Coach Mark Richt is the best thing that has happened to UGA football since Coach Dooley retired! I admire his ethics, integrity and his desire to “finish the drill”. I believe in him and not the “so called fans” who jump off the band wagon it gets tough! I support Coach Richt no matter what the seasons hold, he has been good to us and we should trust him and be good to him also! GO DAWGS!

I am and will always be a loyal UGA fan. But there are some facts that should be mentioned, and at the same time be a little disturbing to Dawg fans.

1. If I’m not mistaken, UGA is the most profitable football program. They generate more revenue other than Texas.

2. More Georgia High School players end up playing in the SEC. Our state produces the most SEC players than any other state.

3. Now this news comes out. Top 10 in attendance. Hell we would be #1 if we had a bigger stadium.

With all this said, all we have is 2 SEC Championships. Don’t get me wrong, we should be very proud of this. But it honestly isn’t enough. All loyal fans need to realize this.

And yet Miles has won a NC. Richt problem is inability to run up a score for “style points” you need now to get it. Richt wants to play the “Gosh Aww Shucks let me be your BFF” way to much in games. NO Killer Instinct.

Thankfully for UGA, things went so well for so long that a hiccup brings focus on the processes and practices of the present to re-evaluate where we are and what we are doing.

Tech’s 18 ranking comes as a surprise, but speaks well of their efforts. The ACC with 5 of the top 25 compares favorably with PAC-10 and BIG-10+1. The BIG 12 ( big 2 + 10 dwarfs ) pales in comparison.

The SEC is still shown to be the cream of the crop with 3 of the top 10, and with 6 of the top 25.

….but we all knew that.

It’s obvious that Alabama made the top 25 because of its National Championship last year and the Crimson Tide should continue to do extremely well. That said, I can’t see Notre Dame on this list, much less Georgia Tech.

I agree that the last two years have been hiccups for the Dawgs. With the change at defensive coordinator UGA should be able to regain its position at the top of the SEC. Development of a quality QB this year will also help the cause.

With the financial strength, attendance, quality of facilities and university, Georgia should always lead the SEC.

1970 Dawg,

The 2000-2006 debacle was bad but this was the worst period ever in Bama football history and makes this decade probably the worst in our history. Even with that thrown in we still rated 12th for the decade. You guys had probably your best decade ever in your history. The point is that even when we are at our worst and you are at your best you were barely better than us. You rated 8th and we rated 12th.

Of course its always convenient to pick a point in time so now I guess I’ll pick my own point in time rather than live in ancient Mike Shula history. Let’s look at even more recent history like the recent 5 year period 2005-2009. U believe Georgia is a .500 team in its own division at 10-10 in the sec east. Bama has 2 division titles in that span, an sec title and national title, and 10, 12, and 14 game winning seasons.

The more recent 5 year history is more telling than seasons that happened 8-9 years ago. There’s really not much difference between what happened 8-9 years ago and what happened in the 90s. Or should we throw in the 90s since that was when the 2 division format was implemented. Nope. WHy? Because throwing in that lost decade of Georgia football really makes you look really, really bad.

1970dawg, just go ahead and pick 2000-2009 timeframe since its the only point in football history with which you can make some semblance of an argument you were worth a hoot. Just pick the point in time that happens to coincide with Zook at Florida and Bama being on the 2nd worst probation ever handed down. Me? Well, I’ll choose not to live in the past and focus on the present.

How about if we as Bama fans choose to throw out 2000 for us as well as 2006 and throw out 2002 and 2005 for Georgia. I guess if we did that we would be wayyyy ahead of Georgia.

What was that about Bama fans only think football was played between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban? Come again. We won a national title with Stallings and even won sec titles with the likes of guys like Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, for God’s sake even Mike DuBose won an sec title.

Between Vince Dooley and Mark Richt how many Georgia coaches won sec or national titles you ignorant fool? Inquiring minds want to know. How many smart guy???

War Eagle, I didn’t reference Herschel or the early 80s for a reason — that was another decade. It’s difficult to question the ability of UGA to recruit/play on a superior level if everything works like it does on paper and that obviously hasn’t happened. There are a lot of factors that play into final results, too many for me to post here.

That being said, y’all have been completely robbed of championships in years past. I’ve always said that and I always will.

Most US colleges would simply love to enjoy the status ( whatever it is ) that UGA enjoys and all of this without a recent NC. This proves it all. UGA is still a BRAND NAME with or without the NC title.

UGA SEATS at football games more than all the other schools in the USA, except for 5 others. In other words, the folks enjoy trecking to Athens for an outting. Most techies will not take Marta to a tech game as a contrast.

In closing …………..UGA has a fabulous program and this has been true for nearly 50 years. The facts prove it. I hope that you bloggers can read but if you went to public high school, well ……sorry.

Take TCU and Boise State and Oregon or Oregon State ( i confuse these two ) as three examples of up and comers. They will take years and years and years of quality bowl WINS and top 10-15 finishes before they are in this elite status. No one right now SERIOUSLY starts the year out naming them as a sure bet for the NC or final top 5 picks. Maybe west coast sports writers.

