Might Mettenberger play against the Dogs in Sanford Stadium next year? (UPDATED)

ugaaccountant,

Son. You asked for it.

Both Alabama and Georgia have played Clemson in the 2000s and as for GT which sucked for most of the 2000s Georgia has to play them anyway as a state rival.

So lets take a respective look at the 3 remaining teams that Georgia has played OOC in the 2000s vs the teams Bama has played OOC in the 2000s.

Okay State, Arizona State, Colorado and Boise for Georgia vs Penn State, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, FSU,and UCLA for Alabama. Lets see

Colorado- 3-9 last year, in the years preceding that they were 5-7,6-7, and 2-10. Their last winning season was 7-6 in 2005. Are you serious?

ASU- 4-8 and 5-7 the last 2 years. Only 1 10 win season in the 2000s. Are you kidding me?

Okay state- Back to back 9-4 records which is respectable. Overall though this team has never won their division, hasn’t had a 10 win season since the 80s, and didn’t finish top 25 last year. Got blown out by Ole Miss in their bowl game. Apparently Ole Miss didn’t think much of them. Neither do I.

Boise state- Good team although we’ll never know just how good since they play in the WAC. Georgia walloped them in 2005 which incidentally is Boise’s only bad season in the last several years. They finished 9-4 playing in the wac. Which means besides the Georgia loss that Boise lost 3 games in the freaking WAC that year. Just how good is a team that loses 3 WAC games??? Overall a good team but that year they certainly sucked if they lost 3 WAC games.

Now lets look at Bama’s OOC opponents in the 2000s.

Penn State- Nation’s 9th winningest program overall. Back to back 11-2 seasons in 2008 and 2009. Preceding that were a pair of 9 win seasons and an 11-2 season again in 2005. 3 11 win seasons in the past 5 years. I’m impressed.

Virginia Tech- Finished top 10 last year and won back to back ACC championships the previous 2 years. 6 consecutive 10 win seasons including 2 11 win seasons. Only Texas has also won 10 or more games 6 years in a row. Without question the dominant ACC power over the last 5-6 years with several conference championships. Once again I’m impressed.

Oklahoma- The name speaks for itself. Bama played them back to back in 2002 and 2003. In those years OU was no. 1 when Bama played them in 2002 and probably ranked in top 5 when they played again in 2003 because OU finished 12-2 in both seasons that Bama played them including a berth in the bcs title game in 2003 vs LSU OU had 8 seasons of 11 wins or more in the 2000s including 4 12 win seasons and a 13 win season and national title in 2000.

UCLA and FSU- Both were declining powers when Bama played them FSU in 2007 and UCLA in 2000 and 2001. Still big historical names though and certainly bigger all time names than Colorado, Arizona State or Okay state.

ugaaccountant-

please don’t disrespect yourself by further trying to claim that losing programs like Colorado, Arizona State, and a below average program like Okay State are in any way comparable to playing perennial powerhouses like Oklahoma, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. Please don’t go there and further embarrass yourself and dawg fans everywhere. One more note. I thought accountants were supposed to be good with numbers. Apparently not. Well, not Georgia accountants anyway.

Let’s try that one again.

San Francisco Dawg – Jacksonville State took Ryan Perrilloux. They did suspend him for the opening game in 2009 for violating team rules, a continuation of his problems at LSU.

Mettenberger could transfer to any FCS school and play immediately, assuming his 1-year probation allows him to leave the state.

RTR (imposter),

Louisiana-Lafayette is quite a tough opponent for the dawgs this year also. At least they will be tougher than double AA opponent Idaho State which has won 1 game in each of the last 2 years. And then of course there is Colorado which as I pointed out was 3-9 last year and hasn’t had a winning season since 2005 when they went 7-6. Get back to me when you play a national power like Penn State which went 11-2 the last 2 years and 3 of the last 5 years. Idiot.

