Mark Richt: Georgia a young team that ‘will get better exponentially’
Here’s some quotes from players and coaches after Georgia’s 45-42 loss to South Carolina Saturday night at Sanford Stadium. . . .
Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt:
“That was an exciting game. The score didn’t turn out the way we wanted. Losing is no fun.”
“South Carolina is a tremendous team, and I think Georgia’s a darn good team if we don’t help the opponent too much.”
“As head coach, I saw an awful lot of great ingredients in this game. I saw a lit fight from our guys, I saw some outstanding plays at crunch time, I saw banged-up guys sucking it up and going. I saw I a lot of resiliency. We can be very good football team, we just had too many giveaways.”
“I thought we kept fighting. We took the lead a couple of times and never gave in. The clock just ran out on us, basically.”
“I wouldn’t say we’re young across the board, but we have enough young people we’re counting on that we’ll get better exponentially.”
“I think the Eastern Division will be decided down the road and I think we’re going to be in the middle of it. I think everybody needs to wait and let it play out.”
“There were so many bad things that happened to us, it would’ve been easy to lay down and die, but we didn’t.”
On play Murray was sacked and fumbled . . .
“We had a slip screen called and their five technique [tackle] went inside and I don’t think Cordy [Glenn] got a hand on him. If you’re gonna get sacked, you get sacked. But Murray had to hold onto the ball there.”
On Isaiah Crowell . . .
“Isaiah is a dynamic player. He got busted in the ribs early in the game and had a hard time breathing. He showed some toughness to be able to finish.”
“We’ve definitely been through some really tough games, games that take a lot of guts, energy and games where you need the majority of things to go right to get the victories. We lost and we understand that. But we’re going to be a good football team. We’re resilient enough to shake it off and make the corrections.”
On throwing his head phones and play cards . . .
“I guess I wanted to show people that I could get mad. I threw them pretty far, too. If I had a visor on I would have slammed it down.”
“We have a tight-knit group. Our guys love each other and believe in each other. We will tweak a couple of things and be in good shape. The future is still very bright. We’ve just got to do things to get results on the scoreboard.”
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier:
“I’ve never won a game like this that I can remember,” Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier said. “Georgia outplayed us. Give them credit, they outplayed us, but somehow or another we won the game. Sometimes it happens like that. Somebody was looking out for us tonight.”
QB Aaron Murray
On the interception…
“I think I just threw it a little behind Orson [Charles]. There was pressure, it was a tight window, and you have to put those right on the money, and I didn’t. The defender made a great play on it.”
On the game…
“I think we had great plays on both sides of the ball. We had some great plays on offense, and the defense had some awesome plays. We just gave up too many big plays and those mistakes hurt us. We can be a great football team, we have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, but those four turnovers hurt us.”
On the miscues . . .
“Every mistake we made was big. It stinks to five points away in a ballgame like that. We gave away 28 points tonight. You can’t do that in any game, much less an SEC game.”
TB Isaiah Crowell:
“I hate to lose, but we have to deal with it. We have to come out this week and be ready to work. There isn’t time to put our heads down.”
On what happened on the fumble . . .
“I made a small pocket and the ball hit my hand. It was my fault. I should’ve made a bigger pocket.”
On being put back on the field after the fumble…
“I learned that they have confidence in me. [The fumble] was my fault. I told them it wouldn’t happen again. It was nice to get back out there so I could try to redeem myself.”
On the outlook for the season . . .
“The window is still open to win the East and that’s what we’re focused on.”
LB Christian Robinson:
On the game…
“They made some great plays, and we didn’t do what we needed to do. It’s disappointing, but we’re going to go back to the film room, look at our mistakes and get better.”
On critics…
“It’s our job to get the job done, and we didn’t do that today. It’s not the coaches, it’s us. We played our hearts out and just didn’t finish. I’m looking forward to getting back out there.”
CB/KR Brandon Boykin
On mood in the locker room after the loss…
“People were disappointed, but no matter what, we all know that we have to come back on Monday ready to work. We know that we’re capable of winning a lot of games, and winning close games. We’re ready to get back out on the field.”
On kickoff returns…
“I told [the team] before the game that I was going to give all I got. The blockers did a great job of opening the holes, and I just got myself through the holes. I was happy I was able to give the offense good field position.”
OLB Jarvis Jones:
If you play this game long enough you’re going to lose a game like this. It’s tough. This is the SEC. You make mistakes and good teams are going to capitalize on it and that’s what they did.”

