i expect nothing but great things from CMR and UGA as a whole next year. This season has opened our eyes figuratively and literally. At the end of the GT game when the team tried to gatorade bathe him let me know that there are big changes on the horizon and he is committed to getting back to the basics. Mark my words mark. Next year we will see the old hard nosed, bone jarring, intimidating dawg team that we were accustomed to pre CWM.

We both know alot of my fellow bulldawg fans aren’t to awful fond of you Mark. But I actually think your one of the better one’s that work for the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation (no, I’m not to fond of the paper itself). You just tell the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. I don’t see a GT slant in your writing like some like to point out, but even if you are a closet GT fan…who can blame you? You work for an Atlanta paper. Anyway, just asking…you really think the Dawgs have a shot at Smart? Alot of rumors are flying around like it’s a done deal. And have you heard anything about Dick Bumpas from TCU getting any attention for the job? Alot of rumors have flown around about him, but I haven’t officially heard his name mentioned at all. At any rate, Merry Christmas and keep up the good work.

Hello Mark, Merry Chritmas to you and yours. I talked to Santa I asked for a good DC for the Dawgs. A big bat and no stupid moves by the braves, you can’t get everything. The Hawks to resign Joe and Woody. The Falcons to have two winning seasons in a row. My God bless us all.

Add to that just escape Kentucky a year ago and lose to the Wildcats this year. Last year as you DAWGS like to say you had 2 first rould draft picks and you were lucky to survive the UK game. The Dawgs are over their heads in the SEC east and would be to bottom of the SEC west.

Hey “Dawgfan13″ The winningest QB (well actually 2nd winningest now) in NCAA history (David Greene) started at UGA as a RS freshman. Don’t county out Aaron Murray my friend. He don’t have Stafford’s arm, but the insiders will tell you he’s a better overall athlete. He’ll have a better supporting cast around him than Greene had and, no offense to Greene, Murray is a far better athlete than he was as a RS freshman. Write it down, 2010 will be a good year to be a UGA fan.

“A team that scores on every possession but can’t stop anybody feels vulnerable. A team that knows it can stop somebody feels invincible. Offensive success is a function of skill and technique.”

1. Please be careful as you begin your trek across Northern Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
2. If you hit Texas or Arkansas please stop and ask for directions.

4. Please, before leaving, turn your watch back one hour and your calendar back 30 years. This should be pleasant for you as it will put you near the early 80’s which you own!

6. Please change your oil before you go.

8. Please DO NOT cook your road kill at any of the rest stops along the way (at least the first ones you come to in each state).
9. I know Georgia travels “well” but please also try to travel discretely.
10. Please, if anything falls off of your truck, just leave it. Remember, there are TWO Wal-Mart’s in Shreveport
11. Please try some of the crawdad stew at the west bound rest area in Vicksburg MS.
12. Please clean up your tailgate trash before entering the Shreveport stadium
13. Please do not leave the stadium in the 3rd or 4th quarter if your team is taking another BEAT DOWN
14. Please do not drive into Kirby Smart’s Birmingham subdivision on your way home.
15. Please do stop by Legion Field in Birmingham and claim your Papa Johns bowl victory for next year.
16. Please refrain from calling or emailing President Adams and Damon Evans until you get home
17. Please make sure your Cable bill is paid up so you can watch real teams play in real (January) bowls.
18. Please make sure your Rivals bill is paid up so you can feel better about yourself and your program before signing day.

Well said…. Merry Christmas, CMR is guilty of being to dang loyal.. I’ve seen the Murrary kid and he is good… CMR just wanted so badly for cox to have a good year after sitting behind stafford. The defense was very bad at times but cox was bad at times as well. the int’s , the fumbles is what killed UGA.. i don’t care if you are the New England Patriots if you turned the ball over as much as we did your defense is going to suck because you’re on the field 85% of the time, getting rid of martinez was great but cox leaving will be better for UGA!!!

CMR has already canned three coaches (including his DC) and taken away play-calling responsibilies from his OC. Heard the Strength and Conditioning Coach is next. Merry Christmas! That sounds like a house-cleaning to me. Who hired all these incompetents, anyway?

