Yeah I gotta say that I think especially in the first half we played really well. Honestly I just think Cam Newton is such a superb athlete that our defense didn’t have a chance. They are 11-0 for a reason you know. Overall I was pleased with our effort

Yeah, I don’t have any problems with the offense or Bobo, they’ve been putting up plenty of points. The defense has been the problem the entire season. I’m beginning to wonder if Grantham is the answer.

Probably not first since reading the article before posting……The officials MUST do something about that body slamming maniac Auburn has on defense. There is absolutely no call for that.

Bill, you are right. We have to improve our secondary and get a nose tackle before we can really see what this 3-4 defense can do. I also thought we should have been able to run the ball a little better so as to control the time of possession better as well. However, if you can’t stop them on 3rd down, that is hard to accomplish.

Next year should truly be better if CMR can start from day one in spring practice working on blocking and tackling, hitting hard and not practice soft like he has the past several years.

Auburn has defined itself beyond any shadow of a doubt, not that there was much (petrino, turberville, bowden, lowder (sp) to begin with. They have to live with it. It will be greatly to their detriment in a lot of areas for the foreseeable future. UGAs problems can be fixed, and while I am a huge Richt fan the stability of the program transcends the coach because the alumni that matter will not abide the win at all cost in spite of any principles approach the most influential Auburn alumni live by.

Georgia and Georgia Tech should swap head coaches. Georgia won a national championship in 1980 primarily because of running back Hershel Walker. Tech won a national championship in 1990 primarily because of passing quarterback Shawn Jones. Tech does better as a passing team and Georgia does better as a running team. Mark Richt should coach at Tech and Paul Johnson should develop his running offense at Georgia.

You hit it dead on the nail Bill. We can complain and nitpick about the O-line play and the occasional fumblitis (always at the worst possible moment, but those really are nitpicks. Overall the offence has performed outstanding.

The problem is the D right now is Square Pegs in round holes. I like grantham’s system, and I love the aggressiveness the D has shown at times, but until UGA gets a HOSS in the middle of the line, LB that stay home and tackle (Dent the one exception here), and DB’s that stay in their assignments and learn to tackle — the D is going to be vulnerable.

There are signs here and there of the light going on for xertain players, and there are times the scheme has produces big plays even with the players we have, but bottom line is the Dawgs need to recruit better and SMARTER 3-4 players. Until then the D will be erratic at best.

Most people thought that the only way for us to win would be to match Auburn score for score. We were able to do that right up to 28-28. Even so, I feared that when AU recovered the on-side kick, that was probably the play of the game (and yes, I was there at Jordon-Haire). Bill, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I fail to understand why we still play so much cover two, unless Grantham truly believes that we don’t have the athletes to man up.

The Auburn students thought Faloughi was faking the injury to give our defense time to catch a breath. It turns out they were wrong.

I don’t know how anybody stops that Auburn offense. If you key on Newton too much, there are some good backs who can take it outside, and he almost always did a run fake, even when he carried the ball. If the safeties cheat on the run, he has the ability to pass the ball and some decent receivers who will get open. Maybe Alabama will prove me wrong, but I don’t think they will handle it as well as LSU did. So, the only way to beat them is to outscore them.

I felt like we changed some things once we got the lead, but maybe that was the Auburn defense adjusting.

I agree with you that the safety play was weak- again. I feel like had our safety play been on par with Florida’s, we would have beat them. For several years, our secondary seems to be out of place and it may just be IQ, plain and simple. Ogletree is going to be a good one and he made some freshman mistakes. Rambo is a great athlete, but that athleticism doesn’t do much good when he is out of position.

Let’s wait and see what the NCAA does to wipe that grin off of Newton’s face. Then see if he can blow kisses!!!!!!!! Fairley has been allowed to bodyslam all season without repremand either from his coach or the officials. Ask Arkansas’ quarterback.
The officials should be sanctioned by the SEC for allowing the game to build to such emotion from both teams. I cannot blame the Georgia players from retaliating when Murray is blatantly late hit by Fairley. If he were in the NFL, he would be fined and sanctioned. If that is the case, then what is there to say about SEC officiating, especially when the team is destined to be in the championship game.
I cannot believe that the Florida/Georgia was a true college game compared to this one. I agree with Rex Robinson, The rivalry between UGA and Auburn of times past is over!!!
What a sorry college scene was viewed by all aspects of Auburn, from the Coach!!!! to the fans!!!!!
All I can say, is Roll Tide!!!!!!!!! Get revenge!!!!!!
Or allow Newton to blow kisses again!!!!!!
Sickening!!!!!!!!!!!

Alphare, as you said in the beginning of your response, Georgia would have needed 50 points to win…a lot of us would have predicted that, not because Cam Newton can’t be slowed down, but because the Georgia defense still needs an awful lot of work. That was the point of this blog. And Auburn has been slowed down before this season – Miss State and LSU have good defenses and held Auburn to a reasonable point total.

Auburn has played 8 of their 11 games at home and their road games have been at Ole Miss, at Miss State and at UK. Not exactly murderer’s row on the road and the barely escaped with 3 point wins in two of those games. I’m not an Alabama fan, but Auburn hasn’t faced a team anywhere close to Bama on the road this year. The Tide will have a plan in place to make Newton pay every time he runs the ball. Auburn is going down hard…and it’s just a matter of time before the NCAA hammer comes down as well. .

