Mr. Moore, I think it is pathetic what many of the posters have to say in insulting you about your work. And yes, you are entitled to your opinion. That being said, it is unbelievable to me how much of a negative bias you have towards the University of Georgia, and in particular, our football program. As an intelligent sports writer, it should, I would think, be clear to you that, at this time in their respective careers, Tebow is much more consitently good than Matthew Stafford. Stafford may have a stronger arm, but he does not throw as accurately as Tebow, nor can he run with the speed and power Tebow displays weekly. This is not an excuse - it is a fact.

If you take away thos 15 wins by Florida over the past 17 years you will see how truly lopsided this rivalry is(approx 44-20-8). Dawg fans, let’s quit complaining and keep the game in Jax where it belongs and tradition should not be altered. Let’s get’m DAWGS!

shut up terrance. you were so right about mike vick it was ridiculous and thank you for being the sole african american voice of atlanta reason on that issue, but on this? come on. The Gators HAVE been better. theyve been better than everybody.

Sometimes I feel like your journalism isn’t accurate and balanced, but rather a pulpit from which you incite the masses. You don’t always have to take the most confrontational stance to get a point across. Have the Dogs “frozen” against the gators? Yes, in the past 5 or 6 years perhaps, but before that (Goff, Donnan) we were just not as good as they were.

I want to win this game, but again - Georgia is not as talented as Florida. Pat Dye you are not my good sir.

I’m now 33 and I think Georgia has lost more games in my life time to these guys than we have won. I believe we can win this game but it is time we man up. Who cares if it’s played in Jacksonville every year? Who cares if they have the week off, (can’t use that excuse if we lose Sat.) The fact is, we have a good quarterback, not a great one, but he is going to be. We have a stud at tailback, and potentially another one who may get his first minutes on Sat. The recievers all have potential, but we all know what that means. So it all comes down to the defense. It’s time to see what Willie has up his sleeve. I’m on the fence about Martinez; but if he wants to solidify his resume, this is a good game to start.

I believe, now make everyone a believer.

Before SC played us this year Steve Spurrier said ‘we have to start beating Georgia’.I don’t like him but when he said those words I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach….oh no not again.Thing is he had the balls to say it and the leadership to make it happen.If the coaching staff can’t overcome these near phobic reactions to UF it’ll never be a true power.Terrence is right, it’s not talent,we sign as much as UF,it could take one player with the right personality (Moreno ?) or maybe we’ll get a few breaks and fall backwards into a couple of wins that changes the psychology of it.

Great job TM, and I usually don’t say that about your articles. It was about time someone called out this team on why they get so scared of the Gators. Face it UF is in their heads and until Stafford plays a complete game they will always get beat by this squad. I want UGA to begin their own tradition of winning against Florida for once and not every seven years.

I’m sick of seeing UGA not being able to beat either UT or UF in the same year. It’s time for change! Until then they are elite wannabes

Yet another pathetic oversite article from Terrence. The Dawgs did turn the corner 3 years ago on this game. An injury to DJ Shockley the next year is NOT an excuse. ITS REALITY. The Dawgs nearly won with a totally inexperienced QB. No one outside of Gainsville with half a brain would say that Shock would not have made up a 4 point difference and then some. Last year, they played through Stafford’s inexperience to only fall by 7 to the eventual national champs.

BTW, the Dawgs were right in the National Title hunt in 2002. Whats the difference between a 2002 1-loss UGA team, 2003 1-loss LSU team, and a 2006 1-loss Gator team? UGA had the dumb luck of 2 unbeatens ahead of them that DIDNT PLAY EACH OTHER! Thats IT!!

So stop writing like the Dawgs are wanabes and start realizing what they have done in an extremely tough SEC!