Ace70 has it right: our team finds a way to lose the big games. For all of you Richt supporters, you do realize that the win total from last year means that he was paid $500,000 per win.
I agree that the team looked better prepared for today’s game than they did last week, but our vaunted special teams (”best in the country” is what I have seen here for weeks now) cost us dearly with the missed FG and the failure to stop SC’s fake punt.
If you really believe that this team will win nine games this year, I am impressed with your optimism.

I have stuck with the program while I watched Cox throw interception after interception and we lost to UK for the first time at home since 73. I thought…just an off year…happens to all coaches. Then I stuck with them through last year…as uncomfortable as it was…thought major changes would be in store. I bought into all the reports…faster, stronger, smarter program. I got sold a bill of goods and I want us to cut our losses before it is too late. Most people do not realize that UK was one of the stronger SEC teams in the 50’s…they accepted mediocraty and became a basketball school..is that our future?

Oh Brother. I feel your pain. The loss to UCF stung. I hoped for a major overhaul this year. didn’t happen against Boise and almost happened today except for mental lapses (turnovers). I can only hope the players build on this. I will say the coaching staff has a lot more to prove than the players do.

I imagine there’s a lot of things that you haven’t did. Cars aren’t dealing with young people trying to get them to perform at a high level either. But then again you knew that. I tell you what you keep bashing the coach and the program and see how that works for you in the years to come. You evidenttly know more than the people in charge of running the program so have at it smart guy.

The Bulldogs can win the East.
They have a very manageable schedule the rest, of the season.
The team can cut out dumb turnovers, and have a great season!
Also special teams need to start being special again, like last season.

This program has forgotten how to win. After 10 years, no coach, at an established “big time” program should be producing these results. Sadly, ugaly fans are faced with the fact that this is a bottom tiered SEC program & a lower half NCAA program. Richt has not produced a big win since 2005 SEC Championship game … that’s 5+ years!!! There is alot of money being paid to those that don’t deserve it in athens. What a joke!

Anybody blaming this on turnovers need look no further than the offensive line. Crowell botching the handoff, Murray’s INT and fumble, etc… There was no pass protection. USC has an AMAZING defensive line, so I can understand them getting pressure. So who to blame? Well, if you know they’re going to beat your offensive line and you wait until the second half to start calling screens and slants to get behind their linebackers, you have only the playcaller to blame. Bobo didn’t account for the blitz. There’s 3 ways to beat a blitz: 1) throw away from it, 2) throw behind it, 3) run away from it. Somehow we just sat in the pocket and watched it come (INT and fumble), or ran right at it (Crowell’s handoff that was botched due to the pressure coming his way). I love Richt, but he’s too nice to fire Bobo, and so he’ll have to face the music at season’s end.

[...] A compilation of post-game reaction, including this from South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier: “I’ve never won a game like this that I can remember. Georgia outplayed us. Give them credit, they outplayed us, but somehow or another we won the game. Sometimes it happens like that. Somebody was looking out for us tonight.” [...]

It seems like we’ve been hearing the same thing at these post game press affairs for years. Wait. It has been years! With CMR “we’re always close.” Good teams don’t gift wrap wins for their opponents time after time. UGA almost always has the better players, yet, “we just let this one slip away.” Great coaches teach their teams to minimize errors. With Richt, it’s always the excuse. “We’ll get to work and overcome it,” Richt says. WHEN? I feel bad for the players because they did leave it all out there. But Murray sounds just like Richt. He has not beaten one decent team. Richt still makes mistakes a guy coaching in the SEC should never make. And there’s your difference. We have some really exciting players who deserve much better.

everyone keep drinking the kool-aid, dont mind the fact that we cant beat a top 20 team, that we now lost 3 straight (includes ucf last dec), we are on our way to second straight losing season, that we continue our downward sprial to the bottom of the SEC east…… why not continue to put up with this for a few more years?
its a shame where this football program sits today….. we now accept good efforts even if we lose…. please ……. what a bunch of crap….. Richt is paid to bring championships to Georgia…. to be in contention year in and year out…. not every 6 or 7 years…. my goodness dawg nation…. WAKE UP….. GET RID OF THESE CLOWNS NOW….. THE ONLY THING THAT IS IMPORTANT IS WINS…. NOT EFFORT…. NOT THAT THEY ARE YOUNG…. ITS ALL ABOUT WINNING…… WAKE UP

Crowell is a baller for taking credit for the fumble, but it’s not all on him. Murray was limping badly after the play before and refused to come out. Timing on hand-offs between a RB and his QB is crucial. I knew before it happened that Murray wasn’t 100% and that something was going to happen. Sure enough… The ball wasn’t where Crowell would normally get it. Murray screwed his team into the ground. Gritty? Yes and I respect him for that. But he pretty much lost the game for his team mates. An INT happens. But learn how to take a sack. And if you’re hurt, don’t be a martyr.
And CMR stood by and let it happen.

