I believe Murray is just trying 2 make a play after Bobo’s play calling puts him in 3rd and long. Most of Murrays turnovers come on 3rd down. While Murray has 2 stop fumbling Bobo has 2 quit being so predictable. If we called plays like we did in the 1st half of SECCG we very well should be playing 4 the NC this year!!! But Bobo has 2 improve a lot!!! Go Dawgs!!!

I simply can’t see Mizzu winning. UGA has great depth…and has played on the big stage moreso than Mizzu. I don’t care how good their QB is, he has yet to play a team that will blitz and pressure him like UGA will. Also, Mizzu does not have a running game to keep the LBs at bay. Reminds me of floridas offense last year.

Nothing has changed but a few names on and off the roster. The O-line is still suspect. Murray will continue to start at QB and Malcome will rotate with Crowell at RB. Gurley and Marshall will see little playing time as true freshmen at RB in Richt’s offense because they have to learn the exquisite pass protection blocking scheme before they can earn any carries. DGD Samuel will be shifted to FB and will be lucky to get 20 carries all season as his new job is to block. The offense will improve slightly as at least we won’t have to witness give up running plays up the middle by a 5-6, 160 RB anymore. But Bobo is still running the Richt offense and in 12 years it hasn’t brought home a crystal ball so why should we expect the results to be different this season.

Murray at QB has ran up gaudy numbers against inferior opponents, so please refrain from running bogus stats to justify his entitlement as UGA QB. The only stats that means anything is the overall team W-L versus quality opponents. In fairness, Murray has had poor O-line play which has caused him to over-compensate and commit critical errors in big games and the lack of a running game also hampered things for him as well. So expect UGA to continue to still struggle offensively against good teams and thrive against the bad ones. I predict a 9-3 season and a trip to the Capital One Bowl. Hopefully Richt will break his recent bowl drought the past couple of years for another 10 win season that will have the delusional crowd screaming wait till 2013. ‘Nuff Said ! Hunker Down !

In case you’re wondering, yes, Murray’s danger zone his freshman season in 2010 was ALSO his OWN side of the field, the 20-40 yard line, where he threw 2 td’s, but 5 int’s.

Bobo didn’t work on this area of the field much in the 2011 off season. Must not have noticed this.

Some of the things I hear as to why Murray will throw less interceptions in 2012 are:
1- more experience at QB
2- better o-line pass protection
3- better rushing game

Let’s look at these.

1- More experience = Less interceptions
Murray had more experience in 2011, than 2010, yet threw 14 interceptions, instead of 8.

2- Better o-line = Less interceptions
Murray had the most experienced o-line in the nation in 2010, and still went 6-7 and threw 8 interceptions and gave up 25 sacks. Murray had the largest o-line in NCAA or NFL in 2011, and gave up 14 int’s, and 33 sacks. So, 2012, o-line won’t be bigger, or more experienced, so if anything, it will be worse.

3- Better rushing game = less interceptions
If you look at the play vs. ranked teams in 2011, the rush game improved from 95 yards a game in 2010, to 113 yards a game in 2011. Yet Murray’s interceptions went from 3 int’s in 5 games in 2010 vs. ranked teams, to 6 int’s vs. 4 ranked teams in 2011.

Indeed, I was 14 at the time and had attended games with my folks every year prior to 1980 for 12 years. Nothing like throwing a football with my Dad in Colesium parking lot before games.

Tide Roll is right. Although I’m prideful in UGA, I’m not on the lunatic fringe. Nor am I a homer. UGA is a wonderful football program. It has great legacy. Above average fans. Beautiful stadium (though not loud and intimidating as some of its peers). A+ city in Athens.

However.

UGA football has greatly underachieved its own expectations. It’s a tier II Division I program. It could be so much more but the program hasn’t made it a top priority to win at the highest level. UGA will tease you but the program isn’t on a mission to win it all.

Alabama’s mission is to win it all or bust every year. I know…U of A lost its way a while back but clearly its righted the ship. I really don’t believe U of A is a better program. I don’t think it’s facilities. Nor fans. Etc. Rather, it’s that U of A makes it a mandate to play at that level. U of A drills that point into the program…fans…alumni…players. In other words, this is who we are. This is how we play the game. Don’t come here unless this is what you prize (MNC).

Without doubt, UGA is a solid program. But, think about it, if #34 had never signed back in 1980, how many years would it be today since UGA last won a MNC.

I think Richt looks at Murray like though ONLY these 5 lenses:
1) Murray was offered 50+ scholarships in high school
2) Murray’s team won the state championship his Senior year in the toughest classification in Florida one of the most talent rich states
3) Murray won the Elite 11 MVP in 08
4) Murray threw 59 td’s in 2 seasons in college
5) Murray threw for 6000+ yards in 2 seasons in college

Richt figures, because of the above 5, Murray will lead us to an SEC Championship

If Murray would do two things right it would cut down or his bad plays and turnovers by 70-80%:
1- Run the ball when nobody is open or if the defense is giving you 5 to 8 yards, tuck it and run it. BEFORE, BEFORE, BEFORE you are hit slide on the ground. DO NOT LET THE DEFENSE COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOU BEFORE YOU ARE DOWN.Complete
2- Complete 80% of your screen passes. Murray probably has the worst completion ratio with screen passes in Georgia history and when he does complete one it is lobed so far away from the intended receiver, usually the Fullback, that he has to make an acrobatic one handed catch which allows the defense to catch up and stop the play for a loss or the pass is picked off or falls incomplete.
Murray has put together impressive statistics but most of the numbers come from scoring 50 plus points on division 2 teams. It does Georgia no good to play Murray more than one Quarter against teams that we are blowing out. That is when Mason and LeMay should be playing to get experience so we can’t use that as an excuse for poor Quarterback play after Murray has left.

