Frankly, I’ve never understood how anyone – even an alumnus – could support and take pride in UGA’s football team. When you look at their history for the past forty years, how can anyone ignore Jan Kemp and the “remedial studies” scam, the Jim Harrick fiasco, the DUIs in the athletic office, the DUIs and other arrests of players, the #1 party school tag (i.e., the most drunk students), the suspensions and outright dismissals, the Fulmer Cup, and on and on?

As disgraceful and humiliating as it is, I don’t see many alums and fans demanding an end to this sordid activity. It sets UGA apart as the kind of school decent people abhor, and it’s become an embarrassment to the whole state of Georgia.

Will it never end? Apparently not while the inept Mark Richt is at UGA. Richt is perhaps the biggest hypocrite in the United States. But even with all the cheating and lawlessness that he ignores, he still can’t win the SEC.

So you’re paying him to be BCS champions, but he can’t even win his SEC division. So why do you pay him millions of dollars a year?

Just asking.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Also, the people who change their opinions on players with every minor report out of camp and swing wildly from one extreme to the other are almost exclusively children/teenagers, or frighteningly childish adults. Reasonable people understand that you cannot freak out over every minor report from camp. “OMG Crowell is LA-Z…Richt cant recriut!!!!!” is not something someone who can actually afford the contributions themselves (not their parents) would ever write.

Here’s what will happen:
Richt will keep talking about how much better Crowell’s getting from now until opening day, then Crowell will start. I’ve seen it too many times. Once Richt makes his mind up, he doesn’t change it. Doesn’t mean Crowell’s improving, just Richt’s way of not giving him the position right away. Same with John Jenkins. Remember when Richt talked about that QB battle a few Springs ago and then anninted Murray, as we all expected, after Gray & Mettenberger beat Murray? Coach Richt makes his mind up early, and doesn’t change, regardless of how these guys perform. Lemay & Mason could play like Tom Brady from now until Sept 2, and Murray’s starting. Just the way Richt is. And that’s not a good thing. And we saw what happens when you go with your 3rd best option at a position, like Richt did with Murray last year, 6-7, winless against winning teams.

I actually think Samuel is a better more durable back like Lattimore. Samuel got 4.5 ypc as a starter, Lattimore was 4.8 ypc. Pretty close. Crowell was injury prone in high school and Samuel’s been tough. I think Samuel’s time at LB will prove to be the difference in his ability to read defenses.

Elsie,

You can bemoan Richt’s method and style of awarding positions if you wish. Most who know me, know I am no longer his great supporter but, he’s the coach and if he wishes to refrain from assigning a #1 until they prove their worth in a game so what? He’s the coach. I happen to agree with it. You have 3 guys that want it bad, give all a chance to prove it both in practice and in the game. He doesn’t have to “crown” a TB just because you think he should.

You guys claiming you can predict Bobos calls, I’m sure can, at the exact pace that ANY college football fan can predict thier own teams tendencies.

I’d be willing to bet if you looked at the play by play for the entire season, your count of the number of times Carlton Thomas ran up the middle on 3rd and long was well short of your perception. And I’d further be willing to bet it was on our side of the field where a TO would have been the worst thing possible. It also still puzzles me why folks who presumably understand the game and specifically how our offense has worked for 10 yrs, still pretend that the OC dictate exactly where the play is going on every down and distance.

Murray bailed out to the draw play when he saw no other options that he felt comfortable with, JUST LIKE Stafford did his first year.

Elsie: That is just wrong and another annoying aspect of many UGA fans. We saw the G-Day game and only the G-Day game as an indication of how the QBs stacked up. Richt and the rest of the staff saw them in every practice; yet, you think that your two hours of spectating means you know better than the coaches who should start.

That is an awful lot of hubris and that is a strange example to use since it was undoubtedly the right choice. Mason better than Murray? Idiotic. Also, I am willing to bet that Samuel starts against BS and they split time approximately equally, depending on what happens between now and then.

On G-Day, Lemay looked the best, then Mason, then Murray. Murray took a safety on the 1st play, didn’t score a td (oh yeah, B. Smith scored 1 on the 1 yard pass B. Smith turned into a TD). Murray missed on G-Day on EVERY DEEP PASS. Murray couldn’t RUN AUDIBLE on G-Day, backs had a terrible game. Mason threw more td’s than Murray over Spring this year. Lemay & Mason BOTH had late game scores on G-Day, Murray didn’t. Murray played good in the 3rd quarter, then again, he always does. Murray is Mr. 3rd Quarter.

