Terrance, your so wrong on this topic! How about we “vote” teams into playing for the World Series, or the SuperBowl?? The system makes no sence and until a change is made college football is about as relevant as the WNBA! WHat’s the point when u can not loose a game all season and STILL have NO shot at a title?? Whos to say Boise State last year wouldnt of beaten Florida just like they beat OU?? If all the schedules were even, you might have a valid argument. But common man, you cant tell me Ohio State would of finished 10-1 with Georgias schedule in the SEC!! Lsu will destroy Ohio State, and once again for the 13th or so time in like 15 years, there will be no true champion!
COllege Football is a JOKE! And GT fans, like me, this isnt about the bulldogs not getting in, this is about the most retarted system ever developed in the history of sports! No one cant tell me that GT wouldnt of competed for a nation championship in a 16 game playoff system when they have Joe Hamilton, just like no one can tell me UGA wasnt the best team the year they had Quincy Carter! Face it Terrance, sometimes the best teams DO LOOSE!
So tell me….who would you “vote” to go to the superbowl?

On to a real sport…college basketball!! Go GT!!

Get real Terence. Don’t imagine that strength of schedule has any baearing on the satanic bcs arbiters. After all, the only top 25 team Ohio State played this year is… Wisconsin! Doh!

Let’s recognize that this decision was shepherded by elitist Northeastern media moguls sending the message down from their Manhattan ivory towers that these were the Chosen Teams.

You rarely make sense in your columns which are generally focused on racial issues, but this time you are right on, Terence, in your remarks about the BCS.

These bloggers are wrong when they call you an idiot. You are just a harmless racist who has made a good living for himself by taking contrarian views. No one really expects you to know much about the subjects you write about, but just whether black athletes or coaches have been treated properly.

Talk about ‘whining’…that’s all you’ve done in your column since the bowls were announced. Do your job and write an opinion with facts to back it up, not ‘skewed facts’ to down UGA. I’ve not heard one person associated with UGA complain about the Sugar Bowl. At least Mark Richt and the Dawgs have some class, unlike your column which is just a ‘bash-fest’ aimed at a good football program. What’s your problem anyway??

I like your points - I don’t really see the need for a National Champion, and all the whining about a playoff sounds more like middle school boys trying to pad their small ego’s. I think we should get rid of the BCS and just go back to a series of bowl games and let the newspapers who have nothing better to do with their time pick the ‘champions’.

So - here is the problem.

The BCS is what it is. The season was crazy this year with 6 top two teams losing to unranked teams. The voters were especially fickle this year as well. By losing to an unranked team you could plummet 6 spots down one week and rebound up four the next.

But the part that was unfair, was the media created perception that UGA had a chance. As one of the many 10-2 teams we could all secretly harbor hope, but the way the BSC show was arranged and the coach was on the line with ESPN all weekend created this excitement and hope that was borderline delusional. When Pitt and Oklahoma won my heart did flip flops for the fact that we were even a consideration. Saturday night was as exciting as Christmas used be when I was young…

The reality of the situation was of course when UK lost to UT we all knew that we were sUGAr bound (w/ half a hope for the Rose Bowl). There was no way that UT could beat LSU (which was painfully clear) and the only thing that happened between the tech game and the SEC Championship was the media’s desire to increase ratings and create intrigue at our expense.

So of course we can be upset and disappointed. And of course we review the what-ifs and if-onlys. How else will we learn?

But what is most important is that we are happy with our sUGAr bowl bid and proud of my Dawgs for not giving up on the season.

Maybe we will get to play the Buckeyes for the title next year and they can feel the wrath of the SEC three years in a row.

Man! I can’t stand this guy!!!

Terence, so what you are saying is that the BCS did us a favor by disallowing us to prove we are the best???

Yeah, okay, it’s better for the Dawgs if we can simply claim to have been the best, just slighted, as opposed to proving it.

What an idiot!

AND……… If you are saying that they did us a favor by disallowing us the “ticket” to the big game because they would’ve beaten us, to quote you:

“We’ll never know. The same goes for 1969, when Richard Nixon declared Texas as national champions after watching the Longhorns win that particular Game of the Century over Arkansas during the regular season. While Texas finished undefeated with a bowl victory, so did Penn State, which still claims it was the best.”

