Really impressed with Malcome’s effort.Good,hard running style.He looked like he wanted to make the most out of his opportunity.Also Murray’s TD pass to A.White in the corner was a thing of beauty.Wish he could throw ‘em all like that.

Dear 11-3, HOW, pray tell me HOW does that make “LSU has been SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than Mark Richt over this entire Mark Richt era.” ?
_____________________________________________________
You are not real big on facts, are you now The Real Phil, sir ?
Knowshon Moreno had his eyes gouged, and now in reply to this Mark Richt is better than LSU in these 11 years of 2 National Championships ALREADY for LSU :
3-11 Mark Richt vs teams finishing top 10 since 2001
9-12 LSU vs teams finishing top 10 since 2001

Just claim to be a homer and let it slide at that The Real Phil; certainly let’s not have any REAL FACTS real Phil – just your REAL LIES. No one who doesn’t agree with your REAL LIES should be allowed to post to your blog, you say.

why bring up old stats. this is not the same ga team that we have seen over the last 6 years

Old Stats ?
That for 11 seasons of Mark Richt, that he is 3 wins 11 losses to teams finishing in the top 10, while at the same time, LSU has 2 National Championships ALREADY with their 9 wins 12 losses to teams finishing in the top 10 – including THREE (3) already this season for LSU ?
Facts are that this season is just MORE OF THE SAME for LSU being SIGNIFICANTLY better than Mark Richt the ENTIRE MARK RICHT ERA – this season especially so.

I will be at the Dome. I was at the Dome for our game with Boise State and wore the Bust Boise Jersey to mow the yard just now. I was at the Dome when we played in the Sugar Bowl you all said never happened there. I was at the Dome when we played LSU last time and enjoyed their jambalaya very much. I’ll be there this time too. Why wouldn’t I be ?
As for what we are supposed to do, well we are supposed to say now pre-game having beat no team who will finish in the top 10 since 2006 when we beat Auburn but lost 4 games that year, that we will beat LSU who has already beat 3 teams who finish the season in the top 10 and has another such win coming this season alone – when Mark Richt hasn’t beat more teams finishing in the top 10 all 11 entire seasons combined.
We should just ban anyone who thinks that it is amusing how great we are in face of the facts :
# 62 in the nation interceptions thrown UGA
# 1 in the nation interceptions thrown LSU
# 73 in the nation sacks allowed UGA
# 13 in the nation sacks allowed LSU
# 57 in the nation Red Zone Offense UGA
# 2 in the nation Red Zone Offense LSU
# 70 in the nation Fumbles Lost UGA
# 1 in the nation Fumbles Lost LSU
# 95 in the nation Kick-Off Return Defense UGA
# 41 in the nation Kick-Off Return Defense LSU
# 98 in the nation Net Punting UGA
# 6 in the nation Net Punting LSU
# 114 Punt Return Yards Defense UGA
# 4 Punt Return Yards Defense LSU
# 43 Strength of Schedule UGA
# 3 Strength of Schedule LSU
38-50 Won/Lost Record of teams beat 2011 UGA
67-42 Won/Lost Record of teams beat 2011 LSU
Tell everyone how great we are, that we aren’t the same this season without 33 different players given scholarships to play this game against LSU who will not even suit up for us for this game – while we brag how great we are for beating 4 SEC teams who are 6-6 today, one who is 1 game better than that, 1 team who is 2 games worse than that and another who is 4 games worse than that. Oh, and because we beat 3 teams out of conference who also suck.
What should we do ? Brag how great we are. LSU is going to kick our fannies – especially 0-8 vs teams finishing in the top 25 his entire career here – Aaron Murray.
Pardon me if I don’t guzzle me some Kool-Aid at the dome.

Destin Dawg….
Real classy post. I don’t believe I ever called Richt or Bobo insulting names when Georgia was struggling the last couple of years.
If you are watching the FSU-Florida game…..you failed to mention that that dominating FSU team had 95 yards of TOTAL offense against Florida.
But, I agree, Florida will be behind both Georgia and SC until they get their offensive problems fixed, and it is not going to be an easy fix because of the youth and lack of talent and depth on that side of the ball. But the defense is very young and very, very good.

also Destin Dawg…..
Did you see FSU’s 5-star DE commit, Dante Fowler, sitting in the south end zone with a Florida jersey and hat on (and has made three visits to Florida in the last 3 weeks)……along with another 5-star DE Johnathan Bullard for NC. Fowler had to be impressed with the atmosphere in THE SWAMP, the play of the Gator defense, and the clear need for talented DEs on the depth chart. It will be interesting to see if he switches to the Gators or not. He seems to have a clear interest in doing so.