I’ve heard enough from the armchair coaches out there who continue to blast Bobo for his play calling. It’s the execution of the play that make a coach either look like a genius, or a boob. In reality, fans criticize Bobo for his play calling, and they have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. Certain plays must be avoided when personnel packages are hindered by injuries, suspensions, etc. On other plays, a player misses an assignment, runs the wrong play, etc. The bottom line is Bobo will look like a genius if this OL blows open holes, and protects Murray. So until you have a knowledge of what is going on with the players, shut up! Bobo is one of our own, a true Dawg!

I would love to see a power/goalline set for the dawgs this year. Murray at QB, A tackle lining up as a TE, Figgins lining up as another TE on the opposite side of the line. Behind Murray would be Geathers and Jenkins lining up as twin fullbacks, and then Samuel lining up behind them as the lone running back. The smallest player outside of Murray would be Samuel at 6′2 240 and running a 4.5. How would you like to see 600+ pounds of Kwame Geathers and John Jenkins running at you? I bet the field would collapse under the weight! Loving the possibilities on short yard and goalline situations!

Samuel was a good TB 2 years ago and he’ll be a better one now. There were a different set of dynamics then as opposed to now. Stop with the poo poo on the guys ability. He was very strong in speed and strength. Areas that King and Ealy lacked. Samuel’s weakness could have easily been corrected given the time, vision and holding on to the football. Rather than be 3rd for playing time, he opted for defense because he CAN. He has the ability there also. The guys an athlete and he’ll leave his mark on the Jorts this year.

Wow! All the hate toward UGA’s OC – Bobo.

Did’nt UGA average 32 points per game last season with a feshman QB – questionable O-Line, inconsistent and underachieving RB’s?

The issues last year – from my opinion- was a defense that was in transistion – a group of players that were not disciplined away from the field and on the field – which all effected the ability to turn this unit into a team. And one last important element was leadership – from players and coaches.

Nothing like 6-7 to provide clarity and enable the coaching staff to focus on the true issues as to why a program is underachieving.

“Team” was inconsistent – more of a rebuild last year in that UGA should have won 8 regular season games and won their bowl game = 9 wins.

So – what now?
I have to be impressed that CMR has changed S&C, let go players that were not “all in”, had a great recruiting class with very athletic kids that can impact the team – and moved personnel around to better the team.

So – what’s the payoff?
– no arrests this year
– new focus and energy for the team
– better leadership from players and coaches

All of this will mean better results on the field.

However, UGA starts off the season with back to back killer games – and UGA needs some like action to develop continuity due to the large amount of areas that are being upgraded.

So – I figure UGA will lose to Boise – and that game will improve the team – but will it be enough to be better than South Carolina???? I am not so sure – but we will find out!

The scary thing about South Carolina is that their Defense will be better this year – and the team, the staff – and Spurrier KNOW that they can beat Georgia – this is huge and has been South Carolina’s downfall for many years. Kind of like FLORIDA knows it can beat UGA – and have done so at will – even when UGA had the better team.

If UGA can gain a real sense of confidence and urgency, I see a reason to expect big things out of the offense and defense. I’d rank biggest team concerns as #1) Mike Bobo play calling, #2) O-Line depth, #3) consistent D-Line pressure, and #4) Murray reaching true “clutch” status in the big moments against teams from the state of Florida.

Boise State deserves recognition as a top 25 team, but I STILL think they’ve lived in the BCS limelight by not playing a full big conference schedule. There are a thousand reasons to be pessimistic about UGA after what they’ve shown the last two years, but Murray is a gamer like Boise, and I don’t think Boise will have enough offense to match what UGA will do on offense and special teams.

Put it another way, reviewing Murray’s 5 Clutch Game Performances against the 5 2010 ranked teams (SC/Ark,Miss St/Aub/UCF), we can predict Murray’s Td production:

40% chance he throws 0 Td’s (Probably against SC, they have a great D-Line & Gilmore DB)
40% chance he throws 1 td
20% chance he throws 3 td’s (Probably against Boise, they tend to get in shootouts a lot)

100% chance he loses the game (0-5 record last year)

Blank. Simply because after Boise State and USC, Murray will become UGA’s latest failed experiment at QB. He may work out okay with the scout team, but more likely he’ll be getting splinters from warming his butt on the bench the rest of the season. Murray is simply not a winning FBS QB, and that will be painfully clear four weeks from now.

Moore is fantastic but Pettus and Young were great WR’s-both drafted.

