The buzz begins about A.J. Green, Clint Boling and the 2011 draft
- NFL mock drafts for 2011 are already out there, and two Georgia players figure prominently. Wide receiver A.J. Green, widely expected to enter the draft after his junior season, is a consensus top-10 pick, and offensive tackle Clint Boling, who’ll be a senior in the fall, isn’t far behind Green in some 2011 mocks. In fact, one site, nepatriotsdraft.com, has Green going No. 2 overall and Boling No. 5. As ESPN’s coverage of the 2010 draft wound down Saturday afternoon, Mel Kiper Jr. rated Green the No. 4 prospect for 2011. Another ESPN analyst, Todd McShay, rated Green the eighth best prospect for ‘11.
- Back to the 2010 draft: The SEC sent word that it had more players selected (49) than in any previous seven-round NFL draft. The Big Ten was second with 34 selections, followed by the ACC with 31, the Big 12 with 30 and the Pac-10 with 29. All 12 SEC schools had at least one player picked.
- SEC picks by school: Florida 9, Alabama 7, LSU 6, Tennessee 6, Georgia 5, Ole Miss 4, Kentucky 3, Auburn 2, Mississippi State 2, South Carolina 2, Vanderbilt 2, Arkansas 1.
- Within an hour of being drafted in the third round by Tennessee, former Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran naturally was asked by Nashville reporters about the concerns about his height. Curran had an answer ready: “As far as height goes, I don’t play barefoot,” he said. “When I put my cleats on and my helmet on, I am about 6-1 or 6-2. And I am not weak, either. I may be a little shorter, but I am not weak at all, by any means.”
- And former Georgia defensive tackle Geno Atkins, a fourth-round pick by the Bengals, was asked by Cincinnati reporters why his statistics fell off from his sophomore season (team-leading 14.5 tackles for loss, including 7.5 sacks) to his junior and senior seasons. “I guess the sophomore year was a pretty extraordinary year for me,” Atkins said. “I tried to do a little something my senior year, but I guess I didn’t really get to those numbers. . . . I don’t think there was anything different. It was just, like, sometimes you’re able to make a play and sometimes you’re not. That’s how the game works, really.”
- If you missed it, three undrafted Dogs quickly agreed to sign with NFL teams as free agents: wide receiver Michael Moore with Detroit, cornerback Prince Miller with Baltimore and safety Bryan Evans with Cincinnati.
- And if you missed this one, Mark Richt said Aaron Murray, the Dogs’ new No. 1 quarterback, reminds him of former Florida State QB (and Heisman Trophy runnerup) Casey Weldon. That story is here.

I was surprised by Bryan Evans getting a contract as well but he’s got some pretty good speed if I’m not mistaken. Maybe some some coaching from somebody not name Martinez can produce results.

The number of quality, NFL bound kids is one important component to a school’s desire to win big. It is not thr only key. Look at UT and UGA. Both had impressive draft numbers but both were 4th in the East.
Coaching and the fire in the belly are what create a BIG TIME record of achievement. Hopefully, UGA has with the NEW D coaches begun their ascent. They need to sugment hat with great players and their current squad is LOADED with NFL prospects. Fg kicker, punter, flankers and one running back, mayne all three tight ends and maybe 2 fullbacks and a bevy of O linemen and a couple of D linemen and a few linebackers and safeties are possible NFL draftees. See? UGA has a ton of big time athletes.
This is the beginning of another UGA run. Get ready.
Go Dogs.

John Kincade from 680thefan had a twitter feed last night that read along the lines of “only 1 scholarship QB on campus after this week”…he called it a “rumor”. Does that mean Gray is transferring, or just moving to WR?

Funny how we are talking about the 2011 draft already. Not too much to write about I suppose. As for the DAWGS this Fall, I hope we are ready to turn it around. I appreciate CMR and do not want to lose him, if for no other reason he helps these kids with real life lessons and truly cares about them, but I hope the fire in Coach Grantham will inspire him to get a little more fired up at times! Perhaps Grantham will serve a double purpose! GO DAWGS!

