Extreme college football fandom can get ugly, but more often is something to celebrate
Georgia fans in D.C. put their lawn mower to good use. (Special)
We’ve seen the ugly side of extreme fandom recently with jury selection under way in the trial of Harvey Updyke, the Bama fan accused of poisoning the trees at Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner, and the photo circulating online of a particularly graphic “roadkill” version of UGA’s mascot apparently served up as the tasteless groom’s cake at the wedding of a couple of fans of some other school.
Football rivalries sometimes even result in violence, as has happened with fans fatally shooting each other over the outcome of Clemson-South Carolina and Alabama-LSU games.
But college football’s superfans are more likely to be hosting elaborate and expensive tailgate feasts before a game or hitting the road for weeks at a time in a Winnebago festooned in school colors to catch all their team’s games, home and away, wracking up years of perfect attendance.
Many other fans emblazon their cars or trucks with elaborate portraits of their team mascot. There’s even a company in Macon that will sell you a coffin sporting your team logo!
Others show their dedication to their team in more unorthodox, eye-opening ways. And like the anti-UGA cake, there’s something about weddings that seems to bring out the extreme fan. My wife works with a guy from South Carolina who told her about a Clemson fan’s wedding where the groomsmen wore white suits … with orange vests. And my son attended a wedding at a very upscale home in Columbus where the décor showed the owner’s devotion to the Auburn Tigers. The hallway to his son’s bedroom featured tiger-striped carpet and a tiger on the wall. And the totally Auburn-decorated bedroom itself had Trooper Taylor’s autograph on the wall. Literally. It wasn’t just something hanging on the wall that the AU assistant had autographed. Taylor literally had signed the wall of the kid’s bedroom! Now, that’s a fan with pull.

And then there are those superfans like my old Athens High classmate Mike “Big Dawg” Woods, who make themselves a walking billboard for their favorite school. The network TV cameras always find Mike’s bald head painted with the Georgia bulldog, but he’s not alone. It seems every team has one of them, from Washington’s Captain Husky to Ohio State’s Buck-I-Guy to Alabama’s Nathan Davis, whose entire body is decorated with Crimson Tide tattoos, including a mural featuring Bear Bryant that covers his entire back.
Some superfans show great creativity in displaying their fandom. It’s one thing to paint the Georgia “G” on your lawn a la Sanford Stadium, but when my son roomed in D.C. with Rusty and Ross, a couple of other recent UGA grads, they did something a bit more difficult, meticulously mowing the Georgia “G” into the backyard grass. Rusty also has a table featuring a mosaic of the Georgia “G” design made out of the caps of many bottles of beer consumed while cheering on the Dawgs.
The Georgia logo on this table is made up of beer caps. (Special)
And you’ve got to tip your official college logo cap to Tom Pounds, the Washington State fan who has made sure a Cougars flag is waved in the background on ESPN’s “College GameDay” every week since 2003, mailing the flag to a network of volunteer operatives across the country.
That’s dedication.

“Extreme college football fandom can get ugly”
You are correct about that Bill. As far as unis go, I think it is a toss up between the Power Ranger outfits that UGA wore vs. Boise last year and the all black Grambling look-alikes they wore vs. UF in Jax.

When you trash a kid for wanting to attend Clemson, or Alabama, or Vanderbilt, becuase you wanted him to play for “your” school, you’re an idiot and you need a source of self-esteem that doesn’t involve college football.
Also that Grantham is a classy one. He yells obscene remarks at opposing players on national tv and at opposing coaches that are trying to teach his players some class. If he was at any school outside the SEC he’d be mocked and fired.
Stay Classy Athens, lol.

For once, I agree with George Stein. It’s a cake. A groom’s cake at that. If it were a bee getting smashed by a fly swatter as a UGA groom’s cake, I’d find it very humorous.
Now killing trees that are sacred to a school’s tradition or putting one’s privates on an opposing team’s fan’s face while they are passed out — that’s just pure trash.

