks, and how to block when we punt. And why are we kicking off short? And the inability to tackle is shocking. And the DAWGS are not improving. And where is the discipline? It really hurts to see an Alabama team play football and know that Georgia is so nonfunctional.

Congrats on your very impressive win over Vandy tonight. Still think you have a chance against LSU or Bama? The SEC East really horrible this year. If you don’t beat the Gators this year, you may never beat the Gators again.
P.S……to the refs of the Auburn/Florida game tonight……you can’t hit the punt returner before he catches the ball…..that is a rule. And note to Muschamp….spend some time having your punt returners catching punts.

Schultz is just trying to get the article posted as quickly–mistakes happen when you rush things. Get over it. I am much more concerned that CMR’s Dawgs keep making the same dang mistakes year after year. It has been five or six years of lousy special teams (why are we playing so many walk-ons on special teams?!?), penalties (both the normal and ridiculously boneheaded), the inability to find a consistent rhythm on offense, and the inability to run out the clock in the fourth quarter. I am growing tired of this…
On the flip side, while I would like to know more about the situation leading up to it, I generally don’t have a big problem with Grantham’s tirade. Certainly wasn’t a Woody Hayes type event.

First, give Vandy some credit. They played well in the 2nd half. Having a kickoff run back against you does not make you a bad team nor should it raise any questions about the staff. Second, why do some fans and all of the critics require the Dawgs to play perfect games to justify the win? Take the wins and move on. Questions: Are the Gators ready for the Dawgs? Just who has Alabama and LSU played? Let’s see how their offenses do against good defenses. Go Dawgs, one game at a time.

And before you Richt lovers attack me …. yes he’s a nice man. Yes, he’s a great Christian. Yes, he’s done a lot for UGA. But his time is up. Because I honestly care for the man, he just needs to give this whole thing up. He’s made a fortune, done a lot of good things, and can do a lot more out of the spotlight of Georgia football.

They scored thirty-three points with 2 of their biggest weapons injured (Crowell and Mitchell). Aaron Murray showed he could win when the whole game was on his shoulders. Let me remind how many times Auburn almost loss last year. If there was a story tonight…it was on the defensive side of ball and the effectiveness of the Vanderbilt spread offense. If you have an agenda share it with us.

I’m sure Grantham had good reason for what he did and I bet it had to do with cheap shot’s from Vanderbilt players or something that he felt compelled to take up for his players. This is going to be very interesting in if CMR supports him or not. I wouldn’t care what the reason was if I was head coach I would say that my Defensive coordinator was pissed off about something, specifically about something, and as head coach I support Grantham 100%.
If Richt doesn’t say something like that a lot of his supporters will no longer be behind him. If CMR and Grantham has an issue about something it should be keep behind closed doors and they work it out.

Jeff, were you watching the game? The Vandy players were instigating a lot of the pushing and shoving around the pile. When Shaun Williams got the 15 yard penalty Vandy’s Coach Franklin reamed his guy on the sideline because he clearly knew who started that scuffle. In fact, if you watch the replay one of the Vandy players pushed his own player to the ground because he knew he started it. On the 15 yard penalty against Geathers he was clipped by the Vandy lineman on a play when Rogers was running out of bounds. UGA didn’t play well tonight, but a better explanation of the “discipline” penalties is warranted.

With the DVR it was clear Grantham was shocked by whatever the Vandy coach said. You can see Vandy coach shout something and point to a UGA player appeared to be #36. Grantham was walking calming toward Vandy coach when this happens and his snaps around looking to what Vandy coach was pointing to. At this point camera pans away and when it comes back we see Grantham shouting and getting pushed by a security guard or Nashville or Vandy police officer. We know the rest.
Personally I give kudos to Grantham for standing up for his players. CMR better not discipline him or call him out. He stood up for his player. Way to go CTG!!!!

Here is what I saw on my TIVO at the end and what appeared to happen ( some of this could easily be wrong): Franklin was walking out about to meet a very calm Todd Grantham. CTG’s face was to the cameras. Franklin’s back was to the camera, but he appeared to be yelling (likely something really bad) at Shaun Williams, and he was pointing at him aggressively. Williams wasn’t that close to Franklin, and his back was toward Franklin as he was congratulating team mates. The camera moved on to Rambo, who was injured, for a few seconds. When it went back to Franklin and Grantham, Grantham had lost it with whatever Franklin was saying, and they looked close to fighting to me. It was a drastic change from calm to really mad in an instant for CTG. When the players saw the coaches about to fight, they got sucked into it. I think Williams played a great game, but his sportsmanship could have been better, and Franklin, very foolishly, might have lost his temper, which is worse than a player doing what Williams did, btw. I suspect CTG lost his temper at what Franklin did. Not a bright move on his part either!

JS, Everyone knew this was a trap game for Georgia and Vandy always plays Georgia tough — there is bad blood between the two schools as evidenced by the end of the game. You are right though — if we don’t get our special teams fixed we will not beat either Florida or Auburn. If Walsh makes those field goals tonight — the game is never in question. And what was Butler doing on that punt — taking a stroll through the park? What I would like to know is — does Georgia even have a special teams coach? If yes, why hasn’t someone new been brought in immediately. The special teams play this year is the absolute the worst I’ve ever seen at Georgia. It will cost us some games if it isn’t fixed immediately.

We will take a win…even an ugly one.
SC is going to lose to Arkansas and possibly to Tennessee and Florida, especially without Latimore. Florida is out and their new coach is looking a lot like the Zooker. The University of Florida should be embaraassed the F-Bomb and GD are obviously his most repeated words on national TV…but they are not.
The Dawgs need to find some passion and act like they are enjoying this contact sport. The special teams is a major issue as is the offensive line.
Though they are both down and not very good Florida and Auburn are both toss-ups. Auburn concerns me the most. The probable end result is the Dawgs will lose one more SEC game and it will be up to SC to decide their/our destiny. I really do not want any part of LSU or Alabama. Tech looks like a “W” though I wish they would’ve been undefeated when they played us.

I’m sure Grantham has some spin and Franklin does, too. I saw what I saw on the tv. Look at the replays if you want to and you will see it, too.

Agreed, Rob. You can go to espn3.com and watch a replay. Grantham nearly started a riot. Standing up for your players is one thing, but that was just stupid. Vandy’s coaching staff retaliation was almost as bad. I don’t know what happened to Rambo on the last play, but the video doesn’t show anything dirty happening.

I personally was glad the Dawgs had the gumption to do it — it proved my prophetic remarks to be true. Vandy shouldn’t have started what they can’t finish.

The way GA played tonight they have no chance against FL nor AU. Tech neither. They looked as bad as they’ve ever looked. They stink when it comes to defending others special teams and gimmick plays. Can anyone remember the last time GA even tried a half back pass? Any trickery to keep the opposing D off balance or a run or pass from the punting team? Thats the OC fault and CMR’s for not requiring any of the plays to be used. GA is so, so, vanilla any opponent will try anything against them because they know it will most likely suceed.
JS hit the nail on the head, GA still shows a lot of flaws and against better competition, FL, AU and tech, it will most definitely come back to haunt them on the scoreboard. may they rest in peace.

I didn’t dive at his knees, everyone knows that. You failed to block me. Plain and simple. Besides, I’m not small and I’m falling, that’s not diving, that’s me beating two dawgis at once.
Guess what, CMR wanted a meeting with the SEC over it and guess what… he backed down. Probably after he watched tape and saw all the chop blocks. Which takes team efforts to pull off, possibly coaching, no doubt coached to do it.
You can’t beat a team when they’re in full stride. That’s why UGA hopes Cam would be sat, Tebow would be injured (Buck Belue said that on the radio show the week of another FL beat down) and of course you don’t want Brantley on the field. You can’t win.

I think like the LSU game UF has acknowledged they’re in a pickle for this Alabama, LSU and Auburn trip. O-3 in the west.
That said, they’re back to the East with UGA. UGA can’t beat Vandy without Vandy turning the ball over 4 times. Look for a frustrated and angry UF to make a statement with Brantley back, I think they’ll run up the score so I could see Murray throwing 300 yards and UGA loses 50+ to 17. And then UF calls 3 time outs in the middle of the 4th just to rub it in.

Chip Towers will have more coming.

bardawg. . . How do you know they had a feeling of entitlement? I went to Georgia in the early 80’s and the game has changed. If the 70’s and 80’s Dawgs played now, you may be able to call them coddled primadonnas too. The biggest problem with the DawgNation is the success of the early 80’s. 1980-82 was the best run in our existence and somehow we think that 3 year period makes us a historical national program. We were not before then and have not been since then. In my opinion, national program finishes in the top 10 year in and year out. There’s a small number of schools that fit that and we are not one of them. Should we be is another discussion.

Watched my grandson play today (middle school football) and I was more impressed with their play than with this so called University Football Program. I can see why Vandy was so P***ed after the game, because it sucks to totally dominate another team and still lose. I thought the previous four wins were ugly, I was wrong, this one is truly one to puke on. I just hope SC can win out because I do not want to be embarrassed into covering my face when LSU or BAMA gets finished with us. You think we took a butt whipping by Bama when we were ranked #1? That was close game compared to what we are all working so hard to achieve – PLEASE!!! Richt and the entire staff must go or this is what we will be until they do. Richt had all his success with Donnan players and ever since he had to rely on his own recruits he has done nothing. Can we please pass the plate and buy him out, build him a church, or something to get rid of him???? Please……please……pretty please?????? And even asking “God help us” doesn’t seem to help.

After reading some after the game, Grantham might need a break. I read some tweets from reporters at the game that James Franklin provoked Grantham, and he was only defending his player. The video seems to support this. I don’t agree with Granthams antics and wish he had been calmer. You see Franklin say something, then Grantham gets in his face. This is followed by a cop hitting, I mean separating Grantham and Franklin. Watch the video and you see Grantham walk off, then Franklin follows him. You have to respect him for sticking up for his players. However, I do believe he needs to set a better example.

