Wow , everyone was calling for more emotion out of the coach, yet when he does it you critizize. You have no idea what you are talking about, when tebow does it he is superman, when meangelo does it you defend him, you are the hypocrite sir, Good job dawgs noone gave you a chance including mister terrance.

I expect nothing better from you, TM. Not enough emotion, too much emotion. Richt can’t please you, can he? I didn’t necessarily agree with the celebration after the first td, but, you can’t argue with the end result. UGA whipped UF. Why don’t you do us a favor and simply quit writing about UGA, period?

Georgia has come out flat every game. I think they could be undefeated now if they had not come out flat and let other teams get in front of them. If they had come out flat with Florida, the same would have happened. They sprinted and jumped out onto the field instead of walking arm in arm. You could see the excitement in the players from the moment the game began. Richt knew the players and crowd needed something to take this game to the next level. Meyer is a lowlife who calls a timeout after the other team is running their play- he does not play by the rules. He is not a gentleman SEC coach so he does not deserve to be treated like one! He got a dose of his own medicine and it worked!!! GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!

Terrance, you are the biggest damn fool of all. Of course the ajc, and it’s racist card leader, has to rain on our parde. Can’t you just wait till later in the week to ruin our buzz? The Auburn kicker did the chomp after they beat Fla, so what’s the big deal with Mo-mass doing it? The UGA football team has been w/o a pulse pretty much the season, and celebrating to get everyone into the emotion was a way to get life into our team. The program still has class, and I believe that UFag had a few personal fouls of their own. Go move to Gainesville and write for their paper you bum.

I couldn’t disagree with this column more. It was an excellent move to fire up the team and the crowd and create a change in the 17 year-old momentum in this series. Hopefully that action signals the moment when the Dawgs were no longer intimidated or psyched out heading into the Georgia-Florida game.

You talk like he had the team go out and take cheap shots on Tebow or knock folks around after the play. It was just a celebration, and the team took the 15 yard penalty that came with it. (The separate taunting penalty for Velasco is a separate issue.)

It is college football, they play for the fun and love of the game, they are not PAID. It is fine to see young men get excited and jubilant. They needed a spark, they needed for the coach to do something different, it worked. How long have you been around for this rivalry? Not near long enough, remember when they scored 50 between the hedges? If you can’t say something good then write about Tech! You FOOL.

Moore, I truly don’t think Coach Richt was disrespecting Coach Meyer. He was merely trying to light a fire in the team. The celebration was not at the expense of Florida but at the expense of the Georgia which they were prepared to take. You have to admit that it set the tone for Georgia and their intensity during the game. I believe it was a motivational boost and to challenge the team to rise to the occassion. Coach Richt is best at motivating these young for whom he cares a great deal.

Terrence, you’re an idiot. All we hear from the media is how UGA needs someone to build a fire under them, and how CMR is too laid back and unemotional during big games. Now, all of the sudden, UGA is a classless program for showing emotion during a big win? Sorry, boys, you can’t have it both ways. So what if our players do the Gator Chomp? They have been doing the same tauntingto us for years. The complaint department is usually closed whenever the UF fans and players taunt opposing teams and fans with that same Gator Chomp. Everyone enjoyed it whenever AU kicker did it, so why can’t we? Go on back up to Notre Dame,Terrence…oh, I forgot, the ND team can’t win sh1t this season. It was a big win, well deserved, and you media types are just pi$$ed off because you all are in love with Teblow, and have been kissing his a$$ since last year, and he fell flat on his face this week….which made you all look like horse sh!t for not giving UGA a chance at all. Fact is, nobody in the SEC is unbeatable in conference play this season…not even the Mighty Gators and their media darling, Teblow.

The Bulldogs victory is sweet but maybe just a little to much for this fan when considering the behavior. I can appreciate Coach Richt making every effort to fire up his team (it worked). Beating the Gators in Jacksonville is a rare accomplishment and the Dogs deserve credit for a great game plan. Does all the celebrating and penalties remind anybody of another Coach who is now in South Carolina ?

