Still@theKool-aidBAR -
Using the polls, Georgia is #5 in the SEC. But Alabama, Arkansas, and South Carolina did not lose the SEC Championship Game. So the argument could be made that Georgia was the #2 team in the SEC, as they were the Championship Game runner-up. It’s all a matter of perspective.

@Shut Up…based on the last Sagarin strength of schedule, Georgia had the 27th toughest strength of schedule. If your aunt had balls she would be your uncle. We played every team on our schedule just like we do every year. So, it is our fault that FL, AU and TN sucked this year (with like 28 SEC titles between them)? Our “weekest schedule” had us play 3 teams that finished in the final top 10 in the BCS and yes those were all of our losses. There were roughly 80+ D1 teams with an easier schedule.

You’re right. I now see the error of my ways. UGA sucks so badly that I’m drafting a letter to my congressman as we speak to move that the US Constitution be amended so as to shut down the University of Georgia and any associated universities. Also, in the letter, I’m stating that UGA should vacate all 2011 victories because the schedule was too dang easy. These wins would be allowed if Georgia had retroactively scheduled LSU, Alabama, and ARkansas as non-conference road games the moment Georgia realized none of those teams were on the schedule. I’m also asking that all UGA football players be immediately arrested without charge and held in contempt. Does that make you feel better?

We get it. Your position is that Georgia is a 2nd Tier team. I’m sorry that UGA hasn’t resorted to buying the services of players like Cam Newton. Like I said, everyone keeps knocking the Dawgs schedule this year. But you can only play the teams on your schedule. Thanks to the SEC’s rotational conference match-ups, the top three in the West were not on Georgia’s slate in 2011. Georgia still had to play South Carolina, still had to play at Tennessee, still had the game with Florida, and still went to Georgia Tech. On top of that, Georgia dropped a home-and-home with Louisville to get an opening week match with Boise State. Did ‘Bama willingly schedule Boise State? No, huh? Every team in the country schedules cupcake games. These games are basically off-weeks for your starters to prepare for big conference games. But as I also said, apparently people wanted UGA to schedule LSU, ‘Bama, and Arky as non-conference contests when it became apparent that those teams weren’t on Georgia’s schedule this season.

Bayou, the LSU fans i was sitting near would disagree with you. Besides if i’m not mistaken UGA held your powerhouse offense to zero 1st downs in the 1st half, and 234 yards for the game which is less than mighty Bama could do. And Arky. please, they have no defense at all. If not for 2 dropped t.d passes in 1st half, UGA would have put 21 on your overrated defense. UGA still managed 300 yards of offense against your defense. Something mighy bama couldnt do. If if weren’t for special teams, which UGA gave u 2 tds, and an easy fumble recovery at UGA 20, LSU would have been lucky to score 17. Like i said the knowledgable LSU fans that saw how their offense was getting manhandled in 1st half, though UGA was the real deal. We will see you next year, if your Q.B. that got kicked out of UGA can get you back to the dome. Says all you need to know about what lengths LSU and Bama will do to win.

@DawginLex I’m not thinking that happens given the overall improvement from last years record, I think we actually scored more points last year if not mistaken. Also anyone who can have a defense like LSU’s falling all over themselves for a quarter like Bobo did in the first half can get better. I think we ran out of players rather than ideas and if we had executed the plays called better who knows…we certainly need RB’s and OL help and a special team coach would help also. I was on the fence about demoting Bobo for a while but if our defense had been nearly as good last year as they were this year no way we go 6-7 and I don’t think we are having this discussion. Anyway you slice it..its been a great improvement this year overall.

Most teams don’t hold on to their ranking by the end of the season becasue they lose games. The teams that win games aka good teams finished the season ranked. The crazy thing about rankings is they start in week 1 when nobody knows anything about any teams. By the end of the season there is a pretty good idea about who is good and who was pretending.

Isaiah Crowell needs to stay at UGA. He needs to get healthy, focus on maturing both as an athlete and as a person. If he gets his head screwed on straight, we’ll have a heck of a player on our hands. We put a lot of weight on his 18 yr old shoulders. Let’s give him a chance, not write him off. He’s made some boneheaded mistakes, but we don’t have the full story on the attitude, the injuries, etc. We need Crowell to perform, Ken Malcome shows promise, and Richard Samuel is solid. A good crew…

And let’s all be praying that UGA lands Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley!! Talent galore and heads screwed on straight. Marshall announces tomorrow.

What’s a catchable pass? Murray hit people between the numbers and they dropped the ball. That’s like the old “Stafford throws too hard” complaint. At this level, when a receiver gets two hands on the ball he should catch it.

