UGA fans, what’s an acceptable result in Jacksonville?

I hope we can stay wihin a TD in the 4th quater and only lose by 10-12 points in a fairly low scoring game say 24-14 hators

it’s like with Dallas fans right now who know Wade Phillips will NEVER lead them to anything.

You know, the REALISTIC Dallas fans, and not the crazy ones. The ones who know that with every win Wade has in the regular season, pushing his team close to a Wild Card, the more their meddling owner will preen like the plastic surgery peacock he is and say, “I was right, Wade IS the right guy to coach my team!”

Yes, in this analogy, Mark Richt = Jerruh Jones.

Does ANYONE out there want Mark Richt to be able to point to THIS game as the reason he refuses to fire Martinez? Even though we’re gonna get stomped by Tech anyway?

This win would allow for a stomped by Tech or a lose to Auburn situation and still allow Willie to keep his job.

But, in the end, it’s all moot anyway.

We’re talking Willie Marinez, people!

The man Erik Ainge and John Parker Wilson owe their NFL careers, whatever they amount to, to.

The man, when given two weeks to plan for Tech, didn’t do what any intelligent coach would have done (introduced a 3-4 and 46 package into his defense to counter act all the running backs).

Martinez will seal his own doom, so I don’t have to do as Dallas
fans or Redskin fans or Cleveland fans are doing, and root AGAINST my team.

But God help us if we actually win.

Acceptable result: a Georgia win or loss where the team fights from starts to finish and doesn’t fold like a wet blanket at the first sign of adversity. We’ve seen way too much of that in recent years against several teams (Tennessee being the most inexplicable). Just play Florida the same way LSU, Arkansas and Miss. St. did in recent weeks, and win or lose I’ll be proud of the Dawgs.

An acceptable loss will show improvement on both sides of the ball, heart, fire and leadership. Only glimpses of each have been seen in any game this season, and never all at once. If we make Tebow look like the Heisman player he once was, after what teams like Miss State and Arky did to him, then Willy is gone. If we lose, Willy may only be demoted if CMR doesn’t want him gone. A win will not assure holding the DC title another year. Dominate the rest of the season defensively, then we have a problem with Willy.

But nothing we have done for two years now makes me believe we will play consistently during this game, nor in the future games. I used to believe in the old adage that “Any given Saturday, any team can win.” Heck, it happened last year vs Tech when we rolled up more than 500yds of offense including 400yds passing, 42 points and Tech still won. Blind squirrels seem to live a long time, especially in St. Simons. But I am Pessimist Pete for this game. I fully expect our D to look flummoxed at times, and Rennie Curran, all 205 lbs of him, sweating to make every tackle because there is no one else doing it. Where would we be without the mighty mite?

So I will take a steady improvement. Do what Arky and Missy State did, hold them to barely 20+ points. Score a couple of touchdowns in real football time (not in the last 5 minutes of a meaningless game). Make Tebow work for it, not let him have a day where he looks like a Garcia, Crompton or Mallett against us. For once, beat the Vegas line in a big game. It won’t be a moral victory, but at least if we have some passion and heart, it will mean I won’t automatically write us off for the rest of the games.

Mark,
Being a life time Dawg fan I am really depressed in thinking that in the back of my mind I am hoping that Georgia gets blown out buy Florida and loses the rest of there games to force CMR into changing the present coaching staff. I am afraid if the do win Saturday CMR will have all the reason to keep Willie ‘’soft zone “M.

These coaching changes should have been made last year .The Dawg nation were given one excuse after another. If CMR claims that he does not have the talent as the other schools in the S.E.C.they need to fire him on the spot. Just on the basis’s of stupidity alone.

‘’NO MORE EXCUSES CMR GROW SOME STONES AND CLEAN HOUSE’’!!!

