Might UGA, Boise State meet in the Georgia Dome?
ATHENS – Might Georgia play Boise State in a season-opening football game next year in Atlanta?
As rumors swirled Thursday about such a possibility in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity and coach Mark Richt were mum on the matter.
“I just can’t comment on it at this time,” McGarity said Thursday night.
Asked how he would feel about playing Boise State in the Georgia Dome, Richt replied with a smile: “Hypothetically? Hypothetically, no comment.”
Richt said he was told not to comment on the matter, but he did offer a hint of a possible timetable for a decision when he was asked if playing in the Chick-fil-A Game would be important because of the recruiting benefit it has provided other SEC teams.
“I’ll tell you Monday,” he said.
Gary Stokan, who runs the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, has said often in the past that he would like to have Georgia in the game whenever it works for the school. Although he has two Kickoff games lined up for 2012, Stokan has been seeking a 2011 matchup for at least a couple of years. He could not be reached Thursday.
Stokan has noted in the past that matchups are extremely difficult to arrange, particularly for games as close at hand as 2011, because of all the variables involved. He has compared the process to a Rubik’s cube. For example, Georgia and Boise State likely would have to get out of existing contracts with Louisville and Ole Miss, respectively, in order to meet next season.
Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone posted on Twitter early Thursday: “Will have a big football schedule announcement today.” Later, he posted: “Sorry about the delay announcing football’s future schedule. A lot of moving parts and ESPN has a few loose ends.”
Georgia currently has seven home games scheduled for next season, including the Louisville game.
Boise State is undefeated this season (9-0) and ranked No. 3 in this week’s AP poll.
By the way, Chick-fil-A this month opened its first restaurant in Idaho — on the Boise State campus.

If UGA’s defense doesn’t improve Boise would likely blow em out of the water. But, I’d still love to see it.

Boise is losing several significant players this year (both of their fast WRs and a lot of their defense), so the matchup could be pretty even in 2011. Boise will still have Moore and Martin, though…

With a new strength & conditioning coach, no more running on 2nd and 10 after an incomplete pass, and possibly with a new Top 10 Offensive Coordinator, and with a playmaker or 2 on the D-line, and a play-making linebacker, and a playmaking safety who other teams fear, we would have a good chance…..!?! Sigh…………. (insert barking sound here……)

It is a done deal. GA will face Boise in Atlanta next year. Richt turns his career around at that game as UGA dominates Boise giving them their first loss in a long time. It is a gamble for UGA and especially for Richt. If he fails–then it may be the beginning of the end for UGA’s best ever coach.

dogs, you would have no chance against Boise. They would out play and out coach you badly. You need to stick to opening up with teams like La Monroe or Lafeyette, they are the only teams you can beat. Your football is a mockery, a fools errand. You lack class, can not play worth a lick, and use thugs instead of decent players like Florida and Auburn. It is no wonder you are so disrespected throughout the league, we all love seeing you get spanked week after week. It will continue next year and beyond, get used to being a second rate program, it is after all, what you really are

Most of our OL are Juniors, so they’ll be back (although not sure that’s a plus), running backs are all back. What other top offensive talent?

It’ll be a no contest. All we heard during the summer of ‘05 was Georgia was no match for Boise. I believe Georgia beat them 55 to 10.
Boise doesn’ t have near the depth that Georgia has. Nor the speed. The only reason the beat Oklahoma was that Oklahoma did not take them seriously.
Georgia would beat them like they stole something.

I dont care what anyone says, Boise could beat Georgia, but traveling another 3000 miles and all the other disadvantages is not cool with me. The only way i’d be ok with this matchup is if the win and other ooc games would demand an NC bid. Otherwise, its not worth it. We did it this yr, and it hasn’t helped much.

I’ve learned not to be optimistic about the dogs anymore.
Probably a bad move as Boise would expose us in the first game of the season and make recruits realize early in the process they need to look elsewhere if they want to win.
I’d say lets play Ga State instead. Richt & Co would make it a game, but UGA should be able to win and thus not hurt recruiting.

