Although his grammar is a bit “underdeveloped,” Herschel got it right: “They don’t want to take responsibilities, but they have to take responsibility. You’re in college; you’re not out in high school anymore; you’re in college.” And, after you turn 18, boys, you’re not a legal infant any more. In the eyes of the law, you’re an adult.

Hershel is dead on with his comments. yes, he is a country boy and talks like one, but don’t be fooled – hershel is a very intelligent man, and CMR and the players would be wise to listen to him.

I also concur with the idea of bringing him in as strength and conditioning coach – the man is a BEAST. He still looks like he could suit up and run some people over. Hmmm, he have any eligibility left? ROFL!!!!

Walker also expressed his concern regarding the loss of in-state talent to out of state schools. He used CAM NEWTON, who everyone now knows is from Atlanta, as an example. This was after he said he would vote for Newton for the Heisman. Chris Fowler then mentioned Newton as one ” that got away.” This is funny because, incredibly, Bobo never offered the kid! How could one get away when you were never after him to begin with! Bobo’s “good ole boy” arrogance cost Georgia a Heisman winner and effectively empowered Auburn with a physical freak of nature that will probably lead them to a national title! Until Uga rids itself of these coaches and former players from small town Georgia with their preconceived notions regarding certain athletes (including your offensive line coach, Stacy “good ole boy” Searels), your doomed to mediocrity. One national title in a gazillion years is proof of that.

BMDPD. It’s your coaches, particularly Richt, that is the problem, not the kids. These are the same kids that are at Auburn, Alabama, Florida, etc. Richt’s more concerned about his tan than these kids and the indifference is reflected in your off the field issues. It’s not the kids, it’s the coaches. It will probably calm down now because as the weather cools , Richt won’t hit the lake house as much. You guys should be in pretty good shape until the Spring.

Herschel hit the nail on the head, that the problem is larger than CMR, it is the entire program. UGA is still living in 1980 while other teams are basking in more recent championships, which is the crux of the problem with UGA.

The entire coaching staff needs to be gutted, but there are too many politics, especially with Bobo, that this is not going to happen. UGA fans are just to arrogant to make any changes.

Tell em big H! Say what you will about Herschel you never heard of him having any “off the field” problems or trouble.

I have a lot of respect for the big man!

But personally I still think it’s time for Richt to go and if that makes me “short-sighted” in your opinion, well then so be it. As for your theory, well there’s still a lot of football to be played this season and you may want to withhold final judgement til after the season if you’re judging strictly on wins. But even if Richt wins out, he still needs to address glaring problems with two assistant coaches and team discipline. Brother I just don’t see it yet.

Everyone is missing the big picture. Herschel Walker is probably the greatest college back of all time, but why should Richt be listening to him when he is saying “get it together.” Walker has numerous split personalities (if you read his biography you would know about it) and he should “get it together” before he starts telling other people what to do. Also, Herschel walker can’t hold a candle to Quincy Carter in poor speech and grammar. Quincy came and read to my middle school one time, and you guessed it, he can’t read worth ####!

I said that weeks ago. I agree 100% with Walker. But the responsibility not only rest with Richt, the players are no longer little boys. They have to take responsibility for themselves on and off the field. I also said that Rich needed to take over the play calling from BoBo because he was doing a poor job in the previous weeks. Richt has to become a stronger Coach when it comes to managing his personnel.( Coaching Staff & Players) If he doesn’t, he will eventually be replaced. He should know by now what the UGA Alumni, Financial Supporters, and Fan expect of him.

Herschel has earned the right to say whatever he wants however he wants. He should be the one to speak to the team before the Florida game. I believe that the talks that Boss Bailey and Thomas Davis had with the team the last two weeks about what it means to be a Bulldog had a lot to do with the team’s performance. Befor the Tennessee game I was in favor of taking the G off the helmet and making each player earn it. Still dont know that its not a bad idea. No Freshman wear the G. No one arrested wear the G. The attitude has to change.

This is very easy to say from the outside looking in Herschel! Kids are going to act up. With the demand these coaches have and the focus on winning being so high it has got to be hard! It starts with recruiting but how can you turn down a kid who grew up in the ghetto and had no discipline (lack of parenting) yet can carry the rock like nobody else around? These coaches think they can change these kids but it just isn’t happening. Let’s face it, BCS football is the minor leagues for the NFL and it has become it’s own entity whereas something has got to change. It’s not a matter of who is doing “IT” it is a matter of who is getting caught. I think many schools out there are in smaller towns and the police forces have been hiding the players behind the jurisdiction and these days the cops aren’t putting up with it. These players think they are above the law in many cases (Come on Caleb….all u had to do was show up for court and the man would have given you a chance) but they are finding out quickly they can be replaced without a question. For many of them this is their life, the only chance they have, so ZERO TOLERANCE is the only way. You have got to cut the scholarships when they get arrested and found guilty! Until we see some real harsh changes (yes it will suck the first couple of years because many will not adhere and get kicked off) this will continue to fester all over college football. I don’t think the coaches should be in complete control but the NCAA must take some of that away and make penalties more harsh!!! (otherwise we are questioning the coaches decisions constantly).