I think you are going to be surprised by how well Georgia is going to play against LSU. Georgia has a lot of weapons on both sides of the ball. But I do think LSU’s depth and overall talent will take its toll by the end of the game. Georgia has a chance in this game.

“Thomas Brown is in fact BullDawg and to be honest with you on some accounts what he says does make sense. This is still a free country and we still have the right to free speech for a little while longer. Anyways I can still remember when he posted positive things about our Dawgs believe it or not. I guess I date myself back to 2006 on this blog.”

“I believe that this team has steadily improved as the season has gone along, yes there have been bumps and yes at times they haven’t played as well as they should have. But you know what the Dawgs are playing with confidence and have beat the teams that were on their schedule. We got over that mental block with the Gators and I do think that we match up well with LSU. ”
“Anyways PLEASE give it a rest, they might actually surprise you and everyone else but themselves next Saturday night in the Georgia Dome and send LSU back to Baton Rouge wondering what freight train ran over them.”
_____________________________________________________
You certainly are drinking the Kool-Aid for a team playing a team who has already beat 3 teams who finish this season in the top 10 while we have beat no team this season who finishes the season in the top 10 to continue the trend of Mark Richt against top teams. He also doesn’t beat all the bad teams he has played – LSU isn’t 1 of those Big Dawg, sir. The mental block over Florida is over ? 6 teams have already beat Florida this season, six (6.) And, because he is 3-8, he is over the mental block of Florida ? Georgia tek is ranked in NO POLL this morning and NEITHER is Auburn. We beat NO ONE, while LSU has beat these 3 teams FINISHING this season in the top 10 ALREADY.
With all due respect to you sir, give it a rest telling me we will have LSU wondering what freight train hit them when they leave town and suggesting that only your opinion be heard. Now. Today.

GT BOB,
UGA’s next task is to play for our conference championship. After that we will start preparing to get ready to play in a quality bowl game. Oh and I forgot, we will be preparing a pamphlet of El Paso for you to learn something about your bowl destination. Make sure to carry body armor or you will not have enough players to play come game time. El Paso is north ave. times ten for crime. If will make inner city Atlanta look like a retirement community in that area. If you are lucky, one of your tours during that time there will include the army firing range, where you will be entertained by cannon fire and a great meal of MRE’s. Your teams hotel will be armor plated to prevent you from getting shot by a drive by. You will have plenty of sun, and dust and cactus, so it should be very educational for you, since we all know that tech. players are all engineering students, microbiologist or math majors and need to be entertained.
See, even UGA worries about about it’s poor step sister. We don’t want you to get hurt, because we enjoy beating your butt too much every year, to watch you get depleted of returning starters. It is too bad you are not man enough to accept defeat. Who knows, maybe you can get a big east opponent so the stadium will be half empty like it is at most of your home games. You would feel right at home then. 500 tech. fans cheering you on. Until then, you left to gloat about another moral victory over the terrible UGA team. Let’s see now, that is 10 out of 11 moral victories now isn’t it. By your figuring then, tech,s record is 8 wins, 3 losses and 1 moral victory. A record any team would be happy to have. It gives you a right to come onto a blog and talk crap about the team that owns yours. One final thought little man, “Don’t Drink the Water”.
GO DAWGS and GATA

I think that UGA could beat LSU and I also think it would be a statement game that the program is back on track!!!!!
We can beat LSU if…..
1. .Bobo does a real good job with the offensive game plan. No way we can..pass on first…..run up the gut with a 180 pound tailback…and pass on third and long…..we have to have a hell of a good offensive game plan!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Murry can’t be off and on…..I think our receivers are the best lSU has seen all year…..MURRY can’t miss when they are open and the receivers can’t have drops!!!!!!
3. Screen passes to slow the rush…..and inside/bubble screens to the receivers…………….
4. Long passes on first down will NOT work…..Murry needs to have a rolling pocket so he has the run option……short to intermediate passing game…..play action if we can get any running game going.

I noticed a lot of our starters still in the game until the game was over. I totally agree that it was more important that the players show they can go for 60 minutes because LSU will dominate most of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4TH if our starters can’t go the entire game. LSU will not quit until the game is over. Most of their win’s are because they dominate the second half.
If the officials will not get involved in this game like they did a few years ago I think Georgia can play with LSU. Hopefully Murray has learned since the South Carolina game that if you don’t beat yourself that Georgia can beat anybody.

