GT never lied dip stick. They just did something they weren’t supposed to do. Richt did the same thing here. He did something he wasn’t supposed to do. Tech did everything he NCAA asked except for not telling Paul Johnson.

Being a long time observer of SEC football, I have determined that the most ignorant fan base belongs to Bama. They are obsessed with Auburn and will not accept the fact that Auburn has beaten them seven of the last nine games. They need to move on and get use to it. At least Bama is bettter than UAB and Troy. have a nice day, Spike. P.S. I’m not an Auburn fan. either.

Actually GT Fan and jacket31, Tech was punished for not cooperating with the NCAA investigation, not merely rule breaking. Nice spin, though.

Thank god for Ohio St, allows a couple of you boobs to be funny and say that’s who you were referring to. And talk about lying, please, I get it being an accident once (really I don’t, but I’ll play along), but that Einstein coach of yours did it twice. Tell the truth and say that you texted the kid or his father intentionally. Instead, you expect everyone to believe that stupid “accidental” crap. That just shows how lame the NCAA is. It’s okay to break the rules, it’s just how you explain it and “cooperate” while doing so that matters. And for the record, I think getting in trouble for texting is silly, but that’s not the point. If you don’t think it’s a lie to say it was an accident then you really are troubled.

And I also agree that our AD screwed up royally, and I think somebody within our department should answer to this. Even if the punishment (vacating the title) doesn’t fit the crime it’s still inexcusable. But hey, at least our AD didn’t drive around drunk with somebody other than his wife’s panties in his lap….remember Dawgies, he could have killed somebody that night. Now you tell me, which high ranking official at the two institutions screwed up worse in the grand scheme of things? Remember, be witty with your BS answers.

Of course the kid’s dad sent the text. You don’t really think one of Mark Richt’s recruits can read, do you.

One day, all of Richt’s cheating and sleaze will come back to haunt dawgturds. For now, I guess the people of this state will just have to put with the continuing embarrassment of Saint Mark and his gang.

“In 2005, Tech went on two years’ probation because it used 17 athletes in four sports (11 in football) that it should have ruled academically ineligible. It lost scholarships and was forced to vacate rules. Now it has been hit with four years’ probation in football and basketball, fined $100,000 and must vacate records from the last three games of the 2009 football season (including the ACC title-game win over Clemson) because it acted stupidly when confronted with charges of using an ineligible player (Demaryius Thomas)”

“I talked to him (Jenkins) about it (at Friday Night Lights).” Williams said. “Everybody was trying to get him. He said it was between either Florida or Alabama, but I got a good feeling he will (be a Gator).”

….Quinteze Williams, Stephenson DE and Florida commit.

PoopDawg……

My prediction…..he will pee in his pants in game one and Tyler Murphy will come in and win the game for Florida…..and…he will then start again against Ala-Birm….and pee in his pants again…and Tyler will rescue us again. Tyler will then start against the Vols and Florida goes 3-0….and then 4-0….leading into the Bama game.

Driskell is not ready to play in the SEC as a starter this year….not yet anyway. Weis stated in the spring that Driskell has the skills….but needs time to learn the offense and become a leader in the huddle. Driskell is very good….but watch out for the 4th QB…..Brissett. He is a big time pocket passer and may beat out Driskell in the long run. But that is a good problem for the Gators to have…..vs. going into a season wondering how often Brantely will pee in his pants during games.

Beast from the East…….

Did you watch the spring game.,,,,,more of the same from the 8-5 year…..except he was much worse. I am sure Weis will keep it very simple for him….because I think that is all he can handle. Brantley has the physical tools to be a good SEC QB…..but unfortunately…..I don’t think he has the innate mental skills to play the postion effectively in the SEC. I hope I am wrong…..and I am surprise in a major way. That would be great for all Gator fans…..but everyone I run into….that is a Gator fan….is fretting the start of the season with Brantley at QB.

Tampa Gator,
Yes, I saw the spring game but you have to remember that we had so many players out that it will be a totally different deal when they start practice for the fall. I still have hope for Brantley. The coaching staff last year didn’t do him any favors with their game-plans and play-calling.

and….Beast from the East…..

I raved about Brantley last summer…..based on everything I read about his play in practice leading up to game one (when he wears the protective jersey and can’t be hit). Then…..we all know the rest of the story from last year. He is just not a natural QB….you can just see it when he is on the field. Usually…..the innate skills don’t improve….you either have them (like Murray at Georgia…who does not have the natural passing skills that Brantley has….but is an innate QB on game day) or you don’t….and I don’t think Brantley has those kind of naturally born skills. Murphy does. Driskell does. Brissett does. So the future is very bright at QB for Florida….but this year….I am very concerned.

How long ago was it the CMR accidentally made the text. I know it’s been awhile. If it takes the NCAA this long to rule on that, then Jarvis Jones will never see the field this year. And yes, at this point in time I think I’m for the major schools to pull out from the NCAA.

