Arrests / Suspensions since 2006
Fulmer Cup All-Time Standings – Started 2006
# 5 UGA Bulldogs
# 4 Alabama
# 2 Florida Crocodiles
We are the Number 5 WORST in the nation All-Time in Fulmer Cup Standings
David Hale listed 39 UGA Football Player Arrests / Suspensions on his blog this morning May 29, 2010 since February 2007.
The Orlando newspaper did an evaluation of Florida Crocodiles, Florida State Criminoles, Tennessee (whom the Fulmer Cup was named for) and The Georgia Bulldogs. UGA is DEAD LAST WORST at Arrests / Suspensions.
We are # 9 in The SEC in Football Graduation Rates.
Since February 2007, there have been 160 UGA Football Players and we have 39 Arrests / Suspensions and VIOLENT CRIMES we are on our football team over this period 10 times WORSE than the Athens Clarke County total population.
Just since Spring Practice, we kicked off 3 players off the team, 2 of those had MULTIPLE GUILTY ARRESTS CHARGES / SUSPENSIONS KICKED OFF TEAM for what they did to little girls. 1 slammed a UGA coed into a dumpster, then he attacked her car in a parking lot, then he picked her up and slammed her to the at McWhorter Hall, then he picked her up and threw her repeatedly into the floor of McWhorter Hall. The other plead GUILTY to 2 Sex Charges to yet another coed in Remerton whom he accosted. These are not non-scholarship football players. The 1 still in jail for repeatedly picking up and slamming a girl on our campus into the McWhorter Hall floor is a Top 10 at his position recruit and he was the # 1 football player in his state Indiana for all positions. By all accounts, the other is a Top 10 QB in the nation destined to be in the NFL were it not for his treatment of women. The facts are he could have Quarterbacked for UGA last season.
Aron White defended the Top 10 QB in the nation at his position. Aron White also drops a lot more passes than Orson Charles who is bigger and faster than Aron White.
Aron White got into it in the Red & Black about our Top 10 QB defending him and making excuses.
There are NO excuses.
No one seems to make any excuses for the other Top 10 Football Recruit at his position.
These are criminal attacks of little girls, students at college in this state by Top 10 at their position RECRUITS.
And, we have all noted how the NFL Draft has gone in these last 5 years of the Coach Richt Era compared to the first 5 years of the Coach Richt Era when we had Jim Donnan Recruits being drafted.
And, we are # 9 in The SEC in football graduation rates, latest 2010 NCAA study Coach Richt Era.
25 percent Arrests / Suspensions of all the players here at UGA since February 2007.
We cannot make excuses for that.
It has to be addressed off the field as it is also indicated on the field with # 96 in Penalties Average NCAA Rank the last 4 years too.
With 21 fumbles a year last 4 years and with 14 interceptions a year last 4 years
# 19 at 38-14 the last 4 years.
Damon Evans said he HAD TO SAY IT IN PUBLIC, that we are NOT DOING WELL and that HE MUST SAY IT in PUBLIC that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Then, we come in here and a vocal few say that the vast majority of us alumni, me included, are not Bulldogs for daring to point it out what in fact EVERYONE in the United States of America is saying about this IN DECLINE UGA FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

Nope, just hard work and creativity. And my point was not to throw out $’s – just to make the point that college is a brief stop a long the way. Too many love to say they went to Duke, Vandy or Stanford and that’s what they live their lives by with the crest on their chest. I don’t really give a sh__t – but they love to think we do.

It is obvious that many don’t realize that UGA is one of the better public institutions in the country, whether they like it or not. We so hate that for ‘em.
“Bulldawg” can you tell me how many coaches have a better record than UGA, over the last 9 years???

And yet the fall semester football has the NCAA max limit for football players and a lower overall GPA …allowing “walkons” in the spring is a nice way to game that system to meet minimum GPA requirements. No wonder everyone does it.