Hey ugaaccountant,

I got an even better idea. Since I just schooled you on the quality of opponents that we played OOC in the 2000s maybe you can school me on Georgia’s stellar out of conference opponents from 1965 through 1999. I heard a rumor that the last time Georgia traveled outside the immediate southeastern US to play a bcs conference school type opponent was 1965. I’m that was just a lie though. In the meantime here is a list of big time bcs type opponents Bama played from the 70s throughout the 90s. Please counter with your list. Here’s mine:

Home and homes with Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State, USC(the real USC), Ohio State 1 game, Miami one game, BYU,Missouri, Texas A& M back when they were good,Boston College w Doug Flutie, Washington when they were a power under Don James, NC State.

Get back to me on that because I’m certain that its a dirty stinking lie that the dawgs were scared to play big time opponents from outside the immediate southeast for 45 years.

Actually I’ll help you out with your list. UCLA came to Sanford stadium in 1985. Georgia was supposed to make a return trip the next year to UCLA. Know what happened? Georgia wiggled out of it and never made the trip. Freaking cowards!

Realist dawg fan you make a good point..but here is my sticking point I don’t speak in this case for the Bulldog nation just me…and I only said we would beat Bama like rented mules IF we meet them for the SEC championship this year. A lot would have to go well for UGA for this to happen but if it does I think we would. I’m not convinced frankly that Bama wins the West anymore than I convinced we win the East..UF will be a tough nut as always..but I only speak in this case for me not the Bulldog nation..and really the haters will call nuts no matter what we say.

Bama fan-

You are the idiot! Lets break it down shall we?

Last year: Bama played Va Tech (no home and home in the Dome), Florida International, North Texas, and UT- Chattanooga. Impressive!

UGA: @ Oklahoma St. (notice the @) who were a top ten team with Dez -side note, it doesn’t matter the overall prestigue of a program, its what they have done recently-, Arizona St, Tennessee Tech, and Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech beat Va Tech and won the ACC, last year UGA played a tougher non conference schedule than Bama, playing Oklahoma years ago is irrelavent currently.

This upcoming year, you play Penn St AND San Jose St, Georgia State (first year team), and @ Duke (nice to return that favor).

We play @ Colorado who is improving under Hawkins, Louisiana La., Idaho St, and Georgia Tech.

I would say these opponents, combined, are about even in strength.

Now lets see the opponents we have lined up in the future:

Bama in 2011 & 2012: @ Penn ST, @ Tulane, and Western Kentucky are the only ones I could find that you have scheduled.

UGA in 2011 & 2012: Louisville (new staff, Strong) home and home, Coastal Carolina, New Mexico St, Georgia Tech always home and home, these are all I can find for UGA, we have a few games left to schedule.

Also in 2013-2016 we have scheduled home and home games with Clemson and Oregon.

How2fish,

As Bobby Bowden will tell you some vacated wins doesn’t change the results of on the field buttkickings. And since you asked let me help you out with the math. Even with vacated wins Bama still has quite a few more wins than Georgia and that sir is called a FACT.You have now been enlightened but now allow me to enlighten you even further. In NCAA major infractions cases UGA and AU are tied with about 5 other teams for 3rd most major infractions cases with 6 each. Bama has had 4 cases, all coming since the 90s. Well, it looks like you’ve been enlightened yet again as to a FACT which is that you do lead us in something after all don’t you?

How2fish makes an excellent point. If UGA/Bama played today I don’t think there is any doubt what would happen, but IF UGA could get to the SECCG, they would obviously be as quailified as anyone.

Also, it is a waste of time to temper any Dawg talk, because our blogs are so over-run with rivals anymore that any Dawg fan postings short of absolute ridicule of anything and everything Georgia (and some do) will be argued with.

RTR,

As for the pansies on our schedule are you just stupid? Everyone plays 2-3 cream puffs every single year and UGA is no exception this year with Idaho State, La-Lafayette, and a pathetically horrible Colorado. team.

UGA @ OK state. Where did Ok state finish? Top 25. Uh, no. I don’t think so. Their preseason ranking was about as worthless as your preseason 2008 ranking of no.1 you dolt.

GT beats VT one stinking year and that is the whole freaking basis of your argument? You can’t be serious. Forget about consistency and VT winning 10 or more games 6 years in a row. I reckon that means nothing.

Your idiot friend mentioned teams that UGA played years ago such as Boise. Playing OU is just as relevant using his criteria.

