Glad we won 5 in a row, but if anyone has any misgivings that this is a good team, you are fooling yourself. The cumulative SEC record of the SEC teams we have beaten is something like 1-13. Our record is a product of the schedule more so than improving. Yeah, we are a little better, but we are not a great team. Plus, we have to beat Florida and we all know how good we are at that.

I am happy to be winning, but I expect we’ll lose at least one more time if not more. Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but that is just what I have come to expect from this team.

Well, they still get Florida in Columbia. Arky will most likely spank them in Fayetteville, Tennessee will put up a fight,but SC has more weapons. It really comes down to Florida for both SC and UGA. I doubt anybody will be calling Charlie Weis an offensive genius after being shut out of the end zone by Auburn (who gave up 38 pts. to Utah State)

Florida won’t win it, but will determine who does.

ACTUALL SC could lose ALL 3. Why do you say probably win at Tennesse in 2 weeks? With Lattimore “probably”. Without him, there is no “probably” against any SEC team. Tennessee is at LEAST even up with SC at this point and Tenn be at home. Stop the run and make em pass is not too hard to do now, or stop the pass and make em run. That is definitely a winnable game for Tenn. Florida tougher than Tenn at home? Florida CANT SCORE, Tenn can and SC will be at home against Florida. Sc will not be doing much scoring against anyone. No wonder when the games have gotten tougher, somebody is not so well on their picks with this kind of thinking……

If Brantley makes it back, Florida will be a tough game for UGA no doubt but UGA will be pumped up and play a great game. UGA has favor this year so expect a win against Florida thanks to the wake-up call they just got against Vandy. It came at the BEST time possible and I, for one, am extremely glad UGA beat Vandy but got the scare! Because they did not play a good game defensively. Also 2 weeks to prepare is going to make a huge difference as will having Mitchell, Crowell and Ogletree in the lineup full speed. Go Dawgs!

Yeah but its depth at linebacker which is great not so much the individual impact so I agree with you. But Crowell will be ready to run like crazy after basically having 3 weeks off. he will be mostly healed and STRONG with the time off and the easy night at Vandy. Crowell does have to grow up, but anybody who knows anything about him, knew that when he was still in High School. He certainly will under Richt if he wants to. Lets hope he wants to! I do think Crowell will have a huge day against Florida. The guys need to stay out of trouble these next 2 weeks and think abotu nothing but putting it on the Gators! Go Dawgs!

When the haze clears up, you will understand that ALL college football teams are “young”, that they ALL suffer from injuries to their players and that not every recruit pans out.

Georgia doesn’t have a great defense. Georgia has been playing some real cream-puffs. Vandy lit your defense up, and Vandy hadn’t even scored a point or gained any yardage lately – until they played against your “great” defense last night – with their backup quarterback.

Georgia won’t even sniff a title game. You need to go ahead and disabuse yourself of that little fantasy, before you get your feelings hurt… again.

Here’s a fact that you can put in your pipe and smoke. Mark Richt has lost 8 times out of 10 to the Florida Gators. If that trend doesn’t change and quick, no amount of whining about young players, injuries, or scrambling to win 5 in a row against the Sisters of the Poor will save his job for him.

I watched the video of the game and here is my take:
1. Shawn Williams took a cheap shot at a Vandy receiver in the first quarter.
2. Vandy LB Sharpe took a cheap shot at Xander Ogletree on a kick return, then punched him in the face and Shawn Williams actually came over to break it up and Sharpe punched him in the face. Shawn Williams got flagged.
3. Vandy Center got called for clipping, but it should have been a personal foul. The play was out of bounds, he was on his stomach and Kwame Geathers was on his stomach. The center obviously dove at his legs, which could have cost Geathers a serious injury and (for all we know) a career in professional football…..Geathers threw a punch and the refs knew why he did and, believing it justified, did not toss him.
4. Shawn Williams must have done something to the Vandy bench as the final play ended because he is moving away from that sideline toward his own players when Franklin comes out and is yelling and pointing at him.
5. Grantham probably overreacted, but you cannot blame him for protecting his own players…..
6. Richt pointed at Grantham and told him to get out of there when Grantham started coming back.

When I coached and the opposing coach said something to me about the way I talked to my guys or if they tried to talk to my guys I would tell them to coach their own ball club…….

to sum up, I think Franklin has talked up how Vandy is not going to be intimidated anymore and they bought it and they took some shots to make up for one by Georgia…..you cannot blame Georgia for giving it right back to Vandy……..football is a tough, physical game and those playing and coaching at this level are modern day gladiators………

You do have to be smart, though…..when you’re playing a team with a reputation of choir boys and you (except for the last two seasons) get penalized for passing gas you cannot let them draw you into losing composure.

