A personal note: Many of you will recall my writing about my Dad, who raised me as a Georgia Bulldog from as early as I can remember, sent all three of his sons to the University of Georgia, and who, even at the age of 89, has continued to wear his collection of UGA caps proudly.
Well, I’m sorry to report that Dad is in failing health in Athens and I’m shuttling back and forth between there and Atlanta, so my blogging this week may be less frequent. I appreciate your understanding and your good thoughts and prayers.
Even if there isn’t a new posting here, feel free to continue discussing the Dawgs in the comments, but please keep it clean and civil. Thanks.
Go Dogs!

Wow so many dumb things said by you dont know where to start.
Frist off dont you dare ever call me something that vile and disgusting. TDF- True Dawg Fan. Somehting that you clearly are not. You are just a cry baby fan that loves to whine and moan about the program.
And yes going 10-4 after going 6-7 is a huge improvement and not to mention being ranked top 5 defense, you know the side of the ball that CTG coaches you clown.
And in ur attempt to insult you made a fatal error. You are only pointing out what happened this year. The fact is SEC plays harder competition than any conference out there period. Sometimes teams get lucky due the cyclical nature of the SEC and get an easier than average schedule. So yes SEC teams get extra points for your retarded little system, bc on average they paly tougher teams than any other conference.
But continue to cry and spew garbage and ill continue to show you how supid you are!! its a fun game… well for me anyways! thanks for playing retard!!

Also with you pointing out points scored against. Stop trying to blame CTG for the points given up by the offense, ST, or plays that put the other team in our red zone. That takes SC down to 17 points DA. LSU goes all the way down to 14. and MSU drops down a decent bit as well.
And FYI I dont care what teams end up ranked after we beat them, they were ranked for the game it counts as beating a ranked opponent plain and simple. AU and Tech both ranked for the games.

Yeah, that really matters that South Carolina was a RANKED TEAM in 2007 when they beat us.
Only problem with that, is that according to Chris Low of ESPN, a team is measured by their whole body of work over the entire course of the season – and South Carolina in 2007 when they beat us, ended the season 6-6 and NOT RANKED AT ALL IN ANY POLL, and in fact did not even play in a bowl game.

Sorry im not on here at 1 AM to answer your questions loser. And yes I did write that. And that would have been the best move by our team to fix the offensive problems. And if you had read on more you would see that I said if that cant happen then hopefully Bobo will get a nudge to get more creative and less predictable and some lessons on the flow of the game from Richt.

And since im banned from Crapville recruiting blog Ill post here.
JHC will be a dawg period. People saying UF are retarded as they are pretty much eliminated. JHC is all dawg sorry.
And to those crying about recruiting class, stop looking at the rivals and scout they are jokes of recruiting sites.(Only cater to areas with high subsciptions) We will end up with a top 5 class after JHC, Avery Young, Sheldon Dawson, C. Patterson, and Josh Dawson pick the dawgs. And not to mention great shots at Will Redmond, Flipping Greene and Williams. Not to mention the secret recruit that will be a huge steal from another school.

When you play a ranked team its just that playing a ranked team. So I hope that everyone isnt as stupid as you, but on here there are many just as dumb an uniformed as you (13-1, techie trolls, techie trolls posing as other schools)

Good chances at Greene, J. Williams, and Redmond. Wouldnt count us out on getting Whitehead back either.
Also constant rumors of a top recruit that may be flipping to UGA as well. (Not any of the names above)

BC I go elsewhere for my info. AJC sucks for recruiting news or anything UGA. Leatherhelmetblog.com is the place to be fo that info.
JHC has been 100% dawg for a while now. Many of our recruits are already silent commits. Gurley was committed for an entire month but held off to try and get mike davis to come join the team. All in the strategy.
The florida fans saying they have him are retarded bc if anyting crazy were to happen he would be going to FSU, UF is 3rd out of the 3 and a long ways back. Muschump would have to have a really big bag$$$ man$$ to get JHC.

O and as for Brandon Greene, he not a huge loss if he doesnt flip but we have a great shot after Satan lashed out at him for visiting us. His comments about not listening are clearly untrue (And most likely came from Satan) since he is giving us an in home visit this week.
So like i have been saying dont depend on Crapville Carvell for any kind of news.

