I don’t know who markets UGA basketball, but they do a pretty poor job of it.

They schedule to play Gonzaga in Gwinnett the same day the Falcs take on Dallas. Talk about having a big game get lost in the shuffle.

How about having the game at Philips with no competition and market the heck out of the game to the locals to build awareness.

There is zero buzz or time given to the basketball team. It comes from the alumni yes, but it is even worse with the athletic department.

The only person who markets UGA basketball is Chip Towers. And I hate to burst your bubble, but that ain’t reaching enough people.

Maybe I would care more if they didn’t remove us from the “Big Dance” in 2003. I guess the self imposed sanctions really helped us!

I would have rather taken our chances with the NCAA.

Well Chip, I’ll tell you why. I live in Roswell. Try working until 6-6:30, fight rush hour traffic along I-85 or Hwy 78 to get to a 7 o’clock game. Can you do it? No! 9 o’clock games mean getting home after midnight. Weekend games are fine but not many are at home. That’s why I don’t get to Athens much.

It just takes time and they have to keep winning before UGA fans come out. I was there during the Dominique years as a student and it was slow at first. But once they started winning consistently, it became the hottest seat in town.

Not surprised about the lack of support for basketball. Football rules in Athens,and really not much to cheer about in that department either.

You cannot get a ticket to Alexander Memorial to watch the Jackets throttle Duke, or any other team, but the football team is running the stairs during basketball games in Stegeman.

Pathetic!

Felton hasn’t accomplished anything for this team. And as was pointed out earlier, being removed from NCAA when they actually had a chance to compete a few years back ruined a lot of fan support. I agree with the earlier poster…they should have taken their chances with the NCAA and played out their tourney. It wasn’t fair to the players or the fans.

Good point, Steve, about getting to Athens from Atlanta. What’s stopping you tomorrow, though? Felton moved Saturday non-TV games to 4 p.m. tipoffs just for people like you. Plenty of time to run errands on Saturday, get the for tipoff, game over by about 6 p.m., can eat out in Athens or be home in to make supper… . Also, to Felton’s credit, he said this week it’s up to him and his team to create excitement and momentum. Win enough, he says, and fans weill come… . It’s a healthy sort of chicken-and-egg debate though, don’t you think?

It’s kind of like how Tech grads aren’t able to fly in from Islamabad or Bangalore to watch all the Thursday night football games, thus resulting in a tiny, inadequate stadium being less than half full (or only having less than 2,000 “fans” travel to the Nut Bowl to see their team get popped by 28 points by the third best team in the Moutnain West Conference).

I guess UGA’s basketball team needs a new slogan: How ‘bout — “Felton: Way More Competent Than Chan”

Most UGA fans, me included, don’t give a rat’s butt about anything but football. It’s not basketball season, Chippy, it’s recruiting season. After that, it won’t be baseball season, it’ll be spring practice and the G-Day game. If the basketball team happens to win the SEC, or make the NCAA tournament, we’ll pay attention for a little while. Same if the baseball team makes the playoffs.

Say that reminds me, who is heck is Sundiata Gaines and why should anyone other than her mama and Andy Landers care?

Oh, and we don’t care about girls basketball either, unlike those sissy Tennessee fans.

We only like girls gymnastics for the skintight outfits.

To heck with the tolks who can’t get to the games from Atlanta… that’s understandable.

There’s MORE than enough people in Athens/Clarke who should care enough to fill Stegman on most nights. With students getting in cheap, if not free (I really don’t remember, but I know it wasn’t much more than $1 to attend a game as a student) when there are 30,000 students, it makes no sense that the students don’t pack the place each and every night. The alums and non-student fans always have been fair-weather about basketball, here, and even when the team does well, it’s not assured those seats would be filled, anyhow, but if and when this program puts together a string of successful seasons and can keep the coach here that does that, that problem will go away.

If I’m marketing this team, I’d provide some incentive(s) for the students to pack their side of the arena, period.