Poor poochies. Still upset that Tech had 14 players drafted or signed while you had a measly 2. Pathetic. I suspect you saw how Tech Nation was out in full force Saturday to watch our starters win 27-7 while only playing one half. You all know what that means for this Thanksgiving weekend. Yet another beat down between your hedges. We have our thrower of the ball returning while you are trying to play a 5′5 midget at your thrower of the ball position. Nezbit will win the Heisman contest. We have the greatest catching receiver in all the land in Stephen Hill. Most say he is the best prospect to come along since Randy Moss. We have the greatest coach and recruiter in the nation while you have fake ‘n back Coach Rick. I can sympathize with you poodles. I know how much it must hurt to be annually owned by your masters from Atlanta in everything.

Numbers don’t lie – the SEC again showed that the depth of the conference is it’s strength.
What makes the SEC special is that it’s mid-level teams would easily be top third in any conference – just a deep conference of good teams.
Going negative nancy on you – the numbers do not lie.
And Mark Richt’s numbers the last for years are below Donnans. I did not realize this until reading other peoples comments – but it is true – UGA is 10-10 the last four years in the SEC EAST – Donnan was 13-7.
If UGA wins only 7 or 8 games this year – this would mean the program has gone stale under his leadership – and him proving that he can win against the top SEC teams will be in doubt – unless we try to outast the other programs and wait for Saban and Urban to move on. Coaching attrition is not a strategy!
On a positive note – Richt made the necessary coaching changes on defense – and the team seems to be a new found focus.
However, if it more of the same – penalties, lack of take aways -plenty of turn overs, the guarentee of getting blown out at least a couple of times a year – it means that medicority has set in – and we will be with SC’s of the world – constantly looking up with the “let’s see what happens next year mentality.
I hope the 2010 season is a great success – and Richt has the program back on track of being an SEC Elite team – including beating Florida (1-3 last for years) Tennessee (1-3 the last four years) and beling on the same field as Alabama.
You guys may not want to hear this – but throughout history – UGA is NOT considered a nationally elite football program. We are considered a very good program that on occaision – rises to the top. This is what has happened under Richt – He started well – was on top for a few years – and now we are back to 7 and 8 win seasons – what our tradition actually is.
Florida has changed their tradition – starting with Spurrier – and when it became clear that Zook was an 8 win coach – they got rid of him fast – and found the best and hottest coach in the country. WHY??? – becasue this is what Florida’s expectation is and what they demand. Alabama the same.
What about UGA? is 8 or 9 wins a season good enough?

UT and UGA BOTH fourth in the east? How do you figure? Fl. was first. UT beat EVERYONE else in the east (including UGA). Thus that made UT 2nd in the east (sole posession).

You guys don’t get it about Donnan! He had NO CONTROL over the players. He did not require much out of them. I can’t believe 680 the Fan allows him to talk about UGA or other programs at all. He could recruit, but he had “0″ control! CMR is twice the man and leader he ever was or could be. If he was so good and in control, why hasn’t he had a coaching job since? Think about it.

Character is an issue with the NFL now, so he’s probably a 2nd round pick. Remember the unsportsmanlike penalty against LSU?

To see what we lost in talent 2 years ago makes me feel a little better about how we did this past year. We got hit pretty hard by early defectors to the NFL. I guess that’s what happens when you have great talent. We will be a much more solid team this year. I don’t know if we are going to win the SEC, but we will compete for it.

Dawgsincebirth – I respectfullly disagree.
We have TWO nationally recognized consensus National Titles – 1942 and 1980.
I travel all over the country with my job – and college football is a great source of conversation – whether I am talking about PAC-10, B12, B10 or in Florida.
What I can tell you is that UGA is nationally respected – but not on the same line as Alabama, Florida or even Tennessee. UGA is considered one of the better SEC teams – much like Auburn is….. again – respected and thought of in high regard.
However, the true historical national elites are the USC’s, Alabama’s, Texas’s of the world. Oklahoma and Ohio State fall into this group ……. and now does Florida – 20 years of dominating the SEC EAST and winning multiple NC’s will do that for you…. that and the incredible press coverage that Florida gets as they have earned it.
UGA has great tradition – but so do many other schools – including GT (4 consensus NT’s), etc.
Think about – we had Hershall – then we had Goff, Donnan, a few SEC titles under Richt where it looked like we were on a roll. – but now the SEC is all about ALABAMA and FLORIDA – with LSU trying to hang in there – then the rest. Fact is – UGA is so far from Florida in terms of talent and coaching – it makes me sick. Fact is – we beat SAban his first year at Alabama in overtime – then the next year – he had us down 31-0 at the half – did not take him long to put us in our place – as far as Alabama is concerned. Heck, Tennessee has struggled the last few years – and they have BLOWN us out on National TV 3 of the last 4 years. Florida has Blown us out 3 of the last 4 years – these games are not even close.
Richt had to make the defensive changes – and now he needs to be Hands on with the offense – because the excuses are over. It’a always – well we got a young QB, we got an inexperienced O-Line – we have had injuries. Well Screw that – all of these teams go through this – it’s called talent and depth of talent – having your guys prepared – and it starts with coaching.
Again – if you think UGA is considered a national elite in terms of history and recent times – I respectfully disagree.