Bill, you can’t fault Richt for the onside kick. If you noticed their coverage team was on top of Boykin almost immediately as he could not get past the twenty several times. I maybe wrong but I remember Grantham saying we did not need a big NT if that is the case he might want to rethink that one. As for Fairley he continued to hit Murray late and on more than one attempt would put his hands under Murray’s legs as to pull Murray up and slam him down. AS for all the AU fans complaining about Richt, he is not the coach(Trooper Taylor) that ran onto the field to congrat his player (Fairley) as he made a fool of himself on national television. But hey within three years this loss will not be recognized because of CASH NEWTON.

The Defense is the problem and until we sign a big nose tackle, it will be the problem again next year. I don’t see them trying to recruit a big guy and the rest have already committed. I keep saying sometimes you have to venture out of your normal recruiting zone to get the talent you really need and UGA will not do it. The Secondary is a joke and I hope we do have some aggressive hard hitting CBs and S coming in next season. Lakatos and Grantham have got to fix this problem before the GT game. Rick James you are an idiot. I should put you on the field and drive you into the ground and see if you see it the same way. Most people who haven’t even touched the field shouldn’t even comment if they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. They should’ve broken both of his legs and he would have been kicked out of a NFL game. Since this is ok with everyone, UGA should start to play like this and i assure you they would regain dominance. UGA has to change their coaching philosphy if they want to regain their top SEC form. This pitty pat coaching will never win us anything.

2. Grantham choking.( the fact he was not punished is beyond comical)
3. AD arrested for DUI with a hooker in the passenger seat.
4. Stomping up and down on AU logo before game sat like the clarke county jail thugs they are.

5. The ENTIRE UGA team including coaches storms the field to get involved in a fight while AU is “classless for getting fired up on the sideline after beating the thugs from Athens.
6.. On 3 different occasions UGA fans tried to set toomers corner on fire Saturday night.

This is just in the last year and there are MANY MANY more examples of this.

You sir need to get a clue and look in the mirror at your own program before you even begin to think about calling another program “classless” There is not another program in the country that lacks class from top to bottom more than the University of Georgia.

BLOCK HIM, if you don’t want him hitting your qb GEORGIA!!!! ALL THE HITS but one, which was flagged, were PERFECTLY fair and were not penalized, which MEANS GEORGIA FANS, IT’S LEGAL, and no pansy whining will make it not legal. For ANY Georgia moron to call ANY other school classless, after the arrest and on the field actions of the Georgia program under Mark Richt, is truly laughable.

Mike-

Did you watch the tape? It was an appropriately penalized chop block but it was not a flagrant one. Not even a biased Tiger/Eagle/Plainsman fan could honestly compare that to Fairley’s attacks on Murray. In the NFL he’d be about $100,000 lighter in the wallet and would be suspended at least 1 to 2 games.

And Willie B has nothing to do with Fairley’s race. If you were raised in Atlanta and ever saw Willie B when he was in the glass cage, preening and strutting and pounding his chest, and thought about Fairley’s fat face that barely fits inside his helmet. you couldn’t miss the similarity.

He ACTS like Willie B much more than he even LOOKS like Willie B.

Bill-

Let’s be fair. This is year 1 with the 3-4. Grantham has Georgia’s scoring improved, total defense yards improved, in year 1, without the right body types to run it. It’s going to take some time. Maybe even until 2012 to get it down, the 3-4 is as complex as it gets.

But, you have, in Todd Grantham, the guy who Nick Saban tried to hire 2 times, the guy who taught Kirby Smart how to coach defense at Alabama in the off-seasons. Grantham can coach.

If you compare where Saban finished with his defense in 2007, in his first year putting in the 3-4, to where Grantham’s D will finish nastionally in his first year at Georgia, Grantham beats Saban in almost every stat.

Very few of the losses can you pin to Grantham, most were due to Aaron Murray getting sacked, overthrowing, getting off to slow starts, having a poor 4th quarter, or throwing interceptions. He’s a freshman, no surprise there either.

A few of the losses were due to AJ Green’s suspension, and Ealey and King’s fumbles.

But Grantham has improved the Georgia defense dramatically, and will likely beat Saban’s 1st year at Alabama in most categories.

Grantham was in charge of Outside LB’s and Houston has led the SEC in BOTH sacks and tackles for loss.

I’ve been very impressed with Grantham, and Belin, BElin has Georgia’s LB’s leading the SEC in tackling.

Lakotas will be a big improvement eventually when he gets his type of guys on there–Georgia is giving up a lot less big pass plays over the last 5 games, and Garner has sent so many guys to the NFL, there’s no doubt about his coaching, but Garner lost 3 DL to the NFL.

Bottom line, Grantham in 2010 beat Saban in 2007, that says a lot, as Saban is considered, or WAS considered, to be the #1 defensive guru in the country.

Not anymore.

Agree. The defense still cannot consistently stop anyone when it matters most. Our secondary is still atrocious, and I’m sick of it. I’m not sold on this 3-4 defense. We need more beef up-front. 290 lb Deangelo Tyson (god help him) is not cutting it. Then you have Dobbs (280 lb) and Abry Jones (290 lb). We need some 300 pounders. we could not even slow down Newton at all in the second half. It was sickening to watch.

Racist Galt,

Sure I watched the game. UGA’s player engaged Fairley and the other one took a shot at his knee. That’s what a chop block is. Trying to rationalize any of them is beyond insane. If I use that logic, what was the big deal with the late hit Fairley put on Murray’s back? Murray got up. Wasn’t that big a deal because nothing horrible happened.