Mark, if the importance of a top-notch DC is apparent even to numbnuts like you and me, how come CMR failed so miserably to act decisively after last year’s pitiful display by his? Certainly, Martinez was no worse a DC this year than he was last year. So what precipitates his firing now?

CMR knows his butt is next if he doesn’t regain control of his program, that’s what.

Seems to me, he’s taking the Captain Queeg approach and blaming all his problems on disloyal and incompetent subordinates.

Anybody notice if CMR has been nervously rolling ball bearings around in his right hand lately?

Shreveport,
That was pretty funny, I have to admit. Not as funny as, say, Tech’s all-world receiver dropping a fourth-down pass that hit him in both hands. And, maybe, not as funny as Reggie Ball forgetting what down it was. But it was pretty funny. 30-24, baby. Talk all you want. The score isn’t going to change.

Mark,
Very good article. I think you’ve pretty much nailed it. I just wish Georgia fans didn’t have such a sense of entitlement. Winning 10 games a year is not a disappointment. Winning 10 games a year for six out of seven years is amazing. If you don’t believe it, just remember back to Ray Goff or Jim Donnan. How often did they win 10 games? For that matter, How often did Dooley win 10 games? Richt has taken this program and made it matter again. To not give him credit for that is absurd.

Keep up the good work.

Great Article MB-

Don’t know who the next DC is (not naive enough to think it will be Smart) but hope whoever we hire can put a defense on the field that can stop Florida; a one or two game winning streak against these guys would be nice. As nice as it is to beat GT every year it is old news, not even a big game anymore. But Fla?, they have our number and have for 17 out of 20 years. Please, please, for the love of Monty Hall and all things sacred, beat Florida at least twice in the next decade. That’s my Christmas wish.

**TO ALL UGA FANS** just ignore the Tech nerds on here. No matter what they say, they know who the better team is. The records and stats prove it. They can’t deny that. Who cares if UGA is going to a bowl that is not as good as Tech? UGA has gone to a better bowl every year this decade. Just ignore them. They are very jealous over the football team, stadium, campus, women, etc. I would be a angry little nerd too if I went to Tech with their high school stadium, nightly robberies/muggings, and ugly girls.

Mark is right. It did take a season like this to change what needed to be changed at UGA. Who knows how long Richt wants to coach at UGA? Maybe that will be part of the deal to try and get smart to UGA. Richt clearly has goals outside of football, but he started my first year at UGA so he will always be my coach. No matter what change is headed to UGA and I can’t wait to see what happens with a new DC. Please dawg fans let’s show other fans how it is done. Be there through thick and thin. Dawgs for life baby.
P.S WE RUN THIS STATE

A certain poster asked why would a high profile DC go to UGA? The answer is simple- it’s one of the premiere coordinator positions in the USA.

Those who talk about the 2008 season actually verify the Dogs status as one of America’s bigtime programs- 10 wins with 19 season ending injuries and it is not good enough in Athens. In certain precincts, a 9 win 2008 season was cause for rejoicing, as was a 7 win 2009 season in another location.

Carlos, I understand your concern with the play calling at times, but i have to disagree. I am dumbfounded when Bobo calls a running play on 3rd and 10, abandons the run when it has been effective, or forgets that we have a couple of tightends who can catch and run. However, I was one among many who screamed for Richt to get an OC years back, just like we have screamed for Martinez’s dismissal. I am confident we are right about CWM but not so confident about CMB. At times, he calls some crafty plays and creates points, yards, and excitement. I don’t think he is the problem when it comes to our offensive difficulties.

By the way, the year was 1962, Wodden had always rotated lots of players up until the 1963 season. Wodden NEVER won a Natl Championship rotating lots of players. In 1963, he STOPPED rotating players, after analyzing the stats, and decided to go with his best player at each position. He won his 1st Natl Champ in 1963 after he STOPPED ROTATING PLAYERS, and went on to win 10 Natl Champ’s. Something for Bobo and Richt to REALLY think about.

To Dan: High School Stadium
You refer to GT’s stadium as a high school stadium, however, you must not have visited Bobby Dodd stadium in a while. I have not seen too many high school stadiums that seat 55K people and have state-of-the-art training facilities located in the locker room areas. Also, I have never seen a high school stadium that has a jumbotron like Tech’s and skyboxes like we have. Granted, BDS is not a cookie cutter stadium like Sanford, but it is quite a football stadium for playing, watching, and enjoying the college atmosphere.