The 1990 National Championship doesn’t quite fit into this equation Mr. Moore. Tech won 11 games that year and tied one. Colorado a) Tied the Vols b) beat Missouri with a TD on a “5th” down, c)LOST to Illinois & d) needed a mysterious “clipping” call against ND to take (receive - not win) the Orange Bowl. Fortunately for us (GT) there was a Media (AP) & Coaches (UPI) poll back then. I think its safe to say that “Coaches know best!” We fought tooth & nail from being unranked to being #1. We also won the ACC back then. How any self-respecting fan or player can cry about not making it to the National Championship by “default” is beyond me. Then again, we are talking about UGA folks aren’t we.

UGA did not get to the championship because the fell early secondary to immaturity. theyt grew up and played lights out. They are playing better than LSU!

A couple of years back when ga played LSU everyone was saying LSU would when and GA blew them out. I am so disappointed that the polls have become a popularity contest. Come on Hawii VS the Dawgs ?

By Rusty

Terence Moore. I am sorry, but I totally disagree with you on this column. I enjoy reading some of your stuff, and at times, you are right on it. But, how can you accuse Georgia fans of being subjective and having ‘illogical’ ideas about whether the Bulldogs are better than LSU, when you yourself have no more proof that LSU is better. Just because you say “LSU is better than Georgia” does not make you right. There are many college football fans who know a lot about football who have as much a right to an educated opinion as you do. They just don’t get paid to express it.

As far as the BCS is concerned, I do not think LSU deserves the chance to play for the National Championship. They lost a home game on the last day of the season to an unranked opponent. So did West Virginia. You don’t see many saying the Mountaineers deserve a shot. I think Georgia is one of the better teams in the country right now. But, Oklahoma deserves a shot to play moreso than LSU. They beat the supposed number one team in the country TWICE - and the games weren’t that close.

I suppose a playoff is never going to happen, and if it does, it will have flaws too. We live in a flawed world! But, just for fun, I’d like to suggest what one might look like:

1. Organize all Division 1 teams into 8 ‘super conferences’. (Like the ACC, Big-12 and SEC..with 2 divisions and a championship game.)

2. Shorten the regular season back to 11 games, with the 12th week designated as Championship weekend, (first weekend in December) where the 8 conference champions will be determined.

3. Teams would be required to play each of the teams in their division plus 2 from the other division. The formula for choosing teams from other divisions could be like the old NFL schedule, and be based on the previous years’ standings. This would keep it somewhat fair. Teams would still then have 2 or 3 games left in which to schedule rivalry games and games against other opponents.

4. After the 8 champions are crowned, have a committee (like the NCAA Tournament) to review and seed each of the teams 1 through 8 based on their records, abilities, etc.

5. First round games to be played in the stadium of the higher seeded team. (second weekend of December)

6. Semi final games would be played in bowl venues (Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange). There would be two games per year in this round, and then the championship round. Three of the 4 major bowl games would be a part of the playoff system each year, with one rotating out. (This would keep the bowl traditions as a part of College Football.) These games would be played on the weekend following New Years Day.

7. Championship game to be played during the second week of January, preferably on a week night, so as not to interfere with NFL playoffs. (That is the case now, anyway).

8. The rest of the bowls could still continue to function and paly their games in the 2 week off period between the first round and the semifinals. The existing BCS bowl that is rotated out of the mix for that year could take place and be considered the “BIG” consolation prize for its 2 teams. This way, all of the bowls still get to have their games, make their money, etc.

9. We have a champion, settled on the field, in basically the same time structure as we are under now in college football.

Organizing the super conferences would be a huge undertaking, but we already have the framework in place. The ACC, SEC and Big-12 would remain virtually unchanged, perhaps adding a team or two to each division. The Big Ten would have to have a couple teams added, the Big East would have to have similar, as would the Pac-10. Then the Mountain West and WAC could round out the teams. I figure each conference would need around 14 teams.

Call me crazy, but I think this would work!!!

Terence, you make it very difficult to respond to this rant, because you’re comments, arguments and logic is all over the map.