The Dawgs failed to slow down Dyer and McCalebb. Newton was going to get his yards, but I mentioned earlier the key’s would be slowing down the rest of his merry men. The Dawgs defense could not maintain its spacing and play disciplined football on defense. Plenty of chances on 3rd down and the defense could not get itself off the field.

Offensively the game was called above average. Sure some questionable moments, the Smith insert and in the 4th quarter the are in a I formation w/ a TE and 2 WR down by at least 10. That was the play Ealy was tripped and we threw into the flats to Chappas.

Overall the team performed admirably. We got another gutsy effort out of the team and at this point in the season 5-5 and have that effort it shows a lot of heart. The stinging moment of the night was in the fact at how easily Florida was dominated by South Carolina.

The defense sucked but do not give any credit to the offense. The Auburn defense gives up an average of 25 points a game. Take away the one game they held a Div II team to 3 points and the average is around 31. Sound familiar? The school for the blind should have scored 25 points. If you are up 21 to 7, there is no way you should ever lose. Scoring 10 point over 45 minutes is the reason BoBo should resign and save us all from future embarrassments.

I didn’t learn much on Saturday, apart from the fact that Nick Fairley is trash and Coach Chizik is no better. The offense has, surprisingly, been playing really well since mid-season and has put enough points on the board to win pretty much every game since SC. Same story as last year, though, the defense has been subpar.

I’ve been saying all along that Grantham’s D will only work with players who are built for it. That can only come with recruiting. The coaching staff has a ton of work to do to make the 3-4 as effective as we want it to be. I’m not expecting a miracle turnaround next season. But give CTG the time he needs to build a winner. Remember how the transition went for Saban? Compare Bama’s 2007 record to that of 2008 and 2009.

George-

I’m sure you are a wise man, but there are different degrees of violations. Georgia has NEVER been on a no-TV no-bowl violation probation. And we have had major breeches of trust (Evans) and some student DUIs- all of which led to firings or expulsions.

You have a QB who was convicted of receiving stolen property (and knew it- that’s why he threw the PC out the window before he was arrested). He has warrants out for his arrest in FL- the BCS bowl isn’t in Florida is it? And the yet-to-be-proved allegations are growing daily; with his history, I’d be a little wary if I were you.

After the USC/Reggie Bush fiasco, the NCAA will crush AU if these allegations are true and Newton has continued to lie.

Bill-Maybe the reason for the booing was that it was the third time it happened in the game. All three times, the injured player stopped between the numbers on the field and the Georgia sideline and two of those times, the Georgia coaches were motioning for the player to get on the ground. All three players stayed on the ground for a brief period and sure looked fine when they left the field. If you were in the press box on the west side of the stadium, and you were paying attention, you would have seen this. Instead of trashing the fans, maybe Georgia should have gotten penalized for delay of game. It was pretty obvious. And yes, War Damn Eagle!

One thing I have learned reading these comments is that, as I suspected all along, Auburn fans are MORONS. Sure the fight was started by Bulldog players, but there was a reason and that was the continued dirty play of one player. It’s not like he didn’t deserve much more than he got.

Like I said the biggest thing to take from reading this blog is that Auburn willing to post here are stupid. They are like the Techies, win one in five and suddenly they are superior. Morons.

JAMES you are idiot #1 IF you knew ANYTHING about what a cut block was you’d know the call was a bad call. The lineman that was supposed to be “engaged” with your coward fat boy, was actually trying to pull and get away from him. Farley initiated the “engagement.” The UGA lineman wasn’t even facing him. If was Farley who had his hands on the lineman. The man who cut him was perfectly legal in doing so since he wasn’t “engaged” by another offensive player. Look at the tape moron. Look at it. If they had been trying to hurt hium all it would have taken is one guy to stand him up and the other to take the side of his knee out. It is the only time I have EVER wanted to see someone get hurt intentionally. And frankly I am ashamed of it but that’s not to say he didn’t deserve it.

And Bill why can’t you just say the loss wasn’t on the coaches? Why do you have to put all these “qualifiers” in there? Why don’t you apply for the job next time there is an opening since you are so smart?

Sounds like whoever wrote this article is a georgia homer! War damn eagle! i’ll concede that nick fairley may need to calm down a little and maybe be careful about driving the qbs in the ground on sacks and watch the late hits. But come on the hit to arron murray wasnt fairleys fault, he was being blocked into him. This wasn’t a question of who had the better coach, this was all about cam newton and nobody being able to stop him. Auburn has plenty of playmakers other than cam but he has obviously been the missing piece to the puzzle. Alabamas defense froma year ago would have trouble with this offense so I’m sure this years version of the crimson tide defense will be in trouble. I think alabama is going to find cam newton and chris todd are two totally differnt players. Let’s whip bama and you dawg homers lick your butt and get ready for tech

So, at Auburn there is a convicted thief and a classroom cheater and the Auburn fans love him because he is a good football player! I wonder how he would be treated at Auburn if he was NOT a good football player?

Now that’s unwavering and unbending standards from a community in south Alabama…that is honor, integrity and common human decency takes a backseat to football victories.

Congrats to Auburn for winning the West. Hopefully the Newton deal with not leave a dark mark on it. I’m still puzzled though, because we had plenty of Bama fans guaranteeing another NC this year. I’m not sure how the math works out for that at this point.

