Georgia defense is very poor and will not be able to stop most teams. An avg. of 35 points a game is just not going to get it done.

Please provide us with one concrete example of a time when CMR showed himself to be anything other than a man of his word. Just one example will do. I’ll hang up and listen.

Was it Utah or Utah State that humiliated, stomped and simply abused BAMA on NATIONAL TV?

Did um, Lou, nope, I mean Nick the Tick Saban have anything to say after that ugly, humiliating beat down?

Goooooooooooooooooooo DAWGS !!!

Branden Smith. You more than made up for your mistakes in the SC game. Even I got down on you after the Oki game. Ignore your naysayers on these blogs. Some are idiots and raid UGA blogs to incite the GA faithful. You can tell which ones are not true fans. You’re going to be one of UGA’s best players. Hold on to the ball, eliminate mistakes, don’t take unnecessary chances, don’t let fame go to your head and lose focus and stay in school for 4 years. You’ll be playing on Sunday’s so enjoy college life and the comarade of your college team mates.

i do understand your point but i think Richt has proven he knows how to develop a QB and if he says Cox is the guy then I am on board. that’s why we pay him the big bucks – to make decisions like this.

OK so there’s two blogs that talk about top SC recruits being at UGA for the SC game. One that struck me was none of the kids mentioned Clemson! They mentioned the SEC schools then others on their list were mainly big traditional schools. So what is this telling us? Is the SEC now like the ACC in basketball, perceived to be THE conf to play in for that sport? If so the SEC will only separate itself even more from the other conferences in Football. So SC kids don’t even have Clemson on there radar? WOW! This may just be individual decisions by these kids & not a trend which is the best case scenario for Clemson. At worst that means they think Clemson is right behind the SEC & big traditional schools meaning there about the 20th school. In other words a scholarship offer from any of those schools is considered more prestigious than getting one from Clemson which means if an SC kid gets offers from enough of those school then the Tigers are no longer even an option. WOW! If Lattimore comes to UGA then it would continue a recent trend of the top SC in that class players coming to UGA. The good news for them is that there natural recruiting area includes north GA & most of NC plus they have a good pipeline from north Florida established. Still it’s shocking to realize that best recruits in SC aren’t even considering Clemson! Makes you wonder if Clemson people still think Yababa Daba Dumbo was the right choice.

Georgia just better watch out for the VOLS the next couple of years. You better believe that CLK has already shown ELITE recruits that we play the best player, freshmen or not. Matter of fact we start around 6 freshmen. All with consistent playing time. Not to mention we are third in the nation in recruiting and first in the SEC. So go ahead Georgia, impress the recruits you got….apparently they are not as good as UT’s. Everyone can have there fun now with us VOLS but you just wait. Be scared the next couple of years!

Other than that….It’s good to see a freshmen like that contribute early!

TampaGator, I always appreciate your thoughtful posts and enjoy reading them, but how can you say anything about playing the backup when your starter stays in games way past when he should? Typically, Tebow is in games into the late 3rd and even 4th quarter when it’s apparent that your team is going to win the game and usually up by several scores.

I have often wondered about that. Is it to boost stats, egos or what? I am not trying to be crass, I really want to know. Tebow really has nothing left to prove (especially to ESPN…).

Thanks for the first hand insight. We unlucky ones who could not be there are at the mercy of the camera man. I know however after watching replays of the first game that Branden took the kickoffs out of his own initiative and after the first time the coaches should have corrected that. If the up-back did indeed motion him out then that should as well be addressed by the coaches during their film meeting and a clear guidance as to how to handle that kind of situation made clear during practice. Just freshman mistakes that the upper classmen were able to work around thank goodness. Branden did make atonement for it with that blazing TD run. I can’t wait for more plays to be developed with him in mind.

Sorry for the typo. Brantley will NOT command the same respect of opposing defenses. Just wanna be clear in case someone missed the gist of the statement. Go Dawgs!

PowerDawg — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:43:55 +0000

Hey Tampa: I know you have to keep telling yourself this mantra…we’ll be ok when Timmy leaves…we’ll be ok when Timmy leaves! Hate to bust your bubble but Brantley is not going to carry your team on his back like Tebow has. He is a fine passer and has some scrambling ability but he will command the same level of respect by defenses in this league. He will not be anywhere as strong a runner. But Tebow leaving is just the beginning of the founding of that ship. Your other starting seniors as well as every third year soph and junior you have will be fumping to the NFL lifeboat.
Then those little half track-half football RB’s Meyer has stocked up on will be all alone…”what will become of us, Corch Meyers?” “Bulldogs and Tigers and Tide OH MY!!!”
Believe what you want but it’s gonna happen…bet on it! Hell, Urban may even leave since his sweetheart has graduated. See you in Jax!

