Grantham: Dogs can be better than Florida, Texas, Southern Cal
Athens – I’m pretty sure Georgia fans are going to love these words from Todd Grantham, the Bulldogs’ new defensive coordinator:
“Over the last 11 years [in the NFL], I have evaluated a lot of players from this state –- not only players of the University of Georgia but players that have played everywhere else, too,” Grantham said today. “And I have always believed -– and I believe to this day – that if we took the best players in the state of Georgia and within a five-hour radius of our school, if they come to the University of Georgia, then we can win the SEC championship and compete for a national title. And I think you can be better than Florida, you can be better than Texas, and you can be better than Southern Cal – if those players came to the University of Georgia. So that’s what excited me about coming here.”
Grantham’s hiring a week ago has been well received by Georgia fans, who probably will like it even more after hearing the intense new guy in town talk about being better than Florida, Texas and USC. . . .
A few other things from today’s session with Grantham:
– Turning down Nick Saban: Yes, Grantham confirmed, he was offered a job in 2005 as the Miami Dolphins’ defensive coordinator by Saban, the noted defensive genius. But Grantham, who previously worked for Saban at Michigan State, turned down the Dolphins’ job to take the defensive-coordinator position with the Cleveland Browns instead. “Basically it got down to a geographical decision, really,” he explained, noting that Cleveland is closer than Miami to his Virginia hometown.
– Evaluating his new players: Grantham said the first step is to study film on them. “Right now what I’ve done is with the two graduate assistants, who I can tell you do a great job; these guys are unbelievable. I’ve had those guys [Todd Hartley and Mitch Doolittle, who famously filled in as coaches when the staff was short-handed for the bowl game] pull off about 25 or 30 plays of each [player]. That kind of gives you a feel for the player. So we’ll look at those and get a feel for each guy.” Soon Grantham will get to know the players in the off-season program, and then he’ll have them on the field in spring practice. “It’s a process that will be ongoing all the way up until next [season], but you got to start somewhere,” he said. “And we’re going to start with the evaluation of what they have done so far.”
– NFL vs. college: Grantham, whose first two coaching jobs were at Virginia Tech and Michigan State, spent the past 11 years in the NFL. He said he went there initially to enhance his future as a college coach. “I always had an aspiration to coach in pro football, and the reason is that it is the graduate school of coaching. It’s the best players, it’s the best systems, and it is the best coaches to a point -– not that there aren’t great coaches in college. But you do get challenged up there. So I looked forward to that challenge. But, really, I wanted to do that to enhance my career in college. I have always had aspirations of being a coordinator and a head coach one day, and I felt like, what better [than the NFL] on your resume when you to into a home [recruiting]? . . . That way when I walk into a home, my resume could speak for where I could help the kid go. And that’s really one of the reasons I went to pro football. Over the past 11 years, there have been some opportunities to come back to college, but the timing was never right and I never felt as strongly as I did about this job.”
Also: Grantham says Rodney Garner will remain the Dogs’ D-line coach.

I NEVER SAID THAT.
I said Texas beat 1 top 25 team, Nebraska, who beat NO top 25 team and therefore TEXAS would LOSE to Alabama who beat Number 5 Florida, Number 11 Virginia Tech, Number 12 LSU and guess what D.A. ?
I WAS RIGHT.
Alabama BEAT Texas.
Alabama is BETTER than Coach Richt now.
Texas, in the Coach Richt Era has been MUCH BETTER than Coach Richt.
LSU is BETTER than Coach Richt in the Coach Richt Era.
Florida is BETTER than Coach Richt in the Coach Richt Era.
Texas is BETTER in the Coach Richt Era than Coach Richt.
Boise State is BETTER than Coach Richt in Coach Richt Era.
Oklahoma is BETTER than Coach Richt in the Coach Richt Era.
Ohio State is BETTER than Coach Richt in Coach Richt Era.
Southern California is BETTER than Coach Richt in the Coach Richt Era.
Coach Richt is
17-19 vs AP Poll Final Top 25 and 8 Losses to UNRANKED teams.