BuLLdawg gets it right time after time. He never attacks Mark Richt and says he is a bad man. Most of the apologists for him think that’s what it’s about. It’s not. What it is about is results. Clearly we don’t get the results in Athens that over $3 million recession dollars should get. It falls to the head guy. The head guy is Mark Richt. Stipulation: Mark Richt is a good man. Not a perfect man. Mark Richt is not a great head football coach that deserves over $3 million dollars a year. He is not a leader of young men. Oh some of you say he leads by example. Well if that’s the case how come the arrests don’t reflect an arrest rate of let’s see, The United States Naval Academy, or Air Force or West Point. Good Man, bad leader and therefore incapable of being a top tier head coach. I feel sorry for him and the pain and suffering he will go through as he’s run off in the near future. Hopefully he has invested well. Maybe Tim Tebow’s dad can give him a job in the Philippines as a missionary. That would be great and I think he could find more peace there than he will in Athens as he continues to ride the Georgia Football program into the ground.

At least for the football and basketball teams, the grades are a freaking joke. What they’re not showing you are the ludicrous degrees and course descriptions. The courses are a joke, and the degrees are so worthless that no parents who are paying the bills would let their kids enroll in these degrees. The only ones enrolled in many of the degrees offered at UGA are scholarship football/basketball players, a sure sign that the degrees are worthless. Of course, few of them graduate anyway.
Jan Kemp exposed this kind of crap at UGA almost three decades ago, but the only thing that’s changed is that the arrest rate has gone up.
What a joke and an embarrassment UGA has become.

Great post, heeldog. I would add that those national championships have been won in 8 different sports. Add in 132 SEC titles, a great college town, good academics, and it is easy to see why there are jealous posters on here, running down the Dogs out of envy.

“Football 121 2.76″
Hate to say it Dawg fans, but looking at this from a teacher’s perspective, this is NOT good.
Bear with me.
If I am understanding the report correctly that number includes about 35 walkons who had to make at least 3.0 to maintain HOPE. That kind of skews the curve, leaving quite a few scholarship players hovering closer to 2.0.
But these are student/ATHLETES, not just students, and have more on their plates than most. How much film study is required in Swimming? How much time in the weight room is required in Golf?

Agreed, Monticello Dawg. These numbers are not too bad especially given the amount of time that is expected of these student athletes outside of the classroom. Like it or not, haters, UGA is among the best public institutions in the country. Do any of y’all have high school-aged children or younger siblings? Just ask them about admissions standards these days.

The irony in mentioning Coach Dooley’s Championship is that by today’s standard he would have never lasted at Georgia long enough to accomplish that. Now way a coach survives the kind of record he had during the decade of the 70’s now. Imagine the fun somebody would have had back then breaking down those stats if they had the ability to put on thier costume and rant at 2 AM on a anonymous sports blog during that fine period.
But back then, protential and goodwill built during the better years factored in. I think most folks are glad that Coach Dooley survived his tough times. I mean we ever have folks who want to rename a stadium after a coach who lost 5 and 6 games quite a few times. Must be something more to that than just a list of statistical information.
(personally I think “The University of Tennessee Coach’s Dad Stadium” sounds stupid)

HeelDawg, way to cherry pick data on GT. How about some corrections.
In the last decade GT has been in the TOP TEN public schools in the nation (#7) and is the only technological university in that group.
Terry College is ranked lower by leading publications than GT’s College of Management (was surpassed in 2006 and the gap grows annually…especially the MBA program)
Tech is now above 20k in student enrollment (for what that’s worth)
Most of Tech’s engineering programs (which you correctly site as being #1 or #2 among blacks and other minorities consistently) are also consistently in the Top 5 in their field (too many to list…check Wikipedia and GT’s website). Industrial Engineering (a highly business-related field, by the way) is #1 in the nation at both undergrad and graduate levels.
Not going to draw any conclusions from this, but we must be fair and pick similar data for both schools. I think you kind of cherry picked some GT stats that were convenient for your “comparison.”
No argument on the athletic side of things.

