Hey, Phil
The reason UGA slips every year is because there’s no real Georgians left in the state. For example, did you eat your black eyed peas and collards with fatback today? If you didn’t, welcome to another heartbreak in 2013.

What a pathetic article. Next year looks terrible for the Dawgs, with incompetent coaching continuing its pox on Athens. Millions of dollars down the drain for mediocrity.

What kind of HS talent would be dumb enough to sign up under Richt, Bobo, or Grantham? I used to have some respect for Grantham, but after today, no more.

The Dawgs really stink, and I will train myself to quit supporting them in the future. They are downright despicable. I love Athens and my alma mater, but this is just dispicable.

UGA wins and I am happy for that but the game, the defensive gaffs, penalties, and average special teams was the reason the game margin was exactly as Las Vegas predicted. We surprised no one with the win because we should and must win these games. On the other hand, I was really pleased with the play of some of the young defensive players getting quality time due to personnel loses and fatigue of starters. That has me much more confident we can fill the gaps with departures as we move forward. However, until we can be more robust in the trenches and stop the stupid pointless penalties, we will continue to make games closer than they should be and continue to drop games that keep us from the promised land. It is a question of accountability for performance and impact if you don’t bring your best. Perfection is impossible but that doesnt mean you dont try to achieve it. That is a cultural issue with our program and that is not going to change. still I am proud to be a Georgia Bulldog and will always be. Congrats to the boys for a very good season.

phil is spot on about a number of things (except his minority acceptance–make it tolerance–of the racist, JSS). The facts are not in question: Grantham is profoundly overrated, Murray is, in fact to short and I’ll bet anyone, any amount he won’t measure break six feet even at the combine (he’s, at best 5′ 11 3/4″), and MUrray has very poor instincts as a QB as his horrific, untimely, and idiotic interceptions indicate. And, as much as I admire and respect Coach Richt as a man, I think his teams could use a little more tough love when it comes to stuipd penalties that kill their own drives or extend their competition’s.

And I am a dawg fan that simply wants to be challenging for national titles every season like Spurrior, Meyer and Saban accomplished, not threaten to challenge every 4 or 5 years.

Lets get reallistic for a moment and stop viewing the college football world through Bulldawg colored glasses.

We will lose at least 7 starters on defense, a couple of key backups and will be really young in 2013.
Our Defense will have to learn how to play, they will have to find a couple of players who know how to make plays( which at times this year we did not have that player), and we will have to find out how many of these young guys have what it takes to play in big games for the first 6 of 8 weeks.

Aaron Murry should go to the NFL, his chances of getting injured grow each time he takes a snap at the college level and as proven today our offensive line has tendencies of giving up some horrendous sacks. Mason is good but unlike many of you I do not think he is Better than Murray( just two years ago EVERYONE on these blogs were over talking about how Great LeMay was and how he would beat Murray out) and take the job only to take a Redshirt year.

The Offense will be fine, but when we play teams like Clemson, South Carolina, Florida, LSU we will have to find playmakers who will be able to play at a higher level.

Our Depth will continue to be a difference on both lines of scrimmage in 2013.

I take the Munson approach and see things how they really are, not they way I want them to be.

I see 8-4 , 9-3 and maybe as bad as 7-5 in 2013.

It is just hard to get past the point of losing 8 to 13 players who played a great deal on defense, losing our quarterback, a much tougher schedule with practically every team in the division getting better( Vandy, Missouri, Tennessee, Florida, USC) plus add to it LSU and see us getting back to the SECCG. If we do then Mark Richt will have done his best coaching job during his tenure, if we fall back then the distractors will be out in force.

I can think of only one or two teams who could lose that many players on defense, and their quarterback who came back better the next year and they won the BCS Championship( Alabama) but we do not have Saban on our sidelines running the program and keeping our players too scared to screw up during the offseason.