Guess what DA? BULLDAWG you lost all respect with that comment. You think that because you type something long and say it loud it’s true. That’s some crystal ball you’ve got there to predict AL would beat TX.
There is so much more that goes into how good a team is than its record. See Cinici, a minor league team wound up ranked in the top 10. And if you think the Boise State program fields better teams than UGA then maybe you should become a fan of their team, get an NCAA TV package tapped into your moms basement. Surely they are on somewhere. The QB at Boise as well as the one at TCU , makes Joe Cox look like Joe Willie. The “final AP Top 25″ is useless as a parameter to judge the power level of a football team. Boise, TCU, Cinci, NE, CLEMSON, Tech, Miami, FL, Utah, PITTSBURGH????, hell Cinci beat them!, and WI none of those teams could have beaten UGA as bad as we were this year and you try to use the top 25 as your yardstick for success?? Pathetic.
Redshirting 7 of the best players in the country? WHO says they are some of the best in the country? YOU? You obviously know nothing about talent since you proclaim Boise to be better than a good high school all star team. Why not redshirt those D Linemen when you already have 3 that will play in the NFL that are seniors? Bozo. You have no idea why those guys were redshirted, they could have needed more time to get used to the academics, or a million reasons, but the point is YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Why don’t you coach a D-1 team since you know so much?
Just because you write long posts and write them in that ignorant format you use doesn’t make it true. I’m done with you. Save your ignorant posts for someone who isn’t bright enough to know the difference. I won’t be reading another.

I am one who depends on history to tell me what will happen inthe future. Both college and pro football teams generally run in cycles. New England, and U of Fla. are examples of teams that have bucked history and have done well over a long period of time. That said look at Dallas who just won its first playoff game in over a decade [ Dallas has always been americas team, but is just breaking back into prominance] New Endland was down this year. Now look at Oklahoma, Southern Cal, LSU, Notre Dame, college teams that are on a down cycle, and I will add UGA to that list. Nebraska, Miami, GT, and a few other ‘name’ schools seem to be on the upswing……Hell, Alabama lost to La. Monroe year before last……..I have no problem with pride when it comes to supporting “your” team….But be careful, funny things can happen during football season. Me? I am a GEORGIA BULLDOG…. and damn proud of it, and look for my Dogs time to come soon. I hope all on these blogs will enjoy their teams, and good luck to all. But remember in every game there is a winner and a loser…..I believe college football is a gentlemans game…….A little bravado is understandable…..But Please try to tone down some of the foul mouth trash…..it really distracts from a Great Game……..Thanks for your consideration…..RED