The athletic history of UGA is full of so many sordid, sleazy incidents – dating back to Vince Dooley and continuing through Mark Richt – that it’s impossible to overlook. The school has come to stand for drunkenness and lawlessness, coddling of illiterate athletes who should never have been admitted to college, and rampant cheating by coaches.

Cheating is just a way of life in Athens.

After the trial Kemp spoke to The New York Times, saying, “All over the country, athletes are used to produce revenue. I’ve seen what happens when the lights dim and the crowd fades. They’re left with nothing. I want that stopped.”

No school or institution can escape those comments. Every school or institution has at least ONE professor, instructor, or administrator who was either fired or demoted and disgraced for exposing the truth. Am I to believe, in a school full of engineers, scientists, and future astronauts, that cheating for athletes isn’t going on? Stop it. Instead of arguing about what school has the most morons, realize that the vast majority of those MORONS are African American, who are attending the finest state institutions, and NO ONE THERE CARES TO PROPERLY EDUCATE THEM UNLESS THEY ARE MAKING SOMEONE MONEY. That’s why the NCAA only requires they pass 9 hrs a semester. The system is set up to create morons. Face it, college football is a meat market and an indirect form of modern slavery. If these young men can digest an entire playbook and the myriad of audibles, they all possess the intelligence to obtain a meaningful degree. Every institution should have no less than a 75% rate of successful completion for players who spent 4 years on campus. Anything less is shameful.

Must be getting closer to kick off time. All the jerks are out in force and can’t wait for a new article with anything about UGA, to spout their pathetic attempt at being witty.
If any of these negative blogger had half an ounce of brains, they would realize that psychological warfare, only works when they person can deliver it in person to a captive audience. Like a prisoner for instance. Interestingly enough, they are the prisoners of their own stupidity, so they are actually the ones being persuaded in their own minds, not the UGA fans. UGA fans have already won, because the prisoners are are already so worried, that they are trying to form barriers and platforms for their defense. In other words, you are gonna get your butt handed to you when UGA plays you, so you have set up your
defensive mechanisms ahead of time. Fear is your motivator, not superior skills or intelligence. You fear UGA and are jealous of the players, the team, the coaches, the fans and the great institution it is. I feel sorry sort of in a way, a soldier feels, just before he pulls the trigger, to end the enemies life. It leaves such a mess if you do it right.

No only has he failed miserably, but he turns a blind eye to the obvious violations. He is the last one to find out about them. I have a dream that one day the SEC will discipline it’s on before the NCAA has to step in. Getting rid of Slive will be a start.

You guys just can’t stand an honest, upright and clean living coach can you? Richt will make some mistakes but will never stoop to the level of some other coaches and all your bad mouthing him will not change that. He will be head coach at UGA for many, many years, and the real Bulldog fans will be glad he is there.

This is a non-event, just like the GT thing. The NCAA doesn’t do its job. If they were, they wouldn’t be getting ready to let Ohio State off with a wrist-slap. Giving GT four years was absurd. This text thing isn’t worth talking about. But why did the NCAA allow the 5 OSU players to play in the Sugar Bowl when they KNEW that they were guilty of violations ? The NCAA is a corrupt lawman, and they don’t even realize that they will ruin college football for all of us.

Hey Tampa Gator, at least he makes men out of his 2 star players. All Richt does is teaches them to read the bible from their prison cell. You guys got pushed around and bit@h slapped in your bowl game. Sorry about the Plancher kid, but there is no guarantees in life. Except Uga thinking they’re a national championship team at 8-3…

Well folks, the week has arrived. We can all sit back for the next few weeks, read the blogs, hope all of our players are eligible and have all the optimism in the world that this will be “our”(insert your school here) year.

The violations committed by Coach Richt is a shame. Why is it a shame? Because the NCAA and the Rules committee decided a few years ago to stop the text messaging during certain periods that were former evaluation periods, stop the spring and summer evaluation period, stop coaches from visiting school and “bumping” into players. All these additional rules on top of the other rules that have become outdated just add more misery to ANY coach who wants to work year round to insure the players he and his staff are recruiting are doing well academically, are hanging around the right people, and are not being “shopped” by some “family agent”. These rules are not made for the coaches who work hard, they are made for the coaches who do not live football 365.

Coaches have enough responsibility on campus to insure their current players are attending class, making their grades, working out, and doing all the right things to be a “student-athlete”.

If we want to see our programs do better jobs of providing these young athletes with the best opportunities to leave school with a degree in their hand, then we need to allow the coaches, administrators, and compliance staffs to have access to these students while they are in their senior year of high school to start the education process of what is expected of them and what are rule violations that effect players and schools during their recruitment.

One more thing, the old rule of ‘Laundry money’ needs to return. If a kid is given a few bucks each week the kid is less likely to go out and try to sell something that is traceable and more times than not will land him on the forefront of one of these blogger’s website.

Good luck to you and your school, and hoping the SEC makes it 6 in a row.

Jorge….