Moore describes Florida this way “a team perpetually among the nation’s elite from the same division of your conference.” I agree with this description of Florida last year but since 2001 Florida’s record is 55-21 with 1 SEC Championship and 1 National Championship. In these 6 years Florida has been in the top 25 every year but has only been in the top 10 twice. Georgia’s record since 2001 is 61-17 with 2 SEC Championships. Also, in those same 6 years Georgia has been in the top 25 every year and 4 of those years in the top 10. I do agree that Georgia has not played Florida well in the past 15 years but who really has the elite program. Mr. Moore, does 1 year make a elite program? I don’t think so. By the way, I am proud of you not mentioning black or white.

However, we are starting to lose recruits to UF and the Vols because our inability to beat these teams consistently. We have to step up dogs and punch UF in the mouth. I am sick of this streak.

“If you take away those 15 wins by Florida over the past 17 years you will see how truly lopsided this rivalry is”! You cannot be serious. So, how about if we just “take away” those prior Dawgs wins…This is most ridiculous logic imaginable.

Just about as ridiculous as the program that celebrates its head coach’s “wins on the road in opposing team’s stadiums” but won’t add in his losing record in a neutral-site series where half the stadium is wearing Red & Black.

Ever notice how a national championship game is played at a “neutral site”? The quality programs have to be able to compete at one. (Maybe the rest of the SEC should complain that the ATL location for the championship is too close to Athens and therefore unfairly benefits the Dawgs.)

Go back to celebrating your big Vandy win.

I have no idea what to expect on Saturday, although, given the inability of the UGa defense to tackle, I thinks it’s reasonable to expect Percy Harvin, Cornelius Ingram, et al to have career days. The UGa defense seems to rely on the big hit rather than the form tackle. That said, maybe they should just concentrate on hitting Tebow. Hit him in the shoulder, chest, back, thigh, (but not the knee). Earhole him. Make sure he remembers playing the Dawgs even if the Gator’s receivers gain a million yards. Then, maybe next week, Vanderbilt can finish the job and break their losing streak to the Gators and Spurrier in the same season.

I’m sorry that T Brown and Lumpy got hurt, but if that is what it takes to prove what I have been saying then so be it. The Dogs need to have one featured back to lead the way. It is Moreno, let him set the tone and carry the rock, plus the team..

Moreno has the guts, the spirit, and the talent to be the star on Saturday. Set up the pass off his running, but let him be THE MAN and we have a chance. Stafford has had many chances to step up and he has proven that he is just not ready. He may never be ready. Moreno is just begging for the opportunity to lead this team, so let him. Maybe he will get Stafford and the others fired up when they see his effort. Yes, it is time to man-up and Knowshun is the only one on this team that I see who has a chance to get these guys fired up and use the God given talent that they have been blessed with. Tripp Chandler has it but he don’t know it yet. Moreno knows he has it and he will prove it on Saturday. If Willie doesn’t have the defense ready to shut Florida’s offense down (at least to less than 20 points), he should be fired, period. It is time to put up or shut up. Florida is as vulnerable as they are going to get and if we can’t get it done with the coordinators we have, then it is time to put someone else in place.

No more excuses, either get tough and play some guts football or lets stop all the talk about NCs and just be a mediocre team. This finesse junk is for the birds, its time to not just man up but lets Erk Russell-up.

I love Stafford’s quote to end the column: “I can’t remeber it all…”.

What a frickin’ pretender he is. I guesss he needs some “dope b***” to come over to his apartment and he and our starting tailback can “get busy”.

Anyone remember what Chris Leak did his last 2 years when he had an off-week? He was in Athens scouting us out and licking his chops to beat the Dawgs. Stafford? He’s worried about where his next “body shot” is coming from! What a joke…

First off,

Mr. Moore is a rascist. This is the first column I’ve read of his in months. I’m sorry I broke my self imposed ban. This is drivel that any first year journalism major could do. AJC- PLEASE fire this idiot. My grandfather had a saying that holds true even now. “You’re known by the company you keep” Because of his national attention becuase of the Barry Bonds and Vick situation, the AJC is known because of this man. It saddens me. It really does.