All I can say about Cincinnati is obviously they were looking for someone to fill a very specific need on their roster — designated Touchdown giver upper. Is there any doubt Bryan Evans is the most prolific at that in Georgia football history? Evans is impressive in the weight room, on the track, in shorts, but in pads when the ball is snapped he has, without a doubt, the worst instincts of any DB I’ve ever seen, anywhere, any level of play. He is not a natural player, he has no flexibility in his hips, simply put he can run a straight line with the best of them, but couldn’t dodge a rolling Kroger shopping cart that crossed his path.

Looks to be an exciting year IF Aaron can execute and lead. Out of conference schedule looks relatively weak with La. Laugh, @ Colo, Idaho St and Tech. Prediction: 4 – 0 with plenty of PT for the reserves.
Conference will be tough as always. Big test will come early in Columbia. Win that one, and I’d expect the Dawgs to be 8 – 0 heading into Jax. Beat Florida and we’re playing Bama for the SEC!!
By the way, I guess you all heard Tech quit at the half of this year’s T-Day game because of the weather. Apparently PJ’s team can’t play in the rain. I also heard where a crowd of close to 400 showed up for the debacle. hehehehehe!!!

Dawgster, your 10:46 post was one of the most relevant and honest assesments of the UGA program that I have read from anybody with “Dawg” in their name in a long time. Yes, UGA is no doubt a nationally respected and known program. Everyone who knows ANYTHING about college football knows the name Hershel Walker. But that was 30 years ago when Georgia was a bright bright star and was considered among the best of the best. Nowadays, we refer to those kind of programs as “elite” and quite frankly, UGA’s star has faded. Don’t get me wrong, still a nationally recognized name brand, but when you say “elite” today, it more than likely invokes names like Texas, USC, Alabama, and Florida with an occasional LSU or Ohio State thrown in.

SEC FANATIC I would respectfully disagree with part of your post..while Bama has been a storied program for decades the last decade you would not even mention them with LSU if not for this years NC…for a decade they floundered amid probation and scandal and just bad teams..I would agree that during the 20 years between SEC championships UGA was not an elite class team ..I think they are now as is Bama. Indeed any team that has won a SEC championship in the past 7-8 years has to be considered elite just due to the SEC’s overall success against other non- SEC schools. Just my 2 cents.