But to a much larger degree congrats to South Carolina and Steve Spurrier. I would prefer my Dawgs win the east every time (or again, hopefully soon) but it always seem to me that the SEC and it’s fans benefit when the torch gets passed around a bit. I know the SC fans have waited a while and they always seemed to be very loyal no matter what. And I admit UF NOT winning the East (as they all guaranteed as well) is some small consolation, if for no other reason than it hurts the tech fans feelings.

And another thing, Auburn should be hit with the lack of institutional control when this Newton thing comes out into the open.

When have we heard this before concerning AU? A broken record that keeps playing the same line over and over again.

It was Richt on the field telling the officials that the Auburn players had it coming. Stay classy UGA.

Lets see we have UGA fans calling Auburn dirty, what a surprise! what did you have over a period of the last year 20-30 arrest. You have one of he dirtiest lineman in the game who by the way got a penalty for an illegal chop block on Failrey, he had to do that cause he was getting his butt kicked all night. Was anyone surprised when half the UGA thugs came off the bench to brawl while all the AU players stayed behind the white line like a disciplined team does. Why does no one from GA bring p the fact that your #61 jumped on top of Fairley and dry humped him while he was down on the ground. That started the fight. This is what UGA has become a bunch of girls who cry abut every call and every game that does not go your way. You got beat by a better team live with it. You have to win to get to the big game something your team has not been able to do with more talent than most of the SEC. Just go back to being 3rd in the East where you have been for a long time. yes Bill War Damn Eagle!

When Murray got hurt, Fairley was blocked into him. Whether Fairley hit him late or not, the thUGA O-line started that fight. Oh, and how many times in the 4th did Richt walk well past the 25 and way out onto the field. Mark Richt can’t even spell the word discipline.

Auburn . . . or Florida 2010 won because Cam Newton ran right, ran left, and then threw over the top when our defense attempted to stop him.

Farley also got away with some D-holding (the announcer’s called one grab a great play somehow). I don’t mind the retalitation shots by our o-line but the first cut block was not planned. That can’t happen.

I’d like to address a few things. 1. How can any of you talk about class/behavior when UGA cleared the bench? That’s against the rules, they should have been tossed for leaving the sideline. 2. The player that was booed, was on his way off the field. Then all of a sudden just dropped, kind of funny that Richt was on his way on the field holding his hand up as if to stop him. Then Richt took the opportunity to go on the field, which he was on the field so much I thought he was another player. The fans were not booing the player, but the stunt that Richt pulled. I’m not going to say much more, if anything, because it’s like talking to a wall. Football is a sport where you are allowed to run as fast as you can and hit someone. There is nothing “clean” about the game (still love watching it). There were four personal fouls penalties on UGA and 4 on Auburn. I’ll leave with this thought, quit acting like UGA was so innocent. Your arguments would be better received if you openly admitted the late hits, chop blocks, emptying of the bench. Just sayin’. Pot meet kettle.

That Guy, I think the chop blocks were all on Fairley. That was because he kept trying to drive our QB into the ground after he had already thrown the ball. I personally have no problem giving it back to a guy that is doing that. Thats called protecting your QB. Kind of like pitchers throwing at hitters after one of theirs has been hit.

Bill I read the first paragraph and I couldn’t read more. your just as ignorant as the rest of the bulldog nation who criticizes play call. I agree with you about the branden smith play call but the screen to the short side of the field is a really good call. The boundary screen is a great call because you can isolate a safety if its two high and it can be man on man. If they go single safety you and they bring a blitz it gets more defenders out of the picture so your blockers have a good opportunity to get numbers and you have a great chance at getting a big play. If it isn’t executed then you wont get anything. Its a very safe play with chances for a great outcome. Bill your an idiot!

If we do not have a big nose in the system now and cannot get one from a JUCO, the 3-4 is not going to work. It takes at least 3 years for a DL coming out of high school to get big and strong enough to play in the SEC. The offense is going to have to out score folks to win the games the next several of years or we need to change to a 4-3.

Last year and this year most on these blogs have been blamed the coaching for the poor performances. The truth is that the Dawgs have been putting up enough points most games to win the games, last year and this year. As you say Bill, It is not the offense. And it has not been the coach as much as the inferior player talent. The presumption for many has been that UGA has had excellent recruiting years, but that is just what it is, presumption. The proof has been on the field and the current defensive players are not physically or mentally better than most opponents that they have played. A coach cannot change this fact. I know that it is difficult for people who live in Georgia to grasp but there is very good talent outside the state of Georgia even superior to much of the talent in Georgia. I think the key to turning this around will be in recruiting and that will take more time which most bloggers are unwilling to accept. But it also indicates that we need to overhaul the way we recruit.

Fairley is NFL quality in that he is very hard hitting just like Troy Polamalu or a Ray Lewis. Now as far as I am concerned, the ref’s got it right. Illegal hits were penalized on both sides of the ball. The ejections were correct but at the same time some UGA player(s) should’ve been ejected.