Boise ST 7 – UGA 45 last time they met.
Hawaii 10 – UGA 38 or something last time they met.
Boise’s ex coach – just fired at Colorado after going to Coach in a real conference.
Yes Boise may win, just like Appl St. may win in Gainseville this weekend, or Troy may win in Columbia, but no way Boise is a better team. They would get slaughtered playing in a big conference on a consistent basis.
If that’s not true, why would they have to get out of their Miss. contract to play UGA? Why not play them both in the same year?
Why not sign the contract Nebraska has put on the table, since you say no teams will play you for the 1m per game you demand?
Why did Boise let Utah out of their game next season, since Boise is joining the frightening Mountain West?
Face it – Boise if they played in a real conference would forfeit after 8 games because of injuries and lack of interest in football. I’m so sick and tired of these charlatans.
If they play in a BCS Title game, every conference should disband. UGA should then schedule 1 halfway decent team, that is notorious for slow starts like VPI. Then a mid- major like Oregon ST. and then play 10 Vanderbilt, Duke, New Mexico St., Idaho types, and go 12-0 every year like the losers at Boise.
No wonder they can play well in Jan., they’ve stayed fresh all season. What a joke, wake up people!

Next yr will be a different team, but with Kellen Moore and the depth we have, its debatable whether or not next yrs team will be as good, the same, or better……………. Be careful what you wish for, teams that play Boise either become better after(Oregon) or worse. Its science.

The biggest downside to Boise next year is that they are losing two really talented wide receivers to the NFL. They will still have one of the best QB’s in the country, he will just have a few less weapons at his disposal. It would be an interesting game. I wonder how much money McGarity would demand to do this though. He has already said he doesn’t want to play anymore tough out of conference games.

It seems like they’ve beaten just about every top team they’ve played since. I;m not saying they’ll beat us. I think we should be better, but I just hate opening up against a tough opponent on the first game….after losing our SR.s, & all the players we lose every yr. that leave early for the NFL.

Boise is so pathetic they have to set up games with the schedule like Nevada to stay undefeated.
Boise can beat any team in the country on any given Saturday, granted. So can App. St., ask Michigan in the Big House. But they could not play a demanding schedule. If they could they would, instead of scheduling Toledo and the likes in the non-conference schedule.
Hey Boise, play Michigan St., Nebraska, and Ga in the same year, like on three consecutive weeks, and if you win those 3, we’ll see about your claim to a Title. Wimps.

Boy that’s downright frightful compared to the beasts they scheduled non-conference in ‘09:
UC Davis, Tulsa, Bowling Green, Miami of Ohio, and Oregon – whooo frightful I say. Scary.
How about ‘08 non-conference. Must be fierce to fight for a BCS bowl while playing in the pathetic WAC, right?
Idaho State, Bowling Green, Southern Miss, and Oregon. Wow, if UGA played that schedule, and then had to play in the fearsome WAC, they’d probably just cancel football. Whooo, I’m scared just writing it.
Pathetic losers. Get a schedule, and then you can play in the BCS. The system is broke if a bunch of wannabe’s like Boise get in the game.

Then Hawaii was as obliterated as I’ve ever seen a supposedly good D-1 team, 41-10, with the QB literally begging to quit being crushed, and mercifully taken out early in the 4th with the game well in hand by UGA.. I think the score was 41-3 at the time, and then we put the scrubs in.

UGA has nothing to gain by playing this game. I’m on board with McGarity’s plan. It has worked for UF and it is working for AU. Go undefeated in the SEC and you go to the MNC.

Oooh….tough call. Louisville would be a slam dunk against a D-1 school (yes I believe we will improve next year.)
What I know about Boise State is that they are growing and improving by the day. I’m in the Sacramento area and the kids at Grant High (local power, nationally ranked) now say they want to attend Boise. Not USC, not Cal, Not Oregon, but Boise.
It’s rather far-flung with little night life and very little ethnic diversity, but, sure enough, Boise is becoming a sexy pick for 4 and 5 star recruits on the west coast.
I really can’t say I want that game, but I know our defense will be much improved next year……

Oh, I see why Boise would have to drop Ole Miss now if they pick up UGA. There’s now way they could play: Toledo, Tulsa, Fresno State, and Nevada in the non-conference with UGA and Ole Miss. That’s just far too brutal of a schedule. Down right frightening, scary if you asked me. Especially being in the Mountain West next season, and having to play the fearsome likes of New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado St., and UNLV. Even San Diego St. and the Air Force Academy. Shiverrrs! Well, at least they’ll play TCU every year, and that will give them some competition. They’ll probably have to set up an off-week every year before that brutal showdown.