I think it’s cool when the dawgs change up their uniforms. The uniform has nothing to do with wins or losses. Its the players and how they play that day. And if it pumps up the fans and the players, Great. I think that’s why Oregon always changes. Even if they are a little extreme for my taste sometimes. It’ s about the FUN in college football. And I like the black sometimes

Bill, I will take you up on your photo request and send you a picture of my neighbors UGA flag here on the island that has been flying upsidedown ever since (as he so aptly stated it) Vince got shown the door and then kicked to the curb. He told me that the only way he would ever display it the way it should be is when UGA wins another NC, but he also said that he is not holding his breath waiting for that to come around again with the gang that is currently in charge in Athens. I told him it had only been a little over thirty years so maybe he should be a little more patient, but he is afraid he will not live long enough to see it happen. Poor guy.

Bill, first, don’t forget Super Dawg and his white long underwear and red cape at every home game.
Then there’s my Dad, Lou Scharff, UGA class of 1955. He has been a season ticket holder since he graduated. He started taking me to games when I was 5. He has been to well over 95 % of all games – home, away, and bowl games – since he graduated. I don’t think he has ever missed more than two games in any given year. His office at the Charlie Norwood VA here in Augusta is a shrine to all things UGA and Dawgs. He was a cheerleader for two years, and at 79 years old and even with a bad back, he still (as he has every year since the first Cheers reunion) should be out on the field running with the Dawgs as they come out during the pre-game at Homecoming.

You are right about our mole. I was with that person the night Steve Spurrier lit him up for 55 points while he was a db at UGA. Chris Doering is still running wide open.
However, that night the mole said he hated the orange and blue with a passion and hoped Gainesville would fall into a pit. That type of hatred does not go away.

UGA fans gotta be among the best tail-gaters in the country. College football does get crazy. I remember when we played Alabama in ‘76 ….the tracks were full THURSDAY afternoon. For those too young to remember, the railroad tracks were a hot-spot to sit for the games prior to the end of the stadium being closed in. Those were some “sho-nuff” fans! When the bus pulled up and our guys got out to go into the stadium, the tracks cheered louder than imaginable! It really pumped the team up!

Trash talking is part of the fun, so is cakes, banners flags, painting faces..etc. When you strat destroying property, injuring persons and verbal assalts on children, I draw a thick line. I married a girl from Florida, her whole family are die hard gaytor fans. Her brother is married to a girl from Bama, and also a die hard fan. I enjoy watching the game in Jax every year with my inlaws. We even made the trip a few times to Jax to see it in person. We joke and trash talk and have fun! I have seen Gator fans start fights, and Dawg fans start fights. But I have to say I’ve seen more started by Gaytor fans. My wife and brother inlaw agree about the class of the UF fan base verus UGA fan base..UGA fans have more class, and a game in Athens is much more pleasant. We all need to stop and realize words and signs and cakes are fun..but fighting people and killing trees..is just plain dumb. Cheer for your team! your Coach! your School! Get lost in the momment of the Game..try to forget that your school will never be as classy or play in a city as nice as the DAWGS!!! GATA!!!

From the article three years ago:
“It takes 200 to 300 people on Sunday morning to pick up and bag up all the trash, throw it on a truck and haul it out to the landfill. A typical day game produces 35 to 40 tons of trash. A night SEC game like this we have 70 or more tons.”
I guess you didn’t know that UGA solved that problem. Now they have all of the pre-game tailgating and parking at the Athens-CC landfill. Then they bus all of the fans back and forth to the stadium. Killed two birds with one stone; they didn’t have to move the trash and it kept the drunks from driving to the game.

Just rewatched last years UF game on Youtube…. I think the Dawgs don’t deserve a top ten ranking. I love ‘em, but they haven’t earned it. There’s a good chance Mizzou, SC, UT, and UF will light up our back field. The one thing we have going for us is that our D-line can limit the other guys running game. It won’t take much to improve on Special Teams, but a lot of improvement is needed. Same for the O-line that doesn’t stand to be as good as this past season’s. On a happier note, I believe that Crowell can be a premier college back. I like Murray, but I hope he has matured some. He gets all up in his head at times.
I hope I’m wrong about most all of the above.

