I was rasied as a UGA fan and have remained one since I can rememeber. Duly noted on the diplomatic side of things, and I understand where you are coming from. Not to fear though, my integerity is intact, along with my standards I just try to be rational when it comes to posting on here, I`d rather let everyone else win the blog contest as long as the dawgs are winning the actual games, and as i said before, I prefer to do my trash talking after a game.

I do agree that Cox could very well have a solid year, but I don't know that I would go as far as to compare him to Shockley. I just don't see him winning big games for you guys against quality opponants. He will be okay against most teams on your schedule because you should be able to take the pressure off of him with your run game, which should be formidable this year with a healthy OL back this season. However with that being said, I see him running for his life against Florida's defense. By the way, I thought Shockley was a very good college QB with a much higher skill level than what I have seen thus far from Cox, but we shall see what develops during the season when toe finally meets leather in Gainesville and Athens come September. I also admire your loyalty, which is what makes college football, especially in the South (SEC) with it's fan passion, the greatest spectator sport in this country in my humble opinion. I have enjoyed the back & forth with you and wish you and your Dawgs the best except against of of course, ha, ha. Go SEC! Take care. Takedowndawg: You made some good points.

Understand now that your from Florida and stand by you guns concerning UF loyality. I admire loyality, and you are loyal. Still, agree to disagree with you on the quarterbacks at Georgia now and in the future. I think that we are loaded for the future. I think that Cox's predigree at Independence High(NC) will come through big this season as did Shockley's a couple of years ago. He doesn't like to lose. He has the respect of his teammates, knows the system and I believe that he will do UGA a great job THIS year. Be careful, about writing him off too soon, DC. Going into this year, I still have serious problems with our defensive coordinator and also, our special teams play. Less than stellar.and marginal at times. If we are going to win 10+ games this year they have to improve significantly. I like and admire controlled aggression on both sides of the ball. We did not show enough consistently on either side of the ball last year. Here's hoping it is being addressed. 60’sdcdawg, just got back in town and enjoyed your blog.

But remember, the media LOVED John McCain for years and years because he generally sided with the opposition party on most issues or "played the fence", untilllll, he became the presidental nominee! Then he could not do anything right according to the mainstream media and he was coined a raving idiot with a awful temper, remember. There is a price for being overly diplomatic, you can lose much of your personal integrity. Agree where you can, but do have personal standards that you don't budge from when it comes to the area of team loyalty. JaX Dawg, I was paying you a compliment.

By the way, I grew up and still live in Jacksonville, FL and by the way have been around a little longer than you (Florida class of 67). Like I said regarding GA QB's.....at the monent you really don't have one. True freshman Murray may or may not prove to be a good one, but as of right now you are either stuck with Cox who is average at best or a true freshman somewhere in the middle of the upcoming season. Not good! If Cox was as good as touted coming out of Chris Leak's old high school four years ago, then he would have at least pushed Stafford somewhere along the line, but he never did. Ask yoursel is he as good or better than Stafforsd. I would certainly hope better if I were a puppy fan, because staffors only had minimal success against the Gators. By the way, Urban appears arrogant to you Puppy fans because he owns you and you know it. One last thing regarding recruiting. There is an example of one big difference between SOS owning you and Urban owning you and it all revolves around a question that SOS made to the media following one of our many wins against your puppies in the 90's, as follows: How come it is that come national signing day Georgia supposedly signed all the best players, but come game day....we appear to have the best players? The big difference now is that we sign the best players in February and they prove to still be the best players come October. Georgia did do a good job in getting a comittment from the Benedict kid from the Bolles school here in Jacksonville, but he spent most of his life in South Carolina and really had no long time ties to the state Florida, so that came as no big surpise. However, the other kids that cmitted to the puppies from here are 3 star rate kids and could obviously turn out to be good players some day, but another question you might need to ask yourself is why would Georgia jump the gun to offer 2 & 3 star rated kids in June of 2009, when national signing day is not until February of 2010? The truth is the defending national champs don't have to do that, as they have 4 & 5 star kids lined up that want to comitt to them, but they can afford to wait on some of them until next February, in leiu of offering a kid this early that might be considered a project. I believe, as a long time follower of recruiting, that the puppies offered a couple of these out of state kids because they are not in on as many big time kids right now as you might think. Just facts my man....just quoting facts! Hey, takedowndawg, I’m just responding to all this typical Georgia nonsense my man…that’s all.

