A chilling thought: What if Richt DOESN’T beat these Gators?

And, about the post, if we dont win it wont surprise me a bit—the last 20 years have shown Georgia should never EXPECT to win in Jax

I think we will win too. I also thought we would beat USC, Arkansas, Miss. St. and Colorado … so what do I know. We have to continue to stop the run and we have to run the ball. Great insight I know. Just too excited about being an early poster not to write something.

Mark, there are some of us who believe wins and losses for Mark Richt have become inconsequential when it comes to the fundamental breakdown in discipline of his football program since BVG left.

The constant embarrassment of the arrests and other off-the-field incidents.

Richt’s mamby-pamby public reactions and soft discipline in regards to those arrests.

His kicking off the team of a scrub freshman player after declaring ZERO TOLERANCE, yet deciding that starter Caleb King could stay.

For some of us, it’s gotten to the point where we no longer trust Richt to lead this program in the right way. We don’t believe the team fears him, and why should they? If you’re important to the team, a starter who is needed to help the team win, then you get suspended. If you’re not all of those things, you get kicked off the team. Does THAT sound like zero tolerance to you?

We’re sick of the embarrassment. We’re sick of the stories. We’re sick of being laughed at.

This goes WAY beyond wins and losses. There’s something rotten in the UGA football program. And it’s time for a change to clean it up.

The outcome will be interesting on both sides:
If UF wins, UGA is back in the doghouse and may need to join the Big East.
If UGA wins, UF will be relegated to the level of the ACC

Dawgs need to avoid the turnovers, dropped balls and idiotic personal fouls that have plagued them in the WLOCP in the past.

For us to win we have to score first. Two fragile psyche’s here. For us, it’s cause it’s the crocs. For them, it’s cause they’ve lost three in a row.

I firmly believe who ever socres first will damage the other team, mentally and go onto the W.

Bradley, you had to think before the season began that there was an opportunity to knock Fl off this yr. They lost Tebow and all the others for crying out loud.

Forget what’s transpired this yr. to date, in the summer I said MR had to beat Fl this yr.

Sorry, the pressure is on for sure down 2-7 already and the ZOOKER one up you.

I think they could win and lay some wood for a change.

But you never know with Bobo and Richt, they get tight as a drum in this game and if they pull thier South Carolina game plan out, I think I’m going to cry in the middle of the first Qtr.

I think the Gators WILL win. I don’t think it will be a blowout, but I think it will happen. UGA hasn’t proven to me that they can beat a team that can hit them back. Florida’s offense sucks, but their defense is talented enough to carry this team, especially after a bye week. Plus I can see Richt and Bobo giving the Gators too much respect and getting conservative with the play calling. I’m sorry, but in big rivalry games, I’m going with Urban Meyer over Mark Richt.

Meyer has more get out of jail cards left. Richt’s deck is dwindling. Richt needs this one bad. Meyer can lose and fire Adazio. Richt loses, he has to cut Bobo loose at year end and he mentored him personally.

Richt knows he must win. I bet he coaches with his hair on fire Saturday and lets Murray go nuts. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him try and score a lot and run it up if possible.

It would be unfortunate. It would be hyped as having larger implications than it should. UGA is favored, but not by enough that some random event (stupid/phantom penalty, fumble at exactly the wrong time, etc) won’t dictate the outcome and UGA lose, even if they play well. UGA needs to play well (contrary to popular opinion even good teams can play well and lose) in the remaining games and beat TECH. If that happens there will be no changes and the jury is out until next year. If UGA falls apart against either FL or Auburn and loses to TECH, well, SOMETHING will change, for sure.

No so fast Bradley,

While agree this is Georgia’s best chance to beat the Gators in some time, let’s look a some cold hard facts.

Tennessee and Vanderbilt are terrible teams and Kentucky gift-wrapped its loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs started first-half possessions at the Wildcats’ 23, 33, 39 and 5 due to turnovers and also scored on a 100-yard kickoff return. A second-half scoring drive started at the Kentucky 46 after a botched onside kick. If you look at the game stats only, you would think Kentucky won. Had it not been for four turnovers and the onsides kick.

Florida’s loses have been to better teams than Georgia has played. Also during that 3 game span, the Gators played with out their field goal kicker. The field goals were tried by our punter, who FYI is the #1 punter in the nation at this point.

Now against Bama, the kicker made no difference, but agaist MSU and LSU field goals could have won the game that were missed by the punter.