Bradley’s question is one of those that doesn’t deal in reality so it really is mute to begin with. Losing is unacceptable. Martinez’ defense has been unacceptable all season (and last). Bobo’s offense and Searles’ o-line have been unacceptable as well. The outcome of this one game shouldn’t change anyone’s evaluation of the state of UGA’s football program. Truthfully, the only way I can see UGA winning is if Florida turns the ball over multiple times and beats themselves. Florida has looked vulnerable the last few weeks because the teams they played either have good defenses (which UGA doesn’t) or good offenses (which UGA doesn’t). No, UF doesn’t look like a team that will hang 50 points on you and leave you in the dust, but they don’t have to because they have a defense that can dominate you (Willie take notes please). I think UGA loses a closer one than the line because UF’s offense is pedestrian but ours is worse. UF 27 – UGA 17

The criticism of Willie is totally misplaced. He has done the best he could and he didn’t twist Richt’s arm to get the job. The criticism should be placed squarely on Richt, who hired him and has kept him. Here is the problem:

Trailing by a 7 and with a first-and-goal at the 1, host Georgia had time for at least two and most likely three passing attempts. But Richt decided to run Jasper S(t)anks. He was stuffed for no gain and time ran out on Georgia.

Points scored by Richt’s offense vs the four major teams-SC,UT,UF,AU- that UGA plays every year and that know Richt’s offense.
17-6-17-9-10-13-18-13-13-20-14-17-10-18-14-12-14-14-10-19=65% scores 20 or less

Unless UGA shuts down the Florida offense and then goes on to defensively dominate the rest of their opponents, I suspect that CMR will make a change to a new defensive coordinator next season. I doubt they would make a change at both offensive and defensive coordinator during the same offseason. They have too many good athletes on the team. Just with their athletes alone, they should be able to defensively challenge my beloved YellowJackets.

It’s been a very odd year seeing UGA play below their level of talent. Mark Richt seems like a compassionate and classy guy. But compassionate and classy just doesn’t seem to cut it in football…as many folks have noted on AJC blogs prevously. They need to hire or recruit and Erk Russell type coach (Dang, he was good!!) or David Pollick type player to motivate that team and bring out the energy. Maybe they could hire David Pollick as an assistance coach in hopes of creating a spark. They need to do something.

I hope they rebound against Florida and play the rest of the season like the Bulldogs of old. I don’t want them to beat Tech, but I want it to be a good battle. This state should have two highly ranked teams for several seasons to come…maybe even a few national championships between the two schools. It’s CMR’s time to step up and get things back on track. They really need a victory in Jacksonville.

With Dawg teams of years past, I would have said that a ‘moral victory’ doesn’t exist in our vocabulary. Are we now at the point that we know we don’t have a chance to win games and we will settle for a ‘moral victory’ and feel good with it??? I will not feel good about any loss. But given that we are most likely going to lose this one, I would at least like to see us play Florida on the level that Tennessee did. I would like to see our offense score some points (with the run and pass), put pressure on Tebow most of the game, not collapse in the 3rd or 4th quarter, not get a lot of penalties, not have any turnovers, see our O line blocking for runs, and not see any more childish calls by our coaching staff. I guess that’s a tall order to still not win.

A win is acceptable unlikely as it is.I don’t think Coach Martinez should be retained even if we shut Florida out.But there will probably be arguments made for him if we they score less than 30.We should never hope for a loss in any case ESPECIALLY against Florida.The fact is the people who write to this blog(including me) don’t know half as much as they need to know (or half as much as Coach Richt knows) to determine who should be fired. I’ve said it before: the fans who call for Coach Richt’s ouster don’t know the history of Georgia football. They are spoiled by the success Coach Richt brought us:No SEC title since 82, no division title even until he arrived. Tied for best record in the SEC 1999-2009. I know Coach Donnan was in Athens the first two of those years. Comparing Richts’s recent record to Donnan’s latter record is cooking the books. You have to look at what Georgia has always been and everything Coach Richt brought us his entire tenure.If Coach Richt stubbornly clings to Coach Martinez after we lose 2 or 3 more and get embarrassed by Florida and or Tech and then we have an equally embarrassing year next year the we have to consider the possibility that Coach Richt has lost his grip and is not in touch with reality. Whether Damon will let it get to that point or not I don’t know.Damon’s opinion is the only one that counts in any case. We can all see that our talent has not been coached up recently. A pity that.History suggests that we can upset Florida. I was at the game in 1965 when we upset Bear Bryant with the flea-flicker. But that was a miracle. It will take another miracle to win tomorrow. Let’s hope it happens.

