If we win the first two, it will be a special year. If we split the first two, 9-3 is the best we can hope for. If we lose the first two, we might not recover. Starting with Boise St. will hopefully give some focus to the offseason preparation, like 2005.

0-2. Richt on hot seat the rest of the year. Fired after season. Next coach, who is firmly committed to coaching football hopefully, comes in and wins with this past recruiting class.

I just hope McGarity hires a real coach, not some half-assed “nice guy” former QB.

No tough games? What ever. Every game in the SEC is tough.

• Report this comment

Ok, first two games are losses, both Boise St and South Carolina are pre-season top 10 teams. Georgia’s coming off a 6-7 season, just trying to win more than 6 games, ok? Other losses are MSU, Auburn & of course Florida, Richt’s afraid of the Gators. So, should finish 7-5 as the rest of the teams on the schedule will have losing records as usual, but, Richt usually finds a way to lose to one of those too, it was Colorado last season, so now you’re back to 6-6.

It’s an easy schedule after the first two games. Easy enough for Richt to keep his job, which may or may not be a good thing.

I think we are just good enough for him to stay another year (due to the fanatical support of our more religious fans) but not good enough to win the east.

1) I support Richt. He has shown that he can be a good coach and I will support him while he is the coach.

2) I think we can win against Boise State and South Carolina.

3) If you are a true dawg fan have some faith and stop screaming for your coach’s head you fairweather fans.

4) This is not an easy schedule. No SEC team has an easy schedule.

Didn’t we have to hear this same crap a few years ago? How will poor little Georgia handle playing against powerhouse Boise State? They were supposed to “handle” Georgia that year too and what was that score again? Yea, it was an embarrassment as the Dawgs killed them. I know that was several years back but the outcome will be the same. I know that Georgia was terrible last year but things should be turned around now. I think it will be close but the Dawgs pull it out in the end. GATA!!!!

The bright side is Murray will throw for 3000 yards and 25 touchdowns again.

Murray will have big games against New Mexico, might put up 5 like he did against La Laffeyette last season.

I also expect Murray to play big against Coastal Carolina. Look for 4 td minimum there.

Vanderbilt? Please, no match for Mighty Murray. Another 4 td day.

Murray will play well against Tech too, a 4 td day.

Mark Richt will turn it around and have a great year. I can’t understand why so many DAWG fans want Richt gone. He is the best coach in school history. In the 17 years between Herschel and Richt, UGA never won an SEC title or played in SEC title game. One bad season in the toughest conference in the country does not wipe out his great record.

After last year, I cannot believe any UGA fans are making predictions about how good UGA will be this coming season. If someone would have told me last years squad, with a phenomenal year from Murray, would have finished anything less than 9-3, I would have said he/she was nuts. But, that’s exactly what happened–despite a good year from Murray, the dogs posted a losing record.

Great to be excited about a good recruiting class, but this UGA fan has nothing to say about how we will do next year–and no other sensible fan should either.

If MR makes the changes needed it should be a great season. He needs to get a running game, an hard-nosed OL, a defense to stop run, less penalties, a kicker to kick it in the endzone, a better kick off cover team, a gutsty play caller, take some chances, a DL coach, an upbeat practice schedule, better strength and conditioning, no swimming!SEC!, PLAY THE BEST PLAYERS, LEADERSHIP!, AND SO ON.

Canton – I would say that history has taught us to be pessimistic.
AM’s improvements might be offset by drop in WR play.
Crowell might be great, might not. Wasn’t overwhelmed by him when he played my Grangers on ESPN.
OL returned 5 starters last year and was terrible. Now gotta get used to a new coach too.
Yeah, DL should improve. Again, though, coaching change could affect us here, at least early.
But LB loses our best defender of the last 2 seasons.
Agreed, special teams should be very solid.
Secondary? Maybe. We’ll see.

Last few years, it has looked for all the world like the pieces were there for a really good season. Hard to get my hopes up anymore. I’ll cheer like crazy. But if I’m honest, I’m skeptical.

I can speak from experience that the trip to boulder is actually very easy. It’s much easier then trying to get a few of the outposts you have to visit in conference. Boulder is essentially a suburb of Denver so once you get into Denver, which is just over a 3 hour flight, it’s basically just a short drive out to Boulder.

