Well- if you are a Ga. fan, you need to be blowing this site up talking about how great Ga. looked today. THe defense looked fierce, and the offense played really well.

I’ve been a Richt supporter on these blogs for years – but I do remember being so frustrated while walking out of the dome in the 4th Q of the Boise game. I said then that we needed a new direction….

Very happy that IM not the person who makes those decisions and McGarity is. Until Boise, I had been a staunch Richt guy – and did jump back after the Miss st game – but even though it was for 1-2 weeks, ill be a sacrificial lamb and volunteer to eat crow on behalf of the haters.
When Bennett caught the 2nd TD, I was the only guy right in front of it on the opposite side of the hedges and cbs caught me fist pumping at 34 years old.
So much fun at the stadium today. God bless CMR and god bless our Dawgs! Beat UK!

@ Fire Bobo – he still made some calls at the end of the first half that puzzled me. The 2 fumbles by Crowell and the shanked punk by Butler were also unacceptable.

So I guess the Dawgs only grade a 99.

The single most complete performance by the Dawgs against a real opponent (Hawaii doesn’t count) since the 2005 SEC Championship game. I was there and all I have to say is…WOW.

30 first downs? Unbelievable.

We ran for 300 yards, they ran for 55.

Murray was brilliant and flawless.

Receivers made huge plays.

But most of all — the D grades out at A(+). I love what what Grantham has done with Jarvis Jones – while listed at LB, he really is playing DE a la Lawrence Taylor. He is in the backfield on every play and teams have to account for him at all times.

And the fans — great noise and atmosphere Dawg fans — that was fun — a lot of fun.

Congrats to our soon to be SEC East Division Champion Dawgs!!!

WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF GO DAWGS

to all of you that are bashing the “richt haters”, it is obvious from watching this season unfold that cmr owes them a huge debt. He was dangerously close to falling asleep at the wheel and piloting this program into oblivion. The irony of the whole thing is that now that we finally have his attention, he is apparently ready to (for now) pay attention to whats going on. In the end, his critics may very well end up saving his job

You Auburn fans should take notice, that’s how you win with class and y’all should be thankful that Mark Richt called off Murray.

If Richt was as classless as Chizik and he had not taken the ball out of Murrays hand it would have been 70 to 7.

Agree with godawgs92; CMR has definitely made the changes to turn this program around, albeit at a much later time than a lot of insightful people would have liked.

It was a great game and a great day to be a Georgia Bulldog! The way this team is gaining confidence and growing, the SECCG, in my mind, is no longer a sacrificial game for the Eastern division winner. Let the West champion get all the hype, etc. We can play loose and with everything to gain and nothing to lose.

My only wish is not to take the air out of the ball with half of the 3rd quarter remaining. For all those who were there, the last 23 minutes were maddening! As long as the other team has their 1st string in the game and are trying to score, I think we should continue to also try to score. If you want to play the 2nd string offense, I agree totally; but quit playing the clock with the game in hand so early. That’s why the stadium emptied and cannot blame our fans, although I stayed and even listened to the band for 20 minutes after the game. We owed AU what we gave them today and more.

Now, no let downs against UK, and let’s get ready to wreck Tech and have momentum going back to the Dome!

Again, great effort by all the coaches (CMR, CTG, CMB and assistants, and all the players! Enjoy it quick, be safe, be smart, and let’s continue what can be special.

All you ticket holders, let’s order the SECCG and bowl tickets and support this team that has worked so hard to make us proud.

Go Dawgs!!!

@ Larry Ware & all you other Richt lover’s:

I’m not hiding anywhere. What have we done yet? What? Not a thing. A streak against a bunch of lousy teams. We have not beaten a good team this year. For 5 years Richt we have put up with Richt’s inability to win big games. When we consistentyly win BIG games, win SEC and a National Championship, I’ll shut up. We will NEVER win a National Championship with Richt as head coach.

It’s amazing how we beat Auburn 45-7 and now we’re the next Powerhouse National Champion. Ya know, these other fans, who hop on our boards and rip our fans a new one for screaming about how we’re going go undefeated every year after winning a game, are right. You people sound delusional.