Nice article, Mark…

Just an FYI and you may already know this – Koenning was never offered the job. Had he been, he would’ve jumped on it. I mean the guy’s making less at Illinois than Martinez made. He was a plan B guy and his agent spread that rumor to get him a little more money from the Illini, and it worked.

Richt is 40 wins and only 3 losses when he gets a 100 yard rusher. Georgia was 2-0 in 2009 when we got a 100 yard rusher, and 5-5 when we didn’t. Basically, that translated to a 12-1 or 13-0 year, every year.

Since you are a basketball guru (cough, cough), maybe you can explain this to me:

The Dawgs played their last SEC road game of the 2008-09 season against UK at Rupp on Senior Night. Improbably, the Dawgs won that game. Their first road game of the 2009-10 SEC season is…against Calipari’s UK at Rupp.

Outside of a scheduling coincidence, which is, of course, no fun to speculate about, why did this happen?

Playing with one healthy LB, zero healthy DE, a bunch of first year OL, is some pretty compelling talking points.

Can we finally admit that no voter in thier right mind would have had them #1 going into 2008 if they knew the number of players they would have to compete with? Or does that just mess up the critical talking points? I am blown away at the by the idea of ignoring that “more talented” would only matter if they were on the field.

Wail away on 2009, it wasn’t good, but even mentioning 2008 to support anything just doesnt hold water. It was not comparable to any season before or after.

Simple acid test. What does UGA do in 2008 with a healthy team, if it limped to 10 wins with perhaps the most beat up team in the country?

According to Philadelphia Eagles players, the most courageous man on the team in 2009 was one who started the year serving time in prison for an act of extreme cowardice.

Today, the Eagles announced that Michael Vick was the 2009 winner of the Ed Block Courage Award, an honor given to a player who shows courage in the face of adversity. Vick’s teammates voted for the award, thus demonstrating how tone-deaf and out-of-touch NFL players are with reality.

According to the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation Web site:

Each year, the Ed Block Courage Awards honors those National Football League players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Recipients are selected by their teammates for team effort, as well as individual performance.

The Ed Block Courage Award recipient symbolizes professionalism, great strength and dedication. He is also a community role model.

One recipient is selected from each NFL team, usually for things like coming back from injury, doing good work in the community or long, dedicated service to a franchise. I’d be surprised if the award’s founders intended for the honor to be given to someone doing community service as part of the terms of his parole or for showing courage in the face of reporters asking legitimate questions about federal crimes.

The Eagles’ vote is not only a slap in the face to the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation, but to the other 31 players who won the award for their respective teams. Some men are truly deserving of the honor, like Ravens safety Dawan Landry(notes) who was nearly paralyzed last year, but has come back in ‘09 with four interceptions and a touchdown or Mike Furrey(notes) of the Browns, who does extensive volunteer work in his community. Adding Vick’s name to the roll makes the award seem illegitimate and meaningless.

Apparently Philadelphia players confuse Vick handling dogfighting questions and booing with a measure of class as some sort of courage. That Vick only got a chance to show this mild courageousness because of the extreme cowardice it takes to murder helpless animals isn’t something that crosses their mind. They confuse Vick’s desperation with some sort of integrity.

I’m all for second chances and find myself rooting for Vick to redeem himself both on and off the football field. He’s served an appropriate sentence (and then some) and I see no reason for him to keep paying for his past transgressions. But I also see no reason to celebrate his character.

Michael Vick(notes) is very much a work in progress. A few years from now, I hope he will be deserving of such an honor. At this time, however, he has only just started down the path to redemption.

It’s amazing when you get a sincere response on these blogs such as the one from GT93 which was acknowledged for respect and insightful discussions and yet the 1.4 million guy goes to the gutter. It’s a sad observation…but an excellent article Mark.