Let me break it down in a way your Ohio born brain can comprehend. Yes, the Sugar Bowl is normally great for a football programs exposure. HOWEVER, this isn’t a normal year and hardly an optimum situation. You’ve failed to grasp once again that UGA is playing a team (Hawaii) that brings ZERO up-side. Georgia is expected to win and win big. If we win by double digits everyone in America will perceive it as “no shocker it’s just Hawaii”. If UGA wins by 3 points or less, everyone in America will say “Oh UGA was only a pretender to the National Championship and overrated.” If by the hand of some Machiavellian fate UGA was to lose, then the Dawgs become the laughing stock of America and SEC clowns.

Is our idignation becoming a little more clear to you now, Terence?

People criticize Terence Moore because of his views. It is certainly true that he is nearly always completely incorrect, whether he writing his own name or trying to button his vest.

However, I come to you today to proclaim that even if I loved his sporting opinions, he would still be the most horrendously stinking writer in this language since my dog ate and failed to digest a crayon. Terence Moore carves out prose in a way that can only be compared to Charlie Manson on the loose in Sharon Tate’s home.

I submit for your approval these samples from his current essay, unhappily found in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This is, of course, his second attempt in as many days to taunt the Georgia fans for being left out of the BCS championship game. I challenge anyone to clearly understand this sentence upon first reading:

“So all of this wringing of hands right now around Southern Cal, Oklahoma and definitely between the hedges over the BCS placing Ohio State and LSU in the national championship game is substantiating a non-playoff system that always has been more heavenly than satanic.”

No writer who ever worked for me would ever submit such a tortured sentence and receive a second chance. Yet this scribe has worked for two decades or thereabouts in his present position. Are there no copy editors at the AJC? “More heavenly than satanic” is just horrendous composition. He is constantly using extreme, exaggerated terminology as a substitute for style.

And from the “What-the-hell ????” department?

“Just like those same Penn State folks could claim that, if Nixon were a dog instead of a human, he could have been a mascot instead of a president.”

If you understand anything about that sentence, we need to get you into detox. It may be reminiscent of the poetry of Ezra Pound, but you’re not supposed to achieve that accidentally.

Now for the taunting highlights. Terence, as most of us know, has been taunting the UGA football program and its fans ever since Coach Richt disappointed him by letting his players…um, taunt. Terence writes:

“Here’s why Georgia folks should kiss the hand of the BCS instead of spitting on it: Nobody ever can prove that Georgia isn’t better than LSU, which the Bulldogs aren’t.”

This the best ya got, Terry? A flat, talk-radio-style statement that goes undefended, and which fails to insult because every football pundit knows it is wrong? It’s pretty well established that we wouldn’t have lost to Arkansas a week ago. At least to those of us who can keep from getting Penn State, Richard Nixon, and dogs all tangled up in the same string of rhetoric.

More Terencian verbal flatulence:

“That’s why Georgia folks can feel good about themselves. They can whine forever over their perception of getting robbed of a national championship by the know-nothings involved with the BCS system.”

His alleged point in all this savage disembowelment of the English language: BCS controversy and confusion are GOOD things for everyone. The fact that Colorado and GT split the 1990 championship is a GOOD thing, in his addled mind, because it made both campuses happy, happy, happy!

This guy earns a salary. Sign me up. I should be good to go as, say, a brain surgeon.

Will from Hawaii, Your dreaming if you think Hawaii will have a prayer of beating this Hot Georgia team. Hawaii’s strength of Schedule is rated 117 out of 119 teams in the NCAA this year. Hawaii has played 2 (count them 2)teams with winning records this year. No wonder their 12-0. 4 of the 12 teams that Hawaii beat this year have a combined record of 6-42. Look it up, they played the easiest schedule of any team in the top 116 in the nation. Doesnt that make Hawaii ashamed to get a BCS bid? It is wrong that Georgia has to play them cause they will get no respect for blowing out a team like this on Jan. 1.

For the love of English, stop Terence before he writes again!

Here’s what happened to Terence Moore that explains all.

One night a couple of decades ago while traveling to visit Granny for the Holiday’s it was getting late and the interstate became an asphalt haze. Terence having saved up for several years to make the trip decided to exit at the nearest town and find a place to stay for the night. He checked into a Holiday Inn Express for a well deserved slumberfest. The next morning, feeling refreshed he looked into the mirror and like a bolt of lightening it came to him… “I’m going to be a journalist today.” After a plate of ham and eggs Terence continued his journey to Granny’s and while traveling along the highway a revelation came upon him, “Oh Lord how am I going to practice journalism when the highest grade I’ve ever achieved in English composition was a D+?” That question posed no problem for Mr. Moore, he simply stated, “I just spent the night at a Holiday Day Inn Express!”