Don’t fret Dawgs, much will be made about UGA’s suspensions, Crowell, ect. All is well. Richt will have his best year yet. He lived up to the “Win the East or your gone” mantra last year, and I believe he has a chip on his shoulder. I remember Richt’s early years at UGA, where in interviews such as the ones done after the D.A., drunk, P.O.S extraordinaire Pat Dye started all the crap about Georgia not being “Man enough” to beat Alabama. Richt did not back down one bit, actually said something like,”Bring it on and we’ll see what we can do about it”. The fan base was fired up, the team was fired up, and everyone really believed in the Dawgs again after Donnan and Quincy Carter stunk it up for two or three years. The Bulldog nation needs to quit whining, get behind Richt and this year’s version of the Junkyard Dawgs who decided that their returning for senior season would bring about something special in 2012. We have not seen anything like this happen from a player standpoint in many years. As far as predictions go, I for one do not want any more love for the Dawgs than they are getting. The “If Georgia’s OL can jell, maybe they can…”, or “If Crowell can meet expectations this time around, maybe they can…, or the “If Murray can avoid the sacks and turnovers maybe they can…” This is exactly what the team needs are challenges and doubting about what the Dawgs can actually accomplish from the writers, because this has always been the kind of environment that Georgia thrives on historically. Richt is not the kind of coach that is going to come out on his own with a bunch of trash talk such as someone like Les Miles spews, but when he is cornered, much like last year when he went a little berserk and said “I know what the hell I’m doing”, it actually did show the old Richt fire, and while depth problems, and some old pass dropping problems like Richt has had to deal with in the past kept Georgia from beating LSU, Richt has had success in shoring up the depth problems, and has had success in the past on shoring up problems like Murray has with turnovers. (See Stafford years).
All of the prognosticators seem to be together on UGA winning the East, but most predict a Georgia loss in the SEC Championship Game. I believe that if the Dawgs are in good shape nationally going into Atlanta that they will not be stopped. They will be “Man enough”, Patsy.

Columbus Dawg,
I agree with you. However, equally detrimental to the Dawgs is the talk about how we they are going to be great because they play an easy schedule. I think that’s BS. As I mentioned I rewatched the UF game from last season. UF has a lot of great athletes that will come to play. UT has one of the best QBs in the nation. Mizzou has a great pass offense, and we will have key guys out in the backfield. Spurrier has an innate hatred for UGA and a bunch of weapons at his disposal. Nobody is going to lay down for the Dawgs because some reporters and gamblers ranked them in the top ten. I hope our guys don’t believe the hype. They need to be working their tails off this summer, or this fall could get real ugly, real quick.

Well said……I must point out to Columbus Dawg that ONE of the things he mentioned is in fact a problem…..THE O-LINE MUST STEP UP! Richt let his foot slip in this ONE area, and it has been exposed. If Friend can find a way to make them play above their heads (and thats what they will have to do) then we have a decent shot at greatness. Murray and Bobo toted alot of the blame, when in fact the less than stellar o-line play FORCED each or them into some tough situations. I have faith that Friend will bring them around. They’ll look good against the weaker teams, but towards the end of the season will they rise to the challenge? We will see………be assured that if our o-line can exceed expectations then Bobo and Murray will suddenly look much better. This is where the game is won/lost, and we let our recruiting slip a little in this area; it cost us last year.

old dog, I’m not as astute on my stats as someone like Altamaha Dawg, but I think I’m pretty level headed common sense wise. No argument that we’ve had guys drafted into the NFL the last several years from our OL. Why with NFL caliber talent anchoring the line can’t they get it done? The answer is seems quite obvious, either coaching or motivation. Either way it boils back to coaching. I like Columbus Dawg’s attitude but can’t help but call this staff out for their performance the last “number” of years.

Mobile Dawg,
Yeah, we have a few drafted but what has happened is that cumulitively we have not had the talent top to bottom (on the o-line.) We’ll have one star, and the rest are average to below average. It is a known fact that we: A. let some great recruits get out of here and: B. did not concentrate as highly on the o-line as we did in other areas. Therefore, we get a great grade overall, because other than the o-line we signed pretty well. We were not out-coached or out schemed as much in the Boise State, LSU, and Michigan State games as we were just plain old fashioned man-handled. We coulda won all those games, but the other teams eventually saw they could whoop us up front and adjusted accordingly. We had no answer, because when you get man-handled up front all else falls back. Thats not saying that other aspects of our coaching/team do not need inprovement. But to anyone who ever played the game, this was by FAR our most glaring weakness. I hope that their (and Friend’s) goal is to put the doubters to rest. They will have to play a little above themselves this year, and they can. To dominate in the SEC, that o-line has gotta be top-notch!