I had the chance to meet and visit with Herschel for a few minutes a couple of years ago and he was without a doubt the nicest professional or ex-professional athlete that I’ve ever met and I’ve met a bunch of them. He was signing autographs and engaging the autograph seekers in conversation rather than the other way around. I think his parents taught him the importance of making a good first impression on people and it definately works for him. Not quite sure what I think about him posing nude for a magazine, but I still think he’s a class act and a very nice person.

Herschel’s right, but I’m not sure Richt can get control of the team now.
For one thing, athletic dorms were eliminated in 1996, and…for all the negatives they had…it was sure easier for a coach to monitor where players were and what they were doing. But also, I think Coach Richt has that Bobby Bowden “FSU mentality” about a lot of things. Bowden would always excuse a lot of behavior…both on and off the field…by just saying “them boys are just having a little fun, and sometimes go a little too far.”
And that’s the case here with Georgia. In recent years, we have seen:
1. Georgia become one of the most penalized teams in the conference, and a lot of the penalties are foolish ones, coming at critical times.
2. Georgia players dancing and shimmying on the sidelines in the late fourth quarter of a game we were losing.
3. Georgia players make foolish mistakes, and then shouting back at their position coaches when confronted on the sidelines.
4. Georgia players arrested in all kinds of off-the-field incidents.
5. Georgia players running off the field to the locker room at halftime…only to have to stop and return because there is still time left on the clock.
6. Georgia players stomping on the opponent’s logo at midfield after needing a last-second field goal to beat…of all teams…Vanderbilt.
7. Coach Richt dragging his team off midfield in the above-mentioned game, only to turn around later and instruct them to deliberately break the excessive celebration rule.

Most winning teams have a DEEP respect for their coach…almost bordering on fear. (Not fear of physical abuse, of course…but fear of embarrassing themselves, their school, and of losing their coach’s respect.) I don’t think Coach Richt has that at Georgia, and I don’t think that…once a coach loses that…he can ever get it back.

I think Richt is just weak in this regard. He could send a strong statement by withdrawing the scholarship offer to 5-star recruit Christian LeMay (made easier by RFros. Aaron Murray’s strong play at the same position), but I seriously doubt he will do that. A big part of the problem is recruiting. Until Richt stops trying to emulate the Florida schools and their love of the bad boys and starts recruiting based in large part on character, we’ll continue to have the same problems on and off the field.

Not sure why anyone is getting on HW for what he said. Or how anyone thinks he was “calling out” Richt either. It’s was neither uncalled for or particularly damning. Just simply stating, and non to specifically I might add, what anyone could deduce from reading a couple of newspaper articles. “needs to get a handle on the arrests, looks like the penalties are becoming increasingly harsh, and hopefully at some point that will intersect with young men taking responsibility for thier own actions”. Ok, who hasn’t said that, including Richt himself?

And we need to try to recruit any good player in the State of Georgia. OK. Pretty sure that’s been said by every person in the Georgia family, every year for the past 4 decades. Again, who doesn’t say that including Richt himself.

BTW, as usuall the ABH does a much better job of reporting the entire context of this conversation without the slick editing for maximum headline shock and blog hits.

Uga fans: There are at least 10, count ‘ em 10, offensive line starters for other teams in the conference from the State of Georgia that Searels could have had and yet passed on. One in particular, Roke Watkins, South Carolin’s right guard , from Fairburn, pushed you all over the field. Searels and Richt have effectively ruined the carrers of Kiante Tripp and Bean anderson by moving them from the offensive line to make room for their favorites. and the emergence of Kenarious Gates is no suprise. They knew he was a player in high school but were reluctant to sign him for the same old tired Uga reasons. Until this crap stops you’ll aways be second rate and that’s the way it should be.

