Just take care of Tech and worry about Alabama in Dec. Sure would be funny if Auburn upsets Alabama. The whole ESPN crew would have heart attacks and die; then Derick Dooley would have a job while he collects his buyout from Tennessee.

The Georgia defense can shut Rol Tide Roll down. Bama should have lost to LSU who ws almost beaten by Ole Miss.

I call the game even. I think that Florida would beat Alabama. Florida beat Texas AM. It’s all set up beautifully for UGA. UGA needs to just play to potential. The OL is the weak link but they are getting better.

It’s time for Mark Richt to make Kirby Smart pay for turning him down a few years ago. Also look for Todd Grantham to be licking his chops to outcoach Saban.

I think Grantham will outcoach Saban in this game, and Richt will outcoach Smart, it’s personal, and it will be ugly for Alabama.

Georgia won’t just win, Georgia will completely embarrass Alabama, and the media will no longer be talking about Nick Saban and Alabama.

Saban will enjoy being the medai darling for 12 more days….

Saban’s clock is ticking……..

And Saban’s team is going down in an EPIC embarrassing lopsided loss that will make AJ cry and Saban wish for Texas A & M.

Beatdown coming…..

1. I think Alabama had their bad game of the year and although I hope they have another. I am not so sure we can beat them.

2. IF we were to beat Tech and Alabama, I am not sure it will be against Notre Dame. I am not sure they are good enough to beat USC.

3. I wouldn’t bet on Oregon winning out either.

4 GT Bob that is because Notre Dame would be about 3-8 if they played in the SEC. And if we do by some miracle get to play them, only a miracle would prevent UGA from wiping the field up with them. I think them and you would be a close game.

5. IF Notre Dame loses to USC and we win out, will Florida be the other team in the Championship? IF Murray hadn’t choked when we played Florida, UGA wins by 20. IF he doesn’t choke and we play them again, we will beat them by 20.

6. The odds makers should rank the teams. They don’t care if the team has a loss at the beginning or the end of the season. They look at teams like SC and don’t rank a team that isnt as good as them above them because they lost to Florida and LSU even if that team is undefeated or has only one loss. It is moronic that losing a game near the end of the season will get you ranked lower than a team that lost a game at the first of the season.

Hopeful but cautious. Mindfull of the fact that UGA has not been to the big “dance” since 1980. That’s a long time for a so called SEC Powerhouse team in a State with some of the best high school football talent in the country. It seems that when expectations are this high bad things happen for the dawgs. Examples are this year’s South Carolina game, the Al game (”blackout”)in Athens and the long “streak” against Florida.

In this year’s S.C. game, the team and coaches showed up for the game and reminded me of a bunch of drunks with a hangover. Later, Shawn williams had to call a teammate a loafer and soft to inspire and wake the sleeping giant. This team remains a mystery.