He’s a self important, self promoting, race bater. I’m a Georgia fan and I don’t believe Georgia deserves to be in the title game. They had a chance to take care of business by beating a crappy South Carolina team or a Philip Fulmer coached Tennessee team. If they had done that, there would be no debate and Georgia would be playing for it all. And yet still, this article is ridiculous and just meant to p** people off. If we all ignore this guy, maybe he’ll go away. But this is the AJC, so probably not.

Hey Moore-on, You’re the reason I won’t spend a penny on the AJC. I canceled my subscription three years ago and refuse to even buy one at the paper box, because i don’t want to put even a penny toward your overpaid salary. Plain and simple…two weekend ago, when LSU lost to Arkansas, and Georgia moved to #4 and LSU dropped as low as #7 in some polls, the voters knew then that Georgia would not play in the SEC Championship game, but yet, STILL voted them higher. There are no rules regarding only league champions playing i the BS championship (no, I didn’t forget a letter).
The other problem I have is Ohio State and USC breeze through the season each year without having to play in a league championship game. they play no one all year anyway, and then they get a free pass, while SEC, ACC, and all the other major conferences still have that extra game that apparently has become a requirement for getting into a championship game, no matter where you are in the rankings. It’s ludicrous that there is never a true champion with the BS system. Until there is a playoff system, teams each year will have legitimate gripes and arguments. It’s insane that there is no interest from University presidents, as well as the handful of bowl people that have sold their sold to the devil. Moore-on, I will give you this…you are consistent if nothing else…you have always been an idiot, still are an idiot, and always will be an idiot.

First off, you are a beatwriter for the AJC and last time I checked you happen to live in Georgia. For you to slam the state that you live in is just plain stupid. That tells me you are not happy living here or you are ashamed of Georgia so why dont you just pack your bags and get the hell out of dodge! We certainly dont need you in Atlanta writing articles that are pure trash. You would be better served being employed by a sanitation department where you could be posted on the back of a garbage truck since you are a garbage producer in everything that you write and you routinely write garbage in everything that comes off of your typewriter or from your pens.

TM, every time you write an against the Dawgs, every UGA fan out there comes in and starts saying you’re an idiot. Generally, I may not agree with your articles but it’s your job to give your opinion and I’m not going to call you an idiot for having a different opinion from mine.

Now, a true fan that wants the best out of and for his team, such as myself, doesn’t care if he can argue in perpetuity that UGA should have gone to the NC game in 2007. A true fan wants to argue that his team won the NC in 2007 because arguing 5 years down about hypotheticals is just unfulfilling and kind of pathetic. So, while I disagree with you on this, I will not call you an idiot for this.

But, did you actually say that if Uga was a human he could run for president and if Nixon was a dog he could have been a mascot? I wouldn’t say it before, but now I have to agree that you really are an idiot.

All he can do is write for a newspaper. Most sports writer all they can do is write about their own opinions. Most of them like to trash talk about things they no nothing about. Hey since you know so much about LSU. Please explain how a team like LSU can drop two times from No.1 can be so good. Their not. Especially when a non-ranked team beat them. They only beat Tenn. in the SEC bowl game by seven points. They couldn’t blow out the other team. That is real sad. The only reason they beat Tenn is that the quarterback threw the ball to them. Tenn was ranked 14. Georgia could match up better with LSU than Tenn. We have more weapons that LSU. We only have to use one guartetback to be beat someone. They have to have two. Well all I have to say that Moore is a stupid sports writer. All he can run his mouth.

We we’re almost not even taken into consideration by everyone (voters, ESPN, etc.) because of a rule that did not exist (conf champtionship). Now I agree that the situation is our fault because of poor performances at SC and TN, but I think most intelligent sports fans know that we would have won the SEC championship against a overrated and constantly injured LSU team. But we didn’t get the shot to play, and that’s just how things happened. But you’re a complete idiot for continuously bashing UGA, who as an AJC writer could be one of your largest sources of income.

Pretty sad that a team that lost 7days ago to an unranked team can still play in the big game.