I agree that Murray is a very good Quarterback but as I have stated it doesn’t help Georgia any to have Murray even play against division 2 teams. If Georgia had let Murray play the last 6 games 3 years ago instead of Cox he would have been ready for the 2010 year.
If we had one stat people would understand a lot of Murray’s problem. If we compared this one thing of Murray’s against the great Quarterbacks like Griffin of Baylor, Luck at Sanford, or Moore at BS and even Stafford when he was at Georgia you would see that a lot of Murray’s problems comes from the fact that he is too slow in getting rid of the ball. Great Quarterbacks know what they are going to do with the ball before it is hiked and if that falls apart they immediately do something else. Just get rid of the ball or run it. Murray is too slow making something happen and is thrown for a loss. I agree that our offensive line has not been very good the last few years but you can’s blame everything on them.

Bill, I agree about Murray. Lost in all the criticism is the fact you have a kid who is making these mistakes as a freshman and sophomore. So he aids in losing four games last year…well three of those teams had senior QBs two of which (Moore of BSU and Cousins of MSU) were two of the best in the country and high NFL prospects. Dont forget droped TDs in the LSU game, and special teams blunders in MSU and South Carolina games as well as the lackluster running game and OL you mentioned. Those losses were a team effort, not Aaron Murray.

His stats are better than Stafford over the first two seasons and are likely the best in UGA history for first two years. Remember how Stafford had similar turnover issues his first season and against UF in 2008. He will be a year older and wiser next season. Putting Mason or LeMay in is basically starting over. Its one thing to look good in practice, but completely different when the game is fully on your shoulders.

Stats, as most fans know, can be misleading. Bill has tried to excuse Murray’s poor decision making by putting down the o-line. Fact is the interception he threw in the bowl game that turned all the momentum was well protected – he had time. He simply threw the ball directly to the MSU player. This is unacceptable conduct – given the situation. We were dominating a decent, but not great Big Ten (there are actually 12 teams in the Big Ten) team. A team from the weakest BCS conference in the nation went on to beat us. Any decent QB would have easily won that game with our team, including the o-line. The only stat that counts is Ws and Ls. Murray has yet to perform well for an entire game against a strong opponent. He usually looks great the first half and anything but great the second half. Bobo may not be the greatest play caller in America, but he has never told Murray to throw the thing to the other team. That’s on Murray. Need I mention his inexcusable failure to protect the ball when sacked by Clowney in the South Carolina game? we were clearly the better TEAM that day but Murray lost the game.

Now, he may be the best we’ve got, but Mason looks worthy of at least being put in the game when it becomes clear to most folks that Murray has gone into a funk. My complaint is the unwillingness to even give the guy a chance when it is obvious Murray is confused, or whatever causes him to have those “what the hell just happened” moments.

I will say this. Receivers have dropped wide open touchdown passes. The o-line’s pass protection has not been up to par in about 5 years. The running game has been suspect. These all sound like issues NFL QB’s go through yet we still hold them accountable win it comes down to wins and losses. I guess when Georgia loses a game, we shouldn’t blame the coaches or the players, just the idiot fans, right? Great QB’s win big games. Great QB’s make other players around them better. IMHO, Murray has the same problem as Matt Ryan: Just “enough” talent to get the job done but not enough fire. Sure, he’s tough, but I’ve never seen him get after a teammate. So why be called an idiot if all Murray’s proven is he’s an average QB? Get over it and calm down. No one said he sucked. But he definitely doesn’t overachieve. Yes men, or “yes” fans, kill programs and muddle in mediocrity. For all you bible thumpers:

All you Murray-bashers will be singing a different tune this time next year. Aaron is starting his 3rd year in the toughest conference in the land and his experience will serve him well the next 2 years. Unpredictable playcalling is an absolute must. A solid running game and stable O-Line will also be the keys. Get those things settled, and Murray wins the big ones.

The kid in not only a student of the game and tough as nails, he also came to Georgia because he wanted to be a Bulldog. This endears him to me because he lived in the heart of Gator country, but he went against all odds, and chose the University of Georgia. I believe he will finish as an All-American, and then go on to make us proud in the NFL.

I appreciate fans not being happy about Murray and some of the mistakes he has made as Georgia’s starting QB. However, if you don’t think this guy has earned it, you obviously don’t know football. Murray was 209 of 342 with 61.1% completion rate, 3,049 yards, a passer rating of 154, with 24 td’s and 9 interceptions AS A FRESHMAN. His second year he was 238 for 403, 3,149 yards passing, 59.1% completion rate, a passer rating of 146, with 35 td’s and 14 int’s. So with 59 td’s and 23 int’s and a completion rate of approx. 60%, Murray numbers look really good. Couple that with the fact that Georgia’s offensive line has been suspect year after year, and last year due to King and Ealey making early unexpected exits, the passing game was expected to carry the Dawgs a bit. If you don’t think Murray earned the position, you need to go watch another sport.