Did anyone see the BAGMAN, Trooper Taylor on the field today? Really, Auburn fans, are you proud of him? Or is he necessary as the bagman to get the recruits? Fat, hat on backwards, ready at an instant to incite the dirty play he exacerbated last year. As someone said above me where they would like to put that towel he waves.

Oh, and I guess we are not as sophisticated as the AU fans, Gary Danielson, when you said last year as the reason they cheered when our player was injured. There were a few AU players hurt today and there was NO cheering from the stands, until they were able to get up and walk off the field.

When our players sacked the QB, we didn’t grind our facemask into his chin. We didn’t hit him after the play was over 5-10 seconds. Bagman, it wasn’t your type of game.

Wow…just, wow. I’m not a Richt fan and get sick when I think of where this team would be with a better staff, but that was about as impressive as I’ve seen us play under him. We looked like we wanted to win. That’s something new. And, while I hate the fact that he may get a long term deal which will mean we will never win a title, I love seeing us play hard and win. There’s a stockpile of young talent here that will only get better. I hope we don’t waste it like we have in the past.

It sure was fun watching this game with a 2am start here in India! Finally our team played with some real emotion like when we beat LSU in the SECCG 2005 and in Athens 2004. Did this game remind anyone of the 2006 team that beat top 5 ranked AU 37-15? I feel much better after our dismantling of a very good AU team…..that beat SC and lost to only top 10 teams! Hold on to the ball IC and play more 2nd team when the game is over at the half! They need to contribute and enjoy by being on the field when it is not required because of situations like last week. Where are all the GT UF UA LSU and SC fans now? It will be interesting to see us play UK and hope we stay focused on that game only? 1030pm start in India since 12 noon there in Athens.

“Dave Cutler, sir, We will beat you because our Quarterback Aaron Murray is BETTER than your group of quarterbacks in this game. We have poor special teams, but our special teams, as poorly as they play, are significantly better than your special teams. Our Defense is stout vs the run. You have no Passing game, at all. None. Our Defense is so far superior to what you have you call a “defense.”
_____________________________________________
I love beating Auburn, and what a tackle by Quintavious Harrow. We came in # 14 and after a win over a team who never had any hope of ending this season in the top 25, a total annihilation as Chip Towers put it, we move up more. Boise State lost to the only other team on their schedule. Steve Spurrier tried his best, but Kentucky is a really sorry team. Aaron Murray had a great game. Georgia tek will certainly not be ranked; just as Auburn is not ranked. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we still haven’t beat a team who ends the season in the top 25. Still haven’t beat a team who is finishing top 10, either. Wish away all those issues all you want; act like God gave Mark Richt this victory; and what you are left with is exactly where we have been these 11 years. In the years we did well, we lost to teams who we should have beat and lost to the top teams too. Then, we got a bowl game against a poor opponent and was not a bowl game on the national stage. Can we do something this year ? You look at teams who look like world beaters vs teams who just aren’t good teams, and then you are brought to the reality that I still say Mark Richt is just going to quit. He seems to me to be carrying some heavy burden, even after the game tonight. You tried putting the win over Florida as a great win over a great team – all that stuff. Doesn’t fly does it ? Auburn 2011 ? Please. I love beating Auburn. I thank Aaron Murray, Carlton Thomas, the entire Defense, Todd Grantham, the addition of starters to the Special Teams, and our fans who were loud today. Is it ok with you, if we beat a team who ends up in the top 25 ? If we beat a team who ends up in the top 10 ? This is not the test. I would like to see us have this opportunity we have against LSU. Do I think what we did today gives us momentum vs such a team ? Do I think we will have a great match-up at season’s end in a bowl game on the national stage against a real team finishing the season in the top 10 ? I had every intention of coming in here and writing differently, gentleman; but, I read your comments 1st. Being a loyal true fan does not mean that you can come in here and say I told you so after beating that cruddy crappy football team. Do we have issues ? I didn’t see 1 today. And, I love beating Auburn, which we are only 1 game behind now after 119 years. I would not want to be Georgia tek, who you know watched our game (I didn’t watch their game.) Cannot see how Kentucky is any challenge or warm-up for LSU either. Exciting game. Well done all-around. Statement to those who think Mark Richt is great for another 4 years, so that he can recruit ? He has recruited for 11 years. Hater ? You have each of you posted nothing but crapola about this football coaching staff, its players and fanbase, the whole entire time you have posted to these blogs. Get over yourselves. Not Hardly. Statement Game vs this crudola of a team, this season, Auburn ?