A “favor” by playing Hawaii? Ha! This a team of fat cannibals, half of which “June” fished out of Honolulu’s drunk tank. If UGA pounds them into poi, people will say: So effin’ what?

By Dawg19

December 4, 2007 3:53 PM | Link to this

As a ‘Dawg fan, I do not feel that the UGA was shafted in getting left out of the title game, though I can make an absolutely logical argument for it. Going into the Conference Championship Weekend, Georgia was ranked behind OSU, Missouri and West Virginia and ahead of LSU, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma. OSU was off and jumped to #1 in the polls. Mizzou and WVU were beaten and fell out of the top 5. LSU won the SEC and jumped UGA as did Virginia Tech and Oklahoma (OU jumped from 9 to 4!!). If it is the case where 3 teams are “better” than another team then why were they not ranked above them the week before? For that matter, why was it that Oklahoma was not ranked above UGA for the last 3 polls and Virginia Tech in the last 5? I know that bringing login into an argument never really makes sense, but neither does jumping 3 teams over another.

I personally am more upset about not playin in the Rose Bowl against USC in what would truly be a great game. The revenue would be awesome because the Rose would not have to worry about UGA not filling their quota on seats. The UGA allotment for the Sugar Bowl were gone in less than 12 hours. We travel well. Again I was dissapointed when UGA, when skipped over by the Rose for #13 Illinois, were again skipped for the Fiesta Bowl to play OU. Again, this would have been another VERY strong matchup. UGA to the Sugar is anti-cliamatic, though still sweet. I look forward to the matchup against Hawaii but personally would have preferred to have seen the ‘Dawgs play the Trojans or Sooners, as I am sure many of the fans of those 2 teams, especially USC, would have preferred to be matched up against UGA than Illinois or West Virginia.

Mr. Moore, you can argue all you want to about how the BCS Bowl System is such a great thing, but it dosen’t necissarily make it so. For money it may be, but if you want a true champion then there needs to be competition for it. Until that time comes deserving teams like Missouri will get left out of big games and teams like Utah, Boise State, Hawaii, etc will be left saying “what if” on an annual basis.

I have to admit thought that my favorite statement in your entire article is as follows: “Nobody ever can prove that Georgia isn’t better than LSU, which the Bulldogs aren’t.” So, you are saying that it can’t be proven, but you want us to take your word for it as an absolute fact? If it can’t be proven how do you “know”? Seems to be a bit of a contradiction on messages there. Maybe you should try qualifying your statements a little more with a claim of opinion instead of a statement of fact. Especially when, in the statement before said the fact can’t be proven. Make up your mind. In the end to me, your message is that you would prefer that everybody that is a fan of UGA to just ‘shut the hell up already’ so you can stay on your soapbox a little longer and tell us just how sorry we all are because it makes you feel more self-righteous than you were 10 minutes before you went on your rant.

As usual, Terrence, you’re wrong. Auburn played a tougher schedule than both USC and Oklahoma in 2004. The reason Auburn was left out of the BCS Title Game that year was that USC and Oklahoma started the season ranked #1 and #2 and did not lose.

And, in their final game, with the score tied at 21, and Washington driving for the winning score, the officials made a horrendous call against Washington, stopping a drive and handing Hawaii the ball. It’s absurd to give Hawaii any consideration at all as being a worthy opponent.

2) Dmitri … For the love of God, you and all the other Dawg haters, please stop with the worst line in the BCS controversy this year … “You should have taken care of business.” The fact is nobody except Hawaii “took care of business”, so arguments like that are inane (do you know what that word means, Dmitri?). Everybody has a beef. I even spoke with a Florida fan today who told me that Georgia got screwed.

3) Finally, I think we should all boycott posting on T-Moore’s columns so that he’ll quit the needling that he does. He’s actually a nice guy, but he simply enjoys too much getting a rise out of people.

Georgia is the HOTTEST team in the country right now and should naturally play for the national championship. Simple math states that if #1 and #2 lose, then #3 and #4 SHOULD move up to the #1 and #2 slots. It doesnt take a nuclear physicist or a rocket scientist to figure this out. How then does a #7 team, LSU, somehow manager to move in front of a #2 team. THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE and the University of Georgia got robbed blindly by a system that is too flawed to produce a legitimate championship. Right now, believe it or not, Georgia can beat ANY team in the nation, and I truly wish that Georgia werent getting screwed of an opportunity to play either USC, Ohio State or anyone else for the national championship. It would at least give the guys who played in the last one, Hersell Walker, Lindsey Scott, Buck Belue and the rest of their teammates something to cheer about. I will always remember December 2, 2007 because it was the day that the Georgia college football team was robbed out of their birthright to play for a national championship by a BCS system that is completely useless.