Congrats CMR, staff, and Team. Could we have played better, Yes. Just win Baby! WE Did. Offense set records this year. Next year offense should and will offend our foes. Competition from recruits. Great. Best 11, both sides of ball. Our defense will have bigger and better athletes at every position. Only NG will be smaller, but maybe much better athlete. Dream Team, Ring Team, Now This Year’s Crystal Team. 35 or 36 outstanding recruits and Top Class in 2013. Coach Grantham will hire an awesome DL Coach. Coach Friend has done wonders and will be three deep with much experience. May have another stud freshman to start next year. With full squad of 85 players plus 15 outstanding walkons UGA will be fully loaded for first time in 3 years. 2014 is Dream Team’s Senior Year Look Out and Fear “The G”. 2013, 2014, 2015 and beyond is BRIGHT. Defense keeps getting bigger, faster, and nastier. True Junkyard Defenses. Our Offense keeps hanging half a hundred. Over 30 points against Championship Contenders. Georgia will be in Final Four for years to come. Go Richt’s Righteous Dawgs!

Georgia will be better on defense next season and here’s why: Nobody on the defense next year will be riddled with “NFL talent”. The players we have on defense next season will try to make a name for themselvse and play with huge chips on their shoulders.

On offense, Murray will be back and that spells doom for the rest of the league. Pair him up with Gurley and Marshall, not to mention Conley, Mitchell, Bennett, Tibbs, Scott-Wesley, BOTH Tight Ends, and the entire O-line. The offense will be scary next season. One of the best in the country…I’m talking top 5.

Y’all are missing the point re: Murray staying/going.

His desire to get a master’s degree in Psychology is great; his family ain’t broke and money isn’t a motivating factor for him. Yeah, he might stay, but his draft position won’t be the factor as much as whether or not he feels accomplishments on the field are greater than getting his master’s.

I’m only concerned about Grantham bolting for the NFL before signing day; he’s been a solid recruiter. I don’t put this year’s effort on him as much, because the situation’s unique; Shawn Williams nailed his teammates with his words earlier in the season, but with so much on the line this year, TG had no choice but to put the best players on the field, even if they were playing tenuous. Even today, it appeared the “stars” on defense were playing as tentatively as they could so as not to get hurt before the April NFL draft – save for #9 and #29.

Will you UGA fans quit whining?! You call out the people who aren’t happy with your season, then call everyone else “Tech trolls”, instead of listing facts. Good job on 12 wins, understand you went 2-2 against “real competition” the rest of your schedule was a joke, only good teams you played were us (loss) Florida (lucky to win) South Carolina (beat down) and for fairness sake ill throw in the corn holes you beat today. You could have easily lost to Tennessee and Kentucky. The guys on here who have concerns are telling it like it is. This was your ONE shot this year and you pissed it away. That’s why they’re upset. I guarantee Saban wouldn’t be happy with a 1-2 record in the SEC against the top teams and because he doesn’t accept mediocrity he pushes and disciplines his teams to excel. That’s why we do it year in, year out. There is a top tier in the sec and those teams are in contention every year for the mnc. The second tier where you guys are will be capital one bowl champions, occasional sugar bowl when the big boys play for the title, but that’s it. It’s the way it is. It’s the way it will be.

Murray will be back. He wants a title.

Defense will be ok. We won’t have the NFL star power that we did this year, but did it really matter that we did? Look at how bad they were against the run. Maybe a group of new, hungry Dawgs is what we need on D. Garrison Smith, Kwame G, and Ray Drew on the line. Hererra and Jenkins will lead a very good corp of linebackers. And on the back end, Damian Swann has emerged as a big time playmaker, our secondary will be young and I’m worried about it but we’ve recruited well.

Georgia outplayed them two years in a row and Muschamp is in no way the caliber of coach that Meyer is.

For UGA to have success in 2013 it starts today. Richt already missed a golden opportunity. After the game, he should have banned any celebrations and made the entire team, including seniors, get back out on the field and practice. Full pads, full contact.
I also was disappointed that CMR didn’t apologize for the lackluster performance. It would’ve been a classy move and would send a message that we are disgusted with a capital one bowl and will only be happy when we get that bcs crystal back to its rightful home in Athens.

Good win, I really tought both teams got after it. The Dawgs looked out of wind many times especially after the last Nebraska TD.