@ voice of reason….you are a terrible example of a wasted human being….how could you even think of calling me a “low rent fantard”. I’ll remind you that we sold most of what is now Alabama for less than 50 cents per acre during the great Yahoo Land Scandal of 1795. Now, you have annointed yourself as some sort of High Commisioner of Mobile Home Park Proporiety. Three cheers to you for the proper nomenclature you display in your choosing to use mobile home as opposed to trailer. Perhaps we did leave some good blood there abouts. In fact our most morally correct Leader in early Georgia was Senator/Governor George Troope, who returned from Washington to leave the Senate early in order to seek and regain the governorship(successfully) in order to try to rescind the morally corrupt Yahoo Land Act of 1795 (unsucessfully)….but I digress, One must tend to one’s duty to correct even the slightest hint of a misconstued shot toward the Mobile home industry. Of interest to lovers of the fine city of Tuscaloosa (guilty), is that Governor Troope spent his childhood, or a part thereof, as a good fortuned son of a very successful early resident of the High Bluff Area of the Black Warrior River in the late 1700s in the colony/state of Georgia. Yes, not only Alabama, but also Tuscaloosa, was a part of the Great State of Georgia until we decided (foolishly) to sell it. @Voice of Reason it is so noted that your early am entry into the blogosphere fails to denote a casually attired, late riser wearing leatherslipers and a silk coffee jacket as your highly esteemed position, albeit self appointed, would seem to require….rather, I must now envision your state issue, bright orange vest used efficiently both as a highway workers vest, state prisoner variety, or that of the deer hunter poised for action. Still, you find time in your early dawn rash of community duties to defend what you seem to see as something worthy of your esteemed defense. In short sir, it not worthy. You see, we have continued our own esteemed defense of integrity, though sir, we are fully appeciative of your kind offer to trek back East to, shall we say, “help out”. No need sir, but should the need arise, do tell us to which white oak tree nearest the courthouse in Tuscaloosa shall we nail and affix the message of distress. Thanks and nice shot. I go by Dog in Nam because that is what and where I am. Also go by Bill Holmes. Nice talking to you. Saban has really brought you guys back in a hurry. I’m truly happy for you guys. But the decent bloggers among us, and there are quite a few, really need to try and bring some sort of decency back to this thing. All my Georgia friends and I have always gotten along with Alabama guys. i think most of this nastiness on all sides is coming from guys who probably didn’t attend either institution…..but they have their rights as well, and I think they are just as deserving of time as any and we don’t limit or want to limit who loives UGA. I don’t worry about the few that seem to so upset you guys. If you really kjbnow many UGA folks then usually you are not in this discussion unless in humor or when it really needs a voice of reason. UGA deserves a shot just as well as the next. The USC guy here that is sick of UGA, now because we were “skinned alive”….. you know, even the USC players saw in the UGA players’ eyes that they had given up……that is not a good thing, but it has happened. But, the fact that we got that under control and started to play like we can, which can be lights out, is a sign of good coaching, not the other way around…but whatever you believe, please do not fall into this camp of apparently USC guys who just can’t get over the fact that we lost only one game and beat a team that beat them or whatever…it is what it is….and @we run the east welcome to your new found position, but this is 2 years straight that y’all had late season difficulties….actually more than 2 years….bvest of luck USC is a quality place and USC have quality alums….but, so do we, and you all know it…….so what is it …now that we are pulling ourselves togrther and proving to be a hell of a team, we are suppoised to all act like it doesn’t count or it ain’t real….well, it is real and there are many surviving witnessess….we are playing some really good, tough,highly skilled ball now and have been for a while….anyway, just get over it man…like voice of reason here, just blow up your chest and beat everyone you play like Alabama almost did….we have beat USC many, mnay times over the years, and all my USC friends tell me that you guys tend to have problems late in the year….is that UGA’s fault now….come on. man….aw hell, we’ll take full responsibility for that too….just play ball with us….don’t pick it up and go home with it…..we got a team loaded with top talent and all you guys know it….at least let us play on the same terms as you guys…..anyway @ Voice Of Reason, nice talking to you and good luck to UA

Got blown out by South Carolina and barely beat Florida that had 6 turnovers many self induced. Bama has played 4 teams in the top 20 and only lost one to Texas A&M who is playing as good as any team in the country right now. UGA did not have to play LSU, Alabama, Mississippi State or Texas A&M.

The link below is a whiney article by a reporter and Big Ten alum, but scroll down to the included map of the US by state titled “Supply of Per Capita Football Talent-FBS Rosters” by a geographer, presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The state of Georgia has 1.74 FBS players, with national norm set at 1.00. Forget the naormalized math part, and just look at the math. A quote about the map from the article:

“It pretty clearly shows what Goudge referred to as the “pigskin cult” of the south, to which the Big Ten footprint does not extend. With the glaring exception of Ohio, there is no dark red in Big Ten country; the map only gets paler and paler the further Northeast it extends, where there are more televisions but fewer prospects.”

Only Tech’s offense can save them Saturday. If the Dawgs learned their lessons well against GA Southern then Moobs will have to pull something out of his arse to even have a chance. They do a good job but remember how Iowa ate them alive in the bowl game a couple years back? That’s because they were prepared… the Dawgs actually have game experience against the triple option. It will be interesting to see how we get after it Saturday.
It looks like the Garbage Can Scavengers are pretty bad vs the pass. They will be loading the box to stop the run so we can’t play keep away. I hope Bobo decides to blitzkrieg them and put them in a hole early. If we can force them into catch up mode it is all over. I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if we see a repeat of “we run this state”. Gurley and Marshall are the best backs Tech has seen all year and if we can run early I would expect that we will continue to pound them.

This week is what matters… same scenario as last week. Win or it is all for naught. There is the added incentive of it being the bugs… that can’t be under estimated.
But I still do not see where everybody is so afraid of Bama. Their defense is nearly as good as UF’s. UF plays the pass much better than Bama has. Are they a good team, yes. Do the Dawgs have no chance against. NO. They have as good a chance against Bama as they did against UF. A&M won not so much because they were better than Bama but because they didn’t buy into the “Saban will outcoach you” “Bama is a juggernaut” BS everybody in the SEC seems to swallow. LSU had Bama beaten until they played soft on that final drive. They screwed up 4 or 5 times and STILL had them whipped. The Dawgs need to view Bama as just another good SEC opponent not some invincible giant that requires an insane amount of luck to beat.

Mark Richt is the Head Coach at one of the “premier” schools in the nation. It’s his job to recruit well, and he has overall, it’s his job to get quality coaches, groom them to move on, and replace them with quality coaches, not so well here. Programs get stale without some turnover, some new ideas. It’s his job to make sure his team shows up fit and ready, mentally and physically, to play in the toughest conference in the country, that’s where he’s abysmally failed the last few years LHarding Dawg, and a few others. If you can’t see that, or won’t admit that, I could care less, nothing to do with hate.