thanks BuLLdawg for the updated numbers. The ones I was using was from ESPN of the week prior to the ALA game in 2008 when they compared Saban to Richt. Here is the link
.
So not lying just didnt properly extrapolate the numbers from then. Now go argue with the world wide leader in sports. Moron
http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/467/nick-saban-vs-mark-richt
UNDER Richt
Vs. SEC foes: 52-23
.
Vs. Top 25 foes: 29-18
.
Vs. Top 25 foes away from home: 18-12
.
Vs. Top 10 foes: 8-6
.
In postseason games (bowls and championships): 9-3
.
In games decided by a touchdown or less: 34-14
.
Record at home: 46-11
.
Record on the road: 42-6 (including bowl games)
.
Losses to unranked teams: 6
.
Top 25 finishes: 8
.
Top 10 finishes: 6
.
Fact:………UGA was 12-1 in 2002 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Fla was 12-1 in 2006 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Not UGAs fault there were 2 unbeatens that year. “unlucky”
.
Fact……….Not Flas credit that there was only one unbeaten in 2006. “Lucky”
.
Fact:………Luck (not merit) had more to do with Fla getting an invite to the BCS not that Fla was more deserving to go to a NC than UGA with identical records.
.
Fact:………No SEC team has ever lost a BCSNC game and if UGA would have been invited nothing indicates that it would have been different
.
Fact……….UGA has 2 SEC titles..same as Fla in last 9 years and equal amount of total wins (90) over all.
.
Fact……….UGA has been ranked more times top ten in last 9 years than any SEC team at 6. Fla has only been ranked top ten 3 times in 9 years (real impressive).
.
Fact……….In 9 years under Richt the only SEC team with more wins is LSU
Fact………..UGA has won 4 str8 bowls….more than any other SEC team.
.
Fact……..UGA has won 11 of last 13 bowls…Thats more than any team (tied with LSU and more than FLA)
.
Fact…… UGA has won 8 or more games in last 13 years…more than any other team in the nation including Fla.
.
Fact…….UGA is clearly as good or better than any SEC team over last 9 years. Only a fool or a fan of the mythical BCSNC selection process (non playoff) would think otherwise.
.
Fact…….UGA had same record when they won the SEC title in 2002 as Fla did in 2006/8 when they won the SEC title. But UGA had the misfortune (luck) to have that record in a year that had 2 other teams with undefeated records.
Hardly an indictment on UGA but rather on the NC selection process.
6 times finished in the top 10
2 times finished in the top 3
3 SEC Championship Appearances
2 SEC Titles
3 BCS Bowls
2 Sugar Bowl wins
90-27 record over 8 seasons – 79% winning percentage (one of only 7 in the history of college ball to have ever accomplished this)
4 str8 bowl wins
7-2 in bowls (big games)
Mark Richt coached QB coach for Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke = 2 Heismans; Head Coach for David Greene = all time winningest college QB until Colt McCoy this year); and coached Matthew Stafford = very rich #1 draft pick)

Georgia could have a decent 2011 draft but its hard to see Clint Boling going 5th overall and going in front of someone like Mark Ingram. Alabama will definitely have a great draft also. Mark Ingram, Julio Jones, Marcel Dareus, Donta Hightower all look to be 1st round picks and all american safety Mark Barron will also be 1st round or high second round. The scary thing is that all 5 of Alabama’s potential 1st round picks are only juniors this year.

And “how2fish”, Bama has earned it’s elite status not only from this years success but also it’s cumulative history and over the last 20 years they have a couple of NCs and numerous SECCG appearances, mostly, if not all against Florida. Those two programs undoubtedly rule the top conference in college football today….

There are only a few “elite” programs in the country right now.

Richt is definitely a top tier coach. Your premise is very vague. There is definitely more into hiring a coach than wins and losses, even though Richt has no problem in that category either, but really, there are few programs that would give a definite no, with zero hesitation, to Richt if his name came up. 3-5 out of 120 programs ain’t too bad.

My point was once “elite” doesn’t mean your are always ‘elite” and there is nothing to stop a team that has lost its “elite” status from once again regaining that status as Bama has done recently.But no one not a Bama fan equated Bama with a “elite” program in 06…did they?

Agree with SEC FANATIC – only time when UGA is considered ELITE – it is when you are talking to fellow Dog fans.
How2Fish – I guess West Virginia is an ELITE football power:
Since 2003 – they have won 4 BE Conference Titles
Since 2005 – they have been to 2 BCS Bowls
– Beating UGA in 2005 Sugar
– Beating OKLAHOMA in the 2007 Fiesta
See my point – we can argue all day – IMO – West Virginia is not ELITE – but has been very good – despite falling to back to back 9-4 seasons of late.
When you talk about the ELITE programs – ALABAMA, TEXAS, OHIO STATE, USC – even NEBRASKA carries more weight than UGA. This is not being disrespectful to UGA – it that historically – these schools have competed for more NC’s. FLORIDA has been so strong the last 20 years – they are now in the psyche of most people in ELITES. Not LSU – who was strong for several years – and ELITE for a year or two.
Would you consider AUBURN among the ELITE of college football?
They have 2 recognized NC’s
They have won 3 SEC West Div Titles (UGA has 3 SEC East DIV titles)
They have a winning head to head to head against UGA!!!
I guess Auburn is an ELITE as well!!!
IMO – Auburn is very respectable – no games are east against this school – but they are not in the class of an ALABAMA, USC, TEXAS, etc.