Colorado is improving under Hawkins??????? Oh my dear God. You did not just say that. Please tell me you’re not that damn stupid. They’ve gotten progressively worse going from 6 wins to 5 wins to 3-9 last year. Just how damn dumb are you? They want to fire Hawkins in Colorado but can’t do it for the sole reason that they can’t afford the buyout. Good God you are stupid. That one will have to go down as the blithering idiot of the day comment.

Coastal Carolina is on your schedule? Isn’t that the team you guys were constantly ragging Florida over scheduling????? Why yes. Bingo. It is!!!!!! Fact of the matter is that if you go back and look at UGAs schedules you will see the same new mexico states and Idahos every year. Everyone plays them dude.

Get back to me later on that rapidly improving Colorado team that hasn’t had a winning season since 2005. Man are you funny!

First of all we are not on scholarship probation. Might want to check your facts there buddy. We lose no schollies we just had to vacate some wins. No big deal. Also, major infractions cases are major infractions cases. The idea that Bama’s are worse is just your opinion. The bottom line is that according to the ncaa UGA and AU have had 6 major infractions cases brought against them. Bama 4. It is what it is. Those are the FACTS. Deal with it.

Hey genious Bama fan.

Va Tech won 10 games blah blah. ITS ABOUT THE CURRENT SEASON YOU IDIOT! Who was better last year, GT or VT are you that dumb to realize Gt won on the field?

I SAID OSU WITH DEZ WAS A TOP TEN TEAM, he got kicked off after we played them, try to pay attension.

We rag UF for playing Chareslton Southern btw

PLEASE tell me where I said UGA always has tougher opponents than Bama, I would love to know. Pay attention

Colorado is improving by their players discipline, they have upped their graduation rates and etc which is hard to do after some of the scandels they had previously which hindered their program. This season will tell if they did on the field, remember this is about THIS SEASON.

Get back to me when you do not have to put words in my mouth or when you do not have to fall back on past accomplishments of VT….

Hey BAMMER…. Here is the 2008 strength of sched. Guess what???
25. BYU – Has zero preseason ranked teams on its schedule.

24. Fresno St. – Wisconsin and UCLA provide only “tests.”

23. Wake Forest – Rough patch of Clemson, Maryland, Miami all in a row.

22. Texas Tech – This could get tougher if Nebraska and Texas A&M shape up.

21. Missouri – Shocked to see this come in so low, but no Oklahoma unless they meet in the B12 CG.

20. Oklahoma – Texas and Kansas back to back. Texas Tech late. Not much else. See above.

19. Pitt – Skewed by so many average bowl teams from last year. Notre Dame and Cincy are wild cards.

18. Arizona St. – Georgia, at Cal, at USC, UCLA, and at Arizona. Don’t be shocked if three of those are losses.

17. Illinois – Missouri early, Ohio State late, and a lot of solid comp in the middle. Oh, and a Rose Bowlseye on your back.

16. Oregon – Seven straight before an open date. Boise St., and games at USC, ASU, Cal, and Oregon St. 2007 was probably your year.

15. USF – Kansas, Pitt, and WVU should be huge. Four more ‘07 bowl teams.

14. Clemson – Open with Alabama. Close with South Carolina. Solid ACC center with late date in Tallahassee, plus championship game.

13. Wisconsin – Strange one at Fresno St. Then at Mich, OSU, Penn St., at Iowa, and Illinois. In order. Athletic director deserves a cheese basket.

12. USC – At Virginia, OSU two weeks later, and a back-to-back with Oregon and ASU. Cal, Notre Dame (?), and Neu-C-L-A. Somehow 11 more are tougher.

11. LSU – Creampuff start, brutal from there. At Auburn, Florida, South Carolina, and Arky. Home games against Georgia and Alabama. Two losses won’t cut it this year.

10. OSU – Trip to LA early to most likely make/break the season. At Wiscy and Illinois. Home dates with Penn St. and the Michigan Wolveneers.

9. West Virginia – At Colorado on a Thursday Night. Does any road team like a Thursday night game? Auburn at home, with Louisville, Pitt, and South Florida to finish.