PHIL, you child trying to act like you are a lawyer. Invalid arguments and lies. You say that UGA Bulldogs only fumbled and threw interceptions 1 year of the last 4. That we have been GREAT BEYOND MEASURE AND NO TEAM BETTER IN THE NATION. You even said that to a Florida fan about Florida.
Which of these last 4 Consecutive Seasons for UGA Bulldogs is the ONLY 1 YEAR UGA HAS FUMBLED OR THROWN INTERCEPTIONS you lie about as well PHIL ?
2009 :
23 FUMBLES
17 INTERCEPTIONS
2008 :
19 FUMBLES
10 INTERCEPTIONS
2007 :
18 FUMBLES
10 INTERCEPTIONS
2006 :
22 FUMBLES
16 INTERCEPTIONS
You just MAKE UP WHATEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE UP PHIL. Your arguments are ALL LIES. UGA Bulldog fan PHIL saying to a FLORIDA GATOR that HE THE FLORIDA GATOR WISHES HE WERE US UGA BULLDOGS’ FANS.
PHIL, pardon me sir, but Florida has WON 3 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS starting 1996. It has been 3 DECADES since we Won a NC PHIL. Over the last 2 DECADES PHIL, UGA has beat Florida 3 times. And, you think that Florida just WISHES they were us ?
God Almighty PHIL. That alone, never mind your lies about me saying that Texas is NOT BETTER THAN COACH RICHT when Texas Clearly Has Been, Is and Will Be compared to us in the Coach Richt Era. Do you really believe anyone believes you that I said that Texas is NOT AS GOOD as UGA in the Coach Richt Era ? YOU KNOW PHIL I said that Texas is NOT AS GOOD AS ALABAMA this year. So, why did you LIE PHIL ?
In the Coach Richt Era, Texas has Won 101 games and lost only 16, while Coach Richt has won only 90 and Lost 27.
Oh yeah, I said that Texas is NOT AS GOOD AS UGA in the Coach Richt Era. What total B.S. lies PHIL, you child.
1 of your colleagues yells when he is arguing a case. Probably because you LIE and try to drown him out in grammar school recess.
PHIL, I already did the research and LISTED THE 9 Coach Richt RECRUITS on last year’s recruiting class whom Coach Richt DID REDSHIRT. They are all 4-Star players ranked in the Top 15 in the nation at their position.
Hells Bells, Coach Richt tried to Redshirt Washaun Ealey with me in here every week from this time last year until he finally ripped the Redshirt off the Number 11 Best Running Back in the Nation.
1 DT with 3 seniors my butt.
PHIL, YOU WISH you cannot QUOTE ME as you do that I said too that not only did Washaun Ealey have to play against Oklahoma State, but that Zach METTENBERGER did too. That you cannot have a class like we have now, with 3 Freshmen Quarterbacks. Zach METTENBERGER had to hit the field. Yeah, we didn’t need Washaun Ealey or Zach METTENBERGER last season, a 5-LOSS SEASON in which we lost to 2 UNRANKED in the Final AP Poll Top 25 teams, vols and Kentucky for God’s sake. Zach METTENBERGER is one of the Top 10 Best Quarterbacks in the NATION according to EVERY RECRUITING SOURCE we all realize you know more about than they do PHIL with the millions they are paid for you instead you are the guru about PHIL. That’s right, tell yourself we could not have used Zach Mettenberger against these teams Joe Cox sick, injured, sore-armed and unable to compete effectively.
Chris BURNETTE, Dallas LEE and Austin LONG are all 3 ranked in the Top 16 in the Nation on the OL. Nationally all 3 in the Top 16 best OL in the NATION, PHIL. Were you watching the same games I was watching PHIL ? We were told that our OL Coach was the best in the nation from Auburn. We were told our OL was great beyond measure. Instead, what I saw I have no idea what games you were watching, our OL could not block for the run or the pass. They could FALSE START. That’s about it. They could HOLD. That’s about it. They blocked in 1 game all season long. They blocked against the Number 13 team in the nation. So we beat 1 Top 25 team, Number 13. We LOST TO ALL THE REST and for good measure LOST to 2 UNRANKED teams because we could not block our way out of a WET PAPER DAMN BAG. Yeah, right PHIL, we only had 1 DT with 3 senior DT, so we didn’t need these 3 Top 16 best OL in the nation in a 5-LOSS SEASON.
You are such a LIAR.
A D.A.
Chase VASSER. We didn’t need Chase VASSER last year in a 5-Loss Season without him, either. Our linebackers were all so freaking great last season. He adds nothing to the rotation obviously either.
Jordan LOVE. Damn it. We had the sorriest Secondary we’ve ever had in over 50 years of me watching UGA every game last year. But, God Above Knows you know MORE ABOUT UGA FOOTBALL THAN I PHIL. All we had was a Defensive Tackle we Redshirted and we had 3 senior DT last season, you say. Excuse me ? We didn’t need Jordan LOVE. Nah, nothing like that.
Kwame GEATHERS and Derrick LOTT would not have helped one bit against Oklahoma State whom we LOST to in a 5-LOSS season, when against Oklahoma State we got zero interceptions because our Defensive Front got a grand total of 2 tackles for a loss of 3 yards total lost. No sacks, no forced fumbles, no nothing about Oklahoma State. Hell, Houston beat Okie State, but not us. Ole Miss slaughtered Okie State 21-7 but not UGA. That is the state of this football program that Ole Miss is better than us too, last season. Oklahoma Lost 5 games last year including 13-41 to Texas Tech for God’s Sake; but, even Oklahoma beat Okie State. We certainly didn’t need Geathers and Lott and NOT THE 7, but the 9 TOP-RANKED FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO SCOUT.COM AND RIVALS who know a hell of a lot more than you, that Coach Richt Redshirted.
Nah.
We didn’t need those 9 players – 10 if he had had his way and got to REDSHIRT WASHAUN EALEY like he did KNOWSHON MORENO.
Or, like the 2 passes we threw to Marlon Brown for 15 yards total all last season, when Marlon Brown is the Best Football Player in the State of Tennessee and the 2nd best Receiver in the United States of America. Nah, when AJ Green was injured basically for the entire 2nd half of a 13 game season, we didn’t need to throw the ball to Marlon Brown.
IT’S TOO OBVIOUS.
Coach Richt’s strategy is WRONG, and it has NOT WORKED.
We had the Number 63 Scoring Defense in the Nation last year and you PHIL try to tell me we didn’t need Kwame GEATHERS and Derrick LOTT.
PHIL, Excuse me, we needed all 10 of these REDSHIRTS including Washaun EALEY.
PHIL, uh pardon me, we LOST 5 GAMES, son.
We had the Number 80 Passing Offense and the Number 47 Rushing Offense.
Coach Richt thought he would get a BYE for last year, so he just wrote it off before it ever started.
HE PLAYS FREAKING FAVORITES.
Coach Richt does NOT RANK the players and then get his best PLAYMAKERS on the field.
Every school gets 85 Scholarships for up to 4 years they are allowed to actually play in games, barring season injury.
You cannot WASTE 9 of the best players in the nation and then LOSE 5 GAMES.
That is B.S.

