What do you want from Richt’s TV show?
With the new UGA athletics media rights deal with ISP Sports meaning “The Mark Richt Show” might expand to an hour, you’d think we’d get to see more highlights from the previous day’s game.
Loading ...Instead, Thomas said that while UGA wants Richt to comment on the game, they also want him to provide an inside look at the program through features.
I think Thomas is missing the point. Yes, there are various places you can see the game (though some of them require you to pay a fee). But it’s not so much seeing the highlights that fans want as it is seeing highlights with Rich’s commentary about them! Where are we going to get that if not from the coach’s TV show?
As for the plan to expand the features side of the show, it depends on what they have in mind. More player profiles? That would be interesting and worth watching. More canned features about the university? Not so much.
So what would you like to see on an expanded Richt TV show? Feel free to comment, vote in the poll or do both.

Highlights of the game with commentary by the coach. It is so simple it plumb evaded them.

100 percent of the votes say that we want more commentary from the coach on game highlights. Of course being the only person who has voted yet helped.

Skip the features, give us highlights. Stop the action, let the coach comment, and on to the next clip. No more features on the Moped gang riding to class. Stop the madness.

The current show is a joke. When I make myself watch it I feel like I am stepping back into the 70’s and some GPTV program directed by Lauren Smith. It is just really silly.
Highlights….Highlights….Highlights –
Game analysis – Coaches points good and bad about the game and next opponent.
No one cares about all the feature stories …. Silly –
And I know we have to pay some bills, but must limit the YELLER FELLER commercials.

For entertainment, put Coach Wille in a water Dunk Tank and have the defensive unit try to sink him off the field…Hey, I’m just trying to help here.

As much as it pains me to say it as an Alabama fan, Tennessee has one of the best shows around. It is very pofessional. I think Richt’s show, like Saban’s is too short. Definitely make it an hour. Also, the lighting and set of Richt’s show looks like it is done in some basement by a Freshman communications major. UGA can do better.

I would also like a ban on all carpets of dalton commericals. Lmit water-girl segments(although Mrs.Richt is awesome, the segment has become very cheesy)

I am proud to be an actual alum of UGA but no more features on the genetics research lab. That should be on GPTV not the Mark Richt show. I would like to see a better time slot in the Atlanta TV area. midnight sunday on WSB is not exactly a good time for working folks.

More highlights with CMR commentary. Less commericals and water girl segments.
MORE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS for CMR about the games, especially when we lose.

I would like it if we got alot of analysis of the different events of the game form Richt for about the first 3/4 of the show and the last segment to be about the upcoming opponent. Oh and no more local IBEW 109 commercials. That guy in the hardhat is a union boss and not somebody I want invading my time focusing on football.

Here’s the formula…
1. Provide video footage of the week leading up to the game.
2. Profile one redshirt frshman each week.
3. Get Larry and Lauren to have a conversation about a historical game.
4. Interview fans after the game.
5. More game footage

I would like to hear him explain why GA is going to lose to Tech 2 years in a row, why GA can’t beat FL, and why GA fans think they have a successful football program when they haven’t won anything in forever (the sugar bowl doesn’t count for anything other than 2nd place).

A third rate broadcast for a first rate football program.
Highlights and analysis of previous game.
Analysis of next weeks game.
Recruiting update and something to really appeal to recruits.
(Can you imagine the impression a 5 star recruit gets watching this show…Mayberry U)
Its a coaches football show – not a academic show, not a commercial for a research lab – It is about football

Sorry, hater. You sounded too much like a tekkie, particularly mentioning them first. Maybe you should have identified your team to avoid confusion (if you are truly a gator and not a vicarious tekkie).

Get into the game highlights and how the preperation game plan worked or did not…maybe point out adjustments at halftime….More highlights…
The next weeks opponent….

As a gator living in Atlanta, I naturally root for Ga Tech. We both hate FL State and GA, so it is fun to have a home team (especially one on the rise).
Was someone asking about a football show?

hater,
i’d love to hear how yall haven’t played a non-cnference game outside of the state of Florida since adam and eve were still without sin. Or how you can get so much love playing a schedule filled with high school teams as your non-cnference opponents. Charleston Southern? Are you serious? Any school that is a city name and directional should not be on an sec team’s schedule. buford high school would probably man-handle them.

I want Richt commenting more on the GaTech beatdown from last November, the b%$@! slap that’s coming this November, and on all other future a@%! whoopins’ coming after Thanksgiving in the Paul Johnson era. That would make for an interesting program for all.

More commentary and explanations from CMR on why Willie cannot stop anybody. I swear sometimes it looks like we are running a prevent, cover 8 defense (if that is even possible) and might even be dropping defensive linemen into coverage. I’d also like to hear more from CMR on our redzone offensive woes and why we seem to always run the ball from the shotgun formation on 3rd and 15.

I’d like to hear wes “tons of fun” durham and coach pajamas discuss the apparent addition of jacksonville state to the All Cupcakes Conference. 2 years in row, are serious? But don’t worrying pajamas will get sick of being 2nd class and he’ll move own to real football job like your boy Bill Curry did. Remember? He bolted for Bama becuase even he knew there is only 1 big boy in this state and boys in the hood u isn’t it! Now go back to your blog and discuss how much you love world of warcraft.

More high lites……showing why this play worked, or why it did not, with the details on what is improving, and what is not. Would be interesting especially on defensive coaching moves.

Content is important but the program needs to dramatically improve in quality and the show needs to accomplish more than just an outlet for fans to appease their addiction to UGA football fixes.
Huh?
July 2nd, 2009

I don’t watch the coaches show that much, but when I do its a total snoozefest. I find the coach’s commentary to be dull boring coachspeak and nothing more. Like he’s going to call out a player for a bad play on that show. Like he’s going to divulge all of their playcalling secrets on that show. If you think you’re getting some kind of inside look at the program with that coach’s commentary you are sorely mistaken. Its total fluff. Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the coach’s show is the interviews with the players after the game and features about them. I would like to see more of that.