Moore you’re an idiot. How about the fact that Georgia was robbed of playing the likes of USC in the Rose Bowl. BCS is flawed true, but the grumblings aren’t solely about losing the chance to play for a national championship its also about Vatech and Oklahoma jumping them in the standings because they won conference championships.. I’m pretty sure its possible for a team to be 9-3 (8-0 in conference) and win the SEC while a team from the same division be 10-1 (7-1 in conference) and not get to play for the SEC championship.. should the 9-3 team be ranked higher than the 10-1 team because they won the connference.. you would probably say yes and put it in another smug AJC article of yours making you T. Moore the all-knowing sports writer.

Boo-hoo Georgia isn’t in the title game, wah, wah!

Georgia lost to Tennesse in the regular season, yet they’re entitled to play in the BCS title game?

Say what you want about Hawaii’s schedule, but we won all the games on our schedule.

If Georgia cant win it’s conference, maybe it should find another conference to play in!

Soon tobe lost in the shuffle if even read by anyone, but anyways, here goes…….

Dear Terence,

I agree that LSU should be in the game, especially over Georgia, but I don’t agree that THE Ohio State University deserves to be there. If Hawaii can be snubbed for there weak a* schedule, so can Ohio State. Well OSU could be snubbed in a perfect world lol. In a perfect world, the BSC Championship game would be LSU versus…… Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, USC, West Virginia, or even perhaps Georgia. I have a problem with a team playing for a NATIONAL Championship that did not win i’s conference Championship.

On another note, I have been reading your columns with interest. Like Neal Boortz, you pick the “wrong” side of controversial issues and generate tons of response. it makes me wonder how much of what you write you believe……..

Terrence, you are so right. Georgia is the latest school to think they got the shaft when much of it boils down to who do you play in your non-conference schedule. If you’re going to play a team from the Big 12, play one of the upper tier schools not bottom feeder Oklahoma State. OSU, Baylor, Iowa State are usually in the very bottom of the Big 12 season after season so they aren’t a program to measure your own program against. Neither is Western Carolina or Troy for that matter, even though their program is growing fast!

Dawg fans need to shut up and schedule the real teams during the regular season that will help get them noticed. Teams like Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas. All teams that have sound programs year after year and are used as the yardsticks for other teams to gauge their own success. Heck even the PAC 10 has a few good teams from time to time, Stanford or Cal ever so often, USC year after year and Washington and Oregon have their good spells as well.

I thought it was interesting last year when there was talk about Oklahoma and Georgia putting a home-home series together. Fact is Oklahoma has tried in almost every decade since WWII to get the Dawgs on their schedule but Ugga and company want nothing to do with this team during a regular season.

Bottom line for this season Dawg fans is this: Be ready for what Hawaii is going to bring. There is no team in the SEC that throws the ball and runs the type of NFL style offense they run. If UGA wants to prove they should be in a better bowl next time, they need to blow this team off the map. My bet is it won’t happen since Hawaii has one of the best QB’s in Colt Brennan who threw for more yards than any SEC team, heck his backup had over a 1000 yards in the air.

I’ve got my money on the Rainbows, no points needed!

Hawaii - 12-0

Ohio State - 11-1

LSU - 11-2

Oklahoma - 11-2

Va. Tech - 11-2

USC - 10-2

Just to add a little to ‘JT’s’ statement, when I went to Georgia Southern, Erk was the coach and we were winning a few championships. Erk tried to get UGA on the schedule, but UGA said they couldn’t fit them in. Next year, UGA has Ga. Southern on the schedule, but they are not the team they were in the 80’s. Vince wanted nothing to do with Erk, that is a fact.

And by the way dog fans, Ohio State begins the season next year against Southern Cal, then Southern Cal comes to Columbus the following year. Like 2 years ago, we had Texas in a home and away series. We schedule REAL teams for our non-conference games. Why doesn’t UGA man up a little and quit picking on the small schools.