Do you really think that Georgia team….at the end of the year and playing in Memphis…..really cared about playing UCF in a bowl game……they had not interest or motivation for that game…..sorry to say, because they were representing the SEC still. For UCF……it was the biggest bowl game ever. But….Georgia’s effort in the game was pathetic…..as UCF still barely won the game. So don’t crow about the win too much. UCF would win, at most 5 games a year playing in the SEC. Be glad you play in the conference you play in…..and having the opportunity to play in Memphis each year. SEC teams have higher goals………and play in Memphis type bowls to get extra practice…mainly…..but Georgia should have had more pride….and given more effort….in that game. It was an embarrassment to Dawg fans….and to the SEC, for sure.

Hey Gator, all of your points are duly noted. Yes, Ucf was out classed and out talented. Doesn’t it bother you that Richt couldn’t motivate them or hang the pride tag on them at halftime? This team hasn’t done crap with the talent they get since Van Gorder left, and CMR keeps throwing assistants under the bus….

Laughing at Tampa Gator’s meltdown. Like a Dawg returning to its vomit, let’s keep returning to the same 2 parties that have run the country so well.

saw your last comment……come on down to Florida with right wing, extreme thinking….and ask all those who voted TEA Party for the Gov and the Senate last time in this state…..and ask them how it is working out for them……currently…..barely over 20 percent in Florida think it is working well for them. But…..I am a moderate thinker……like the first Bush, like Ronald Reagan in his second term…and, yes, Mr. Clinton in his second term…..all of which were excellent Presidents and served our country well. We need more moderatation……and less extreme on the left and the right.

Why is it when Mark Richt has anything negative come out whether true or not true, some people have to go to mocking his faith? I find it also amazing that so many non-Dawg fans get on this site and make comments. It sure is great to be a Georgia Bulldog!!!!!

Tampa Gator,

Wow!. Got your Pinellas County blood boiling this morning didn’t he? Speaking for us folks in the NW side of Hillsborough County, the Libertarian view point is more in line with most folks around here. Conservative on Financials, and liberal on Social issues.

Good luck to your gators, I think Will M, will do a good job for you guys, but the jury is still out on Charlie and what he will bring to the table. Either way, the talent at UF is loaded and I think they will surprise many folks expecting UF to have a second moderate year.

This is really not about the NCAA slamming SEC schools. This is about the operation of each Compliance office at each school and how they honestly operate and how the coaches of each sport, administrators of each Athletic Department approach the responsibilities they have do their jobs. The compliance department at UGA seems to be doing their jobs pretty well, and are proactive in turning over what is deemed as a violation to the SEC and the NCAA. The NCAA does not act unless a report is filed to the SEC and then onto them either by a school about a violation they committed, by another school that is deemed to have merit, or by a student athlete and/or prospect with information about a violation.

From reading this and other reports the NCAA is using this particular case as an final warning to UGA staff members to control and closely monitor their text/phone calls and any further wrong doing shall be dealt with harshly as a repeated violation. The Compliance staff and Coaches staff at UGA should be commended for turning over the violation and the evidence associated with it. I am not a UGA fan, I am a SEC fan, seeing schools make right decisions always ends up with the school being treated fairly and honestly by the SEC and the NCAA. the staff at UGA did the right thing and this is more like being on “double secret probation” in regards to texting and phone calls and is a slap on the wrist.
Look at what happened at Tech where the compliance officer did not follow the written rules and now over a minor violation committed by one or two players is costing innocent players a championship won on the field with the so called stripping of titles and wins. In the end the rules in place now do not reflect the changes made in social media, and mobile technologies over the past 10 years and until the NCAA recognizes the communication processes have change the harder it is going to be to enforce some rules.

Donnan succeeded in getting Coach Beamer to invest in Ponzi; Beamer said he got his money back (and how much more?). Was Beamer in collusion w/Donnan wherein Beamer’s success was predetermined in order to dupe others to invest? Come on, let’s get busy!

We got off topic here obviously since we should be discussing how Mark richt is a sleazy slimeball who obviously cheats on his wife, his taxes and purposely sent those text messages that said nothing and immediately told the compliance office about it as a way to deflect from the fact that he really was cheating but it had been so long since he had done it he failed to know how and couldn’t do it properly so he turned himself in to make it seem like he is a crook since Auburn won the title with a bunch of crooks he figured he needed to do it too since none of his players have been arrested in 2011.

First, UGA lost 10-6 which is not a “bitch slapping.”

Second, Yeah we lost to a conference USA team in our bowl game, UCF, but that same Georgia team beat Tech; so, what does that make Tech?

Tech engineer,

You might want to think about your last statement there. The punishment was handed down because Tech. is accused of hindering and not cooperating in the investigation. Now, I don’t think you will need your slide rule to figure out that the people accused of hindering the investigation are your AD, compliance Dept. and your head coach. You might also want to consider that Tech. was on probation just a couple of years ago as well. Can you say, repeat offender?