Your one comment regarding looking at the tape from the less talented ‘02 team compared to the more talented ‘08 team was spot on as well as the fact that Spurrier and Mack Brown didn’t reach the top until they brought the right guy in for DC. You called it pre or mid season I think about this program becoming a middling SEC team. This is the first year under Richt I was afraid of losing most every game and it was baffling. Other than Curran, I missed the playmakers of the past like Pollack, Davis and Jones. I have confidence Richt will right the ship and while there are a lot of problems, Aaron Murray had moments in the spring game that were bright. When asked why he had such a successful record in away games (discount Jax), Richt said the most important component was a quarterback who could focus and keep his cool, i.e., David Greene.
Happy Holidays to you and yours and thanks as always

Say what Richt will, his team did not improve one whit this year in terms of penalties or number of arrests. The undisciplined, unprincipled and not very intelligent players he recruits are – quite simply – uncoachable. The W-L record may improve slightly next year, but UGA will not be competitive against the top teams in the SEC. Richt has had his highwater mark, and he’s now on the long slide to irrelevancy.

Tech can kiss my Red and Black ….Reality check for UGA and Tech fans – the days of winning streak dominance may be at an end. While nothing brings a smile to my face more than walking out onto Techwood and North Ave. after yet another UGA victory, the fact is as long as Paul Johnson remains at the Flats, this rivalry will be just that – every year, both schools will think they’ve got a legit shot. (Reminds me of the Bobby Ross years. I went to every UGA – UF game in Jax during the 80s – talk about a lack of a rivalry. That worm has turned – we need to bring our game back to the level of the Gators, just as Tech has done in regards to UGA.) Other than Clemson, VT and FSU, the other stadiums in the ACC (and their crowds) are a joke – I’ve see better atmospheres at I – AA games! Tech should be at or near ten wins every time the Hate Game rolls around. With our conference schedule (not to mention the out of conference BCS games we play), we will always have to achieve at an incredibly high level to match Tech’s record. As long as UGA, USC, and UF keep kicking the #%@#! out of their ACC rivals, the Tech record will exposed as a joke. (Pretty soon, the Mountain West will take the BCS berth from the ACC – THEN, we’ll find out how excited the Techsters are to win the conference, then head to Charlotte to play UConn or a team of that ilk.) Congrats to Tech for the Orange Bowl berth, but, let’s get real – since UGA beat USC earlier this year, that bowl should’ve been our’! Go Dawgs!

Georgia fans,

Yes, you beat Georgia Tech. We all know this. BUT, to hear some of you bash GT and its fans because of this is laughable.

If you honestly think that UGA had more successful season than GT then you are mistaken. Get your head examined. Quick. Now.

Georgia Tech is playing in a BCS Bowl.
Georgia is playing in Shreveport.

Georgia Tech finished 11-2, won the ACC, and is ranked #9.
Georgia finished 7-5, no where near the top of the SEC, and is not even close to being ranked.

Georgia Tech lost to Miami and Georgia.
Georgia lost to Tennessee, Kentucky, LSU, and Oklahoma State. (Yes, I know you’re going to say “THE SEC is soo GOODZ THOUGH!!!” but face that facts, Kentucky and Tennessee AREN’T good. Georgia Tech lost to one bad team (Georgia). It happens

Georgia Tech continued to IMPROVE from last year to this year under CPJ.
Georgia took a HUGE step back this year under Richt.

Fact it, GT is on way the up. Georgia is not. You can take your victory over us. But I would rather be playing in a BCS bowl than in…SHREVEPORT.

Last year, I wanted GT to beat UGA. After that, I had no motivation to even care about the bowl game versus LSU (and it’s safe to say neither did the players). This year, I didn’t necessarily care about the UGA/GT game. It meant nothing to GT. GT was going to be in the ACC Championship game with a shot to go to the BCS whether they beat UGA or not.

GT has had an extremely successful season. UGA has not. I will take our success and you can still cry over the fact that you beat us this year.

Merry Christmas.

Coach Johnson is a great coach and will continue to do a fine job for Tech.

As for Georgia, one off year does not equal a meltdown of the program.Georgia will be back.

Interesting…that you would say the Georgia/GT game meant nothing to you.
But if you are okay with losing this year, as well as 8 of the last 9 years…okay. This is one Georgia fan that can live with that kind of record against tech.

What is amusing is that this years TECH team reminds me of last years Georgia team. Strong offense, really poor defense.

Good luck in the Orange Bowl.

GTFann223,

Maybe the UGA game didn’t mean as much to YOU since it wasn’t a factor in whether GT goes to BCS but I bet it was important to most of GT.