This will be unlike any atmosphere they have seen. I try to realistic in my predictions. I predicted that we would hang with Auburn for awhile and auburn would wear us down which they did.

I say we win because of our defense and our kicking game

Too much reading of blogs and message boards Bill. When there is no news people make up news to stay connected.

When there is a slump everyone wants to find a reason for it and a solution.

In the absense of games nonsense prevails.

Get a clue Kool aid drinkers, Moore is 38-2 record as a starter, Boise has only lost 1 game against ranked teams in the last severals YEARS and Mark Richt is 2-9 against ranked teams, 0-5 last season was Richt. Boise is picked to win in every projection out.

———————————————————————————————————————————

You play the game on the field not in the papers or magazines so I really don’t give a damn what the projections are saying!!!!!!

Varsity Blue get your facts straight. Murray is 6′1″ 210 lbs. Moore is listed at 6′ 190

If you’ve ever seen Murray stand beside Mason or Lemay, you know he’s not 6′ 1”. Last time I checked, Boise’s coach doesn’t put a 6′6” 300 lb Fullback in front of the passing at Fullback for Moore. Further, don’t ever breathe Murray & Moore in the same breath. Moore is 38-2 as a starter, Murray has yet to beat a winning team. Commence your Kool aid drinking.

Ceasar that seems to be closer to the truth than 6-1. You know the only time to trust the #s is when the players go to the NFL Combines. Before that I think most of the players times, height, and weight are pretty suspect.

Looks like Murray still can’t figure out how to score td’s, even against the #2 defense.

0 Td’s against 2nd team defense.

Embarrasing.

Uh-Oh, kool aid drinkers, whatcha gonna do now?

Q: What’s the difference between a drunken, unruly flash mob and the crowd at a UGA home game?

A: There’s a difference?

@Lovliest villager this from a fan of a bunch that turned fire hose on middle aged men and women who’s biggest crime was watching UGA kick that Barner butt….classy as always that’s the Barner way.

Lovely. The UGA journalism school already cranks out a depressingly large number of left-wing jerkoffs, now it’s getting Cynthia Tucker, one of Obama’s biggest suck-ups.

Just lovely, ain’t it.

Who’s next at UGA’s journalism school?…..Terrance Moore and his “it’s all about race” crap.

Quit blaming Bobo, if we have a coaching problem it starts at the top. Even if you accept the argument that Bobo’s playcalling is the problem (I don’t), isn’t it the head coach’s job to properly evaluate the coaches under him and put the right men in the right places?

And if I recall correctly, Richt wasn’t exactly lighting it up as a playcaller when he turned the offense over to Bobo. I think the stated reason was that he needed to spend more time in the “CEO” role and manage the whole program. Richt obviously thinks Bobo is a better option than himself, which should tell you something.

You didn’t expect to get the truth and facts from a Dawg did you?
Cynthia Tucker Teaching at UGA is a perfect fit. She will try to get all those white women to to buy into her race baiting liberal views.

ugab, don’t forget Garner predates Richt. Donnan hired him, which means he coached Stroud, Seymour, Grant, Johnson, Sullivan, Golston, all of which spend time in the NFL and all had or are still having big impacts in the NFL, except for Sullivan, who despite being a first rounder, was a total bust in the NFL due to laziness. Garner can coach. I don’t know what other issues he may/may not have, but give him his due as a DL coach.

I have been seeing a lot of articles about how good the Dawgs will be this season. I will believe it when I see it. I am still smarting from the last three seasons (which coincided with my daughter’s final three years at UGA). I reserve my opinion until I see some REAL results (actual WINS).

Boise State 222, UGA 0 >>>> The beatdown of the year.

After the game, a UGA player who reads, writes, and speaks at a 4th grade level will be interviewed on TV, and millions of viewers will wonder why Mark Richt recruits these dummies and why UGA admits them.

It makes you long for the days when ethical UGA coaches like Wallace Butts and Harry Mehre recruited literate athletes who actually earned serious college degrees.

If you doubt this, go back and read Caleb King’s farewell tweet. The guy couldn’t even write a coherent sentence. This simpleton should have been sweeping floors somewhere, not enrolled in college.

Mark Richt and the University of Georgia are a disgrace to this state.

Oh, I forgot… red panties!

Tereza,

Below is an accurate description of you. Go away moron. But before you do, want to put a real bet on the score of the Boise-UGA game you made above?

If you don’t know what the term means, “troll” refers to an online personality that uses his/her anonymity to “bait” users or turn valid discussions into full-blown arguments.
Don’t take the bait, UGA supporters.

GO DAWGS