After reading the GT criticisms of every UGA article for a while now, I have decided that the yellow jackazzes are either so drunk on the GT kool-aid that they can’t be argued with or they are too stupid to understand logical info. If they were just ignorant we could enlighten them but they appear to be way beyond that. The other possibility is that they enjoy firing up the Dawg nation by making BS comments and it seems to work. BTW, I totally agree with DawginOhio

UGA grads are usually very successful in whatever they decide to do as a career. Here are a couple of facts having to do with relatives:
One family member …………….UGA BBA undergrad in Business Adm. MBA London School of Economics, now senior partner with international firm.
Another family member- BA Liberal Arts Philosophy …………DUKE MBA now VP of Marketing in NJ with major pharmaceutical firm.
Another family member- UGA BBA, just graduated from Emory MB school where we saw Arnold S. the Governator speak.
My self- UGA BA 71 and retired Senior VP, Sales and Marketing North America, w/ Japanese firm
My sister- BA Home Economics, retired senior exec. w/ Delta
Wife- BA Liberal Arts- retired senior exec w/ Delta, now big time Atlanta realtor.
Folks …………say what you will if you HATE UGA, but we gotta like it because it has been good to my family.
Hard to argue with success. Gooooooooooooooooo Dawgs !!! Woof, woof, woof.
To post UGA hate here is to illustrate your lack of any education or have any future. Now go out and apply to UGA and hope that you get in, study hard, then embark on a fabulous career.

“! anyone can take statistics and spin them to look as good or bad as they want to…………..Bottom line is this, UGA has consistantly done better with Coach Mark Richt over a nine year period than with any other coach in the history of University of Georgia football.”
76 % Winning Percentage Coach Richt 2001-2009 nine years
77 % Winning Percentage Coach Wally Butts 1940-1948 nine years
78 % Winning Percentage Coach Vince Dooley 1980-1988 nine years
“Bottom line is this, UGA has consistantly done better with Coach Mark Richt over a nine year period than with any other coach in the history of University of Georgia football.”
.
THAT is a LIE
RED DOG 77
Both Wally Butts College Football Hall of Fame who WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 1940 & 1946, whom we named the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall for did BETTER than Coach Richt for 9 years, so that is LIE RED DOG 77.
And, Vince Dooley College Football Hall of Fame who WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in 1968 and 1980, did BETTER than Coach Richt for 9 years, so that is LIE too RED DOG 77.
First Nine Years
Mark Richt – 8-4, 13-1, 11-3, 10-2, 10-3, 9-4, 11-2, 10-3, 8-5 = 90-27 77% In 117 games.
Vince Dooley – 7-3-1, 6-4, 10-1, 7-4, 8-1-2, 5-5-1, 5-5, 11-1, 7-4 = 66-28-4 67% In 98 games. If Vince Dooley wins the ties his percentage moves up to 71%.
Wally Butts – 5-6, 5-4-1, 9-1-1, 11-1, 6-4, 7-3, 9-2, 11-0, 7-4-1 = 70-25-3 71% In 98 games. If Wally Butts wins the ties his percentage moves up to 75%.

Testimonial, “To post UGA hate here is to illustrate your lack of any education or have any future.”
Non Sequitor.
Quite to the contrary, as a GT alumnus (and a member of a particularly well connected Greek organization) I have had the blessing and privelege of an excellent career and happen to personally know several world-changing individuals that either run or direct the product development for some of the most presitigious multinational firms in the world.
If I or, say, the design director for Ferrari (a fellow Tech grad), for example, said we hate the Bulldogs does it in any way diminish who we are or what we’ve accomplished? I wouldn’t ever say that UGA is a bad school, but it’s absurd to think anyone who hates it or its alumni is uneducated or unsuccessful. There are thousands of universities in the U.S. and GT and UGA are priveleged to be reaching the heights among them. But please accept that Yellow Jackets will continue to hate Bulldogs and vise-versa.

On Senior Day at Tech they recoginize the Senior football players, but do not call out their majors and when the band seniors are regognized at half time they do call out their majors, just wondering why the difference.

