I feel sorry for Coach Richt. He is a great man and I know he is doing all he can to turn this around. I believe we will win the game on Saturday. South Carolinia has had 13 turnovers in the last 3 games. You just stop that. Remember Goff and Donnan teams got into mood. Spurrier sound like he is coming to Athens like he went to Jax in 96. Go Dawgs.

“We’re just coaching ball, OK?”, “….like anything in life, you’ve got to control what you can…”

Wow!
For the second week in a row Richt has raised the white flag of surrender.
We also get a glimpse into this man’s mind in my opinion.
It almost sounds as if he takes whatever comes and “just” coaching ball is not that important to him.

I hope this man has the ability to see the damage he has done and decides to leave with dignity.
It doesn’t sound like Coach Richt has the fire in the belly to win in The SEC.

I hope the Dogs do better this week.
After watching the replay of the game in slow mo,
The D looked clueless against the pass.
Boise receivers just ran to an open spot.
There were too many open spots and our guys were slow to react.

The offensive line looked similarly clueless.
Boise didn’t blitz much at all.
Our line looked like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

The bright spot on D was the run defense.
On offense…the play of the tight ends was all we can hang our hats on.

As much as I hate to say this–the team doesn’t look much better than last year.
I don’t know if the problem is the players, coaches or both.
Whatever it is–it will take VAST improvement to beat SC.

Just some observations from reading Dawg fans comments on this blog. Something to think about: One of the biggest complaints from fans is why Bobo won’t open up the playbook and consequently open up the offense. I think it has a whole lot to do with who’s in the backfield. First off you have a converted linebacker in Samuel who just started learning the position in spring. Secondly, you have a true freshman who has only been in camp 4 weeks at the most.

I’m not sure what quarter it was but at some point in the Boise game Samuel went down and that left just Crowell (not sure where the other guys were) to play the tailback position. I would imagine that Bobo’s playbook shrunk to about a quarter of an inch thick when that happened. Yes, he should open up the play book but in reality I don’t think he could if he wanted to.

It’s way too early to be calling for Richt’s head on a platter. It is one game that doesn’t really matter and after the SC game the schedule gets way easy. UGA could reel off 5 or 6 at least whether they beat SC or not. You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why they line up and play the games.

Glad college football is back.

WOW!!! Richt just pretty much admitted that the offensive line was a complete mess. Two days until game time and he’s talking about Murray being on his back!!!! SC has some big ole defensive ends and now I’m convinced were going to get beat. Richt deep down inside knows it’s over. He made a lot of money and now can do what ever he wants going forward. I’m sure he could get a job at one of the ACC schools if he wished to stay in coaching or he might chose to do mission work. He sounds like a man defeated who has ram out of answers.

I have a feeling the Ole Ball Coach’s offense is going to drop 50 on the Dawgs.If the Dawgs D could not stop a under sized Boise State, how will they stop a well coached Carolina offense.Murray better hope the O line gets a clue or he will be running for his life.A better option may be two tight ends and concentrate on running the ball.Play keep away and control the clock.

I really don’t see how we’re going to beat South Carolina this week. We might hang with them for a few quarters like we did vs. Boise State, but I think their talent and experience is just going to wear us down.

We really lack talent in the trenches, and I tell you what if Aaron Murray doesn’t play better than he did vs. Boise State, I’m fine with us going with someone else. Murray was just awful in that game last week. I’m am clearly underwhelmed by Mr. Crowell and our defense has no heart. If this is what we’re going to do week in and week out, then Richt needs to resign. I can promise you this: if we get blown out vs. South Carolina this week, McGarity will fire Richt regardless of how we finish.

Blah, blah, blah. Richt has no idea. And half the players don’t including the offensive line. Short yardage? You couldn’t gain 2 yards on two downs in the red zone against Boise with a 243 lb. running back? Richt actually has control over a great deal, but he won’t do it. Too stubborn. I honestly believe he’s decided to go out on his own terms rather than have people tell him what to do. Got to respect him for that, but in the end, it will just be more of the same.

Personally, I’m going to reserve judgment until a bit further into the season. However, just a personal observation, Mark Richt has gone through some tough times with the UGA program but this is the first time that I can remember him being so sensitive to the questions that he has gotten for the past two years but never really seemed to phase him.