Bonkers, Your point on Bobo’s play calling and Murray’s efforts inside the GA 20 yard line is on target. We had several good runs coming out on occasions and then we threw on first down for an interception. The UF game two years ago started out inside the 10 Bobo called a flat pass. UF intercepted for a td. Without that call we win without going into OT and lose. You have the whole game to be fancy. The last time we beat them Marino ran the ball 10 straight times for a score. They tied it up and then since we ran the ball so good to start with, play action caught them sleeping and we hit MOMASS for that long TD. Inconsistant play calling is a defensive key. Bobo is predictable.

Notre Dame is # 34 in won/lost record the current 18-year period. If you are 25 years old and started playing and watching football at age 7, you haven’t seen Notre Dame do one blessed thing in your entire lifetime.

18 lackluster seasons in a row.

This is the legacy of Notre Dame nowadays.

Notre Dame is not dominant.

Notre Dame is not anywhere near Top 25 current 18-year period.

There is not 1 recruit who has seen Notre Dame have 1 single solitary good season.

The very best season in the current 18-year period that Notre Dame has accomplished is 3-Loss Season.

Brian Kelly has gone 8-5 and 8-5.

Brian Kelly’s quarterback has had numerous turnovers from the quarterback position which have cost Notre Dame any semblance of respectability.

For this, Notre Dame’s athletic director acts as an equal to the commissioners of the 11 Football Bowl Subdivision conferences when they discuss BCS issues.

2-10 is the bowl record of Notre Dame the current 18-year period.

2 bowl wins in 18 seasons, Notre Dame today.

Notre Dame beat only hapless Hawai’i in the Hawai’i Bowl and hapless Miami of Florida in the Sun Bowl the current 18-year hapless period of Notre Dame Football.

Notre Dame has only 28 players in the NFL today.

Georgia, by direct comparison, has 39. Notre Dame would make a C, 71 grade, 71 percent of the number of NFL players that UGA has.

5-12-1 Notre Dame vs Southern California current 18-year period.

Including losing 9 of the last 10 games vs Southern California.

5-9 Notre Dame vs Michigan current 18-year period.

Including losing 5 of the last 6 games vs Michigan.

In the current 18-year period against their only 2 Rivals, Notre Dame has won a grand total of 10 of 31 games.

Brian Kelly’s hot seat is getting hotter by the minute, and as time shows, ND fans will only stand for mediocrity for so long.

Florida recruits see players struggle with the lifestyle at Notre Dame. Study religion, play football out-of-state since there aren’t any recruits in the state Notre Dame is located in, # 19 in US News and World Report Rankings for colleges when UGA is # 58, a very good showing by the way, and play on a Losing Football Team – and, make no mistake about it when you average 7 wins a season the entire current 18-year period, you are a Losing Football Program – especially if you are Notre Dame. Georgia tek is # 35 in case anyone thinks that is Harvard.

UGA was # 12 in the nation Rivals Recruiting Ranking 2012, Notre Dame # 20.

Now, today, in the Notre Dame Spring Game, all we really find is Notre Dame fans talking about the hot seat of their Current

Loser Coach Brian Kelly – HOTSEAT

And, what specifics are found about Brian Kelly getting Notre Dame the talent that they need, every Catholic thinking the best Catholic Football Players should attend Notre Dame, not Boston College, when all Notre Dame can do is to recruit out-of-state, recruit nationally they call it, since again there are no football players in-state for Notre Dame.

Well, what we read about is their nearly best defensive football player from the recruiting hotbed of Florida quit the team.

ATTRITION Notre Dame.

Brian Kelly recruited

AARON LYNCH, the headliner of his 1st recruiting class and key to Notre Dame recruiting in the state of Florida, which is just 1 of the top 2 recruiting states from where the top football players are located.

Aaron Lynch of Cape Coral Florida was given Scholarship Offers from 17 head coaches last year; notably Mark Richt was not 1 of the 17.

Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Miami of Florida, Ohio State, South Carolina, Auburn, and Notre Dame all offered, at least, a Scholarship to the headliner recruit signed by Brian Kelly last year Aaron Lynch, an All-America Defensive End with a penchant for sacking opposing Quarterbacks – something Notre Dame sorely needs if it is to beat teams like Southern California, Oklahoma, Stanford – for example this up-coming 2012 season.

I mean just

HOW GREAT IS NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL ?

Considering a player of this stature from this state, Florida, which is so crucial to Notre Dame’s ultimate success or failure to recruit nationally, just up and says, eh this ain’t so great football here at Notre Dame, think I will just go to South Florida, who beat UGA in the bowl game the year before last 6-10.

Michael Floyd, a senior wide receiver, this time last year got a DUI. He had put up over 1,000 yards receiving and was the kingpin in Brian Kelly taking the job at Notre Dame. What did Brian Kelly do ? He put him on indefinite suspension for the Spring and Summer last year and then, August 2, re-instated him to the team.

Nice Brian Kelly, you LOSER COACH on the HOTSEAT.

Party School ranking for Notre Dame ? Uh, I don’t think so.

Notre Dame has not won the Fulmer Cup, nor are they # 8 all-time in Fulmer Cup as is Mark Richt.

