Road to championship for UGA doesn’t have to go through Eugene
Seven games a year in Sanford Stadium is part of Greg McGarity's plan for UGA football. (University of Georgia)
OK, so I’m not going to pretend I can get excited — or even moderately interested — in the Dogs playing Charleston Southern.
Still, I’m fully on board with Greg McGarity’s new Florida-esque scheduling philosophy of making Tech the only BCS-level nonconference opponent regularly appearing on Georgia’s football schedule and trying to have seven home games in Athens most seasons.
I didn’t come to that view easily. I used to be one of those fans who complained about yawn-inducing home games against schools with directional names. I longed to see Georgia give up a diet of cupcakes and upgrade its nonconference schedule to include regular-season games against the likes of Texas or Michigan or that school that doesn’t like to be called Southern Cal.
Damon Evans cured me of that.
In a bid to build a national “brand” for Georgia, Evans scheduled home-and-home series with Colorado, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, Oregon and even Louisville.
The trips proved popular with fans. A large, vocal contingent in red and black actually took away the home advantage when the Dogs played at Arizona State, and I know a lot of fans, including my son, are looking forward to the trip to Boulder this week.
But the wear and tear of long-distance travel wasn’t a hit with Mark Richt, who noted this week: “It sounds like a good idea and it’s kind of romantic I guess. It seems like everybody would enjoy doing that. I’m sure a lot of fans enjoy taking some of those trips, but it is tough on your team, your players and coaches.”
Indeed, the week after that 2008 trip to Arizona State the Dogs came out flatfooted in what was being billed as the game of the decade and quickly fell behind 31-0 to the Crimson Tide.
Then there was last year’s brutal schedule that saw Georgia playing three BCS nonconference foes, including the opener at Okie State. Meanwhile, Florida was facing the likes of Charleston Southern, Troy and Florida International, and Bama was feasting on Florida International, North Texas and Tennessee Chattanooga on its way to the BCS title.
True, the Tide also played Virginia Tech, but they don’t have a regular BCS nonconference rival on their schedule like the Dogs do.
So one of the first things McGarity did was get out of the Oregon deal. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s too late to do anything about Louisville, a matchup that doesn’t excite anyone anymore, if it ever did.
One of the arguments in favor of scheduling these regular season games outside the Southeast was to boost recruiting. But as Richt said this week, “Playing that kind of game does draw attention. It does get you on the other side of the country, but do we really recruit over there? We really don’t.”
As for Evans’ idea of building the brand, which is more likely to do that, playing a team on the West Coast or winning the SEC and contending for the BCS national championship? As McGarity put it, “I think winning and running your program the right way is what promotes your brand.”
Plus, McGarity indicated he’s still open to playing a Southeastern nonconference rival like Clemson every few years and even possibly a once-every-decade high profile game against someone like Texas or Michigan.
Actually, I’d like to see Georgia go one step further in that regard and put the rivalry with Clemson on some sort of permanent rotating basis, with the two teams playing home-and-home, taking two or three years off, and then doing it again.
I especially like the idea of seven home games a year, too.
Bottom line, though, is that no matter how boring those games against the Charleston Southerns are, they’re a necessary building block nowadays in putting your program in the best position to compete at the highest level. As McGariy says, if the Dogs can win out in their SEC schedule and beat Tech, they’ll likely be in the national championship conversation. Any year.
Of course, mastering that SEC schedule looms as something of an obstacle for Georgia right now. But that’s another discussion entirely. …

Layla Kiffen: You stated that UGA beats Florida when they have an open date before the Florida game. Didn’t UGA have their open date before the Florida game last year? And did they not come out looking like Grambling? And did they not get ANOTHER BEATDOWN from the Gators 41-17?
The open dates have REALLY helped the last 2 years-STOMPED by Florida & getting run all over by Tech in the 2nd half 33-14 on the way to a 45-42 loss.