If the season had turned out differently for Florida and they were crushing teams by 30, I’d say keeping it close with this team would be ideal.

But Florida is barely beating teams. They lose to Arkansas but somehow the refs penalize Arky to a Florida victory. They struggled with Miss. State big time. They struggled with Tennessee.

This is not the same Florida team that had Percy Harvin and a couple of other breakout receivers.

Georgia has had two weeks to prepare for this game. Florida has played several tough games in a row. Monte Kiffin layed the blueprint out there on how to stop Florida.

It’s there for Georgia to win. A victory is all that’s acceptable.

A acceptable result Saturday? The Dawgs don’t have to prevail by 39 points. Heck, they don’t even have to win. An honorable acquittal of their collective football character would be nice after last year’s buggering.

I’ve been a UGA fan (not fanatic) my whole life. Never in that time have I seen the Dawgs humiliated – make that emasculated – like they were last year. Now that unpleasant spectacle appears to be a watershed moment for Georgia football – It’s when we lost our credibility as an elite program.

Last year’s loss was the result of many things – not the least of which that Florida was just flat a better team with better coaches and superior talent. That explains a loss, but it doesn’t excuse what Georgia allowed Florida to do to them last year in front of a national TV audience.

Anybody can lose, but your opponent can humiliate you only if you let him. UGA let the Gators have their way with them last year. They were totally unprepared from every possible angle to play that game – and their ignoble effort will live in Dawg infamy.

I haven’t seen anything in the 2009 bunch that leads to believe this year’s outcome will be much different than last.

We’ll see.

At the same time, I want a HC that can make appropriate realizations about the state of the program. If UGA were to shut UF out that wouldn’t signal that the D is revived.

Here what happens. CWM plays it his way until the fire gets white hot. From there he’ll go outside his personal comfort zone and blitz a little, just enough, to make it appear as thought the D has improved. Then back to Williville. All with Richt’s blind blessing.

I’ll be satisfied with a victory, but proud of our players no matter what. They work hard and seem to have more fight than they did last year, for whatever reason. My guess is that they are playing more like a team than a support system for Moreno and Stafford…who let them down in the end.

But I have given up on the coaches. They are paid handsomely to do their job, and in my opinion (since you asked for it) they are failing the players and the University of Georgia. Coach Richt has put his loyalty in his college roommate, Willie Martinez, a man who has consistently failed as a DC, over a university with one of the longest winning traditions in the history of college football; a university who will pay him $2.8 million next year. He’ll probably exhibit the same loyalty to Bobo, who still hasn’t proven himself as an OC. We either let great coordinators get away or refuse to hire better.

I’m convinced Richt’s a nice guy and a family man. I’m also convinced the University of Georgia needs a new head coach.

So, who are you more loyal to as fans? Mark Richt, who has been coaching at UGA for less than 10 years, or UGA? The university that’s been playing college football since 1892.

1st there is no such thing as a “moral” victory. A loss is a loss period. Only losers go around saying, “Wow! we ALMOST won!”

However Mark, you do bring up an interesting question, and it’s a “lesser of two evils”.
-Lose big to the gators and guarantee a new DC
-Win and risk as Bug Killer pointed out- CMR “being able to point to this game as reason he refuses to fire Martinez”

I know a lot of people are calling for Bobo’s head as well, but I don’t think he’s as much of the problem as Willie, and will be better with A.Murray at QB next year.

That being said I think the best case scenario is a UGA win with a 42-38 kind of score, but I’ve got a better chance at winning the lottery than seeing that score this weekend.

For any of this to happen Willie would have to actually go away from his stale cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all SOFT zone defense and put together an ACTUAL game plan. Like Crompton said, “We got the right play calls because we knew what they were going to do.”

Mark:
Rationalizing losing to Florida in the hope that it might force a defensive coaching change next year ought to be incomprehensible to any real Dawg fan. Aside from foolish decisions that risk aggravating player injuries, winning today’s game fairly is all that matters. Any coach knows that you don’t play today’s game with one eye focused on next week. That’s a great way to guarantee losing today. When we play Florida, nobody in that stadium is going to be thinking about Auburn or Tech, even though loosing to Florida might help make Auburn or Tech overconfident and brighten those prospects. Why would any serious fan go into a game rationalizing losing today as somehow brightening tomorrow? Save that nonsense for Sunday morning. Who knows; you may not need it.