I will admit that Georgia did not have high ranked opponents this year but it is not our fault that the entire East part of the SEC are having rebuilding pains. That’s what happens when teams lose great coordinators and head coaches. It may be a blessing in disguises . Georgia has gotten better as the year has gone on without losing any of their big play makers. Usually after playing a devastating SEC schedule we would be lucky not to have lost 3 to 5 starters to injury. But this year our team has stayed intact without major injuries and that will take us a long way against teams like LSU.
Murray has got to release the ball fast but not into low percentage completion areas. Murray will not have much time to decide what to do but it is better to give LSU credit for tackling you for no gain or a few yards lost than for Murray to turn the ball over. If we no not beat ourselves Georgia can stay with LSU . Alabama stayed with them because they did not beat themselves . In fact it is my opinion that Alabama beat LSU but lost the game because of their field goal kicker. I don’t know what happened to Walsh this year but I sure hope he has figured it out he could be very important in the LSU game

LSU deserves NR 1 rank and if they win Sat then lets declare them National Champs unless there is a deserving team (no rematches, no going back thru teams that have already played and beaten ie AR, OR, and AL.
All top teams would like rematch with teams they lost to. We get one chance not best of three.

If we have one thing going for us it’s the fact that we always play LSU tough. I know we lost the last time we met but it was a good game and if we didn’t have that bogus penalty who knows how it would have turned out. I’m not taking anything away from LSU they have a great team and deserve to be where they are but UGA doesn’t fold to these guys and never has. If we play our game and don’t make stupid mistakes I think we’ll give them a run for their money.

We must be real Tech fans. UGA is a much larger school, many more alum that support the program, Many years ago GT was in the SEC. Our hero (Bobby Dodd) dropped out of the SEC. I will never understand why. And think about it, if you were a high school prospect and Tech offered you a scholarship along with UGA, Bama, LSU, UFL, Auburn, Tenn, ARK. and other SEC. schools where would you want to go? Not to mention Ohio St. Mich. N. Dame and all the other high profile conferences. What program would you pick? I’m not saying we should drop the program, but just remember its an uphill battle. And to my UGA friends I remind you GT anly beats you guys about once every 10 years or so. And when we do we crow about it. As you do when you beat the gators after 7 or 8 tries. So have some pity.

Does anyone here actually look at what happens on the field rather than just read what other people say about teams? LSU’s defense only a little bit better than the Dawgs. Statistically as well as factually. The Dawgs snuffed Auburn so badly that Moseley didn’t want to start anything by actually saying that the Dawg’s defense WAS better. The Dawg’s offense is better than LSU’s. They run the ball better but when forced to throw it they are not nearly as good as the Dawgs. The key to this game is whether the Dawgs can force LSU into being one dimensional. If the Dawgs stuff the run like Alabama did then we are looking at a major upset. The Dawgs have a better offense than Bama. Sure they can run the ball and Trent Richardson is a great back but they couldn’t score a touchdown against LSU. The Dawgs will. BAMA is supposed to be the best against the run… they gave up more yards to Auburn than the Dawgs did. Bama gave up 21 points to GA Southern… running the triple option. Tech runs the triple option better than GA Southern. Tech scored 17 points on the Dawgs. LSU couldn’t score a touchdown on Bama. LSU primarily runs the ball with the intent to grind opponents down. They didn’t grind down Bama and escaped with a win because Bama’s kicker choked. The Dawgs will stuff LSU’s run and force them to pass. LSU will assume they can stop the run only to find out that the Dawgs are the best balanced offense in the conference. Then the game comes down to special teams. A month ago that would have doomed the Dawgs. Not this time. We won’t kick it to Mathieu. LSU will kick it to Boykin and get burned.
Look at this way. If Bama’s defense is a 10 then LSU’s is a 9.5. But the Dawg’s defense is a 9. The Dawgs offense is an 8 and LSU’s offense is a 7. Take the net and that leaves the Dawgs a PLUS half point. LSU’s offense is good enough to win with their defense making up for the lack. They score alot of points on defense and special teams. Their offensive output gets better late once their opponent’s will is broken. The Dawgs did that to Auburn. They could have named the score after the middle of the 3rd quarter. Bama didn’t break and the Dawgs won’t either.
Dawgs win but I won’t call a score.

If Ga beats LSU and gets into Sugar bowl, how can LSU and Alabama play in the national championship game when only two teams from any given conference can play in the BCS Bowl games? Am I just missing something or is there a loop hole for LSU to play in national champinship game, even with a loss to Georgia.