Dawgfan, are you addressing my comments? There is . . . I think, a bulldawg59 but I’m 59bulldawg. If not pardon the reply. I’m not speaking to technology. Of course the tests are better today than in the 70s. But they still had minimums and you could still be jailed for a DUI. Still I maintain that a comparison/contrast of what the law strictly enforces now as opposed to 30 years ago is not the problem. While detection is probably better now than then so is the process of educating the public on this problem. And then on top of it all they continue to get in trouble despite knowing how much criticism it brings to the program. To me that’s the ultimate sign of disrespect to Coach Richt. For those who think the police are targeting football players, consider this. Did they just, all of a sudden one day say “Hey let’s make life for the football program rough by arresting as many players as we can?” I just don’t see it.

Unfortunately nothing is going to change until UGA changes its mediocre coaching.

It doesn’t matter how many blue chip high school players go to UGA, they simply don’t get the coaching they would get at Florida or Alabama, to name two schools whose programs are far ahead of UGA.

I realize that human nature is the same today as it has always been. And no I don’t think that in the “good ol’ days” all the players were perfect and the coaches never lost a game. But I honestly don’t remember as many players getting into trouble then as we have had the last several years. Some folks will blame that on stricter law enforcement today and others will claim that all the players back then were perfectly behaved. Don’t put me in either category. But for all those who point to previous Georgia teams being the same in regards player problems, please post a list of players from the 1980 team or for that matter any previous Georgia team that were either arrested or should have been arrested in your opinion. Yes I know about Jake Scott and his escapades and a few others at the esteemed Open House restaurant there in Athens. I’m not saying a list can’t be made . . . just that I can’t remember it being as consistently out of control as it seems to be now.

And before you say anything about me being the one that remarked about Barry and What’s Important please read and try to understand that I was simply making a point that no one cares about hershel posing nude what does that have to do with football and why in God’s name would anyone talk lovingly about his body unless obsessed with it? And my other so called attack (call out) I simply pointed out the obvious which is a person can’t pick and choose what crimes are ok as they are all crimes and should be punished and if a zero tolerance policy is in place then all crimes should be treated the same. Now please pull your head out of uga’s butt and keep your mouth shut unless you have something intelligent to say and lay off the periods man, it makes you look like a complete idiot.

How sad that UGA graduates students who have no idea the proper useage of the written word. Is it that much trouble to type ‘ve at the end of a word when it’s required? It appears that like so many college around the country UGA still values athletic ability above intellect. Funny how so many of those kids seem to graduate while other kids who actually understand how to write a sentence flunk out. Those college athletes must have a guardian angel on their side who either has the ability to change grades or dumb down the courses they’re required to take.

That said, I guess it’s great that in America someone with so little understanding of the English language can end up a multimillionaire.

In the formation of the United States Football League, Walker saw an opportunity to do something then forbidden by NFL rules, namely, to turn professional after the end of his junior season rather than wait for his collegiate class to graduate the year later (senior or 4th year). He also sought to choose where he would play professionally, as he felt he could make considerable money from product endorsements; as he was quoted on one occasion: “I don’t know if I would want to play in the NFL unless it was for the two New York teams or the Dallas Cowboys.”

Is this Herschel the ex-UGA football player, Herschel the Apprentice, Herschel the MMA? I would have hoped he would have been more understanding of CMR instead of jumping on the what’s going on at the program wagon. Its very simple folks. Back in Herschel’s day, all of the players lived under one roof. Made it very easy to control and monitor the players. Then, the NCAA in their infinite wisdome, decried that having a dorm for athletes was somehow discriminatory and the players scattered to the wind. Coaches in Herschel’s day would sit on the roof at night and challenge players who were sneaking off and conduct bed checks.

In 1988, while still a player for the Dallas Cowboys, he danced with the Fort Worth Ballet for a single performance.
In his 2008 autobiography Breaking Free, Walker revealed that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as “multiple personality disorder”. He claimed that due to his disorder, he cannot remember the season he won the Heisman Trophy, let alone the moment. He also claimed that during one episode, he had held a gun to his own head. He stated he did not ever remember doing this. He is getting help for this disorder, and feels he has recovered by gaining back control.

DawgByte, you are correct. It is a double-edged sword whether a team chooses to be or not to be physical in practice. A Team has to be physical and intense in practice or they will play soft in games. Injuries are part of the sport. 2008 was a freak year. I watched a team do angle tackles every practice and through the playoffs. The result was they won the championship!