Aaron Murray, right after he threw the interception, came back to the field with an obvious look of determination – a look he had not shown in his sleepwalk through the entire game up until then. South Carolina, you recall punched it in again on his interception to forge the lead. Then, we scored. When he came back out the next series, you could sense looking at him, that he had lost that determination. Relaxed. Unattached. Like he didn’t give a damn. We could win the game. And, he showed as much emotion and determination as our church guy, other than defending his praying buddy offensive coach. Then, he was thrown down like a rag doll. And, South Carolina scored again to go up by 2 scores, on the fumble itself. And, the game was over. The fans left. I stayed. I wanted to watch the 2 coaches mid-field after the game. I came; I saw; Mark Richt hugged Steve Spurrier. That’s it for me. I have grown weary of telling the RICHT-0-FILES for 6 solid seasons now. These 6 consecutive 6 solid seasons now, in which this church guy does not even have a winning record vs The SEC East, DOWN as it is. There ever was only just 1 SEC East team, and now they are DOWN too. This 5-Loss South Carolina team with their “worse quarterback” than Aaron Murray had once again beat Aaron Murray, and once again, Aaron Murray was not the better quarterback, head-to-head on the field yet again tonight. That is now 9 times the opposing quarterback has out-performed our QB on the field, head-to-head. 7 of the 9 times, the other team ended the season in the Top 25; and, the other 2 times the other team – even with their win over Mark Richt and his “coaching staff” did not even finish in the AP Poll Top 25. All 9 games, Aaron Murray lost. On this night, he threw the interception to give South Carolina the lead, threw away the hand-off to Isaiah Crowell, and then was thrown down like a Rag Doll by South Carolina’s much bigger much faster brute, coughing it up yet again – on yet again another sack. Did he tweet today how he was going to go get his a** whooped – er, uh, I mean whoop him some a** ? I couldn’t care less to read his Tweets any longer, you know ?

The BEST Quarterback in the entire SEC.
So, where are you twits who told me this repeatedly ? Where, oh Lord, are you now ?
14 losses the last 28 games.
Not even a winning record vs SEC East over 6 consecutive seasons now.
Blogs, oh blogs that only allow those who say POSITIVE lies.
Poster after poster who say they have the ‘Dawgs’ backs. Do they ? That right ? They have them by trying to float by us all that Mark Richt is the # 4 best college football coach in all of America by adding up wins and not discussing ANY losses, like his 3 wins 10 losses vs teams ending up in the AP Poll Top 10 and like his 16 losses to teams who did not or would not have finished in the Top 25 without having beat Mark Richt. Mark Richt, whose 1 win in the last 10 games vs ranked teams at game time, is over a Georgia tek team who played only 4 games that season and lost 3. Cheated to do that. NCAA PROBATION back-to-back in FOOTBALL – Mark Richt could have lost that game, and Georgia tek would have forfeited to him anyway. 2006 Auburn ended # 9 and that is the last win six (6) seasons ago over any team who finished in the AP Poll Top 10 and we lost to 4-win Vandie 2006 too along with 4 losses 2006.

We are an afterthought on the national stage. We have no discipline on or off the field. Allowing Aaron Murray to still have up on his Twitter Home Page that he was leaving this time last week to the Georgia Dome where we were already there, to go whoop him some a**.
Just go Mark Richt. Please do not try to lie to me, or send your Bible-Thumping Minions to try to take me on on the Internet. Not me, sir. Anyone but me. I have looked up their every lie. I have exposed their every twisted attempt to prove to me that they are a better Mark Richt fan than I a Bulldog fan, and not in the least a Mark Richt fan – him playing and paying and praying his Favorites.
There is a load of talent on this team. Way loaded. We need to get a guy back in the secondary who is our best football player on the entire team. We need to ask ourselves what we are saving Malcolm Mitchell for to bring him in the 2nd half of every game, to prove to me that this man is very special. Why the 2nd half, while we languish on every 3rd and long calling our preposterous draw play lucky to come up short by just a few.
Mark Richt – what are you saving Christian LeMay for ? You won’t be here.