I’d love to see the Dawgs play bball, but the drive isn’t so great from Marietta for a weeknight game. Unfortunately, the team doesn’t get much tv exposure, although we haven’t been too fun to watch on tv over the last few years. I think they should play at Philips Arena on a Saturday for a big non-conference game. I agree that the Gonzaga game was just bad timing, I’m sure there was no way around the fact that the Falcons played on the same night. I put all of my confidence in Coach Felton that he is starting to build a strong program and soon the Dawgs will start drawing bigger crowds. I’ll admit that I’m a huge college football fan and the Dawgs are my team, but the AJC doesn’t focus enough on local college basketball. Right now, the focus is on nothing but college recruiting. I’d love to know where these high school seniors are going, but can’t we focus on kids that are currently in college playing basketball???

If you are a UGA fan, please refrain from making statements such as “most UGA fans don’t give a rat’s butt about anything but football.” Not only is this statement inaccurate, it shows that you really are not a true UGA fan. If you were, you would care about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is UGA.

Fan support will return in due time. The Harrick’s stained our program tremendously. Coach Felton is rebuilding from the ground up, and he is doing a tremendous job. They will contend for the NCAA tourney this year.

Why’s everyone hatin’ on basketball? I’m a football fan first, but I root for all Georgia teams. As a student, nothing is better than dropping everything and taking a break from studying at Stegeman on a weeknight. It is understandable that people can’t make the drive during the week, but that’s no excuse for our poor weekend attendence. Come on up everyone and support the team, and that includes you, “football only.”

I don’t ever, this is the first, on the Ugag blogs (unlike your people I don’t think I’m entitled!), but I don’t understand why the Ugag Nation doesn’t support its basketball team like the football team. Is it intellectual……it takes more thought to look at the stategy of a BBall game than football one (you can’t tail gate before the game?)? I don’t know….I’ve never been to Stegman, but from Ugagers on this blog, they don’t have a lot of good to say about it.

Anyway, good luck to the Ugagers for the rest of the season, just beat Kanetucky, and LSU and all faults will be forgiven.

With comments like that, does anyone wonder if Football only actually attended UGA? I mean, I’m not going to put down fans of the school who didn’t or don’t or don’t plan on attending. I’m not a snob or elitist. But the fans who are just fans, who have no ties to the school outside that they grew up in Georgia, and Georgia is the big state school, and maybe Grandpa or Dad went there so I’ll root for them; well, those kind of fans tend to only support the football team.

They’re like Christmas-Easter Catholics / Christians. They show up for the big events, but they don’t show up year round, even though they’ll wear the colors year round and say that they are a Georgia Fan.

So Football only, please, when you say you’re a Georgia fan, well, that’s not true. You’re a Georgia FOOTBALL fan. And that’s okay. I love that support and passion (and money) that y’all bring to Sanford Stadium (because the old grey-haired alumni are crappy fans) on gameday. But please, don’t claim to be a Georgia fan. You’re a Georgia FOOTBALL fan. And that’s okay. Keep spending you’re money on Georgia football. It helped to fund this beautiful and functional building I’m sitting in right now.

You’re the kind of guy who is helping me recieve a top-flight education. But you’re not a Georgia fan. You’re a Georgia FOOTBALL fan.

And Chip, I brought this up on your last blog, and you need to address it. The Stegesaurus only had ONE stinkin’ ticket booth open for students Wednesday night. One. There, I think, eight booths in total. And there were no lines at those booths. The line at the student booth stretched all the way back around the arena, and was a 30 minute wait. I missed the first 10 minutes of the first half.

You need to address why the University (Michael Adams) sees fit to treat the student body so poorly when it comes to sporting events. Look, we’re the ones who bring the noise and we’re the ones who actually care about the team. I saw hundreds and hundreds of grey-haired alumni sit on their wrinkled butts the whole stinkin’ game, and it was a GREAT game! They didn’t cheer, they didn’t clap. They didn’t do anything, accept to talk to other people. They have great seats, yet they act like cheering and getting loud is above them. Like it would be beneath them to act like a real fan who cares about the team.