Jeff-

Marcus Lattimore getting hurt is not something “going right” for the Dawgs. Any true fan of football would not want to limp into a title game because another team’s best player was injured. I wish the young man a full recovery; he has a big future ahead of him.

The rest of you idiots can sit and spin. That goes for the Dawg “fans” that do nothing but whine that the victories aren’t impressive enough, and all the other teams’ fans that are only here trying to rile up the red and black faithful that will fall for it.

The great news for both groups above is that the way the rest of the schedule looks, we can either a) lose a game and hear everyone say “i told you so”, or b) win out and listen to everyone complain the “Florida is down” or “Auburn is down” or whatever, so the victories don’t really count.

What a waste of time.

Well if the fans played the games the Dawgs would certainly not win the SEC East or even win any game. I’ve never seen such a negative bunch in my life.

If they are fortunate enough to win the East can the beat LSU or Ala? I don’t know. You wouldn’t think they would but if you think this Defense will take guff from anyone I think you’re mistaken.

I’ve never understood how anyone could take any pride in the UGA football team. Look at their history for the past forty years: how can anyone ignore Jan Kemp and the remedial studies scam, the Jim Harrick sleaze, the DUIs in the athletic office (not just Damon Evans), the DUIs and other arrests of players, the #1 party school label (for the most drunk students), the suspensions and outright dismissals, the Fulmer Cup, and on and on?

As disgraceful and sickening as it is, I don’t see many alumni and fans demanding an end to this sleazy activity. It sets UGA apart as the kind of school that decent people despise and it’s become an embarrassment to the whole state of Georgia.

Will it ever end? Not while Mark Richt is at UGA. Richt is the biggest hypocrite in the United States. And even with the cheating and lawlessness that he ignores, he still doesn’t win the SEC.

So you’re paying him $3+ million a year to be champions, but he can’t even win the SEC East. So why do you keep paying him millions of dollars year after year?

Just wondering.

If the Dawgs play the way they did against Vanderbilt, they can forget Florida and perhaps winning the East.

Maybe Vandy is just a little bit better than we think.

Boo Boo, are you ever going to quit playing it safe trying to run out the clock? This mess at the end wouldn’t have happened had you not been so conservative. My goodness, you have one of the best QB’s in the SEC and tall WR’s and tight ends. Why couldn’t you try at least once and get the first down you needed at the end of the game, then run out the clock? Try some clock management!

Hey, Grantham take down that bed sheet you hand over your face on the sideline and watch what’s going on! Your “D” is beginning to look mighty bad!!

To borrow from the great Samuel “If you look closely up my nostrils, you can see my brain” Jackson, UGA needs to Rise Up. A bad year for the SEC East is no reason to celebrate our mediocrity.

And it may, in fact, be a down year for the hated Gators. But two of their losses came to the current BCS #’s 1 and 2.

If the BCS ranking is worth anything, Florida would have to knock on the NFL’s door to find tougher opponents.

I forecast another grim result for the Dawgs at the cocktail party.

My worst nightmare is coming true…..With Lattimore out for season, Carolina WILL lose another SEC game. Florida is as bad as I can remember. In fact, the ENTIRE SEC East seems like an ACC division. UGA might actually pull off an East Division win, get pancaked by LSU/Alabama. The Richt apologists will say, hey, see…..Richt led us to an East title

…..and Richt stays for another decade of mediocrity
….the rest of the SEC coaches…..cheer wildly

I take it back.

With Gamec0cks running back Marcus Lattimore out for the season, and the Gators floundering on offense, the Dawgs appear to be the favorites to win the SEC Eastern Division. It all comes down to Jacksonville. If the Dawgs win, they will have earned the right to meet Alabama or LSU in the conference championship game.

Given the 5-point win over Vanderbilt, however, I still would not say the Dawgs are “prohibitive favorites,” as Chip Towers suggested on Friday.

Georgia will most likely win the East. If they have any chance of winning the SEC they need to play lsu. lsu’s defense has a lot of holes. They cant stop the outside pass or the run game off the tackles. Their offense struggles when they play a good defense. For example they only scored 19 points when they played Miss State. Georgia’s two losses were against Bosie and South Car. Who has a combined record of what? 12-1? This team is not as bad as most think. Now if Georgia plays Alabama in the SEC game, O’ nelly!! Alabama will more likely destroy lsu as will ARK. Mark my words..lsu will finish 3rd in the division with a overall 9-3 record.