The Dawgs real issue is lack of quality depth. Its the lines, the running backs and the defensive backfield. Want to pass on Georgia, go at our corners for two or three plays and get them winded. There’s no one behind them.

The Dawgs had a good year but they need to keep improving if they want to compete with the best. That’s improving as individual players and creating depth on the team. LSU plays four tailbacks on a regular basis. Their depth is one reason they are number 1 in the country.

I’ve read these comments and it seems like everyone here knows more about football than I do. So here’s what I’ve done for the Outback Bowl:

1. Not only did I bench Aaron Murray, but I had a couple of the defense “thugs” breaks his legs so he couldn’t even think about playing.

2. Installed Paul Johnson’s option offense. Tech scares me, even though I’ve only lost one game to them.

3. Submitted a petition to the NCAA so that next season our schedule is never set and all we do is play the top 6 teams in the AP poll, always on the road. No BS about an easy schedule next year.

4. I’ve not only fired myself, but I’ve also decided to move to Greenland and open up a rehab clinic for off-the-ice Inuits.

5. Turned over all playing calling duties to UGA I. Yeah, the dog’s been dead for years, but he can still call a better game than me.

Hope that makes you happy.

Judging from the bowl match-ups and the bowl names it looks like UGA did pretty well.

Arkansas vs. Kansas St. (Cotton Bowl)- Both teams spent time highly ranked before slipping a little toward the end. One of the few interesting match-ups that might be worth watching. Without looking at the polls, I would guess this was a match-up of teams ranked in the 14 – 20 range. (The Cotton Bowl sounds like a real bowl. The best name of the major bowls featuring SEC teams.)

UGA vs. Michigan St. – SEC runner-up vs. Big Whatever runner-up doesn’t sound too bad. Without looking at the polls, I would guess this was a match-up of teams in the 8 – 14 range. (The Outback doesn’t sound too bad. It would be really cool if it was played in Australia, but Tampa isn’t a bad place to visit.)

S. Carolina vs. Nebraska – Yawn. A has-been vs. a never-was. Withouth looking at the polls, I would guess this was a matchup of teams in the 20 – Ga Tech range. (The Capitol One bowl sounds just a step above the Kraft Fight Hunger bowl.)

If I remember correctly, the SEC teams share bowl revenue evenly so there isn’t any real financial advantage for being in one bowl over the other. South Carolina should have the easiest bowl to win and Arkansas should be able to handle Kansas St. Depending on which UGAteam shows up at the Outback Bowl, they will either blow Mich St off the field or struggle to look like they belong in a bowl game. Your guess is as good as mine.

Boise St. has more reason to complain about the bowl pairings than any other team, including OK St. The Sugar bowl is a joke this year. Neither Michigan nor Va Tech belong in a BCS game. If the Sugar was bound and determined to take Michigan, they should have at least paired them with Boise St.

Quit your bashing of Crowell. He had a badly sprained ankle and should not have played but they put him in and he played injured. Common sense would have been to start Thomas and substitute for him with Malcolme.. If a 300 lb lineman falls ,hits you from behind and sprains your ankle it is not your fault. He could not cut or block and should not have played.but he tried. By the way, Crowello is not “little” as some have described. He weighs around 210 lbs. He is a freshman and should have been behind King and Ealey on the depth chart. Everybody can’t be Herschel.

“Keep telling yourself your offense isn’t crap if it makes you feel better.”

Actually we run the ball pretty well. Our passing game stinks as we only have average at best QBs. Miles is winning with special teams, defense and running the ball. Considering how poor our ability to throw is, the LSU coaching staff has done a hell of a job.

I appreciate what Jefferson and Lee have done over their careers but I’m glad they are seniors.

TampaDawg,

Mettenberger definitely has the best arm of the 3. I think he’s going to be a really good one if he can keep his head on straight.

We also have Steven Rivers, Philip’s younger brother. He’s being redshirted. He’s 6′6 from Alabama and is a project but has alot of potential.

We have also just gotten in the mix for Gunner Kiel. He’s from Indiana and is the top QB in the country. He reopened his recruitment after decommiting from Indiana. He was on hand on an unofficial visit for the Arkansas game. He liked it so much he came back last week with his parents for an unofficial visit. He will be a mid-year grad so he has to make up his mind soon to enroll in a school in January. He’s rumored to be deciding between Notre Dame and LSU.

I was really impressed with the Mason kid the other night. He looks like a real talent.

Crowell is a freshman. Let’s cut him some slack for that.

Will he make it to the next level?

He came to camp out of shape (is that not his fault?). He violated the terms of his contract with his team, and smoked dope (is that not his fault?). He mouthed off, and got a penalty for doing so in the LSU game (is that not his fault?).

He looks to be a primadonna with an attitude problem (is that not his fault?).