Now it appears to be really getting to him and the more he tries not to show it, the more he shows how much he is, at least IMHO, feeling the heat. After all, if he were just tired of answering the same questions over again he would just politely shrug it off, as has heretofore been his way. But now he is struggling to maintain his patented calm, cool, and collected demeanor and seems to be coming a bit unhinged. I use the term unhinged in a very relative way as he has not started throwing chairs ala Bobby Knight, but for the coolest coach in town to be so increasingly sarcastic, that is totally out of character when referenced against his entire career at UGA.

We Bulldog fans can only hope that the players can help get it turned around for someone who has been a credit to UGA and has shown in the past an ability to be a good coach and a good example of a fine human being.

How stupid is it to run a no huddle offense when it appears your team is NOT physically fit enough to hurry things up AND your play calling is moronic? All a no huddle offense does in this case is get off the field quicker via a punt and then your defense has had little to no time to rest. Eventually they wear down and a 7-7 game turns into a 28-7 game. Sound familiar?

To all of the “it’s just one game” people –

Seriously? Those of us that are frustrated and being somewhat negative about the coaches are very passionate about the team and reacting to 3-4 years now of a downhill slide where they keep getting worse every year, not better. I’m not expecting them to win a NC every year or even the SEC or SEC East every single year like some nutso fans but we the amount of talent we consistently get we should at least be competitive every year and in the conversation, in the picture.

Are we seriously expected as fans to just sit there accept a 3-4 year downward slide into mediocrity, see all those talented players never coached up to their potential and just be cool with it? Somebody made the point in the comments on another article that I really liked – a lot of the big talent we recruit, these guys are superstars in high school and often times go on to be top notch NFL players. Yet when they’re at UGA they’re kind of mediocre and never live up the hype or potential. What happens to them at UGA? I can’t really think of anything except not being coached up.

• Report this comment

You can trace the slide back to when we’d eel out a win against heavy underdogs and Richt would give us quotes like “any win is a great win”. Other coaches would burn red hot when their team played down to an opponent seeing an opportunity for obvious and needed improvement.

Once you become complacent and do not demand excellence, mediocrity takes hold and good luck getting anything better.

Some observations from a GT fan after reading most all of the negative comments from recent blogs by UGA “fans”:
.UGA fans must race reality….no team can win every game.
.UGA fans have a right to their opinions about CMR and Bobo but they should refrain from nasty comments that many of them make.
.UGA fans should be thankful for what they have. Some of these blessings include a financially strong atheletic association, great facilities, the ability to recruit top talent, etc.
. Just one losing season in 10 years does not justify a coach like CMR to be fired. Get a life UGA fans.

The only patience that should be wearing thin is the season ticket holders and the boosters that contribute a lot every year, as well as any that support the team.. The problem with making 3 million dollars a year is you lose perspective as to the fact that you are making in one year what the average high paying job makes in a life time. You start feeling that you don’t have to answer to the fans and that you are better than and smarter than everybody. Most of the questions that I had heard that get’s CMR really ticked off has been raised for 3 years now by a lot of fans and were not addressed until at the end of last year and some still are not addressed.
The biggest two was Bobo’s incompetence and certain glaring deficient recruiting for the offensive line which is all on Garner. Most fans that know a lot about football saw these problem coming a few years back which were not addressed.
All Georgia fan’s can demand a lot more than we are getting for a 3 million a year salary and those of you that are okay with us losing 7 games are already rich or you haven’t paused a minute and really given it much thought as to how much 3 million actually is.

CMR never likes anybody to see him sweat. We can be losing by 28 and when he talks into his headset you don’t know if he’s changing anything (unlikely) or ordering McDonalds. Nice guy and he’s not stupid. If he knew how to stop the Dawg’s slide, he would. Thing is, he doesn’t. So we get gimmicks and hype instead of meaningful improvement on the team. We hear about great recruiting class after great recruiting class. Yet all that supposed talent coming through the door never quite seems to show up on the field. We’re simply big enough to beat AA teams and most lower tier football teams. But we don’t hold a candle to the upper tier SEC teams and haven’t for a long time now. The next coach will have to fix that. Absolutely time for new coaching blood in Athens.