Half to three fourths of the postings has answered something totally unrelated to the topic. For those of you that are under 20 , find a Disney blog. For those of you that are over 20 stop being so negative and pay attention to the topic. It shows your ignorance when you say the same thing on every blog. A lot of the negative answers make no sense . UGA is a big time college program and it takes years for changes to occur. The AD just hired a new Defensive coordinator. It will take at least 3 years to evaluate how good Grantham will be and where he fits in. I think it’s going to turn out that he is a great recruiter. CMR has proven he is a great coach with his record over the last 10 years. There are going to be ups and downs, that’s life.
Herschel Walker was a great football player who only thought of one thing . FOOTBALL. He concentrated , 24/7 on being in top physical condition and mentally ready for what needed to be done on the field and off. The reporter ask the greatest player in UGA history a question and he gave a very valid good answer. Leave it at that. He doesn’t understand how so many players have the time to focus on study’s, staying in top playing condition, get ready for the season or the next game, meaning learn the play book, and still have time to get into trouble. The UGA players who are getting into trouble are NOT 100% dedicated to UGA and the football program and have questionable mental focusing capabilities.
One thing that I think would help is to build a great Athletic dorm and make all football players live there for the first two years to give them time to adjust to college life and grow up.

CDAWG – Tough one to answer. Hate to think that they all went to UGA because they thought that they could not get arrested??? My guess would be until CMR can get the respect that Saban, Myer etc… can achieve, the arrests will continue. I’m a huge CMR fan, but as Herschel stated he has to be in control of his players. No, he can’t watch them every second of the day, but he has to gain their respect by demanding it. He needs to be more extreme in his punishments. That might even mean booting more kids off the team, depending on the offense. Just my opinion!

Before people like Mr. Walker comment about the off the field troubles at UGA, they need to take a close look at the Athens-Clarke County Police and the UGA police. I have had three children go through UGA the last 8 years. Believe me the same things go on at other schools but they get brushed aside everywhere else but Athens Georgia. Tell Mr. Walker to go drive through Athens after twelve o’clock midnight. He will have about a ninety percent chance of being pulled over for some made up reason. The police in Athens are like the gestapo and it is all a money making scheme for Clarke County. I am not saying my children are angels but I am saying they were all good students, loyal UGA fans and now all three have succesful careers and two have families. You almost have to spend your whole time at UGA in the library or SLC to live in Athens for four years and not but subjected to the wrath of the Athens-Clarke County police or even more so the UGA police. For the UGA haters that don’t think it goes on at your school, you have your head in the sand.

Did a little investigating last weekend while in Athens….I asked parents and students if they had any interesting stories about changes in the Athens/Clarke County police department:

The most insane story was told by the parents of a 20 yr old. He caught a cab after drinking (underage granted but responsible enough to get a cab). The cab had a taillight out and was pulled over. The boy was asked if he had been drinking. He told the truth and was taken to jail. The parents spent 2k on attorney fees because UGA has a two strike rule: Two violations and you’re out. This was one of a dozen stories that left me with a more realistic picture of what athletes and non-athletes in Athens are up against.

If UGA spent more time educating those kids, we would not have those problems. UGA is just like all the other Southern Universities. They only want the players (Africian Americans) to run the ball up and down the field and when they can’t do that they have no more use for them. The universities makes millions of dollars each year off these kids and the students have nothing to show for it (hope to get into the NFL). One player sold his jersey so he could go on spring break while 95% of the other affluent students go on a week spring break in cancun. What a shame!!! The teachers/coaches/president, etc just advance them from one grade to the next so they can play. SHAME ON UGA!!!

A reminder to the retards and non-Bulldogs (one and the same, really) that our “history” does not begin and end with the 1980 team. In the final 2007 polls, we finished Number TWO in the country. Thats’ not so long ago, dudes. What are non-Bulldogs doing on this board anyway. Don’t you have a team to follow?

What kind of trophy did you get for being “number 2″ ($h1t) ? Was it a replica of an outhouse, and where is it displayed? Better save some room in the same trophy case for your runner-up toilet bowl trophy this year! Ignorant mangy mutt!

Herschel is a nice guy, but he is way too imperfect to be taking on the mentor role, at least publicly.

Richt needs to start making sure a dozen or more tickets are given to the UGAPD for every home game. Invite cops to practice and let them interact with players before or after. Let them see each other in a more personal way. Invite a couple to AD or Prez’s luxury suites every now and then. Just use some common sense street smarts. Pay the cops for extra security around games, practice, special events, etc. Come on UGA, let’s act like we’re not a bunch of dumb hillbillies.

Vandie opening kick-off and CMR this morning at 7:15 am on AM750 said that Sailors # 5 is great. Lifts him up to The Bulldog Nation by name for his play. And, what was his play ? He TAUNTED the Vandie kick-off returner after his teammate tackled him. He got into his face, he jarred at him, he walked completely around him, taunting him repeatedly but got no penalty for reasons only the Officials can explain.