RED DOG 77, sir :
That’s not what you have been saying RED DOG 77.
“Oklahoma, Southern Cal, LSU, Notre Dame, college teams that are on a down cycle, and I will add UGA to that list.”
I said that. I said that my Beloved Georgia Bulldogs 3 of the last 4 years, have been hugely widely disappointing. That 1 of the last 4 years did we deserve to be ranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25. You might remember that year. The 1 not really sorry year of the last 4 years now. We got to play Number 19 Hawaii, a really sorry football team. That was our reward. That was the year too that we LOST to UNRANKED South Carolina, who did not even go to a bowl game. It is what we do. Lose once a year in the Coach Richt Era to a team who is UNRANKED. A home game Tween The Hedges, lost to an UNRANKED football team again, we’ve accomplished 8 times in the Coach Richt Era now.
We also were BLOWN OUT by the vols that same 1 year of the last 4 that we were not largely wildly disappointing. 14-35 they beat us. Then, the vols, and not us, got to play in The SEC Championship Game because of the LOSS.
The other 3 of the last 4 years, have been miserable years for all of us True UGA Bulldogs’ Football Fans.

Hot damn, we’ve really been great on OFFENSE.
.
.
OFFENSE.
We cannot line up and run a play without a Penalty.
We cannot line up and run a play without turning the football over.
We cannot figure out who Our Best Players are, and play them.
We give up on 3rd and 10 and run the football.
We cannot block for the pass.
We cannot block for the run.
We can hold.
We can false start.
We lose to an UNRANKED team in Final Poll EVERY YEAR for 9 years now.
We LOSE to the Top 25 teams MORE THAN WE BEAT THEM.
We have had 0 years when we got a great bowl game to cap a season.
We are an afterthought on the National Stage.
We are WORSE than LSU and FLORIDA in the Coach Richt Era.
We are WORSE than Alabama now too.
We are WORSE than Texas in the Coach Richt Era.
We are WORSE than Oklahoma in the Coach Richt Era.
We are WORSE than Southern California in the Coach Richt Era.
We are WORSE than Boise State in the Coach Richt Era.
We are WORSE than Ohio State in the Coach Richt Era.
We are CONSISTENTLY WORSE in the Coach Richt Era than ALL OF THESE TEAMS, INCLUDING NOW WE ARE THE 4TH BEST TEAM IN OUR OWN DAMN CONFERENCE.
17-19 vs AP Poll Final Top 25 and 8 Losses to UNRANKED teams.
Our Offense is the Problem. We do NOT have good play calls.
We waste the firepower handed to our Offensive Coaching Staff.
Bryan McClendon NEVER PLAYED RUNNING BACK for UGA.
Bryan McClendon was ONLY a RECEIVER for UGA.
His dad did. Maybe we should hire his DAD ?
He clearly cannot determine who should be our Running Back.
He clearly cannot teach any Running Back how to carry the ball so he doesn’t fumble it.
Bryan McClendon was a good Receiver when he played. Maybe he should coach Receivers ?
Why does it take until 3rd Quarter of 5th Game to play Washaun Ealey not Richard Samuel and not Caleb Freaking King ?
We Started Richard Samuel and Caleb Freaking do nothing King EVERY GAME at Tailback except 2 starts by Washaun Ealey.
WHO THE HELL DO YOU ANY OF YOU THINK IS A BETTER RUNNING BACK ?
I am not the 1 who is so damn smart, who should be hired as O.C. or head Coach. YOU ARE. You all say that Washaun Ealey CLEARLY IS OUR BEST RUNNING BACK.
So, why ?
Because we play FAVORITES, even those who have proven they are NOT as good as the ones BEHIND them on the Depth Chart.
Because our Running Backs’ Coach KNOWS NOTHING about Running Backs.