In addition, Grantham went to the Woody Hayes Graduate School of improper in-game and after-game behavior. Richt really has to do something with this guy, this time. Some sort of public comment of rebuke….and the the UG aministration needs to fine the guy. That was uncalled for. You just don’t do that. That could have started a brawl on the field.

1. Game was over and players and coaches start to walk to the middle of the field.
2. You can see Shawn Williams giving high fives to team mates just as Grantham and Franklin are about 15 yards from each other.
3. Grantham is walking cool calm and collected as James Franklin starts to point in Shawn Williams direction and says something.
4. Grantham looks where Franklin is pointing (@ Shawn Williams) and turns back at him and unloads on him. if my lip reading is any good there were some you little mother (f word) and I’ll (f word) ing kill you.
5. The two teams are separated and go to the locker rooms.

We’re not going to sit back and take it from anyone.”

Yep its progress Schultz. Stop trying to keep the fire lit.
Richt is back in 2012 and Dawgs are even better and he will still be there on 5 years.
Vandy is a decent team, ESPECIALLY AT HOME. UGA was wounded and the Vandy QB gave them some big plays running the ball. UGA defense gave up more TD’s than all year, what 3? It was a surprise but not a surprise at how much of a fight Vandy put up at home on a Saturday night, with a new QB.
Last year, UGA would have lost, this is progress. WINS are progress and no matter the opponent. Murray threw for a career high. UGA won without Crowell or Mitchell. UGA opponents have had HARD SEC schedules in case you havent noticed and SC was lucky to have won against UGA.
PROGRESS IS EVERYWHERE. Will being in the SEC Championship game be ENOUGH PROGRESS FOR YOU?!
I bet every other team in the East would like to have a season with a “lack of progress”, as you insinuate, but STILL play for the conference championship after having a losing season the year before!
UGA has a chance to win the whole thing. Florida just lost their chance. Tennessee, Kentucky, Vandy, no chance. Only UGA and SC. SC is about to go down. Maybe more than once. So if UGA wins out, see you in Atlanta. Will there still be a discussion by you incompetent writers at AJC then? Probably. You know the biggest thing in the state of Georgia sports is UGA. What better way to get attention than to bad mouth them and try to get the coach fired! LOL. Richt isnt going anywhere/

This is football not dance or soccer. I wish CTG would have punched Franklin.
Actually this is college football where there should at least be a pretense that these are student athletes and that coaches are there to help mold them into young men. You are correct that this is not a dance or soccer but it also ain’t rasslin’. Grantham’s actions were totally unacceptable as was his bird flipping incident. Both perfectly acceptable in the NFL or rasslin’ but not in the college game. How do you think Dooley would have handled an assistant acting like that to a defeated opponent? So I’m hoping Richt shows the fortitude to publicly address this and not handle it behind closed doors. I personally don’t like players dancing and styling after simply tackling a guy, especially when it is following the guy gaining 7 yards on a run or catching a first down pass. That isn’t just classless, it’s ignorant.
And before someone else points out the schoolyard chant that “they started it” once again, fuggitaboutit. That’s Vandy’s problem. Grantham’s actions are UGA’s problem.

Florida, you have lost 3 in a row to good teams…we have won 5 in a row against crappy teams. I’ll take the 5 wins.
As for the Grantham “incident”, I love it. Head coaches are supposed to be cool, calm and collected. DCs are supposed to be crazy nut jobs. Check and check. Grantham was sticking up for his players…kudos to him.
By the way folks, we get two weeks to prepare for Florida…win that game, and the only stumbling block left on the way to a 10-2 season is Auburn.

Can anyone explain why when Rambo intercepts late in the game, but with the game still not put away – and seemingly with no Vandy players very close – he TAKES A KNEE? Return it 10, 15, 20 yards and change the play calling, maybe even set up another score to put it away? What a novel freakin’ idea!!! Nah, lets intercept the ball, take a knee, lose a bunch of yards on the ensuing possession, get a punt blocked and nearly lose the game – to Vanderbilt. I see it as coaching, plain and simple. That same scenario wouldn’t have played out under Saban, Chris Peterson … hell, I don’t think it would have happened to Vandy if the roles were reversed and they were protecting a lead! UGA football sucks right now ,,,,, top recruits, top recruits, blah blah blah every year, mediocre results. If you get the players and it doesn’t materialize into wins, that’s poor coaching. Maybe Richt is getting tired; he has definitely lost something in the last few years.

Neither team is very good this year. Both teams had ugly games that could’ve gone the other way for both of them. These comparisons are ridiculous. We’ll settle this in November, but saying the other team isn’t any good because they haven’t played anyone applies to BOTH teams.

@dawg555 – Your memory is faulty. Erk butted heads with his own players. He was fiery for sure but to inspire his kids to do it with intensity on the field, between the whistles. I take no pride in seeing a Georgia player kidney punch a guy on the ground. Not in the middle of a scrum mind you but out in the open in front of the linesman not to mention the camera. There was a time in the college game that brought about an immediate ejection along with the 15 yards. This is just one example of poor coaching but highlights the example set by the DC, not only doing something stupid in retaliation but doing it out in front of God and everybody.

A win is not a win! I love UGA football as much as the next, I just want to win with class and for our players not to act surprised when they win … and to win the games we’re supposed to by playing disciplined and fundamental football. Even when we win it usually looks sloppy or we need some last second save to pull it out … then players act like punks and like they just won the National Championship. That shows lack of leadership and acceptance of mediocrity. UGA should have hung their heads tonight and walked off mad at themselves for a lackluster performance, ready to get on the practice field to prepare. I hate to say it, but several probably said “a win is a win” and couldn’t wait to get back to Athens to party like a superstar. Just being objective – leadership!

For some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, this game disturbed me. I expected UGA to be flat tonight. No biggie there. Wasn’t expecting a blow out. But the regression into personal fouls and not rising to the challenge when Vandy was about to steal the game, bothers me. CMR’s teams rarely reach their potential and seem to unexplicably flatline right when they’re on the cusp of becoming very good. With CMR’s career in the balance, I thought they might avoid that this year. However, they were not only flat tonight, but regressed into the undisciplined, low football IQ bunch of the past three years. In a season where the team is on a mission,trying to run the table and improve weekly, how does this performance happen? Add to that Grantham’s meltdown and it indicates that there are some serious problems with the coaching staff that will never be fixed.
I thought CMR should have been fired last year, but he wasn’t. So I’ve been hoping for him to turn it around, because I like him and I love the Dawgs. I would rather he succeed and UGA not have to go through a coaching change and all that entails. The first game was worse than I thought it could be, but since then the Dawgs have really turned it around and have improved every week. Yet, I have had a since of dread that CMR couldn’t keep it up. Its a pattern with him. Like I said, its not that the team was flat, but that they melted down tonight (coaches included) as if the whole past year of changing the culture never happened. What happens when CMR receives an extension and he’s not “all in” anymore? My worst nightmare is CMR goes 9-3 or 10-2 against this weak schedule and gets extended, because at this moment I believe CMR can never compete with the elite of the conference.

Shultz, if you had any integrity, you would post video of the entire incident. It very clearly shows that the vandy head C instigated this incident. I agree that Coach C should not have let his players see him loss his composure, but it would be nice (and unusual) for the AJC to give an accurate, fair and balanced report of the facts. I suspect that the vandy head C intentionally baited Coach G, and the he got the reaction he wanted.
Who had a camera focused directly on Coach G’s face as the mouthy vandy coach verbally assaulted the UGA players near Coach G? Why did this person think to capture a close up of Coach G at that particular moment?

I like a coach that is intense and has alot of fire, the dawgs definitely need that, but I saw some things from the dawgs players on at least 2 occassions tonight that should result in some kind of disciplinary action…As far as Coach Grantham…yes he is intense, but tonight it looks, now I say it looks like he carried it too far….I don’t have a problem with him defending his players, as he should, but his actions at the end of the game went too far in my opinion, but again, don’t know the whole story, but based on the language i could see from lip reading, it was uncalled for..He appeared more out of control than Coach Franklin, I hope this doesn’t hurt the dawgs when the SEC reviews the tape…Don’t believe our AD is going to be pleased and based on Coach Richts comments or lack of comments, I would say this will be looked into much further….glad to get out of there with a win, but the dawgs are at best middle of the road..
@TampaGator…have to agree with you the dawgs and gators just are not that good this year, and you are correct, if we don’t win in Jax this year, when will we….I hope in two weeks we will finally put together a complete game in all phases…The RB situation concerns me greatly as it seems we cannot run the ball very well…Crowell, as good as he is does not appear to be very durable, but he is very talented…Things should be better next year if we bring in K. Marshall…I am very impressed by this young man as i think all dawg fans will be, not for just his talent, but as just a fine young man with a great head on his shoulders…Whomever gets him is getting a special talent….go dawgs

As for Grantham, having fire is good. Not having the discipline to control that fire is a loser. This isn’t a one time incident. Also, I’m really disturbed that all that focus and new team attitude went out of the window tonight. Cheap shots, players throwing punches, players throwing the ball or their helmets. And yet they all continued to play in the game. Half the time it appears CMR is almost pleading with IC to cool down. CMR has allowed a true freshman way too much power in their relationship. I guess I just figured out what is really bothering me. CMR still doesn’t have control of this team and never will. He tries to negotiate with them instead of dictating. Football is like the military, you’ve got to have a boss. Grantham is the same way. He’s in the trenches with his players, “fighting” for them, when he needs to be leading his players from above.

Coach Todd Grantham for head coach! The Vandy team was dirty and they cut block while a player was engaged all night long. I just re watched the game as to what would fire up CTG so much. KG 99 had a good reason to throw a punch and the refs finally realized what they had been missing and that is why they did not kick him out. Also the personal foul on UGA when the Vandy player hit Zander later and threw two punches and Shawn Williams jumped in between the two and he got a flag. WOW. Meanwhile our offense looked good other than very questionable play calling at times. How about the emergence of RD 47! I have been waiting for that for 6 games. GO MB 15! Both of them get my Dawg Bone for the night, AM 11 would have if he did not have that INT.

