Bo weevil said: “Aaron Murray, 6-6 as Starting Quarterback at Georgia, was out-performed head-to-head by 6 opposing Quarterbacks this season, losing all 6 games as a DIRECT RESULT. Georgia ended the regular season # 73 in the nation in gaining 1st Downs this year.”

You are an idiot. He had one bad game all year. we score over 30 about 9 times. 2,900 yards, 24TD’s, 6 INT’s.

That proves you are a Tech fan: you know nothing about football. tell your mom I said Hey

Will the real UGA 2010 MVP please stand up?

Kris Durham was the real UGA MVP in 2010. He played as a fifth year senior, he played hurt and he usually caught the balls thrown his way. He was a leader. He, unlike Green, could be counted on.

AJ Green will be forgotten by 98% of the UGA alumni ( we matter, not stay at home on Mom’s pc bangers ) and that is that. AJ Green was the most DAMAGING PLAYER in 2010 for UGA and Ealey and Caleb King were tied for second place.

UGA needs to get two great backs form somewhere in this recruiting class. Neither of the UGA returning running backs is any good. See Ealey’s stupid fumble into the end zone vs MSU. See Caleb King late fumble vs Colorado. See Ealey’s many other game costing fumbles ala SC and Arkansas. See Ealey’s KY game in 09.

Richt will be fired by the end of 2011 or he resigns. Either way, UGA fans ( alumni ) must endure another brutal season. 2012 and beyond we will be fine.

Go Dogs.

Naming a Clint Boling as a top caliber UGA linemen of the decade. proves that kids around 15, 19 hang out and post on the UGA site. They have not a clue. The two Stinchcomb bros were better than he ever was.
10 years back, they were in the 3rd grade …………………what do they know?

How did Greg Blue make the team? Wasn’t he the safety that would be sitting on his butt as the other team ran for a td because he couldnt keep hit feet under him?

David Greene as QB, HELL yes. When I was 14, he was my celebrity crush. He was talented, attractive, well-spoken, stayed out of trouble…Shame he never did anything in the NFL. Man I miss the years of the two Davids.