StevenW it has nothing to do with being afraid to schedule Ole Miss and Georgia. It is about finding another team with an open date. Truthfully the only reason this is happening is Ole Miss found a replacement in BYU and Boise is going after a bigger pay check. Ole Miss was supposed to pay $900,000 for their game, Boise State can make $2M for a game in the Dome. ESPN is putting all this together.

Boise Dawg – It has worked for UF, LSU and ‘Bama. They have won the last 4 National championships playing weak sisters of the poor OOC, while we’ve been playing Arizona ST, Okie St. Colorado and the likes.
Those teams played 1 tough OOC team and 3 weak sisters. Damon Evans was trying to make us a national brand by having UGA play only 1 weak sister per year.
People forget, we already play a very good Ga. Tech team OOC every year – 14 straight bowls for them – and CPJ is definitely no pushover.

Boise Dawg – I know. I’m just being facitious. I’m just so ticked off at Boise even being in the BCS conversation every year, but not playing in a legit conference. They then say nobody will schedule them, but when Nebraska tries, they won’t pull the trigger. They just look like gutless cowards to me. I like Boise, and have for a long time, as long as they were an anomoly. But when people began to take them too seriously, I’m like “Hey slow down. Good team, but not near enough schedule for a BCS bowl in my opinion”
It’s not about beating a good team on occasion. It’s about the physical grind of a legit conference, week in and week out. It’s about playing at South Carolina, Arkansas, at Mississippi ST., at Colorado, UT, Vandy, UF in J’Ville on consecutive weeks. Playing Cam at Jordan Hare. Facing CPJ every year. Not this mamby pampy stuff. The WAC may occasionally beat a good team, but they couldn’t take the grind week in and week out.
Ask Dan Hawkins of Boise, then of Colorado. Great at Boise, pitiful at Colorado. Same coach, different level of football on a weekly basis.
Or better yet, ask Jim Donnan.

Boise Dawg,
If we were going to play them I would rather do it later in the season. The hype up to these kick-off games has a way of distracting teams and an early loss coupled with an emotional let down usually leads to a subsequent loss. Example:VT 2010
I also don’t ever remember UF losing an opening day game by scheduling a scrub for a tune-up. The fact that they can’t get through their SEC schedule undefeated has little effect on UGA going undefeated through the SEC.
We would also lose a home game. If I’m not mistaken AU has played 7 home games this year. How’s that working out for them?
Apart from UGA, Bama, and UT, the rest of the SEC hasn’t played a significant number of OOC games recently. Home field is a big advantage, so I suggest we use it.

StevenW- That game was called by PAC10 officials. I was at a high school bball game in LA wearing a UGA hat and the man next to me begin to talk to me about the bowl game. He happened to be one of the officials reffing the game. He told me he had never seen a team more over matched than HI. Then he told me he had reffed several USC games that year and UGA was hands down the best team in the country.

Well in ‘012 Boise plays BYU, Miami of Ohio, and at Michigan State so far. Now if they would schedule Nebraska in there, we might be talking about a semblance of a schedule.
And this is a master stroke by McGarity/Richt. Crummy team, we get everybody talking about the Boise game, it helps recruiting big time. And we have a real shot at beating Boise. Even losing Houston and Green, we’ll have the most experience depth we’ve had in a long time. And give Granthem that long to prepare, and another year in the 3-4, I think we can take’em. Maybe not in a rout, but a 27-24 type score.

SoCal Dawg – All these Richt haters on here, but really, UGA probably had the best team in the country twice in the past 9 years. But scheduling and luck are just such huge parts on winning a title.
Look at Oregon this past weekend. The Cal kicker gets a motion penalty, almost unheard of – then botches a 29 yard chip shot FG, and Oregon wins by 2. That’s luck, and if they win the title (and I hope they do, anybody but Boise or TCU please), it will be that luck.
UT and LSU had that luck in ‘07 – keeping UGA out of the SEC Title game, and keeping them from the National Title game. It all comes down to scheduling and luck sometimes.