On to the game. I really think that UGA will win Saturday. Richt has a knack of getting his teams ready to win games that most people give them no shot in. LSU in ‘05, Aub, GT and VaTech last year. This is why Stafford came to UGA and I think that he’ll have his defining moment as a Dawg Saturday. With the young pup Moreno pounding it , Stafford will have a nice day Saturday. The D has to hit “superman” hard and often. Make him think about the hits and that battle is won. Let’s see the fire that those teams I mentioned showed in the wins. It’s time to make this a rivalry again. Go Dawgs!!

Mr. Moore,

The one problem I have with this article is the use of the word “Dogs” in the title. Perhaps you should have used “Dog Fans” because I have never once heard any player or coach make any excuses about the slide against Florida. Coach Richt is 1-5 against them. I feel like he should be 3-3, but that’s football, you don’t think Bobby Johnson doesn’t feel like he should be 2-0 against the dawgs the last 2 years? Some people are getting on Stafford for him not remembering what Richt was lecturing about with regards to the streak but to me that underscores the real point, these guys are young, 18-20 years old, the most pressure they have on them is looking good to the ladies, mama and daddy and espn. They couldn’t care less about some “streak” that is really only important to a bunch of whining fans that never suited up for a football game, not even in Pop Warner leagues. These guys are just trying to win a Game. All the psycho babble crap about the streak makes for good print I suppose no matter how much poppycock it truly is.

I’ve been a dawg since 1965 and watched this game very close every year. Never drove to Jacksonville thinking we had better talent and we didn’t. We just had better coaches in the Dooley/Russell years. Happy Feet Spurier couldn’t do it as a player but was able to win big as a coach at Fla. because UGA and the rest of the league had poor coaches including the pumkin in Tenn. I agree that we were lacking in talent when Richt came on board but I don,t agree we caught up talent wise until the last 3 years. Now that Fla. no longer has a week off before the game, things will turn soon. We have beaten ourselves the last 3 years. that will change also. Maybe not this year but soon.

I thought Georgia had a great recruiting class last year and the year before. How in the world did Tennessee wipe the flow with them, then lose so badly to Alabama.

Richt’s record against Florida may be 1-5, but last I checked he never set foot on the field to play. Georgia may in fact be the permanent rescue home for the most classic chokers of all time. They have suffered more dropped passes in the last 4 years than is imaginable….it’s like trying to watch Micheal J. Fox eat peas from a spoon, simply unbearable.

Dawg fans should be like Techies and be happy to have an average college football team, going to some mediocre bowl each year playing another mediocre team in front of a half-filled stadium of uninterested fans. The havoc wreaked by Jan Kemp years ago has permanently barred UGA from recruiting the really stupid superior athletes, most of whom go to UF, USC (Caifornia and the Evil Genius), AU, ND, etc., you get the picture. These dawgs are happy little yard pups, who go and hide under the bushes when a bigger, faster, better team comes to town. Everyone knows what happens to dogs chasing cars……they eventuall get run over. Well, watch out Dawgs and Dawg Fans, Florida is driving to Jacksonville this week. Just roll over and play dead, because that is what you will be after the “game”.

Right on Terrance…the one point I would disagree with is that UGA has been better since 2002. UF was clearly better last year and without question is better this year. UF found ways to win when they were down and so should UGA. The forumla for winning as an underdog is Heart + Desire + Preperation + GREAT COACHING = Victory.

The program has turned as “soft” as Richt. Reality sux, but so do the dawgs this year (and last). Two years of rebuilding? I thought we had recruting classes in the top 10 under Richt. Unless some heads roll after this year, we’ll be a perennial 9-3 team. You know how bad it’s getting when you’re actually celebrating after beating Vandy! What the heck happened?

