You certainly stirred the pot with this one. How else is CMR going to get those thugs in athens motivated if not for dancing, penalties, and jersey changes? I guess at the UF game they will wear black, do a celebration after their first touchdown, and then have stafford do a keg stand. CMR is going to run out of ideas rather quickly, and the rednecks are going to grow restless.

I see they still haven’t fired you yet! I am amazed that AJC allwos you to write your crappy article and distorted opinions for them. Enough is Enough.. We have had enough of your crappy comment; I am sure when we get the win on saturday; you will find something bad to write about. you always do. Pls get a life and leave the BUllDAWG nation alone.

Enough with the negative articles. It’s tiresome. UGA has worn black jerseys three times. Oregon changes every part of their uniform each week. Nobody complains, but yet again Mr. Moore finds something wrong with the Bulldogs.

I would love to see some quality articles, rather than Mr. Moore trying to rile up the fan base of the state schools. No need for bylines in the AJC, the article headline is a dead giveaway.

Terrence, you are right that this can be over done. You are dead wrong that its border-line stale. If you come to Athens Saturday, you will see the electricity in the stadium and the awesome visual effect of a totally black Sanford Stadium at night. This will likely be the only one this year, and if the dawgs do one a year I think it will retain the desired effect. Way to keep working the contrarian angle simply to be contrarian, someone at the AJC must like it.

Right on. Maybe St. Mark hasn’t noticed, but Georgia is not unique - numerous other colleges are doing the color thing -most recently whiteout(Penn State) and blackout (Colorado). How about a breakout? Get some of those bums out of jail to play? Most of us folks keep thinking Ga is one step away from their version of Hawaii or BYU’s Hakka - some sort of morph between their love for taunting and dancing, color changing, over the top celebrating. Can’t Ga just play the game and be normal? Guess not, which is why they have enemies all around them and making more every day. Will never have respect!

Get real! It’s just fun to do and they can only do it during either night games or cold weather games. The players and the fans enjoy it. Most importatnly the players enjoy it. I’m sure that Mr. Moore has more than a few communist leanings and would like everything the same all the time for everyone but for the rest of us we want a little variety. And another thing. It actually shows respect to Bama. We think highly enough of them this year that we want our players to have a little extra bit of motivation for their arrival. I hope that regardelss of the outcome of this game or future gmaes that Black continues to be a alternate choice every season.

Forget the Black jerseys, ok. Forget it. Write about an interesting player on the UGA squad. Some interesting connection that a Bama player has to UGA or GA. Or Vice versa. But this!?!? Terry, tighten up!! Is this the best stuff that sphinxmen produce?

Folks, it ain’t the black jerseys, it’s the players wearin’ em. There is just too much Bulldog for the Tide to contain. This game should be close for a couple of quarters but then the overabundance of athletes for UGA will wear down the Tide. And to Mr Moore they will wear the black as often as the coaching staff allows it. The Irish we are not! Ga is one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the nation the Tide is maybe a top 20. 34 to 17 .

What the hell is wrong with you Terrence? So what if the the Dawgs have decided to throw a third color into their arsenal of jerseys? Hell look at Florida… Orange, blue, and white jerseys… orange, blue, and white pants, and last year orange and white “throwback” helmets… nobody gives them grief for that? LSU has done it in the past when they were forced to wear their purple jerseys with their “whiteout!” Even Tech has changed their uniform and at least don’t wear those hideous gold jerseys from the past few years… BTW are Tech’s colors not officially Old Gold and White? Where does the Navy Blue come from? Georgia’s official colors are Red and Black so what is the big deal with wearing jerseys of those colors? If we get excited about some variety its our business and not yours! Go back to South Bend!

Terrence, up until this point, I’ve taken your articles as “fair enough” the man is making a point, but now I’ve bought in to the fact that you’ve got something with Ga football, negative in your head.

You work for the AJC, which happens to be in Atlanta, GA , which happens to be 1 1/2 from Athens, which happens to be the home of alot of UGA alumns. Print media is having a hard time these days, you might need to “tighten up ” a little Terrence.

There’s nothing wrong with the “black out” idea, even if they loose to Alabama this weekend. It won’t have anything to do with a jersey!