All you Georgia fans out there who are bashing Bryan Evans ought to be ashamed of yourselves. He played his heart out for the Dawgs! Bryan didn’t lose games; the team lost games. Did he get beat deep or mess up in coverage every now and then? Of course he did, but he made some spectacular plays as well. And, let’s be honest, there isn’t a single collegiate or NFL defensive back for that matter that plays a perfect game each week. Bryan will do very well in the NFL; he’s got a high motor, can hit like crazy, and has great speed. The Bengals won’t regret signing him and he’ll most definitely make the team.
I don’t get you people out there that call yourselves Bulldog fans. For that matter, I don’t get any fan that feels a need to rip on a collegiate athlete. It’s COLLEGE for god’s sake! Some of you people that blog on this website are absolute morons, have zero class, and don’t have any respect for another human being.
As for you Mr. Evans, I for one enjoyed watching you play and I’ll never forget that shot you put on Dez Bryant in Stillwater…hell of a hit!!!

SEC Fanatic,
That is true. If you travel to other parts of the country people do recognize Alabama and Florida as elite names. Florida is recognized out of pure dominance. 3 national titles since the 90s and 7 sec titles and 10 appearances says it all. Florida is also the nation’s winningest program since the 90s.
Alabama. Well the name kind of says it all. The most sec titles 22, tied with ND for the most legitimate national titles at 8 each, the most bowl victories and appearances, blah, blah, blah. And 2 national titles since the 90s and the 2nd most appearances behind Florida in the seccg with 7.
Bama also has a rich history not just in bowls but in playing big time regular season home and homes with big time programs like USC, OU, Nebraska, ND, Penn State, etc. It was all these big time intersectional games that Bama started playing decades ago that separated the Alabama legacy from everyone else in the sec. People in those hotbeds of college football remember those clashes. Had Georgia or anyone else had the vision decades ago to realize what kind of national exposure this brings to a program as Bear Bryant did then perhaps those programs would be mentioned in the same reverance as Alabama.
What it comes down to is this: Florida is nationally recognized as “elite” because of its dominance since 1990 as college football’s winningest program. Bama is recognized as “elite” because of its recent rise back to dominance, 2 ncs since 90, its tradition which is easily the best in the south, and its status as the winningest college football program of the last 100 years. One is the most winningest program of the last 20 years and the other is the winningest of the last 100. That is why they are “elite”.
I’ve nothing against Georgia or the dog fans but the fact of the matter is that Georgia is simply not mentioned in the same “elite” statsus as Alabama or Florida. I know that dog fans will ask where was Alabama in the early 2000s? Doesn’t matter. One bad 5 or 7 year stretch in the early 2000s doesn’t diminish a century’s worth of accomplishments, particularly when every program out there has had a stretch of anywhere from 5, 10 or in Georga’s case-20 years of being irrelevant.
In Florida’s case you can argue that the gators were irrelevant for much of their football history prior to 1990. This is true. But Florida’s dominance over the last 20 years of the best conference in football is what put them into “elite” status. Not elite in terms of tradition such as Alabama or even Georgia which has a fine tradition itself. But certainly elite in terms of on the field success.

Patrick,
Elite does not constitute success or lack of success over a very short time frame such as 5,7, or 10 years. Texas and OU disappeared from the college football scene from the late 80s throughout the 90s. But they were always elite programs because of who they were and because of their overall success.
Anybody can pick a point in time as you often do with the Richt era and claim elite or non elite status. Just as you can make a case for elite status for Georgia based on a 9 year time frame others can make a case for non elite status for Georgia based on the last 4 years. 10-10 in the sec east over the last 4 years is not “elite”.
Only 2 sec titles in the past 28 years is certainly not elite. And if you really want to be “elite” in the last 10 or 20 years you really need to be able to claim a minimum of at least 1 national championship.
You can throw out all the nice stats you want about Richt having a good program in the 2000s. He has certainly had a good program. No argument here. Good but certainly not elite.
The lack of a national title in the last 10,20, 30 years means you are not “elite”. And there is no way around that argument. “Elite” sports teams win championships. Plain and simple. The Georgia girls gymnastics team is ‘elite’, the UGA golf team is “elite”, the NY yankees, LA lakers, Brazilian national soccer team, those are sports teams that are “elite”. Not the UGA football team. Do you get it now?