WDE, I have made comments that our program shouldn’t get embarassed by anyone in the country, especially on a consistent basis, and I stand by that. We should consistently compete for championships, East, SEC, and National. Losing, we all lose games, even Bama, their fans were disappointed with a loss, but they realize it comes with the territory.

I haven’t given Mark Richt a pass for mismanaging the tremendous resources he has available to him. He’s heading in the right direction I believe, hopefully the problems we had before won’t repeat themselves. Mark Richt got comfortable and quit working hard, and it should have cost him his job, in this league you can’t rest on what you’ve accomplished.

There is no way Georgia can avoid getting screwed if they lose to Tech or Alabama. Alabama would go to the Championship game and no more than two SEC can make out the rest of the BCS schedule. With an SEC in the Championship game at least the SEC will have three teams in BCS games total but no more are allowed from any one Conference. If we beat Tech but lose to Alabama , Georgia will have two losses in the minds of the Bowl selection committee and Georgia will get the Capital One , Outback or maybe even the Chic-Fil-A Bowl. The lost to South Carolina made it certain that the only BCS Bowl game Georgia will end up with is the National Championship Game so all we have to do is beat Alabama.

To the uga fans that think Bama cant pass(84th), when the game is out of hand in the second quarter we quit throwing the ball the rest of the game. McCarron was in the top 5 in passing efficiency the whole year

Excellent Point Joey, but my counter points are the money, the staff, i.e. if he left most of the staff would probably be forced to leave, and the fire that burns in the heart of a competitor, although I’m not sure that drives Mark Richt. The staff might be the key concern he would have in leaving.

With Langley de-committing from South Carolina and committing to Georgia a few minutes ago this recruiting class is turning out to be what Georgia needed in order to have another great year in 2013. Richt will not retire anytime in the next 4 years. What Georgia needs to do is find a way to keep Grantham from leaving.

You can’t compare apples and oranges, meaning what one team does against another has little bearing on how two common opponents match up. Anyone that really thinks that Alabama will show up anything but prepared need only look back at the National Championship they won against LSU last year. You don’t mess with a wounded animal and come away unscathed very often.

Jville Dawg, I looked at that myself, but unfortunately all that means nothing. You only have to look at the UF, SC, and UGA games with each other to see that the common opponent thing tells us little.

Individual matchups will be the difference, OCs vs DCs, HC vs HCs, but especially the players. Look at how our Jones and SC’s Clowney can impact a game if their blocker can’t handle them. Almost win a game single-handedly.

Or wide-out X vs corner-back Y.

Matchups will tell the tale.

@BamaJoe: I feel sorry for you–because you have to live in Alabama.

We all understand why you Alabama folks fixate on all of those fictitious national title tallies (i.e. the Greengrocer Poll National Champion, the Playboy Centerfold National Champion, et al). Seriously, when you live in a state where the most cosmopolitan city is Birmingham, a state where running water is a relatively new innovation, where the Dreamland Barbeque is considered haute cuisine and where the closest thing to a professional sports team is the Auburn Football Team (at least the payroll is lower now that Cam is gone), what else is there to talk about?

So, have at it. Beat up on your little brother on the Plains this weekend, then hose off the pickup, grab your houndstooth hat and overalls, and head up to the Big City next weekend to see the Tide play the Dawgs. But you’d better strap your hats on. The Dawgs are not afraid of you–not one bit.

DawgNole – not the same guy – Thomas Brown is a UGA fan – have you read him lately? The UF game transformed him.

That other, Broun guy was no UGA fan.

Thanks for the info, Joey

“Put in Timeout . . . ” posted Chip’s comment on Shultz’s blog–but changed “Tomas Broun” to “Thomas Brown,” so I had my hopes up. What “Put in Timeout . . .” did in changing Chip’s post is a bannable offense to me, but Schultz is more liberal with his blog policies.

As for the “real” Thomas Brown, he remains a liar and an arrogant, condescending jerk–transformation or not. He predicted “four or five losses in 2012″ for the gators virtually all season long–despite my opinions to the contrary. Now, since they’ve lost to the Dawgs, he acts like he’s been impressed with them all along. He’s a weasel who copies and pastes posts out of context to support his lies. He should be banned from all blogs–and I remain hopeful that eventually he will be.

I guarantee you that nobody on the Bama staff is concerned about the SC/Ga game. The perception from that game far outweighed the reality.

This is getting good. Recent history tells us what we already know and Vegas knows. This will be a great game but Bama will pull it out. By the way, which is the only team of the SEC’s big 6 that has not won a BSC nat’l title? Or even a Bowl Coalition nat’l title. Its all about the Big Games: SEC title games, BSC nat’t title games. All UGA has to do is win one and this talk goes away….

