Richt: ‘I think we’re a team that is on the rise, but we’ll see’

Im in Oxford as a student, and I’ll be cheering loud and proud for UGA. Shouldn’t even be close; Ole Miss is awful.

Rumor is that Richt will have his contracted extended in a couple of weeks. Reasoning is: 1. Stability with new contract is attractive to recruits. 2. Adams and AD love the way Richt represents the University. 3. Richt still has one of the top winning percentages of any active coach and 2 SEC championships as well as a third appearance and several top ten finishes. No way Richt is fired. 4. All programs go through difficulty. 5. WE have a young team. Next couple of years should be off the chart. It is so funny to hear the Fire CMR voices. It will be so fun to laugh at all of the Richt haters when his contract is extended in a couple of weeks.

For Georgia, the trip to Ole Miss is followed by league games at home against Mississippi State on Oct. 1, at Tennessee on Oct. 8 and at Vanderbilt on Oct. 15. Following an open date, the Bulldogs face Florida in Jacksonville on Oct. 29.

Lets look at the odds for each game for UGA to win:

Ole Miss- 65% win
Miss. St- 51% win
Tennessee 51% win
Vandy 60 % win
Florida 35% win

Just looking at the numbers UGA should go 5-1 in the conference for remaining games to end up at 5-2 in the conference and 9-3 overall. Anything less should be considered a failure. Just the facts.

Just a note to our conference brothers at Auburn, did any of you catch AD Jacobs comments last week about the “ongoing” investigation and how Cam Newton started and now the NCAA is looking at multiple sports and looking for “institutional control”. Does not sound good for our Auburn brothers.

Just do not get any fan of UGA saying that they go undefeated the rest of the way. First of all, they should beat Ole Miss, however the Houston Nutt situation is dire and he will throw the entire playbook at UGA. MSU will bounce back and showed they can play 3 quarters with LSU and be very hard to beat. Tennessee is young like UGA and UGA will have to slow down those big wideouts. Kentucky is horrible, Vandy is improving and will put points on the board. Florida is very very good on defense and will stretch the field on UGA. GT is improving each week and has a passing game to keep the corners honest.

So anyone saying that UGA will go undefeated the rest of the way is a little off base.

It’s funny to see people rant and rave at reporters. Do you really think they like working in a state and a town wear losing is persistent? You think they enjoyed writing about the Falcons while they never put together back to back winning seasons? Wow, it’s so fun to ask CMR DIRECTLY AND TO HIS FACE about his job status and playcalling. I for one think that winning in any sport will boost their profile among their colleagues more than losing every year. Yankees and Red Sox reporters have it easy every year. All they have to write about is clubhouse drama, not losing seasons.

“wait until next year” and what was it either of you said about beating good teams ? (Or, not losing to sorry teams?) Nothing. Just support Mark Richt and his “coaching staff”, and make no mistake about this – this is not about the players and not about the football team. This is about 2 posters in a row posting about supporting Mark Richt and his “coaching staff.” Where are the wins over the top teams ? What season will we finally not lose to teams who are no good, as well ? Where are the sacks this 3-4 defense was touted as giving to us ? Coastal Carolina and now Ole Miss – who cannot not only beat Vandie but lose 7-30 in the worst loss by an SEC team to Vandie in 50 years.

However, UGA has the most disloyal group of band wagon jumpers in college football. And, you can talk about the small crowds at Tech games all you want….but how do you explain the mass exodus of fans from Sanford Stadium at the least sign of a possible defeat? It is disgusting, but funny to watch.

Nobody in their right mind thinks UGA will run the table. It is possible with a little luck and mistake free football, but not likely. Miss St., Tenn, Vandy, Fla, Aub, GT are all capable of beating UGA. It will take a lot to beat each one. The best I can do is Hope that we win each. I don’t expect it. Coach Richt deserves another year with moderate success against these teams. 8-4 should do it. Good luck Dogs.

Dawg fans are the most delusional football fans in the entire nation.

1. You are 0-2 and believe a coach that has sold you stronger coolaid than Jim Jones.
2. You beat the crap out of Coastal Carolina and all of a sudden you are going to run the table.
3. You have a starting QB who missed numerous open receivers AGAIN against a D-2 school.
4. He is too short to see over his line and the D line.
5. UGA is what 14-14 in their last 28 SEC games.
6. UGA has not beaten a school with a winning record in 16 games.

Mark Richt has the best job in College football because he has the most self admiring fans and the most delusional gullible fans in College Football.