Lakedawg, you ever serve in the military? Play football? If you have then you know the two are complete opposites. Football is a game of young men, sons, fathers, uncles, nephews. They are not Soliders, Sailors, Airmen or Marines heading off to boot camp nor should it be treated like that. They have worked very hard to get where they are now and it is up to them as a team and individual to get themselves better. I know I loved what CTG did tonight but I can promise you he doesn’t act like that for his kids. He directed that anger at an adult who called a cheap game and thought that yelling at one of his guys right in front of him was going to be ok by him. So I second the notion, what game were you watching. Not the one I just re watched on my DVR

Williams got flagged for two 15 yard penalties. One not so bad. The other a definite late hit to a defenseless receiver. Oh, and IC threw his helmet and I’ve seen him throw the ball in another game. I’ve also seen CMR gingerly approach IC when he’s pouting, trying to coax him along. Bad approach IMHO.

The UGA football program is a mess.
Let’s first look at the things that CMR was forced to fix.
1. Defensive coordinator. CMR waited way too long before cutting loose of his buddy.
2. Strength and Conditioning coordinator. UGA had the worst S and C program in the conference. I’m still not sold that we are to the standards of the top tier teams in the SEC.
3. Nutrition coordinator. How in the heck can UGA be the LAST team in the conference to hire for this position? The answer is CMR doesn’t have a clue how manage a winning football program in the SEC in 2011. The team still doesn’t have a dedicated building or specific room to be used for their NCAA allowed one special meal a day. The rest of the SEC has such a dining area. Again, the problem isn’t money; its CMR doesn’t even know he needs such a dining room to be competitive. Recruits want to think they are going to be treated special. Alabama and LSU treat their football players like “rock stars”. Image does matter and recruits notice things like dedicated dining halls.
Now let’s examine the areas that are a mess BUT we haven’t even started to address:
1. Mike Bobo offense isn’t performing close to the the talent level he has at his disposal.
2. The roster management is horrible. Once again, UGA doesn’t have enough OL on scholarship. How can this keep happening? OL has had 5 of 22 starters for as long as the sport has existed. That means sign 4 to 5 EVERY year. Apparently the entire campus except CMR and the football coaches knew that Caleb King wasn’t going to pass enough classes to be eligible this fall. How could CMR not use one of those 8 extra scholarships on a RB? The same goes for ILB. How can a team with 85 potential scholarships have to resort to having a walk on take the majority of snaps at ILB after ONE injury? CMR can’t get the concept that recruiting is an every year job. For 2012, UGA currently has two commitments from the ESPN top 20 in Georgia. UGA doesn’t have a commitment from ANY LB or RB. UGA’s recruiting class for 2012 is ranking 31st and that just won’t cut it.
3. Our special teams are an embarrassment. Do we have to lose a game before our head coach figures out that we need a dedicated coach in charge of special teams? The worst part is there isn’t a coach trying to fix this area. We just continue to look like a clown act on special teams. The rest of the world has figured this out. UGA can expect to see a steady diet of trick plays on special teams because we don’t have a coach looking at our tendencies and fixing our issues. Our opponents then plan plays to exploit these tendencies. The result is fake punts for touchdowns, reverses on punt returns for touchdowns, and successful onside kicks. Against Vandy, it was a kick return for a touchdown and then a blocked punt. The blocked punt at that time of the game in of itself should result in immediate action. Who knows what other things the dedicated special team coaches on our remaining opponents will exploit.
It’s 4th and long and time to drop back and punt CMR and then start moving forward.

You folks dont know Isaiah and his temperament. He has some growing up to do and is not there yet. Richt knows what the deal is and knows best how to handle him. EVERY player is different and the best coaches know you cant handle every player the same way Some players respond to criticism and a chewing out and some dont. Thats what made Jimmy Johnson a great coach. So do not judge a situation with a player and how to handle it because there is much going on we have no clue about and every player is different. You dont know Isaiah. Have no clue where hes been or what any issue was. Dont judge because you basically dont know what youre talking about and dont have any knowledge of the situation.
UGA is fine. Crowell and Mitchell and Ogletree will be back. We have some depth now. Florida is in trouble. Did you watch them put up 6 against the worst defense in the SEC today? 6 whole points. Hey they might can strive to double up on UGA and score 12!
I was disappointed to not see Bobo throw more short passes. We are not good at it because we never do it. SCREENS and passes to the back out of the backfield in stride. We dont throw to Figgins and he can catch. I sen Murray throw one away when the other fullback was wide open in the end zone straight up the middle. Bono has Murray looking at WR not the backs and against Florida, we BETTER throw to the backs after the receivers have went deep. W BETTER use the xcreen 2 or 3 times. Sheesh! We have all these offensive plays and call ZERO screens? One of the best offenisive plays in history? Watch old UGA film with Herschel and see how it is done or plenty of other teams doing it today and doing it well. it still works. Vandy was bringin the house, we knew it was coming. Screen play?

If Brantley is back, then I predict another close one. Without Brantley, I believe that the Dawgs should win by a couple of TD’s. Having some of our key players back will help tremendously. At the end of the day, an ugly win is still a win in my book . GO DAWGS!

LakeDawg, be positive. We just got finished with a long stretch of games. We played tonight without some key players. The coaches have 2 weeks to correct some things and maybe come up with a few new things. We get Ogletree, Mitchell back and should have Crowell healthy. The defense has played good without Ogletree who everyone says is the best player on this defense. Things are going well. We are 5-2 and escaped with a win tonight. Yes, it could have been better. Without the ST mistakes and Murray overthrowing 2 TD’s this could have been a blow out. I’m sure the players are tired and banged up. They should look good in 2 weeks.

You folks dont know Isaiah and his temperament. He has some growing up to do and is not there yet. Richt knows what the deal is and knows best how to handle him. EVERY player is different and the best coaches know you cant handle every player the same way Some players respond to criticism and a chewing out and some dont.
———————————————————————————————————————————–
Okay, that’s reasonable. Like I said before, I’m not saying there needs to be a boot camp approach. But the issues I’m talking about go beyond a single player.

Sic’em Todd Grantham! thats what Im talking about! Stick up for your players! Right ot wrong! You will never be wrong sticking up for your guys in the long run! Vandy was VERY emotional with all the GA players on their roster and wanting to win. it would have been their biggest win of the season but they lost an emotional one at home and they did show their butts here and there and UGA got caught up in it. No big deal. UGA is fine. Has to get better at a couple of things but will be at full strength and have 2 weeks to prepare and plan for a wounded Florida team.
UGA WILL win against Florida. Then WILL win against Auburn and Kentucky and go to the SEC Championship Baby! Then likley get slaughtered unless Richt is HIGHLY involved with the game plan, throw short passes, no turnovers, Crowll rushes for 100 and the defense plays its best game of the year.
BTW wasnt it great to see # 47 on the field again?! Hope Drew does that number proud as Pollack! It was surreal in a way seeing it on a UGA jersey in a game. But it seemed so right! Drew is a man as a true freshman. Next Reggie White? That would be great if he was 3/4 as good. UGA defense is about to be STRONG with experience, depth and talent in Granthams system. Look out for 2012 and the end of 2011!

kerryb, I actually expect them to play well and beat Florida. Just the long term I’m worried about. I’m an eternal optimist when it comes to the Dawgs (believe it or not), so I will be cheering the Dawgs on in JAX and thinking they have a chance against Bama or LSU if they get to the Dome.
Well, I have had my say. Just remember, we’re all Dawgs fans( except M. Payne Dalton Ga.) or we wouldn’t be venting about them at 2 in the morning.

Problem is, you have to have some fair weather to be that type of fan, i.e. all the folks living in GA who “love Alabama” now that can’t tell you where their campus is. I just want to get back to where we are dominant, feared and respected from within and without the SEC. You probably want that too. I don’t know.

Bama may take a dip next year because most of their defense is leaving after this year. I wish we would have played better in the 4th quarter of this game tonight but it was on the road and we had key players injured.

Dang I just want to live to see them win it all again and I get worried that I won’t. I think this team could run the table and win the SEC, or they could lose 3 more.

Richt is a clown of a coach who should be bought out ASAP. Poor control over UGA.’s program when it comes to game preparation and game management. Its obvious he is not in the better coach league, with Saban, Miles and even Spurrier and how much more obvious should it become? He can barely take care of business against the likes of a Vanderbilt. Saban beat Vandy 34-0. Spurrier beat Vandy 21-3. This “coach” should have lost to them. A few more hold your breath squeekers against New Mexico State, Kentucky, and Tech, mixed in with several smackings by a down Florida(because he can’t beat them anytime regardless of coach and circumstance) and a down Auburn(who continues to win even if they are down).
Under no circumstance should this “coach” be brought back for 2012.. But let me guess, he will be back. Can’t wait for more of the same old, same old for 2012 and beyond. If you have a lemon you don’t keep driving it unless you have to. Schools like LSU got rid of loser coachs, Alabama too, Florida too, South Carolina too. Other schools out of te SEC too.

I guess i better look up what the word “Prohibitive” mean. Oh, here it is, it ,means UGA lost the East on Sept 10th, by a score of 45-42. I say Fl and AU beat UGA. Vandy ran for 200 yards.

I bet Grantham tries to do in Athens what he tried in Cleveland. He was sure Romeo Crenell was about to get fired and thought he would be his replacement as HC. He was so confident in this, that he started secretly organizing the other coaches for the “supposed” transition. Crenell didn’t get fired at that time, found out about Grantham’s coup and fired him. Watch your back CMR.

Would you be doing the same with the Gamecocks barely beating Miss. St. on the road? You predicted UGA would lose last week at Tenn., but I never heard you eat crow. Instead, you keep bragging about your overall record. It’s a win. Lighten up.