Just hope you are never in that fox hole with the Richt haters. I agree with Lou Holtz that Richt is an outstanding coach and UGA is lucky to have him. I’m betting Penn State wishes he had been their coach for the past ten years. When the trolls can’t find anything substantive about Rich’s coaching to criticize, they attack him because he’s a good man.. That says volumes more about the trolls that it does about Richt. I hope he coaches at UGA as long as JoPa was at Penn State.

@Joey YES! Every post. Don’t care what he has to say.

Great win and finally a complete game by all aspects of the team. IC proved he is a freshman running back and I noticed that after every fumble he sat and watched. In the end he looked as if he got the message and ran as the running back Georgia recruited. Hopefully a year of seasoning will allow him to grow and mature.

Another point. When Georgia was crowned with the Fulmer Cup last year all I read her was that being mercilessly brought up. Who won it this year and why the down play?

Somebody, anybody please get on the Murray bandwagon with me. No, he doesn’t have Matthew Stafford’s cannon arm, but he’s got toughness and durability in spades. This guy is a BALLER and I think his toughness rubs off on the rest of the offensive squad. The offensive line and the receiving corps have a nastiness to them that I haven’t seen in a few years. His intelligence and game preparation is also way underrated. My man got LAID OUT yesterday on the qb keeper, and he POPPED RIGHT BACK UP. I guarantee that crap hurt like crazy, but he just walked back to the huddle. Teammates feed off that kind of stuff, and he deserves alot of credit.

Crowell took some big hits early, and I wondered how he would react. Seemed to make him run even harder.

Great to see the toughness, and hard-hitting all over the field. And smarts. I noticed a half dozen times a UGA player pull up when a pass was dropped, or an opponent ran out of bounds. In the past we sould have smacked em and got a PF flag. Ogletree pulled up twice himself. I don’t know if y’all watched ‘Tree yesterday, but he and JJ are near unblockable.

Honestly, it’s been a while since we’ve had a team like this – not ‘07, because they amassed lots of penalties.

Maybe ‘05?

Unbelievable performance. I’m still in shock at how well the Dawgs played. I had a sense that they were peaking (even predicted a 2 TD margin), but I didn’t see this coming. I had my doubts if CMR could get it going again, but they’ve been erased. This is the best coaching job he’s done at UGA. Amazing what a little desparation and some coaching maturity can accomplish at UGA. Dawgs might be starting a 3 or 4 year run here. Hey! I’m a Dawg optimist at heart. Go Dawgs!

Being a Dawg fan does not require a blind love of the head coach. Just because I desperately pull for UGA (and Richt) to win every game, doesn’t mean I have to like Richt. I for sure don’t hate him, but I happen to think something is wrong when UGA has had the #2 football program in the nation in recruiting in the last decade (Scout.com).All of that talent, yet since ‘05 have failed to win even the SEC East.

Even when you look back to ‘07 and the players from that team who are thriving in the NFL, how on earth did Richt manage to lose to two inferior teams (SC and UT)?

Do you have NO doubts about his ability?

Umm I predicted we would win by 2 TD’s against Auburn the other day

Why?

Because Auburn lost 16 starters from last years team

I also said there was no excuse in losing to FL this year and we barely beat a sorry FL team

I think I will keep posting comments until this staff can stop losing 2 games every year that they shouldnt lose to, beat FL 2 years in a row, and win the SEC East outright without having to wait for another east team we lost to earlier in the year lose out.

With the talent we have, and have had, this really is not that hard to accomplish

Todd Grantham has shown with the right coach in place what our D can do

Bobo showed yesterday what our offense can be with the right play calling period

The Richt critics (-not “haters”…I don’t hate anybody, and still thinks he’s a good man) are still here. So we beat 7 down right awful teams and finally beat a (barely) ranked team, and this after losing to 2 highly ranked teams…….and now we’re Crystal Trophy winners???