That is what’s killing this team. That long line at the ONE student ticket booth wound up turning away at least 200 students, who could have made a much bigger presence for the home team on Wednesday. You think that the University could see fit to open TWO booths for student tickets on game nights, especially when the other 7 don’t have any lines. Damon Evans’ and Michael Adams’ policies are killing the support this team could have from the student body.

So if you want to blame anyone for not having a louder building on Wednesday night, Chip, blame the Athletics Department, starting with the guys at the top: Adams and Evans.

Adams has made it known here in his tenure that alumni have priority at sporting events, even though the vast majority of the ones over 50 only support the team with their pockets, and when they sit in their great seats, don’t utter a peep of vocal support. What Adams is forgetting is that the students under his tenure will eventually be alumni with extra cash to spend. And instead of buying tickets to basketball and football, they might take a cruise to Alaska or something, when they remember how their university treated them when it came to trying to get tickets when they were students.

That’s the rub. The people who would die to support the teams at UGA live and in person, who would scream their lungs out, are the people the University gives the scraps to. That’s not fair. And it’s not right. And it is EXACTLY why Sanford Stadium has no homefield advantage for our football team, and it is exactly why the Stegesaurus was a morgue on Wednesday night. What a shame.

Chip, I think you should also ask why there is also a lack of fan support for the Women’s basketball team. They are CONSISTENTLY ranked year after year in the Top 25, and have won more Championships and been to more Final Fours than the men’s basketball team will ever live to tell about. Yet, despite all of their accomplishments, the men’s basketball team STILL averages a HIGHER attendance than the women. The Lady Bulldogs have a better shot at winning a National Title and it’s time the GA nation gave them the support they deserve. Furthermore, they play Tennessee on Sunday, and in my opinion, no seat should be left empty.

UGA fans, I don’t think it’s the teams you’ve had, but the situation with both the fan base, and students. Let’s face it all of your fans would drive from anywhere in the state to watch the football team play. To some people, I believe it’s the reason for living. Both my sons graduated from Georgia, and their opinion is there is not the right culture now that supports basketball, even amongst the students. You know that when you play Kentucky or Florida, or even Tech, fan support is not a problem, but what about MState, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt. At sometime you’ve got to have National rankings, make a run or win the SEC championship, or go to the final four. A few years of that, and you’ll be surprised how the fans will show up.

Neil, this is easy…no one supports the women’s team because no one supports women’s athletics. If they were that good they’d be playing with the men. Women’s sports have to be segregated because they are inferior athletes. If they are on ESPN and I have NOTHING else to do, I may watch, especially if it’s against Sgt. Summit and the Vawls, but there is no way I’d ever waste an afternoon going to a game.

As for basketball, even though the arena is terrible, when the place is packed the atmosphere is great. I went there a lot(more than I did to football games actually) several years ago, the last game I attended before I moved was when we beat #1 or #2 Pitt on New Years Eve several years ago. Basketball will pick up with success just like all the bandwagon ATL pro sports fans who showed up when the Braves first got good then disappeared in the worst pro city in America.

SanDiegoJacket, you should be a comedian out there in California. You may have never been to Stegman but if you have been to the “thriller dome” or “Historic Bobby Dodd” stadium then you have seen true architectural dissapointments. Just need to bulldoze those 2 and start over. As far as Dawg basketball is concerned I think that the Harrick’s truly did eliminate fan support. It is slowly coming back. It also didn’t help losing 4 in a row after the big win over Gonzaga. I used to have basketball season tickets but traveling an hour from my home on weeknights just got to be too much for me and my family to handle. Going to Athens on Saturday is alot easier. GO DAWGS

Update on the season so far :

Worst shooter on the team : Mike Mercer .42 percent of his shots.

. Taken Most shots on team : Mike Mercer 210 Twice as many shots as the next nearest. .

Worst 3 point shooter : Mike Mercer 26 percent of his shots. .

Worst Free Throw Shooter : Mike Mercer 56 percent. .

Most Turnovers on the entire team : Mike Mercer 39 .

.

http://admin.xosn.com/fls/8800/stats/mbasketball/2007/teamcume.htm

What is wrong with this picture that the WORST SHOOTER , takes twice as many shots as ANYONE and EVERYONE else ?