Has he been going to class, studying, passing the course work? We’ll find out, but sounds like maybe not (is that not his fault?).

Has he earned the respect of the other members of his team? From watching the sidelines, and from what we’ve read, it looks like maybe not (is that not his fault?).

If he’s not been removed from school, and if he keeps his nose clean, maybe a year in the weight room, and a year of maturing will make a huge difference. Maybe.

Freshman slack cutting aside, he’s got a ways to go.

Aside from someone like Hershel, LSU seems to have demonstrated that we need a stable of several “first team” running backs. Will Crowell be in that group? That depends if such a group shows up in our recruiting, etc. as well as if No. 1 makes it to the next level (which would be sophomore).

About the only thing I can think of that isn’t Crowell’s fault is Bobo’s play calling, and the BCS. Has anyone ever seen a bigger Charlie Foxtrot of a post season bowl schedule?

Considering Alabama beat 2 tems ranked this year, considering Arkansas is so overated it’s almost funny, I wouldn’t be talking about a weak schedule. You lost at home to LSU. You beat Arkansas and Penn State who ended up out of the rankings all together. Let’s compare UGA and Alabama’s schedules against common opponents this year.
Alabama UGA
Florida w Florida w
Vandy w Vandy w
Ole Miss w Ole Miss w
Tenn. w Tenn. w
Miss St. w Miss. St. w
Auburn w Auburn w
LSU lost LSU lost

Alabama was 6-1 and UGA 6-1 against common opponents. Alabama played Kent State, Ga. Southern and North Texas State and Penn State (overated at #23 at the time). All Wins. UGA played Boise State, New Mexico State and Ga. Tech, Coastal Carolina. (3-1 with Boise State still ranked #7).

So let’s talk about the BIG TOUGH SCHEDULE Alabama had and the weak one UGA had. Bama played Arkansas and we played S. Carolina, both ranked.

Looks like Alabama had an easy ride. LSU on the other hand played Alabama, Oregon, W. Virginia and won them all. Plus Arkansas and UGA. Now there is a schedule to be proud of.

It was a joke Ohio State was in the BCS game for the 2007 seaon (2008 bowl game). Heck the Big 10 didn’t even have a Championship game. If it were today, then UGA should have played LSU in the BCS game that year.

Crowell will be lucky if he is still on the team next year. He is a lunkhead and a thug. Shows no sign of disipline. Yeah I.m a Georgia fan, over forty five years,we need someone bigger with better character.Not someone that you don’t know if they will be playing or be on suspension.

A ditto on Bern’s Steaks. Awesome vittles and for years took clients there. Love it.

I also think that the OUtback is a prime venue for a team on the way up like UGA. Next year, we will win it all.

Go Dogs.

Feel badly for the Jackets in El Paso with all of Obama’s and Holder’s guns blazing down on the Tex/Mex border and all. Can you imagine enjoying an adult beverage and hearing
a car back fire??? Wow! Tequilla all over the lil buzzy bee on their sweatshirt.

Good thing it’s the UGA gameplan. If you follow Tech’s gameplan you’ll never get relief. BTW, do they give free hotdogs and free cokes in old El Paso?

If tomorrow, the NC young #1 running back committs to UGA and his NC pal comes along …………Gurley, and the 2011 residue with Crowell and Malcome and Richard Samuel( my hero that will ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR MANNING UP) and Harton ………………. UGA will be very decent at running back.

To round out the upcoming FROSH Class ………….UGA really needs about 5 or 7 guys to come in and play O line, at least as back ups.

The first match was the “game of the century” the second go around should be called the “over signing bowl”!

@Kool-aidBar, if UGA is getting this much criticism from you on the wait till next year phrase, what are we going to do about Tech’s “wait just 3 or 4 more years” approach?

GT has NO crystal ball. It wasn’t used back then when Tech won either. Regardless, Tech split their NC .. sooooo, consensus title?

@It could align… I have some chicken bones and pig knuckles I would be glad to throw into the mix. It also looks like we might steal away a recruit or two from our neighbors to the east and the south! A little depth goes a long way (see LSU)

That’s why the national championship in college football is mythical, a fiction. Always has been, always will be. Fans could save themselves a lot of wasted energy and just root for a conference title, which for the most part has nothing to do with polls except in cases of 3-way tiebreakers. Not perfect, but at least it’s a title that is mostly legitimate.

Georgia has come a long way. From losing a bowl game to Central Florida to losing a bowl game in central Florida. Either way, Georgia is a big time loser. Ask Lou Holtz.

Not at all interested in playing Michigan State again (last played them in the 2009 Capital One Bowl)…if we had to play a Big 10 school, I’d rather it be one we haven’t played recently…like Nebraska or Penn State.