My take on the UGA-Fla. game is that it’s one of those rivalries where the better team almost (maybe always) wins. There is rarely if ever an upset, and the margin of victory represents just about how much better the winning team actually is. Try to think of a year when there was a real surprise.

Great column. Right on point. IF the Bulldogs are EVER to become an elite football program, they HAVE to get it together against the Gators. To be an elite football program, the team MUST be in the hunt for a NC every so often. Any legitimate hunt for an NC by the Bulldogs runs through J’ville. Quite crying about locations. The game is NEVER going to a home and home basis. Too much political pressure to keep the game in J’ville. Afer watching the LSU-Auburn game last Sat. evening, I didn’t think the Bulldogs even had a player that could have played for either team. Upon 2d thought, don’t think that the players are that much less talented, but they have NOT been coached “UP.” If the Bulldogs are to make anything of this season, they need to win one against at LEAST 3 of the last 5 games. It’s time to man up. As George Allen used to say, “the future is NOW.” No excuses.

Terrance you are exactly right with the Bulldog nation. Loot at the two teams, Fl gets a priced recruit qb in tebow and he is a hiesman candidate his sophomore year GA gets a priced qb recruit and he is still learning not to throw off his back foot. Florida gets Urban Myer and he wins a national title second year GA gets MR and he has been in 3 sec championship games winning 2, but no national titles. Florida has a great game plan in big games, GA has the same game plan every game run get 2 yards, run get 1 yard and throw and get no yards. Florida fans have expectations to win Nation championships GA fans want to win 9 games and the Peach Bowl. I have been saying this for a long time, I think Mark Rict is a GREAT guy and good coach, but he will never win a nation title at GA. He has two bad coordinators who are better off as position coaches.As much as people say about MR being a calm presence, in college ball you have to fire your kids up and get them ready to play, that calm approach works in the pro, look at Dungy, but in college you have to get some passion and get fired up. I am ready for West Virginia’s coach to come here and lead us to a nation championship. Richt will leave for Florida State when Bowden steps down nin a couple years. By the way Florida will win Sat. by at least 14 because they are more aggressive and the dogs defense is horrible for whatever reason! final score Fl 28 dawgs 14.

My sentiments exactly, Terence. What disturbs me just as much as the excuses though is the whole “I don’t get it” attitude of the Dawg players. I can assure you the Florida players get it. Spurrier got it and he instilled it in the program. He still gets it, as a matter of fact. Until those that get on the field “get it”, forget it - edge to Florida; and level of talent will never matter.

Even if the Dawgs come to play and play their best game of the season, they won’t win. You’re two plays away from being 3-4 and you think you can “man-up” a win. Please; you ain’t all that and a bag of chips. You better hope you just get a 2-3 record out of your last 5 games because 1-4 is biting you on the heels. Ooops.

Dear Terence, I’m not a gator or a dawg fan, but watching both teams play on the idiot box, Florida is a far superior team then Georgia. Comming from Big-10 country either of theses teams could beat the no.1 ramked buckeyes. The SEC is so much more a stronger conference. Trouble is, how much longer are the bulldawgs going tu put up with a 8-3, 7-4 seasons with Coach Richt at the helm. Theses are not national championship record seasons and will never be close to them this way. Michigan will fire Coach Carr this year if they don’t beat the buckeyes on their home turf. Even though Coach Carr will be at final season with an 8-3 record but he can’t beat Ohio State. The year of 8-3, 7-4 aren’t going to set well soon for Georgia. Georgia needs to contend for conference and national championship. No excuses with all the talent on hand. Florida will win big again and Georgia will be fighting for just either an 8-3 season or 7-4 season.I feel sorry for uga. Thank you, a Buckeye haithful. P.S. To let you all no Ohio State is a long way from being no.1 football team in the country. The BCS is corrupt. Even though Ohio State and Jim Tressle are always at the top in the Big-10.