Wow, what a bunch of cry babies. We’re going to destroy the dawgs in 2 weeks.
Fairley had one hit where he was a step late, and he was rightfully penalized. The rest were just hard hits. I know you dawgs want your QB to wear a skirt, but getting “driven to the ground” is legal. The helmet to the knee happened when he was getting shoved to the ground, for pete’s sake. You train every DL to keep their momentum driving toward the QB whenever they are being blocked to the ground.
What everybody else but dawg fans saw was Georgia playing dirty. You want to see a dangerous, dirty play, how about those chop blocks? Then Georgia started the fights on the last 2 plays with dirty shots. The whole country saw one sideline stay put, and the other rush out like gang members, looking for a fight because they lost.
We also saw the injured player make it to the sidelines, then get told by the coaches to stay on the field, so they could get their defense a breather. That deserved to be booed, not the injury but the coach making him stay in the field of play when he obviously was about to make it off.
Your team commited the most egregious act of poor sportsmanship in years, when the staff sent the whole team onto the field. Until you get rid of that coach, you have no right to criticize any other team.
We will beat you bunch of pansies by 3 TD’s. I can’t wait to see the excuses, you crybabies.

They love that thugery type player. Alot of coaches go after that big, hard hitting, cheap shot hoodlum. Remember Lyle Alzado? Bill Romanaski? (spelling?) The Oakland Raiders had two defensive players that would bet each other as to who would be the first to put a player out of a game. One wrote a book titled “THEY CALL ME ASSASSIN”. Can’t remember his name, but he hit one of the N.E. Patr. players so hard his neck was broken.(in the 70’s). And from what I understand he never called the injured player to apologize or find out how he was doing. Its a rough game but some players go overboard.

I agree that Bobo and Richt did not cause us to lose to Auburn, but I could not stop cursing last night when Bobo stupidly placed Branden Smith under Center in the wildcat, when Auburn could not stop our offense.
You mentioned that Grantham has done a good job, but I have to disagree.
At the time when he was introduced he promised that the defense would be aggressive, that he would play an attacking style, but in the second half of this game they all stood around and reacted to Newton. If you are to look back at the game you would see how often Newton got the ball and stood there before he started his run. We have seen several games played by Auburn and should realize that Newton is going to be more than 50% of their offense i.e running the ball, yet he did nothing to counter that. In the first half we were successful when we attacked them albeit there were some drop passes by their receivers.
I will not even mention the name of that Auburn D.tackle who seemed bent on hurting Murray.

The truth of the matter is that Georgia got it’s butt kicked and then was bit@h slapped and the indignity is eating them alive.

It was a tough game. Georgia played valiantly — but just doesn’t measure up to SEC standards — and that has to be laid at the feet of the coaching staff.

SEC is smash-mouth football and has no room for whiners.

And, to talk about Auburn thugs — how many Auburn players have been arrested in the past couple of years? I think the total for Georgia is somewhere around 16.

And, again, that lack of discipline is to be laid at the feet of the coaching staff.

Georgia was sent back across the Chattahoochee with it’s tail between it’s legs and needs to man up!

Bill, suppose we could take a mulligan and redo the entire season with just one change. That change is playing the season with Terry Houge at saftey. Think about it, game by game, and what would the revised season look like?

I think there are serious foundation issues with our program and Coach Richt must address these. But how much better would we have been with good safety play throughout the season? Think about how many points were either scored or set up by blown coverages and missed tackles from that position. Now I don’t know if its the scheme, coaching, inferior talent or player attitude but I think if we can fix that position we’re at least 4 games better off.

The ‘ol ball coach pretty much summed things up after winning the SEC East Saturday. In the locker room he said,”… nobody dropped a ball and no one did anything stupid … and we won.”

We win at least 2 more game early this year if these same guys were in thier second year. It was very clear they just didn’t know what to do at full speed. We might reach a point next year where we run up against much better talent and lose the game, but we aren’t going to see guys standing around asking each other who is supposed to be doing what.

Let’s not forget that this was also the first year giving instruction in the 3-4 for some of the new coaches. Not sure how big of a deal that it’s not going to be Grantham first year running a bunch of college boys, but at least its not going to be that on top of everythign else.

Actually considering we didn’t have a single All-SEC selection going in , and everybody is basically learning, they really haven’t done that bad.

Why is no one talking about the two (one called one not called) chop blocks against Fairley. You call us thugs and classless. Where were all of you hyprocrites when Knowshon Marino was dancing and making an ass out of himself at the blackout game. That is ok for him to rub it in. Its ok for him to taunt Auburn, but God forbid anyone do anything to the freaking UGA nation.

since Saturday you lovely bunch of people have threatened Auburn next year when they come to Athens. Let me tell you, Athens is a horrible place to come if you are a visitor, so it ain’t like you could do a lot more to make it any more miserable than it already is.

Look no further than Mark Richt and the Georgia announcers for this mess. They planted the seed that Fairley did some questionable things and while i agree a couple of the hits were unnecessary, they were not illegal and the refs did not throw a flag. But Georgia had to take things into their own hands. Richt has no control over this team.

Bill, you are so right about our Safety play this season. We all knew we would have problems at the Nose, but the safeties? Williams is the only Safety that has played reasonably well, and we let Ogletree start. How about Ogletree and Williams playing back there? Dump Rambo.

Ogletree was often the “spy” to Newton, yet he continually took himself out of the play. Hamilton was a bust. Georgia has no where to turn for next season except to the Juco route for Safeties and Nose Tackles.

We also lose Dent at LB, Gamble and likely Houston. Wow there is nothing left on the Defensive side of the ball. It will be a long season next year.

Bob in Buford and Mike are typical of the Georgia and Auburn fans that don’t want the truth. They want to place all of the blame on each other’s team. It’s good that you Ga. fans have such a classy coach, because both of you want to blame, instead of doing the fair thing like Mark Richt has always done.