It is stunning how far the SEC has fallen. Alabama and LSU are stellar. Georgia and Auburn are fair. USC and Florida are bad. Everyone else is horrid. The difference between Alabama or LSU and UGA is about 5 times the difference between UGA and Vanderbilt.

Apart from the penalties, how about the fact that Vanderbilt played one heckuva game? Dang. They came out inspired and found a dadgum QB that acts like his big brother, a winner. Bottom line is that Vandy is not the same team they have been and are getting better each week.
This kind of conversation is why college football is getting weaker and weaker. A win is just not a win. It’s never that the other team played well but that we played so poorly. That’s just not always true.
Sometimes the other team is, well, good. And sometimes the other team, well, plays good. And sometimes, well, the game is close.
Ask some of the Number one’s who get knocked off.
Everybody other than UGA does NOT suck. Bottom line is UGA is young, growing, need to correct some discipline issues, but otherwise the arrow is pointing up.

It is that lack of attention to detail and willing to do the small stuff that makes it obvious a coaching overhaul is needed. This type of stuff doesn’t happen at Alabama, LSU, Stanford, Boise, Oklahoma, Texas, etc. UGA has as good of talent as most teams in the country, but what is disappointing is the fact they cannot execute on a consistent basis.
The SEC is very top heavy this year and don’t tell me other than Bama and LSU that they are superior to other teams and conferences.
You cannot win a national championship every yr but UGA should be a consistent top 10 team every year given the financial condition of the athletic dept, facilities, etc.

Ugly night of football, but you guys are nuts if you think this was all on Grantham. From the earliest part of the tape, you can see the Vandy coach going for Williams. Apparently even calling his number as Williams walks away bc you see the other GA players tapping him and calling him to turn around. Franklin wasn’t going to find Richt, he was going to rebuke Williams. Grantham intercepted him, which was right. If Grantham had been heading toward a Vandy player who was walking away, the Vandy coach — any coach — would have done the same thing. Then watch #86 and #11 on Vandy get right up in Grantham’s face, moving from way outside of the frame to purposefully get in it. Before their coach talks about “class” he needs to get out of his glass house. Purposeful provocation is as bad as retaliation. Both are evidences of a lack of self-control. Defending a player doesn’t bother me, even if it’s to the head coach. This bothers me bc I want Grantham acting better than Muschamp & Johnson, who frequently use the same 2 phrases AT THE REFS when they don’t like their calls. I would rather see a coach get passionate to protect his players than to argue a call.

I have been saying UGA is a poorly coached team. CMR is a good coach with terrible inexperienced assistant coaches. Bobo should not be the OC and needs to be coaching in Div.II or III. His play calling lacks in so many areas. It is predictable, lacks any imagination and is as standard as a multiplication test. They need new and fresh plays and play calling. His play calling in certain situations has allowed other teams to score by interceptions and fumbles. Clemson made the move for a new OC b/c Dabo’s job was on the line.Look how much better and fun they are on offense. As far as Grantham, he never has had big time DC experience before he came to UGA. It was always as a Line coach or assistant. I think he is doing a good job but I am no sold yet on the 3-4. SEC has too many big strong backs and is to physical not to have at least 4 line man on certain downs esp. on running downs. They still need to get pressue on QB but the secondary is playing better as well as the Linebackers. Once they are healthy I am excited to see if defense is as good as I thnk they could be. The offensive line has a new coach and you can tell. Poor blocking technique esp. on running plays. Too many missed assighnments and players out of position. They must run the ball more but need different formations and plays.The receivers are probably doing the best out of everyone. The special teams are terrible. Coached poorly and executing poorly. How can you not block somone on a punt. No communication or leadership. Both punter and kicker are pre-season All-Americans. I think they let it go to their heads as well as the coaches did. They thought since they were so dominant last year then they would not have to work as hard. WRONG. UGA has given away so many points this year by interceptions, special teams and alot of this is b/c of the bad play calling and execution and focus. Bobo calling puts them into situations where you have to pass then they end up punting. Boise State looked better coached, prepared, and executed like an SEC school should. Why can’t we learn from our mistakes? Why does CMR feel so loyal to Bobo? He fired his friend Wille Martinez why not Bobo? I think CMR keeps his job but with stipulations. If they win out and go to SEC championship game he will get a new contract but will have to make assistant changes. If he wins 3 or 4 more then wins his bowl game then he is ok for another season. The only way he is not back next year is if he retires or looses 3 of his last 5.(UF,Auburn, GT) UGA has some of the best talent in the country. These players deserve to have top coaches in their position. That is why I think we lose recruits each year b/c of the reputation of some of our coaches. Their is no reason why UGAshould not be in the top 10 every year. Good luck in Jacksonville….1951 graduate just want more….

Please, not a win is a win and we’ve won 5 in a row. those 5 teams are 1-13 since we started this run. We haven’t proven dittilee squat. Any ranked well coached team would kill us. Firing Richt is what folks want, but a million dollar a year high powered new OC would be a good start. We just pretty much sux, but have some great athletes, same as Florida, whose entire roster is loaded with 4 & 5 star players. If McGarity is happy, we are screwed.

Altercation between Todd Grantham and James Franklin after the game:
J. Franklin: Good game, coach.
T. Grantham: You guys din’t belong on they same field as our guys.
J. Franklin: looks like we will be your new rival since you can no longer compete with Florida, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina and the likes.
T. Grantham: You’re probably right. We can compete with anyone as long as they call the same plays we study on their game film.
J. Franklin: hahaha.
T. Grantham: What are you laughing at big guy?
J. Franklin: I’m sorry, I thought you were joking.
T. Grantham: We’ll show you what joking is at our place next year dude (with gnashing of the teeth).
J. Franklin: Yeah, good luck with that. Like you’ll be coaching there next season, haha (under his breath)

Richt has lost it. The bottom line is that he can’t keep players and now coaches IN line so for all that is going on, it all rises and falls on the HC and he has lost control. Let him go at the end of this season. His time is up. I wish him well somewhere else. He can’t lead Ga to another cha,pionship. Ga will go 8-4 at best. 7-5 is still on the table. That’s no-good enough ….especially with this schedule.

The “LITTLE DETAILS” are the BIG THINGS in football. Georgia has not addressed handling the small details which add up to wins and losses. It was a good win as any is in the SEC. Special teams was awful. The offense still does not finish drives. Clock management from an offensive perspective is terrible. The Dogs need a week off. The defense has been carrying this team. Murray has got to…got to…got to take better care of the football. He turns the ball over in crucial situations and makes it tough on the defense. Richt and Bobo have got to stop trying to depend on Walsh to hit field goals from 45+ every time the offense stalls. These miscues and mistakes will be our undoing if we don’t get it corrected and soon.

The biggest change that CMR needs to make is to stop recruiting the low-class illiterates and thugs who he seems to think will win for him and keep his oversized paychecks coming in. People like Marcus Dowtin, A.J. Green, Washaun Ealey, Caleb King, Cornelius Washington, and others too numerous to mention are not team players, they’re “me first” jerks who don’t give a rip about anyone else.

The athletic history of UGA is full of so many sordid, sleazy incidents – dating back to Vince Dooley and continuing through Mark Richt – that it’s impossible to overlook. The school has come to stand for drunkenness and lawlessness, coddling of illiterate athletes who should never have been admitted to college, and rampant cheating by coaches.
UGA and Mark Richt are an affront and an embarrassment to all decent people in this state.

A few facts about UGA that you might consider:
1. UGA is the nation’s #1 party school. That means that UGA has the highest number of drunks on campus of all the colleges and universities in the U.S. These drunks keep the Athens-Clarke County jail full, and provide full employment to law enforcement personnel, bail bondsmen, and attorneys. Really something to be proud of, isn’t it.
2. UGA athletes are some of the most illiterate morons in the country. Most of them take remedial studies, which is the stuff that most kids learn by the seventh grade. But not your dummies, who you laughingly call student-athletes. The very few who actually graduate have worthless diplomas in worthless studies that no employer is looking for.
3. Even your fans are trashy, stupid drunks. Take a look at what your campus looks like after a home game, and check the number of DUIs the police issue between Athens and Atlanta after a game.
4. UGA athletes must think that ankle monitoring bracelets are bling, they see so many of them in the locker room.
A really miserable, sorry place, and a huge embarrassment to all Georgians.

They were just looking ahead to the Cocktail Party, but it’s still the little nagging things I’ve said all along……We just don’t go for the kill whenever we have an opponent on the ropes. Settling for the FGs when you need TDs is not a sound philosophy in this conference, because that sometimes comes back to bite you right in the butt……just as it almost did last night. However, I can also chalk this up to missing key players like Mitchell, Washington, etc……and Crowell never really got into sync after being held out the 1st qtr. Be that as it may, having a 20-0 lead at the half, and a 23-7 lead into the 3rd qtr, well, you should be able to finish up the opponent. Going conservative in the second half with a lead has been the story of this team all year long…..and this will bite us later on. Bank on it.

The good thing is we won. The bad thing is we looked terrible doing it. We actually made Vandy look like a football team. At the beginning of the season I thot we had the best special teams in America. So much for that. 2 missed FG’s, didn’t tackle on a return and adding insult to injury, couldn’t block on a punt. If you looked at the rusher( the guy on the rite), the man who was suppose do block went down field for the punt. You wud thing that we wud have mass protect with 10 or so seconds left, unbelievable.
BOBO really needs to go. First time I have ever called for a change, My bad, thot the same about Martinez. You have Crowell, and you start Samuel??? Compare Alabama and Georgia. Sorry, but we really can’t, can we? But they run, run run…then pass. Bobo, a Dawg from the 90’s has outlived his credentials..He is enamored with the pass. And he calls them at the most inopportune times.
What about Orson Charles?? He is ALWAYS open,,,go figure.
I said after the 2 losses that we wud run the table. WE still can,,,we just need to get back to Georgia football, run run and then pass when we don’t have to.
MAYBE BOBO CAN GET HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS POSTERIOR…IT WOULD BE REFRESHING..