Coach Richt, it’s time to quit being passive against these guys. It seems Georgia plays not to lose instead of really getting aggressive when they play the Lizards. I hope they really get after them. If they bring the same game they brought against Bama and don’t turn the ball over, they can beat these guys. Auburn sure figured out how to get it done.

In the past few years, have we even played a good game but lost to Fla? For that matter do we ever play well but lose? NO! We look confused and lost and get embarassed! The last few Fla. games I remember we played about as bad and inconsistent as possible and came up short! Billy Bennet missed how many field goals?? 4? 5? We give up 14 quick points 2 years in a row? Fumble on the opening drive of the second half? Dropped passes, missed open receivers, do I need to keep going? If we don’t play like we did against Auburn last year we are going to get lit up against the Gators this year!! We only beat Fla. once when Zook was there and that was when we had Davis, Jones, Bailey, Gilbert, Pollack, Greene, Musa Smith, Brown.

The reason that GA has lost to FL so often since 1990 is that FL had a better progarm in the 90’s and has had the better coach in all but three years (02,03,04). Even against a bufoon like Zook, Richt dropped 2 of 3. The talent gap has been closed, but our program still lags behind FL where it matters, National Championships.

“Excuses and alibis..”? What are you talking about?! Writers like you are the only ones making excuses. We own up to it when we lose. Well, I do anyway. It’s typically you AJC ‘journalists’ that say stuff that’s not pertinant to the situation or create headlines that generally have no truth in fact. We are Dawg fans and hate it when they lose and celebrate when they win. Nothing more. We get excited when we have ‘top 10’ recruiting or when we’re ranked, etc etc. But ‘we’ don’t whine. It’s writers like you who seem to just create stuff out of nothing. Hopefully this year the Dawgs won’t get behind by 14 in the first 5-6 mins. If we can hold their scoring down and and if Stafford has a great game and if we play for 60 mins, we have a great chance to finally beat Flawda. They are a very good team but we have a chance. Go Dawgs!

I am a huge Dawg Fan and not embarrassed about it. As for the game this weekend, I’m sorry to say it will end in another loss. The Gators run that spread offense that UGA can never stop. Why? Because we play a base defense and never have the right players on the field to stop the run. Our corners play 12-15 yards of the receivers and we play our safeties 30 yards sown the field. The only chance UGA has to stop UF is to blitz on every down. I hope Martinez figured that out during the off week. The past 2 years Auburn blitzed over 75% of the time and they are 2-0 vs FL. Lastly, i hope they leave Brandon Miller at home. I hate critizing kids but if he is in there it will appear that he is playing for FL not UGA. Thats how bad he is!!

I don’t think it’s the blue and orange or the Gators that are in the player’s heads, as far as this series recently, but I do think it is the Spurrier Curse. His dominance of UGA in the 90’s created a lot of pressure, mainly from the media and fans, that has spilled over into the 2000’s. As we have all seen in the Richt era, UGA’s players seem to press in Jax, like they want to win TOO much. You seem players make very uncharacteristic mistakes. As if one play wins or loses the game. Moore talks about facts like Shockley or other players getting hurt while UF had bye weeks and refers to that as “excuses”. Those facts are not excuses. Just reasonalbe explainations for UGA not playing at their top level. I wonder what UF would have said if it had been Leak that got hurt instead of Shockley. Did they even have a back up QB then? UF played one of their best games against UGA in ‘04 and all we heard was that they lost because Zook got fired. UF looks really good this year on Offense. UGA has looked good on O and D in spurts but we haven’t put together a complete game since OSU. Hopefully we step up this weekend like we did vs Auburn last year. My dream for this game is that Knowshon and Caleb have games like Worley and Henderson in their FR year.

Having said that, UF is certainly better than UGA this year and injuries set aside, UF will try to make up in offense. MR knows very well and his intention is not to lose by more than 7 points.

