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.
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.

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.

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 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.

The best football show of all time was Bear Bryant in the 70’s. He drank whiskey out of a Coke bottle and frequently called players by the wrong name. Richt is “Mister Rogers” in comparison.

I haven’t watched the show very much. Mopeds, water girl, etc bore me. I remember football shows back in the 50s, black and white tv, recorded crowd noise all thru the game playback. The best part was an honest opinion by the interviewer and the coach. My suggestion is to start all over with the show, round up a few knowledgeable fans, and have a Q&A with CMR and his asst. coaches. Ask them WHY so many tackles are missed, coverages blown, etc. OFF with the fluff, give us some red meat. We deserve better as UGA fans than the laughable show presented to date. Heck, a tour of Vince’s garden and his pushing a wheelbarrow full of rocks is a lot better than the current show.

Plus, PLEASE have it start exactly half past the hour or right on the hour. My DVR only works by the half hour and some always gets cut off…or I have to fast forward through a lot of garbage. Ditch the water-girl segment all together–replace that with Munson’s Minute or something where Larry asks Coach a question or two about the game.

The rush through the game replay is fast paced and done in two minutes….while the replay is going on Chuck will ask a question about a specific play which will be answered as 4 more plays go by….how about a camera at the stadium for postgame “intelligent” questions from fans about game strategy from CMR ….”hey coach, why did we or didnt we go for it on 4th down in the 3rd qrtr? when we at their 45?”…real simple to get 2-3 of those….and leave out the “what are the black bones for?” questions.

How lame is your life when you would actually sit and watch a replay of a football game or a stupid coach’s show? Don’t you people have anything to do?
Why don’t you have Richt give academic progress reports on all of his “student athletes”, or perhaps report on how many players are attending their AA sessions? Then you might have that UGA dynamo, Loran Smith give one of his whiny reports about his man crushes on Richt and all of the dog players. Oh yeah, and you might have Richt do a show about how they consistently fail to even win their little eastern conference although everyone knows that even their scout team is made up of nothing but 4 and 5 star recruits every year. uga football and its’ fans should be the subject of a feature movie or a weekly TV series…it would be hilarious ( I’m thinking it would be something like Beverly Hillbillies or Green Acres…only dumber). I would see a goofy guy like Jim Carrey as Mark Richt with some ditzy blonde as his wife.

I would like the show to be game highlights and a preview of the next game (a scouting report). Maybe they should also talk about what’s going on around the SEC with the other teams. I like the suggestion that someone made saying to add an assistant coach to the show.