Terrance, I see your point, but have a very different take on CMR’s ‘dark side’ coming out. I don’t think our clean cut leader went that far over the top on this one. He just encouraged his guys to be looser and to have more fun. Les Miles down here in Baton Rouge has done much the same thing with great results. Getting Urban Meyer angry right off the bat played into our hands- we stayed loose while he stayed tense. Did you notice the difference in the way the coaches looked on the sidelines, the way they talked to their troops, their reactions to the refs, etc? CMR outwitted UM (I decided to omit the C on your blog). In other words, our guy psyched their guy. IMO, we have a long way to go before we turn into rude boys and thugs. But we took a strong step toward creatively engaging our masculine side, so I’m all up with the program. GIve it some thought.

Lighten up Terence and stop being so negative about everything. Georgia didn’t wait until the game was in hand to show an on field emotional display. It was in the 1st quarter and they still had to play an enitre football game. If you think about it, it took some big balls to pull that off. Richt knew UF would be fired up after that but he didn’t care. I’m sure if Notre Dame pulled that stunt and beat USC you would call it a stroke of genius.

Richt was far from desperate…..as CBS pointed out, no coach has beat him 3 straight times.

I read ajc.com for weeks where columnists and fans alike were pining for Van Gorder and the team that was ferocious to the tune of leading the SEC in penalties year after year, and now when we show it again— people are crying foul?

Was it overboard? Probably. The other penalties make it look worse? Maybe. But college football has become so sterilized, I enjoyed seeing a little bit of silly fun. What would sports be without the occasional silliness?

Kudos to Richt. Kudos to the Dawgs.

Mr. Moore, with all due respect, lighten up.

Terence, you call Coach Richt a hypocrit but you are the hypocrit in this matter. In your previous column, you said that the Dawgs were a “psychological mess at the sight of orange and blue” and that the Dog’s needed to stop making excuses for their inability to win against Florida. Well, just because you happen not to like the way Coach Richt went about exercising the “demons” you referred to, there was clearly a method to his madness and his plan worked.

The Dawgs not only didn’t back down against the Gators when the going got tough, they came back time and time again. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures and Caoch Richt apparently decided that this was the time.

You got one thing right, the Dawgs couldn’t care less about your disapproval of Coach Richt’s methods. Maybe Coach Petrino should try something similar to exercise all the demons surrounding the Falcons right now. Go Dawgs!

Whether Georgia players and coaches wish to admit it or not, visions of Gators always are rattling around their heads. It has turned them into a psychological mess at the sight of orange and blue. That said, Richt told reporters earlier this week that he doesn�t discuss that 15-out-of-17 thing with his players, but you just knew he had his fingers crossed while uttering those words. He even suggested as much later during a private moment.

Mr. Moore, I just have to ask you this one thing. Are you God?
I’m asking because in every single article that you’re written, you’re always criticizing someone like you are this perfect person that has never done anything wrong in your entire life.
You have managed to find something wrong with anything good that happens in sports. We’re tired of your articles where you come off like you are some kind of “Holier than Thou” movie critic that can find the bad in any kind of sporting event. You’re attitude reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit with the character of “Debbie Downer.” Debbie could always find some kind of way to ruin a feel good moment with a completely asinine comment or a fact that just sucked the life out of a party.
I sincerely hope that the Georgia fans aren’t going to read your little article and get down on a big win against the Florida Gators. Take your bad attitude and your half sadly written articles to another city where someone will actually care about them.