Notre Dame does not have 24 attrition list of scholarships like this Aaron Lynch. You just cannot find these goings-on at Notre Dame, never have, never will. UGA ? Yeah, we allow it here and make excuses for it. That’s what the homer-crowd here at UGA wants. That and positive news.

Great Recession has had a profound effect on the Rust Belt, and make no mistake about it, Notre Dame is the Rust Belt.

Not just the Great Recession but Census Reports clearly indicate an Exodus of eligible age group for recruiting for football from the Entire Rust Belt Region. 25 percent Declines in this age group, indicates that youngsters who are beginning to look for jobs and colleges to prepare them for jobs, are leaving the Rust Belt. This has been on-going trend now for 2 full entire decades, if not longer.

There’s anecdotal evidence that the future isn’t as bright as it once was for Notre Dame football.

Let’s see, the current National Championship Picture is that The SEC sent two of its teams to play each other, again, to determine who is the National Champion.

SEC won NC.

SEC has won The National Championship in Football every single season in a row now for Six (6) Consecutive College Football Seasons, and The SEC when it is playing for the BCS National Championship in the BCS Era has never not won The National Championship Game when it was allowed to play in it.

Indeed, Notre Dame of The South is what The University of Georgia is faced with, only Notre Dame plays real football teams this up-coming season, unlike The University of Georgia, my alma mater where we only play 1 game all 12 games regular season long against a team who made any top 25 poll.

We have moved into irrelevancy and if you had a come-back to any of my posts, you would not just Flame Away with a Compliment to little ole me that all these posters all day long you claim are I, and not they – who also are numbered in the hundreds of posters with unique IP Addresses who post to the AJ-C stating that well, we have not in the Mark Richt era beat one top football team in any bowl game on the national stage at the end of the year the whole world watching us as a top team beating a top team.

If you want positive news about a football program who

CANNOT BEAT THE TOP TEAMS, please dream up some post on the topic and post away.

I’ll read it. That is because I am not a small person who only listens to those who agree with me, and trust me on this, there are hundreds of us who feel as I do, while you sit there whining about the fact that no one posts anything positive about our football program. Uh, that includes you son. Post something positive. Go ahead.

(1) Ignore the 24 Attrition List I sat here and researched and Chipper Towers STOLE FROM ME without crediting me and went right down MY LIST player by player accounting for every single solitary one of them.

(2) Ignore our LOSSES to EVERY TOP TEAM, winning SEC record opponents, teams making the top 10 and teams making the top 25.

Post something positive – instead of JUST PERSONAL ATTACK in reply – like you think you are a GREAT DEBATER by IGNORING THE FACTS of our football program.

That’s because there a few vocal peons of people who want to hear only their opinion and their opinion is what ?

That we have or will beat top football teams ?

Uh no.

Their opinion is that it is a Compliment to call UGA the Notre Dame of the South in Football.

Conspiracy Theory :
_________________

There is no Conspiracy Theory ?

Huh ?

Mark Richt doesn’t give one hoot about beating top teams, not one. Never has.

In his 1st season as our head coach, David Greene beat the team that made it to # 4 in the nation, the vols. Mark Richt stated on the sidelines : “We knocked the Lid off this Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Program.” He LOST Four (4) Games the same season, in which David Greene beat the vols. David Greene was NOT recruited by Mark Richt. David Greene was already here. David Greene, Hall of Fame Coach Jim Donnan, who lost 19 games his 5 years here and was fired for it compared to 21 losses by Mark Richt his current 5-year period by direct contrast – Jim Donnan said that if he had not redshirted David Greene 2000, that he would still be UGA’s Head Coach.

Certainly, the players that did well in Mark Richt’s 1st half of his tenure, were Jim Donnan’s players. Those teams had players who did win games for us.

Coaching the 1st half of Mark Richt’s era, also cost us excruciating Losses.

Ok, I get it you are tired of the same old facts that Mark Richt is 3 wins in 16 games against teams who made it to the top 10, like the vols in 2001.

Maybe when you formulate a response to the fact that he hasn’t beat the teams who made it to the Top 10 in his 11 years to-date, and this season faces only 1 of the 12 regular seasons’ games a team who actually made it to any top 25 poll, then you wouldn’t have to re-read this in reply to A PERSONAL ATTACK of me – ignoring the over 300 others to this same blog, daily, saying the same back to you.

Do you really think that they would not have TOLD YOU MARK RICHT has won 3 of 16 games in his 11 years in this blog here again today, had I not done the research and provided you every game and the result ?

Apparently, that is exactly what you think.

What you are left with is over 300 posters telling you the same as I, and I am to blame.

I certainly don’t want my alma mater to lose 13 of 16 games against teams who made it to the top 10. You cannot make that stick that I do; no one believes you. So, Why do You Write That ?

Because you are such a small person that you actually think that my analysis of the recruiting in-state here in Georgia by Mark Richt last season compared to Nick Saban and Kirby Smart’s recruiting in-state here in Georgia would never be known, had I not done it.

WHAT ABOUT THE RECRUITS WHO SIGNED WITH ALABAMA ?

They NEVER READ my analysis of it, after the fact.

They DECIDED that I was right.

I merely studied it and calculated it; then presented it.

I believe you believe you are up against a formidable opponent; and, must ban me, censor me because I am bad for UGA recruiting telling the truth of our program.

Well, I have told you that you are the reason we lose these recruits in-state, because you say we are great under Mark Richt and cite really weak won/lost argument without regard to the teams who actually earned top 10.