UGA is a top program. Aaaaahhh !! I just love it.

In 2002, Ohio State went 12-0 in the regular season with a paltry five-point win over Wisconsin, a miniscule six-point win over Penn State, and a pathetic 10-6 win over Purdue where Craig Krenzel threw a 37-yard touchdown pass on fourth down in the final two minutes.

Then the Buckeyes needed a sadly pathetic overtime to beat Illinois and beat Michigan 14-9 with a miracle touchdown with less than five minutes remaining. Ohio State could have seen its national championship dreams derailed several times but to the Buckeyes’ everlasting credit, they always found a way to win.

Mark Richt’s best team at Georgia (12-1 with a loss to Florida), which finished No. 3 in the BCS Standings, just needed for Ohio State to lose one of those games and the Bulldogs are in the Fiesta Bowl against Miami.

I guess in a playoff UGA could not have beaten the mighty Buckeye’s? And we still think the BCSNC is legit? LOL

Aaron Murray has NEVER taken a snap in college and John Brantley is a better QB than him. UF’s running backs return with much more production than Ealey and UGA’s backs and will be running behind an OL than has its whole 2 deep except one player back.

Florida lost 11 starters but UGA lost 8 themselves. Even with that UF is more talented and more experienced than UGA and has a much better head coach.

You guys keep praying things will be different but like every other year around this time I would learn to keep my mouth shut until your team actually proves you right.

JB,

Meyer’s offense has always been designed around the talent he has. Does the name Cjris Leak ring a bell? You know because he won a National Title while at UF and Brantley is much better than he ever was. STart learning some facts instead of talking about what you hope is the truth when its not.

Florida will be good not great. To think they will be as productive as when tebow was there reminds me of myself thinking cox would be a better leader than stafford. Brantley will do ok but he will have big shoes to fill syndrome and probably try to do too much early on. It will be hilarious watching florida try to run out of the I. They will be using the spread option against good teams. They are just not built to play smash-mouth SEC football, which is fine as long as they win. Best way to beat them is still just to run it down their throats and keep the offense off the field.

Haters on here love to tell the Dawgs who we will lose to. Florida have 5 teams that could beat them this year. Bama, LSU,GA,SC and FSU………….they won’t win all those I know and I’d bet. Wow, 7-5 would probably get Meyer to really resign. Yes, Ga and SC is on my list.

Brantley at Florida has proven nothing. When he brings Florida back 80 yards with two minutes to go to win a game, then we tip the hat. Mop up for Tebow with a four touchdown lead when the other team has quit ( yes, UGA in that group) does not make a proven SEC QB.

Hey Bill – you said “What’s especially notable is that all of the teams ranked ahead of Georgia won a national championship during that decade and the Dogs are the highest-ranked team that didn’t win one.”

What’s remarkable is your redundancy. And your ability to say the same thing twice. Yes, if every team ranked ahead of uga won a national championship it must mean that uga is the highest ranked team that didn’t win one. Can you think of any more ways to say the same thing?

Hey Dogtards
Consider the fans that read this
site and based on the blogs from them
the redundancy probably is necessary to
assist them in figuring this out.

Bill
It is a good confirmation of where Georgia has been in the Richt
era and I agree that it is likely a hiccup. I think we have
good reason to be hopeful in regards to the young QBs, but have
a little concern about the pressure they will have to deal with
because of the the last 2 seasons and the increasing unrest
associated with it. Oobviously these guys have talent but it
takes a certain level of maturity not usually associated with
young QBs to thrive with a great deal of pressure on them.
Do you share this concern as well ?

Richt is 2-7 against Florida, certainly Dawg fans can’t be satisfied with that.

Again you people are clueless. Meyer is not going to run the same offense with Brantley as he did with Tebow. He adjusted it for Chris Leak and he’ll adjust it for Brantley. They played from the I a lot in 2006 with Leak and I think they did ok that year.

Also Florida has been a top 3 rushing team in the SEC since Meyer has been there. This season the Gators will be the deepest and most talented at OL and Running Back that they’ve been since Urban has been at Florida. DO the math…

THIS IS THE BOTTOMLINE: Richt is a good coach. He learned to coach under Bobby Bowden. Bowden won championships based on superior talent, not (tactical and strategic) coaching. This approach works unless you have less talent than the team you’re playing or you play a team with equal talent and better coaching. If UGA fans are patient, Richt will eventually recruit a rare ultra-talented player and win the national championship.

LOL, nothing brings out the pathetic, jealous trolls like some good hard facts. Face it losers, UGA is a nationally recognized power, and no amount of your foot-stomping and teeth-gnashing will change that. If your fragile psyches can’t handle it, you should probably eschew football for shuffleboard or lawn darts.