I am a Mark Richt fan all the way but we need some tough love because we just about gave that game away today. But anyway I have never seen a bad win, I will take one anytime and anyway so enjoy the off season, support the other sports and let’s get ready for Dabo’s boys.

let’s take it easy on bama. He gets a couple days a year to feel good about himself when his team wins. The rest of the year he has to live in tuscaloosa, the cesspool of America. The entire world laughs at the entire state. Even detroit laughs at the state and their “legend” coach who looked like a fairy prancing around in his ridiculous hat.

So I’m assuming that these fair weather Bama fans are on a UGA blog because deep down inside they still love the Dawgs! Oh and don’t bother to come back when the tide changes chumps…

Congrats to the Dogs. 12-2 is a very good year for a guy like Mark Richt. A top ten finish and another year of doing just enough to quiet his critics. But keep this in mind Dog fans, the defense will be wrecked by players going pro early and the total lack of depth Richt attained over the past few seasons. The 2013 UGA defense will be very young and totally inexperienced starting out. They will have to grow up within the season and Grantham will have his work cut out for him. Murray’s slip of the tongue during the bowl postgame pretty must sums it up that he’s going pro. Good luck to him. So the incumbent QB Mason will finally get a chance to QB UGA for a year. Hate to say it but run & gun QB, LeMay may never get an opportunity to be a starter at Georgia. Bobo/Richt will almost certainly place overachiever Fauria at number 2 on the QB depth chart. The running game appears to be solid but it wouldn’t hurt to add another blue chip RB to build depth. With Richt at the helm, UGA will always priortize wide recievers, but he needs quality O-linemen more. Also he needs to recruit some skill players that have enough versatility to return punts and kick-offs on special teams. It’s a damn shame for a major university like UGA to have a undersized, slow walk-ons handle / fair catch punts. Richt has done a poor job in that area, and even his loyal delusional followers have to admit it.

To sum it up it probably won’t be a 12 win season for the 2013 Dogs. With holes to fill on offense and defense and a more challenging schedule, Georgia probably won’t make it back to Orlando a year from now. That’s a change no one will complain about unless they miss a bowl all together. Go Dogs !!

@ Jason : I have to disagree with you. LSU is a good team, but they are bi-polar. They are well coached by DC Chavis on defense. The Tigers a plagued with poor offensive playcalling in crucial situations and that’s on HC Les Miles. Their running game as always is strong, but they really need a good OC and QB coach. Les Miles cost the Tigers the game with bad offensive decisions vs. Alabama and he oversaw some terrible offensive playcalling late in the bowl vs Clemson, which cost them the game. Miles is really crazy and his in-game decisions are directly responsible for losses to ‘Bama and Clemson. LSU is a good team with bad coaching on offense.

Phil .. Murray has been better than Brees was in college. Just because Brees came around after years .. and I do mean YEARS of seasoning in the NFL doesn’t mean he was better than Murray. Do I project Murray to be better than Brees .. heck no, but no more than five years ago people were projecting Brees to be no better than average in the NFL, and that was after a few seasons. Heck, San Diego dumped him because they were certain they had a better young QB in Rivers. That should tell you everything.

Not only that, Murray performance in this game likely elevated him quite considerably. I have seen Geno Smith listed as the possible #1 pick, and if you think he has any better chance in the NFL than Murray you are just not altogether there. He had a couple of decent games this year, but he completely choked for the last eight.

Jason :

“They were 4 yards away. And if they had 10 seconds left or even a timeout UGA would have won.”
______________________________________________________________________________
Or, if we had spiked it, and then looked to the sidelines for the call because in the end the play we hurriedly tried to call was the 1-play Alabama had covered with their best defender on our best WR – a match-up which we forced the ball toward anyway, when had we simply thrown that ball away too, or had we gone through the progressions even on that play there were other options open.

You can have your Aaron Murray discussions a year from now, spare us that all year long – would you mind ?

We beat # 23 AP Poll Nebraska and they drop-out obviously in favor of Vandie.

Vandie at # 27 AP Poll, moves into the Top 25 and that was a decisive victory for us, like Nebraska.

We beat Florida, another decisive victory over the # 4 team, who was # 2 at the time and would’ve been playing Notre Dame since Alabama also ducked them when they would’ve beat Alabama, like we should’ve as well. It would’ve been the 4th NC for Florida in 16 seasons.