Stinger,
I didn’t say that UGA is playing more night games than other teams. However, while UGA previously *avoided* night games in order to reduce the number of rowdy (trouble-maker) fans, other teams have embraced night games all along. The new tv contracts are forcing UGA to play a number of night games that is about equal to what other teams are playing. Therefore, what was formerly an advantage for other teams (having an electric game environment for recruits to see) is now even between UGA and and other schools.

Stinger…. thanks for your compliments. It is always nice to see you deep in the conversations about the DAWGs. It is facinating to see a teck fan spend so much time sharing their feelings on Dawg subjects. If I didn’t know better I’d say folks on the teck blog don’t like you anymore than they like M or yellow fuzz. Why else would you spend so much time with us Dawgs? You gotta get some new material. You and M both have no imagination.

After Brandon Boykin’s electrifying kickoff returns, South Carolina started kicking it short. Why not put Boykin and Brandon Smith in together on returns and play one around the 15 and the other on the goal line? This way, a playmaker will get the ball either way and both should know how to block. They could alternate every kickoff. This seems rather obvious to me…anyone else agree or is something wrong with this logic?

The SC game loosened up some good feelings about this team and as the week goes on I see less nit-pickin’. Maybe the mystery of who will be the next burner will keep other teams wondering while practicing. Most of you have the spirit now and that does wonders for the team to know. These kids and this year promises to be fun. We will still have the gut wrench at game start, but this gang looks to be having a lot of fun without us. Great for them.

Boling’s game should be lauded as much as Smith’s. No flash, just smash. Didn’t know he was such an animal. Great game and future games for him. We should all be enthused with the depth and heart of this team. I felt before season that the Porkers would be the toughest early season opponent. Why do some people think that they have slipped a step? Let me hear it from you fans! GO DAWGS!!

As much as all the non dog fans hate to hear it: This is still dawg country. Sorry you didn’t grow-up in Atlanta or the AJC newspaper does not support your team.

You come here and post out of jealousy. Why, because 1 win or 12 wins we still love and support our dawgs. It is funny you guys only come in here and bash UGA when your team does well, has a great coach. Classic, I did not hear from Bama, Florida, Tennessee or GT fan’s until they either beat UGA or had great seasons.

Why do you hate UGA, you have to live in Georgia and you can’t stand the blue collar fan base. We bleed red and black and we love the G on the helmet regardless of the scoreboard and W-L record. Because your system of worth regarding football is W-L, you probably only support your team during good times, which by default you bash UGA because you feel superior.

May your team teach you the true meaning of football. It is not the fan’s, money and the stadium. It is the kids taking the field and living a dream. When they take a knee at the end of the game and hold hands, that is what it is about.

I played for 15 years of my life and currently coach.

Some fan’s are like some players, they never learn what football was meant to teach them. Humility, respect and understanding their is more to life than what is between the ply lines.

Samuel played better against SC than the Okies for sure. Cox looked better too, but that’s not saying a whole lot.

This could be a very fun and entertaining season. I’m really looking forward to Arkansas this Saturday.

Why do these Gator fans think they need to talk so much smack so early in the season? They’ve really looked good so far against against Maria and her convent <— The hills are alive!

Georgia has excellent talent and good to decent coaches (even Martinez folks) and a very good head coach. The Dawgs need a really good QB and a little more experience and they will right back in the top 10 or top 5 soon. Smith will only get better with time and experience. Same for Charles. Not sure about Brown. Playing WR is not just about speed and talent. It is about how to effectively use that speed and talent against speed and talent. Cox might get you 9 wins this year. Possibly 10. But if I were Richt, I would be getting ready to play one of the other three QB’s a lot and real soon so I will be prepared to contend with the Gators next year and the years after that. The Gators aren’t going down after Tebow no matter what you think. John Brantley is really good. And Tennessee is going to get much better real soon. Kentucky is developing a fine program, and South Carolina is coming on. So I would determine who my QB is for the next three years and play the kid now. Cox is not your future and one of the other kids can probably play at Cox’s level real soon…and will be much better than Cox for years to come as a result. You certainly don’t want to go into next year with an inexperienced, red-shirt QB.