Patrick,
Florida may never have had an undefeated season but it doesn’t change the fact that they are the winningest program in the country over the last 20 and probably 25 years. Certainly since 1990. The 3 national titles in 14 years also confers elite status.
How can you yourself call yourself elite if you’ve lost 17 out of 20 to one program? As I said anyone can go through a bad 5,7, or even 10 year stretch. But a 20 year stretch of futility against 1 team?

HungryDawg, My team?? My team is a team that if they needed to hire a new coach today, I wouldn’t want it to ultimately be Richt. The coaches out of Boise or Utah would I think have more promise for future championships. I just see too much talent that goes to UGA that doesn’t translate into champioships. To have a #1 NFL pick in Stafford and the best running back in college ball that year in Moreno and not even being in the conference championship game with at least a shot to get to the NC! That, my friend, is classic underachievement.

I could use any set of stats like patrick does and support virtually any side of any arguement. Heck, used to do that all the time in college. For instance, I could use a set of statistics that would be a “factual’ arguement that the Stimulus Plan is working and a totally different set that it is an abject failure and not use ONE incorrect number or figure. Don’t kid yourself, statistics DO lie. Or should I say that the people who manipulate them do. Politicians do it every day.

Are you lucky that you didn’t get hit by a car today. Or are you extra vigilant and do the little things when you are crossing a busy street. Most of the time, it’s not about luck at all. Was Pete Carroll just lucky at USC? Was Urban Meyer just lucky at Bowling Green, Utah and now at Florida? Saban at Michigan State, LSU or Bama? Has Mark Richt just been unlucky at Georgia for 9 years? I’m not buying it. Yes, you can get lucky or unlucky at times of your life. But the cream always rises to the top.

Funny on the subject of luck, I used to have a regional manager that used to ask a specific question if he was trying to decide between two equally qualified sales or promotional candidates. He would always ask them if they considered themselves a “lucky” or an “unlucky” person? That didn’t sound like a very specific defining or even professional question to me for a very high level manager at Burroughs Corp to be basing that kind of decision on, but it was his contention that if a person considered themselves “lucky” that they usually were and had more success and if they didn’t, they in fact were “unlucky” and less successful and had a built-in excuse. And by golly to my amazement, if the guy wasn’t almost 100% right!

Terrist:
Mispronounced form of Terrorist. Listen to George W. Bush speak, and you’ll hear him say it.
“We must be strong and viligant, and unite ourselves against these terrists.”
Don’t know whether the UD folks or W did the “viligant” misspelling or mispronunciation. The “Terrist” thing is pretty funny. Like Jimmy Carter and “nuculer” instead of “nuclear.”

For James Tiberius Kirk, whose schizophrenia is showing…..
…I must admit, you have a real gift for hyperbole. Nesbitt will win the Heisman when I do–and I’m almost 50. Fact is, Nesbitt will not even be a first round draft pick, certainly not at QB. He may be a fourth rounder as a defensive back. Or he might transfer to Georgia, where he could be Aaron Murray’s backup. Then at least he could say he was the backup to a Heisman trophy QB–if Nesbitt could even get into Georgia, that is, which isn’t entirely certain. We don’t have Recreational Pot Smoking as a major (wasn’t that Reuben Houston’s course of study? Or was that Joe Hamilton–no, wait, Calvin Johnson!), so that could be an impediment to credit transfer to the state’s capstone institution.
Stephen Hill hasn’t quite recovered from the hit he took in the Georgia game last season. His ears are still ringing, he pees blood from time to time, and he’ll probably cringe when dogs bark for the rest of his life. I suspect, however, that he will be able to catch at least one pass on fourth down at some point this coming year–which is more than BeBe Thomas could do on that bonehead call from your “genius” head football coach in the Georgia game. Thomas was certainly big in the clutch in that game–kinda like the Tech defense. I think you guys could have slowed our running game better with wadded up tissue paper. At least that would have stuck to Ealey’s and King’s shoes and slowed them down a little bit. The Jacket D didn’t impede their progress at all. Heck, my son tackled Washaun when he was a senior in high school more times than the entire Tech defense did collectively last year.
And the incredible football genius you hired as DC? You mean the guy whose corpse they had to re-animate in order to get him to sign his contract? Sorry, but I’ll take a Todd Grantham over Al Groh any day of the week. Groh has to take a pill just to remember to take his Alzheimer’s medicine every day. I’m sure that he will be out there firing up his players, getting them motivated between bouts of angina (just as they are all “firing up” other things, in the true Georgia Tech weed tradition).
Ah, I gave you too much credit. My gift for hyperbole is much better than yours–and personally, I think that Spock would have kicked your a$$. Heck, the tribbles dang near did that, and they were just glorified earmuffs.
Get back on your ship, captain. There’s a Vulcan woman waiting in a hot tub somewhere in the twilight recesses of your dreams. We’ve got a little football to play here on earth, and your delusions are getting in the way of reality.