BRYANT, what the hell is that supposed to mean? old dog, I hear you, the OL absolutely MUST step up in order to succeed. An article about Friend’s “drive blocking” scheme versus Searels’ “zone blocking” scheme sheds light. Last year was the second year in Grantham’s defensive philosophy, and great improvement was noticeable. Will Friend’s philosophy is to get on your man and do not let him beat you. If the second year of this scheme shows as much improvement as the D, then i think the Dawgs are in good shape. Erk used to say that there were going to be games on the schedule that players would have to “Rise to the occasion”, in order to win. I agree that there will be times where players must play a little over their heads at times in order to achieve greatness, and the 2012 BCS National Championship Game was a perfect example. Alabama’s receivers played over their heads in that game, and really showed the first real signs of a prolific passing game for the Tide, as compared to the way they played the regular season. I have little doubt that T. King and M. Mitchell will forget the dropped passes in the first half of the LSU game, and would fully expect the whole receiving corps to reflect on that and make sure it does not happen again. I agree that there are SEVERAL areas that absolutely must be improved on, special teams being another, but having been there last year, and knowing what caused the break downs has got to help in fall camp preps for the “Great Championship Run of 2012 for The Georgia Bulldogs Football Program”.

Old Dawg,
I have to disagree with you about the Dawgs being manhandled. The MSU loss is on richt’s shoulders for mismanaging the end of the game and clock. Boise State didn’t really manhandle the Dawgs: it was just that they were a mature, well-disciplined team vs. a young and psyched out bunch of Dawgs. It would have been a different ball game later in the season. LSU manhandled the Dawgs in the second half, but the Dawgs D manhandled LSU in the first half. The stats for all of these games and the South Carolina are pretty even. The only time all season that I saw the Dawgs just really get whooped was the 2nd half of the LSU game.

I agree with the statement about scheme and the OL problems. Some plays take to long to develop. there were some missed assignments in the backfield, and as good as I think Crowell will be this year, sometimes he would hesitate before hitting the hole. I think the Dawgs would benefit from quicker developing plays and completely abolish that pass to the flats that is a DB’s wet dream and resulted in a few pick-6s.

Boise State (and we’ll just have to disagree on this) DID whoop us good up front! We were youg, yeah, but at the end w/a year under their belt they still got whooped! Again, I think we will learn and improve, and there are always areas to improve in! I’m just saying the o-line needs the MOST improvement. Learning how to run-block is a start!

It’s inbred. So if you never actually ‘loved’ UGA, at least as much as most of us do, then do what you think will make you happy. But ask yourself how happy you’ll be if your kicker moves on…without you? Or you come to realize that a guy and/or his family that wouldn’t respect your feelings now enough to welcome you into their circle without hassling you about it, probably won’t respect your feelings in the years to come…not to throw a wet blanket on this Happily Ever After story.

I disagree, we were not “manhandled” per se’ in the MSU at any point. By the 4th qtr the defense was pure gassed. 3 and out offense will take a toll a defense and it was never more evident than in that game. Very poor play calling and offensive production. Richt was content to let the defense win the game when against a pretty stellar MSU team, that wasn’t going to happen. MSU was a good team, not “better” than UGA but the better coaching prevailed on that day

When Mark Richt coached at FSU and they had Randy Moss, he once told his QB during a game to try and throw the ball as far as he could to see if over throw Moss. The QB responded by throwwing the ball as far as he could and of course Moss pulled the full stretch to bring it in. The QB recently recalling the story said Richt could not stop smiling about it the rest of the game. If we could get rid of the palyer and admin drama, I am convinced that if the game could be fun again for Richt, Georgia could turn the corner and start winning the big games again.

Which goes back SOME to play calling, but also (once again) to poor o-line play! I promise I ain’t over statin’….it was like the 2nd day of the Alamo….they were coming from everywhere. We could not run-block at all….our pass blocking broke down, and we lost even though we were the better team! Thats why our defense was gassed…we couldn’t keep them off the field ONCE THEY DECIDED to challenge us up front. they musta watched the 2nd half of LSU, and Boise State. We will be better, and everyone has a right to their opinion. But for those who ever played the game in any level, it is obvious we were lacking up front. A great line makes the backs, QB and OC look better every time!