Georgia has not had a signature SEC win since 2007. If Greg McGarity continues to ignore this fact… NOTHING will happen! UGA fans will still show up — not because they dislike their team’s underachievement and their inept coaches — but because the tailgating is BETTER than the game. THAT”S WHY, the fans show up week after week. The game is anti-climactic. The UGA Bulldogs are on par with the CHICAGO CUBS! Until the fans wise-up and just stop showing up for the mess that is a CMR coached team, the coffers will be full and the PARTY ROLLs ON!!! Sad but 100% accurate. And don’t look to Mike Adams for a decision. He’s like Donna Shalalla — stripping his wire in the john over a booster check. Pass the KY………………………………….

“USC would have to lose two SEC games for UGA to be able to win the east…not gonna happen.”
Yes, Arkansas is a far better team than anyone Mark Richt and Greg McGarity face the rest of our season. There is the clear loss that UGA always under Mark Richt has to some lousy sorry powder-puff cream-filled cupcake. Alabama and LSU have won some great wins this season already over very good football teams – and, neither South Carolina nor Georgia faces either Alabama or LSU.
When an SEC East team, DOWN as the SEC East is – quite obviously, faces either Alabama or LSU, or maybe even Arkansas even without their running back, The SEC East team will lose, and it will be a blow-out of Biblical Proportions.
Look, we play an incredibly easy schedule the rest of the entire regular season. Our schedules are so soft nowadays. We can all sit back now, the season over, and watch little Aaron Murray run up his stats against these up-coming 10 cupcakes – including our meaningless bowl game against some nobody football team – as we have done ALL 11 years now.
South Carolina will lose plenty of football games this season. They always do. They should have tonight; but, little Aaron Murray handed Steve Spurrier the game for the 2nd consecutive season. He did so by starting out slowly again, as he did last week. And, then he flung the ball at Isaiah Crowell – not put it in there; and then he threw the interception to South Carolina to put them ahead; and then he also at the end LOST THE GAME when he was FLUNG DOWN LIKE A RAG DOLL by the much bigger much faster USC DL, coughing it up. Quit with the excuses for the guy. He is a LOSER. He has no opportunity to beat any ranked team, again this season. And, don’t forget he will ALSO lose to some cupcake not in the Top 25, too. USC will lose games the rest of the way, unfortunately, so will we – and it will be against a team we should have beat. Anyone notice us put pressure on Garcia tonight ? Where was that all last week ?
Thanks a lot Aaron Murray – you LOST this game for us by yourself, son.

“Georgia has not had a signature SEC win since 2007.”
_
2007 LOST to 6-Loss South Carolina 2007 not even in a bowl game South Carolina
The entire season was OVER after losing early to So Car & vols, out of SEC Champ, over
2007 LOST to 4-Loss vols # 12 who lost to 7-6 Alabama in blow-out & to 7-6 California
2007 Florida ended up # 13, a 4-Loss team beat by lowly Michigan, great team ?
2007 Auburn ended up # 15, a 4-Loss team beat by S FL & Missy State, great team ?
2007 Hawai’i ended up ranked # 19, is this a great team we beat ?
These are our only wins 2007, and notice if you will that what they try to float past you is that they say that Mark Richt was hosed in 2007 by the BCS, that he should have played in the NC game and that he would have won, they say. Yet, again, what they will not discuss with you, is that LSU had wins just like these 3 wins over not so great teams, but LSU also had two (2) wins over teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10, while please note that Mark Richt (as he has ALWAYS done in the years he was supposed to be so great) has ZERO -0- wins over any team who finished in the AP Poll Top 10. How was Mark Richt cheated out of the National Championship in 2007 when he lost to hapless vols in a blow-out and lost to a team who ended the season 6-6 and did not even play in a bowl game. This entire 2007 season was OVER early for Mark Richt with these HORRID LOSSES 2007, and no team on the schedule who finished in the AP Poll Top 10. As this season, 2011, we don’t face the 3 top SEC West teams, we did not face LSU in 2007, and BLEW OUR CHANCES at getting to play them with these head scratching losses. The facts are we had an easy schedule 2007, and FAILED to take advantage of it, as we are doing already for 2011.