DAWGS 42, lizards 30 … ‘nuf said. Way to go, Dawgs! You just don’t get it, do you, Terrance? Dawgs finally get the monkey off their back and all you can write about is Coach Richt’s new motivational tactics? Coach Richt has proven himself over and over. He is, without any doubt, a man of class, conviction, and character. He wins consistently, and he does it with honor. Only 3 active coaches in America have a higher winning percentage than Coach Richt (Tressel, Carrol, and Meyer, I think - haven’t done the research to know for sure - don’t crucify me for it, please). Sure, I would rather my Dawgs have won the game without the drama and penalties, but you can be sure of one thing: if we had to have drama and penalties to get over the hump, then so be it. I’m just thrilled that we finally finished the drill, and I won’t apologize for it! Coach Richt and the Bulldog Nation do not owe you an explanation, Terrance Moore. Get over yourself. You sound like a petty, pious, self-absorbed, egotistical knucklehead. Dawgs won the game, Dawgs beat their bitter rival, Dawgs stopped the bleeding, and IT FEELS GREAT! Style points and penalties be damned. And yes, Terrance, no matter what you or the rest of the media tries to say, the Georgia-Florida game is still a rivalry. Always has been. Always will be.

Everyone of you who have posted on this blog are morons. If UGA would have lost, you would be saying it was a bad move. I am a UGA fan, season ticket holder since 1989 and found the celebration embarassing. Richt is a hypocrite for letting the players rush the field like that. It could have started a brawl and was totally uncalled for. We are Georgia, not Florida State!

Make up your mind Terence. Last week your column said it was time for UGA to put up or shut up. They finally win and your still complaining. Who cares about some stupid celebration penalty in the grand scheme of the game? I don’t understand why you feel the need to criticize instead of complementing the merits of the game. I suspect it’s only to “stir the pot” to sell papers and elicit a response from the Dawg Nation. Well…mission accomplished.

Desperate? I have to smile at that definition, since it so well captured the ambience of Urban Meyer’s coaching this afternoon.

What a wonderful turnaround Mark Richt affected when given the luxury of an off week instead of having to overcome the Gators’ annual benefit of yet another two week prep for UGA.

Guess what…football is an emotional sport. Georgia has been devoid of emotion all year and this game was a long time coming. You guys have criticized Coach Richt week after week because he is not emotional enough. Then when he turns up the heat, you are embarrassed. There is a ton of difference between celebrating a touchdown and dancing on the visitor’s emblem after a win. I seem to remember Auburn’s kicker mocking the gator chomp after kicking the winning field goal and he was praised. The other penalties that you talk about were bull crap calls that could happen anytime. The bottom line is that we need to get happy, we needed to play with emotion , we needed to make a statement. Mark this win as a turning point for UGA for the rest of the year and the future.

Hey…It didn’t seem to mind UGA President Michael Adams as he gave Coach Richt a hug after the game.

Terrence,

What a worthless column. This team needed a fire lit under them, and CMR did just that. It wasn’t unclassy for the team to celebrate in that fashion or for CMR to encourage them to do so - this is very different than the Vandy incident two weeks ago. Velasco crossed the line, and was called out for that.

The Dawgs let the Gators know they had come to play today: they were fired up, and ready to go. This kind of enthusiasm and energy from the team would’ve been mighty helpful in Knoxville or at home against the HBC.

I just hope this is the same team that shows up against Troy, Auburn, UK and the bugs

Why don’t you go write about a team you like instead of trashing the Dawgs and the coaching staff week after week?

It’s great to be a Gator Hater tonight ya’ll!!!

Terrance, this is the kind of analysis that makes me think you’re a fool…. Ridiculous comments in your column. Mark Richt did not tell his team to go stomp on Florida’s logo. He told his team to celbrate a touchdown with each other. In my opinion, This is exactly the kind of shakeup in mindset the dogs needed. Quit being so businesslike.. and Richt shoudl be praised for trying a new approach to get their heads in a different space. If he had told them to do it at the end of the game, I would agree with you… but this in no way affects Richt’s level of class as a coach. What do you have against Georgia anyway? Way to keep putting the home team down any chance you get. You should go to work for the Gainesville, FL paper.