So before you go toasting your victory in Jax, let see the game. I don’t know who will win but who ever loses is the really bad team and their season is basicly over. If Florida were to lose, I could see them finishing 5-7. That would be ugly.

By what definition should Caleb King NOT be playing. That is simply idiotic. Comparing King’s situation to the young quarterbacks is morally inept. King was stupid he didnt pay a ticket. He got suspended for TWO conference games. No program in the nation would come down any harder on him for that infraction. That was more than ample punishment. Mettenberger assaulted a young woman and was kicked off the team. What more could any coach do?

Yes. Past policy has been too soft. But the penalties this year have been appropriate. The culture still has to change but I think players are now getting the message.

Dawglasville, you cannot be that ignorant. Look at the editorial page of this paper for one or two days and tell me this is not an overwhelmingly liberal paper.

UGA will lose to Florida, as usual. The Kentucky game would have been lost, had not the Wildcats given away a couple of touchdowns. Florida is unlikely to do that. UGA will come away, 4-5, and face another loss against Auburn. The Dawgs have been a disappointment for the last four or five years.

I agree, UGA APPEARS to have a chance in this one– but it will still be a close, hard fought game that no one should be surprised by if UGA loses.

Regardless, UGA’s coaching and talent level/recruiting are still questionable and I’d like to see a house-cleaning at season’s end.

Mark Richt and the team have learned to play to win rather than not to lose. Therefore, we are winning. Now, we are aggressive in the first quarter and this new mentality minimizes the possibility of losing. Aaron Murray appears to have more mental toughness than any GA qb since David Green and our defense and special teams will make it tough on Florida. The way Kentucky fought back and challenged us was good preparation for overcoming Florida.

If, on the other hand, we go out there and take the whole first half to get going, make stupid penalties at critical moments, get caught flat-footed on defense (especially when their QB hits the “safety valve” receiver and picks up key first downs because we’re blitzing on third and long), and call plays like we’re scared of what the other team MIGHT do…then we hang our damn heads, tuck our tails between our legs, and cringe out of the stadium wondering how our program got so bad.

(NOTE to Coach Richt: Just because I said something about “tipping our hats”, doesn’t mean we should wear anything silly, sir. We’ve had ENOUGH of that nonsense!)

Can’t understand if Florida gets turnovers its because they caused them but if Georgia gets them (kentucky) its because they were given the ball. Georgia couldn’t help where they started from but even when it was from Kentucky’s 20 we still scored. Maybe our defense caused the turnovers. That’s fair right? Or should we just take the ball and start from their 20 anyway. Last i saw Kentucky’s quarterback is ranked 28th in the country. Not too shabby since Florida’s is 86th.

Georgia DMV has also bought a few PSA radio and TV spots to highlight their new campaign for people with the I.Q. of UGAg football players: “Did you know that a valid driver’s license is required to drive?”.

Prediction: Phil Fulmer announces changes to the 2011 Fulmer Cup rules to include “in season” arrests this Fall, and that they CAN be applied to NEXT year’s Fulmer Cup.

When THIS happens, Urban Meyer will concede the 2011 Fulmer Cup to Coach Ricked, and head off into the sunset of retirement.

I thought in the offseason that this would be the year the Dawgs had a good chance to win. I didn’t think though like the rest of us that Florida would go into this game with 3 straight losses.

Still this is a tough game to pick. Both are pretty even. Georgia hasn’t faced a defense with Florida’s speed and athleticism yet so that will be an interesting matchup.

If Georgia loses this game they will be 5-5 with Auburn and Tech left. Thus I think Richt has more pressure to win than Meyer.

And for people who need things spelled out for them, Urban Meyer has had one FIVE loss season already in his first few years. Now he’s having another down year. He’s been at Florida half as long as Richt’s been at UGA. Richt has had teams finish in the top 5 several years. So did Meyer. Richt won the SEC 2 times. So did Meyer.

We always judge the current guy against the other top coaches while they’re at their peak. Give Meyer a few years and see how he does. He almost retired. He’s already had bad years. Sure, they got a big trophy because they fell into the championship games… but UGA had no luck the two years they came close.

We really don’t know that Saban won’t collapse after a few years of good teams. It happens to every coach.

As far as off the field stuff… That doesn’t mean no discipline. It means the kids broke rules. Many who broke those rules are no longer on the team. Why? Discipline. No discipline means they get to play with no punishment. The fact that half the teams seems to be suspended kinda rules out the “no discipline” theory.