As far as you going after M. Richt’s character on the endzone move last yr. against UF, in that same game UF hit Stafford with a cheap shot and got a pers. foul penalty, meanwhile Urban Myer is seen on youtube arguing is a* off about the call. The same guy allowed a guy back on the team after firing an AK47 off in a parking lot, Brandon James was cought peddling dope in G’ville, don’t know what happen there.

Go ahead and fire off a resume to the G’ville Sun since you don’t like writing about UGA for the AJC.

As much as I hate to admit it but I have to agree with you that using the ‘black-out” theme too often will cause it to lose it’s effectiveness. However, in light of Larry Munson’s sudden retirement, maybe the wearing of black for this game is appropriate.

Here’s another thought on Georgia’s “blackout” thing: If you’re going to do it, just do it.

Don’t announce it.

The surprise element would have more of a tendency to get your players going. It also would have more of tendency to get your fans going, even though they wouldn’t have the advance notice to wear black.

That said, if you use “blackouts” too much, there won’t be a surprise element — no matter what you do.

I agree with Terrance, and the back comments that have been posted are inappropriate and ignorant. UGA seems to need some type of motivation to get up for a game of this magnitude. I guess two teams ranked in the top ten is not enough. Let’s see how UGA plays against a team without a losing record. Bama wins by 10. So uch for being unbias.

This just happens to be the game the Senior players requested on the plane back from Tempe.

Good point though. I understand what you are saying and it is a valid point of it losing it’s luster a bit.

But make the trip to Athens on Saturday and when you get there and see it for your self…if you haven’t already.

The players want to wear the black. I am not crazy about it and don’t really think it is much of a factor at all. And yeah, if we continue to wear them this often we will lose eventually. But the players wanted it and our colors are red and BLACK.

Terence, what would be the point of a “Blackout” if you dont announce it? The reason that worked last year was because no one knew UGA had black jerseys. There were rumors but no one had ever seen them, heck most of the players didn’t even know. UGA will never be able to do that again. So obviously, from now on, whenever UGA does a blackout and asks fans to wear Black, then they will have the Black Jerseys people have now seen. Besides UGA may have done in 3 times in 9 games but so what? it isn’t like there were little games. The auburn game, Sugar Bowl, and now possibly the biggest game at Sanford in a very long time. It makes sense. You would make sense if you wrote this after UGA did this for this game, TN, FL, and GT. Then yes, it’d be too much. But honestly, it isnt now. How many more times you think they’ll do it this year? Once, possibly Florida, and maybe the bowl game.

Terence —

It’s been almost 9 months since the last ‘blackout’ — not exactly something most UGA fans or players remotely consider ‘overdone.’

In fact, this will be the first time EVER in black jerseys for many players on the 2008 team. For those players and many fans attending, it’s still in the category of ‘never done’ for them.

Besides, what’s the big deal? A jersey never made a single tackle, catch, touchdown, or penalty. If jersey color was the difference in winning and losing, you’d see coaches trying everything from azure to ultramarine.

The blackout would not be that bad is they were actually blackouts. They are not…they are just wearing black jerseys. For it to be a good blackout atleast wear black paints. This is to big of a deal. This is like when the braves wear their red jerseys and calling that a red out. It is not, and there is nothing special about it.

You also get your opponent rather peeved. That’s because you’re basically saying that you’re REALLY out to get that opponent.

Um, this is backwards thinking. Opponents should be flattered that another team is “REALLY out to get them”.

Now those games are on the verge of joining Notre Dame’s green jersey in the stale category.

Notre Dame being stale has nothing to do with jersey colors. Notre Dame is stale because they haven’t fielded a decent team in years, despite their massive recruiting advantage. Any coach at Notre Dame that wins fewer than 9 games in any season should be fired on principle.

Huh? There wasn’t supposed to be a “suprise” element to this thing was there? That’s why the head coach announced it in the press conference. He didn’t whisper it to the fans. All the fans dressed in black shows unity for the team. Terrance’s next great idea would be for our military to show up in casual gear. It is a jersey for pete’s sake, let it rest. It is not a gimmick, it is a jersey that represents a color of the school.

Let’s leave the coaching and motivational tactics to Coach Richt (he seems to have it under control) and Terrence can keep posting his biased, senseless opinions about UGA. I agree that we don’t want to over use the black jerseys but to compare us to Notre Dame is pretty insane. Furthermore (not Terrence Moore), if the players get hyped up and the fans pack the stands and the atmosphere even comes close to that Auburn game last year, oh and most importantly, we keep winning then I am going to keep wearing whatever Coach Richt tells me!