We have 5 Starters in the Pro-Bowl coming up, while only the vols have as many, and have 71 NFL Draft Picks Mark Richt era # 2 in the nation in recruiting. I’m happy. You’re not.

We lost to South Carolina in a blow-out who moves into the Top 10 with their win over Michigan and LSU’s loss to Clemson at # 11 AP Poll today. And dropped to 2-3 in SEC Championship Games but played our hearts out to the final bell and for this, this is a GREAT SEASON for UGA. It is the same 12-2 I guaranteed with the exact wins and losses as I stated pre-season that we’d lose to Alabama and South Carolina and win over Florida and a meaningless team in the bowl game. That’s what I said pre-season. It is what we did. What did you say ? What are you in the bowl challenge ? I am also 91 percentile in the bowl challenge nationally, which is better than Jeff Schultz.

Bama :

“a time long, long ago when you were relevant, Georgia is a 2nd Tier SEC team.”
________________________________________________________________

# 6 in all the polls 2012, and 4-yards from beating your butts – you were LUCKY, and we’re 2nd Tier SEC Team ? We’re not relevant when we’re # 6 for 2013, as well ? Who’s relevant ? Well, in The SEC, the relevant teams, who are NONE of them 2nd Tier, are : Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas A and M, South Carolina, LSU, and Vanderbilt – those are the 7 SEC Teams who make the AP Poll Top 25 for 2012 season – the only AP Poll published for the 2012 season.

Please note Bama, 4 SEC East Teams are AP Poll Top 25 today, and only 3 in your division, which was NOT better than The SEC East 2012 season. In fact, The SEC East is the BEST DIVISION of The SEC 2012 season.

So, too, will it be for the 2013 season. As for your historical BS, without the facts provided, as with all your off-hand comments taken exception to by EVERY Alabama fan, again, on this blog, that we’re

NOT RELEVANT 2012
2ND TIER SEC TEAM 2012

Georgia has played Alabama as well as any team in the United States of America all-time.

66 games, Alabama has won 37 although the vast majority were @ Alabama.

For a 2nd Tier SEC Team 2012, who is NOT RELEVANT, you sure were LUCKY to win by 4-yards on a failure of a junior QB to spike the ball and then look to the sidelines for the play, or go through his progressions to find the open man in the left corner of the end zone instead of forcing it in to our best WR against your only pass defender or throw it away to have the same or better options the last play.

Aaron Murray is NOT Drew Brees because Drew Brees even in college was a MUCH BETTER RUNNER than Aaron Murray, and while Drew Brees beat 5 teams who made the AP Poll Top 25 in 3 years as the Starter, Aaron Murray only has the win over Florida and Vanderbilt this season in his 3 years Starting. Drew Brees in the NFL is far and away better than 1 pass thrown in a pre-season game which is all Aaron Murray will ever have in the NFL and you know that, too.

When you should be in here congratulating an opponent who gave you ALL YOU COULD HANDLE in our 12-2 season Alabama has done better than once in your 120-year history, you call us

2nd Tier SEC team 2012
Not Relevant 2012

If you want to speak the Truth : We sure gave you guys fits for a 2nd Tier SEC Team, not relevant. The game wasn’t that CLOSE 4-yards ? Yeah, it was. 1 second from Victory, and you know it.

Mark Richt is 3-2 vs Alabama.

As for the Polls 2013 up-coming season, Georgia # 6.

South Carolina, Clemson, Vanderbilt and Florida are not ranked higher than UGA 2013 season, either. LSU is fixing to drop worse ranked than UGA both 2012 and 2013 too.

South Carolina is NOT ranked ahead of UGA for 2012 either and only Florida is for 2012 whom we beat handily with them scoring -0- TD on us and us scoring 2 TD on them for 2 wins in a row.

2013, we find no team ranked higher than Georgia we play, us at # 6 although in the pre-season polls so far before LSU blew it against Clemson in HotLanta, LSU WAS ranked # 3, but that will change in pre-season polls now to worse than UGA too.