NOTHING.
.
Tony Ball NEVER PLAYED RECEIVER.
Tony Ball taught AJ Green to be great ? I think not.
Tony Ball cannot teach Marlon Brown but CAN AJ Green ?
What’s that all about ?
Tony Ball was a Great Running Back.
So, why then is Tony Ball Coaching the Receivers Coach Richt ?
Shouldn’t Bryan McClendon have Tony Ball’s job and Tony Ball, Bryan McClendon’s job ?
They NEITHER are doing the job you put them in with NO NFL EXPERIENCE and with NO EXPERIENCE at the POSITION you have them BOTH as POSITION COACH for.
Why did we play Marlon Brown and LOSE AN ENTIRE SEASON throwing him only 2 passes all season long for only 15 yards ?
Why ?
Because our Receivers’ Coach KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT RECEIVERS.
He didn’t teach AJ Green. AJ Green was already All-America before Tony Ball given this CUSHY DAMN JOB “coaching” AJ Green.
In the Florida game at half time, they interviewed Coach Richt and asked him what they had to do to get AJ Green involved in the game ? Coach Richt glibly shot back : Throw him the ball ?
.
John Lilly was a Quarterback.
What the F does John Lilly know about Tight Ends ?
John Lilly coached Tight Ends for Coach Richt the last couple of years.
John Lilly 1st year TE Coach, NO TE caught more than 5 passes all season.
John Lilly this past year has 3 of the best TE in the nation.
He cannot figure out that ORSON CHARLES with star in NFL for 10 years.
He thinks Aron White is BETTER because he caught 3 passes entire 2008.
Orson Charles caught 23 passes for 374 yards his freshman year, not 3.
John Lilly has Aron White Starter at TE for 3 passes caught freshman yr.
Why did we LOSE to Okie State, LSU and the vols ?
Losses because we did NOT Start our Best Players, play FAVORITES.
FAVORITES who proved they are NOT as good as one behind them on the Damn Depth Chart.
You want to KNOW WHY WE BEAT Georgia Tek & Texas A&M ?
Because ORSON CHARLES was Starting TE in those 2 games.
Why does it take 11 games to figure out Orson Charles GREAT Aron White back-up ?
Why ?
Because we play FAVORITES; that’s why.
Give me a Freaking Break 3 catches all of 2008 makes Aron White Starter until Game 12 of a 13 game season. YOU SAID Orson Charles should have been the Starter in Game 1. I am NOT the one who should be O.C. or head Coach. YOU SHOULD BE.
It takes us until Game 12 of 13 to make Orson Charles Starting TE ?
Idiots.
THERE is NO WAY to RANK the PLAYERS, and get your PLAYMAKERS on the DAMN FIELD and have Orson Charles NOT START until Game 12 in favor of Aron White.
.
MIKE FREAKING BOBO.
Alias Bozo.
He had a fine senior season for UGA, 1 of the best ever as our QB # 10 UGA.
Having taught our QB Matthew Stafford to have 51 Interceptions and Fumbles to his 51 Touchdown Passes, he is PROMOTED to Offensive Coordinator.
You may recall the previous OC was arrested for DUI. Neil Callaway.
Then, again, you may not. I do.
Neil Callaway finally left after his DUI as our Offensive Coordinator.
He apologized for the DUI, Neil Callaway did.
2006 with Matthew Stafford and Neil Callaway Offensive Coordinator :
.
79 NCAA Number 79 Passing Offense
90 NCAA Number 90 Total Offense
70 NCAA Number 70 Most Penalties
22 FUMBLES
16 INTERCEPTIONS
1 DUI by the Offensive Coordinator.
1 Beer Keg Photo at Talladega, following Callaway’s example, by his Starting QB.
Any correlation there you think ? Nice coaching job.
Neil Callaway is 11-25 at UAB replacing Watson Brown 62-74 at UAB.
The DUI and Beer Keg Photos were Major Distractions in 2006.