I will agree with you on your article Terrence. It is time to win and quit making excuses. I think UGA and UF have simmilar talent this year, so it will be up to the playmakers and coaching staff to win the game. On D we need turnovers, on O we need the line to give Moreno some gaps to run through. The kid is explosive, but if he has a defender on him when the ball is snapped he has no room to run. That goes for Stafford as well, if the O line could give him some time he could come up big for us.

We need to go back to the old Hunker Down days on D and stop the run.

O, before I forget: I am proud of Terence for not bringing up racial issues in this article. That seems to be a big issue in his life. Mabey he should seek some help for it.

Roswell Ed,

Thanks for opening your mouth and showing how stupid you are. Since 2002, Georgia is the most elite team in the SEC … more than Florida, Auburn and LSU. Since that time at season’s end, Georgia has finished with an average ranking of No. 10. Of Auburn, LSU and Florida, Georgia is the only team to finish in the top 25 every year since then.

Giving a 26 ranking for those years each school didn’t finish in the top 25 (generous in some cases), LSU has an average ranking of 11, Auburn 13 and Florida 17. So, Dawg fans woof because over the past five years, nobody in the SEC has won more conference titles, played for more conference titles or finished higher in the final rankings.

Sure, UGA has struggled with Florida. But as I recall Texas struggled for along time against Oklahoma before emerging on top. The same will happen with the Dawgs. Unlike your beloved War Eagles, we don’t lose to teams like South Florida (overrated) and Mississippi State, the dregs of the SEC. And when Georgia wraps up a regular season undefeated and SEC champs, you can bet they won’t be left out of the party like Awwwburn.

cheers!

You can’t win a national championship without a little help from teams like UCLA. Ask Florida.

Richt is obviously a good but not great coach for lacking the foresight needed to win a national title. Fire the bum.

Personally I’ve never understand all the criticism of Terence. It’s called an editorial and writing a sports column is not the same as writing an objective article. So in my book it’s ok to be biased if in fact he is because everyone, even a sports columnist, has a right to their view. I happen to see his remarks today as being on the mark. It’s time to stop making excuses and and do whatever it takes … and I mean both effort and game plan … to win. I also agree with Maryland Dawg in that I’m sitting on the fence regarding Martinez and want to see if he can come up with a plan … and make adjustments to it on the fly if needed … to contain a less than healthy Tim Tebow. If he can’t … even with an extra week to prepare … I don’t think Georgia fans are going to be pleased. Yes I know we are banged up but so is Florida. This is our best opportunity in a while to beat the Gators and we do need to Bulldawg up and get it done! Go Dawgs! GATA!

Guys,

The tables seem to be turned from last years team, where defense ruled supreme for the Gators. Now, UGA must stop Tebow, Harvin, Caldwell, Ingram etc. Our defense will give up points, we’ve seen that just last week vs UK. If the Dawgs are going to beat UF, then you may have to ourscore us, which is going to be a pretty tough proposition especially if we get up by a couple TDs. Should be a entertaining game

Hi mcdawg. I respent your opinion. Yes, I agree that Van Gorder had awesome D-linemen. I was not talking about Martinez or the current GA defensive scheme. Unlike some people on this board, you obviously have a memory that stretches back more than a couple games, so I’m sure that you remember that Van Gorder coached the linebackers at the same as he was DC. I realize that Van Gorder got to work with a couple stars (Bailey and then Thurman), but does anybody think that Tony Gilbert had more raw talent then all of the post-Odell crop of linebackers? I believe that some coaching mistakes have been made. Probably by John Jancek. Of course, I don’t attend Bulldog practices, so I don’t see how much the LBs work with Jancek vs. Martinez.

I like that! “If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man!” As much as I hate to admit it … right now … Tebow is the man! And this weekend “the man” is hurting. So I’m curious to see what a healthy Stafford can do with a Florida defense that gives up points as compared to an ailing Tebow against a thus far mediocre Georgia defense. If the Dawgs have a plan and can execute this could be an exciting game. But as much as I want the Dawgs to win, I’ll not make any predictions.