Florida is NOT ranked ahead of UGA in pre-season polls 2013 because we have an Offense, and they don’t, obviously.

# 6 Georgia 2013 Polls
# 7 Florida 2013 Polls
# 8 LSU is what I predict now LSU 2013 Polls
# 10 South Carolina 2013 Polls
# 13 Clemson 2013 Polls
# 25 Vanderbilt 2013 Polls

We lose how many of those games, if Aaron Murray returns to set all NCAA records except wins ?

UGA came out flat for most of the first half, and I attribute that to the close SECCG they lost, but they were able to go in at halftime and come out fired up for the second half and Nebraska didn’t have an answer.
One thing worth noting, is the fact that three SEC East teams have now won their bowl game and two SEC West teams have lost theirs. I think, if Florida wins tonight, you can say that the SEC East is back. I think Alabama will not let down the SEC like LSU and Mississippi did. Hopefully, LSU can get a OC and a QB, as they looked bad on offense. The QB they have is not the answer. Mississippi was just over rated I think.
UGA finished strong, and if they can come up with a good defense, with all of the new kids next year, should be in the same position as they were this year. I think Murray will probably stay, although, I wouldn’t blame him for leaving, with all of the negative crap that fans say about him. As the announcer all noted yesterday on the broadcast, UGA fans are very demanding, and I think they meant that in a negative way. If most of this blog is any indication, they are spot on. As for the Tech. and Alabama bloggers that come on here with their idiot comments: I would say you need to find a blog about your own team, and leave the blogs concerning UGA to the fans of UGA. They complain enough about a win as it is. They don’t need your comments to add to most of theirs.
I look forward to next season, and enjoying the DAWGS play football. I am sure there may be some disappointment and a lot of high times, but football is a game, and these kids play their hearts out for UGA and the state of Georgia. Surely, some folks think of football as a life or death situation, but in the end, we should be proud that UGA is a fine institution, and represents the state of Georgia well.

Georgia had the easiest schedule in the SEC this year. Even in the bowl game they played a team that was flatten and embarrassed in their championship game. This is bum of the week scheduling and why the AJC locks into it with these high expectations is beyond me.

Did anybody notice that goofy Georgia announcer getting in the way of the coin toss at the beginning of the game? It looked like the refs chased him away after he tripped on people trying to get the game started. These are the hanger oners that feed this program’s high expectations that never seem to pan out. Five yards might have been what stopped them from even being in the SEC Championship game if they had played the original schedule with Alabama on it. As Clemson proved you have one great team in the SEC this year Alabama, and I am not real sure they beat Notre Dame after watching the SEC teams struggle in these bowl game.

The problem with Georgia scheduling a good out of conference opponent they do it five to ten years in advance, and these big hat no cattle brand name schools don’t stay figure heads forever.

Let’s not forget that Nebraska was not a great team and UGA couldn’t dominate them. I wish that Murray would leave because I’d love to see some of the other QB’s compete for action.

Grantham has his own guys next year and by God, they need to not eat any funny brownies this spring. The offseason is a time where they need to be working to get stronger and stay out of trouble and keep their grades up.

5150 UOAD,

Georgia Tech’s other Sports all graduate at 73 %, so why is your football team not only on NCAA Probation but also # 40 in wins starting 1957 and cannot graduate your football players ?

I missed that ?

You going to answer that this time, or run off and hide again ?

UGA had a golden chance to make it to the BCS NC game in 2012 and 2011. Due to schedule and down SEC East. Didn’t happen. To win an NC, a team has to beat the bad teams. UGA does that no problem. UGA has a problem beating good teams. CMR has fallen on his face in that department since 2007 or so. Has anypone noticed that the last 5 Natl Champs beat no less than 5 top ranked teams during their NC season? UGA hasn’t beat 5 top ranked teams the last 3 seasons COMBINED. That’s a the little subject UGA fans hates to talk about, including CMR. He acted offended when asked asked about it at the SEC press conf.

GT uses the excuse that GT is too hard for most jocks. If true, then why is GT trying to be something that they cannot expect realistically to ever be???
Of course. STANFORD belies that pathetic excuse. Historically, in ALL SPORTS AND Football, they are far superior to GT over the years and years that I have followed NCAA sports.