SO, WITH THAT BACKGROUND NEXT OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR hired by Coach Richt is MIKE BOZO, I mean Booboo, I mean Bobo, sorry.

This, not only is NOT a good trend, but Mike Bobo has NEVER BEAT a Final AP Poll Top 10 team, LOSING EVERY GAME.
Duh.
5-6 vs. Final AP Poll Top 25 with 4 LOSSES to UNRANKED TEAMS.
Duh.
Has FAILED to PREPARE a SINGLE QUARTERBACK, ever.
Talks about VALUING THE FOOTBALL and how we have to do BETTER at VALUING THE FOOTBALL, because of ME in here.
Then, promptly goes out instead and HAS SOME OF THE WORST PERFORMANCES by his Quarterbacks on Offense EVER on ANY TEAM in the HISTORY of FOOTBALL with combined FUMBLES and INTERCEPTIONS now EXCEEDING the number of Touchdown Passes as OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR.
Plus, he cannot even line his players up and run a play without a penalty.
3rd and 10 ? Running Play. Every time.
1st down ?
Throw a Pass.
Mike Bobo is so predicable that UNRANKED TEAMS’ coaches UTTERLY take him to the DAMN CLEANERS.
4 LOSSES to UNRANKED TEAMS as Offensive Coordinator.

Bozo OC scored 12 points vs 6-Loss no Bowl Game South Carolina 2007.

Bozo put up 19 vs 6-Loss vols. vols put up 45.
Bozo put up 27 vs 6-Loss UNRANKED Kentucky.
Bozo put up 17 vs Florida this year after 10 last year when he got applauds from the Florida players on the sidelines politely applauding Bozo for finally scoring with a minute left the only touchdown he got with Knowshon Moreno, Matthew Stafford and AJ Green.
.
.
It has been a MISERABLE RUN with Mike Bobo as Offensive Coordinator.
There is NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT.
Mike Bobo has NEVER BEEN OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ANYWHERE.
But, we have to have a coach with 11 years NFL Experience to be our Defensive Coordinator, but our Offensive Coordinator can be of the same mold as all the other coach Richt hires on his “coaching staff” other than this 1 Defensive Coordinator with 11 Years NFL Experience.
No Knowledge of good play calls and no one ever said he did.
No Experience as Offensive Coordinator.
No NFL experience.
No Proof he can call plays.
Boos by EVERY FAN at Sanford Stadium for Bozo’s PLAY CALLS.