You couldn’t be more dead on with what you have written in your editorial. UGA needs to either continue taking this annual beating and like it or get some pride and start pounding UF. I am sick of excuses. However, I am sure they already have a few made up for this year…young offensive line, injuries in the backfield, the sun got in their eyes, WHATEVER! UGA played like a donkey last year and almost won with a freshman QB, so why can’t they play up to their “potential” this year and beat these a#* clowns? Either step up or shut up. UGA fans have gotten more mileage out of 1 national championship and a Heisman trophy running back than Pam Anderson has gotten out of a…well, I’ll leave that one alone. Hey UGA fans, realize what you are, which is a mid-level program in the best conference in America. How can they beat Alabama in one game and get destroyed by UT in another? Just watch, they beat Auburn last year and will lose to them at home in a few weeks, and the man with the gruff voice will say “this is one of those rivalries where the visiting team usually wins in the other guys place”.

First of all, stop stealing my nickname as if you know something “The Truth.” Your post was asinine. Two rules have a take—and don’t let your take sucked. Your take sucked …

Fact: UGA has struggled (in a gross understatement) with Florida over the past 17 seasons. Fact: No team has been at the top of the SEC like UGA over the past five years. Read my previous post Fact: UGA is not a mid-tier team as some envious fans would like to intimate. UGA gets top-caliber talent because it’s a top-tier school. Fact: No team has dominated the SEC since 1999.

So, Dawg haters of the Florida, Auburn, LSU and Tennessee breed, get over yourselves. None of you have more SEC crowns that UGA since 2002 and it’s eating you alive!

I love the Dawgs but am a realist; this is the widest that the talent gap has been between us and Florida since the mid-90’s. I disagree that Richt’s 1st year was worse talent wise than this year. Our team has no one on defense that is making any impact or that will even be a 3rd team vote for all-SEC. We only have 2-3 players that Florida might “trade” for ours (Moreno is better than any of the running backs (except Tebow when he acts like one!)and Velasco is probably better than their center…Coutu is probably a better field goal kicker). Other than that name me one player that stands out on our team or that Florida would take over their player. Worse than this, the “up side” for them is much better than us based on the recruits we have so look for the gap to widen until we recruit some hard-nosed players who care about Georgia and hate our rivals like the fans do.

Bottom line,I say they are going to hang 45-52 points on us on Saturday and it will make a disgusting year for us worse than ever.

Also, the poster claiming ga. has 6 nat’l champ. is probably using the same method as those that claim the ‘42 champinoship belongs to ga. There are many retroactive systems and other obscure polls from those years but at that time (‘42) the AP was the recognized authority for the cf national championship. Just like the BCS today, you may not agree with it but they crown the cmampion.

Jacob - as I stated in my earlier post, my source is the College Football Data Warehouse. Ohio State is also listed as NC in 1942, so like many years it was split between 2 teams. Nonetheless, it is accurate for Georgia to claim 2 NCs in football, as Ohio State can claim 4.

If you want to be so short sited and look at more recent records, then Vandy, KY and SC own you. UGA gets top tiered talent based on whose assessment, Rivals, Scout, your mom? So what if they recruit 4 and 5 star players, you even admitted UGA has struggled with UF. Why is that? They might be 5 star in a 2 day camp, but when it comes gametime, they fizzle out like that Boones farm you drink on game day. Hell, even the Zooker has a winning record against you.

As for the other years there’s something fishy going on here … if you Google it you’ll find several places (including something called the New Georgia Encyclopedia and Wikipedia) that claim at least 5 NC seasons for Georgia in football but they all seem to be based on obscure polls that most of us have never heard of!

cheers!

ES,

I didn’t say those losses weren’t frustrating…. I just meant that at the end of the day, we (Dawg fans) have long thought that our team & program is much better than it actually is. Bottom line, even when UF has down years (e.g., Zook), they have still been just a flat out better team than we have been.