By the way, I noticed Grantham at the Dome last night giving the Choke sign to both of Philly’s kicker because he did not know which Henry was Chaz.

mansup……

the fans are tired of the 4 year downward trend, so when it’s apparent the game is lost, OF COURSE they are going to leave. it’s called making a statement!

to everyone, uga fans and haters alike…. the fact all the fanbase is having these discussions about richt and anyone else on the staff tells you all you need to know. i for one am done listening to excuses, rationalizations, and the prospect of a better future. i took the bait with the tweaks richt has done over the last several seasons, but am convinced that the wins/loss record would improve faster if the whole thing was blown up. enough waiting around hoping things will get better.

oh and for most of you who don’t know, which i heard directly from someone who played a few years ago and has many friends on the team right now… only about 20 of the scholarship players even worked out this summer in the new and improved, albeit voluntary, strength and conditioning. that’s why we have been getting pushed around thus far. in time the team will reach peak condition and thus will look good and the fans will think richt has it on track. he lost the team years ago, and now hardly anyone on the team today knows what a winning program is or what it takes to be one.

Young UGA team is LIE.

Just as is “this team is on the rise.”

Media Guide for 2011 (white cover with 5 prominent players on the cover – none of whom will be here after this season), shows on Page 10 The

“2011 Depth Chart”

23 Seniors
25 Juniors

We have, if you consider Georgia tek has not played anyone yet and got ranked # 25 last night in the AP Poll for wins over nobodies, one team – whom no one considers any good at all – Florida on the entire remaining schedule.

If we lose to today # 16 Florida, we will have beat – if we beat everyone else – beat NO ONE.

How can you be “on the rise” when to be “on the rise” you have to (1) beat a team who would end the season in the AP Poll Top 25 while at the same time (2) not losing to a bad team who ends the season not ranked in the AP Poll Top 25 even with their win over us

We haven’t done either in the last Six (6) Seasons, and the coach on the hotseat declares we are a team “on the rise” and his Apologists in this blog state “the team is young.”

Hogwash on both.

Tell me again how a team with 23 Seniors and 25 Juniors is a “YOUNG TEAM”

I went to my first game in the so-called “Swamp” this weekend and was underwhelmed by the campus, the stadium and the town. The stadium should be called “The Dump” and the fans are all Big 10 re-treads. When the announcer announced a big 10 score, the crowd went absolutely silent while the UF fans listened for news from the homeland (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, you get the picture). More wife beaters and jorts than you could imagine and the mullets were out in force. If someone offers you a ticket to one of those “games” in The Dump, look long and hard at some quality on the couch. And get this: they have a time honored tradition of hanging a big sheet in one corner of the stadium that reads (I’m not making this up), “Work ‘em Silly Gators”. The SEC’s least SEC program by far.

Georgia Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons. College sports are fun to follow, but the biggest reason for going to college is to get an education.

UGA fans don’t seem to care about anything but football, and they don’t care if their players are enrolled in silly majors that no parents who are paying the bills would send their kids to UGA for. The very few football and basketball players who graduate have no job opportunities and end up unemployed or working in menial jobs that hardly require a college degree.

Georgia Tech is a real school with serious academic standards, and that includes scholarshipped athletes. UGA has a long history of being a drunken party school, where parents send their kids for an easy degree, even if the degree itself is worthless.

Jan Kemp exposed the obscene sleazy 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. Way too many illiterate morons are being recruited, and the very high arrest rate shows clearly that Richt does not care if his players have any morals or character.

The bottom line is that most Tech fans have very good jobs and productive lives that don’t depend on Tech’s football record for their happiness in life. It would be great to beat UGA more often, but when you put scholar-athletes up against bozo-athletes, it’s usually no contest

By the way, that pedestrian QB has looked better than Murray so far this season (see the 3 TO’s against USC), and the UT team you dismiss so easily may very well stomp a mudhole in the Dawgs up in Knoxville.

His use of the clock and his ability to have his players execute against a Navy team that is not bad was absolutely masterful. The field goal just before half time put them up by 3 and they won the game by 3.

JB,
Weis has done a great job so far. Our only real problem has been in the red zone. Too many FG’s, but our placekicker has nailed every one so far. If he can get that fixed, then we’ll be a tough team to beat with our defense. The secondary is young but they are VERY aggressive. They dropped no less than 5 INTs Saturday. At least they were in position to make the plays…..I guess!
Still lots of football left to play with a BRUTAL October slate. Good luck in Oxford. Go ahead and finish off Coach Nutt!

Not saying anyone should be disappointed with the win. Just find it crazy that so many want to discount most of UGA’s future opponents. Not very bright to do that, in my opinion. Anyway, congrats on the win and I hope ya’ll can win ‘em all before the WLOCP. It would be great if we were both ranked when we meet. Makes it alot more fun! Last year was a downer for both of us.