In case you didn’t know Terrance, every year Penn State, with one of the longest standing coaches and traditions in all of college football, does a “white out” game every year. They ask all fans to wear white and this year they are doing it against their biggest opponent so far this year Illinois this week. So if Richt turns this into a tradition where he asks the seniors to pick a game where they black out Sanford Stadium, is there something wrong with that? Is there something against creating an atmosphere and a legacy at Georgia? Do it too much and it becomes a gimick, but do it at the right time and it becomes the crux of a legacy.

UGA is one of those schools that needs to do this kind of stuff to get itself up for what should be, if they are truly an NC-caliber program, just another workmanlike victory over a conference opponent — at home. (A team that struggles to put away the Gamecocks while on an alleged national championship run apparently thinks everyone is mighty.)

Ever notice that UGA is also one of those schools that needs to pass out “helmet stickers” to players for individual motivation? Kinda like my son received stars on his papers while in kindergarten. Adorable pups…dog-bone helmet stickers and so much dress-up fun, too!

I thought what Mr. Aaron had to say about the Braves drafting Chipper Jones was interesting. Bobby Cox will be remembered as one of the greatest baseball managers of all time. That’s not to say he wouldn’t have pulled the trigger on Van Poppel had it not been for Hank Aaron.

Mr. Aaron is a gracious, honorable, dignified man. People who say otherwise have probably never met him or had dealings with him. He rarely criticizes people in public, even those would be easy to criticize. Therefore if Mr. Aaron is setting the record about Chipper Jones straight, he’s thought long and hard about it. People who say ought not do that weren’t there and don’t know how things went down.

Terence, the “blackout thing” as you call it HAS to have advance notice so that the fans know to wear black. Otherwise, if the fans are wearing red and the players are wearing black, is it really blackout?

I would hope that the blackout thing becomes as much a part of GA football as UGA, Larry Munson and Herschel. WHO CARES what Notre Dame or any other team does? This is about UGA and the Dawg Nation baby!

In addition, what other HOME game this season would you propose that Mark Richt choose to “blackout?” Tennessee? Vandy? Tech is the only one that I think he would even consider but that game is a LONG way off and “holding out” for Tech would be counting a LOT of chickens before they hatched.

A blackout vs Florida in the Cocktail Party wouldn’t have anywhere close to the same effect since the Dawgs only get half the tickets. This is THE GAME to blackout in 2008. No doubt about it! Go Dawgs!

true or not we should think about the implications of this. if anyone thinks that the black jersey really makes a difference raise your hand. our players want it and they get fired up for it. how many times do we have to change the color of our jersey to make an impact? our talent alone proves that we are superior. terrance..you are correct this time…

Its so funny how many people claim to hate T Moore but still read his column and respond with comments, exactly what he is paid to do. Stop commenting and reading then he will go away. It will be just like Gameday coming to campus. The very people (ESPN) you complain about everyday (No love for UGA, just Ohio State,Michigan! They didnt show Knowshon’s highlight! The deskperts cause us to drop in the polls!) will be there and you fans will be in the backdrop supporting their cause. Why not show some cohones and not have a crowd behind them, wouldnt that show them what you think of ESPN? But just like always, showboating and grasping for attention is what UGA is all about and you leghumpers will be all over Gamedays jock. Pathetic.

Hey you know what, the entire concept of attending a college football game is nothing more than having fun. It’s a sport Terrance. A game. A bunch of folk getting together to celebrate a game. Its NOT MEANT to be “effective” beyond the enjoyment of the players and fans. This is not some world cure for hunger or socio-economic dispairity. Lighten up francis. If we don’t win, would not be the first time that we all went to have fun, hoped to win, and did not. It would still have been fun, and it will be fun to wear black again some time.

It just befuddles me what’s not to “get” here. I understand the rivals don’t like it, because its not UGA falling off the face of the earth. The team choses to wear black jerseys and have the fans wear black in the stands. yea, so?

Marching bands, running on the fileds, even having fans in the stadium, you don’t NEED any of that. Why even have a mascot? Or team colors. Is therey any rules that says you must have some clever school logo anywhere on your uniform? UA puts numbers on thier helmets, Others put a big letters, some cartoon characters. Are we all freaking out? NONE of that is required. ALL of that could change and not make a bit of difference. They also could play a college football game and have not one person in the stadium besides the required personel, and then report the results, couldnt they. ITS ALL PAGENTRY.