It’s kind of sad to see all the Dawg fans getting so excited this year (just like the year before, the year before that, etc.). How long is it going to take for UGA fans to realize that UGA is simply no longer relevant in the SEC? In the national picture, UGA isn’t even a blip on the radar, and hasn’t been since the preseason #1 ranking two years ago.
Sit back and be grateful for the seven or eight wins you’ll get every year. Coaching genius Mark Richt may take you to 8-4 or even 9-3 occasionally, but Florida will still win the SEC, meaning no BCS bowls and no top 10 final ranking. Most years, UGA will be very lucky to finish in the top 25, and only after a big bowl win over a nobody opponent.
It’s a different world now, and Dawg fans need to adjust their expectations downward to reflect reality.
Unfortunately nothing is going to change until UGA changes its mediocre coaching. That’s where the difference is, and that’s why everyone outside Dawgtard Nation just laughs at Dawg fans getting so excited year after year about what a great recruiting class UGA gets. It doesn’t matter how many blue chip high school players go to UGA, they simply don’t get the coaching they would get at Florida or Alabama, to name two schools whose programs are far ahead of UGA. And that’s not going to change as long as Mark Richt is in Athens.
Get your heads out of the sand and face reality. And mediocrity and irrelevance.

We’ve tried it both ways now. When we had easier non-conf. games, the sports media said our schedule was too soft. When we schedule tougher non-conf., our schedule was to tough. Go ahead, schedule the cupcakes. That will give us more time to prepare for our SEC schedule. Everyone calm down. Florida will find out what it’s like to not have Tebow. Alabama is in a class by themselves right now. This year,when they are on, no team- not FL, Ohio St., South Cal, Oregon, etc.- can beat them. Can you just image what Bama would do to Boise State????

I understand last year was dissappointing and this year isn’t going so well. But occassional top 25? Where have you been? We have been a consistant top 10 program through Mark Richt’s 10 year tenure 5 or 6 out of his 9 years (you can break it down however you like AP, ESPN, Harris Poll) much less a top 25 team! I understand you may want to bash the UGA program while its at a low point, but be real!

Alabama may be regreting that kind of scheduling in the near future. Again, Dawg fans need to calm down. We’ve had some recruits that just haven’t panned out. Recruiting is a fickle, unpredictable thing. Happens to every coach during their career. We’ll have some more guys coming in next year.

Hawk 01 — you are DEAD wrong, buddy.
A program in shambles is what North Carolina is about to be… it’s what Vandy has been for 50 years… it’s what Washington State is… it’s what Ga. Tech was in the 1-10, mid-90s years.
Georgia’s program is prestigious, wins more than it loses and has a massively loyal fanbase.
Georgia has one of the top-five stadiums in America, size-wise, and has filled it up for decades. How many expansions has Sanford gone through since the 70s? Ga. Tech had to REDUCE their seating a few years ago.
Georgia is considered to be “bad” or have “down years” if it doesn’t go 11-1 or 10-2 and play for an SEC title. That means expectations are through the roof, and that comes from WINNING 10 or 11 games a year to BUILD that expectation. Mark Richt has done that more often than not at Georgia.
Until the last year or so, UGA was a tremendous road team under Richt. Check out his road record from 2001-2008. Pretty impressive. Not many schools win like that on the road.
Georgia gets top-10 recruiting classes most years. Programs in SHAMBLES don’t.
Georgia is one of the most coveted coaching jobs in the country. Ask how many coaches would apply if the UGA job came open. The resumes would number in the hundreds, including some high-profile coaches.
Until the last year and a half, Georgia dominated the SEC as usually the 3rd or 4th best team in the league. Yes, there have been some bad losses in 2009 and 2010, but before the last 15 games or so, the only teams considered better overall than Georgia in the SEC were Florida, Alabama and maybe LSU. For the best college football conference in the nation, that’s pretty dang good.
Under Richt, Georgia is at least IN THE RUNNING most years to go the SEC title game, which means it has a shot at top-5 nationally and maybe getting a shot at the national championship. Can Ga. Tech say that? Nope. I understand the last 15 games haven’t been the best, but I am judging the last decade of work, not the last 12 months. IN THAT PERIOD… OVERALL… Georgia has been a force, knocking off top-10 teams like Auburn, Va. Tech, LSU, Ga. Tech, etc.
Oh, yeah, and check out Georgia’s record vs. ACC teams over the last 3 decades or so… it’s pretty dominant.
None of those “lower tier” SEC teams you want to lump Ga. in with have won ANYTHING for decades. Georgia has won SEC titles and been to BCS bowls under Mark Richt… only the aforementioned Fla., Bama and LSU can lay claim to that.
No, I’m not happy with Georgia’s fortunes this year… but I’d rather an 8-win season be considered bad than be at a school where an 8-win season is the GOAL and considered GOOD (South Carolina, Ga. Tech, Ole Miss, most Big 10 teams, most Big 12 teams, any Big East team, etc.)
Case closed.