As I remember, Leak spent most of his time in shotgun formations running the smoke draw play or passing. How is that different then Tebow? just because they line up in the I four or five times a game doesn’t mean they run a traditional offense. Heck I hope they change what has been working.

yeah ok then:

You always talk about what the coach has done at that school. Saban coaches at Alabama now. 33 wins in 3 years. That’s 11 wins per season, right?

If Meyer blanks at UF the next 4 years, then he’ll have 2 SEC titles in 9 years. The same number as Richt. Meyer averages 11.4 wins per season. Richt has averaged 10 wins per season. But over the past 5 years Urban has been at UF, Rich has averaged 9.6 wins per season.

Maybe we should use that number?

I suffered for 20 years without an SEC title before CMR came along. Now 2 down years, 10-3 & 8-5 , after that great 07 season, and I am supposed to be wanting to replace him. I don’t think so. Anyway It IS a moot point. The DAWGS are back and the next 4 years will prove IT.

Man all you georgia fans need to make up your mind. one minute you love him and the next you hate Richit.

I am the first to admit, the SEC is the hardest conference to play in. So…….. these rankings do not suprise me.

One thing i am not so sure about is why GT is ranked 18?

They, if you ask a BIG GT fan, should not even be ranked in this. GT has only been really good the past 2 years. So thats the one I am confused about……….
Oh well……..,

Urban has won more games per season that Richt and won the same number of SEC titles in 5 years that Richt has won in 9 years. And 2 National Championships… But some UGA fans don’t count those. Strange thing is that UGA flies 2 National Championship flags at Sanford & Son Stadium. Weird…

Speaking of consistency, if you click on the CFB Data Warehouse link above and go to the quarter century rankings, you’ll find five periods. (The first period is 31 years long.) What is the only team ranked in the top 40 in the first period (expanded due to the number of teams presently in the FCS), ranked in the top 25 in the four quarter century periods of the 20th century, AND ranked in the top 10 of the first decade of the 21st century? That’s right, you can’t spell sugar booger without UGA!

Major college football national championships (currently known as “BCS titles” – removing the C would make a more apt title) exist the same way Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny exist. Only in the hearts of the true believers. How about we win the only real championship we’re eligible for – the SEC. Richt’s done that twice in his 9 years, which is about the same pace Dooley had in his 25 years. A big letdown after the potential shown from ‘02-05, but still better than the Donnan and Goff years.

Well, usually I like to get on here and see what GT fans are saying about UGA and so forth but HOW2FISH is giving Dawg fans a bad name. You sound extremely pathetic. Sad, really. Just face it- Alabama is wayyyyyy ahead of UGA, as is Florida and UT is neck and neck with you- which is bad considering their coaching issues the past 14 months or so. Jealousy is not a very pretty thing on you….leave the football talk to the big boys, you guys should be worried about being the only team in the top 8 that failed to the win the National Championship this decade.

#1 is under investigation. UGA slammed #3 LSU several times. Miami? Nobody goes to those games unless they are playing FSU or UF. Ohio State and Oklahoma never fail to disappoint in the big game. UF had Tebow and Texas had Vance. Bottom line, just I have recently been called out on, Georgia is a power house program.

CMR is a nice guy and a great person but lets face it when it comes to getting down and dirty to win a National Championship CMR lacks to get it done. He needs to put his foot to the pedal when he can against teams like Vandy, Kentucky and SC. Im Sorry but Style points do count in college football among the sports writers and even fellow coaches whether you believe it not. Too many times CMR coached teams has had to hold on for dear life to teams that have much less talent. Key words here are “too many times”. Not too mention his pathetic record against the Gators and getting blown out by them too. The National Sport pundits ain’t giving UGA too much credit right now even though CMR’s Record looks good but he hasn’t been able to get past Florida and bring in the big prize. Im just sayin!!!!

The glories of yesteryear –The UGA program peaked in 2008 and will never achieve that level again in terms of both talent and national stature. Georgia Tech was 19th and was saddled with Chan gailey during most of the decade. I see in the decade ahead GT moving up and UGA moving down. But mourn nor UGA fans, you’re used to hanging on to past glories.

Bill Lumbergh..shall we get together after the Bama appeal is decided and then go over Saban’s wins if the NCAA’s ruling holds up and they have to void the 20+ wins in 05,06, and 2 in 07 which would reduce his total to 31 in 3 years…or just let it ride?

2012 will be the “magic year”. 2010, with a new coordinator, gives him a pass. If 2011 turns out not to meet expectations, then, if he cans Bobo, he MAY slide into 2012. Come 2012 and no SEC championship or better, Richt will be history. The next three years will be fun to watch.

Hey JB,

Bama does count the years between Bear and Saban,, in fact we really enjoyed 92 when we won yet another National Title. Oh, and I remember playing Florida in the SEC CG a couple other times in the 90’s while the Dawgs sat at home… So I guess that in Bama’a worst years we have still won 2 National titles since your last 1.

It’s actually #4 in winning % of coaches who are active with at least 5 years at a school.

Saban did not go 80 wins in his 1st 8 years.

Only 8 guys in NCAA history did that. Richt is one of the 7.