I am surprised no one else has mentioned this – as a season ticket holder I am opposed to moving any home game out of Sanford Stadium. The Dome seats around 23,000 less fans if I am not mistaken. At $45 per ticket, that’s a lot of money it would cost UGA. Do the math! As an alumni, I am still opposed. The Athletic Department asks us for more money too often, keeping up with some other schools, getting way ahead of some as well. Who pays? Season ticket holders, primarily.
I have no interest in moving a home game to downtown Atlanta for many reasons. I am real close to tire of everything going on, and I am sure I am not alone. Let’s play ball where we are supposed to for home games.

StevenW I wish they pulled the trigger on Nebraska as well… but they weren’t gutless cowards. Nebraska low balled them. Here is the deal with Boise State’s OOC scheduling.
Their athletic director was a moron and thought after beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl they would be able to get home and home games with other BCS schools. Nobody would do it except Oregon and Oregon State. He then figured if they couldn’t get a return home game out of the deal they should at least get paid.
Boise would draw a huge paycheck for Nebraska because not only would they sell out the stadium, but the game would definitely be on national tv. Boise has a very small athletic budget, so I don’t blame them for wanting a piece of the pie. If Nebraska had been willing to pay $900K like Ole Miss the game would have happened.

And the reason why we don’t schedule at Boise is because we can pay teams $500-$750K to come play us. Boise has a $6.2 million football budget while we make $17.4 million off of ticket sales alone. You would have to give us 11.5% of your budget just to match our offer.

Rich, except for the new coaching staff. In 2005 Fresno St beat Boise St by 20 points. In 2006 Boise St beat them by 24. In 2005 Oregon St beat Boise St by 3. In 2006 Boise St beat them by 28. Oregon St was a much better team in 2006 also. Its pretty safe to say that Boise St improved significantly between the 2005 and 2006 season under their new head coach. Not to mention going from 9-4 to 13-0.

I like Richt, but many uga fans live in a dream world. Jimbo Fisher and company will have the Noles back on top soon…we are eating up the state of Ga in recruiting and parts of fla..even in our down years, we still have the longest bowl streak, and have played in BCS games…

Boise State was just as overrated in 2005 with their “high-powered” offense and star quarterback Zabransky. Georgia showed then that Boise State wasn’t worth the hype (beating them 48 – 13) as they did with Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl in 2008 and they would expose Boise State next season as well.

Where is FSU without him today and where is uga with him? uga , wont play Boise State because that is not a win in the bag. uga doesnt play OOC games unless it is at home or a cake walk. After this season its back to the Homers telling us how they are going to win the SEC and go on from there all while having less of a team than this year.We all know UT, UF will be better.

In ‘04 Boise State was 11-0, but lost to Louisville 44-40 in the Liberty Bowl. ‘05 they came to Athens and were beaten 48-13, but UGA could’ve hung 60 points on them that day…Richt called off the Dawgs in the 3rd qtr. BSU lost3 games that year, and their home bowl game to finish 9-4. ‘06 is when they beat Oklahoma in their bowl game. They were undefeated that year.
If they play in the Dome to begin next year, I’ll put my money on the Dawgs. Bring ‘em on.

Maybe if Dawgs did real good in that one, they could also travel to New Mexico to play Lower Southeastern Monastary…Remember a few years ago when it was widely believed that we couldn’t slow down Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl?

Disregarding all the Tech idiots posting 70-7 Boise predictions. This is a great thing for college football. Georgia will stomp Boise early, thereby removing their fraudulent claim to deserving a shot in the NC.
Sure Boise can sneak up on Oklahoma in a bowl game most of the Sooner players would have rather not even played. But when they play motivated powers that are actually interested in playing, they gets smashed. Just like they did in Athens a few years back.

Allow this UGA grad to show a little respect…FSU, GT, and Boise St all are respectable programs and fun to watch. At the current time FSU and GT are down…in a few years they’ll be back. Boise St is a good team BUT there are a couple hundred high school teams all across the country that go undefeated and that is not sufficient to be a national champ. Boise St DOES control who they play and for over a decade the best they have scheduled is UGA and VTech. Their most prolific offense was no match for a UGA a few yrs back. Some say give ‘em a chance. Well that doesn’t work because every year there are a dozen schools that can say give us a chance. The season’s purpose is to determine who is the best. If BS wants to be considered as a true champ they have to play competitive teams. No less than 25 other teams if given BS’s schedule would also be undefeated.