The only acceptable outcome is for Georgia to win and still have Martinez fired at the end of the year but Florida will roll and Georgia will appear to be on its way to 6-6 with Martinez headed out the door. But wait, Georgia beats Auburn and thus finishes 7-5 and goes to on to win its low tier bowl game(with a defensive production not seen all year) and ends the year at 8-5 and Martinez saves his job for one more year.

Entire staff including Richt need to move on. Next year, with the same running backs, the same problem at Qb ( inexperience ) and the same defense and the same coaches, UGA will be in the same boat. Richt has taken this ship as far as he can. He is 100% pre occupied with personal issues.

Prediction. Florida hangs 40+ points on Willie’s poor defensive schemes. Cox throws two interceptions and the running game is grounded. Mark Richt is quoted after the game as saying that ‘its too early to be discussing coaching changes, the season isn’t over yet….we just need to execute better.’

Ihope we win 56-55. That way we get the win and Willie still gives up a ton of points. That sounds like a win-win. Willie HAS to go for the program to get better moving forward. But I will NEVER wish for a Dawg loss. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!

The end zone dance in 07 pretty much sealed the Dawgs fate for the next 20 years. That stupid little celebration is going to be bulletin board fodder for generations to come. Our children’s, children will look back on that infamous day and say WHY!!!!
The Dawgs cannot compete and will not compete for any SEC titles until Willie figures out (or gets fired) that the zone read defense just isn’t going to cut it anymore in the SEC. Now that Saban, Kiffin and Myer are running these spread and NFL style offenses.
The Dawgs have the athletes to compete but they lack the leadership and coaches that other teams have. Don’t get me wrong CMR is one of the greatest human beings walking the earth, outstanding family man, great for the community. But he needs to put personal feelings aside and clean house at the end of the season or he may be packing up himself.
And let’s not forget about the king of the screen pass OC Bobo. He needs to cast a bronze statue of AJ Green (the best receiver in the country) at his house for making him look like he knows a little bit about what he is doing this year.
If the worst rated QB in the SEC, Jonathan Crompton can have a career day against the Dawgs. What do you think Superman; I mean Tebow is going to do to that defense. Let’s just hope that they don’t hang half a hundred on them.

Quote: An acceptable loss will show improvement on both sides of the ball, heart, fire and leadership.

The team showed much of that this season but they were outcoached. The team fought LSU and UT until the end.

Monte showed the blueprint on how to beat UF?

No CWM did 2 years ago and this UF team is looking much the same. The difference is UGA has no offense to score. Bobo had 6 3 and outs to LSU and another 6 to UT. UF has a better defense this year than 2 years ago as well as UT or LSU.

I agree with postr above I see UF getting 27 to 35 and UGA getting 3 or 6 in a boring long trainwreck UF never looks like a #1 offense and UGA looking like a mid tier team. If a TD is scored it is from a kick return or defense running back a turnover.

All that said I hope UGA somehow pulls the miracle and Bobo and CWM have come up with creative ways to win the game launching this UGA team like the ‘06 victory over Auburn. (Yes I know it is unlikely but thats the dream)

I believe the question was get a win and maybe keep Willie, or lose and be rid of him? I hope they destroy us and in the process score 50+. I want a new DC! Keeping Willie will do far more long term damage to our program than yet another thrashing at the hands of the Gators in Jacksonville.

I wish I had enough faith in Coach Richt to make objective decisions about our DC (and other staff issues) with or without a win in Jacksonville. I am steadfastly behind Coach Mark Richt, but I feel unfortunately that he will likely seek to use this game (should we win) to try an politic his way out of making some obviously needed changes. Namely WILLIE!!!!! I really hate that I feel this way, but I do.

Of course I will be happy if we win. The players work hard and deserve it.

GMan-In a rival game you can throw all the stats out the window.

The difference in this game will come down to 1 thing: Gameplaning.

IF the coaches actually sat down with the extra week and came up with a plaf for the gators, then we have a better than average chance of winning.

If however they run the same “one-size-fits-all” offense and defense, then the gators are going to tee off on us on both sides of the ball.

We will see on Sat.