“They are not fans and Georgia does not need the belly aching non-supporters. Great job team,us real fans support you players and coaches.”
Yes, great job you players and coaches 13-13 vs SEC East teams these last 6 seasons, 14-14 these last 28 games overall, 0-2 including tonight handing the game to Steve Spurrier when we had them beat, a come-from behind improbable win for South Carolina ONLY because Aaron Murray (1) flung the football at Isaiah Crowell not putting the ball in there properly at all (2) throwing the interception to put South Carolina in the lead as he did last week to Boise State too (3) being flung around like a RAG DOLL coughing up the fumble quick 6 at our goal line and (4) wasting the first 3 trips to their end zone himself by all 3 times making horrid throws and SETTLING for field goal attempts, any 1 of which would have actually won the game even with HIS turnovers (1) (2) and (3.)
You are the problem around here SETTLING for this crudola as a well-coached football team. And, we have so much obvious talent out there : MISMANAGEMENT of the talent is so much fun to cheer on. I love it so much, you know.
Great job team. You are really doing well. We just love spending our $10,000 a year supporting this LOSING FOOTBALL PROGRAM. That is my dream in life you know ? I so enjoy LOSING. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, so unaccustomed to actually winning a game against any ranked team as we are – with NO signature win, not any great season of our own have we ever had ANY signature win.

Mark Richt has only 1 goal every year. To tithe to the Church at least 10 percent of everything. 10 percent of just his annual total compensation is 10 percent of three and a half million dollars $ 3,500,000
$ 700,000 tithe per year by Mark Richt, more than he is worth by itself.

Mark Richt does not have a Calling to be on TV analyzing football, a game he said he could now spend his free time studying – you reCall ? To become an expert on the game of football. The question is, if Greg McGarity freed him up from so much of the mundane remedial clerical tasks of being head coach of a football program once # 11 in All-Time 1-A wins before he got here and began mismanaging the wealth of talent left here for him and since duplicated – although without a single great player in the secondary – if Greg McGarity freed him up so much to finally study the game he is handed $ 3,500,000 annual total compensation for, how could he then analyze the game on TV ? He doesn’t know it, does he ? Well, he told us he “knew what the hell he was doing.”
But if that were true and not another in a litany of lies from his mouth, why then would he need to be freed up by Greg McGarity to be able to study the game of football, to BECOME an expert at this game ?
No, his Calling is not to be on TV.

We waste and mismanage Malcolm Mitchell, too. We have brought him in only late in the game in the 2nd half to play football, when that man is explosive. It is so easy to watch a man such as Malcolm Mitchell play the game of Football and to Know that he is destined to greatness.
So, why do we not play him, either – while we watch us fall behind at the beginning of every game nowadays and then lose as a direct result thereof ?
The list is endless, and has been from 2001.
We play FAVORITES.
Are we afraid that it would be too obvious how much better it would be to put these guys in more, say to begin the game ?
Again, Christian LeMay, what is he saving him for ?
Next year ?
Next year, FAVORITE little Aaron Murray will have graduated, wants to be a coach, and has zero future in the NFL.
Oh, pardon me, he is DREW BREES according to RED DOG 77 who vacates the Internet about this time EVERY SEASON.
AltamahawDawg, he has loads of fun at the games watching us LOSE he says, but he too says he is going to leave the Internet if we start out 0-2. It must be really so wonderful to be so STUPID to sit there and watch us play and not realize anything ever that we should be doing.
Like a blond ditzy bimbo with white-out all over his computer screen.

Richt easily loses every single game to any coach that’s good. After seeing a good bit of Auburn-Mississippi State, Richt will lose again this year to both of those teams Tenessee in Knoxville has “a Mark Richt lose’ written all over it. Doesn’t matter how good or bad Will Muschamp is, Richt is a chronic loser each time against Florida.
Tech-Georgia has evolved into a “who cares” game. Personally I’d tather UGA beat Florida. Its a tossup who’s worse, Richt or Paul Johnson.

Same comments just a different week, different year. Does anyone actually believe that any running back would run wild and break so many tackles against a defense like Alabama? It is always wait until next week and we’ll show you and next week never comes until they find some scrub on the schedule that they can get well against. Teams that have talent and that are well coached don’t make the mistakes that UGA make week in and week out. The long wait for this season to begin is now lost because of the coaching CMR is at a loss. He has no clue how to turn things around or he would’ve done it years ago. He is living off his record for his first six or seven years and acting as though the last several years are some type of aberation instead of a trend. Why is UGA paying this man seven figures? It is baffling to think you could me this bad and make so much money at being bad. Regardless of what UGA does for the rest of the season and that is even if they win every remaining game which they won’t, CMR and that entire staff needs to be fired.