All right Dogs Smell — here is just a quick look: This year TN has UT Martin, Oregon, UAB & Memphis. GA has Louisiana Layfayette, Colorado, Idaho St., and GA Tech. So, by virtue of Oregon on your schedule — you guys have it tougher this year. Last year, you guys had W. Kentucky, UCLA, Ohio Univ., and Memphis. We had Oklahoma St., Arizona St., TN tech and GA Tech — our OOC schedule was by far tougher. In 2008 you guys had UCLA, UAB, Northern Ill., and Wyoming. We had GA Southern, Central Mich., Arizona State and GA Tech — once again ours was tougher. And this is only looking at the last three years to speed things up. The further you go back — UGA’s OOC looks even tougher. Next year you guys have Montana, Cinncinnati, Buffalo, and Middle TN. Looks like ya’ll are taking a breather next year — and boy does your program need it. We have Lousiville, Coastal Carolina, New Mexico State and GA Tech — so once again our OOC is tougher. So shut your pie hole until you know what the heck you’re talking about.

Sure we’ll play Boise State. It might even offer Mr. Green an excuse to hang around another year…play in what should be a pretty high-profile game and make up for the games he cost us with his ‘poor judgment’. I’m not real optimistic about that but maybe. Plus, as has been said, such a game should provide more incentive for four and five star recruits to ‘hire on’ – particularly if they think they’ll not be red-shirted. Of course if it were left up to me I’d rather be playing USC. We need to get another shot at that Kiffen guy.
How good we’ll be next year? Who knows, but it’s for sure we better figure out how to better utilize whatever speed we’ve got on the defense if we’re gonna have to chase those waterbugs around like we had to West Va that time.

I don’t get how we’ve suddenly become a “middle of the road” SEC team when we’ve had two bad seasons. An 8-5 record in 2009 is bad by our standards but realistically a lot of teams would like to have that many wins in a season. People say it’s because we haven’t won the SEC/division recently but we won it in 2005 and were co-chamions of the East in 2007 (you can debate if you want that Tenn won the East but the SEC officially states that we were Co-champions).

Boise State? A dream come true for Georgia – national exposure – a very good chance to knock off a perennially over-ranked team. Boise is a extrememly well coached team with suprising talent – but very beatable – their record and ranking is due to a pathetic schedule, with 1 or two “big Name” teams sprinkled in. They usually play One major OOC school as their opening game (all summer to prepare, I.e VT this year, Oregon last year) and then a mid level OOC against someone willing to play on that damned blue field. Then they play another “Big Name” school in the Bowl game. – Again having a month to prepare. There is no way they could run the gamut of an SEC Schedule. Playing teams like USC, Miss St, FL, AU, Ark, Bama, etc in consecutive weeks – forget it. If UGA or another mid level SEC team played Boise’s schedule – the WORST they would be at this point is 9-2, and very likely 10-1 or 11-0. Can Boise beat an SEC team? Sure they can – but it’s not about the game against one team from the SEC – it’s the grind. Key player hurt? Tough – go play Auburn. Someone gets suspeneded? Have a nice day – go play at LSU. You don’t get to rest your key players and have them available 2 or 3 times a year – every stinking week is a war.

Get of the OOC argument and learn to win your IC and OOC games. You hate Florida, because they dominate your program, let’s see 18 of 21.

Let’s break it down:
1. UT lost back to back against UCLA in 2008 and 2009, although they had the guts to open on the road. UT also opened with CAL in 2007 on the road, and got their helmets handed to them again.
2. Auburn opens against USC in 2002 and 2003, and get their helmets handed to them also, but at least they opened on the road in 2002 against USC.
These programs get respect from the media. Shall we discuss weak schedules when UGA had the #1 pre-season ranking, then fell in the polls during the first 2 weeks, even though they won, because of a weak schedule. I cannot recall any pre-season #1 ranked program falling in the first 2 weeks due to a weak schedule, so you might want to put the pipe down crackhead.

One last comment for you on this UGA/UF subject. We are both horrible this year. We both have under performed no matter the schedule,We both have sorry offensive coordinators and our defenses cant stop Parkview High School.

The funny thing is that the last time FSU or Miami won a natty was 2001. From 1985 to 2001 UF was a combined 7-14-1 against both teams. It’s not a coincidence that UF only started to “beat them solid” when both programs started to decline. Since then the biggest margin of victory UF has had against Miami and FSU was when they both finished the season 7-6.