Georgia fans are regarded as some of the worst fans in the country because of the delusional fans that claim a National Championship run every year, and an SEC title every single year, to respond to a post earlier in the blog. It’s time to come back to reality and realize this is a rebuilding year for Georgia and to come to terms that a 8-4, 9-3 year isn’t all that bad. Of course I as a fan want to go undefeated, and I get very mad at every game we lose, but I also realize we are breaking in a lot of new guys, and still compete in the toughest conference in America. We have some great athletes, but so does Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Mississippi State, and Georgia Tech, so we won’t just win on athleticism. Hold on the the football, and don’t give up the big play is what we have to do. I think we have what it takes to get on a roll, but Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Mississippi State, and Tech are no pushovers that we should just go ahead and calculate as wins, so we have to continue one game at a time, get above .500, then work into breaking the Top 25, instead of this we’re gonna roll through the rest of the schedule crap.

Even though we lost, I was very pleased with our team’s fight against South Carolina. They are a Top 10 team, and we would have beat them by two touchdowns barring shooting ourselves in the foot. I just hope we keep feeding Crowell the ball, getting Malcolm Mitchell the ball up field, and finding ways to get freaking Orson Charles into the game plan. That’s a winning combination, even if our defense plays 80% to their potential, so dial it up Bobo and get your athletes the ball.

Ohhh, ok GT Joe, so I guess the 6-year graduation rates of such schools as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, and Johns Hopkins all being over 90% means they are a bunch of retards.

Yes, the might GT ranked higher than UGA on this report. I am ok with that, but to call UGA out when they are still on the top 100 list in the entire country is a weak argument. Kinda like the one you used to justify lower graduation rates for your football program.

Beast from the East- I for one discount no one on our schedule. Im really suprised that CMR actually put up 59 on the weaker opponent. I was really shocked at that because normally that does not happen. Another thing that has me concerned is how for the past several years Ga has played down to the other teams level. The weaker the team the more relaxed we seem to play. That comes from the top I for one would love to see CMR show more fire during the game instaed of being so cool and collective.

Love the optimism. You said the next few years should be off the charts. What can we expect and when? Is it 10 wins next year and undefeated the year after?

I have concerns that we won’t have any depth at RB next year and we are losing at least 2 and probably 3 OL next year plus you gotta figure,if the last 5 years are any indication, that we will lose at LEAST one more to injury or leaving the team so that will leave us even more paper thin next year. I see only storm clouds on the horizon and I see the Richt defenders calling us “young” yet again next season. We are the Dick Clark of football (seemingly perpetually young)

Is that why it is hard to have debates on Georgia tek blogs ?

Are you certain it is not because the Georgia tek fans, both of you, spend all day every day at your work in the UGA blog, ignoring that you don’t graduate your football players, and that you are on back-to-back NCAA PROBATION in FOOTBALL, while you play NO ONE with Paul Johnson proclaiming that he wants to play schedules like are playing. Which also, therefore explains why you have blown up half the seats in GRANT field.

I know 1 thing for certain. Mark Richt is on the hotseat at UGA and if he loses to Florida or loses to ANYONE else on this “schedule” he has the rest of the season, he is toast; and you come in here to talk about THAT while you are 1-9 vs him. What does that tell you ?

I think Coach Richt is right, while I was extremely disappointed the first 2 games I did see big improvement from the Boise State to South Carolina games. He does have a team that can win the rest of their games, especially if they come prepared and play them one at a time. No more games where they are just going through the motions Boise State, UCF in the bowl game, also no more gimme games where they give the other team points by loss of focus and players taking plays off i.e. # 83 on defense and # 71 on offense that cost them the South Carolina game. Anyway I hope they do win the rest of them and this fire Richt talk becomes a thing of the past.

You honestly believe the football players are Engineering majors? I have friends at Tech that had to get an Institutional override into a Poetic Writing class to fill their electives, but it is only there for athletes, and have to get special permission to fill a seat in that class if they are not in the athletic program. So engineering is not a major for all Georgia Tech players, more like 10%. Tech still has Management majors, Philosophy, Psychology, and Interior Design majors, so don’t act like y’all are all bad a engineers and demand only the highest quality of minds and athletes.

Once again, my point is that Tech offers classes to get kids through the program, just like all other schools, so your students are not any smarter than other schools.

I was not dismissing anybody but of course, you didn’t bother to read, just get offensive. It was my evaluation based on what I saw from Saturday. I think if you check around with the other sports agencies outside of Florida you might find a lot of what I put down in the blog, makes sense. Unlike you, I at least give a reason for my statements, other than, “Tenn. might just make mush out of UGAS”. What do you base your opinion on. Facts, should be used, not silly statements. UF right now on offense is two RB’s, and if not for them, exactly what would your QWB’s statistics be. Who accounted for over 200 yards on offense for your team against Tenn? Your Rb, as I said. As I also said, Tenn. has no running backs and now they have lost their star receiver. Now, given out your well thought out comments that you always state, with lost of supporting statements, why is Tenn. going to make mush of UGA wehen they play? Try to support your ststements with substantial suporting material, not your opinion. In other words, don’t let your hate of a team cloud your perception, if you have any, and back it up with facts, when you take the time to evaluate.