Cam Newton, we have no room for on our Roster ? Are you out of your mind ? Cam Newton like so many other recruits in this great state of Georgia, we whiffed on getting. Don’t bring your LAME EXCUSES in here for our lack of star power on Offense, Defense and Special Teams when the recruits themselves make it plain as day to everyone that our coaching staff is weak, that we don’t recognize talent, that we play FAVORITES instead, that we bury on the Depth Chart better players who are younger, that we totally lack any discipline on the field off the field or in the locker-room – and that this has killed our recruiting.

No room for Cam Newton but plenty of room for Zach Mettenberger and his 2 sexual battery GUILTY attacks of a coed. And, plenty of room for us to have a THIEF on our own team this year. And, plenty of room for us to KEEP Montez Robinson on our roster AFTER he beat up a girl. Plenty of room for Michael Lemon whom CMR told us all to mail in our money to for him and his brother; yet, Michael Lemon beat up a student to a pulp. Yes, it is the 1980 in 2010. NONE of these 3 happened in 1980; I know; I was there. YOU were NOT. Jake Scott was and is a character; I like him. I talk to him. Do YOU ? No. He drives a Mercedes. What do you drive ? Herschel Walker doesn’t read as he speaks. He was nervous. He was asked on the spot about all the B.S. here in our program and he spoke the DAMN TRUTH. I listened to it 1st hand. You read Tim Tucker AFTER I TOLD HIM WHAT HE SAID and EVEN THEN Tim Tucker left out ALL THE COMMENTS BY HERSCHEL WALKER ABOUT THE SORRY BUTT RECRUITING IN THIS GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA. And, yes, Hershel Walker said that we WHIFFED on Cam Newton. Cam Newton for Heisman Trophy was Herschel Walker’s vote, he said.

Altamahawdawg,

No big deal that we lose the 14 seniors and 4-5 juniors off a team that in fact has LOST already 9 games last year and this year so far.

You’re the 1 who said we would win the national championship in 2011; you’re the 1 who said that Joe Cox threw the football as well as anyone especially the long ball with our 17 interceptions last year; and you’re the 1 who said that Christian LeMay would not be an issue at all getting past UGA Admissions with your list of excuses for a guy having sex with a 14-year old in a classroom in front of the Principal not even playing and now CMR has ANOTHER who also is not playing his senior year both assured by CMR that their scholarships are waiting just like he did to Michael Grant.

You’re also the 1 Altamahawdawg, who said here that we did not recruit well 2009 and before; and, I presume you are less than satisfied with the recruiting 2010 and what it looks like for 2011, right ?

But, with their lack of effort – let’s tell them how great they are going to be – ALL IN JAIL.

I take Herschel Walker’s approach – sorry to disagree with your approach Altamahawdawg.

We are a football program OUT OF CONTROL on the field with poor coaching staff and off the field with the poor coaching staff poorly recruiting in this great state.

So, no sir; I like Herschel Walker do not see this football program heading up next year losing these players. We haven’t recruited well and you cannot name me the recruits you think are going to step in, not get arrested, so effort, be in shape, and win.

You’re satisfied Altamahawdawg, and Herschel Walker and I are NOT.

Here is a some good points that I did not miss.

“No room for Cam Newton but plenty of room for Zach Mettenberger and his 2 sexual battery GUILTY attacks of a coed. ”

See now, you need to talk to thsi guy who used to call himself BuLLdawg, because he said Mett was all about having Mett on the team.

“There is nothing fluid about the QB debate. Zach Mettenberger out-performed Aaron Murray in all 3 scrimmages in a row. If you cannot see that he is going to be drafted in the NFL Draft, that is your problem Tim. You have gushed about little average speed poor arm poor decision-making no experience lining up under Center Aaron Murray and now that he clearly is not # 1, you hang on to it’s still fluid.”

“Quit making your excuses for David Greene and Aaron Murray. Those are NOT NFL Quarterbacks. Zach Mettenberger is.”

“So, while you all sit there and jump on the Zach Mettenberger bandwagon, I point out that I said all along that he should have been the QB last year.”

Of cource he also said that we completely wasted a scholarship on Mettenberger, a player who coulnd’t throw a comeplte pass unless it was to a defended.

Maybe Bulldog Joe and BuLLdawg need to get together and figure out which way it is. Ask the Messenger, see if he can decide.

I think that all you folks putting the responsibility for this team’s anctics have completly forgotten that the previous AD, the real “Leader” of the whole athletic program, certainly showed the way!