Cantondawg…good analyis, or good as any posted.

Prognosticating on how many wins or which teams we’ll beat and to which we’ll lose is quite an exercise. Even saying the season’s over if we lose to Boise and SC is a pretty negative outlook; we ‘could’ win the rest of the games.

IF Jenkins is a force in the middle, we could have a formidable D. IF we can run the ball with authority we should do well. Gotta run the ball and stop the run in the SEC. Do those two things consistently and we’ll have a pretty good season. Do those two things consistently and we ’should’ be able to beat anybody on our schedule. Hopefully A Murray will improve. Believe it or not, we have some pretty good WRs (and TEs). Who’s to say one won’t step up and have as good a year as AJ had?

Saying which teams we’ll beat and to which we’ll lose is near-futile. We thought there was no way to lose to Colorado or Ms State or UCF…and a LOT of people thought we’d beat S.C (and Flawduh and Awbun) at the start of last season. Saying Ole Miss and Kentucky (and Vandy for that matter) are automatic wins is ludicrous. No game is automatic except Coastal C.

Having a bye week before Flawduh is good, I guess. We’ve been having our bye weeks way too late in the season; before Awbun last year. Waiting until the Tech game is way too late.

Back to the subject: It is a fairly favorable schedule. Should be much easier than last year.

Richt did less wiht more talent than anyone in the SEC in 2010. Murray couldn’t beat a winning team. 2 coaches quit. AJ & Houston opted to leave their Jr. year. 67, no wins against winning teams, 0-6. Wow.

How the mighty have fallen.

I figure Georgia didn’t beat a top 25 team last year so this year. they might be a little better, but expecting them to go from 0-5 against top 25 teams to 5-0 is off. Let’s look at it. You got 2 top 10 teams in South Carolina & Boise St. Then 3 more top 25 match ups against Auburn, Florida, and Mississippi State. Let’s say Georgia gets through that, somehow pulling off 2 wins. 2-3 record.

Then you look at the 2nd tier of the schedule: Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia Tech and Ole Miss. Georgia usually beats mediocre talent, but loses a game each year that no one expects. Let’s put them at 3-1 here.

Then you have the little 3, NM St, Vandy, and C Carolina. 3-0 here for sure, even with back ups.

So you got an 8-4 season. Now, if 2 of those wins are against Florida and South Carolina, you win the SEC East.

So Georgia will imporve, the key games are the big 5: Boise, South Carolina, Auburn, Florida, and Miss St. Lost to 5 out of 5 of top 25 matchup last season.

If Richt goes less than 3-2 against the big 5, top 25 teams, he needs to be fired.

After going 7-5 in 09′ with Cox, you’d think Richt would figure out a way to get back on track. But he follows that up with a 6-6 year? man, nothing he thought would work did. You got to wonder about a guy’s judgment after 2 dead end seasons in a row.

People forget that we had a freshman QB who btw almost broke some records as a freshman and I think he did. We were also under our first 3-4 defense. We had no experience under that. The 3-4 is so much more complex than the 4-3 and we had to learn it and only had 12-13 games to perform it. With another spring practice, then on to traning camp, these guys will be ready to roll.

How many wins does Coach Richt need to save his job? Think about this. It needs to be enough that McGarity feels confident enough to extend Richt’s contract. I’d say finish in the top 25 or Richt’s out.

Wow… the what have you done for me lately crowd… Every year in the SEC, you have to overcome adversity. Some years its the injury bug (we all remember that but talk to Alabama fans about last year for them). Sometimes you have a magical season, insert Auburn and SC. Is Auburn going to be good next year? Yep. They are Auburn. Are they going to have a magical season? nope. SC? SC had a great turn of fortunes. They happened to be slightly better than they normally are and had the fortune of playing the weakest SEC east that I can ever remember. UF… down, UT… down, UGA… down, UK… below expectations… heck, even Vandy had a down year. I find it humorous that Spurrier languishes at SC for 5 years and then all of a sudden he is “back”. wow.

As for how the season will turn out.