I am shocked so many people are defending what UGA did. If this would have backfired and Fla won by 30 you same people would be calling for Richt’s head. More importantly ask yourselves this. If Miami or FSU in the 90’s would have done this what would you think? Thugs? Classless? Disgrace? Is it the end of the world? Of course not but it was very disappointing and I think UGA fans are being hypocritical. Aren’t you guys the same ones that hate Spurrier for such things?

I want to know where all the loud mouth gator fans are now? They chomped too hard, I guess and don’t have anything to say.

As for the celebration, I don’t think it was any more classless than Florida’s usual behavior. No more so than Urban Meyer’s time out that made the Auburn kicker make the field goal twice. It was no more classless than when Harvin spiked the ball after a big play or than that kid diving into the end zone after the interception. Florida has always been classless in the years they’ve beat Georgia. Their players are posterboys for unsportsman like conduct!

Two points: 1. THE leader on this team is Moreno. Has been since his first time on the field. 2. Coaches routinely intentionally draw a dead ball penalty, specifically to create an advantage. For example, delaying the snap on a punt to back up a bit and have more chance at pinning an opponent near their own goal line, no one complains. Florida did it in this game. I did not think it showed Meyer as lacking class. Richt intentionally drew a dead ball penalty, no one got hurt (compare that with Florida guy nailing the kneeling Stafford). So UGA drew a penalty, made a statement, and got an advantage. So what.

TM,dogs did what they needed to do;shake things up. This team has slept through most of it’s games this year. The problem I had with all the personal fouls was the field position we gave the reptiles. Had they not started with great field position, we may have won this game going away. I hope CMR has awakened a “sleeping giant”. Moreno is a special talent we have not seen since Garrison Hearst. Stafford looked comfortable having to only manage the game and not having to press himself. Hope dogs take care of business next week. Troy is the kind of game where we come out like zombies and end up in a fight for our lives. TM, if you feel like wacking a team/coach in your column-how about your beloved golden domers. UGA would be so lucky to “scrimmage” such a pathetic excuse for a footnall team.

I can’t believe you criticize Coach Richt for kissing his wife! Why is it poor sportsmanship when the opposing team does the gator chomp but not when the gators do it? During the play where two UGA players were called for face mask penalties, they were not flagrant; however, the Fla. kick returner grabbed the face mask of one of the UGA defenders on the same play, and that wasn’t called. UGA does exhibit discipline, poise, and class, unlike you. I am proud of the team and the coaches!

TM,

Did the Dawgs cheat? Was their excessive celebration intended to belittle UF or to lift up their team’s spirit? Did the 2 personal foul facemasks really appear to represent a win at all costs mentality or just players trying to make a play? What about UF personal foul penalties? Were they foolish?

If Richt had really taken a page out of the FSU game plan on beating UF, it would involve cheap personal foul penalties intended to harm, like the multiple roughing the passer calls and late hit penalties from FSU’s ‘96 regular season win. If Richt really were classless, he would have suggested that the Dawgs hit an injured Tebow as much as they could, regardless of whether the whistle had blown or not. Instead, the Dawgs played with intensity and excitement, that sometimes carried over into excessive celebration. I don’t think one UF player would agree with you that UGA acted foolish winning the way they did. They won with spirit and intensity, no matter what you want to call it.

BTW, your article reads like a fifth grader wrote it.

You know, I actually have conflicted feelings about the TD celebration. Yeah, it did look a bit classless. But we’ve been needing something like this. Everyone, including myself, including YOU Terrence, has been saying so much how this team needs to show some emotion.

Florida has owned this series for the last 20 years, and we had to dig deep to find the right kind emotion that would work. I guess you could say we dug REAL deep and let loose all of that pent up aggression from losing all those years.

Now I’m hoping all that emotion and momentum carries over for remainder of the season. We just need to remember how this season has gone for everyone in the top 25 (and hope Tennessee forgets).