If Murray stays, it’s going to be hell to pay for SEC defenses or anybody else. With another offseason Murray will only get stronger, even more accurate, more power behind his throws, trust his O-line more (who by the way, will be intact next year), get more chemistry with Mitchell, Conley, Bennett, Tibbs, Scott-Wesley and BOTH Tight Ends, and get more in tune with Gurley and Marshall.

That’s why Vandy is better than Tech. That’s why Vandy will end the year ranked.

Stanford had more than 1 year. Harbaugh left, no dropoff. Run a prostyle offense. Have NFL players on the OL and at TE. Just put the QB in the NFL and he has his team in the playoffs.

Well, I am not asking for a national championship from our guys, coaches, and program. I am asking that they beat top team, and they did that in 2012. We have every reason to suspect being ranked higher than every opponent on our tough 2013 schedule in the preseason polls out already for 2013, that we will beat top team again 2013 if we just emphasize the run a lot more to protect our defense.

That’s all I ask of us.

If you want a national championship, and that is your goal, maybe Alabama is a better team to root for.

I am a Bulldog.

I root for Alabama when they play Notre Dame, like I did when they beat LSU last year and Texas 2 years before that. I even rooted for Alabama against Michigan State in 2010. I am rooting for Florida tonight like I did when they beat Florida State (FSU.) This is not the PAC-12 here. You can root for other SEC teams because we know we’re the # 1 conference and this gave us this chance I went to at the Dome 5 Saturdays ago. We were # 2 in 2007 and # 3 in 2002. Yes, I wish we hadn’t lost to 6-6 South Carolina 2007 and to unranked also in any poll Florida in 2002. I have no wishes about whom I wish we had not have lost to in 2012. I am happy. I am satisfied. I am fine with 2012 as a Great Season and the win over # 4 Florida as the BEST WIN in the Mark Richt era. A season in which we had a GREAT SEASON 2012, we beat # 4 Florida. I have asked for that and that only, and to beat a top team at the end of the season on the national stage in a bowl game, which Mark Richt has NOT done yet.

I want us to do that, too.

NC ?

I am not saying I am not interested in it.

I am saying it is NOT my goal.

This is my alma mater. I root for us whether they are good or not. I don’t root against them to have the coach fired. I might not think the coach is the sharpest knife in the drawer; but, I root for us.

And, I try to tell him and what David Pollack calls the blind homers he detests so much, the areas where he and we need to improve upon for the next season.

If that takes Shawn Williams’ type speeches, then fine : I’m all in for that. How’d that turn out for us ?

Best win in Mark Richt era.

In a GREAT SEASON for us.

If you want more than this, I am happy for you.

I secretly would love to see it too. I think we need to improve upon many areas I have detailed in specific gruesome research I have provided to these blogs for years what we need to do to do that.

We aren’t there yet.

Our coach is young. He’s not coached before. This is his only gig. If he would’ve had Vince Dooley teach him what I have tirelessly pointed out, but Mike Adam$ prevented that, he might have beat Alabama 5 Saturdays ago.

I said pre-game run the ball.

I said pre-game they only run the ball.

I said pre-game if we run the ball, Aaron Murray will be the difference in our favor.

They’re not real smart, you do know this, right ?

They did not run the ball and nearly proved me wrong that they could use 1 RB and him up the middle in a we run the ball time or 2, and flung the tater all over the place, as they are wont to do.

He has other holes, his coaching staff comes to mind.

And, his star QB only playing comes to mind.

And, this walk-ons on special teams I still saw out there yesterday again while our opponents get after it with their stars. He did some more of this 2012.

He will learn these lessons.

Either here or at his next gig, if he doesn’t become a full-time minister which is his real calling.

I like the guy.

The kids LOVE him.

I like watching the talent.

I like seeing them recruit top classes for me to watch and them to go to the NFL.

I also want to win.

Win all 14 ?

Not in 2013.