Why is Richt complaining about pass protection, after all he hired his bud Willie Friendly (no sarcasm intended) to coach the offensive line WITHOUT interviewing another person for the job. His response to the hire was there would be a continuation of the terminology (whatever that means) because he had been a graduate assistant at UGA. Great reason for hiring someone huh!!!!!!!

To go with good coaching, the name of the game is good recruiting. Obviously, our O-line recruiting is suspect. Spurrier must be a dynamite recruiter as is Saban.

Richt would have been better off 2 years ago cleaning house and UGA fans would have understood that he was rebuilding and cut him some slack. He chose to piece meal and it shows. Bobo’s record speaks for itself, the conditioning program is less than a year old but will get better, Eric Zeir said it best that after 2 years the D scheme is no longer in a learning curve. You could not tell if from the BS game. Richt is upset about the pass blocking and is working to get it right. This is like teaching a combat soldier to fire his weapon while on patrol. Good luck Mark.

I don’t get these people who are constantly recommending that Richt get rid of one of his assistants or “hire some better coordinators”. What a joke. He’s been here eleven years now. All the excuses are lame today–we’ve heard every one of them in the book multiple times. The sorry state of Georgia football is on his shoulders and his shoulders alone. It’s not Bobo’s fault. He’s doing his best. Problem is, it’s not good enough and never was. Richt likes him though and as CEO he has decided to give him big raises instead of a pink slip. So whose fault is that?
Have we gotten even one million dollars of value from the Tan Man over the past eleven years? No. The Bulldog nation has been snookered and ripped off by Marjoe Mark Richt and his Medicine Show.
Every day he continues is another week it will take the next coach to right the ship.
People ask, “who could replace him?” Answer: ANYONE! Best, however is a proven SEC head coach who is a real sweat shirt with a whistle around his neck head coach, not a media logo or a CEO posing as a coach. Mullen from MSU comes to mind. The Board of Regents needs to get out the checkbook and write the biggest check that any coach in the NCAA receives, because we want the BEST. If you want championships, you will not do it on the cheap. UGA is the second most profitable colelgiate athletic program in the SEC and the second most profitable in the NCAA. How bout a little ROA for the fan base and loyal alumni?

It’s Thursday and I think everybody has gotten their frustrations out of their systems. Time to get behind the team and support them and Coach Richt. Enough spewing “fire the coach”. Truth is that is a very good, experienced Boise State team. They have beaten Oregon, Oklahoma, VT when they all those teams were ranked in the top 10. We are heading into SEC play and anything can happen there on any given Saturday. Grantham better be ready for what Spurrier is going to throw at him. The D wasn’t all that bad against that top notch Boise O. Having a productive offense that can run time off the clock and put points on the board is what we need. I didn’t understand the constant runs up the middle when what yardage we did earn came on the sweep and runs to the outside. Our backs, IC, Thomas, and Boykin when in on the offense are FAST and they should be able to exploit that.

Go Coach Ritch and GO DAWGS!

Folks, Richt can’t even attract good assistants these days. Look at Will Friend. Here we are, a flagship SEC university with one of the finest traditions in the country. Richt hires some recent GA from UAB. Ponder that for a second before you decide whose fault it is that the offensive line didn’t distinguish itself last week. The good young coaches know that Richt is an imposter and is not a master of collegiate football coaching. They don’t want to hitch onto a loser. Richt cannot improve his staff over what it is because within the coaching ranks he’s been outed for several years now.

Mark makes a lot of money to do one thing. Being a good role model is just a side bar. I know other football schools howl when they hear the argument on here ‘what a good man he is”. He is, but that’s not what is #1 job is. The whole conference loves him. I want them to hate Dan Mullen.

I support the players. (I wish they would cut the dreads and stop tweeting and facebooking) I also would love it if the coaches could turn things around and become the best in college football.

Unfortunately, I have no faith in the offensive play calling after last weekend. I think we have switched places with Mississippi State. They used to expect to loose on the weekend, and we expected to win. Now, it is the opposite.

When our coaches don’t anticipate crowd noise on the first position and elect to have the no huddle without and planning for crowd noise in the dome, that is dumb. Not having quick outs and having zero yard slow running plays up the middle time after time, that is dumb. Blaming the OL instead of working with what you have, that is dumb.