The only slight disagreement that I did have with you was this: Even a “great” line does not make a 5′6″ walk-on a SEC caliber RB. Or for that matter, make an actual SEC caliber RB less gimpy on a torn ankle ligament. Anymore than a “great” RB can make his terrible line look good for very long. I would rather have merely average ratings on both, than either of those situations.
What I believe we ALL can agree with is that an offense can’t have the the worst of both world, and beat any top 10 teams.

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with you regarding the offensive line. I am certainly not. The O-line and special teams are make or break for 2012. I do think, however, that if a team does not have a solid O-line, plays can be called that will help matters instead of making them worse. Michigan State did have a big, bad line. You are correct about BSU, as well. In the Michigan State game, though, one first down woud have put it away. I think you are also right that the Dawgs will take some important lessons away from 2011. The 2012 team will be more seasoned except for the O-line.

I think you do more hurry up offense. I think you hit holes fast and be satisfied with three yard runs. Maybe more timing routes for receivers. I loved that pass behind the receiver thing they were pulling off last year. I’m no coach, I just hate to see the delayed fake draw thing that takes five seconds to develop. I am actually a big Mark Richt fan, and I have even defended Bobo at times. My one criticism is a tendency to get too conservative too quickly especially in big games.

Absolutely there were better plays/calls we could have run. I’m not attempting to be critical of Richt’s play calling in that game (maybe I am) but it was really bad. As chazzo mentioned that MSU Dline was eating some lunch and CMR/CMB response was Charlton Thomas up the middle. It wasn’t just a few possessions, it was pretty much all day long. The play calling was quite horrific in that game

Agree chazzo, the play calling pretty much stays the same, regardless of the talent. The mindset of the OC, IMO needs to be more creative, to play to the strengths and weakness of any given team. I think this is Bobo’s problem, not being able to analyze what a defense will give him and just take advantage of that.

Well first of all, i didn’t ask if the playcalling was ineffective from your perspective. Or about better plays to run from your experience. I was asking about (well making a sarcastic point about) better plays that THEY knew of. Plays they they thought would work, but choose to not run them.
Secondly. a draw up the middle with a speedy RB IS a startegy to slow down a pass rush. If thats what happened.Lastly, i would be willing to bet that if you looked at the actual play by play from ALL the games in the past 2 years you would see that (Carlton Thomas up the middle) was “called” very rarely in reality. Greatly exagerated meme, whenever playcalling is brought up. And I airquote “called” because I believe the QB has the final word on that from the line.
In this particular game that you offer as an example, if that were100% of the times he touched the ball, it would have been twice.

yet another athens high classmate of bill king’s.
the journalists of the greatest generation were selfless reporters of the news…just doing their jobs, not looking for credit. the journalists of the baby boom can’t waste a moment to tell us about their “greatness.”
true greatness = selflessness. that’s why we have so many problems today.

A few comments about UGA:
1. Four different SEC teams have won the last six BCS championships.
2. UGA was not one of those teams.
3. During that period, UGA did not win the SEC championship.
4. Red panties.
In other words, UGA has sunk into total irrelevancy both regionally and nationally.
So why is UGA paying Mark Richt millions of dollars a year?

I bet pasting that on the Georgia blog sites once a week for the past year has become quite the social event at the tech freshman dorm.

Bubba and Homer (life long UGA season ticket holders) are sitting on the 50 yard line before the game starts and UGA is standing outside of his dawghouse and precedes to clean himself. Homer sees him, elbows Bubba and says “Bubba don’t you wish you could do that?” Bubba thinks momentarily and replies “Naw, he’s liable to bite”.

What WAS funny about that was watching another geek awkwardly butcher a 20 yr old jokethat they just learned.

The truth that you are telling a 20 yr old joke, poorly? I don’t understand your question.

Red panties? Wow…. I’ve totally sunk into a depression over that enormous slam. You mean a former AD that sucked got drunk and cheated on his wife, and that somehow has something to do with our football players?
Not only is it completely irrelevant, but that guy is gone. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Red panties… that kills me. That’s all you got.

The irony is: The use of the term “red panties” serves only to embarrass the little googers who think it’s some sort of a slam.

I have no opinion one way or the other about Washington State, but it is pretty cool that a school like that is able to have the flag waived every GameDay broadcast.

Red panties and hash browns, if you want to to slam correctly. Along with two halves to a basketball game.