I think all the talk of coaching changes et al does absolutely nothing to help the program that we as UGA fans all cherish. Just let it go until after the last play of the last game and then I am quite confident it will be dealt with appropriately.

As for the game, no doubt we are prohibitive underdogs. I do think the week off gives us a definite advantage/plus. Will it be enough to pull the unthinkable or even keep it close — heck, who knows. I don’t think Florida is nearly the team they were last year — not even close. I think Bama would man handle them if they were playing this week. But, they are still better than us on paper by a comformtable margin.

I predicted on a message board frequented by many that we would be 8-4 or 7-5 before the season. I stand by that — unfortunately that could be in jeopardy also. I am not satisfied with the program at this moment but I am patient enough to realize that this staff has done some really good things and I am not willing to throw them over the cliff just yet.

Only stupid redneck trash want Mark Richt fired, Bradley. Unfortunately internet is a widely available commodity these days.

You’ll not find a single fan that is an actual GRADUATE of the University of Georgia that wants to see Mark Richt fired. That is possibly the single dumbest assertion I’ve ever heard (other than that one about the public option being an affordable answer to health care reform).

To answer your original question: I’ve never been one for moral victories. A close loss would be better than a blowout loss, but it would still be a loss, and I don’t feel that we could project that we played that much better. After all, Arkansas and MSU have given the Gators all they can handle… I would hope we could at least match their efforts. That said, there is no way on God’s green earth that I would EVER hope for a loss, so that my opinionated wishes that a certain assistant be fired come true. That is selfish and wrong. (And Dawg fan, if you’re reading this and you are one of those hoping for a loss, please take all your Georgia clothing and memorabilia and drop it off at the goodwill. You don’t deserve it. )

I do think staff changes are coming, but the bottom line is that I trust coach Richt to make the best decision for the team. How shortsighted is it to question the man who has taken UGA to heights that it hasn’t seen since the days of Herschel? It is embarrassing to me, both as a graduate and a fan, that these discussions are even happening. We have one of the top coaches in America. Countless schools would kill to have Mark Richt head of their program. Don’t forget that people. We’re having a tough year. It happens to the best of them. Get over it.

If Florida doesn’t fumble the ball (keeping fingers crossed) and thow any easy pics (praying hard) then player for player in terms of talent, there is no way Florida will lose this game. But it is Halloween night and the spooks come out to play …

As for Coach Richt. He is a great coach but he is too much like Ron Zook in terms that he wants to be the player’s friend. He needs to be their DI and enforce discipline. If you look at the recent series between UGA and UF .. that is the key difference. Florida has had three coaches who were very stern and disciplined their players. Georgia hasn’t been so fortunate.

Even though I am a Gator and have enjoyed the results of the last 19 years, I think your AD needs to start looking for a new coach. The coach who I think would be a great addition to the SEC is noneother than the current University of Buffalo Coach and former Nebraska star Gill Turner. Not only is he well spoken, a great coach, he would keep the talent in Georgia and take away talent from Georgia Tech. In order to be one of the best in the SEC, you have to be the best team in your state and at present, that is Georgia Tech.

Go Gators!

The Gators certainly respect your Georgia team more than the fans on this blog. GA has a ton of good players that can over come the coaching for this game and coach Meyer has nothing but good things to say about your front four on defense, he also thinks it’s a toss up for who the best wide receivers in the country is—-your #8 or Alabama’s #8 and your offensive line is big, strong and experienced.. That being said, the Gators will still need to help out with 4-5 turnovers and your defense/special teams must score some points. The Gator defense gets back four starters and is just too strong for the Dawg’s offense, unless they start inside the Gator 20. The Dawgs should be in the game unless the Gators score early from outside the red zone. If the Gators make the Dawgs one-dimensional and are forced to catch up passing, it could get ugly. To me, it’s a game that could go either way depending on turnovers.

Realistically, losing by no more than 30 points would be a moral victory of sorts by UGA. I play war games a lot, and sometimes one side is so over-matched that they’ll lose every time, so there are victory conditions where they can win if they keep the battle closer than it was in reality. That’s pretty much the situation in this year’s game with Florida.

It’s probably advantageous for UGA to get blown out, since that would result in more heat on the UGA athletic office to dump Richt or at the very least, force Martinez and Bobo out.