You are missing the point, these programs have far more national titles than UGA and will only gain more as they improve. Both programs have better coaching and an overall better program than your mickey mouse operation in Athens.
Put your money where your mouth is, open with either in Miami or Tallahasse, since you think these programs are toast. That’s right, you won’t because of tradition and you want to win the opener.

Interception,
Don’t you see what McGarrity is doing?
He is telling Richt by scheduling this game that it is put up or shutup time.
Grantham was Richt’s idea so next year, the defense better work a lot better or there won’t be a year 3.
Playing Boise and winning is what Richt desperately needs. Hopefully, it will cause a higher focus during the summer and keep the boys out of trouble.
Playing this game is less risky than playing an improving Louisville team that could be overlooked. Losing to Boise won’t be the end for Richt but losing to Louisville surely would be the end.

Wow – certainly a lot of chest thumping on here this morning for a game that hasn’t been scheduled yet.
My favorite was the Tennessee fan who was boasting how tough UT’s OOC is compared to UGA’s. Didn’t UT pay to get out of a home and home with UNC? A basketball school from the ACC?
The claims that UGA would be unbeaten with BSU’s schedule are also nuts – a team that loses to Colorado can lose to Nevada or Fresno State – not to mention Oregon State and VT

I think after this year we should schedule our three weakest opponents , non conference , the first three game to get the team ready for competition and any suspensions out of the way. I hate playing South Carolina every year the second game. Most of the time we don’t even have our starters set by then and some of our best players are being suspended for selling things on E-BAY.
If we play Boise it would be better to play them after a few games or late in the season. I’m not scared to play them but you are taking a huge chance playing such a formidable opponent that early.

75-76-Dawg – What you are talking about is the UF model. Schedule 3 very week OOC teams at home to go with the game against FSU and the SEC games. McGarity said that is the model he wants as well (substituting GT for FSU). I am a little surprised at the rumors on UGA-BSU at the Ga Dome, but maybe he is trying to give the program a jolt after this year’s poor record.

I think CMR should simplify the playbook and play as many freshmen as possible , that would help recruiting the most. If LeMay is ready I think we should play a two quarterback system and use both LeMay’s and Murray’s strengths. That is what Florida has done and since they don’t have a dominate QB like we don’t that is not a bad thing. I like competition between two QB’s , it brings out the best in both players. But only if LeMay is worthy and ready.

He told me that Cam Newton wanted to play at Mississippi State, but that a specified payment would have to be made. I reported the conversation to the Mississippi State Athletic Department. I was told by the Athletic Department that Mississippi State would not respond to the overture that was made to me, and that Mississippi State would continue to recruit Cam Newton as it does any other football recruit.”

Mississippi State is committed to operating our athletics programs within the rules of the NCAA and Southeastern Conference, and we expect those affiliated with our program to continue to do the same.”

He said the FBI reached out to his attorney earlier this week wanting to talk with him about the Newton situation, in particular if kids were being shopped out to colleges. That meeting was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but was postponed by the FBI until next Tuesday. “Until I speak with the FBI, I’d prefer not to say much more,”

Preparing for a one time game is one thing. Playing week to week in the SEC is another due to that little thing called attrition. Can BSU survive playing every week in the SEC… NO! They don’t have the speed, athleticism, or depth. They would be destroyed. After a tough game against Nevada, they can hide their star WR, DE, or LB against New Mexico State, Idaho, or Utah State. They’re not hiding them against Auburn, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, etc. etc. But one thing they do is prepare well for one-time big games. I think playing us next year would be a good game. I don’t think we’d see the same BSU team we did a few years ago. I’m all for it but I’d rather do it in Athens. Why not play in the best football venue in Georgia?

UGA has not been competitive since 1982. By way they way, feel free to open with Miami or FSU on the road, beat them solid, then come see me.
Dude we have been in the top ten 6 of the last 10 years. We finished the last decade with the 4th best overall record in CFB.
I love the idiots who are kicking us when we are down and saying things like UGA has never been good. Mediocre program etc. Thats all crap and they know it.
UGA is 11th all time in CFB wins
UGA has the third most SEC Championships all time (12)
Go ahead. Kick us while we are down. I guarantee you we dont stay down for long. Our long history of winning says that much.
O BTW last time we played Fla St on a neutral field we beat em. Next…..