Enjoy the win…..I did as well. But you guys are as deluded as unicorn believers if you think we’re not gonna get squashed by 28 pts by LSU…….just sayin’

WOW! Now that was a complete game on both sides of the ball. Got to give kudo’s to Bobo – he knew Auburn’s defensive backs would be trying to make sure none of our speedy receivers go by them – so what does he do? – has Murray throw behind them after they turn and run to try and stay with the receiver. Too bad he did not let Murray keep passing. Love how IC runs (when he hangs onto the ball). The defense is playing outstanding – their q-back had happy feet all afternoon, and we shut down their two very good backs. Special teams did a great job also. GO DOGGIES!

Yes, this edition of UGA is possibly a very special one. WE DO HAVE the University of Kentucky upcoming and we need to win THAT GAME, as IT IS for the SEC East. KY is our biggest game of the season …………………so far.

UGA ought to score 32-55 points, because everyone else has. KY will likely get 16 on series of blown coverages or fumbles. THEY WILL play tough, hard nosed vs UGA to the end. Fumbles, and pic 6s and punts returned for TDs, all could show up to affect the score.

After that, well, um, we deal with the jellow jackets and then prepare for the DOME. Our last trip to the Ga Dome was not good ………………………..MAYBE it will remind us of playing badly and get us all pumped up.

Mixed emotions for me, personally.

Great day for the team. Great day for the Bulldawg Nation. Where has this team been hiding? Even though it was against a lame Auburn team – after losing 18 starters from last year – it was a very impressive performance.

However, my fear is that this will perpetuate Richt’s reign. I still think we would be better off with someone else who is totally committed to coaching and building adolescents into young, responsible men and not distracted by an off the field religious calling. For some reason Richt seems to feel that he has to go to Africa to make a difference when he can have a huge impact on young men right here in Georgia. Maybe he would have done better with a year-to-year contract. We all know that tenure delivers spotty results.

So, let’s put this in perspective. IMO we would be a strong contender for third place in the West and probably have a shot at the ACC title if we were in the ACC. We really won’t know what we have until we meet LSU in the dome. So, until then, I will withhold judgement on Richt and enjoy the success of the team.

Great team effort and I really like the chemistry of this team. And one reason the chemistry is good is because of people like Bruce Figgins. He never complains, plays anywhere the coaches want him to whether it was TE or FB. Great to see him score yesterday. He and Samuel are the poster kids for this team.

One more thing: I bashed Bobo earlier this year (I still don’t think he’s very smart or creative enough – and I know him) but he called a great game last night. Maybe Richt has been working with him or Bobo has gotten one of those “Ah-Ha” moments. Whatever it is, it appears to be working.

I blame CMR’s critics for losing the first two games of the year. All the negativity and the fairweather fans that didn’t support the team before we evn played the first game cost us against USC and Boise st. Negative carma from the media and fairweather fans calling for CMR’s job made it very difficult for the players to overcome against two top 10 teams early. The blame should be put squarely on the shoulders of the UGA fairweather fans (junkyard blog) for us not being undefeated to this point.

Flat Tire (et al Bobo haters): Early on, I don’t believe it was play-calling as much as playing a lot of freshmen. They’re seasoned now, and no longer freshmen. We actually got better after just the first game, but we got Ingramed….and Latimored. All the negative talk about Bobo’s play-calling because we’d try a run up the middle…well, that’s a standard, basic play of the run game. And, if the line blocks and the runner finds the seam/hole, then it’s a good play. Just like any other play; if it’s executed properly it’s a good play. As the season progressed, they got better at execution, culminating in a complete, balanced attack against Awbun.

Old Dog – I agree with you in that sometimes you wonder why CMR seems to come late to the party concerning changes – but I think you have to realize that the man puts the kids first – he wants to give as many of these kids a chance to play and contribute as he can – he wants to reward these kids for all of the hard work they do on scout teaams and practices. In a perfect world this is totally commendable and the right thing to do – I think he wants to have the whole apple pie – he wants to do the right thing AND win too. Unfortunately, in our “win at any cost” culture, he many times pays a high cost for doing right by these kids. I think he could easily just put the primo players on special teams and on and on – but then all of the kids who are not quite elite but who nonetheless bust their butts to make this a great program would get nothing as a reward. It’s great to win all of the time – but if you’re real about this you have to realize that there are kids, families and lives that need to be rewarded and nurtured in these big programs and if that means an infuriating loss now and again – well, life is bigger than football. I love to win and argue and all of that – but when I step away from it and go back to gardening and playing in my shop, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that CMR will not only do the right thing but he will make us proud in the process. It’s great to be a rabid fan and live for Saturdays but in the grand scheme of things – it is, and will always be, just a game.