Another Rogers brother to make life miserable for Georgia football fans. I think Vandy found something last night – he will cause a lot of problems. Also, need to coach the players to not react to poor officiating because it just keeps getting worse. Take your intentional clip or stomp on the leg and show good sportsmanship (Ha). Somehow officials miss those but they can find Block in the Back from 60 yards away! Block in the Back should be done away with unless it is below the waist – I am sick of seeing someone touched from behind 20 yards behind the play causing the ball to be brought back. It’s football, dammit!

Richt’s Dawgs always fall for trick plays like onside kicks,fake punts,etc.
This is unacceptable. Now the lack discipline (penalties galore) has returned. Even lack of discipline from the DC Grantham. Why wasn’t we told about Crowell being benched because of off-field issue ? Richt is hiding thug activity again.
How do you let Vandy come within 5 yards of beating you ? The team couldn’t even seal the victory by running out 20 seconds on the clock. The punter should have just sprinted towards his own end zone then stepped out of bounds on the 5 yard line,game over. I’m sorry but UGA needs a new coach now. Penalties,poor clock management,off-field player issues,letting door mat teams almost beat you all equal a need for a coaching change.

7 wins…see ya

Have you ever seen a Nick Saban team perform like Georgia did against Vanderbilt. I see where Boise State scored 35 points in the first quarter last night against Colorado State. If we hadn’t played this cupcake schedule, Georgia would be firing Richt by now. If you watch the games you can see he can’t coach, the team has no discipline and turns the ball over each week. TIme for Kirby Smart or Chris Peterson to take over the team. The Mark Richt experiment is over. He has proven over the past 10 years he can’t coach. I have no doubt this team will lose to Florida and Auburn. Chris Peterson’s(Boise State) football teams are well-coached and beat Richt like a drum when they played at the Georgia Dome. Just imagine what he could do with Georgia’s talent!

It must be an aspect of sportswriting that I just don’t understand fully, but before the game, everyone’s talking about how improved Vandy is, what a great defense they have, how well the new coach has them playing, etc., etc., etc., and then turn around after Georgia wins the game and say, “Geez, Georgia “eeks” by VANDERBILT, the lowliest of the low, how can they ever beat Florida?, etc., etc., etc. I just don’t get it.
What I do get is how stupid the vast majority of football (Dawgs included) fans can be. When Georgia (or whatever team) loses after a good, well-played, hard-fought game, the fans say, “The team can’t win. The only thing that matters is the win/loss column. Richt needs to go!” Let the team actually win a game and they say, “We may have won, but we “looked” horrible” doing it!” This year, unless you’re Alabama or LSU, your team sucks — period. Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and every other team in the SEC sucks. You all know it, I know it.
So, take your favorite brand of happy pill, wait till next year, and hope that ‘Bama or LSU can bring home a sixth consecutive national championship for the SEC. God bless Coach Richt, God bless Georgia.

Grantham cares about his players and winning, if I had a kid playing or if I was a player that is who I want to play for. Franklin needs to take care of how his players play before telling someone else how to coach.

I have never seen Richt lead a team 24-0 at the half and lose like Saban did. The worst loss in Bama history in my book. Especially worse was it was to Auburn.
Does not matter that we will clean their clock because of the revenge factor. There should be no revenge as we s/h finished business.
Lost to Utah in a debacle. Beat a bad TN team 12-10 in rout to a NC win. Beat TX without Colt most of the game. Lost to Auburn above. Quit again in 3rd qt against FL.
Hell Gene at Auburn has as many outright NCs as Saban 1. LSU shared it if I recall.

I was a critic of Grantham for a long time, but after seeing that video, I must say he is winning me over. I love the fire and intensity. His defensive unit will feed off that. Good for him.
I am interested in what it was in regards too, I suspect it might have been the vicious tackle Rambo laid on one of his WRs that nearly knocked the young man out. We do see Rambo laying injured on the field at the end of the game. Right now, I can only speculate,
There are no moral victories in football, and wins dont come with style points. A tough SEC win on the road is huge for this team. They live to battle another day. GO DAWGS

Have you watched what Mark Richt does after a player commits a personal foul and a 15 yard penalty? He says something and they walk away. They are back in game and do same thing again. I saw Nick Saban go on the field and grab the player and get in his grill. It’s called discipline! Georgia doesn’t have it. Players don’t play under control and play flat with no emotion. Playing not to lose every week. Mark Richt shows no emotion and so does his team. Football is a game of emotion and you have to have emotion to win consistently! Fire Richt! Hire Kirby Smart or Chris Peterson!

Grantham is supposed to be one of the adults out there. Instead, a Vandy player has to step in and stop this jerk from embarassing himself worse.

We’re beating inferior opponents this year – that’s an improvement from last season – and we’re playing a Gator-like schedule (shades of 2009) packed with as many cream puffs as a combination of skullduggery and plain old dumb luck will allow.
But the SEC East is bad, very bad, so UGA “success” is more a product of the East coming back to UGA rather than UGA rising to the usual high level of competition.
Florida appears about as beatable as I’ve seen them in years. Unfortunately, that may work against our beloved charges in Athens.
Not to flatter us Dawgs, but the outdoor cocktail party may end up being UF’s bowl game this year. What better way to put a ribbon on the pile of crap that’s Florida’s season to date then for the Gators to beat us with the worst team they’ve fielded in a decade?
Oh, the horror.

Coaches can’t control themselves, players can’t control themselves (both on the field – 3 personals? vs. Vandy) or off the field (UGA keeping Clarke Co. law enforcement in business), and Richt is at the helm.
Is the University of Georgia football program in business to raise thugs or student athletes? Anyone asked recently whether or not the University has the athletes’ best interests in mind? UGA (the dawg) gets better treatment and care that the Dawgs. Yesterday’s fiasco was eerily similar to Holtz’s last USC/Clemson game which led to lispy-Lou’s ousting. Let me put it this way, if you were the mom or dad of a blue-chip, would you let your son choose UGA given all of the on/off the field issues? It’s now obvious that the whole program lacks discipline and discipline comes from the coaches.
If Richt is a Christian warrior, then he should know how to and focus on keeping his house in order. He could make great strides towards this by becoming a disciplinarian. I’m not going to arm-chair Bobo’s or Grantham’s play calling – that’s another rant alltogether. But is obvious now, more than ever, that most of UGA’s players and coaches lack individual discipline. As a result, there is no team discipline.
As for Grantham, I admire a coach for protecting his players, but to incite a near riot and to have law enforecment separate and quell emotions while doing so is a reckless act of endangerment. If Richt lets this one go, then UGA should reciprocate by letting Richt go.
Saban is overrated.
October 16th, 2011
9:53 am
Sticks and stones. Now we can see where the lack of discipline comes from. Did the coach fear any reprisal from Richt. No. So he thought he could say whatever and it looks like a bunch of F words if I am lip reading correctly.

response to BOSAYS:The teams Dawgs have beat the last five weeks are 1-13 since then. We have not beat a ranked team since sometime in the 2009 season and looks like AU will be our only shot this year, as Tech loses a time or two more before we get them.
I’m not a coach but watch a lot of football and get to compare where we are vs. were others are. 5 wins in a row is nice, but this team could not beat say Clemson…or AU and Florida is better than Vandy on a bad day. I’m still worried. If McGarity is happy, I’m more worried.

Everybody listen up. It is obvious most of the people here have never played a down. Why take a knee? Players are taught to take a knee to avoid any risk of a fumble. Percentage wise, it is the right call. The LAST thing to do at that moment would be to attempt a FG. You have the lead, dont risk a blocked FG. Again, this is the highest percentage. BUTTTT, sometimes you dont run out the clock, and allow them to block a punt. Not sure how we could have possibly blown such as obvious assignment…

4. WAS IT NOT OBVIOUS THAT THEY WERE SMARTER AND MORE CREATIVE?
5. Our prep all American running backs can’t gain over 55 yards on the ground….their 3rd team all state guy get a hundred on one off the “top defenses in the country” ??????

I was embarrassed on how thug like the uga players looked…………….I saw at least 4 players that should have been ejected because of thrown punches…………doesn’t matter if vandy played dirty or not….

Vandy is better than you think and UGA isn’t as bad as you think. Mark Richt needs to be released at the end of the year and a fair payout over say 5-7 years would be great for the program. If he stays this year without a new extended contract then the trash recruiting schools like auburn (the ghetto twins trupa and lupa) will steal your recruits. The AD and the money folks have to make the call and it’s an expensive call like Bama had with Shula (still paying him 500k per year) but if you wish to fix the problem them Richt has to go.

We have to face facts folks. UGA is at best a good team (and that’s being really kind). We are sucker’s for trick plays, can’t finish drives, have a kicker who suddenly can’t make kicks that were once “almost” automatic, a QB that can’t make throws, a line that can’t block, and coaches (see Grantham) who makes choking gestures to Fla players and then seems to want to get into altercations with opposing head coaches. You would think that after giving away a game to SC on a fake punt, and other trick plays that have been used against us we would learn. This and the fact that we commit dumb mistakes with penalties (good god how many did we have last night), we are not ready to be a program that can consistantly trot out a product that we can be proud of. My guess is that even with a week off, Fla may “get well” and cure all it’s ill’s against us. Who better than us for them to do it. After all we have allowed them to do it for years, so why should this year be any different? Situations such as the incident last night at the end of the game, makes us look totally classless. I have said it before, I hope this the dreaded “sophmore jinx” situation with Murray, if not then we have issues. We probably won’t know that until next year. I for one will be scared to death with every game we have left to play. Kentucky is dreadful, but may be made to look like a LSU or Bama when we play them. We made Vandy resemble them, and they are barely one rung above the Cats.
There was one bright spot on Saturday though. Tech lost. How ’bout them Cavs……

Best scenario for these Dogs and CMR is to hope South Carolina does not lose another SEC game.If UGA should be lucky enough to win the rest of their games ,they should get in a new years day game. If they play in SEC championship and get blown out ,hello Music City Bowl.This is just a fantasy scenario for CMR to keep his job. In the stark reality this group of dogs will lose to Florida and Auburn and be lucky to go back to a Liberty or Weed Eater Bowl. For a team with high rated recruiting classes they have the most out of shape and lazy offensive line.
And what kind of imaginative play calling was made on UGA’s final offensive drive , run the same lame play three times in a row and lose yardage on every play.They were just plain lucky that Vandy did not run that blocked punt back for a touchdown.Does anyone really believe that the dogs would have won any of the three games that Florida just lost. Bama ,LSU ,and Auburn would run these dogs off the field.Reality has set in UGA has dropped into the irrelevant middle of the pack in the SEC and nationally . I guess it will be enough to just be ranked in the top 25 again.