The GA-FL game is obviously always huge.

Tebow is gone.
.
Mullen and Strong are gone.
.
A ton of talent has left early.
.
Both teams are fairly young, starting untested QBs, and integrating important new pieces to the coaching staff.
.
Win and the GA faithful will, even if it’s part of a 7-8 win season, feel as if the program is moving in the right direction and capable of recapturing or exceeding Richt’s best work to date.
.
Lose and it will, even if part of a 9-10 win season, feel as if the “next level”, as achieved by LSU, UF, and AL in the last decade, will always be just beyond our reach.

.
All NCs are opinion based and therefore not even recognized by the NCAA. Those AP NCs you claim are lised as :National POLL championships” not “National Championships” in the NCAA data base. I hope you are bright enuff to se the difference.
.
So if you base your NC on an opinion poll you are obligated to list ALL recognized opinion polls in your equation. Not just the ones you pick and chose to support an argument. Now the Nationalchamps.net does it quite succinctly for you.
.
so of RECOGNIZED poll champions UGA (according to nationalchamps.net) has 6.

below are the years and records. Sorry this does not support you but thats life.

.
As of the 2005 season the University of Georgia (UGA) football program has won five national championships, played in eighteen different bowl games (more than any other program in the country), won eleven Southeastern Conference (SEC) titles, and produced two Heisman Trophy winners. (Its now 12 SEC titles)
.
In 1927 Georgia started the season 9-0 before losing in Athens to the Georgia Institute of Technology, UGA’s archrival. Despite the loss, the Bulldogs were voted national champions in two recognized polls.

The 1942 squad, led by Heisman Trophy–winner Sinkwich and all-American end George Poschner, is heralded as the best in the first half-century of Georgia football. The team won eleven games and defeated the University of California at Los Angeles in the Rose Bowl to win the national title.

After several players from that team left school to serve in World War II (1941-45), many of them, including halfback Charley Trippi, returned in 1946 to win another national championship. UGA finished the season with a perfect record and beat the University of North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl.

The 1968 Bulldogs went 8-0-2 in the regular season and again went to the Sugar Bowl. Despite losing the bowl game to the University of Arkansas, Georgia was still voted number one in the final Litkenhous poll.

cont…….
.
The 1980 UGA team is considered the most dominant in school history despite having been largely ignored in the preseason polls. Led by freshman sensation Herschel Walker, the Bulldogs went undefeated and beat Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Virtually every poll ranked the Bulldogs first at the end of the season, and UGA won its first UNDISPUTED national championship among the major polls.
.
NOTICE ALL OF THEM ARE POLL CHAMPIONSHIPS. Not National championships. There has NEVER been a National champion in D1A football. All are either poll champions or BCS champions. None are listed by the NCAA as National champions.

That’s why going undefeated is no small accomplishment, especially when you go out and play the tough teams, OK St 2 years in a row, even the non-conference games are tough: GT & Arizona St; and you don’t pad your schedule with FL International, Troy, Charleston Southern, and not play the D-IA schools in your own state, Miami, USF,UCF.
Point being Coach Richt plays the tough games and doesn’t shy away from them, he wants to test his team, and not be content to ride wins against sub-par teams to national prominence like USC or Fla.