As a Tech man I would like to say that its sad to see how uga fans treat their team and coach after losses! I guess this is what makes me hate yall so much! Yall have to be the most obnoxious and unrealistic fan base in college sports! If I was a high school recruit and followed uga blogs or attended games and had to be around some of the foolishness yall pull before, during and after games I would never go there! I guess people can only do better when they know better!!! Uga get top 5-10 recruting classes almost every year, therefore one may be forced to wonder why these players fall off once at uga!!!! I for one know that its not always a coaching issue! Have any of you fools ever thought that there 4 & 5 star recruits are over hyped??? Some of these so called studs that yall are getting might look the part but they have no heart to go with all that talent! A coach cant make a player have whats not inside of him! Coaches are blamed all to often by fools who either never played or really dont know the game! Im a believer in the fact that coaches dont forget how to coach, but players often make it appear as though thats the case. On saturday I way a team that looks like they could compete with a NFL team……..that was until the ball was snapped!!! Just food for thought for yall fools!!!!!

This may SOUND unfair, but I think our program has gotten so bad that the coaches no longer recognize what well played football is.

Between week 1 and week 2 the head coach is concerned that we can’t beat anybody with the way the offensive line is practicing. Two weeks ago, we heard that the offensive line was playing very well and as long we don’t have a lot of injuries… we only have to play 5 so we should be fine.

Is it that we have sunk so low that we no longer have a way to measure how the team looks in pre-season?

I’m not too sure those delayed handoffs out of the shotgun are helping our O-line either. I-formation and let Crowell follow Figgins through the 3-hole all day long. Bump it to the outside from time to time.

Call some pass plays that allow Murray to get rid of the ball quick or tuck it and run for the sideline and 5 yards. Roll him out from time to time so the defense can’t zero in on him.

1eyedJack, maybe that is what infuriated me so much about the Boise game. We had huge figgins, and hardly used him. We should have broken the smaller Boise team by running our old style power I and worn them out with toss sweeps.

This was the ideal game to break a top ranked opponent, and we instead played to the opponents strengths. SC will hold up much better against a power run game, but we have no choice but to do it along with short passes. Do I think Bobo or Richt will? I have no freakin idea. I expect they will continue with the shotgun and delay runs.

UGA play Boise St who is a very good team, people have to understand that there are teams that are not in the SEC that are real good.

Florida did look pretty good but can’t say they looked better then UGA because of who they were playing

USCe Looked ok, East Carolina is a pretty good team but not to level of Boise St.

Kentucky didn’t look as good as I thought they would be

Tenn looked a little better then I thought, but still have to wait and see.

UGA has home field advantage, after all the negative press this week the team will be fired up when they see the crowd supporting them.

JB, I did see the difference and I think I mentioned that in my post. I said that Boise was more mature, experienced and disciplined. Furthermore, I mentioned that Bobo and Richt weren’t perfect but they are being tarred and feathered unfairly in this situation. Again they didn’t drop those passes and neither did the Boise receivers. Was it their fault that Boykin’s shoe came off in the end zone (maybe it was, they should have checked pregame to make sure everyones shoes were tied) was it their fault that Crowell slipped in the backfield? I am saying that if some of those things don’t happen to UGA maybe we have a different outcome. I am not saying that Richt and Bobo are the best coaches in the Nation, what I am saying in this game only, they are taking more heat than is deserved!

I posted comments yesterday admonishing the coaching staff. After reviewing the game last night, I DVR’d it, I wil back off somewhat. There were several plays in the first half where players didn’t execute. Several times it was running backs. Right play was called had a lane but back didn’t folllow blockers or see the correct running lane. This happened with counter twice and sweep once. Those 3 times there were big running lanes that the backs couldn’t find. Also, first possession 3rd down pass to OC I believe was a catchable ball, #7 didn’t get his head around in time to make a play on the ball. Was it a perfect throw – no. Was it a tight window – yes. Should OC have made a play on the ball – yes. TK should be shown the sideline for a while, multiple drops that killed drives.
Murray’s INT was a product of an Ealy style block from IC. He picked the right assignment then through a lookout block. (Hey Murray – lookout) On that play Murray had man coverage on the outside, which is where he was going with the ball, except the couldn’t step into the throw and the caused it to be short and picked. Again Execution by a player was at fault.