11-3 in 2013. Sorry, no NC. But, hopefully, we can beat a team like # 7 pre-season 2013 Florida, or # 10 pre-season 2013 South Carolina, or # 1 pre-season 2013 Alabama, or # 3 LSU although that pre-season 2013 ranking is going down, or # 8 preseason 2013 Texas A and M and beat # 13 pre-season 2013 Clemson. If you want 14-0, try FSU’s schedule in the stinking ACC where they did not deserve a BCS Bowl bid, and neither did Northern Illinois or Louisville, or 6-Loss Wisconsin unranked in any poll.

Life is not fair.

Life is life.

Just beat the heck out of somebody, anybody, and play your SEC Schedule and be happy with our program 2012.

We did what I asked of the men and coaches.

I predicted no NC for 2012 and predict none for 2013.

We have issues in our program which must be addressed.

I have detailed those and do so on a daily basis in here.

But, I am not looking or demanding a NC.

Wish I could.

Your recruiting has suffered at # 52 ranking every year for Paul Johnson because the defensive players don’t want to play defense against that high school offense 7 days a week 365 days a year, and because the offensive players want to see a forward pass once in a while. This state produces more high school recruits than every state except California, Florida and Texas who go on to the NFL, yet seemingly Paul Johnson cannot recruit any of them. They ask the kids what the issues are. I have explained them.

According to you, it’s because no one can graduate from Georgia Tech since it is so hard. Yet, these other sports’ athletes at Georgia Tech taking the same courses, from the same profs, all with the same degrees, at the same time, graduate fine.

Football players at Georgia Tech CANNOT graduate. Not even half of them in the latest Federal Graduation Report 2011-2012, while your other men’s sports tennis, swimming, track, golf graduate just fine – in fact VERY WELL.

Failing in your job to graduate even half your scholarship football players, does not make Georgia Tech a better school – it is, in fact, just the opposite GTBob. That is not a failure on my part to acknowledge anything about Georgia Tech. It is your failure to not acknowledge this is your job and what the

SCHOOL

is there for – to graduate more than half your scholarship football players.

Quit making excuses for it.

Stanford will soon wrap up its 13th straight Directors’ Cup, which recognizes overall success in intercollegiate sports. Many Stanford alumni, however, consider the cup a booby prize, won mainly because the school excels in non-revenue producing sports.
They and some former coaches fear that the football, basketball and baseball teams in particular will be hard pressed to compete unless they get more help from the admissions department.
<< Blog: Discuss admissions vs. athletics >>
Tom Williams, a former standout linebacker for the Cardinal who was an assistant coach under head coach Buddy Teevens, thinks Stanford’s future in football is “scary.” He said, “I see Stanford being a I-AA program if things don’t change.”
“They can’t keep raising the bar,” said Dave Tipton, a former All-America defensive tackle at Stanford who served as an assistant coach there for 18 years under five head coaches. He said the admissions standards for football players are “markedly” higher than they were 10 years ago. “Hopefully it will go back to where it was, which was tough but at least doable. Some of these kids are getting admitted to the Ivy League but not at Stanford.”

“UGA’s Defense has been LIT UP by everyone.”
______________________________________

10-42, who lit up whom ?

42 also Miami of Florida, a 6-7 LOSING RECORD team you got lit up by and LOST to.

49 middle tn college who lost the next week to Louisiana Monroe and lost their last game 45 to nothing and they don’t even play in a bowl game.

47 to Clempsum Farmers.

41 to Brigham Young who isn’t even in a conference and LOST to them as well.

50 to North Carolina and they didn’t even play in a bowl game either.

Do you think it might be appropriate here to say you gave up 42-10 vs us ?

Dear God, it can’t be any easier shooting fish in a barrel, can it to reply to Nerds ?

And, you run in here and say we are lit up ?

No.

You are the team lit up.

# 17 Scoring Defense NCAA Georgia Bulldogs
# 77 Scoring Defense NCAA Georgia Tech yellow-jackettes

Who is LIT UP and who ISN’T ?

Jeez, bloody, Louise ?

Oh no? It’s not a UGA blog? What is this article about? UGA. Where did you find this blog? On the UGA site. So YES IT IS a UGA Blog.

NO you find it Under the AJC SPORTS page and JEFF SCHULTZ.