Boise State – win. Sorry, but traveling into a hostile state on the road where you don’t travel well to begin with is going to be a slap down. VT fans are no where near as loud as UGA fans (and we are as loud as others of course). W

SC – This one is a toss up. I believe UGA will be riding high on their win over Boise State and that could spell doom for the game. Having said that, the loss last year, the hype of SC (an unknown for them) this year, and having to play in Athens makes this a you pick em.

Coastal Carolina – W
Ole Miss -W
Miss St – This matchup from last year will be interesting. I believe we will find out whether or not we have a viable D by now. Last year in Starksville, we gave the game away. Look for the team not to do the same this year. W

Tennessee- I see Dooley pulling some Les Miles magic. This game snake bites us because we have a better record than we thought we would have and the Vols have a worse record than they should. Tennesse 27-24. L

Vandy- W
Florida- Even though Muschamp is a proven coordinator and Weis is a proven coordinator, they will struggle in creating the system they need to become dominant again this year. Too much Myer ball over the last 5 years. You have system players for Urban but not for Weis. Look for a W here.
NM State W
Auburn – This is going to be a rub game. I think that Auburn will have the talent to win this game but too much bad taste from last years Fairley fest. Emotion is important and I believe this will equate to a W
Kentucky – Lost too many play makers last year for them to be up this year. W
Ga Tech – Love the techies but the novelty is wearing off of the offense and CPJ does not have the athletes to run his system at a high level. W

Therefore, you can conceivably place UGA at 10-2, 9-3. Having said that, several things could alter that. 1. Injuries to key players — Murray comes to mind or Big Jenkins on the D line. 2. Suspensions/arrests – again a killer for the opening 2 games. 3. We know what we have in the offense with Bobo (and I am not a fan of his play calling by any stretch of the imagination) but we do not know what Grantham will be able to accomplish in year 2. If the 3-4 does not bring UGA’s Defense back to a top 15 D, then of course you could see another long year.

WDE,

As others know, I have lived in ATL for 25 years, pay GA taxes therefore support uga financially – not by choice. I am a sports fan, and support the Buckeyes. I am a big Falcons fan. Braves and Hawks, not so much since the 90′ and Nique/Spud days. I was a Tech fan back in the Cremmins days. I am a Howard ( before he was Trey) Thompkins fan as I watched him in person in nearly every game in high school for 3 of his 4 years ( he spent his Jr. year at Oak Hill in VA in case you didn’t know). Like most football fans, I enjoy SEC football, the rivalries, the story lines. I cried when Uga died. I loved listening to Larry Munson. So, that’s what I’m doing here. Is that good enough for you?

P.S. The 1-9 argument, though not as old as the 0-9 argument, is tired, boring and so yesterday. Just sayin’.

Kind of easy to do when your team only has to play 2 ranked opponents. Imagine if UGA only had to play Florida and LSU. They’d at least beat one of those teams and would probably beat out the rest of the unranked teams. Well, not last year’s UGA squad, but a normal UGA team.

WDE,

I agree Pryor and Newton are similar in size, speed and ability to change a game. Newton is a better passer and both played in different offensive systems. I would have liked to have seen an Auburn/Newton – Pryor/OSU match up but it didn’t happen. We didn’t have any problems w/ Mallet.

1: Prior isn’t that good.

Schedule sets up nicely for the typical 9 win season. But the predictions that count UGA beating UF are insane. If you have learned anything since Dooley left UGA, it should be that the one UGA game that is a lock is the UF game. And the lock is that they lose that game regardless of predictions, point spreads, etc. …… like clock work.

For all of you downplaying UCF…it’s the largest school, by student body, in the U.S. They were also conference champions. Yes, we “should have” beat them, but they’re not akin to UAB or The Citadel or something. Fact is, they’d make a good substitute in the SEC over Vandy. Large school; recruits mostly FL; FL is the #1 state in the country for HS recruits, etc. I think overall they’d make a better SEC opponent than Vandy. Vandy could go to Conf USA or the Big East or something.

Speaking of Washaun, he could take lessons from A.Murray about off-field activity suggestions…

Jan Kemp exposed the crap going on at UGA with athletes being enrolled in courses a ten-year-old kid could pass. That was almost three decades ago, and nothing has changed. If anything, the abuses are more blatant today.