First two games for CMR caused the carpenters to start their work and framing wood to be dragged out to the gallows area. UGA was able to play 4 or 5 SEC no bodies and win, although last night was very, very ugly.
We do not need the ugly distraction that the post game melee will bring on for UGA this week and into the Florida game. We do not need that but now, we are knee deep into it. THE ALUMNI and the UGA ATHETIC BOARD will not appreciate last night at all. UGA man and I was disgusted by the entire game.
CMR future is dependnt on running the table from last night on out to GT and The Dome. No Dome …………… then no future for CMR. I DO LIKE CTG though but he does get too wild eyed at tthe most in opportune time.
UGA must be fresh and ready to battle Florida. They want to destroy UGA every year. I hope that UGA is up for the task, or CMR will be toast. Last night did not help him, especially if we stumble into a 7-5 or 8-4 kind of Shreveport Bowl end. He will be done for.
It is what it is. UGA does not have depth on the O line. Recruiting. Injuries? EVERY TEAM has them. UGA does not have two or three top QUALITY running backs. UGA does not have what it takes to be really dominant in the SEC from coaching all the way to the players. THIS is CMR’s legacy I am afraid.

And that the players and Coaches for Georgia were begging the Refs to watch all of this all night to no avail AND that Vandy’s Coach came across the field Ranting and going after one of our players (right after Rambo was just cheap shotted to end the game)
THE PLAYERS and COACHES MUST PROTECT themselves

With fans like Dawgnation who needs enemies?
Whining UGA fans need to get over themselves or switch to Bama/LSU or whoever is the hot BCS team of the year. Why not jump on the Auburn or Florida bandwagons this year? Oh yeah, they aren’t great anymore.
Quit whining and crying about why UGA can’t be like [insert BCS contender here] because we are what we are…Does that mean we shouldn’t strive to be a better program? No, but it does mean stop with the ***** envy. UGA won last night while Florida and Tech lost. That used to be the formula for a great weekend in Dawgnation.
The angry UGA fan and Bobo sucks cards have been played already. We all get it. Nothing new here. But what is new is that UGA is now winning games that the team would have lost last year. That is improvement. Now if UGA loses to Florida, I say someone (Richt, Bobo, Grantham or all) has to take the fall. It’s hard to be mad at Grantham this season because despite the points on the scoreboard, offense and special teams have given up as much as the defense on the season. The defense is doing it’s job.
Richt and Bobo need to start coaching like some of the other successful coaches who play the players who give the team the best chance to win no matter what…that means send a message to Murray that while career stats are nice and all, INTs and fumbles kill. We don’t need Favre Jr running around out there for 2 more years. Time to grow up and make better decisions.

Thank God in two more weeks this coaching staff will be shown the door. They might not get fired after Florida runs all over this mediocre team, but if McGarity doesn’t decide after Florida and it’s rookie head coach embarrasses Richt for the 9th time, then God help us all. That was the worst performance by a UGA team since the bowl game last year. To allow Vandy to rush for 200 yards, and to score 28 points is a disgrace. This team has had to struggle to beat 5 terrible teams, none which will win 6 games this year. So once again, Richt and his wonderfully prepared team has to sweat out another win against a losing program. UGA fans should be proud of their coach and his brilliant coaching staff. Oh, i forgot about the special teams play. 3 missed field goals, that is an even bigger laugh, that UGA had to settle for 6 field goals against Vandy for christ sake. A kickoff returned for a t.d, another fake punt, which makes 3 now if 5 games. Totally unacceptable by any head coach in the SEC, but the good guy Richt will make up his usual excuses. Bottomline, this guy can’t coach period. He hires assistants that can’t coach, and he promotes assistants that aren’t qualified to do their jobs. What you get is the pathetic product that Richt puts on the field game after game. You also have the worst game plans designed by these morons. Bobo should have been fired 3 years ago, hell he should have never been promoted to O.C, that is when this ship started to sink, and it want stop until it has totally hit the bottom of the ocean.For Bobo and UGA to have to settle for 6 field goal attempts against Vandy, is unacceptable, and any head coach worth his weight, would make changes immediately. But no worry UGA fans, you will get to see the same pathetic performance again in Jax. when Florida stuffs UGA, and Richt gets outcoached again by a rookie head coach in the SEC. My God the guy has been in the SEC for 11 years, and he is getting his ass handed to him by 2 rookie head coaches. McGarity is a joke if he allows this B.S. to continue. Hopefully he will be forced to make a change after Jax. because, there is no way this terribly coached team will beat Auburn or Tech either.

@chase “Most of you people are Morons”.
Your post just proves how far the dogs have fallen ,getting out played physically by Vanderbilt ,VANDERBILT my God . Crying to the officials and begging for calls.what a bunch of candy assed cry babies. Stop crying and fight back ,this team and especially the head coach needs to grow a pair and take care of business on the field. Line up and run the damn ball down their throats,we are talking about Vanderbilt not Bama or LSU . I am tired of defending this bunch of whining ,pampered ,so-called 5-star athletes . Line these sissies up at practice Monday and run Oklahoma drills until you can find 22 football players who want to play and run the rest of them off the team.

Auburn did not beat FL as much as FL gave the game away to Auburn. Don’t let the fact that FL got beat 17-6 last night and has lost three in a row mean that they can’t beat GA, esp. if Brantly is well enough to play. It will be interesting to see what UGA fans have to say if Richt loses to FL this year. Furthermore I wonder what McGarity will be thinking if Richt loses again this year?

Eric, you obviously have not resided in Georgia long enough to know the party line:
1. Everybody plays dirty against UGA and gets by with it (first Florida, then Auburn, now Vandy)
2. The SEC officials make calls on UGA they don’t on the opposition. The entire SEC officiating crew is biased against UGA.
3. The only reason that UGA players get arrested more than those of their competitor schools is because the Athens Police Department is out to get UGA and the coaches at the other schools have the Police Departments in their back pocket.
That should catch you up.

To those of you defending grantham…are you kidding me?
The guy lost his cool, plain and simple, and visciously began cussing out the Vanderbilt coach. Regardless of what the vandy coach said or didnt say, that’s simply unacceptable behavior and if you watch the video that is very clear.
Yes, he is protecting your players. But all coaches do that. On the other hand, very few coaches do this and the ones that do are often not coaches for long.
This is repeated behavior for Grantham. If yelling at and signaling at a 20 year old kid to choke with the game on the line was not enough, I doubt this would be enough to actually get him fired. But in my opinion, it should.
Both incidents were caught on camera too – so I wonder how many of these “grantham moments” have happened with no camera watching? just a thought…

Some observations:
We need to “lose” some “diehard fans”. WE WON GUYS!
5-2 looks a whole lot better than 2-4.
Grantham should be commended for not actually punching that toad in the mouth. CMR and Bobo should take note.
IC appeared to be a bit stove up.
Richard Samuel is a DGD. He can’t run east/west on a bum ankle. What happened to Carlton Thomas?
Aaron Murray is a good QB. He could be a great QB if he had an OL.
We need a special teams coach. We are not special.
Georgia looked like a tired and nicked up football team. It’s good to have the bye week now.
We will continue to endeavor to persevere.
If you are scared to play Bama or LSU in December, you are not a true fan and have never strapped it up. We will continue to endeavor to persevere.

this guy,
So why aren’t you bashing on the Vandy coach if this behavior is so unacceptable? Why is it ok for coaches to rip on their 18-23 year old players every week in every stadium but it’s not ok for 2 seasoned grown men to mouth off at each other? Moral high horses and bias define opinion.
FWIW, I do not like what Grantham did against Florida last year but I’m still in the dark about what happened last night. My first reaction was that I didn’t like how he was behaving but if it turns out that the Vandy coach was running his mouth about a player then I can’t blame Grantham. Defending a “kid” does typically produce a greater emotional response than a battle of equals.

I would be willing to bet that those defending Grantham are ‘fans’ rather than alumni.

But like all the big southern football schools, UGA has a lot more fans than alumni. Any alumnus was embarrassed by that classless act.

Why are you guys fixated on South Carolina losing their quarterback and running back? It’s too late for any of that to help Georgia – they’ve already whipped us. Who cares how many games they lose now? It only makes our loss to them look that much more pathetic.
Besides, Florida will win the East Division. They’re done with their losses to the West Division now, and they won’t likely lose another SEC game. If you think squeaking past Vandy was tough, just wait until we have to face Auburn and Florida. The only question in those games will be how high our opponents choose to run the score up on us and how many of our guys will be ejected from the games for unsportsmanlike conduct.