8. Florida – Hawaii and Miami early in the typical ‘tuneup’ games. At Tennessee and Arkansas. LSU and SC at home. Against Georgia, in Jacksonville, for control of the universe. Finish up at FSU and an SEC CG birth, or look at the season as a failure. Sounds like fun.

7. Kansas – At South Florida early. Every powerhouse B12 team imaginable. A hopeful championship game berth to prove last season wasn’t a fluke? Not likely. Pop in your March Madness DVD if things start going south.

6. Florida St. – Biggest shocker to see their schedule this high. Though after eating a few cupcakes while the suspended players rest, it becomes a who’s who of 2007 bowl teams with some big names sprinkled in. Miami will improve. VT is always a problem. Clemson feels it’s their year. So does Florida. Plus a championship game if you make it through all of that. Dadgummit.

5. Tennessee – The pendulum will likely swing the other way this year for Phil and Co. Squeaking out game after game in ‘07, this year brings a trip to UCLA, Florida early, at Auburn, at Georgia, who might be looking for some revenge, and late tilts with Alabama and South Carolina.

4. Texas – Arkansas early. A Colorado team that has to improve. All of the big boys in OU, Missouri, Kansas, TTech, A&M, plus a death match against one of them all over again if they want to play in the Orange Bowl.

3. Auburn – Southern Miss, LSU, Tennessee, and a Thursday night trip to West Virginia to chase Noel Devine around the field. Georgia three weeks later. Take a breath. Go to Alabama. Leave no one behind.

2. Alabama – Clemson to open things up in Atlanta. The worst road schedule I’ve seen requiring trips to Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and LSU. Auburn at home for dessert. This is not the kind of schedule you want your young kids hanging their title hopes on. Figure things out this year. Kick the door down in ‘09

1. Georgia – Far and away the most difficult schedule on paper in 2008. The only team to play six ranked opponents (per Lindy’s), with two separate sets of back-to-back meetings with ranked teams. Fly to Arizona St. Bama a week later. Fly to LSU. Florida a week later. Mix in some Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn, and Georgia Tech for additional flavor. Dawg fans had better hope Mark Richt has three or four new pre-game stunts up his sleeve

RTR,

Still sticking by your Colorado is improving statement huh? Just can’t come to admit that the CU program has gotten worse. I’m sorry. I thought we were talking football and not graduation rates. I thought when you said they were improving that you meant their football team is getting better as a football team which as I’ve demonstrated quite the opposite is true.

If you want to stick to the current year then so be it. We had a pretty good year this past year wouldn’t you say? As for 2010 scheduling I don’t see a Penn State on your schedule. I see GT which has had one good season in 10 years and a double AA Idaho state team, LA-Lafayette.

Since we are talking about the current year 14-0 and bcs national champions. Nuff said! And if you want to talk about this past year’s schedule we played and beat 10 bowl teams which has never been done in history. 10 teams we beat with winning records and bowl appearances. We also beat #1 Florida, #2 Texas, # 10 VT, we beat LSU when they were ranked in the top 10, and we beat ARK and S. Carolina which were also ranked. What top 10 teams did you beat and did you also play 10 bowl teams? let me know about those 10 bowl teams?

Now…shut your pie hole

14. Georgia
Georgia schedule
Date Opponent
Sept. 1 Oklahoma State
Sept. 8 South Carolina
Sept. 15 Western Carolina
Sept. 22 at Alabama
Sept. 29 Ole Miss
Oct. 6 at Tennessee
Oct. 13 at Vanderbilt
Oct. 27 vs. Florida
Nov. 3 Troy
Nov. 10 Auburn
Nov. 17 Kentucky
Nov. 24 at Georgia Tech

Combined record of Division I-A opponents: 87-56 (.608)
Bowl teams: Nine
Home games: Seven (not including Florida at Jacksonville)
Division I-AA opponents: One
AP Top 25 teams: Three (one at home, one at neutral site)

Why they’re No. 14: Georgia scheduled a pair of solid nonconference opponents in Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech. Although the Bulldogs get Auburn at home, they face most of their toughest opponents on the road. Georgia would have ranked higher if its list of SEC West opponents had included LSU or Arkansas instead of Ole Miss. The Bulldogs also were one of many SEC teams to schedule a Division I-AA opponent.