I remember when Tech’s players stomped on the G at Sanford Stadium. I was embarrassed as a Tech fan. Also thought Coach Richt was right to be irritated with his players for jumping on Vandy’s V. But the celebration by Georgia’s kids after their first TD today was just that. There was clearly no intent to taunt the opposition. I don’t think Richt has compromised his well-deserved reputation for good coaching manners. In fact, more than any other active coach, Richt’s demeanor on the field reminds me of the late great Bobby Dodd. Now that is high praise.

I think you’re getting paid to write something stupid to get a rise out of people. Matter of fact I hav’nt figured out why they are paying you because your columns are crap. You are pathetic.

IDIOT!, IDIOT!, STUPID IDIOT!!! This is without a doubt the worst article you have ever written. This was a highly motivated bunch of players that got the job done. Put on your spacesuit and go away with the little green men, for you are definitely disconnected from earth today!

I really don’t think Richt was doing it to show Fla. up. I think he knew we haven’t played well against this team in the past 17 yrs. He just wanted more emotion out of his team. Why is it that no matter what UGA does people knock them. It’s good to have good sportsmanship, but can’t you understand the frustration that was being released in this demolition? Go Dawgs!

And I wonder why I canceled my AJC subscription. The Irony of this article is the hypocrisy within it. “The overrated rivalry?” write a separate column about that otherwise its just flame bait. You could have blogged about this but instead you wrote an article thats going to be printed. This is called lowbrow Jounalism when your writing for a hometown paper.

Terrence,

You just don’t get it do you, go back to criticizing those sh!t!y Atl teams. We just beat the Gay-turds.

What we have here is a double standard. Richt is not hypocritical. His team celebrating a touchdown that way is no different a penalty than the one number 4 of Florida got for diving into the endzone. Florida has a history of taunting opponents…Georgia was just celebrating as a team. Tebow skips off the field after every touchdown waving his arms in the air. Celebrations are not supposed to draw attention to any one player or it is a penalty…yet Tebow is never called. What we have here is a BIG double standard.

What a lack of class this football team is. First Georgia stomps on Vandy’s Logo and next the entire team runs on the field after a touchdown. I guess the field goal posts will come down after a victory against Troy. Wake up from the dream! Georgia is not celebrating a National Championship. Another loss should knock this football team back to reality.

Is there anyway that we can put pressure on AJC to get rid of this guy? He is a disgrace to sports journalism. I understand not being a “homer”, but he takes that way to far. Not to mention the fact that his racial agenda is so transparent, that if Mark Bradley, or Furman Bisher wrote similarly, they would assuredly be labeled racist. It will be a cold day in hell when anyone can compare the level of class displayed between UGA and UF favoring UF, and have a leg to stand on. Mr. Moore you are as low of class an individual as it gets.

I can understand questioning Richt’s decision, as it was a highly unorthodox move. But, I cannot figure out why you decided to add to your pile of evidence that the dawgs played without class by including those two face mask penalties on that kickoff. I don’t know what game you were watching but those calls completely BOGUS! The first one was a 5-yarder at BEST, and the second one should’ve gone against UF. In any case, they in NO WAY indicated that the Dawgs played dirty or without class. You were simply looking for a way to make your case look stronger. Personally, I didn’t like Richt’s move. Not because it was a classless move or anything like that. No, it was because I felt like it was going to wake up a team in UF that looked a little sleepy at the start of the game. Had the Gators fed off that and beat us 51-7, Richt and the Dawgs would’ve looked REALLY STUPID. In the end, all is well and the Dawgs won. Man, it feels good to beat the Gators! Go DAWGS!!

It is amazing the split in the media about the character of Richt’s call. Herbstreit calls it couragous Flutty calls it unsportsman like. Its good to know there are some people who realize this is just a game meant for people to have fun. Why can’t you write about something a little deeper terrance like gamesmanship or sports psychology on the field then critique it. Like I said earlier its just flame bait to get losers like myself to post. The number of people posting makes you feel relevant doesn’t it, but face it; its the team not the writer that are getting people to read this article.