Bradley,

The foolish assumption for Richt and this staff to make would be to think their hind quarters are off the hot seat.

There are trends that point to overwhelming decline of this program. He absolutely must win this game to prevent off-season foot stomping.

That doesn’t mean we will win. Nothing in his history proves is confidence in beating the Gators. But McGarity is NOT lost on where this program stands, and I disagree with McGarity on this point: beating Florida, particularly in a year like this, can be the most important win (or loss) of the year.

Take this down – a loss to UF on Saturday, which is very possible (I see this game as a pick’em) will stain any momentum we gain the rest of this season.

It will NOT be lost on those of us convinced that Richt is very much responsible for our decline and his (in some instances VERY) late reactions at attempts to correct problems with the program.

And forget about Kirby Smart. He had a chance to come “BACK HOME” and become the favorite to replace Richt one day and he chose to stay up Saban’s butt. And by the way, I’m pretty sure his D has gotten ripped by UF and Utah (Utah!), as well as SC this season.

Man are these blogs depressing!! Do any of these bloggers know anything about football, or how to do anything but be negative. Reality Check – UGA is better than Florida, and is capable of handing them a huge loss. Why are all the fans victim to the “mystique?” I recall in the 80’s a 9 year winning streak. UF is just a football team now, and not even close to being as good as South Carolina. UGA will have to really screw up to lose this game!

No chance florida wins this game. Georgia’s rolling—florida’s offense is 10th in the SEC. Plus, the Ga O will put up 30 points easy on florida’s average D. Bet the house on this game—Ga covers the 3 easy!!! Dawgs–back on top!!!! Dawgs 31 Fla 10

I admit I am tired of losing to UF.
I admit I am disappointed in the way we lost those early games.
But I am MORE tired of fair-weather fans like UGABugKiller (or disguised GT fans) who first bash CMR for losing and then change it to not knowing what all 75 players are doing 365/24/7. Give me a break!

I also admit that I am PROUD of how the Dawgs have responded to those early losses.
I admit I am PROUD of CMR’s response to the very human failings of young men who are making their own decisions for the first time and will ultimately make some wrong decisions.

Would UGABugKiller have us emulate Pope Urban and talk tough only to glorify criminal elements on the team when the going gets too tough in the win-loss column?

I say, GO DAWGS! GO CMR! BEAT THE GATORS!

Another loss to the Gators won’t be anything “new” to the Bulldog nation. A loss is probably worth the following:

- more “heat” on Richt;
- a beat up team going on the road to Auburn; and

We talk about the Boise State schedule and how we can’t vote for them as national champions because of it and then we give glory to old Georgia for the same evidences we deny Boise State. Georgia has improved because the competition has declined. The only team they have played at this level and lost to may be Colorado and that is questionable. Point is they in one game against a team that in two weeks prior had to play South Carolina and Auburn the best the SEC has to offer, had a let down against Georgia and now Georgia is improved. It doesn’t work that way and if it does Florida beat Kentucky much worse than Georgia. A sense of reality going into Jacksonville would help this team, not this candy for the masses.

I understood what you were getting at, but McGarity can only speak about his OWN program. Maybe he disagreed with those moves when they occurred at UF, but he was not in charge and therefore could not speak.

Now he has the opportunity to speak about what UGA did, and he is letting people know that this is not something he will approve of.

I think it speaks volumes of his character to make such a stand, especially knowing that it may not make him popular with his fanbase. Doing what’s right is rarely popular.

Georgia scares me to death right now. They just HAVE to be being playing their best right before the game Saturday.I think we have a lot better defense than them, but their balance of offense is excellent. We HAVE to stop the run Saturday and if we do that, I don’t think Murray can beat us by himself. Though the way our offense has played I wouldn’t be surprised to lose 14-10. but heck, if goergia commits a bunch of dirty penalties, like last year, they won’t be able to move the ball on us.Sometimes, I think georgia would lose less big games if they didn’t commit all the penalties and fumbles but they seem to be a lot more discilplined later this year, so we’ll see.