Don’t think I’d agree that UGA took a hugh step backward at least relative to expectations coming into the season. I do think we’ll be better next year, at least on O and hoping that Reshad and Rennie return on D.

Anyway, good luck to GT in the bowl and next year until we meet at Sanford next year.

GT FAN you sir are a spin doctor of the highest ability. The absolute worst team we have had in 10 years beats you on the same day as another mediocre SEC team throttles the other ACC championship game participant. A mediocre LSU waxes Tech in the bowl game. What does that tell you buzzy? If you played in the SEC you’d have a losing record and you’d be unranked. Bragging about winning the ACC chumpionship is akin to bragging about being the tallest midget. (OK, so I stole that line but it bears repeating) Tech is nothing. Keep sending people into space with technology learned from tricycle races (what’s up with all that crap?) and leave football to the big boys.

And another thing why does everyone think Erk Russell was so good? He had one good year. Because we had one good player…….on offense. Otherwise his tenure is similar to the Goff-Donnan era that people have called unacceptable.

Twas’ the night before Christmas when all through Athens not a Dawg was stirring, not even a Cox. The 4th place trophy was hung by the chimney with care, in hopes and delusions a National Title would soon be there. The Dawgs were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of an Advocare Bowl danced through their heads. And Mark in his kerchief and Rennie in his doo rag had just settled for a Bowl nobody cares about. When out on the field there arose such a clatter, A.J sprang from his bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window he flew like a flash tore open the bed sheets and threw up his stash, the moon on the bench of a new fallen coach gave the lustre of Saturday afternoons to objects below, when what to his wondering eyes should appear, but a gigantic Gator and 8 Large defensive ends. With a dominating force so lively and quick, the Dawgs knew it must be St. Meyer.

I will agree that UGA needs a few more closers on D (ie in the mold of Rennie). However, sounds like you’re still upset from 30-24 in ATL if you believe major UGA donors work at McDonalds.

Richt better hire the right d coordinator and get it together in 2010, or he can hit the road. Florida should be way down and UT will not have any talent coming back, so UGA should win the SEC east pretty easily with any coaching at all. If not, Damon Evans needs to send Richt and his staff packing and bring in championship quality coaches. I’m tired of annual blowout losses in big SEC games.

thanks Yankeedawg, you’re a genius. Maybe GA should hire you as their next DC.

It’s simply about execution. If Iowa’s D executes (meaning GT’s O didn’t) they will hold GT in check. And does that automatically mean GT’s D doesn’t execute vs. Iowa’s O? But if GT’s O executes, what chance to you give Iowa then?

Funny how most GA fans think Iowa is the only team capable of EXECUTING on Jan. 5.

That’s why you play the games ….
In 2008 GT won in Athens when 99% of belief was that they wouldn’t. The exact opposite happened in 2009 in Atlanta; and GA fans, don’t try and say now that you were sure of victory before 11/28, simply ain’t true. And to assume GT won’t win vs GA for a LONG time from here forward is about a ignorant as saying Josh Nesbitt will be the #1 overall pick when leaves GT.

GT has had a bad D this year too GA fans, but so far were able to win 11. Hopefully they’ll win their 12th over Iowa. Yes, I see nowhere to go but up for both GA & GT’s D in 2010.

This GT fan sees the silver lining in the loss to GA …. it took GA’s best rushing effort in the Richt era to win the game. I’ve seen GT’s D play consecutive bad games vs. GA under PJ (2008 Stafford, 407 yds 5tds, MoMass 180+yds 3tds – both players’ career high), yet the Jackets are 1-1 in those games. I don’t see GT pulling a “Gailey” (i.e. lose on the scoreboard despite playing great D) with PJ at the helm. That’s something dogs fans don’t want to admit, but know it’s a fact.

GT’s D was worse in 2009 than 2008, but has to this point won 11 vs 9. GT doesn’t have to have great D effort to win, but when it gets one (UNC, VT, VA, Duke) there’s virtually no chance for the opponent.

How can you have great defensive efforts against six (6) teams, none of the 6 of which are even in a damn bowl game ?

And, say that, in the UGA blog, whom tek could not stop 1 time all day long when all we did was hand the football off, right up their gut ?