Truth-Georgia did a chop block on Au. Forget that?
Truth-AU was wrong to hit ga players with their fists.
Truth-The offical ejected 2 AU players that was needed. but they did not eject numner 60 of Gerogia for the same infraction. Look at the tape.
Truth-Farly got thrown into the quarterback’s legs before the scuffle on a block. i think it was a Ga. player that blocked him.Check the tape.
Truth- Fairly was targeted by 3 Georgia players as he lay on the ground.
no one called a penalty on that danger.???

Before you call AU dirty…Go look at the game. Some Georgia and some Auburn players were dirty,. Not all Georgia and Auburn players were dirty.

Be classy and fair.

Our line is substandard, I truly don’t think it’s the kid’s fault, they are a talented bunch. I think Searles is not putting them in a good position to jell by starting a different crew every week, and moving them around to different positions constantly. Our running backs are vastly, and I mean vastly overrated. Caleb or Washaun would only be able to start for maybe 5 or 6 teams in the SEC. I know they would be helped by having room to run, but a great back, i.e. Moreno, gets yards whether he has huge holes or not.
Defensively, Rambo has not been the same since having his lights turned out against Auburn last year. I can’t really fault the kid, being knocked out on the field is hard to get over. Watching him run alongside Newton from the five yard line to the end zone on Auburn’s first touchdown is hard to get over, as well. No nose tackle worth his JUCO salt is coming to Georgia when there are other, more productive teams out there to play with. Perhaps Bean Anderson can stay healthy. He is a perfect body type to play the spot. I just truly worry what our O is going to do next year with no AJ.
And, ONCE AGAIN, the excuse coming out of spring ball will be ;our O line is awfully young’. This happens every couple of years, and the coaches seem unable to prepare for it. I like CMR, big fan, but his staff seems overwhelmed at times. Perhaps we’re just on a bad run of luck, but I really think his leash has got to be tightened to the ‘one more year’ point. Bottom line is you can’t pay a coach 2.5 -3 mil a year and go 6-6 for very long.

It was a great win for my Auburn team on Saturday, however, what has been lost has been the play of Aaron Murray. I would be excited as a Dawg knowing this talented QB will be around for at least a few good years, he’s probably the best young QB in the NCAA for years to come; I think the Dawg defense will be much better next year; both GT and UGA have new defensive systems that will take some some to implement, we’ll see.

Bill great article , from the pre game announcement that Cam was starting and the Barners gleeful reaction the mood was set. Cam a great player and from his playing to the crowd to his play on the field he was just superb. Cam is not the reason so many UGA fans are so p.o’d about this game, in the end we lost to a better all around team, its the again classless way the rest of the Auburn team and coaches played..hell Cam was a model opponent compared to his coach. That being said I hope the kid is clean and Auburn gets to keep this years record intact winning record intact..they have sold their souls to get it. The more Auburn wins the more the Chiz acts like a school house bully and encourages his players to follow his lead.

jcatl sorry that dog won’t hunt..he has his players back I got that and I fully agree he should.

Allowing that “player” to strut around the field acting the way he was a direct challenge to a group of proud young men, that no one got hurt was more luck than design. There was a lot of sympathy for Auburn’s stance on Cam among the UGA nation prior to this game I’m afraid a lot of that has dissipated along with our respect for the Auburn program in general, Auburn has adopted a “us against the world” attitude due to this issue…and the actions of a few coaches and players Saturday has moved that closer to the truth.

Pay him minimum wage and let assistants be volunteer assistants and we likely win 5 games so exactly what are we paying this man to do????

I personally think the SEC commissioner should be looking more closely at #90–Fairley and his over aggressiveness. The block he gave Murray in the back would get him thrown out of the game and suspended for most of the season if he did it in the NFL. Why is he getting away with it in college football? Those kind of hits can end a career in a hurry and possible even paralyze the player. I have watched Auburn all year (my husband is a big Auburn Fan) and have seen this over and over from Fairley. His late hits have been called rarely but they are happening almost every play. I have pulled for Auburn when they aren’t playing MY DAWGS but not anymore while Fairley is on the team.
I think Coach Bobo and Rich did an excellent job. I don’t believe either got out coached by Auburn’s coach. If our defense played half as good we would have a winning season. I know we have a new coach–very high paid one at that. We expect to be on top immediately but as we have seen this year it may take another year or so for Georgia to become Defensive Powerhouses. Hopefully we will get some big defensive guys to sign with Georgia for next year.
Bill I love your column and feel this one was right on the money. Keep them coming.

I can assure AU trolls that if GA had a #90 who kept driving their Heisman candidate QB into the ground taking 2-3 steps after he released the ball before hitting him, then they would be crying bloody murder on their blog site too (if they even have one). Don’t pretend you wouldn’t. Geesh!!

Grantham missed an excellent opportunity to instill confidence in GA fans that his 3-4 scheme will oneday work but for whatever reasons he couldn’t pull it off. Maybe it was the players, maybe it’s the scheme, I don’t guess it’s Granthams fault when AU receivers are wide open or is it? But it did seem like there was no one within 5 yards of Cam Newton whenever he wanted to run. Couldn’t defend the pass or the run, makes for a long day. Great athlete admittedly but the worse part was that he smiled on every play,never was hit hard or worried at any point.(Invincible)He dictated all day.