A CRIMSON Helmet with White Numerals and White Strip down the center should be enough to get any team pumped. The 12 National Championships and 315 BEAR wins should add HYPE and drive to your team wanting to be what BAMA has been for a longtime. Black Jerseys were played out when you used them against Hawaii. Good luck and this will be a tuff game 9-10, 13-14, or 10-14 type of game.

this blackout thing is just another silly fad coming from a group of senior players who have no idea about purity and tradition. when players bring bad ideas like this to the coach, the coach should talk to them about the silliness of fads, tell them to just practice, prepare, and go out and play the game. black jerseys aren’t going to do anything for you. preparation and effort will be the deciding factors.

I agree that the blackout thing is trite and gimmicky. Doesn’t the University of Georgia have any tradition, or must it insist on some sort of attention-grabbing ploy? Once upon a time this was referred to as “no class.”
And what overpriced-ticket-paying fan allows the overpaid coach to tell him what clothes he must wear? Georgia’s nihilism reminds one of those mid-major football programs that think that playing on weekday nights adds prestige to their programs.

Terrence you once have succeeded at leaking your ignorance. Overall, the Blackout is fun for the fans and the team! Tons of college football teams around the nation have “alternate” jerseys, and they wear them 2,3, maybe even 4 times a year! Georgia shows to be pretty conservative and strategic with their approach, and intend to wear the jerseys once or twice a season. We are only a season and a half…check that, a season into the thing! Give it some time, you wont see these jerseys more than once or twice a season, I promise!

You’re proud of your opinion but we all know everyone has an opinion, don’t we? You need to work a little harder TM.

You must have issues. You’re still ticked off about the UGA celebration penalty in Jacksonville last year, aren’t you? Dude, let it go. Richt motivated his players and the fans and the team succeeded. Why does that bother you so much? Georgia’s success seems to really annoy you. What’s that all about?

Everyone knows the hype only gets you so far. Let the Dawgs and the fans wear whatever they want. The game is still the game. The Dawgs had to come back in the Auburn “blackout” after being down 20-17. And they did. They really did. That’s the point. Everything else is just a lot of listening to idiots like you yappin’.

Where are the comments from FSU wearing black jerseys or UF wearing all blue at times? How about those awful blue jerseys with the orange pattern around the shoulders and under the arms from a couple of years ago in Jacksonville?

I think the black out is good for a few reasons: 1. Gets the crowd even more pumped. 2. Gets the players pumped up (not that they need it). 3. Lastly and perhaps more importantly, it generates apparel sales.

AMEN terrance. It is good to have at least one level headed person amongst this idiotic dawg nation. The one thing that you said that could not be more true is how it p** off opponents. Well the UGA nation as a whole always has a way of p** of people througout the country off with their lack of sportsmanship, utter lack of class throughout the program, and continued display of the rudest most ignorant fans in the country.

AltamahaDawg’s right…lighten-up for God’s sake. It’s just a game, an important game, but still a game. If we don’t win then we’ll lay off the thing - sure I have my superstitions - it’s a shoot till you hit, then shoot till you miss thing, and so far we haven’t missed. And if the Alabama coach wants to ridicule us about it, that’s ok, all it means is that they’ll be wearing that all white stuff - unless they decide to wear red pants or something. Either way it’ll be a tough game, although after watching the replay of the Arkansas game, I’m not so sure Alabama is as dominant at the line of scrimmage as I first thought - and no way Georgia and Stafford are gonna give up 21 points on turnovers. I think we’re in for a goodun’.

If your NOT a Georgia fan, don’t worry what they wear; it doesn’t matter. If Richt wants to wear BLACK and the fans and team are excited, it works regardless of the outcome. If you’re an Alabama fan, be happy your not on probation and your team has FINALLY climbed back to the level you’ve desperately prayed for the last several years. For you as well, winning or losing doesn’t change that your team is back to playing at a level the students have never seen in their lifetime. As for the Florida opinions, you had a heisman quarterback and lost 4 games last year. One to Michigan which embarrassed the SEC, so don’t bow up too much on your early season success or you may be wearing egg on your face which isn’t much of a motivator.

