Sixth UGA coach reaches 500 career wins. Can you name the six?
Thought you might like to know . . .
Manuel Diaz, Georgia’s esteemed men’s tennis coach, got his 500th career coaching victory Sunday when the Bulldogs beat Vanderbilt 4-3 in Athens.
“It means I’m getting old, that’s about it,” Diaz was quoted in a UGA release.
UGA pointed out that Diaz became the sixth Georgia coach in any sport to reach 500 career victories. Can you name all six? Answer is a few paragraphs below.
In his 22nd season as the Bulldogs’ head coach, Diaz has a career record of 500-102 with four NCAA team championships, 13 NCAA “Final Four” appearances, 12 SEC regular-season championships and seven SEC tournament titles. His team is 12-2 this season (4-0 SEC).
Sunday’s victory, by the way, extended Georgia’s home-court winning streak in men’s tennis to 71 matches, dating to 2005. The streak –- five wins short of the school-record 76-match home winning streak that ended in 1972 –- will get a big test Friday, when defending national champion Southern Cal visits the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Between them, Georgia and USC have won the past three NCAA team championships.
OK, the six UGA coaches with 500 or more career victories:
Suzanne Yoculan (gymnastics) 836; Andy Landers (women’s basketball) 748; Dan Magill (men’s tennis) 706; Jeff Wallace (women’s tennis) 534; Steve Webber (baseball) 500; Manuel Diaz (men’s tennis) 500.

BuLLdawg, So what’s your point? Big time athletics has discipline problems with their players? That’s old news. By the way — it is an across the board problem that affects all schools. Tell us which school you pull for — and I’ll show you a rap sheet as long if not longer. The big difference is, Coach Richt disciplines his players. He doesn’t suspend a player for half a game after trying to gouge another player’s eyes out. Whoever you pull for must not do very well against Georgia — because your attempt to embarass the program with off the field issues is really childish. Poor decisons happen in the pros, it happens at the highschool level — do you not think it is going to happen at the college level? The coaches don’t send spies and baby sitters home with the players after practice every day. Human nature is, what it is. Get a life!

Dear “BuLLdawg” (?)
Observations: Firstly, You appear to have a lot of hate in your heart for all things Bulldog. Secondly, you are up at 4:35 am, spewing your hate over the internet.
Conclusion: You should really consider re-evaluating what is truly important in life. Go tell your family you love them and give them all hugs. Get a hobby to tie you over to football season. Then, please move back to Alabama.

Since Tech plays in a metropolitan area with multiple police forces, the AJC and others don’t bother to check regularly to see how many Tech players receive citations or get arrested. They simply let the Athens Banner Herald supply them with stories of sensationalism toward athletes. The AJC apparently pays no attention to the Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Knoxville, etc. newspapers like it does the Athens paper. Too much trouble and it keeps the “reporters” away from the pubs.
For someone like Bulldawg to compile this information, and maintain it, seems pretty vindictive and jealous. I would also question why he was up in the middle of the night like burgulars and bad women.
Now the most important observation – he obviously has a mental problem. No one in their right mind would keep such a record.
Enough said.

Have to wonder why the lack of confidence in one’s own(I would bet very recently chosen) school, when you have to trick other fans into giving you attention, rather than just taking personal pride. What is that, like 12 times this month posting that picture? The trophy doesnt speak for itself I suppose.
We could pretend to be gator fans and post the eye-gouge pictures to play along. That’s one that does speak for itself.

BuLLdawg, how come you take a name like that and then publicize all this mess? Truth is, either all the other schools have just as many infractions, or they have a special deal in town with the PoPo. Richt has no deals it would appear and so these arrogant players who think they can get away with stuff just because they can play football pretty well, can’t get away with it in Athens or on a team Richt coaches.