Every single season, all these teams beat teams who make the top 10.

They win the NC.

We sit at home and are dealt another 7-4 bowl record against inferior opponents, while I watch them win the NC.

You have no come-back to the point.

We don’t beat the teams who make it to the top 10.

Mark Richt specifically doesn’t give a crud about winning. It is not, and Jesus is, what he is all about. If he did, he would NOT play Aaron Murray every snap of every game.

ALL I HAVE EVER ASKED is that the position be opened up and when he demonstrates off-field LACK OF LEADERSHIP and on-field heebie-jeebies from his off-field exploits, that he be treated the same as every other player, and be sat down some and let someone else play.

If we saw the other quarterbacks such as Christian LeMay be told he has a legitimate chance to start vs Buffalo game 1 – and why not ? – then, Aaron Murray would become more focused.

And, you would not see Aaron Murray run up his stats vs pitiful opponents, and fail all 9 of his games against teams who made top 25.

All 9 of those games, the OTHER QB was better than Aaron Murray.

Mark Richt doesn’t care about that.

That’s not important to Mark Richt AT ALL.

You are kidding yourself if you think Mark Richt cares about beating the top teams.

With the contract extensions recently given I’m afraid The Dawgs are in more alot more of the recent same. As long as the East is weak we may end up with a winning record then get destroyed in The SECC Game and the subsequent bowl game.

Once UT, UF, Auburn get their act together (and they will much quicker than we ever have) the winning seasons will be over. This strikes me as a major waste of time. McGarity must see something we don’t. On the other hand maybe we feel something he doesn’t.

Due to lack of a solid running game, Murrray has had to shoulder most, if not all, of the offensive production. Very few qb’s can handle that. And while I think he is one of the top SEC qb’s, I would like to see Mason and Lemay get a shot. Open up the competition, get them in some games and see what happens. Might even loosen up Murray and get him playing better. But it won’t matter who is taking snaps if the O-line and running game don’t dominate.

Bill:

I was very thrilled that you put the UGA QB situation into perspective and said things that needed saying.

As you know I can be pretty blunt at times so I’m just going to cut to the chase and say that I personally feel that anyone over 15-16 years old and in their right mind would refrain from most of the criticism of CMR about playing Murray while he has much better QBs in stock. Leadership qualities are not always obvious to those evaluating a player but as you described, Murray is one of the top QBs in the country and is NOT to blame for the 4 losses UGA rang up last year as some fools like to contend. It is the blame of all 22 starters and Special teamers. Blaming Murray for not beating certain teams is approx. the same as blaming those losses on Jarvis Jones, Ben Jones, Malcomb Mitchell, Tavares King, etc.

To think in those terms means that CMR and other coaches are willing to seriously hurt the teams chances of winning which would impact the job security of those coaches and those that believe that are simply members of The Single Digit IQ Club.

CMR has spent his total of 11 years as HC in the SEC the toughest Conference in college football

Saban has been all over the place including a cup of coffee at NFL Miami

Miles is similar to Saban

Head to head Saban 3 CMR 2 Miles 2 CMR 2

CMR got to 100 career wins faster than either of them.

CMR has a better win/loss record than either of them playing his entire HC career in the SEC

I like that 3-4 UGA runs. We found we can just spread that front 3 out, and Lattimore had wide open spaces to run through. Shoot, he’s nearly run for 400 yards in 2 games. Hope ole Grantham sticks to that 3-4, we’ve had a lot of fun with all the holes.

Good point, coach Richt went on a nice 10-0 run against those 10 unranked teams.

Then again, Coach Richt is 0-9 against ranked teams, for the last couple of years.

also doesn’t have winning record vs Colorado
9 teams Mark Richt doesn’t have winning record against

Mark Richt also doesn’t have winning record vs SEC teams who made winning record.

Mark Richt also doesn’t have winning record vs teams any conference who made top 25.

Mark Richt also doesn’t have winning record vs teams any conference who made top 10.

The point is and remains that Mark Richt cannot beat the teams who make top 10.

3-13 Mark Richt record vs teams who made any top 10 all 11 years

Alabama in 2003 and 2007 were a combined 11-15. That’s the whole point Brainiac, sir.

2007 LSU beat two (2) teams who made the top 10, while Mark Richt beat no team who made any top 10. Instead, we played the team who made # 19 team for our bowl game.

2005, Mark Richt actually was # 3 SEC team in every single solitary poll.

2002, Mark Richt beat no team who made any top 10 and lost to a horrible should’ve been 6-Loss Ron Zook Florida team who did not make the top 25 when Mark Richt’s offense went 0-11 on 3rd Down Conversions for the entire football game against this hapless opponent. Instead of the teams who did beat teams who made the top 10 in 2002, Mark Richt therefore played a 5-Loss team for our bowl game. The facts are that Mark Richt has never beat a team in a bowl game who made it to the top 10, not in all 11 years.