At least UGA is doing the blackout because the players asked for it then it caught on & it electrifies the entire Dawg Nation…Unlike Oregon who does what it does with there unis because there guinea pigs as is for Nike…As a side benefit it does drive up merchandise revenue but wasn’t done just to sell more merchandise like a lot of the Pro teams have done…all of the local team have donned alternate jerseys but I don’t see that being commented on by TM!

“I still have a sneaking suspicion that Richt & the team may be up to something else. Not sure what it might be but dont be surprised if they have something up their sleeve other than black jerseys.”

The rumor is the players would like to do a “Total Blackout” meaning black helmets, jerseys & pants. Personally I don’t want to see it & don’t think coach Richt will go as far as black helmets but pants that’s a possibility.

That’s because you’re basically saying that you’re REALLY out to get that opponent.

Why would anybody think otherwise? Going into a big game like this, between two ver good, top ten, SEC teams, the guys from both teams should be thinking they are REALLY out to get each other. If one of these teams wasn’t anticipating the other to REALLY be out to get them, this probably wouldn’t be such a big game.

In response to our being copy cats here at Georgia…

Univeristy of Georgia charter-1785 Auburn? 1856 Don’t know when the fight songs were first used by which school, but there are MANY universities who use the Battle Hymn of the Republic. In addition, the “G” was patterned after the Green Bay Packers’ logo, but they have actually made changes on their own based on Georgia’s logo. Finally, in response to the Blackout, many schools ask fans to wear a specific color to a specific game. Penn State has White Outs, Michigan had a Maize Out last year…there are many. Perhaps you should do a little research before you start posting. Who cares what color a group of fans wear if it makes the players and those fans happy? Keep trying to degrade Georgia.

This is not what a great coach is made of. Did Bear Bryant resort to gimmicks? Rarely. A great coach can motivate without this. Richt has made this a real part of his motivation. He has overused gimmicks and it will backfire on him. This will prove he is just another average coach.

This way there is always speculation about which game it will be and it works as a motivational ploy, which is a good thing during a long season.

Do you ever write anything positive about a local team?

I stand with brother Moore on this one. Have two degrees from UGA and love my Dawgs, However as this blackout is the third incarnation I FEAR A JINX!! Hope I’m wrong, but I have had this unshakable sense of dread ever since the blackout was summoned. While I fear there will indeed be a blackout, my runes portend it will result not from our cloth choice, but from a powerful Crimson Hurricane.

It doesn’t matter what color UGA wears. They’re still gonna get their a* handed to them by Alabama.

It amazes me how many times posts on this site end up having strong racial overtones. I’m not one that is quick to pull the race card but it is truly amazing to see some of the things people say on here. People always say that racism is overexagerated but I see it so many times on these blogs. Sometimes I love Georgia, sometimes I hate it!

P.S. I am a strong Dawg fan and love the black jerseys but I too do not want the blackout thing to get old.

FAT DAWG & SIZZLE: Evidently you do not remember the last time UGA wore black britches. They played the Gators & the almighty GOLDBERG led them out on the field. All in the red with black pants. How did that go? Not too good. Florida beat UGA. Gee, what a shock!

Agreed. How about lining up and playing football like Alabama intends to do. Advantage: Alabama. Hey, for the Florida game Georgia could hand out clown noses for everyone!

I think the blackout thing can lose a little luster or mystique the more it is worn, but that is no reason to not do it. It’s not like the jerseys give the team superpowers anyway. Bama will be plenty inspired by a matchup on the road against the nation’s #3 team, and I don’t think the jersey is a make or break feature in the game. I get your point that the focus could be on the wrong things, but I don’t get the impression that UGA won’t be focused on the task at hand.

In reality, I say the black jersey is just a likeable color that fits in with the “Red and Black” colors of the school. Wear it as often as they like I say. I’d be open to a red jersey with black pants sometime too. That would be some intense coloring.

One thing I’ll say about ND wearing the green jerseys is that on a majority of those occasions, ND was a noticeable underdog and expected to lose anyway. It might have actually doomed them when they played BC during Willingham’s first year though: the team thought it was invincible. In each of UGA’s three “blackout” games, they have actually been expected to win, notwithstanding some contradicting predictions.

By the way, Knee Jerk, love your new puke yellow uniforms.
