		<description>Bobby Bowden is on the way out! Jimbo Fisher maybe too. I wonder if a FSU booster/board of directors are licking their chops for Richt. If Richt were to make a move it would be real soon.

Slowly Georgia is becoming worse and worse.Check the stats and the records. If other programs are not trying to steal your top assitants that ought to tell you something! I suspect their are maybe two more losses on the schedule we will see....</description>

		<description>A call taking a competitive fair outcome  away from the players is representative of the larger issue of over-officiating ruining the game. The whole concept of making the penalty fit the violation has gone out the window. What was wrong with &quot; inadverent facemask&quot; and &quot;running into the kicker&quot; being 5 yards. Now anything that resembles those infractions is 15 yard penalty-a huge difference than 5. Where did &#039;tackle boxes&quot; come from ?. And spotting the ball on the 35 was plenty of penalty for a kickoff out of bounds. Any hard hit (like Rashad Jones in OSU game) can draw 15 yard personal foul. Go ahead and take the next step- make the game two-hand touch. 

The NCAA rules committee and flag-happy officials have created a situation where they can impact the outcome more than the players. When I first started watching college football around 1979, SEC officials were considered the best and went virtually unnoticed during the games- because the rules were clear and concise and the officials didn&#039;t  try to be part of the show.  

Now I think the published stats for games and each team should include the actions of individual officials : # of  flags thrown, total yardage penalized, # of 1st downs awarded or taken away, overturned by review, etc. 

Either do that or return the games to the players.</description>

		<description>STFU you are retarded. LSU had scored one touchdown all day and to say that there chances would be just as good from our 38 as it would be from there 38 is ignorant. They would have thrown the ball rather than run cause they had to. Which would have made them very one dimensional and much easier to defend. I don&#039;t care how many times you say stop crying it does not change the fact that we won the game only to have it presented on a silver platter to LSU. It is much different to get the ball on the opponents 38 needing a field goal rather than a touchdown to win. So shut your pie hole idiot.</description>

		<description>For all you (not the refs fault) people out there. If the ball was kicked into the end zone, no return was made, ball on the 20 with 1:05 remaing would bet any amount of money that LSU could find a way to win that game. Not very likely, that&#039;s what I thought. Georgia was robbed by a bunch of low life refs looking to change a game. Was there money involved...who knows...</description>

		<description>Anyone who says that the penalty on UGA following Greens TD was THE reason UGA lost is flat out RETARDED.  These people are in denial that the exact same penalty was called on LSU after their touchdown.  I have not read 1 single post by anyone, including LSU fans, that says the Penalty was a good call.  UGA Head Coach even said BOTH penalties were bad calls, NOT just the 1 against UGA.   Lets just forget that LSU had a great return....Lets just forget that UGA had 46 seconds left, twice as much time as it took for LSU to score.  Lets just forget that Cox threw an interception to end UGA&#039;s chance of scoring. EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES....Stop crying and focus on Tennessee.  I will be pulling for the DAWGS.</description>

		<description>Glad to hear this morning that the SEC officially acknowledged that the UC penalty was unwarranted. No word on whether that crew will get remedial training, but the fellow who pulled that flag should have his pay withheld for that one.</description>

		<description>Blame Dooley for this rule...when he created it, he knew it would not affect UGA bc they were not scoring TDs anyway.  Little did Dooley know some 14 years later it would bite him in the butt.

Well deserved payback.</description>