Buckeye Fan … where’s Kansas in your “perfect world”? They only lost one game, too.

It’s funny to see all these Tech fans posing as Hawaii fans! C’mon … the Rainbow Warriors … that’s about as scary as the Angry Mr. Rogers!

And for all the idiots on here who want to antagonize Georgia … yes, Georgia lost to Tennessee and South Carolina … BUT LSU lost to Arkansas and Kentucky. … And Oklahoma lost to Colorado and Texas Tech … and West Virginia lost to South Florida and Pitt … and Missouri lost to Oklahoma — TWICE. All these teams have a beef, so get over it. If you want to hate on the Dawgs, fine. But the reasons why UGA fans are upset is completely justified based on the current system and the last BCS poll.

Besides, since when did LSU become worthy of playing in the title game over ANYONE after losing its final home game of the season to unranked Arkansas? If that’s the case, West Virginia should be really upset. They didn’t get a chance to squeak past a lame UT team and suddenly become vaulted five spots back into the title game. It’s ridiculous … about as ridiculous as a T-Moore column.

You seem to dog the dogs for being upset because the BCS overlooked them for the championship game. You are probably correct that LSU should jump from the sub top five to number two and Georgia dropping a spot for not playing. My question is, why you are so bitter over the Bulldogs getting upset about this. When you were young and you expected a pony for Christmas and got a mouse. Did you not get upset? When you walk in for your review and expect 5% and get 3% are you not mad. YES. But you seem to think that Georgia is crying because they did not get the championship game. Maybe you should remember your disappointments through life and use that as a reminder to understand Georgia’s disappointment.

Well Mr. Moore, I saw the Braves get a little lighter today as Willie Harris was designated for assignment. As a 50 yr old black male who became a baseball fan during the heyday of black stars such as Aaron, Mays, Robinson, Jackson, Griffey etc, I am screaming but nobody hear’s me. “YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THE ATLANTA BRAVES CANNOT FIND ONE BLACK, AFRICAN-AMERICAN WHO CAN PLAY BASEBALL!!!!!”. Don’t they (The Atlanta Braves organization) understand or even care that I want to see somebody on the field that I can at least half-way relate to.

I remembered an article you wrote about the subject of Blacks and Baseball awhile back. It struck a “chord” with me then and I’ve been “gonged” with the the news of the lone Black American on the Braves team, Willie Harris, gone, now. I guess my caucasian sports bretheren would use the adage of race doesn’t matter and putting the best player on the field. This Braves team makeup is the reverse situation as to the NBA. All white team with black faces that are from a foreign country in the mix. I’m a baseball fan, but I am a black American baseball fan who finds it hard to have hometown allegiance.

Mr. Moore, I realize that you will say anything inflammatory or controversial to incite a response and hopefully ratings, but your latest ramblings are just silly. You are just jumping on the No-to-UGA bandwagon. I have always regards your columns as something that I have little use for due to your biased and prejudice views. The realities are that UGA was voted number 4 the week prior based on what the team had accomplished compared to other teams. Ohio State and LSU had both just lost in the recent past and did not deserve a top five ranking. How can a team lose the last few weeks of the year and still play for a national title? That is bogus. The claim is that they won the league title. If that is true, then UT would be playing for the national title if they had won? We know that it is a shame that this is about money. Where is the title game going to be played? In regards to your past comments about black players on the Braves, how may Atlanta Hawks are white players from the United States? If we are going to base it off fairness, then the NBA should be 78 percent white based on the population of the United States. Yes, that argument has no merit because it is based off of performance. The fact is that the current Braves players have earned that jobs based on performance. Rafael Soranio doesn’t exactly look Caucasian to me. You should be trumpeting the merits of UGA based on having an African American AD. Damon Evans earned his job. If you give a position to someone just because of their race, then you are supporting reverse discrimination. You earn what you get. UGA earned a title shot.

What that team the Dogs will face in the Sugar Bowl? That undefeated Hawaii team? The only only defeated team in the nation. If the BCS really did make sense and was logical, shouldn’t that team be number one in the nation and playing L.S.U. for the national title? Oops! Wait a minute! I forgot! They play in a much weaker conference than a Georgia or Ohio State, or Oklahoma. Yet, they are the only unbeaten team in the land and only ranked number 10 in the polls heading into the Bowl game. I mean if you go by logic and fairness, shouldn’t they be ranked number 1 because of their unbeaten record? Translation into more understandable English-The BCS is nothing but b.s.! Simple as that! A playoff system needs to be implemented in the worst of ways!!