Richt is paid 2+ mil yearly to at least be competitive with Florida. 2-7 soon to be 2-8 ain’t competitive. McGarity needs to grow a pair and deal appropriately after Richt’s Saturday joke of an effort, where he goes in knowing he isn’t going to win, and wait and see, for the umpteenth time he won’t have them prepared, there will be a ton of missed tackles, Ealey and King probably both cough it up once, and Vance Cuff will blunder again in the secondary. Knowledgeable fans know the probable outcome and when it happens in reality, its too bad Richt keeps the 2+ mil and gets to finish out the year. Ric ht’s a loser against Florida, and stinks against the SEC’s best coaches. Please, next search committee, note to self, do not consider unproven assistant coaches who incredibly might believe powder puff football will cut it against LSU, Bama and Florida, and soon Tennessee when Dooley gets that program rolling.

This is too funny! UGA fans (in their own Minds) have the Dawgs as a top tier SEC team when in actuality UGA has won 3 SEC championships in 20 years and 1 national title in 30. Those are Ole Miss numbers.

UGA with all the talent in the High Schools are so overrated year in and year out. Who to blame for that? Coaches, Facilities, AD’s, support personnel? It does not matter. The past three years UGA has been an embarrassement to the SEC with all the arrest, failing to meet expectations, penalties, and turnovers.

The problem starts with the President of the University, Michael Adams, when he arrived on campus he wanted to be bigger than Vince Dooley and anyone else. It job is to lead the University not to be the media outlet. As Paul Bryant said one time” I have never seen 80,000 people show up for a science experiment on a Saturday afternoon”. Dr. Adams should give CMR the facilties he needs to build a “franchise”. Our current facilities are horrible and if you do not believe me go around every other major program in the South and take a look. Build a indoor “full” practice facility. Coach Mcgill got what he wanted with booster support for tennis and built a state of art facility and it is recognized nationally. But Dr. Adams is too much about Dr. Adams.

Athletic Director, Dooley to Drunk to McGarity…Dooley got forced out and many boosters were upset, The Drunk was all about removing any Dooley marks around the Campus. In the process he made several horrible hires. McGarity, he learned a good one at Florida, we all hope it rubs off on some of the nobodies around campus.

Coaching, CMR had a great staff when he took over for Donnan, Donnan left a boat load of great DL, OL and inside people for CMR. CMR brough in some great speed, athletic skill people to make the offense and defense better than most and won some titles with that talent. Since then he has lost coaches, recruits have not panned out, penalites have added up, and arrest are at an all time high.
The UGA team has a group have become below average, we lose Green, Durham, Huston, and a couple of other players to the NFL or graduation and there goes our offense and our stand out defensive player. What will we do then? We have a couple of players suspended for games while in high school this year or sitting out as a “players strike”. Who in their right mind wants a kid like that in a decision making postion on their team? No one, but I guess as bad as we are we are desperate.

We have won 3 games in a row against the 3 worst teams in the conference and we are all excited and thinking because UF is down we will win, are you kidding me? Florida is still loaded with 4 and 5 star talent , have better speed than us and had a week off to prepare, get well and rest.

We will get hammered if we can not throw the ball and will have yet to stop the power sweep( Florida’s) bread and butter.

We will find out how good we are in the second half opening drive, if we are ahead, do we score?, if we are behind can we stop them?

But as of today we are a SEC Step Child in the SEC.

I agree with about 90% of what you said. Especially about the Dooley and Adams deal. Those of us who were on campus during this period and were around the Athletic Department saw first hand how poorly Dr. Adams treated the staff on duty during this time. Adams was learning the campus and spent way to much time in the Athletic Facility. It was a joke down stairs that we though he had moved the Presidents office to the Press Box because he was always milling around.

As for the comment by another poster about the Coach’s salary: You are wrong. Every cent a coach is paid is budgeted and is part of the athletic budget. The budget is approved and any outside income generated by the Coach must be approved by the Athletic Board.

One question for the guys with Fool in his name?

Who is paid more? The President of the University or the Head Football or Basketball Coach?

That salary alone reflects the importance of both positions. If you polled the State Boards they would tell you that in most cases the President of an University is a job that actually could be eliminated and no one would notice if the school is under a board of governors.

I agree with others here that Gators are not as bad a team as their 3 losses indicate. Not were the Dawgs ever really as bad as their 4 losses indicated or suddenly great due to 3 wins over losing teams. UGA will win this game not because of those records, not because of the 3-17, and not because of Meyer’s open week success rate, but because UGA will win the turnover battle (it’s absurd to think the UK turnovers somehow de-legitimize the UGA win) and because Murray and his receivers have a better match-up v the UF D than Brantley and co do v the UGA D (running and kicking games roughly even). But if Dawgs do lose, it means SEC title dreams this year are over, and one more straw is added to the back of the Richt camel, which is already showing some strain.