Seriously, Brainiac – even Neutral admits that Aaron Murray is 0-9 vs teams who made the top 25. Why do you insist on posting LIES about Mark Richt ? Last season, Mark Richt made the # 5 team in The SEC in Every Single Solitary Poll there is. This up-coming 2012 season, we are the # 6 SEC team in won/lost record over the current period after the 2005 season :

I-A Winning Percentage after 2005

2005 season was 8 yrs ago now this up-coming 2012 season

01. .9240 at 73-06 Boise State
02. .8461 at 66-12 TCU
03. .8000 at 64-16 LSU*

Let me break this out for you Brainiac, sir after 2005 :

2. .7777 at 63-18 Florida*
3. .7246 at 50-19 Alabama*
4. .7051 at 55-23 Auburn*
5. .7000 at 56-24 Missouri*
6. .6835 at 54-25 Georgia*

Brainiac, sir, UGA is The # 6 SEC team this up-coming 2012 season in won/lost record after 2005. The 2005 season was 8 years ago now this up-coming 2012 season. Without Jim Donnan’s recruits, this is where we are and have 24 scholarships Mark Richt gave out for this up-coming season your excuse of which for them not being on the team is : “Good Riddance.”

3-4 vs LSU is not a winning record for Mark Richt vs all SEC teams. I do not have to pay attention to know that.

Interesting how you compartmentalize the 3-8 Florida record, as if it doesn’t matter to you stating : “This time PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!! NO SEC team has a winning record against CMR.”

“Anyone who thinks CMR doesn’t want to win a NC is totally schizo!!!! “
____________________________________________________________
There is no Evidence that Mark Richt is capable of winning a national championship. In 2002, he beat no team who made any top 10, yet lost to a team who did not make any top 25 poll, Florida. The SEC was Way Down in 2002, with only 1 other team who made the Coaches’ Poll Top 25, a 4-Loss Auburn team. Ohio State beat 3 teams who made the top 10 in 2002.

In 2007, Mark Richt again beat no team who made any top 10, while LSU beat two (2) teams who made the top 10. Mark Richt also completed a 6-game SWEEP by The SEC East against him, including a loss to team who did not even play in a bowl game 2007, South Carolina a 6-6 team 2007 and another blow-out by the vols in 2007 who should’ve been a 5-Loss hapless team.

In 2005, Mark Richt beat a team who made the top 10 and still was the # 3 team in just The SEC in every single poll. Texas beat two (2) teams who made the top 10.

In 2001, Mark Richt beat a team who made the top 10, # 4 vols 2001, and bragged about it stating he’d knocked the lid off the # 11 all-time win football program losing 4 games 2001 including a hapless Boston College team who was not ranked before they beat Mark Richt. While we were losing to Boston College, Miami of Florida beat top 10 Nebraska for the National Championship. Mark Richt also lost to a 5-Loss Auburn who did not make any top 25 poll 2001, and lost to Florida and South Carolina 2001.

2003 LSU won 3 games against teams who made the top 10 including Oklahoma in the BCS National Championship Game while we lost to a 5-Loss, should’ve been 6-Loss Ron Zook team along with 2 other losses 2003. So, while LSU was beating Oklahoma, we played # 18 Purdue in the CapitalOne bowl – otherwise known as the Citrus Bowl. 2003 Mark Richt beat no team who made the top 10.

2004 we got to play # 14 Wisconsin in Outback Bowl at 11 am because we lost to the vols and we lost to Auburn. 2004 Mark Richt beat no team who made the top 10. Auburn beat two (2) teams who made the top 10.

2006, Mark Richt started Joe Tereshinski III ahead of Matthew Stafford, who promptly lost 4 games in our conference, including to 4-8 Vandie 2006 while Mark Richt also redshirted Knowshon Moreno so that we saw him 2 years and gone. Mark Richt beat the team who made it to # 9 Auburn and like I said Lost Four (4) Games 2006. This while, of course, Florida started the streak continuing today of 6 SEC BCS National Championships in a row. Also starting the 2006 season, Mark Richt and his merry “coaching staff” are now the # 6 SEC team this coming 2012 season, in won/lost record for his BLUNDERS as head coach having to do mainly with his lack of management as CEO of either his roster or his “coaching staff.” This was a pivotal year for Mark Richt. His roster decisions of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno would highlight his inability to recognize the talent he had, despite the fact that both were Unanimously, Consensus in the top 3 in the nation. Despite the 28 to nothing debacle against West Virginia to culminate the 2005 season, before I could even get situated in my seat and stop booing Mike Adam$ and his wife at the Sugar Bowl at the Georgia Dome, which never happened according to these same RICHT-0-PHILES, Homers, Richt Apologists, Willie Martinez was maintained at the time by Mark Richt as DC for 2006, stating to us fans that he was not going to get rid of Willie Martinez as his DC, a praying buddy college roommate of Mark Richt from Miami of Florida, where Mark Richt did not distinguish himself as a QB at.

2008 was simply a season to forget everything about. We were ranked # 1 in the nation pre-season by every single pre-season poll. That evening after the AP Poll # 1 Ranking, 22 of Mark Richt’s recruits went out on the town in barroom brawls and one even beat-up a Hospital. The lawlessness cemented into everyone’s minds across this great nation, that Mark Richt has No Discipline. He would win not only the Fulmer Cup, but propelled him to # 8 Fulmer Cup Standings All-Time through today 23 April 2012. On the field, he played 3 teams. Those 3 teams, who by the way, did beat teams who made the top 25, scored 31, 42 and 29 consecutive points on us – losing all 3 games against teams 2008 who did beat teams who made a top 25 poll. This was without a doubt the worst season in UGA football. We made it to # 13 in the AP Poll; had we started out # 13 AP Poll instead of # 1 Consensus, we would have dropped 13 places and not been ranked at all 2008. Florida meanwhile continued The SEC streak 6 NC in a row 2008 by beating two (2) teams who made the top 10.