How many times has a team dropped that hadn’t lost to a team that lost just a few days prior? Yes, it is a money scam. How does a team make the NCAA basketball tournament field? It is based off of strength of schedule and quality wins. Would Ohio State qualify? In football, you have idiots like Hal Mumme voting. This guy should have lost his right to vote when he cheated at UK. The program was placed on probation and nothing was done to him. He just moved to another job. There should be a rule that declares a coach found guilty of cheating that results in probation to have a lifetime ban from have influence on important issues such as rankings.

Your columns are a routine waste of ink. If you would like I would be happy to write one for you to cover your years work. It would go like this: “MLB and the Atlanta Braves are rascist against African Americans because there aren’t enough good AFRICAN AMERICAN baseball players right now at the ML level to make some kind of imaginary and ludacris quota.” I think that you actually used a headline like: “Baseball tragically a pale shade away from the glory days.” “UGA is a lucky bunch of good ol’ WHITE BOYS in hunting gear.” “The NCAA and the NFL need to arbitrarily hire AFRICAN AMERICAN coaches.” Why not consider why it is that NFL and NBA athletes are overwhelmingly NOT WHITE. Something needs to be done quick get the league comissioner on the phone. it is imperative to start some congressional comitee or something. No thats a waste of time and a ridiculous idea. That is how your mind works all around RACE. I am sorry that you remain a prisoner to your idiotic opinions.

Hey Buckeye Fan and JT. You’re full of crap, the football schedules are made in advance. Erk was very grateful that UGA put them on the schedule — we play them like every third year or something like that. We play GSU again next year. You’re thinking of GA Tech — they refuse to play GSU. No other SEC teams will play GSU either. As for non-conference play, the schedule conflicts didn’t work out for a home and away series with OU (we approached them). We did get a home and away with Colorado — little did we know their program would take a drop (but normally they’re in the Big 12 title hunt). Taking on teams in your opener like Boise State and OK State are not taking the easy path either. Ok State had a very potent and respectable offense coming into the season this year. Taking on teams like Marshall, UCF, and Troy at the time we played them was also a risky proposition. You’re crazy if you don’t think Troy is a good football team (Sun Belt conference champs two years running). Troy’s spread offense would have a field day against OSU — OSU would never agree to play them. Next year we get ASU at Tempe and MAC champion Central Michigan (two years running). At least the PAC 10 and Big 12 and ACC agree to play us once in awhile. UGA tries to get the Big 10 on their schedule all of the time — they won’t have anything to do with us. The only time we get the Big 10 is in bowl games. I guess the bowl games explain their reluctance. Let’s see; over the last 20 years we’ve played Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue twice, Wisconsin twice in bowl games — oh my gosh, we beat every single one of them every time. OSU is one to talk about non-conference scheduling. Finally next year you put some meat in your schedule. Georgia’s strength of schedule is still more difficult next year. JT, did you ever reveal who you pull for? Georgia isn’t afriad to play anyone and plays a quality schedule year in and year out.

I have complained to everyone I know ever since the sec went to the crazy head to head as a tie breaker in divisions I knew it would be unfair and bite somebody didn’t know it would be us.I liked the old way the tie breaker was done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The HIGHEST RANKED team used to go to the Sugar Bowl.There are a number of reasons head to head is stupid.You don’t play home and home in same year.You don’t play same teams in the other division you might play Auburn,LSU,and ALA.(when Saban has bama rolling and he will)all might be highly ranked and you could beat convincingley all three,while the other team you tie within your division plays Miss.Miss St. and Ark.You could lose that one game early in the year in overtime on the road after a main players hurt or just be very young at a number of positions.And at the end of the year be ranked number one in the nation with one loss, while the team you tied gets blown out in their SEC loss and lose to a couple of non conference teams be ranked 15 and guess what YOU DIDN’T WIN YOUR CONFERENCE so you shouldn’t be considered.Its assinine.If there is a tie the team should have to at least be with in 10 spots unlike Tenn this year!!!!!!!!!!