From the beginning of Saturday’s game, the Georgia thugs were provoking Auburn with their trash talking and dirty play. That’s not Auburn’s style, but you consistenly see it with Georgia. The Dogs go what they deserved…a physical ass kicking. Richt recruits punks and and he’s week on discipline. That’s a recipe for disaster and it’s catching up with him. Chizik appologized and was embarassed about the near brawl. Richt has said nothing and his bunch of thugs provoked the Auburn players the entire game.

You are dead on about the type of players currently on the defense. They are weak and can not stick to simple assignment football.

You tell ‘em Bill King. I agree with what you said. Richt had us ready and our offense played pretty well but our defense just didn’t have the horses to stop Newton, who played great once again. Fairley on the other hand is an extremely dirty player and I’ve seen him dirty all year, especially in the Auburn/LSU game. Go Dawgs and at least Tech can’t talk trash when Miami smoked them (though I realize their best player was out)… Join the facebook group SUSPEND NICK FAIRLEY. Thanks.

I’ll start off saying this, Georgia has it’s own problems that have to be corrected and corrected quickly. The lack of discipline and structure have slowly been the demise of this team. However, UGA continues to recruit to athletes. All that being said Auburn doesn’t have a leg to stand own. Let the record show that Auburn DID have the best team in 2004 and got the ultimate shun when it came to the BCS Title game and the Title itself. In 2004 had it been any other team in the SEC like Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia or LSU, those team would have been in the title game and thus crowned National Champion. Read the SI article about Bobby Lowder and let the rest speak for itself. There is a lack of respect in CF towards Auburn – PERIOD.

Auburn ran off Terry Bowden because he didn’t conform to the regime. They were Pat Dye’s recruits but he still took the undefeated. Chizik will most likely go undefeated, but aren’t most of these kids Tubberville’s recruits? He took Auburn undefeated and would have won a NC had it not been for the lack of respect from the establishment of College Football. Tubberville was 85-40 while at Auburn garnering a 68% which isn’t far from Pat Dye’s 99-39 or 71% winning percentage.

The way Auburn treats their coaches, JET GATE, ERIC RAMSEY, Porter and now possibly CN

Finally, the Auburn family better hope nothing comes of the CN story.

Just think about it.

Our defense just plain suks. Those guys would have a hard time stopping any div 1 program. Back in the old days we had some mean dusdes on defenese, meat cleaver Eddie Weaver, DA MAN Goldberg, Scott Woerner,Terry Hoage, Jeff sanchez, Champ bailey and a host of others. How come we ain’t getting those types any more. Goldberg would have delivered a few bone crushing hits on Cam for sure. Hopefullky Todd will broaden our defensive recruiting base like Dooley did and go get some Texas / Oklahoma boys like Dooley/ Russell did. we were horrible on defense!!

My thoughts:
1. CMR played it correctly at the end of the game. He showed class.
2. Rambo is overrated, should be called bimbo.
3. Our qb Murray is talented, brave, and determined.
4. Chitzik and his clan are a bunch of thugs.
5. Auburn #90 should be suspended indefinitely by the SEC.

Did anyone else hear the TV announcer say that “Not calling personal fouls is why things like this happen” after the Georgia O-line tackled Fairley. Officiating this year has sucked and not just in the SEC. And, yes, I did hear the announcer say that the UGA coaches were telling the kid to stay down. Sad to say it, but it seems “sportsmanship” is an antiquated term, too. College football used to be fun and I enjoyed all the rivalries, even rooting for Florida, Auburn, other SEC teams as long as they were playing someone besides UGA. Now, it’s just ugly and thats too bad. One last thing, is anyone else SICK AND TIRED OF THE “UNANSWERED POINTS” catch phrase? God Help us, please! And its always used when the team that was DOWN by 10, 14, 17, 24, pick a number, managed to score some points. You NEVER hear it used when a team is up 10, 14, 17, 24, pick a number to 0. Example: UGA 21 – Auburn 7 – no mention of “14 unanswered points by Georgia.” Auburn ties score – “Thats 14 unanswered points by Auburn.” Thats just my example, same thing happend in the Texas A&M – Baylor game, or any other game. OK, I’m off my soapbox. God Bless America!

First: the Death Penalty is off the table. Be smart: the NCAA has already said they’d never do that again, and why in the heck would they kill the cash cow that is SEC Football???

Second: Fairley was repeatedly hitting Murray after he released the ball and DRIVING HIM INTO THE GROUND several times, including a couple in the first quarter (before the chop block, if you’re keeping track). That is an attempt to injure, and is ‘dirty’. There’s no defense. And this isn’t an opinion of just the UGA fans: National pundits covered it as well. That he wasn’t taken aside and told to stop by his coaches is why Auburn is pretty much universally loathed by Georgia fans today.

Third: I didn’t see the coach pointing to the ground, and even if I did, I would guess that he was telling the kid to not take a chance and let the trainers check it out. The fact is that- at that point- the extra time wasn’t going to help UGA anyway, so the AU fans booing was classless and ludicrous.

Fourth: Cam Newton clearly has a sense of entitlement, the way he consistently celebrated with the crowd rather than his teammates.

It just was a really ugly, classless performance by Auburn, and given that the FBI is now investigating the Cam Newton situation, I don’t think this ends well for Auburn. Kind of sad to me at least, because I literally almost went to Auburn instead of Georgia…

We’ll beat the nerds by 3 touchdowns and be back with a vengance next year. I wouldn’t be surprised if we win our 5th national championship in 2011 – just sayin’.