Wow, Bulldawg can copy and paste. I’m very impressed. At least, I hope that is what he did because he lives a pretty sad existence if he spent all that time working an excel spreadsheet and typing all that out. I guess some people are just miserable and have nothing else better to do. I mean, Florida has had 251 traffic citations since Urban got to Gainesville and nobody is putting all the names on a UGA blog. I don’t know if there is enough room on this blog to include all of the academically ineligible players that were in GT athletics back in 2000.

Georgia cornerback Paul Oliver
Oliver was one of only three returning starters on the Georgia defense, and he was considered a potential all-conference performer. The Bulldogs were left scrambling at cornerback after Oliver was declared academically ineligible. He was selected in the fourth round of June’s NFL supplemental draft.

AFDawg, have you and those running your WebPages for you been continuing to edit posts on your WebPages and re-posting them as if they were posted by the person whose name is left on the posts on your WebPages, materially changing the posts to suit only your view of what is to be presented ?
When you get through with all your excuses for that and get through with all your excuses for the 89 arrests / suspensions that we have suffered here at UGA in the Coach Richt Era, what you are left with is in year 10 now of the Coach Richt Era we have a very poor Offensive Coaching Staff still, are getting bad press every day across the nation, are 1-3 vs. Florida the last 4 years, 1-3 vs the vols the last 4 years and 10-10 vs just The SEC East with 14 losses the last 4 years while compiling 21 fumbles a year the last 4 years, 14 interceptions a year the last 4 years, averaging # 96 in the NCAA in penalties against us the last 4 years, have compiled a 3-8 record against the Top 10 Final AP Poll teams we have played in the 9 years of the Coach Richt Era and once again this season have no quarterback ready.
Everyone who is satisfied with that, is not a great Bulldog fan and everyone who is disappointed in the Decline of the UGA Football Program over the last 4 years, including losing to all 5 SEC East Opponents in a Row consecutively is not less a Bulldogs’ Fan.

BuLLdawg – Just guessing but I am looking at my crystal ball and I see – you have never played a down of football. You are 5′ 2″ – picked on in all school grades. Never was laid in High School (or any school). You hang on the computer and study stats so that you can talk to men who did play football in hopes that one day you might be but raped by them. Your sport of choice is ping pong and you shed tears every time you watch Broke Back (by yourself). Go to bed little boy and dream of Big Boys.

2002 George Foster OL raping FL player during game
“I can’t recall someone being raped during that game,odd.”
Where were you ? It was a horrible incident, one of the worst incidents in the history of Georgia – Florida.
Athens Banner Herald Nov. 6, 2002
George Foster confessed Wednesday that he wasn’t provoked into the personal foul that cost Georgia 15 yards and an easy field goal attempt against Florida last week. Foster was whistled for bouncing up and down (humping) on the Gators’ Bam Hardmon after an unsuccessful third down. On the next play, Billy Bennett barely missed a 50-yard field goal.
”To be honest I wasn’t provoked,” Foster said. ”I usually like to really finish a guy off once I get him on the ground. I like to pound him. It was a little much though. Plus, it was right in front of the official.
”You want to dominate your opponent every time you come in contact with them. I just got carried away that time.”
Foster had to run at 5:45 a.m. twice this week as punishment. He also felt a backlash from angry fans.
”It’s past me, it’s past the coaches and I know it’s past my teammates,” he said. ”You kind of wonder about the Georgia fans though. They’re fickle. I don’t think anybody else gets as much flak as we do.”
He said he did get one very supportive e-mail that boosted his spirit.
”I was really surprised to see that because most of the things you get from Georgia fans are negative,” he said.
Note that also is NOT from the AJ-C.
Coach Richt didn’t appreciate it, did he ?
“I don’t remember George Foster leg-humping jumping up and down on the Florida player in the 2002 game costing us a personal foul and giving them one of their 2 field goals they beat us by, when David Greene went 0-13 on 3rd down conversions.”
We got as much bad press from that play as we have any play. Where were you Taylor ?