2009 was further proof of just how out-of-control the program has become now-a-days. Joe Cox was made the Starter and well he set the all-time record for interceptions, starting even the Okie State game 2009 in which pre-game, I called for Zach Mettenberger to be the Starter. Joe Cox had a chronic sore shoulder, every week 2009 and still was the Starter, even though every week of the season, he had to sit out at least one full practice. In addition, prior to the Okie State debacle, in which Okie State did not even make the AP Poll Top 25 for the 2009 season, Joe Cox had the flu and had to fly in a separate Charter Flight to the game he was so ill. Still, no Zach Mettenberger. The season was Lost before the 1st game kick-off 2009 and I have not let up since. Nor do I plan on doing so. We followed up that loss in which Zach Mettenberger never got so much as 1 snap, with a blow-out loss AGAIN to a hapless AGAIN 7-6 vols team 2009. You think that was bad 2009 ? Kentucky a 7-6 team beat us too. I not sure I can even count all the games Joe Cox lost in 2009, but I recall LSU and Florida beating us too. How many losses is that ? 2009, it goes without saying right, that we were not ranked by any poll. Our Bowl game Reward ? Shreveport, since given by The SEC as a “destination.” 2009 Alabama continued the 6 NC by The SEC in a row by beating 3 teams who made the top 10, while of course Mark Richt once again beat none.

2010 I am sorry I will not write about 2010 except to point out that Auburn won 3 games against teams who made the top 10 and 7 games against teams who made the top 25 while we beat none of either, putting up a season in which you have go back 58 years all the way to 1953 to find an UGA team who lost more games than Mark Richt 2010.

2011 is just more of the same, as 2012 promises too – despite 2012 having a regular season “schedule” of 1 team of the 12 who made any top 25 poll. 2011, Alabama beat 2 teams who made the top 10 while once again Mark Richt not only beat no team who made the top 10 but once again beat no team who made the top 25, either AGAIN.

-not beat winning SEC record team starting Kentucky game 2007
-not beat any team any conference made top 25 after Ga tek 2009
-not beat any team any conference made top 10 after Auburn 2006
-lost 9 in a row vs winning SEC record team
-lost 7 in a row vs teams who made top 10
-lost 9 in a row vs teams who made top 25

And, you have the unmitigated gall to call me names bragging how Mark Richt is going win a NC when he is 3 wins out of 16 games vs top 10 teams while all these other teams have beat all these other teams who made the top 10 to become NC on Mark Richt’s watch ? There is no evidence whatsoever from his mouth, or his deeds, to indicate that he wants to do anything other than pray to Jesus.

Thanks. I tend to agree with you, Devon. While Georgia won’t enter the game against Missouri at full-strength, I think the Dogs’ defensive front seven will be formidable. And from what I saw last year of Mizzou’s defense, I don’t believe it’s yet SEC-ready.

“the argument can be made that his tendency to fumble or throw a pick 6 at the worst possible time might be at least in part attributable to the sketchy protection he was getting from Georgia’s erratic offensive line and, in the last couple of games, the lack of a consistent running attack.”

Ding!! Ding!!! Ding!!! Show him what’ he’s won Johnny!!! The idiotic Murray bashing is out of control. The dude proved himself to me in the 2010 Auburn game. He’s as tough as nails and can win us a championship if our half azzed O-line would ever get its act together. As far as I can tell, Aaron Murray is the only guy we’ve got on the offensive side of the ball with the heart of a champion now that Mitchell is on defense.

Auburn lost 5 games and did not make ANY top 25 poll. There were 27 teams who put up 10-Win seasons; we beat none of them. There were 36 teams who put up 9-Win seasons; again, we beat none of them. And, what Aaron Murray did to beat Auburn 2011 proved to you what his mettle is, because puny Aaron Murray has beat a grand total of two 8-win teams of which by the way there were 48 of them ?

McCarron would throw more picks if he had to throw more passes without a power running game to lean on

Murray had 14 INT’s in 403 attempts, one every 29 attempts
McCarron had 5 INT’s in 328 attempts, one every 66 attempts

If you think Boise was more talented as a team you are delusional and firmly gripped in denial

I think if you watched the UGA-Boise St game and thought, man that team in red is so much better then that team in white then you are firmly gripped in denial.

Oh, you want to compare UGA’s abd Boise’s records? By all means, compare the competition as well. You have no argument there or anything to back your assertion Boise is more talented. They are not, year after year, UGA will have better and more talented athletes. UGA will beat Boise 9 of 10 times with bad teams.

MISSOURI :

Over the last 3 decades MISSOURI has sucked at football. 8-5 this season just ended, Missouri has a SORRY DEFENSE, SORRY SPECIAL TEAMS, and no passing game with James Franklin.

Missouri sportswriters out there, think Missouri got an EASY SCHEDULE. Uh, you play ALABAMA, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Georgia BEAT Missouri in the Orange Bowl SHUTTING OUT MISSOURI, 14-0.

I think Missouri will find that they will GIVE UP TONS OF POINTS vs SEC teams with their lack of anything but a running offense. I don’t think they have the tools to call their schedule, a punk schedule 2012. A schedule of SEC PUNKS.