The beauty of Richt’s recent winning streak is that he keeps his job at least for another season which is good for the rest of the SEC. He’ll eventually revert back to being mediocre and the premiere SEC teams will continue to cherry pick the best talent in Atlanta and coach them up will he gets his share of talent and coaches them down. There’s never been a fire in Richt that inspires his team to do great things on the field consistently and achieve great results like winning a National Championship. Sure, he says the right things when his job is on the line but this Coach stopped being in the conversation for National Championship years ago. Georgia should be dominate with all the talent that resides in Atlanta just to the West of Athens. The top talent want to play in the BEST conference (SEC) and be in the conversation about winning the National Championship. The best kids do not want to play in the ACC or even less for Georgia Wreck (Tech). They want to play close to home and more importantly for a winner that’s a serious contender for the National Championship every year and not always talking about what could have been and maybe next year.

These bleachers do have eyes. AD Greg McGarity will be comparing the two programs and frankly, has been because Florida is THE STANDARD for SEC schools that seek the very upper echelon of play. I am a UGA grad through and through, by the way. Florida is THE standard. Yes, my Dad and his side family are Gators ………….I am the lucky one …………a UGA Dog.

Here is the book on Mark Richt: We all know about the several summer ( s ) of fun and we are disgusted by that. We also know that we have not played at the level that we are paying him for since about 06 or 007. Last year was our obligatory transitional year. We thought.

The four losess fueled by Ealey’ and Caleb’s and Tavaress’ and AJ’s activities created this stench. That disgusting, confused Waushaun Ealey looking so dumb after his fumble in the end zone vs MSU will forever taint our recollections of 2010.

So. MCR must win them all, take UGA to a modest bowl and WIN and then, we hold on for year 2011. THAT YEAR is his make or break year. Lose to Auburn and Florida in 2010 ……………. then he should be fired with his already dismal, dismal 2010 SEC record.

That is how about 75% of the UGA alums feel.

If UGA wants to win this game they need to have a good starting drive and shut out Florida on their opening drive. They need to get over the psychological hump that the Gaytors have over them.

Then Richt slips to 2-8 against UF (including the Zook years) and the Georgia brass needs to seriously consider if Richt is the man to lead UGA football into the future. The right coach makes all the difference. Spurrier broke Georgia’s stranglehold on this game; Jim Tressell came along at a time when OSU looked hopelessly jinxed against Michigan and completely turned that series around. At one time in the late 80s early 90s Notre Dame had a 9-game win streak over USC, and then Lou Holtz left and USC returned to prominence and Notre Dame can’t keep up with USC.

Historically Florida is not a better program than Georgia, so there’s no reason why this trend should continue. If Richt isn’t the right man to turn it around, then let’s find the right man, whoever he turns out to be.

With 2 weeks to, rest, regroup, and prepare, no way Myer looses 4 in a row. He is just to good of a coach to let that happen.

Lets not forget that UGA is still the same unmotivated, undisciplined, unprepared, and poorly coached team it has always been under Coach Valium i.e. Mark Richt.

Gators roll the Dawgs in Jax. and expose the Dawgs as the pumpkins they truly are!

Mark -

Until Georgia gets a streak going against UF, you can throw out what the bookies think. You can also throw out records and all the other stats. The Gators are so embedded into Georgia’s cranium that this game is never an expected win for UGA. It’s very similar to how UGA owns Tech. Tech can be 10-0 and Georgia be 0-10 and Georgia fans and players expect to win!

Not to worry. It’s a new dawn in Georgia football Mark. On the thirtieth anniversary of Belue to Scott, Georgia will again find its MoJo and take the first steps out of the repetitive nightmare that has been Jacksonville. We will lay a new path to solidify our rightful place as the team that, no matter what the circumstance, finds a way to beat the Gators… or the Gators choke and find a way to beat themselves.

For way too long the Dawgs have been smacked around by the Gainesville reptiles, much to the delight of their jorted, gator-mouth-arm-flailing fans. Tomorrow will be a day of reckoning. The Dogs will rumble, and a new movie will premier at the WLOCP called “There Will Be Gator Tears” (Showing 3:30 October 30 at a CBS station near you).