Oh, and by the way, despite how TERRIBLE you haters think Ga. and Richt have been recently… Georgia has NEVER had a 3 or 4 win season under Richt… in fact, the worst team over the last 40 years or so I think was the 1990 team that was 4-7. OTHER THAN THAT… Georgia usually wins 8 games or more. In the ultra-competitive SEC, in the best league in the country, in the league that has four straight national titles… that’s not bad.
Yes, this is a bad year… yes, Ga. is struggling this season… no, we won’t win any titles… but ya know what? Richt has never been far off from ripping a 10-2 season right after a “bad” year. Give him some time, things will get fixed. And Georgia will once again be one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the SEC very soon.
Jeff
October 1st, 2010

And if I’m not mistaken, didn’t Bama go 3-8 not too long ago? Wasn’t Tech 1-10 sometime around ‘94 or ‘95? Hasn’t almost every team in the SEC or ACC struggled at periods over the last 10 years or so? NOBODY wins 10 or 11 games for 20 straight years, not even Bama or USC or Florida or Fla. State. Look at Tennessee… playing for the SEC title one year, plummetting down to a five-win season and the Lane Kiffin fiasco just a couple of years later. Georgia hasn’t slipped to that yet, and I don’t believe it will.

Not only has Coach Richt NOT BEAT a SINGLE Top 10 Final AP Poll team in a SINGLE year in which he did not lose 4 games, 3 games or 4 games that season and only did that 3 times out of what could have been 142 games now; but he has added in some really hard to EXCUSE AWAY 9 losses to teams NOT RANKED in the Top 25 Final AP Poll. Remember a 4-win Vandie just a few years ago, the same year we beat Auburn who ended up # 9 ?
What the other fans of other schools are trying to tell you Jeff is that Coach Richt really has NOT BEAT the Top 10 teams in the Final AP Poll at 3-8, NOT beat the Top 25 teams in the Final AP Poll at 17-21, and has ADDED in NINE (9) MORE LOSSES against LOUSY TEAMS.
You might take that.
I don’t.
There we differ, you and I, Jeff. There I side with the fans of other teams.
Georgia tek fans I would NOT side with, however.
Alabama fans I would not side with, either. Like you said, and like I said to that numbnuts Tide fan posting to you and to me Jeff. Alabama had to VACATE 21 wins the last few years and REMAINS ON PROBATION as they ALWAYS ARE.
I see no qualifying comments about LSU, as you qualify their “better status” you say Jeff. They have been MUCH BETTER than Coach Richt. So, has Florida.
Alabama too, if they were NOT ALWAYS ON PROBATION.
This in our own conference.
I get no DAMN SOLACE, Jeff, out of 20-15 vs SEC after 2005 season. In the SEC East, alone, there has only been 1 team after the 2005 until today. That is Florida. Want to explain the 10-11 record vs SEC East after 2005 season to-date Jeff ? I didn’t think so. It is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for Coach Richt. You talk about the last 2 years. I talk about the last FIVE (5) YEARS including this one.
Jim Donnan left a TON OF TALENT here for Coach Richt. His OWN RECRUITS have DONE FAR WORSE both ON THE FIELD, especially vs SEC, and OFF the field filling the damn jails, Jeff. Why did you neatly just skip over that please Jeff ? Why NOT ONE DAMN WORD about Fulmer Cup National Championship 2010 and # 2 Fulmer Cup after 2005 season to-date ?
Jeff, you cannot discuss Coach Richt and NOT DISCUSS he is # 2 Fulmer Cup Standings for all of the years after the 2005 season in the most arrested / suspended football team in America. Hell, 10 this year arrested.

Dish it out.
But, you cannot take it.
And, I by God Above, will give it back to you.
Go whine to someone else.

hawk01 you ignorance is apparent but you are right georgia is now bottom tier program. but not because of talent but because of poor coaching. if you put nick saban at georgia he will win the title every year or at least play for it. the same goes with urban myer. uga has the same number of players currently in the nfl as fl, and bama. and ohio state is a joke the last title they won the refs took from the canes. every year they play the sec school they get crushed.