Cannot see it.

# 77 in Won/Lost Record over the entire last 3 Decades

MISSOURI

160 Wins
185 LOSSES
7 ties
___________________________________________________

160-185-7 over the last 3 Decades MISSOURI
___________________________________________________
And, Missouri has an easy schedule of PUNKS ?

The sportswriters in Kansas City Missouri think Missouri has a 2012 schedule of SEC Punks ?

I don’t think so.

The PUNKS on The SEC Schedules 2012 are MISSOURI Tigers.

Missouri has fared better against SEC teams than Texas A&M, that is for sure; but Missouri are the PUNKS 2012, not that some Kansas City sportswriter can write a story that Missouri has a schedule of SEC PUNKS.

# 77 football programs over the last entire 3 Decades

ARE PUNKS.

Missouri put forth the

# 61 NCAA Total Defense in 2011

Mizzou LOST its entire team from 2011.

MIZZOU 2011-2012 NCAA Rankings :
# 61 Total Defense NCAA
# 50 Net Punting
# 55 Punt Returns
# 53 Kick-Off Returns
# 94 Pass Defense
# 54 Sacks of Opposing Quarterbacks
# 71 on 3rd Down Conversions with your Offense
# 75 on 3rd Down Conversions allowed by your Defense

You get 50,000 fans at your stadium most games in the middle of nowhere, 1500 miles round-trip for me. Your stadium will be filled with Bulldogs. You have no idea what you are in for in The SEC. You don’t have a football team.

8-5 and you are world-beaters ?

I hardly think so. UGA is starting the season out ranked # 6 in the nation. Your running game will NOT be better than our running game. And, that’s all you’ve got : a running game.

It is a poor match-up Mizzou running offense against UGA’s Stout Rush Defense.

MIZZOU KEY LOSSES for 2012 :
___________________________
OFFENSE: Jerrell Jackson-WR, Wes Kemp-WR, Michael Egnew-TE, Jayson Palmgren-OG, Austin Wuebbels-OG, Dan Hoch-OT, Grant Ressel-K
DEFENSE: Jacquies Smith-DE, Terrell Resonno-DT, Dominique Hamilton-NG, Luke Lambert-SLB, Trey Hobson-CB, Kenji Jackson-SS

Mizzou is picked to come in # 42 next season. Welcome to The SEC. Missouri has lost its entire football team this off-season, except for its running quarterback and its running backs.

T.B
I try to call them like I see them. I believe Murray will have a great year because he will have a running game, which he didn’t have last year. I don’t like a pass-happy offense. I look for a running game and a defense to carry the day. You should have the ability to run the ball in the SEC, or you ain’t going far. I will be one of the first, calling for Murrays, Bobos and Richts ears if they don’t get the job done early. The thing is I believe Murray deserves to start, at least until he screws the pooch. Give him a chance this year and if it doesn’t work out, can him and give Mason a shot…

Wow. Last time I saw dogs beaten up on this badly was just before Michael Vick was arrested. Richt better hope that the direct pipeline from the KoolAid factory in Dalton to Athens is finished soon. They are going to need alot more of it this year.

@kingdaddy: Murray will have a better year because of running game, huh? Is the running game going to help murray grow taller, say from 5′11″ to 6″, is the running game going to make him smarter, doubtful, will running game make his arm strength stronger, HELL NO, will the running game improve his accuracy, HELL NO.

with the running game, Murray won’t have to throw so much. See how simple that was? Don’t let your hatred for Ga. cloud your better judgement. You know this is true, but you just want to argue. My batteries getting low…

Not sure Mason is going to be a starter here, barring some unforseen events. We are lucky to have him just in case. The “RS in waiting” year works well for us now and helps him even if he does decided to transfer later, which I still think he does.

But It’s hard to imagine LeMay not being the starter in 2014, and based on what I have seen, Ramsey will be the QB everybody is talking about after his RS year, and be the guy who gets in as the back.

Hopefully we can get to a point where we swap one 2 yr starter for the next RS Jjunior in line.

NICK MARSHALL is a better QB than Aaron Murray, and he’ll prove it. Hopefully for Auburn Just like the elite eleven kid from Marietta is a better QB than Brice Ramsey. He’ll prove it too. Hopefully for Florida. BRANDON GREENE is better than John Theus, and he’ll prove it for ALABAMA..Richt and Bobo know all of this, So what could it be? What’s working against these kids? What’s preventing Richt from signing them and allowing them to play the positions best suited for them.It’s a mystery isn’t it UGA fans (wink, wink). TALK ABOUT A CONSPIRACY! Do it Richt. Do it Booboo. Do it Friend. And most of all: DO IT DAWG FANS! Why can’t y’all simply admit what everybody already knows? Why can’t you just say it? Why can’t you say what you are?.COWARDS.

DawginLex – I normally stay away with anyone on the blogs that has Bama in their names. But I would bet you this guy tide roll has never been to an Alabama game in person and could probably not find Tuscaloosa on a map if it was tatooed to his assz.

We’re _ _ _ ists! There you did it. I know you feel better, and the truth certainly explains a lot. Especially concerning your offensive line recruiting, and why it will be another 31 years (minimum) before you win another national title. Hell, y’all have got to be upset the Kykle Karempilis “ain’t startin at tailback”. “He ain’t lazy”. Sheesh, what a program!