I must admit that I was disgusted after the BS and SC games, however; I knew that the schedule was set up to our favor, and we had a decent chance of salvaging an above average season. I told my son during the DF Coordinator search that Grantham was the man for the job. I just loved his resume and I just had a gut feeling that he was the man for job. However, after the BS game I had my doubts, nevermind that we were missing key defensive components like Alec O. and Christian R. Next we lost a shootout to SC, and special teams and turnovers were the culprits of this loss. I did see defensive improvements during this game. Defensively, we just got better and better with each week. Offensively, we were helter skelter or very unpredictable. I had so many worries about our offensive line. Fast forward to the end of yesterday’s game; I was in total shock. Wow, what a great game. I am so proud of this team, and most importantly I am happy for CMR and Mike Bobo. I knew Grantham could get it done but since the BS game, I had my doubts about CMR and Bobo. Yes, I have always supported CMR just because of his character and faith, but I was growning frustrated. I was like why is the likes of Alabama and Auburn so great when we all are recruiting the same types of players and each are getting their fair share. I knew it had to be coaching. I am proud that CMR was willing to make some changes. I am thankful that our president realized we needed stability at the Athletic Director position; someone who would hold CMR more accountable in his results. All of these changes have translated into a tightly knitted team that is playing its best ball of the year. The dawgs are peaking just at the right time. Unfortunately, this year could be like ‘07 when we were arguably the best team in the country. This year could be another one of those years, and if this scenario happens, guess what, I will take it!!! I love this team and I am very thankful that CMR has been able to turn things around. Please keep the intensity level high. Go Dawgs!!!

SES PULE,

You mean all 35,000 of your fans that show up for your most important game like the one against Virginia tech. I guess you adhere to the philosophy that the loudest fart get’s noticed the most. You and your cohorts left a really bad smell on North Ave. on Thursday. You can try and act superior all you want, but please tell the folks here, just how many of your football players are taking a tough engineering course. How about, how many of them will graduate in four years, or however long they stay in your school? The latest statistics I saw on that had your players with a lower graduation rate than UGA’s. Must be that calculus course they have to take.
You would be best served to stay on your tech. blogs and pray the hearing goes well for you today against the infractions committee. Perhaps it will help you feel a little good, knowing that UGA is going to play in your prep. school of a stadium in November, and once again, leave you with another Christmas present, to cry over. Just think though, in a few more months, you can start to fantasize about football again and tell us how great you are going to be for 2012. I just know, UGA’s good football team is trembling in their boots about this upcoming scrimmage game this year and in future ones in 2012 and beyond. Try and work on more excuses as to why you can’t beat UGA or even some of the lower rated ACC teams.

Sorry AR Dawg but that DAWG won’t hunt. The idiot naysayers have done bigtime damage to our recruiting and to Dawg Nation in general. CMR is a damn good coach and a better person and since his job details much more than “just win at all costs”. Think Penn State, Ohio State, North Carolina, Miami, etc. We can all rest assured CMR will never bring that type of stuff down on UGA and Dawg Nation. It will take years to overcome all the negatives from the “Fire Richt” crowd and damaged recruiting images. Lots of the negatives came from GT, Bama, Florida, Auburn, etc. but when your own “family” think they know so much when in reality they probably can’t even spell football, that is enough to invite them and their ilk to support another team. ….

Dawg Tired -

If life and football was as simple as you think, then it would be a lot more predictable. Remember, by and large this is still a young team with 16 true freshmen seeing action for the first time in the SEC. Grantham is running a NFL style defense that has taken time for our kids to master. The key is that we are getting better each week. For the first time all year I can say I was proud of the OL. The OL finally put together a 4 qtr. game and by the middle of the 3rd qtr. started to wear out the AU defense. Three cheers for Tereshinski, because that new S&C program is clearly paying dividends.

The biggest difference over the last two weeks is Aaron Murray. The game against NMS really sparked him and he took that momentum and built on it yesterday. The guy is playing lights out. Lets hope it continues!