We got a win………….and that is the bottom line. But…..we really did stink it up pretty bad!
If it continues the Dogs will need to make some changes somewhere. The question is – where? Players, coaches?? Every week we find a different scenario. There is usually some really good things – like Murray hitting long bombs to different receivers who are stepping up; some secondary players improving their tackling. Then we find a lot to legitimately complain about….like stupid penalties, (vs.Vandy) defense falling apart special teams breakdowns, defensive backs falling asleep etc, etc. We still can not find any reasonable consistency as a team. I think Crowell is a good back, but even considering the age difference, he definitely is not in the class with Trent Richardson, Marcus Lattimore or many other “elite” backs in the country. The media and perhaps coaches have made him into a star too quickly, mostly against average or less opponents. He is “pretty darn good” for a freshman, but not “great.” He still has not proven real toughness, blocking proficiency, or necessary conditioning for a running back. 3-4 runs and he wants out. Now….what gives vs. Vandy?? Is Crowell semi hurt? Is he now a discipline problem? Too many questions continue about this team as a whole and certain individuals. Let’s pray that Murray stays healthy. He is a worrier and a competitor. Occasional overthrows or not, he is our most valuable player.
I like Grantham having some fire. We do need that. But it did seem like he was out of ontrol after the game. Hope we can get things back in sink and contine to win. The schedule should help us this season. Wish we could get the #2 QB a few plays and experience every game.

Well, a few years back, the media was writing that Georgia’s coaching staff had no ‘fire’, no one to show the old Van Gorder rage at something not done well. We’ve got him, and the media writes that he
‘goes nuts’. As always, you can’t have it both ways. I’ll take this defense over that of Coach Martinez every day of the week. I also like that Grantham took up for his players when the Vandy coach was yelling at Shawn Williams. True, Williams got called for two personal fouls, a sure sign of a lack of discipline and plain old ‘football smarts’, but it’s Georgia’s coaches job to get on him, and I like that Grantham took up for his player in the face of the opposing coach. Believe me, the kid’ll run at 530 a.m. this week to make up for it and hopefully he’ll learn.

OK. You don’t play your #2 qb in a close game ‘just to get him some plays’. If he’s good enough to play, he will. The whole DJ and Greene thing a few years ago was done to keep DJ from leaving. If Mason wants to leave, he will. If he’s good enough to play, he will.
We need a D coach with fire. You ever watch Muschamp on the sidelines? Or Saban? If an opposing coach took it upon themselves to challenge one of the above mentioned coaches, or scold them, as Franklin did to Williams, don’t think for a second that Muschamp or Saban wouldn’t react the same way as Grantham did.

Gotta agree with those who say Tech fans should have NOTHING to say about Grantham when their own head coach talks to his own players like dirt virtually every game. I don’t remember which bowl game it was, but one of the GT offensive lineman jumped offsides and the microphone was on Paul Johnson and he proceeded to call his own player an idiot several times intermixed with curses on national TV, way to go moron. If I was a Tech fan I still wouldn’t like a coach that did that. As an ex offensive lineman, we usually only hear about it when the one time we do something wrong, I get that, but GT’s jerk coach way crosses the line…

In order for that to happen they will have to beat both UGA and SC and both of these teams will have to lose another game as well.

Have you ever played organized sports, or have you always been the guy in glasses on the sideline? You have no idea of what the inner dynamics or psyche of a team entails. Your bird’s-eye view just doesn’t cut it.
I can GUARANTEE you that this team is fine. Grantham was upset at how vandy’s players conducted themselves on the field and threw cheap shots (chop-blocks, clipping, even a player stomping on another player’s leg) throughout the game. Players react to coaches defending them and seeing them as more than just a #. Your received quote from grantham says it all.
“I love my players! i support my players!”
his exchange w/ franklin was him defending his players. supporting them!
how has ok state done since gundy went off on that reporter in ok city? players react to that kind of stuff, while reporters like you just don’t get it.
hope this article was written under a required deadline…..cause there’s no investigative journalism any where in it. merely ignorant observations from someone who was probably too busy paying attn to eating cheesy nachos and ketchup-pasted hot dogs throughout the entire game.

I have never heard such lame Bulldogs fans. We may not be playing as good as some people would like, but we are winning. Its also not Georgia’s fault that the teams they are playing arent so good. For that matter the almighty Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers are playing the same mediocre teams barring a couple. I know it seems aggravating but it all comes down to this all the people who post on this blog dont play college football nor do they coach it. So as a real Bulldog fan I am thankful that we are winning pretty or not. As for the reminder of the 2007 season, if we all can seem to remember we lost 2 early on and by the end of the season we were unbeatable. So either be a real fan and try to be positive or shut up and go be a Florida fan. One last note everyone is complaining about how the defensive coordinator acted, but I for one am glad. The same people that are complaining about it also complain when CMR doesnt lash out more. What a bunch of fickled fans.

Where did all this kool-aid comments come from? That seems to be all everyone can say if you support the staff and their efforts to improve. Is that the new vogue saying? Trust me when I say this: If they should win 10 or even 9 games this season, Richt will be back and you guys can keep up with this kool-aid nonsense. It’s a stupid saying and most people are only saying it because it seems to be a catchy phrase. Your rantings and ravings will not factor into whether the staff is fired or not. If you are on these blogs commenting about whether someone is fired or not, then chances are you are not in a position to make or contribute to that decision. If you were, you wouldn’t have to blog about it while hoping that you have to build up enough support for that decision. Keep on saying kool-aid and see how far it goes. I’m sure it makes you feel better. An ugly win is an ugly win and a close loss is still a loss. They have had ugly wins this year. Last year they were close losses. Some of you will come back and say that we haven’t beat anyone that matters and we should have beat them. Well last year we lost those games that we should have won. The record shows 5-2. There’s no astericks that show that they were close losses. If they should happen to win out and make it to the SECG and by some MIRACLE win, then they will be in a BCS bowl regardless of what the media says or what the pollsters think. Automatic bid for the SEC champions. The kool-aid ain’t so bad right now. It tasted a whole lot worse this time last year.

It’s nice to actually see a UGA coach with some fire, some passion and some cajones. CMR would do well to take note. I’m sure if one of our players had gotten seriously hurt by Vandy’s chop blocks, CMR would run across the field shake the offender’s hand and told him he loved him. That said – Grantham’s defense last night looked as weak and feeble as we ever have. No excuse for being out-muscled by vandy, but then we’re out muscled by just about everybody.

Mike Gundy basically gets in the face of a hapless female reporter over a stupid newspaper article and he’s a hero because he’s “protecting his players.” Grantham gets in the face of a grown azz man to protect his players from chop blocking that could end their careers and he’s classless.

Again……how did LSU and Bama get so good…..and Arkansas get better…….and the entire rest of the SEC get so bad?
You can throw South Carolina, Auburn, and Georgia into a bag and pull one out with a win against the other on any given week.
You can throw Florida into a bag and they might beat Georgia, South Carolina, and Auburn if their punt returners decide they want to learn how to catch punts.
You can throw Ole Miss, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Vandy into a bag and any team in the SEC will beat them on any given Saturday.
The SEC….other than 3 teams…..isn’t very good this year.

I just watched Muschamp on his TV show this morning. He looked like he had just stopped cursing one thousand times at a ref in the shower.
His coaching and behavior on the sidelines is losing him Gator Nation friends. He needs to stop the sideline antics and go do some serious coaching in practice and on the sidelines.
Muschamp also sounded like Brantley is not looking good to play against Georgia.

Georgia is better than Florida this year….no doubt. But that isn’t saying much. Georgia will win out and go to Atlanta. But the short trip to The Dome will not have a pleasant outcome for Dawg fans…..and the “Fire Richt, Bobo, and Grantham” chants will be heared underneath the roar of either the LSU or Bama fans.

And…yes….winning the SEC East will provide Richt, Bobo, and Grantham (maybe) another year in Athens.

This is coming from an Alabama fan… I went to the game last night and some of the Georgia players were out of control. I saw at least 3 punches thrown by Georgia players and during the game # 35 or 36 was mouthing off to Coach Franklin and had a few hand gestures aimed at Franklin. TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT AND DISCPLINE. If I was a Georgia alum or fan I would be totally embarrassed about YOUR program. Hopefully Bama can meet them in the SEC championship game and put them in their place; however, seeing the lack of discipline I doubt Georgia will make it anytime soon. RTR!

Good point, 1eyed. I was thinking President Adams will find out exactly what was said. I was already an adult when Woody Hayes, one of the greatest football coaches of all time, was fired for slugging a player on the sidelines. He was fired by the University President, not the AD.
Incidents like that go beyond athletics and can have negative consequences for the entire University. Adams is turning UGA into one of the finest academic institutions is the country. He is not going to let some football coach hinder that.

Richt needs to get control of his players rather than wishing there could be handshakes at the end of the game. It was obvious that Williams and his thugs were out to intimidate Vandy using verbal and taunting tactics. Very arrogate bunch. No respect for their opposition. Taunting Franklin who was trying to keep order on field was the final straw. That kid should have been thrown out of the ballgame. Just a bunch of thugs and Richt was their leader. He’ll be fired at the end of the year. Bank on it.

Biased reporting. He zooms in on Grantham to intentionally make him look like the bad guy. People all around him were fired up too. To illustrate my point, if you were to video tape just one side of any argument, they would look crazy. If you want to approach the scenario objectively, we need a video that doesn’t zoom in on just one guy’s face. Grantham’s reactions were more mature than the intentions of this article to bash him.

What people aren’t mentioning is that Franklin was yelling at our players first. Grantham stepped in to defend them. Yes, he has a temper, but nobody can speak for what Franklin could have been saying.
And one more point: how much differently would this conversation be if the camera angle were different? Had Grantham’s back been to the camera, and we could see Franklin yelling, people would talk about how crazy Franklin is. Instead, we just see the back of Franklin’s head, which makes him appear to be calm.

TampaGator, appreciate your honesty. I have noticed Muschamp’s sideline behavior both at the Tenn. Game and yesterday and found it very disappointing. Not only the tone of his comments but how foulmoithes he is. I’m sure it is a great disappointment after Urban Meyer. Unfortunately, Muschamp looks like a petulant child. I guess I understand getting excited occasionally, but really not every play. At some point, the players will just tune him out if he doesn’t moderate his criticism. I know CPJ doesn’t use the best language but he doesn’t stalk the sidelines looking like a raving lunatic.
A brief shoutout to CMR, from his comments he appeared very embarrassed about the end of the game and was willing to call out his players and coaches. He represents UGA well.