I respect your level-headed and conservative opinion of Richt. Have you considered approaching him about doing his taxes? With his huge salary, as well as the Ford and Carpets of Dalton gigs, it could be quite lucrative.

We seem to agree on the Martinez point, but I have a little less faith in Bobo than you. That’s cool.

You give Richt 2 losing seasons. What about 7-5 (possibly 6-6) this year, 7-5 next year (VERY possible), and 8-4 (or worse) the following? Not winning another SEC championship for at least three more years? It’s hypothetical, but just hear me out. How would you feel about that?

Do you think the fans (and the boosters) will take it?

In all, if Richt doesn’t make some significant changes, things won’t get any better, in my humble opinion.

Hold Richt Accountable

With his huge salary:
In round numbers, isn’t Richt’s pay just average for SEC coaches, not including say Miss State and Vandy? I think his salary would probably rank like 7th-15th nationally. That’s also on average about how succesful he is.

We seem to agree on the Martinez point, but I have a little less faith in Bobo than you. That’s cool.
I agree, Bobo could be a problem. I saw major improvement against vandy though which in theory could be due to moving to the sideline.

You give Richt 2 losing seasons. What about 7-5 (possibly 6-6) this year, 7-5 next year (VERY possible),

I’d say that right there may get it done. I am more forgiving than most.

Not winning another SEC championship for at least three more years?
We’ve got very talented Freshmen/redshirt freshmen. These two classes seem to have clumped together. They should play for a title eventually.

Do you think the fans (and the boosters) will take it?
Right or wrong, I think it all comes down to seeing some kind of change in the coaching staff this offseason. Otherwise some boosters will be quite angry.

In all, if Richt doesn’t make some significant changes, things won’t get any better, in my humble opinion.

Mark, Nothing but a win and Tebow crying after the game is acceptable. This ain’t Lane Kiffin “try not to lose to them too bad” football. If we get beat by 39 this year so be it that’s the reality of it. But if you don’t win you lose.

That said I hope the D line of ours plays lights out. Those guy have the size and experience to get the job done in the trenches and I hope they do. Figure Tebow to throw a bunch tomorrow and run at least 20+ times. If I were the RB’s I would take it to Spikes to start the game out. Those groin injuries are very hard to get completely over and I can’t imagine he is fully healed. One way to find out though take it to him right off the bat. No shame in losing this game nobody else has beaten the gators in 18 tries and they have played many teams better prepared than us.

I am proud to be a dawg fan win or lose tomorrow. I hope the kids play their hearts out.

When you start accepting moral victories you are on the road to ruin. The coaches should throw everything and the kitchen sink at Florida and try and win the game. If the players don’t have any more pride than to fight like hell to win this game they should not be UGA BULLDOGS. The attitude of this coaching staff about winning and losing stinks. They are way to accepting of losing and poor performance. UGA fans deserve the best offensive and defensive coordiantors money can buy. If CMR can’t figure that out then he needs to go to. I say no mercy on this coaching staff if they continue to embarass the school and the fans. It is time for someone to get fed up and serious about this being a championship program. Sorta like what Alabama finally did. Moral victories don’t sell season tickets and shut up the likes of Yellow Jizz.

The Dawgs need to play their best the whole game and the coaches need to coach their best the whole game. I have said since the Arkansas game that defensive coaching changes must take place. Either Martinez needs to go to a professional coaching bootcamp or someone else must step in. We cannot model our defensive strategy based upon what is hot in the college ranks and expect to compete. The bar is not high enough.

“Lucy in Mayretta

October 30th, 2009
1:49 pm
“JaxDawg” asks: “Would you sacrafice one game against the most hated rival if it would insure a much needed change and future improvement?”

The answer is a resounding YES! The Dawgs are never going to contend seriously for the SEC and BCS bowls while Richt is the HC. It’s that simple.” . . . . .

Lucy. . darling. . . have you been living under a rock? perhaps this phenomenon called Georgia Football has only just appeared in your life. How many SEC championships has Richt WON at Georgia? How many SEC championships had UGA won in the previous 20 years before Richt was the Head Coach at UGA? How many BCS Bowls had UGA been too in the 20 years before Richt was the HC at UGA? It was only 2 short years ago when there was a legitimate question as to whether UGA should have a place in the National Championship game. . .