Thanks for your thoughts DawgByte. The o-line certainly did look awesome yesterday. I also liked how the backs hit the holes running hard N to S. Everybody just seemed to be playing at a level of intensity we have not seen the last couple of years.

Look, here is the real deal on all the fire CMR debate….CMR is only as good as the people he surrounds hmself with, including players and coaches…CMR is a damn good recruiter, which should transfer into elite teams that win titles (hasn’t transpired). However, his choice of coaches has been his achilles heel…Willie Vanillie was a complete disaster and when coupled with an inexperienced Bozo (the clown at times) the program spent several years circling the bowl!!! Becaue of church and all the other non football related reasons, CMR would not make the necessary and timely changes!!! CMR created all the heat he has received in the press and the blogs…he is not a victim….he desrved it!!!!

Finally, the choice to TG has got this program headed in the right direction and probably saved his butt in the long term. Pretty easy decision by the way….I am not a big Bozo fan, but TG and the stout D makes up for a lot of Bozos short comings. Richt will leave the program before he fires Bozo. Having swallowed that bitter pill, makes me pull that much harder for the successes of TG and the D side of the ball…dont get me wrong here, I love a lot of the kids on the O side of the ball and what they have accomplished (other than Crowell is way soft!!), just no faith in Bozo week in and week out…May be from all the years watching under center at UGA looking out the ear hole of his helmet from the prior play…lots of painful moments!!!

I about fell out of my chair watching CMR in the middle of the Team chanting before pregame!! He needs to bring that intensity and leadership every game…leave the church and charity stuff for Sundays…It appears CMR has the program headed in a positive direction, let’s just hope he can build on the current momentum…There will be derailments along the way which is expected in the SEC so long as we maintain consistency week in and week out…..

DawgByte: Your last two posts are spot on. I’ve always been a little…I guess disappointed in our home crowds leaving early etc; sometimes not even being loud when we should be. We should be there until the last whistle, then cheer the team as they leave for the locker rooms. The players eat that stuff up and they really do rely a good bit on our being loud (evidenced by them sometimes waving their arms up and down to get us going). A certain program even calls it “The Twelfth Man”. Leaving to beat the traffic? Hogwash. Stay and cheer em on as the leave the field! Relax and stay for the Redcoat Band’s performance afterward. Shadows growing on the field to the strains of “Tara’s Theme”….goodlawdamercy! It’s just righteous.

Thank you Kasay and thank you Tereshinski . You may be close to being a psychotic at times but your old school strength and conditioning philosophy was exactly what this team needed. All that work is paying off now. We are 9 games into the year and look strong. Every team can’t say that. Last year this time our guy’s were worn out by the second half and could not compete in the fourth quarter. This year is like watching a different team.
We can still lose games that we should win if we have a lot of mistakes but at least I feel confident that another team won’t beat us because physically we can not stay with them. That’s why last year was so painful at the end of the year. Physically we couldn’t compete against a good team.
Great job coaches and to the players for buying into the changes.

BREAKING NEWS… just got off the phone with my nephew, R-Soph on the D, he says although it’s still early, but C Thomas got his bell rung(and actually went over to Auburns side after the hit), and wouldn’t doubt if he were unavailable this Saturday. That, along with Crowell is simply still not a 100%, from 3 different injuries(shin, wrist and ribs), Harton may be getting a whole lot more playing time. Good thing it’s Kentucky this week.

Also says that the defense has so much confidence right now that they’re not scared of anyone.

DAWG tired,

I believe these young kids at the skill positions are still in the learning mode but they are on a steep curve and have done great. Considering the team that we should have next year, if we can get a couple more big uglies for the OL, I think the DAWGS will have returned. To get these kids to the point where they are now, takes coaching. Even Bobo did a very good job yesterday. Auburn didn’t have an answer for either the defense or the offense. Hard to believe that S.C. lost to them. The win by UGA yesterday, must have caused “Old Stevie Boy Wonder Spurrier” heart problems. His challenge about, UGA proving they can win a must game, must have made him look like the fool he is, even to his own fan base and they are obsessed about UGA already. Wait till next year when UGA smashes them in their own home.