As I said last week, Murray would have a good day throwing the ball. Vanderbilt while not the most talented plays smart, hard and fundamentally sound which would give anyone fits. Our game with them only 7-0 with less than a minute before halftime. 100 yards in penalties is hard for any team to overcome. What should have been we won despite ourselves has been clouded by Granthams second meltdown in less than two years. Richt should get on board with the one voice program. With that said still a solid win by a young and improving Georgia team.

The big story line from here on out with EACH GAME is whether CMR hangs on to his job. Losing to Florida with a new head coach and staff, with a former UGA Captain now coaching them will be Richt’ s Waterloo. Then, to slip up to AU and possibly GT, will put a wrap on his era. Losing two for sure and possibly ONE MORE and he will be done.

The first two games took a huge toll on the probability of his longevity at UGA. Folks, we all knew that he needed to defeat one or both SC AND Boise State and we were horrific with errors and mental lapses in BOTH GAMES.

Time will tell. This UGA edition is not necessarily about SEC East titles, as much as it is about CMR and does CMR have a future at UGA?

Time will tell.

The only way for UGA to win is for others players to go down.

Our Defense has been stepping it up each week…if we had a better offense we beat arky no doubt..but thats the past…

Ontario and Dyer are the 1-2 punch on offense…and we’ll get one of the best Wide outs in the SEC with Blake coming back.

I don’t get all the doom-and-gloom, there were never any real expectations UGA would win the East this year. Far too young and thin in key areas. They can play out a very respectable year and come back next year primed for a title run.

You can make valid arguments the Dawgs should have been better prepared to take the East this year, but didn’t we all know going in they weren’t ready yet? I mean, if SC and the Gators weren’t all beat up we’d be EXPECTING to finish no better than third. As-is, it’s there for the taking, and it should be fun to see what they can do.

UGA needs to continue to improve. They are on a five game win streak. No matter how many negative slants that reporters can put on it, they are improving.

UGA can take a major step this week against Florida. If UGA wins, Tech fans will still not like UGA, the AJC will still find negative slants and there will still be empty seats at EVERY Tech home game.

I particularly enjoy the hype every year for this game, but I have too many UGA friends to take it to an absurd level. Based on how my Gators have looked thisw past 3 weeks, it is safe to assume that the Dawgs have an edge this year. However, if Brantly returns and plays to his potential, the outcome of the game will be a toss up.
Too bad about Lattimore at SC. I bet that other teams the Gammies play will now key on Connor Shaw. It will be interesting!

Hope everyone has a safe trip to and from Jax for the game Go Gators!

It is not UGAs problem that the rotating SEC schedule some of the teams are not as strong as the experts thought they were.Miss ST for example played LSU tough for three and a half qtrs before losing.UGA was not suppose to stay on the field with them but beat them handily.Florida Tenn are going thru trying times no fault of Georgias.If Georgia makes it to Atlanta,they will show up and give LSU or Alabama all they want.Mark Richts record against both coaches have been competitive and Richt with a 3-1 mark against Saban AT LSU and Alabama.Richt has also had his way with LSU in 2008 52-38 20-17 in 2003 both on the road.Ala and Lsu are playing great and look to be a cut above major upsets happen all the time,look at Utah against Ala in the sugar bowl.Utah should have been blown off the field but matchups and coaching made up the difference.Even the 31-0 halftime game vs Alabama UGA MADE IT A RESPECTABLE 41-30 at the end.

Oh, and Trisha… you do see how UGA was able to score 42 points on the Gamecocks, right? It is the same offense that is going to be able to score on your D, and that with Freshmen and Sophomores.

Yeah, UGA had a tough game against Vandy, a team with a top 25 D in Total D and Scoring D, well, at least before our game, as they are not an awful Defense. So, say what you want about UGA and their close games against SEC opponents. Now, let me ask you about Utah State, since you want to bring up shortcomings.

Bama Mike,

3rd Melt Down in less than 2 years. He cursed an SEC head coach face-to-face and had to shoved backwards 10 feet by a campus cop for defending player # 36 who was called for and found guilty of dirty hits. He choke-signalled a University of Florida field goal kicker, who by the way, made the kick. And, he grabbed Nick Williams by the scruff of the neck in the G-Day game on National TV and flung him out-of-bounds for a dirty hit on our Starting Running Back – while both of them have since quit this gig and moved on, transferring out. That is 3 melt downs by Todd Grantham to-date; and, that if you don’t count last week grabbing Mark Richt on the sidelines and telling him not to call time-out.

I am not going this year because I know UGA will lose. Even without their starting quarterback, Fla. will win. Richt is not an SEC caliber coach. His teams have the talent but he cannot instill discipline and a dominating spirit in his players. The discipline was atrocious in the Vandy game. Please get the Boise State or Clemson coach on the line and make thgem an offer.