Reality is the difference Jesse James
If Tech fielded a bunch of Engineers for its athletic program they would have to drop to Div III because they couldnt get any good ball players to play there.
They just want everyone to think the football team is a bunch of engineers but they are not thats why I have always called them Janitorial or Plant Engineers

Not sure why anybody would point out how many games previous coaches won. This forum seems more focused on the few losses more so that the majority of games when a coach is a winner. Would be more to the point if you looked at 9 yr spans and how many games Dooley and Butts lost. Butts particularly had several 6 and 7 loss seasons. Dooley had a few. IF Richt ever had ONE, they would be burning him in effigy.
A lesson would be that those coaches both had tremendous seasons mixed in there too, and followed up some of thier worst with championships.
But OH if the internet existed on 10/23/79……..
And what kind of arrest headlines would Dooleys team have if the drinking age was 21 back then, or the Athens police were as strict, or the information about a player’s trouble wasn’t completely controled?
Anybody want to start a conversation about what kinds of GPA football player had back in Dooley’s day?

Now that we’re officially in the off-season, wouldn’t this be the perfect time to take an in-depth look at UGA and have a free-ranging discussion about the problems at UGA and why the arrest rate of players is the highest in the country? it’s common knowledge that UGA is a party school, but have any football players every actually graduated with a real degree? Jan Kemp exposed the school and the coaches almost three decades ago, but there is no sign that anything has improved; if anything, the arrest rate shows that things are getting more outrageous every year while Mark Richt – a decent fellow with no coaching skills – has no clue what to do.
UGA has become a major embarrassment to all Georgians, and we want some answers starting now.

To the “Heeldawg’s data” guy:
I concede your points on Tech’s rankings, having confirmed your info from data on the Tech website. This was not an attempt at misinformation; I simply didn’t have that degree of detail before.
BTW, I have no argument that Georgia Tech’s a great engineering school. I did not comment on the Terry/Tech B-School business comparison; I simply wanted to point out that subjective arguments are trumped by data every time. Your data on Tech were more specific than my own.
To those who cite the U.Ga. student arrest records, that’s mostly the fault of the Athens/CC police, who view ticketing of students as a major source of departmental revenue. Most of the athlete arrests involve things like underage possession of alcohol and driving a moped without a license. The athletes are not only not exempt from this; they are, in fact, targeted. It’s a lot easier to hide from the law in a city of 4 million.
And Truth, you are a leper. So you got your wish. Enjoy having your appendages fall off, Unclean One.

Some of you have commented on how the athletes get “favored treatment.” First, there are fewer institutions in the nation that have more safeguards against athletes getting academic passes than UGA. It is just not happening in Athens, and it will not happen in Athens. Thanks to Jan Kemp or whatever you want to cite, but those days are long gone. Secondly, I am pretty sure that the women’s volleyball players and swimmers are not high profile athletes, and the athletes that are show lower grades. The logic is just not there to justify some critique like that.

I like Richt too as a person as I have said in the past. But this 10 win crap I could care less.
10 win seasons doesnt do the program any good as you have shown above by the East record we have had.
The program will not ever be what it should be and could be if this continues.
Again I like Richt but to pay someone 3million + a year to consistantly lose to FL, have the SEC EAST record we have not fire coaches like Fabris and Martinez as long as he did merits his butt being on the hot seat.
Willie Martinez should have been fired after the FL game for allowing Tebow to break Herschel’s record against us but Richt did not and I can tell you he probably wasnt until Kentucky came in and beat us
Hopefully he has had a wake up call with boosters and fans and the staff he has hired will turn things around because I can tell you if we continue to lose to FL our top 10 recruiting class will be a thing of the past. No good prospect is going to go somewhere that they dont have a chance to play a title

THE GOOD NEWS IS: With the awful economy, more top-rated academic students are staying in Georgia! My nephew, who just graduated from a private school in Atlanta and was third in his class, was WAIT-LISTED for the Honors program at UGA! He got into Notre Dame but can’t afford it. He eventually got into the Honors Program and will be attending UGA in the fall. My other nephew will be attending Tech. He turned down Duke for Tech! How lucky both schools and the State of Georgia are that super-talented kids like this will be staying in Georgia! GOOD NEWS!