GO DAWGS and GATA

Nothing can please you Old Dog. Yes, the last two seasons were awful. Teams have cycles, but good coaches prove their worth over time. Richt has done that, averaging between 9-10 wins over 11 years. Going to the SEC championship for the 4th time in those 11 years. His record compares very favorably to Dooley’s. You probably wanted Dooley fired after the ‘79 season, when we went 5 and lost 31-0 to UVA on homecoming. Would we have won so dominantly the following season without Dooley ? Take your glass half-full attitude somewhere else. The slogan ” Firings will continue until morale improves ” describes your attitude perfectly, sir. By the way, how has Tennessee done since firning Fulmer ? That was a great move , wasn’t it ?

Well i am proud of our team here . It is my feeling that Grantham deserves a raise as the man knows how to coach defense and with the young team we have the sky is the limit for the upcoming years. I would have to say all the coaches are doing a fine job coaching up to say the least. I also like have to point out that coach Lakatos knows what he is doing well and i am glad we got him on our staff.

Also think about the recruiting sector as well. The way this team has been playing will open up a lot of opportunities for being able to get top notch recruits. We all know recruits have been watching this team that have verbally committed as well as those that have been contacted about playing for Georgia. I am so proud of the way the freshmen we have this year playing like they are.

I would say more but a lot of you have already spoken what if anything could be said. I know you all remember the saying from that movie of which i forgot the name of “If you build it , they will come.”

Well it certainly looks like to me that a fine football team is being built and coming of age and the fans and the victories will come. I see us getting a NC within the next year or two. Just a gut feeling of mine and i am usually right in my gut feelings there.

The way this team has rebounded from the first 2 losses is a good learning experiance for any of us out there in this game of life we all live in fact that when the chips are down in our lives all we have to do is keep praying and working hard and never giving up and God and life in general will improve.

Flat tire, Richt’s record against LSU and Alabama is strong . Here are the results during his tenure :

2002 : GA 27 ALA 25 in Tuscaloosa
2003: LSU 17 GA 10
GA 37 ALA 23
2004: GA 45 LSU 16
2005: GA 34 LSU 14 ( SECCG)
2006:did not play either of them
2007:GA 26 ALA 23 in Tuscaloosa
2008 : GA 52 LSU 38 in Baton Rouge
ALA 41 UGA 30

UGA won 6 of 8 contests against these 2 teams from 2002 to 2008, many of them away games
and one of them for the SEC title. My point is Richt has more than held his own against Saban and Miles. How does a 75% success rate show he can’t stack up to those coaches ? Teams win the MNC based on polls ( voting). Richt’s record against BAMA and LSU was not voted on, he kicked their butts 6 of 8 times. Deal with it. You are not a UGA fan, just another loser troll trying to stir the pot.

This team is loaded with talent, both sides of the ball, and the kicking game. It took them some time to gell, with this nucleus we “should” have the makings of a successful program for the forseeable future. It’s Richt’s responsibility to manage the issues, the players, the program, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. A huge, never ending, stressful job, that he’s compensated for very well. If he doesn’t have the committment and dedication to give it his all, I can certainly understand that. It’s one of the toughest, most time consuming jobs in America.

The win over Auburn was significant because there was something on the line. The SEC East and a spot in the SECCG is still “highly” possible because of that win.

For the record I’m happy for CMR, Bobo, Granthan, Friend, all the Dawg coaches, for the entire team, the alumni, and for the fans. I hope things continue to improve, see my above post, and Mark Richt stays focused on his job. With McGarity there to support him there’s a good chance he continues to build on the recent successes. I think a beatdown like we saw yesterday only comes along once in a blue moon. I just want us to be competitive and win our share of the “great” games. The rest will take care of itself.

I lost it after the 2008 AL debacle with better talent we couldnt even score a TD nor FG in the 1st half with 4 NFL starters

I realized then that this staff had the keys to a fine car but had no idea how to crank it.

In my opinion looking at the talent at RB WR QB and Defense thats returning anything less than 11-1 next season in my opinion is a failure

But again I refuse to drink from the kool-aid bar knowing full well this staff always has at least 2 games they will lose do to lack of preparation and poor conservative play calling.

Im glad your only great point about Richt is how well he has done against AL and LSU

Richt has done well against Ole Miss and Miss St Vandy and KY too

He hasnt done as well against FL the most important win UGA has on its schedule

Like Mobile Dawg said when was the last major upset UGA had?