Jeff – Actually on the Geathers’s personal foul call the officials called clipping on Vandy. Unfortunately that’s not “off-setting.” That’s why Vandy was given a first down. Had they been truly “off-setting” penalties, i.e., both players called for personal fouls, Vandy would not have gotten a first down. In my book, that’s a big difference. It should at least be enough of a difference that a sports columnist reporting on the game to get it right.

I think every coach should have the fire of a Todd Grantham;however expressing it after the game like he did is not the appropriate method.It looks from the video as if Coach Franklin may have provoked some of it(he said he sought out a UGA assistant coach when he couldn’t find coach Richt) but CTG should have let it go. CMR is still the head coach not only in name but in responsibility.CTG’s “in your face” with the Vandy player Monahan crossed the line. I am embarrased as a UGA fan that all this happened.I’m awaiting the latest on this situation.CTG may have to go !!!

Grantham did no wrong. I’ve watched the replay at least ten times. The Vandy coach broke protocol by airing his grievances with someone other than the UGA head coach. Grantham turns his back and walks away at least three times and the VANDY coach pursues him and keeps calling him out. Grantham did NOTHING wrong. The one thing I REALLY LIKE about this clip is that if you watch it carefully, you see the Georgia players putting their helmets BACK ON!!!! I love it!!!! Sorry, but Grantham did no wrong here. I hope that the SEC penalizes the Vandy head coach for his actions because he was clearly in the wrong.

Grantham obviously has problems. He is foaming from the mouth and out of control. This is no different than the choke sign he gave a 19 year old kicker and embarrassed Georgia in a loss that was embarrassing to begin with.
Have you seen Saban do that? How about Chizik? How about Miles? How about Stoops? Mack?
Nobody acts like that without problems. He can’t control his anger and he didn’t let it go, he kept going.
The SEC should suspend him for at least one game. There should not be a three strikes your out policy. They need to remind UGA that the SEC and the NCAA has standards and Grantham is the only coach I know of out of 119 teams. He’s making the SEC look bad not only in how his team plays but how he acts win or lose.

No matter what Grantham said I back up Grantham 100% if I am Richt and discuss with Grantham if he could have handled it better but behind closed doors. END OF STORY.
The only thing that Grantham needs to wonder is why did our defense dominate in the first half and fall apart in the second half. I hope it was because of lack of depth which will not be the case against Florida. Everybody should be back and ready.

What Dawg fans need to be talking about is why was our offense as bad as it was. We had to attempt 6 field goals and missed two of them.WHY? Georgia needs a great offensive coordinator badly. And even if Murray can run up stats. to make his numbers look good he has a real problem in scoring touchdowns and it’s not because the line doesn’t block. It’s because Bobo doesn’t have the offense ready ,call good play’s and Murray holds onto the ball way too long before doing something with it. An example was on the 3rd down play that was 3rd and 5 Murray missed King in the end zone and we had to settle for field goal. On that play Bennett did a slant over the middle was wide open and I think could have easily made the first down but Murray was fixated on only King and the home run. Murray get’s too much credit and not enough criticism for the lack of production from the offense. The defense looked great for the first half and I’m sure Grantham will handle it after watch film but the offense is not getting the job done , by a long shot.

Great representation of what UGA football has come to. Grantham looks like a neanderthal and we actually have to stand at mid-field with the likes of Vandy. There was a time this would have been against a quality opponent but we have slipped greatly over the past four seasons. Savior this year is the relatively soft schedule. Guess we have that to be thankful for. Sadly, we will win probably every game we have left and will reward Richt with a large extension that will lead to years of more inept play.

Once again it is confirmed on this blog that Dawg fans are hopeless. We are 5-2 and in the hunt for the east with a team that is young and for the most part inexperienced. Reading what a lot of you terds write on here you would thgink we are 2-5 and lost last night. As for Grantham, we need his attitude towrds this team and his fire in the belly because Richt does not coach that way. Who better then the defense coordinator to be this way? Some of you so called fans are a joke and make our fan base look like a bigger joke then you.
GO DAWGS!!!

Does Georgia even have a Special Teams coach? T paraphrase Munson: “My god, two fake punt plays, another TD allowed on a kickoff and a blocked punt!”
When Vanderbvilt lined up for the fake punt play why didn’t Georgia call time out?
Do we have a middle linebacker that can stop runs up the middle?
From 23-7 to 33-28 and holding on for dear life?
Florida sucks, but Richt will find a way to lose to them again. He is always– one loss from being fired.

I agree completely. The fact that the camera is on Grantham’s face and not showing the entire context is designed to cause fuss and not report objectively. I used to believe AJC to be non-biased, but I’ve been proven wrong. This is just a ploy used to create page hits. It worked, with almost 20 pages worth of comments. However, it was at the expense of Georgia coaches’ reputations. This is what bothers me. There are people who will find any way to turn a positive into a negative no matter what reputations they’re likely to tarnish.

I solved the Grantham riddle. Vandy’s coach was being escorted by a security guard, not a State Trooper. He was obviously admonishing him for his wimpy little Barney Fiff wingman.

This was the game that made up McGarity’s mind…we can do a lot better. Is there a worse RB in Div 1 than Samuel 4? Is there a worse special teams coach than ours? Is there a less disciplined team anywhere? So long Richt, we hardley knew you, but paid you extremely well.

Coach Grantham seems to be the “only coach on the UGA staff” who gives a damned about winning.
He deserves credit…and a hefty raise. $100 per cuss word would be a good start….The other coaches need to get with it …..start cussing….and either be fined or fired if they don’t spew enough cuss words on the field. UGA players would soon catch on to what it takes to be a great team…under Grantham’s leadership…..Under Mark Richt they have learned to be “polite losers”….Let’s have none of that nonsense anymore….It’s better to cuss like a sailor and have 12 wins than to be ‘all pleasant and polite losers’….UGA needs Grantham’s fire more than it need Mark Richt’s…”calm…losing…disposition….

I say good for Coach Grantham as he at least shows some fire in the belly. Yes this was not a step forward but a step backwards, Murray seems to lose focus way too much and easily and makes terrible throws to wide open receivers. I am beginning to believe Bobo is not a very good QB coach either as this seems to happen game after game. At least last year Murray had a few games where he showed he could compete at this level. QBs are supposed to progress and get better with experience which does not seem to be happening with Murray.

Uh, next scandle, I mean scandal to be swept under the rug, Which was the first? Are you referring to the one that the NCAA spent a fortune on while ignoring OSU and Miami? The one they just this past week said – nothing there, everyone go home. I mean the one where UGA sore loser fans promised would result in major violations and the “jeniuses” among you even screamed death penalty?
The investigation where the NCAA said it reviewed a number of allegations including but not limited to Newton and the HBO Four? The one that had 80 interviews and came up with nothing? The investigation that the NCAA ended and then smaked around Thayer Evans and those who live on comment sections of dying newspapers: “any allegations of major rules violations must meet a burden of proof, which is a higher standard than rampant public speculation online and in the media.”.
I think UGA fans need to do two things- acknowledge Auburn beat them badly on the field and UGA fans had no idea about what they were talking about off the field.

After reviewing the video from the Vandy game it is absolutely apparent that UGA is a thug team led by an altar boy who doesn’t want to do this anymore and a child serving as his defensive coordinator.
UGA is the dirtiest team in the SEC.

Mark Richt’s guarded comments the day he finally settled on Todd Grantham after being turned down 3 times before on his 1st three choices for DC, and these comments today about Todd Grantham by Mark Richt make it clear that (1) Todd Grantham was forced on Mark Richt against his wishes or (2) Mark Richt is going to fire Todd Grantham.
1 face is certain :
Mark Richt is NO Todd Grantham.
“I hate the fact that at the end of the game we can’t shake hands and get off the field like gentlemen,” Richt said. Later he added: “We are grown men and we all need to act that way.”

“You know it really doesn’t matter what all the naysayers say about how ugly the win was.”
The Naysayers ? There is NOT 1 REPORT of the game that says that the game was not UGLY, sloppy, poorly-coached, bad special teams, and a horrid game by us. And, you run in here saying it is the Naysayers saying all that ? Not hardly; it is EVERYONE SAYING THAT. You blind support of Mark Richt and his “coaching staff” is sickening. Vandie ? Vandie ?

“Its also not Georgia’s fault that the teams they are playing arent so good. One last note everyone is complaining about how the defensive coordinator acted, but I for one am glad. The same people that are complaining about it also complain when CMR doesnt lash out more.”
__________________
You obviously missed it that Mark Richt has LASHED OUT in PUBLIC about Todd Grantham at the end of the game. You are going against Mark Richt to say that YOU LIKED IT; Mark Richt 100 percent did NOT like it when Todd Grantham defended # 36 Shawn Williams. In fact, Mark Richt also complained about our players’ play and how the players do not go back to the huddle or to the sidelines, but sit there jawing. What you are is 1 of those fans who dreams up EXCUSES about 1-13 teams vs SEC that is all Mark Richt has played all season long in The SEC. You are NOT on the SAME PAGE as CMR on Todd Grantham. You feel you can say whatever you want to say, but heaven forbid anyone else says what they feel. YOU are CRITICIZING Mark Richt

“Where did all this kool-aid comments come from?”
“a close loss is still a loss.”
“If they should happen to win out and make it to the SECG and by some MIRACLE win, then they will be in a BCS bowl regardless of what the media says or what the pollsters think. Automatic bid for the SEC champions. The kool-aid ain’t so bad right now.”
Where do the Kool-Aid comments come from ? I’d say this post where you ask that very question yourself MarineDog, qualifies win SEC Championship Game, go to BCS Bowl – and, are you sure you don’t want to throw in for good measure NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2011 for UGA ?
Where do these Kool-Aid comments come from MarineDog asks. Er, uh, from posts like this one from YOU when we will not have played a single team all 2011 who has beat ANYONE.