I have said from day one that Coach Martinez and Coach Fabris were good football coaches and recruiters. I heard that Coach Fabris may be going to Louisville. The whole problem at Georgia started when we let the whole team go out on the field against Florida. It may have helped win that ball game or not. I really believe what won that game was the rushing attack by Moreno. I know what it led to. All the dancing and penalties. If we don’t get the discipline back and kids that play with alot of pride it doesn’t matter who the assistant coaches are.

Ealey for the season is the best at not giving up fumbles–sure the 1 on the goal-line pitch toss in the Kent game–might have been Cox’s fault–we’ll never know—but regardless, that’s it for Ealey.

Just for the record. . . that fumble was all Ealey. That one cannot be blamed on Cox.

Not gonna happen. The dawgs got lucky when they intentionally injured nesbitt.

So was it luck, or was it intentional? Perhaps since it worked so well for UGA, maybe other teams will do it as well. I, personally, think Nesbitt is a beast, but you tech people seem to have far less faith in him, since he was injured so easily. Heck, UGA even made it seem like nothing happened.

I wish Nesbitt played for us. I don’t think I would question his toughness, but you tech people sure don’t give him much credit. Which is a shame, because next year, it will ALL BE ON HIS SHOULDERS.

Usually the fans that criticize the players on a public forum are bandwagon jumpers. You see it at all levels and in all sports. They will not stick with their school during the bad times other than bashing them. Plus they know very little about what it is like to compete as many of them wouldn’t know how to put a jock strap on, unless mommy put it on. Give me the knowlegeable fan that may get frustrated but makes sound judgments or acts like he has won and been there before. Go Dawgs!

Had my family over for Christmas, 26 of us all together, and since many of them, well actually most of them are Ga fans, you can imagine how my day went. They did admire my Ga sweatshirt that I will have to wear at all family events this year as I did the many jacket shirts that they wore last year.

However the discussions about the state of the Ga program next year seems to mirror your concerns. The majority of them think that next year can be a good year, but it will be one more year before they think both sides of the ball will be able to contend for an SEC title.

The ACC is a group of itty bitty teeny weenie small colleges spread out way too far from Boston to Miami, who NONE OF THEM are any good. It takes over 24 hours to get from Boston to Miami. It’s over 1,500 miles. I said this here when the conference was created. That it is spread out too far, that the colleges are small insignificant football schools who will do NOTHING in football, with NO ONE WATCHING.

In the previous 5 years, the Average HIGHEST RANKED ACC Team is Number 12 in the Final AP Poll.

There is NOT an ACC team considered ANY GOOD AT ALL.

No one attends any of the games, and on TV, they are the worst rated games in all of America.

The ACC LOSES its bowl games.

The ACC LOSES to 1-AA teams.

The ACC LOSES head-to-head against EVERY CONFERENCE.

The ACC averages the WORST Average BCS Ranking of all Conferences.

The ACC recruits the worst of all conferences.

I think Tenn/Va tech will be a close one.
I think Clemson beats Kentucky.

Of course, i hope the SEC wins every one of them.

I think the ACC could have a better bowl season than usual. I don’t see USC losing to Boston College, but then again, USC doesn’t want to be there at all. And if Tech loses to Iowa, I will be shocked. But it does happen, it will prove one thing. There might not be another team in the entire nation that would benefit more from a college football playoff.

“I believe Ga. Tech has over 7K tickets still remaining for the Orange Bowl out of their 17,500 allotment. How could this be?”

I wish I knew. In my own case, its lack of $$ with this great economy. That’s not an excuse, just a fact. I might also ponder that Tuesday Jan. 6th is a tough day for many to get away from work (especially being after the holidays and most companies wanting to get back to business as usual). And there’s also the unfortunate reality that GT’s fan base is just not that big in comparison to the typical state school (Iowa for example).

I really miss the days when you could sit on your A$$ on New Year’s day and watch the “Big 4″ bowl games all in one day
_____________________________________________________

For what it’s worth, a lot of schools have trouble selling out their tickets. But that doesn’t mean fans from the schools aren’t buying them. It is cheaper to buy tickets through other sources than directly from a school’s athletic department most of the time. It would see those tickets would be the LAST to be sold since there is no way of discounting them at all.