Jamie, Richt was on the hot seat because he went 6-7. He wasn’t on the hot seat before, or after. Not with the folks that matter.

So if Richt was not on the hot seat before going 6-7 are you saying losing to FLA every year was acceptable? Granted, I am just a hick from Bama but when you dont beat your rival, you dont keep your job very long where I am from. Ask a few of our ex-coaches. They were nice guys too. Just a thought.
All great comments guys. I have to go back to work now. See you in the Dome in 2 weeks.

Nope , nobody said losing to Fl was “acceptable”. Didn’t say anything remotely close to that.

And don’t give us that BS, that Alabama fired a coach for losing to One specific rival too many times and for no other reasons, irrespective of any other circumstances.

UGA is a good team. Bama is a good team. UGA got smoked by USC. Carolina is a quality opponent, but it was beat by a large margin. Bama got smoked by A&M, but had a chance to win it at the end. (IE) did not quit when down by a large margin. Bama could have lost to LSU, but didn’t. You have to be competitive in big games to have a chance to win them. BAMA was 1-1 in those games. When is the last time UGA won a big game? Isn’t that why Richt was on the hot seat? Don’t give me the FLA game either.Florida is good but you should have beaten them. Same could be said for Bama against A&M. I hate to say it but FSU will expose Florida this weekend. In the end A&M and LSU will be ranked higher than Florida or South Carolina. Who would you rather play those 2 West teams or the 2 East teams? I rest my case. The WEST is still King till someone else proves it otherwise. Close game in the Dome: Bama 27-UGA 21.
____________________

For you to dismiss this year’s UGA-fla game as not a “big” one when fla was ranked No. 2 at the time–with Ws over SC and LSU–is laughable. You’d better awaken your case instead of resting it.

In any event, I do hope you’re right about FSU exposing the gators.

Your right on the “Cocktail Party” and FL being #2 at the time. I was wrong. They had also beaten A&M which looks great now. It will suck to beat those 3 teams and then end up losing to your 2 big rivals. It could happen with FSU in Tallahassee.

Sorry 4-8. 1 in a row. Some teams just have each others number.

Wrong again. It’s two in a row. Like I said, not sure where you’re getting your info.

On the other hand, fla definitely has UGA’s number over the past two-and-a-third decades. Hopefully the past two years represents a turnaround for the Dawgs.

Oh I absolutely think Georgia CAN beat Alabama. I’d even go as far as saying that since its somewhere around a 40% chance………I am going ahead and expecting them to do so. Why not. You know I reserve and distribute expectations very cautiously. In this case I see no reason not to.

Curry was at war with his boss over several items in his new contract. And that would be about as close of an example as you can come up with, but I hardly think that sets a pattern of “that’s how we do it where I’m from”. More like internal politics between some folks who are long gone.

And Shula 3 games over 500? really? .500 record? and got the program into probation. I would hardly think any Alabama fan would be braggin that the AU record is what got HIM fired.

More accurate to say that Alabama has parted ways with coaches who happen to have lost to a big rival among other things…..but not because of it. Same as every other school over time.

Jamie if your point is really that you agree with Georgia in “keeping” Richt then I guess I agree with you… The mistake most programs make is they assume they will find someone better. You went through dubose, price, franchione, and shula before you landed with Saban. UT went through Kiffin and Dooley and will be reeling for at least 2 more years… So, yes I agree with you that most programs make this mistake…

Jamie………….Bobo and Murray are 2-8 against top 25 teams until this year.
So Murray is going to more that double his win total against top 25 teams(with all 3 being top10 at the time) this year and 2 of those games will be back-to-back. Sorry i don’t see that happening. Murray and Bobo are 1-1 this year against top 25 teams and now Pad My Stats (against crappy teams)Murray is going to beat 2 top 5 teams?

I have to keep repeating that cause I don’t get where people see that happening.

It could happen but I wouldn’t TAKE IT TO THE BANK or BET THE HOUSE.

Let’s be realistic for a moment UGA fans.

1) Notre Dame will not be losing to USC. They are too good.

2)Will use Stats for this season that are up to date since it is the only facts to go by:

Alabama is ranked #2 in total defense, Notre Dame #6 and UGA #20.
Georgia is ranked #25 in total offense, Alabama #44 and Notre Dame #50

ND will beat USC

UGA should beat GT

ALA will beat AUB

ALA vs UGA = Too close to call. Depends on who shows up

ND vs UGA/ALA = Too close to call. Low scoring game. Will be fun to watch! No team will dominate, it will be back and forth with the defenses keeping offenses in check. 1 or 2 big plays will make the difference with a field goal winning the game.