BuLLdawg…I dont think you are looking at my posts clearly….First I would have rather won more games, and gone to a better bowl, and been ranked higher…..all of the above over the last three years…..However, I have absolutely loved my BULLDOGS, and either attended or watched every game the last three years. Now believing MY BULLDOGS should compete for the MNC just about every year, yea you could say we have been on a down turn of late….But what you failed to read was the fact that our players[ the ones we have] and the ones that will be enrolling soon are studs….and I believe with one year under his belt….Aaron Murray will mature and be ready to raise some eyebrows in 2011, same w/new 3-4 D it will take a year for that to take hold as well……So BuLLdawg we are down in ny opinion…….But just you wait till 2011……It most certainly be our time………Now BuLLdawg That is what I have posted…….Just what in the world have you posted ? I really cant seem to make much logic out of it……Mostly…I just scroll past Ol BuLLdawg……I still think you should try hard to write a book……or just GO TO BED, yea, if you went to bed……that would work for me and most that have commented to you as well…..RED

[...] Grantham: And I have always believed -– and I believe to this day – that if we took the best players in the state of Georgia and within a five-hour radius of our school, if they come to the University of Georgia, then we can win the SEC championship and compete for a national title. And I think you can be better than Florida, you can better than Texas, and you can be better than Southern Cal – if those players came to the University of Georgia. So that’s what excited me about coming here.” [...]

With Grantham running the D, the dawgs defense should explode next year. Florida’s way down without Tebow and Tennessee will have nothing. UGA should win the SEC east pretty easily and play bama for the SEC title. Grantham’s D should shut down the Tech offense with no problem. The DAWGS are back!

It’s comedy reading comments that seem to suggest UGA will have an advantage becuase Tebow left. Last I checked Tebow didn’t play one down of defense the past 2 years when UF dominated UGA on that side of the ball.
Yes UF loses 11 starters BUT UGA loses 8 themselves. Talent wise UF still has a pretty sizable advantage. Florida’s roster next year from Redshirt Sr’s to True Freshman will consist of recruiting classes that were ranked #2, #1, #3, #11 and #1. UF’s cumulative Average Star Rankings for those 5 classes is also considerably higher than UGA’s.
UF also has hands down a better head coach.
Last thing I found it hilarious that some dude was running off the statistics of Richt’s 9 years at UGA and trying to put them on the same level as Florida.
In those 9 seasons UF went:
10-2
8-5
8-5
7-5
9-3
13-1
9-4
13-1
13-1
UGA went:
8-4
13-1
11-3
10-2
10-4
9-4
11-2
8-5
Now if you really want to see the FACT UGA hasn’t been anywhere close to UF’s level for the last 9 years you should see that while yes UGA has a 13-1 year in 2002 UF had a 13-1 year 3 times, that UGA has NEVER gone to the SEC Championship without having to have to rely on another team to beat UF for them to get there and MOST OF ALL…..Richt is TWO and FREAKING SEVEN vs. Florida in that time. Game over…

Do any of you pathetic losers from a penal colony turned state HONESTLY think you will hold the series lead over Florida in 10 years? If so, it explains why you’re Jawja fans – you’re kiffin stupid! Hey, Mr. 5 Year Plan – you do realize that one of your two astounding victories this decade was against Ron Zook ON THE WEEK HE WAS FIRED, don’t you? Furthermore, do you realize that Botox Boy from Boca lost TWICE TO RON ZOOK? This is the rock you base your future on? Weak and sad, that’s what you are. What gimmick will the punkyard dogs try this season – black panties?
Cling to that series lead from the leather helmet days, little puppy dogs – it’s all you have going for you, and soon it will be gone like Herschel and Vince.
WE OWN YOU AND YOU KNOW IT!