We’re having a rough season. Kind to be expected when you lose as much as we did last year. I have no idea just how much of the total offense Stafford, Knowshon, and Mo Mass made up last year, but it had to be a good bit. And still injuries to the starting offensive line, and anyone who knows anything about football knows that if you lose those guys upfront, you’re not going to just “plug” someone else in there and be fine.

I can share the idea of being a little worried if there doesn’t appear to be much to build on for next year (i don’t see a dominant RB. . . . i don’t see a standout defensive player on that side of the ball excluding Curran). . .but to say UGA won’t compete with Richt. . where have you been?

UGA has no chance against the GATORS. Do you understand that the Gators have only had four TD’s scored on the defense. 4! The Gators also get 4 starting defensive players

Just wanted to show you what you puppies are up against, you may not like him,

Dungy also had interesting comments on Tim Tebow. Dungy loves winners. He thinks Charlie Ward would have been a great NFL quarterback because he won at every level. Dungy said that Tebow is like that. He just wins, and that will translate to the NFL.
Dungy said if he ran St. Louis, he’d draft Tebow high in the first round. “Franchise quarterbacks are hard to fine, and I believe in this guy,” Dungy said.
Dan asked Dungy if Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Jake Locker and Jimmy Clausen were available, would he take Tebow over all of them. Dungy said yes, he’d take Tebow.

Good luck!

As I understand the situation, giving a good effort without all those dumb penalties would be acceptable. However, that is not going to happen.

What is unacceptable is telling a 5′7″ 165 pound recruit that Willie will be back next year! In fact telling any recruit that Willie will be back next year is unacceptable. Willie coming back next year is unacceptable.

How many points does Florida have to score for CMR to decide that Willie coming back is unacceptable? How many points does Tech need to score without throwing a pass before CMR gets it? Bottom line: Both those teams scoring that many points (ever how many that may be) is acceptable.

I’ve been a Georgia fan since the 1960’s. I was a season ticket holder until I moved out-of-state. I am not attending any games or watching on TV until Willie is gone. It is just too painful.

This is a no win situation for the Bulldogs.

If Georgia wins, then Willie Martinez stays on. If Georgia loses, the Mark Richt either has to retain Willie Martinez, or he has to go back to all of the recruits he promised he was going to retain, and explain why he lied to them when he didn’t keep him as the defensive coordinator.

It’s a sad day that this conversation is even having to be taking place. Do the UGA fans deserve to be subjected to be questioned as to whether we would be satisfied whether with a close loss to Florida rather than a blowout? We’re talking about the Georgia Bulldogs, not some second rate program, like Arkansas State. This is ridiculous. Keeping it close? Are you kidding me? With our talent?

We’ve heard all of the excuses – we’re going to tighten up our special teams; defensive play; work on our offense, blah, blah, blah. We get blown out by Tennessee and now we’re hoping we don’t get blown out by Florida. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Gators will lose. Period. No chance they beat a well rested, pissed off, georgia team that is way more talented top to bottom. Pi$$ on the Gaytors.

It’s a good thing there will be lots of drinking going on tomorrow for the Gayturds sake. They will need it after we end their hopes of going to the Big Game. Gooooooooooooo Dawgs. Sic em’.

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I am the baddest Dawg in the Valley.

UF has too much for UGA. I have seen nothing to date that indicates UGA can stay with UF, even on a Gator off day. Good luck to the Dawgs and hope does spring eternal!

50-3 would be acceptable, I hate the soft zone!

In the past we’ve been underdogs and have pulled the upset. Our players this season are as good or better than those teams. Our coaches however, are not. We do not have the capability of pulling an upset. If UF gave up 8 turnovers on their own 5 yard line we would lose – and lose we shall.

This will be another game when The Dawg Coaches make an over – rated team like The Gators look like they are a Number 1 Team.

Mark My Words………………..the announcer(s) will say, “The Gators have shown why they are ranked Number 1!”.

The Dawgs have not shown up to several games this season. I expect them to be intimidated and overwhelmed. The Dawgs will lose by more than 3 TD’s.