I hope you are not as stupid as you sound but you probably are, if not more so. An 8 game series lead is not anywhere close to being “owned”.

If Georgia loses Atlanta, it becomes Missisippi. If you understand this, you went to Tech. If you are hopelessly confused by this, you went to UGA. Which, by the way, will lose on Saturday. You heard it from the source. Mr. Hootin’.

what happens is………..Richt’s worst team loses to Meyer’s worst team and UGA continues to fight through their worst year under Richt. As long as they play well it and continue to show they are improving in the D scheme and on offense, then we continue to build on the turn around. It will be painful to lose like it is anytime we lose to UF. As for the play, like Barnhart said, it looks like we have better players at certain positions, but look at the recruiting rankings per player and you can see that UF is loaded with more talent across the board than we are and their 5 star QB is a redshirt JR. Old enough to drink now. An even bigger question might be……..what if UF loses to UGA in Richt’s worst year? What then if they lose to rival FSU? That would be five losses and doesn’t even take into account the what if……..they lose to South Carolina and former, white and blue, visor thrower Steve Spurrier. What if UF loses these games and ends the season 6-6? There will be some Urban fan bridge jumpers. The pressure is not all on Mark Richt here.

Richt and the Dawgs turned the corner a few weeks ago when Richt abandoned the NFL style no contact practices. Practice em hard and they’ll play hard. And even before that, 3 of our 4 losses were to what we now know to be quality SEC opponents. Georgia was never as bad as Bradley, or the Tech insects or the sky is falling Dawgs fans believed.

Georgia wins, fairly comfortably. Something like 24-10.

Sonnie, Tech dosen’t play this weekend so there is nothing to write about. If you want to watch a real game tune in Thursday night.
Dawggie, your worst fears are already real. Tech has beaten Miss State in the past two years. Since they clobbered UGA this year, that proves the SEC is full of mediocre to poor teams.
Any real football fan would rather watch grass grow than tune in on this one-star game.

Suggesting to Webster’s ( In the event they ever needed to stoop that low) to publish UGA with a picture next to UGA with photos of Drunks/Prison Numbers..It just amazes me how anyone can act so stupid when a TV camera is filming like 99% of Buttwipe fans. Wondering if TV camera personnel just turn on the cameras and laugh under their breath @ how stupid are acting. Sonny ( Fill my pockets before I leave office) is a grad of UGA. But that’s only another reason Ga misses out on so much Fed. money. FYI I also dislike Purdue & Barnes equally.

Who’s pessimistic? I’m a realist and I am positive. I am positive we are 4-4 with 3 of those losses coming to lesser teams. I am positive the only thing wrong with UGA has been coaching deficiencies to the extreme. I am positive Coach Richt needs a gut check. If you wish to wrap yourself up in optimism, have at it. I’m not one to sit idly by and watch a proud tradition mire in the muck of mediocrity.

We need to score first in the third quarter to get and stay close. If the gayturds score first I don’t think we will recover enough to win the game. Murray needs to get his A game back and we have to find a way to get AJ involved. If not this could be a really ugly loss against a bad floriduh team.

CMR is too good a man to by fired. (Just like Joe Pa, Bobby Bowden, and the great Al Groh) Ya’ll just need to lower those expectations,and accept defeat, but remember that your coach is great guy. Apologies to all those future NFL’ers who have to put up with the losing. Dont worry, you will still get paid. M. Stafford did. Any chance they chisel Richt, Donnen and Goff into Stone Mountain. It would be like Mt Rushmore in reverse. Any one thought about how this UGA loss will effect Tuesday’s election. I hope TeamObama wasnt counting on a Dawg win. Not good. Finally, pls stop sending those plane tix to CMR to fly to Chile to inspect the damaged coal mine. He’s not falling for it. Get it, falling!!!! Until the next visit to Jax, see you in traffic.

It is NOT a home game for the Gators. They travel an hour and half by bus, stay in a hotel, and are not playing in the swamp. Yes, Georgia travels further, but flies (all paid for) and technically spends less time traveling as it is a 45 minute flight. The stadium is always sold out, half Florida and half Georgia. I live in Jacksonville and I remember as a kid, when Georgia won every single year, not once did they mention moving the game. Stop finding lame excuses for your losing streak against Florida. It’s not the venue thats the problem.

Plus Georgia (and Florida) make millions off this one game. It’s a win win for both schools.