We have played no one, but we also destroyed everyone. If the wins were 35-14 or 28-10, I wouldn’t be that excited. But we are talking about complete dismantling of teams, two of which are FBS teams. We lead the country in scoring and total yards, and rush yards when all the big schools are ALSO playing creampuffs.

Contractor: if you are so smart and have an MBA etc., why are you a “contractor”? LOL. Get a real job, or own a business.

“Tampa: hard to get good grades at GT.”

Make up your mind GT Joe. 1st you said that Georgia tek football players have the highest high school SAT score in 2007 and provided us to the URL link dated 2008 about 2007 SAT high school scores. 2nd you tell us that you didn’t offer to the # 1 RB in the NATION because he was an idiot, you said and a special project you added about Isaiah Crowell specifically. That you only take the top students at Georgia tek for football. 3rd you reply to the grad rates at Georgia tek at 49 percent (less than half all the football players at tek) and said that’s about the same in your view with UGA at 57 percent grad rates – both current the latest release available on the teams from the NCAA itself, which doesn’t track SAT scores in 2011 from 2007.

The question I have is, with us trying to talk about Mark Richt and at the same time keep up with the blog you DOMINATE with this B.S. answering you instead of fussing among ourselves about how Mark Richt doesn’t beat the top teams and loses to the bottom-feeders at the rate of 1 a season too, what happens to these brainiacs at Georgia tek in football that they are against said coach 1-9 and all of them FLUNK OUT ?

What happens to the football players once they get there to Georgia tek ?
(1) they don’t graduate and none of them are engineers (mgt majors)
(2) they lose to us every year but 1 of this coach we are all fed up with after 11 years

Not sure how a team that started the season 0-2 is a “team on the rise” as Richt put it…or how Murray claims that “guys are playing ‘great’ football.” Talk is cheap…actions speak volumes. Right now, and for a quite a while, UGA has been all talk.

when you are lying so low that you are with the whale $hit, then I guess really there is nowhere to go but up.

But Richt is definitely rising, like hot air filling the Velvet Glove….

The good thing is that Richt is a dead man walking.

The sorry season is a small price to pay to exorcise us all from Marjoe Mark Richt and his Clowns…

Good riddance!

“War Chicken- Even your own coach said yall should have lost the game! At least he has the guts to admit who the better team was.”

DJ Dawg

What kind of hogwash is that ? Were you even watching the same game as the rest of us ? We GAVE 28 points to South Carolina, handed to them by all the players YOU SAY are our best players. Our QB, by himself handed the game to South Carolina. And, our kick-off returner – turned his special teams’ Garo Yepremian Super Bowl VII impersonation of his flailing pass with his flailing tackle on the punt return team.

Notice, if you will – who the 2 players were prior to kick-off the prior game who BOTH went running to their Twitter account, Aaron Murray to brag before kick-off how he was going to go to the Georgia Dome where I already was at that moment and kick him some Boise State a** and — — —- Brandon Boykin goes and runs to his Twitter account to brag pre-game for the # 1 best coach in America 2-time Bear Bryant Award Winning Coach Chris Petersen and says I dare you to kick-off to me.

Mark Richt ?

Oh, that’s ok. You will just have to go out there and back it up now. UGA has the better football team ?

DJ Dawg ?

Exactly. There isn’t another team as good as we are.

Therefore, we lose 2 more games, as always.

The only really difficult team UGA will face the rest of the year is Florida, and UGA has always done well v/s the gators when they have a bye week before the game.

If Georgia plays like they did against USC the rest of the year without turnovers getting turned into 7 points each, I see no reason they can’t run the table.

All CMR has to do to stabilize his program is to just win his next game and his next and his next and do that for maybe two more seasons in 012, 013 and he will have solidified his job and then, maybe we can cut him another 4 or 5 year deal.

What is not to understand here? Yes, over two years, he can afford to lose one or two, just not right now. He is a competitor ……………he knows well how this BIG TIME COACHING game is played.

I think we’ll handle Mississippi with ease, BUT this is not Costal Carolina so we’ve got to play hard. The Dawgs look like a different team than the team that started the season, but it seems like this has become the way the Dawgs are. Why can’t we be ready at the beginning of the season? What ever they’re doing in pre season training ISN’T ENOUGH!
“GO DAWGS”!