Do I think he is leaving anytime soon? probably not, but as a fan of good football and the SEC this is how it is in the toughest Conference in the Nation Top teams top Coaches up and down the Conference so good on the Gators for keeping him, I`m sure if UGA had him we`d be doing the same thing. To Tampa Gator - I was not saying that ALL Gator fans are bandwagon fans, all I was implying was that in the most recent 3-5 yr span you guys have picked fans that have absolutely No knowledge of Gator Football and are riding the coattails of the recent success that Florida has. I have some good friends here in Jacksonville who are Gator fans, and even they have told me they cannot stand the amount of bandwagon fans they have seen in orange and blue and are total idiots don`t worry....

That is inspite of having consistently high ranked running backs on campus out of Georgia's better HS programs. What is happening to these kids after they arrive in Athens? Is their not a commitment to the running game? Are the O lineman not very good? Is the scheme flawed or too old school? Are the kids poorly coached? Is the offense not condusive to getting the ball to their playmakers giving them the best chance to hit big plays? What gives?

I can't say as I blame them. JDB, turn the radio down in your pickup truck so you can comprehend my question to you. Urban already had his chance to be the head coach at Notre Dame and tunred it down. Did you forget that fact? What you puppies fail to understand is what Bear Bryant said 4 decades ago and that was "If florida ever puts it all together in terms of the right AD and the right coach, they will dominate the SEC" "They are a sleeping giant". Well puppies, that prophecy came true. What you guys don't get is that it is not just about Meyer. Florida has had the best overall sports program in the SEC for years and is the only school to be ranked in the top ten college sports programs in the nation for 11 straight years. That is because of AD Jeremy Foley, so even if Meyer were to move on one day, Florida has become one of the very elites in college sports, so great coaches will be knoocking the door down for the job. Face it, The Gators are not going anywhere, so you need to just accept that fact and get used to it. Just enjoy the fact that your puppies are okay...certainly not great by any means, but just accept it and you will all sleep a lot better Like I said, all these puppies are both jealous and downright pathetic as they pray Meyer will leave Flrorida.

Well puppies, that prophecy came true. What you guys don’t get is that it is not just about Meyer. Florida has had the best overall sports program in the SEC for years and is the only school to be ranked in the top ten college sports programs in the nation for 11 straight years. That is because of AD Jeremy Foley, so even if Meyer were to move on one day, Florida has become one of the very elites in college sports, so great coaches will be knoocking the door down for the job. Face it, The Gators are not going anywhere, so you need to just accept that fact and get used to it. Just enjoy the fact that your puppies are okay…certainly not great by any means, but just accept it and you will all sleep a lot better

Jeremy Foley will make sure of that. Spurrier didn't leave because of money, he just felt like it was the time to try the NFL. Things can always change but Urban has been quoted several times as saying he is not a real fan of coaching in the Pro game. Maybe when his kids are all grown up he will try a new challenge but thats 7-8 years away. In the meantime, it will remain a Bulldog fantasy because they know thats the only way this tide will turn...or maybe not...even the Zooker ruled the Dawgs.

Firstly it will be money, probably the biggest contract ever for a college football coach. Secondly, it will be the "honor" of taking over the most historied program in all of college football. And finally, because in his heart of hearts, UF will never be "home" to Urban because of how personally different he is from the vast majority of alumni as well as the rest of the state of Florida of whom the university represents. He was born in Ohio, went to Catholic high school, and spent the majority of his coaching career in the Midwest, establishing a clear identity with values typical of other like-minded Catholic folks from Ohio and NOT one that will ever truly feel at home at Jean Shorts U. At almost every SEC school, the coach is from the South, and most are comprised of values that are consistent with the people of the state and its flagship school, thus contributing to the likelihood that a coach will remain loyal to his school simply because it feels like home. At UF, there is no such connection and it really has nothing to do with Meyer. It's the fact that half of the state is there on vacation and lives in Ontario 6 months of the year. It's the reason for the existence of the phrase "it's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there".

Also, don't even mention QB's at Georgia, cause at this moment you have none. You just lost Stafford who may prove to be the most overrated QB to play college football in recent memory. He was a kid with great talent, big arm, but no decision making ability in big games when it really counted. However, the same could be said for Peyton Manning coming out fo UT and he turned out to be a great pro, but then again he never beat us. The truth is when debating your favorite team, the opponant that has been kicking your butt on a regular basis, means that any small time smack talk from their fans is really kind of ridiculas. Until your team steps up and accomplishes something other than being average, you can't win any depabe wth Gator fans. It's really just that simple. Hey takedowndawg: Dream on!