Nick Saban went 6-5, 6-6, 6-6, 7-5 at Mich St.
He went 8-5 at LSU 2x
He went 7-6 at Alabama.
Saban has gone 5-3 or worse in conference 8 times.
Richt has only gone 5-3 or worse in conference 3 times in his first 9 years.
Compare that to Saban’s record and consistency in his 1st 9 years.
Richt has NEVER had a 7-6 or 6-6 season, Saban’s done it 5 times, including once at Alabama.
Just win...

All UGA has to do is win the games they need to, beat LSU, Bama, Fl, TN, Auburn, SC, Ky, Vandy, etc. and then dominate the sleeper teams on the schedule. It seems that the DAWGS just let it slip it away somehow every year. In the 11-2 2007 season they loose to Tn & SC and didn’t win their conference, in 2005 won the SEC and then loose to WVU, in 2008 loose to Bama, Fl, & Tech this after entering the season ranked #1. In addition, allowing some undermanned team(s) to hang around and making some games closer than they should. Can’t win your own conference, can’t dominate teams, self inflicted wounds (penalties and such) keeping lesser teams in a game, just doesn’t cut it when trying to win a NC. Let’s hope there is a new swagger with this team the next few years, and maybe the DAWGS will get to the promised land.

Boling’s a stud at OT & should be the 1st OL drafted. I expect Ben Jones to be drafted 1st round too (when he leaves UGA).

Glang, Caleb King leaving early? Really? Heck no! What are you seeing that I’m not? I like Caleb, but he’s injury prone. He’s a good RB, but he don’t even come to Knowshon, for example. Ealey is the better RB of the two… physical, runs low and does give YAC. Caleb is a space runner. ‘ll give him one thing though, his blocking has improved tremendously. Good kid and I hope he goes thru the whole season injury free. But, hes better off playing out his eligibilities.
Sic’em!

Hey Tuck Fech, I just heard the jackets baseball team just scored another run on you guys. I think it’s now 247 to 10. Looking forward to kicking your ass again tomorrow night at Turner Field and sweeping that pathetic baseball team – your littly puppy football team is all you rednecks have to get excited about so I understand. But it was a good weekend, saw where the GT women’s tennis team won the ACC championship by knocking off the number 1 team in the country UNC. And GT also won the men’s ACC golf Championship again this year by 13 strokes. And then the women’s softball team won the ACC regular season by knocking of FSU. I didn’t read about any UGA athletes getting arrested for DUI so it was a great weekend for UGA also – congratulations!

AJ Green versus Julio Jones? Last time I checked Julio was on a national championship team. AJ will always play second fiddle to Julion, Calvin and Demarius. Gonna be fun watching AJ catch those Freshman passes across the middle – can’t wait till a LB from the gators and/or GT knock his head off – but I forgot, he doesn’t run patterns across the middle like a real NFL receiver, only down the sidelines like high school.

Patrick, are you seriously comparing Saban and Richt? Really? Last time I checked Saban had at least 2 national championships to Richt’s 0.

Saban also has 3 sec titles in 8 years and 4 appearances while Richt has 2 sec titles in 9 years and only 3 appearances. Saban wins again. Saban also took over 2 programs in the crapper. Richt inherited a program that was full of talent and had gone 8-3 for 4 straight years.

benchwarmer can you really be that dumb..CMR averages 10 wins a year that would seem to be an upgrade from 8-3 for most thinking people.

Ok folks, here are the elite programs from the last 20 years:
1) Oklahoma
Michigan
2) Texas
3) USC
4) Florida
5) Florida State
6) Miami
7) Ohio State
9) Alabama
10) Nebraska
That’s it. I love my Dawgs, but each of those teams are the ones that every kid in the nation who plays football thinks of first for a school they want to go to. It’s the place where you get noticed to get the big bucks in the NFL.
We CAN be considered in that same area if we start to win 10 games again on a consistent basis and win at least one national title. But so many things have to fall the right way in a year, and I don’t see us having the team quite yet to do that.

JAMES T KIRK… Most outstanding post my fellow Techster. I did not know we had a what you call a football team? I thought we only had chess team and leap frog game near the varsity on Saturday. This country is wonderful. I tell all my cousins to come to Tech and get degree. May I interest you in a kevlar pocket protector? I will be in front the old gym this afternoon displaying my new invention to all my comrades. Crime is terrible, protect and deflect my friend.