Yes there were times when our OL got blown up and we must cut back on the times that happens but poor execution by players was a big problem. This also put our Defense back on the field, they got tired and this gave Moore more chances to score. Take 2 possesions away from BSU at the end of each haf and you may have had a 21 – 21 game. Poor execution gave them more possessions. Cant do that with a good team.

SO STAFF FIX THE PROBLEMS AND THINGS MAY WORK OUT FOR A GOOD YEAR AFTER ALL.

Man, for a second there I was feeling sorry for CMR after 4 and 3/4 pages of hate spewing out over losing to a non-conference top 5 opponent. I’m a yellow jacket thru and thru,( we don’t even have red christmas ornaments, I do not have red clothes, I break all the red crayons and colored pencils, I hate dogs almost as much as Mike Vick… ok maybe a slight exaggeration.) but Richt has done a lot for you guys and a rebuilding season or 2 is to be expected every once and again. This talk of firing is a bit premature. Hewitt had 3 or 4 seasons to turn something around and all he ever acomplished was recruiting one and dones who then go on to the NBA then get kicked out and kill moms. Not a lot to write home about. It was time for Hewitt to leave based on both his record and the type of player he went after. I do not care how many Atlanta Celtics players we get if they all leave after a year and don’t help build a program. In the case of Richt, perhaps he has underachieved for a while, but this season is a new one and you guys have a good chance to be contenders for the east in a very very weak schedule. SC is really your only worthy opponent this year, though I would not be surprised to see UF pull something out of a hat.

My question is, if you fire CMR this season, who will you go after to replace him? Do you feel that there is a suitable replacement currently available or soon to be available? Mike Leech?

JB: Gailey’s downfall was never his ability to recruit talent, it was indeed his stubborness, like you pointed out. He was too stubborn to pull Ball, who was ever teams favorite Tech player who could notoriously not count to 4, for 4 years, despite his awful play, his bad attitude, and his inability to develope as both a man and a player. Gailey could have saved his job had he hired an OC that had a clue. I enjoyed our defense under Tenuda except for the “having a terrible secondary” thing, so that side of the ball was always fun to watch and is usually what kept us in games. Soooooo what I am saying is, I agree whole heartedly with you and if CMR wants his job bad enough, he is going to have to make a decision on a new OC. With Richt’s ability to recruit, UGA would be dumb to get rid of him IF he puts people in place to develop that talent once it gets to y’all, otherwise you could have the best recruiting class or the 12th best and it wouldn’t really matter. Stubborn would be an appropriate choice of word here.

@ Values vs Win…………You said “It’s up to Mark to learn from program missteps and correct them.”

For a few years now I’ve resisted the urge to jump on the fire Richt bandwagon. My reasoning has been that while the team seemed to be declining, and losing because of the same reasons…stupid errors, bad playcalling, bad decision making, that it was all part of a learning process for Richt. This is still his first head coaching gig, and is still a relatively young coach who should be learning from his mistakes on the job. But I’ve finally come around to the fact that Richt either can’t, won’t or is incapable of learning from his mistakes. Because it’s every year now we’re losing games because of the same lack of fundamentals and generally bad coaching. He’s not learning. He does need to go.

Did anyone actually watch how the game slipped away on offense, the D did play very well in the first 2 qtrs against a top 5 team & a QB out there throwing darts. Other than Boykins 80 yd run the only thing I saw the offense do was kill momentum & make mistakes. Richt is a guy with an OC background, that should be very embarrasing to him, with the effort that was shown on that side of the ball. Sometimes speed doesn’t get it done, U also need technique & strength. Boise St. basically gave UGA a football 101 class, with players from places like Hawaii !!!

You probably should have upped the ante to $100 with your nephew. Then again he is just a nephew. No sense taking advantage of family.

Just reading from the dawg nation you get the sense that a number of them have already given up on the season and that if they lose to Carolina that 80-90% of them will write the season off. Heck even if the dawgs lose the Carolina game they could still see an 8-4 or possibly 9-3 season. The only game I absolutely can’t see the dawgs winning is the Miss state game. All the others they have a chance. A 9-3 regular season would be respectable and if the dawgs could win a bowl game a 10 win season is always a good season.