15,000,000,000,000 National Debt 15 Trillion
55,000,000,000,000 Total US Debt 55 Trillion
04,000,000,000,000 just interest on the Debt 4 Trillion
00,010,000,000,000 True Dawg Fan 10 billion only says legalizing TDF True Dawg Fan’s defense of drug use.
So, what do we have ?
10 billion is the way to pay off the national debt.
TDF, It would take 8 generations to pay off the debt, True Dawg Fan. And, what would we have ? If this is your idea to pay off the national debt, you are a man with no business sense, and worse, a foolish person.
You brag of how much you have bested everyone on this blog with this demotivating drug. Addictive. Yes, sir, addictive. You don’t even know what it is. And, here you are announcing you alone have the solution for the national debt.

“Actually studies show that legalizing it could generate $10-15 billion dollars a year for the government. Thats a pretty significant number.”
___________________________________________________________
99 percent of the NCAA student-athletes do NOT do this drug. More than 99 percent of the NCAA student-athletes. As your solution for our 15 trillion dollar national debt that you state studies show that the government could generate $10 billion annually toward the national debt and that that is a pretty significant number.
55,000,000,000,000
15,000,000,000,000
00,010,000,000,000
drug users because you want to get high to pay off the debt.
04,000,000,000,000 interest on Total US Debt
4 trillion is the interest on the debt and you think 10 billion is significant.
Don’t be planning on running for President anytime soon.
You’d last about 1 New York nanosecond. If it was 500 times more, it would not even pay the interest.
And, what would we have ?
Street drugs are harmful to health and athletic abilities and detract from athletic performance, and are also illegal while causing psychological dependence requiring more of the drug, impaired or reduced short-term memory, reduced ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination, decreased social inhibitions, impaired or reduced short-term memory, impaired or reduced comprehension, altered motivation and cognition, making the acquisition of new information difficult, psychological dependence, impairments in learning and motivation.

Maybe if you had done your research a little harder you would have found tons of supporting facts such as it would reduce the stress on the prison system which would save money. Its an easily renewable source for paper and cheaper which would save money. Its called a domino effect you little twirp.
10- 15B in revennue made off of sales alone, not to mention the billions of dollars saved when all those in jail for marijuana get released. Which could easily double that 10-15B. Then you have to factor in revenue made off of its medical usues and then theres the aspects that are unmeasureable such as the freedom from pain, the ability to be normal for those with speach disorders, the ability to help someone who has an eating disorder over come the disease.
And if you can please show me anyone who has ever OD on it.
Its not a drug, it has many useful forms that can help millions of people. It helps ppl with speach problems, eating disorders, cancer, eye disease, chronic pain, etc……
But yes lets throw this easy money maker off the table that could easily in 10 years make a half trillion dollars or more. Yup that would be the smart thing wouldnt it?

You mean like we haven’t beaten a worthwhile team since beating Georgia tek in 2009 who ended up # 13 in the AP Poll, but of course, 2009 we lost 5 games, 1 more than we just did in 2011, and we lost 7 games in-between in 2010.

We have beaten plenty of good ranked teams since then. But keep crying that they didnt end up ranked wahh wahh wahh wahh. If a team is ranked at the time of the game and after getting beat falls out of the rankings, then that would mean we arjust played and beat a ranked team. Doesnt metter what happens to that team for the rest of the season. The only time it might not count is the first game bc pre season polls mean nothing, just a popularity contest.

We have been over this before and you already lost this battle too.
You cherry pick comments to fit your arguement and leave everything else out.
Yes bobo should be moved to head recruiting coach and QB coach, these are his biggest strengths. To hire a new OC someone would have to be fired. Either Gardner or Bmac would have been my picks.
Bobo doesnt understand the flow of the game like Richt did. thats the biggest killer of our offense. He doesnt know when to put the pedal down and when to coast.
But then after I said all this McGarity came out and said he wouldnt force Richt to make any changes to coaches so I said that Bobo needs to get a nudge to open the offense up. Or if he is being handcuffed for someone to give him the keys and see what he can do.
Anything else you would like to try you little puke??