Paul Johnson said today that he finds it hard enough playing against the ACC as it is. He stated today too that he would prefer to play 4 division II teams or 1-AA FCS teams.
Of course, Mark Richt loses to more than 1 team every season who is not ranked in the final AP Poll, even after they beat him.
So, too, does Paul Johnson.
The difference is Mark Richt is the head coach of the # 11 all-time win program, the flagship school in the state which therefore hands Mark Richt the players that would not even consider going to Georgia tek, to not even be on TV, to be on back-to-back NCAA PROBATION in football, to have 92,746 fans – not half that number after Georgia tek blew-up half their stadium so tired they were of their half-empty stadium – only to see their engineer unable to count the remaining number of seats correctly, to not have the 2nd most money of any football program in America to only Texas, to have 45 in the NFL from the benefit of all this; and, to have fans actually able to determine that 2002 there only was 1 other SEC team ranked at all in the final Coaches’ Poll Top 25 in 2002 and they only Auburn a 4-loss team who beat Alabama too but still a 4-Loss team ending up ranked therefore # 14 in the Coaches’ Poll 2002; fans actually able to determine that Mark Richt ended the season # 3 in The SEC in the AP Poll 2005 with losses to Auburn # 14 and to Florida # 12; and that in 2007 Mark Richt lost to 6-6 South Carolina not even in a bowl game and to the hapless vols 2007 too when the vols lost to such wondrous teams 2007 as California a 7-6 team and the vols 2007 lost to Alabama in a blow-out of the vols another 7-6 team 2007 this vols team a 4-loss team 2007.
I submit that this is more of a tragedy to UGA than the # 49 football team Georgia tek is under Paul Johnson.
“Its a tossup who’s worse, Richt or Paul Johnson.”
No, Mark Richt is the one who has done a worse job because to he whom much is given, much is expected.
No one expects Paul Johnson to do squat. So, they get what they expected.

Here
Here, we have RICHT-0-FILES tell us Mark Richt is the # 4 best college football coach in all of America, and inquire of me, do I know more than Mark Richt – since they only quote the liar Mark Richt who isn’t in fact the # 4 best coach in his own conference.
Here
Here we fall short of expectations.
Mark Richt is worse than Paul Johnson, therefore – even though Mark Richt beats Paul Johnson because at UGA, we are NOT measured by the # 49 football program, Georgia tek.
We are measured by :
(1) beating teams who end the season in the AP Poll Top 10
(2) not getting beat by teams who do not even finish the season in the Top 25
Of course, the DISNEYdawgs.com will soon get up from their drunken stupor, and begin anew their campaign for Mark Richt bragging how they better Mark Richt fans that I – indeed we – are true devoted longtime loving giving Bulldog football fans many of whom of us graduated from UGA and recall (the older ones of us, not Ray Goff years) that there have been UGA football teams with our best player deep in the secondary and offensive lines who could block for The University of Ground Attack now some pass-happy program and we also recall being a Top 10 team ourselves and earned that by BEATING teams who finished that season in the AP Poll Top 10 when we were Top 10 ourselves too.
Nowadays, all that matters in this state which has Separation of Church and State, is that they have fun watching the games LOSING because our coach is better than their coach because he is a Christian.
Wonder what his preacher will say in Church 5 hours from now ? I am sure he is sitting there wondering himself, $350,000 to $700,000 on the line and obviously – he – to minister to above all others at 11
right ?

You boys refilled your kool aid jar on a stupidly played loss? We just got Spurriered for about the 15th time. And no, we will not win the east. 8-4.

Thomas Brown……… I’m sure in your profession you hold yourself to the same standard you hold CMR to. If you watched this game and didn’t see our key players are young you are an idiot. I’m a UGA alum and proud of these guys today….. Had we won all your stats would be meaningless

Would it be right for Mark Richt’s preacher 5 hours from now to ignore that Mark Richt needs to be ministered to ?
I submit he must have a message for Mark Richt.

“I guess I wanted to show people that I could get mad. I threw them pretty far, too. If I had a visor on I would have slammed it down.”
classic quote from richt. he really wasn’t mad, he just did it for show. UGA should stop richt from talking to the media… then maybe he wouldn’t appear so clueless.