You know what cracks me up reading Georgia fans that say the Dawgs have nothing to gain by scheduling this? The fans here in Boise feel the same way. They would rather play Florida, Alabama or LSU. The revenge factor from 2005 is the only motivation…. but they are concerned about traveling across the country to play an “average” SEC team. If Boise wins everyone will say Georgia isn’t any good anymore… there is no upside other than $$.

Think about this Dawg fans, this game could potentially be against the defending BCS champion. If Auburn loses or gets busted by the FBI/NCAA it very well could be BSU v. Oregon and I know Boise is capable of beating Oregon.

The SEC is like Poland between Hitler and Stalin. No matter where it comes from you are going to lose. The SEC states that Boise State could not play the SEC schulule and win. If Georgia wins they should have because they are in the SEC. If they lose they let down the whole conference. Where is TCU when you need them.

In 2005 they told us the Dawgs were stupid to schedule Boise St as an opening game. The analysts all picked Boise to destroy us. Anyone remember the score? 40 something to 7 UGA?

William C. Smith… at least for Georgia after a loss they have a chance to move on and play and win big SEC games. The game is all or nothing for Boise State. They beat Georgia and everyone outside of Athens says big deal they should have won, Georgia isn’t very good. If they lose, everyone will say Boise is a complete fraud they just lost to an average SEC team.

Mr. Berdanis… complete and utter BS. Nobody picked Boise to destroy Georgia in 2005. I challenge you to find one expert that did. Georgia was ranked much higher and favored to win the game. Some thought Boise might give Georgia trouble, but nobody thought they would destroy Georgia.

You are absolutely wrong Boise Dawg — don’t come on here spewing BS. In 2005 UGA had a lot of question marks coming into their opener because of the loss of many key players and senior leaders. Boise State was riding a lot of momentum coming into their season opener — especially after their bowl game success. A lot of the prognosticators were picking Boise to upset Georgia. If you don’t beleive me, go back and read some of the articles from 2005. Fanblogs.com, 3 Sep 05 is a good summary. Shut your pie hole if you don’t know what you’re talking about and can’t back it up with anything except for your made-up fantasy BS.

CMR is no fool. He will open with Georgia Southern, with UGA underdogs by 3 points. A win would be a jump start to the season.

Blue, totally agree with your statement about UGA looking in to past, that is all they can do. For the one blogger to say that UGA would pound Boise, because they beat them a few years ago is assinine, but what else is new around Athens. All they can do is look backwards, because there is nothing to look forward to.
The new saying around UGA is…”failure is an option.”

AFDawg, you can back up your program when you cut the smack and start winning some key games. You are the typical Dog fan that can only yeal and scream when someone criticizes your program, but your fans do not have the brass set required to gut the coaching staff and start over.
You know if you fire CMR, there is not much out there in terms of coaching talent ot come to Athens. Kirby Smart and Will Muschamp already gave you the middle finger, which speaks volumes how broke the UGA program is. When you’re own players don’t come back, you know you have issues.

Nice stats, but where are those national titles? You are the typical UGA fans who attempts to salvage your mediocre program by throwing out some useless statistics?
Where are the national titles in your statistics? Just remember the Nielsen Ratings do not count.

Is there a Dog fan on this site willing to have the balls to call for CMR’s resignation now….no, because mediocre is acceptable in Athens. Alabama drives for titles, Florida drives for titles, LSU drives for titles, USC drives for titles, and even Texas drives for titles, but UGA seems to be satisfied with some useless statistics and only 2 Heismans in 118 years.
Sad, very sad.

What Boise is really saying is “we are going to be like every other Pac-10 team, we will come down there, kick your a##, get style points and go home. End of argument.
Ref: Cal, UCLA and USC as previously mentioned. Those SEC homies do not understand there has never been a BCS title game with a Pac-10 vs. an SEC school, however, this could be the year with Oregon and Auburn and my money is on Oregon.

The line has already been set – 6 – If Richt can keep 6 of his top 40 players from being suspended the first game, they can win.

I would love to see this game! Georgia better get off their butts and start playing good ball again! I DO NOT think they should have it in the Georgia Dome. It should be in Athens! Don’t schedule a big game and take away the home field!! That’s stupid! Also, playing in a dome actually benefits Boise much more so than Georgia. Bad idea.