I am going to be a broken record until it happens,,,,,,,Please simplify the Defense and let us win with the talent UGA has on Defense instead of 100 million different looks on D. UGA does not need D schemes with the talent UGA has. 14 pt win and that is not good enough? UGA is a force when you win by 14 and still have headlines that say Win with Flaws…UGA future looks great

You are an idiot. Tech fan who has nothing better to do than be on a UGA blog at 1 in the morning. You are sick. Have fun losing to UGA every year! Go Dawgs! 12-2! I’m out!

____________________________________________________________________

This post alone shows just how ignorant you are Jason. This is a feature writer blog at the AJC, NOT a UGA blog.

Once again your lack of understanding and IQ Level shows that you need to unplug and reload your brain( if you have one) and sit back and watch others in how to communicate on a blog.

Next year’s defense will be better than this year’s…here is my projected 2013 projected starting lineup:

DE: Ray Drew (finally shows his potential)
NG: Kwame Geathers (yes, he stays and gets better)
DE: Garrison Smith (becomes a star on the UGA defense)

OLB: Jordan Jenkins (becomes the next terror at pass rusher)
ILB: Ramik Wilson (another hard nosed LB)
ILB: Amarlo Herrera (already good player, break out year next year)
OLB: James DeLoach (will be a good, steady player)

CB: Damian Swann (potential All-SEC player)
FS: Corey Moore (will show potential)
SS: Josh Harvey-Clemons (rangy safety, can cover ground)
CB: Sheldon Dawson (Brandon Boykin pt 2, but better cover

Look folks Mark Richt is on the blog posing as “Jason”…notice the words in his post:

“Next year’s defense will be better than this year’s…here is my projected 2013 projected starting lineup:”……The key word being “My”! When did Mark Richt decide to start posting on a Featured writers blog at the AJC?

I think UGA will be as good if not better next year. As pointed out, the NFL talent didnt exactly play up to billing. Suspensions and inconsistent play all year kept them from being one of the top units they were in 2011. If you didnt know better, you’d have to swear they all went to the draft last year and UGA was rebuilding. Considering that, its hard to imagine the defense stepping back next year. Offenseively, UGA will be loaded…especially if Murray comes back. Even if he doesnt, redshirt Junior Hutson Mason should be a good replacement.

One thing thats clear about UGA…they are have been recruiting immediate impact players the last couple of years. Even Crowell got freshman of the year in the SEC. A lot of first and second year players stepped up and filled big holes for them this year. If they continue that trend in recruiting, this program will be top notch for quite some time.

Every time I read a discussion on how UGA “could win it all next year” the image of Charlie Brown, Lucy and that snatched-away football comes to mind.

Being serious for a change I personally want to congratulate GT on kicking some USCw a$$. That was one of the most satisfying games of the BOWLS.

Since I am passing out kudos I may as well include USCe kicking some Michigan butt as well and all this without their 2 best offensive players, Lattimore and Shaw.

I may as well include Vandy and James Franklin with the 2 above teams!!!!

Too bad I didn’t get to include LSU but being a sometimes second guesser I kinda believe if Miles had managed the clock a little better by running the ball and milking the clock instead of 3 passes that consumed only a few seconds, LSU probably/possibly would have won!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done guys and back to normal for me!!!!!!!!!!

Without Shaw? Huh? Better check your “inside sources” there, bud. Shaw played and played well: 18-26, 224 yds, 2 TDs, 0 INTs.

Moist dWag……how did uga expose Florida exactly? If the Gator RB goes down and doesn’t try to Jump into the endzone it is a 2 point game with the gators going for 2.
Moist dWag really remembers the games as he sees them through the Red & Black glasses and thinks that is what really happened. Stop smoking the UGa players good stuff and watch the games with a clear head.

Tampa Gator will come up with all kind of reasoning for the pathetic performance that is being played out in the Mercedes Superdome by his beloved Gators. The problem is that he will come out and say that Florida is playing horribly or that the future of Gator football is perilous.

UGA is in great shape as long as Muschump is roaming the sidelines.
What’s he 0 for 8(?) in the cocktail party as a Player, Assistant & HC?