Although we strikeout and lose I will control my “Attiude and Effort” as Richt says… Come on man are you kidding me??

Where is Russ The Temporary Mascot to weigh in on Coach Richt? What does he think?

Okay lets go over this again…Georgia Fans are the most loyal patient fans in the SEC…when the team is giving max effort, has heart and hustle and the coaches are passionate we understand and will give props…nobody who has watched the Dawgs loose SEVEN of the LAST EIGHT games to ranked opponents has seen any of that…I would love to see Mark throw a visor/chair/fit or any expression of concern or passion about the state of disrepair the team is in…all that being said he came from the Bobby Bowden school of spectator coaching while I tend to my social/church obligations and broad brushes the lack of discipline with a “we’re building boys into men” ministry statement. I watched the Coach Chris Petersen (we all remember him) show last night just to see what Boise State is about…very interesting… he recruits based on whether the athletes are good students, good character and will fit into their blue collar culture…they are very concerned about their culture and emphasize working harder and smarter as a unit…as a team…I noticed a complete lack of self promotion after any tackles much less routine ones…his team was in shape organized and well coached (i.e. nobody frantically looking to the sidelines just before ball snap)…The football culture at Ga is shameful in comparison…is that my fault as a fan for noticing?

Seems like EVERY DAY there’s some blog story about Richt and Georgia, followed by a dozen or so pages of comments. It’s really about time for the Bulldogs and all their DRAMA to GO AWAY!

Georgia, you’re now playing for a midle-tier bowl game.
No SEC East title. No trip to Atlanta. Certainly no BCS Bowl.

We no longer care what happens to Richt coaching-wise or whomever you may want to replace him with.

Sorry, but this SAD little story has become quite BORING!

And yeah…. GO JACKETS!

Several of us are wondering if Richt truly hasn’t lost control of this team. The discipline just doesn’t appear to be in place. Georgia makes a first down and the players are juking around and high fiving themselves like they did something…but were two touchdowns behind. At some point this GA. team needs to start dancing on their opponents head and smashing some mouths instead of running theirs. The play calling truly sucks by the way….

It’s time for a new coach. We went through this with Bowden. You hope things will get better but they will not. The game has passed him. Stop the bleeding before it gets worse!

To Dawg Tired…Amen. Have certainly noticed the class other teams display allowing their play to be the only statement needed. That is coaching, plain and simple.
I’m not sure if the Dawg’s would rather be dancing with the stars or playing football.

the only ones who benefit from all this are the needy kids of the world because richt will have plenty of time to dedicate to them once he is fired. don’t worry kids, uncle richt will be with you soon, probably before the end of the season.

When you and the rest of your Dawg fans are in Tuscaloosa next stop by and I’ll let you see what a BCS crystal football looks like. It’s the closest UGA will be to one for many years to come.

when you are thinking of richt horrible bad luck, think of all the recruits who signed a letter of intent to play at georgia who were #1 all-american, blue-chippers who changed their mind at the last minute before the season began to play instead with either Florida, Oklahoma or Florida State. Richt has missed out on a bunch of players who lied to him and said they were committed to play at Georgia, just to change their minds later right before signing day or prior to the start of the opening game. MARK RICHT HAS HAD ALMOST AS MUCH BAD LUCK AS HIS FORMER QUARTERBACK D.J. SHOCKLEY.

Actually, georgia gets almost every recruit they want and are ALWAYS rated in the top 5 nationally. If they happen to miss the top 5 then they are top 10 but no less. USC is lucky if they crack the top 20; getting in the top 10 is front page news in Columbia.

Folks are BASHING Mark Richt becasue the Georgia program is in decline and there has to be a scapegoat for which to place the blame. The blame doesnt lie at the feet of Mark Richt. There should be nothing but PRAISE for Richt. Look how many players Richt has had who have gotten arrested by the law and ended up in jail. A WHOLE BUNCH OF GEORGIA PLAYERS HAVE GONE THAT ROUTE. Richt can only play poker with the hand that is dealt to him after all the dust settles and the smoke clears.