The 2005 LSU game and thats been a long time for one of the highest paid coaches in college football.

Where it counts

Richt has never gone undefeated in the east
Richt is 30-26 against Top 25 opponents
Richt is 8-11 vs ranked teams
We just beat a ranked opponent for the 1st time in 2 yrs
Richt has a terrible record against our main rival FL

Im glad he has a winning record against LSU and Bama but Guess what moron

LSU and AL have 3 national titles during Richts tenure and a possible 4th comming up and when you add FL thats 5 National Titles with possibly 6 on the way and UGA hasnt even sniffed one

So have some more of your brewmaster machine made kool-aid Mr. Feable Mind

I realized a while back that it’s fruitless to debate facts with people who don’t base their opinions on them. I read a quote a while back that describes a portion of the fan base to a “T”, ” you can’t remove with logic, what wasn’t put there with logic in the first place”.

I agree

Whats funny is all I said was Miles and Saban have shown how to win

I never said anything about Richts record against them. But feable minded brewmaster somehow got stuck on Richts record head to head

The things I posted earlier about

record in the east
record against top 25 and top 10 opponents are the most important and if you are successful in that area then you have everything to brag about

because thats what people look at

If Flat Tire would look at Richts numbers from 01-07, he would see a winning percentage in those areas comparable to Saban and Miles. It takes a team to win championships. Players can win games, teams win championships. In 08 we started the demise of the team. In 11, we are getting our team back!

Congratulations Dawgs,on a great win. This is a very young team that needed time to gel and mature. They’ve improved steadily, and their future is very bright, this season and beyond.

This is for UGA89- Crowell is a top 10 running back. His only problem is strength and conditioning. His attitude is far from apathetic. I have spoken to him and he wants to be great and he loves being a Dawg.

A full off-season in the weight room will produce a rock-toting terror next year.

And everyone who is perfect and has never made a mistake or had a lapse in judgment can keep talking about his attitude, his supposed lack of discipline, and his alleged ME complex. Everyone else should be advised that Isaiah suffers from none of that. He is just an 18 year old kid away from home for the first time and playing football at a major SEC program…all while trying to grow up and find his way.

Give the kid a break. And get his autograph… because he is going to become one of the best running backs UGA has ever had before he’s through.

Count on it.

Crowell’s attitude straightened up when Thomas showed him he could run the ball and not ask to come out of the game…Enough Said.

I will bite. Again Ga may win the SEC. But they ruined their chance at a national championship with the first two losses. period. will be the only SEC team i can remember in the last 15 years to win the conference (if they beat LSU) 3 times yet not get a chance to go to the big dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what makes me sick. First time (this year) in 30 years to beat FL and Tenn in the same year. that record is unacceptable to me……Show me you can run the table and win a national title……Then GA is back.

@RMikel58

You’re right. This isn’t a season that will bring a National Championship to Athens. The slow start guaranteed that. Georgia will probably play in the Sugar Bowl if they win the SECCG. If the chalk holds and LSU wins, then Bama will probably go to the Sugar, and that’s what should happen.

Still, the Dawgs have made great progress this year and the goal should be to build on that for next year. We’re headed in the right direction now, and we don’t need to look backward.

GATA!!!

Would all of you “Coach Richt is the greatest…now” crowd still be thinking the same if the Vandy player had picked up that blocked punt and carried it all the way to the end zone, winning the game?

I really hope Coach Richt is not given an extension. I agree there is a problem of who to replace him with. Why not just keep him on a year-by-year basis. That keeps his feet to the fire and makes sure he has skin in the game (mix metaphors much?).

Wow, let’s revel in a complete game victory! That’s the first one this season. It’s not like UGA does it game in and game out. If they would, then maybe Richt and Co. would be supported by everyone. I for one have seen too many incomplete games to feel that Richt and Co. will EVER win a BCS championship. If you are satisfied with 9-3 or 10-2, you’ve got what you want. Remind me, has Richt and Co. EVER gone undefeated? What is the record against ranked teams? To be the best you’ve got to beat the best.

Actually, this is the first time that Mark Richt has coached a team to 8 consecutive wins. Good for him!

I think that I could do better with the resources available in Athens. You’ve got my number, if you’re interested.