UGA has the best tradetion of winning in all of college football, so we’ll be back.

GO DAWGS!

I am sure ole N. Saban and his guys are going to figure out a way to keep their QB from getting crushed in the back especially when or if they are already down 18 points. I also can’t believe UGA didn’t try to score in the last 50 seconds of the first half, then came out completely unprepared for the onside kick at the start of the 2nd staff and finally kicking a field goal instead of actually trying to win the game and keep our defense off the field….once again it came down to coaching and Gene but up on CMR

It is tough to beat the best team money can buy. However, this win, along with all the others this season will be vacated when the NCAA is finished confirming that Cecil Newton actually did ask for money. The real question is just how much was really paid. I will say it was a brilliant move to play a player after being notified before the game there were eligibility issues. I’m sure that will gain a lot of favor from the NCAA enforcement guys. Of course, without Cam, they lose anyway, but at least they would show some good faith in handling the situation. As it is, they have demonstrated bad faith. Winning is obviously more important than doing the right thing. The penalties could be pretty gruesome when this is all finished with. Maybe CGC can get a job in the NFL – maybe as head coach at Seattle. After these forfeitures are on the books, his record at Iowa State may not look so bad.

Actually I feel bad for the many friends and relatives of mine who are Auburn grads and fans. They are good folks. None of them is happy about any of this. They’ve expressed embarrassment, especially about the school’s decision to play Cam even after being told he might be ineligible. Several have let me know how bad they feel about how dirty Fairly played. I’ve told them he is not representative of Auburn, but CGC needs to take action to correct such behavior. He needs to condemn it it no uncertain terms. One of my best friends ever played linebacker for Auburn for Coach Jordan (a fine man) and tells me Shug would have not put up with that crap. I sadly told my friend since childhood, “Well, I’m not expecting any such action from your current coach.” I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Kevin – I hope you are right about your coach doing the right thing. That will surprise me based on his apparent approval by letting Fairley continue to play after a clear cheap shot designed to intentionally injure another player. Also, I must say it is pretty weak, not to mention uncalled for, to blame your team”s dirty play on the other team. No one else has tried to intentionally injure any of our players this year. The guys in the national media have certainly made it clear how inappropriate Fairley’s hit in the back of Murray with his helmet was. I don’t expect gutless Slive to do anything. Therefore, the only way Fairley gets appropriately punished is for CGC to do what needs to be done. To date, he has not indicated he has the wherewith-all to do that, but maybe you are right.

As for our obviously poor record, what do you think your record would be without Cam? CMR did not play AJ when told their were eligibility issues. I think our record would be much better if he had played those 4 games. I assume you get my point.

Again, I hope this all works out for Auburn. I also hope CGC steps up and does the right thing. You seem to think he will, I hope you are right.

Bill, I think Richt & Bobo did get outcoached. The evidence: 50 sec left in the first half – You’ve got the best receiver in college football, The best field goal kicker in the SEC, facing the worst secondary in the SEC in a game that you knew every point was important and you run out the clock. Then, Auburn takes the ball our of your hands to open the second half with an on-side kick. That’s two possessions you squandered. I call that being out coached!

Lost any respect for Fairley during the LSU game. Researched Fairley. Found this snipet. Thought you Dawgs would ‘enoy’ a peek into the mind of Fairley :

>>> There was the Fairley and Bynes sack of Lee in the first half, the piledriver Fairley put on Lee on an incompletion that sent the LSU signal-caller to the sidelines for a couple of series and the two times the Auburn junior got to Jefferson in the backfield.

The most emphatic hit of the day didn’t even count, when Fairley peeled off the guard, tracked Jefferson down and lit him up. A full two seconds after the whistle blew for an LSU procedure penalty.

“Coach Rocker asked me, ‘Why you always trying to slam the quarterback?’ Fairley said. “And I was like, ‘When you’re in a fight with somebody and you slam them, you take the heart out of them.’”

Or, to put it more simply: “I did all this work, I got to hit you. You know?”

Todd Grantham pulling those corners back 20 yards is like giving a team 1st downs and eating up yards. Todd why do u do that? Ogletree and Vance Cuff are terrible at coverage and you should know that and make adjustments.
Put Branden Smith on one on one coverage and double team. I hate the zone coverage, those guys go back 10-15 yards and you know the QB is gonna throw underneath. When the other teams hike the ball and their tight end and RB come out on the flats why dont you let the LB’s cross on the play?
This may result in an interception or an immediate tackle with a few yards gained. Plus coming across and putting a hard hit might make that player think twice about catching a pass the next time.
We know that their gonna dump the ball for short gains because these are high percentage plays and you dont have to do this every play, just mix it up.
Dont do the usual usual coverage……….. go 5 instead of 10 yards, go 12 instead of 15. Play up and jam the wideouts before they take off to disrupt or delay the pattern.
Oh yeah this off season you guys need to find a RB more like Moreno Herschel Walker type because Washaun is too timid running. Richt came from a passing team Florida State and Bobo was a QB and they both like to pass the ball instead of running.

And Ga. chopblocking all night (feel like I need to wash my hands because of the dirtiness of Ga’s line play) isn’t dirty? 1 called…4 more observed. cmon…it’s what led to the Aubie’s finally getting fed up with it. There was enough dirty play to go around…but that’s the whole SEC as far as I’m concerned (INCLUDING Ga and Auburn)…..This from one who doesn’t even have a pony in the race.