Chicken Lips, just got off of Garnet and Black–was reading what they thought of our offense: basically, they think you will kill us–I mean seriously, we don’t stand a chance. According to them, your line is among the best in the nation, far better than Boise’s, and our offensive line couldn’t even block Boise little players. Also, we don’t have anything to replace Green and Durham…read, our receivers stink. Finally, Crowell didn’t look to good to them. It could happen. We’ll see. (they weren’t ugly, they just think you will blow us out on both sides of the ball). I’m thinking they would guess 48-7, or some lopsided score, but I didn’t see one mentioned. If SOS can beat us by >40 Saturday, it could be a long season for CMR and UGA. Go Dawgs anyway. See you Saturday!

Good article on Jarvis Jones and his helmet on ABH. He did play great. I would expect SC to go up the middle; let’s hope our big NT can slow Latt down! Jones pointed out that it was a problem with the Nike uniforms and his lid would stay on with the regular uni. BTW, I did not like the fact that the names were left off, and you couldn’t see the number due to the poor contrast. Had a hard time figuring out who was making the plays. Go Dawgs!

I agree with some of you guys about Aaron Murry. He has yet to prove himself a contender. To his defence though he was running for his life the whole game. If dogs don’t block this weekend thier
relaly gonna get it handed to them. It sounds like Richt doesn’t have alot of confidence.

CHDawg,

“Had a hard time figuring out who was making the plays.” That was because there wasn’t anyone for us making the plays, not the uni.

When UGA fans speak disparingly of Ole Miss and Miss. State, they should remember that Miss. has about one fourth the population of Ga. and that their colleges have to compete with UA and LSU, both less than fifty miles from their border, not to mention Auburn and UT and that other Miss school USM, which the only is the only college to ever beat both Auburn and UA in the same season. No Miss coach ever made half of what that great man of Athens makes. Know personally a lot of fine assistants who have been around the league and they speak openly of Richt being such a tight wad with his assistants doing his first six years, meaning those who served him well, but he didn’t appreciate what they contributed to his success so they left, even though they loved Athens and didn’t want to uproot families. My problem with friend Friend when he was hired is that no one else was even considered for the job and that he spent five years as grad asst. without obtaining a MS degree–three years at UA and three at UGA Let’s not hear that no one else wanted the job.. FACT__ Even though friend Friend makes less than half of what CSS made at UGA, more capable and more experienced OL coaches applied but were not considered because friend Friend was BObo’s phone buddy. For the sake of the players, let us hope that he does better.

THAT WAS MY WHOLE POINT!! Because of the fact that Richt’s MAJOR TALENT was behind prison bars most of the time, this is why Richt’s team kept losing to Florida all those years and Richt couldnt guide his georgia teams to the BCS national championship. Its not Richt’s fault that those guys fell off the STRAIGHT-AND-NARROW. All I can say is this. MARK RICHT IS THE FIFTH BEST COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HISTORY BEHIND ONLY: Paul “Bear” Bryant, Joe Paterno, Steve Spurrier and Bobby Bowden. PERIOD. END OF STORY. MARK RICHT SHOULD BE ENSHRINED IN COLLEGE COACHES HALL-OF-FAME for being the fifth greatest college coach of all times. Hopefully in the next 10 years Richts teams will win BCS titles to back up my claim.

If he thinks HIS patience is wearing thin, try being a fan rooting for his soft, undisciplined, poorly coached teams. Last Saturday the men were wearing white. The boys were wearing…well, whatever.

Coach Richt’s patience may be ‘wearing thin’, but so is his welcome as UGA’s head football coach.
The intellectual ablility of Georgia’s coaches to make game adjustments and make the most advantageous decisions in play calling is in serious doubt. He’s been “out-coached” by every one of his opponents in the last two, if not three years…even when his team wins. Intellectual competence of the coaching staff is the central issue in the poor performance by poorly prepared Georgia teams.
Coach Richt is going to have to re-double his efforts at preparation and game strategy. The product he has fielded for the last two years has been enormously “inferior”. It’s hopeful that he will do much better in the games ahead, but if he can’[t, his final game at Georgia will be in November against Georgia Tech. We hope he can make it.

Right on the money James. Mark Richt has always been satisfied with “another pretty good season” and that is the best that UGA fans will get out of Richt. We have a great stadium, great tradition, and a terrific talent pool. UGA fans should enjoy a championship once per decade. Richt is out of his league in the SEC. Let’s set our sights at the top and go for the best.