Mike Mercer’s jacking up of the ball and turnovers along with his abysmal free throw shooting, are the biggest problem with the team. Mike Mercer is not our best player, but our worst player. He is a ball hog who cannot shoot his way out of a wet paper bag, and his unforced turnovers suck. If you wanted to make the team better, you would sit his butt on the pine, or wait until he graduates; then, we might have a better team.

He is out of control, and it is excruciating. Quit making it sound otherwise.

Georgia should win Chip ? Vandie just beat the vols. How many times did you say Harrick Scandal Chip ? How many times has any AJ-C Sportswriter written that Georgia Tech is in NCAA Major Infractions Database PROBATION for all this year and all next year as a University for cheating in 4 sports playing 11 ineligible players not a 1 of which would have been eligible at ANY college ? The answer to that is amazingly 0.

Georgia is not on Probation in ANY Sport. We have a full compliment of scholarships in every sport. We have a team of turnovers, poor shooting and poor free throw shooting because you prop up Mike Mercer as our best player. You get what you deserve covering them in this fashion.

I think you report to a worthless Sports Editor who can only find fault with UGA and prop up Georgia Tech.

No. I take that back : I know you do.

By BuLLdawg

January 13, 2007 04:12 AM | Link to this

No. I actually like the women’s basketball of Andy Landers. I always have. I also watch and when not on TV listen to streaming audio of the baseball games, and especially enjoy kicking butt against Georgia Tech in those sports too. Speaking of which, when does the AJ-C point out as I that Dennis Felton does NOT have a losing record to Georgia Tech but that Paul Hewitt DOES HAVE A LOSING RECORD TO UGA.

Duke ? Duke is not any good.

By the way in baseball, UGA has beaten Georgia Tech 43 more times than Tech has beaten UGA.

Who is Sundiata Gaines ?

Sundiata Gaines has a higher field goal percentage than Mike Mercer, higher 3 point shooting percentage than Mike Mercer, higher free throw percentage than Mike Mercer, fewer turnovers than Mike Mercer although it is Sundiata Gaines who is the point guard and brings the ball up, has more Offensive Rebounds than Mike Mercer, has more Defensive Rebounds than Mike Mercer, leads the team in rebounding not Mike Mercer, has fewer fouls than Mike Mercer, has more assists than Mike Mercer, and has fewer turnovers than Mike Mercer - but, then again WHO DOESN’T ? Mike Mercer is our worst player, not that the AJ-C has anything but headlines today about Mike Mercer and how much greater he is than he used to be and how he leads the team in scoring.

Who is Takais Brown ? Has the highest field goal percentage at 58 percent on the team except for Albert Jackson at 66 percent, is 3rd on the team in Free Throw Percentage at a very good 74 percent behind only Billy Humphrey at 94 percent and Levi Stukes at 89 percent. And, although he only gets to shoot 120 times on the season to-date, which I would fix by benching Mike Mercer, he has made 70 while Mike Mercer by contrast has made 20 more field goals than Takais by taking 89 more shots. Or, another way of saying that is that Mike Mercer has missed 89 of 109 shots Takais Brown could have taken.

Terrence Woodbury is a good player, Steve Newman has done well, Rashaad Singleton leads the team in blocked shots, and Dave Bliss has done well too. The entire team is best described as having done their job. All except for Mike Mercer, who has had yet another horrid season, yet again.

With no hope of fixing it now, with the conference games now on.

I do concur, however, that this is recruiting season; and, not men’s basketball season. And, where are Chip’s put down of Tech for their attendance in that football stadium they named for the college drop out Bobby Dodd?

Chris you are totally right that Dennis Felton has not accomplished anything with his teams. They beat an overrated at the time Gonzaga team, who isn’t any better than Duke either. Neither of those teams is any good. Georgia would beat Duke.

Let’s face it.

Georgia won the SEC All-Sports Trophy for this season, because we are the best overall Athletics Department in the Number 1 Conference in the 21 sports the SEC competes in.

We follow our sports. It is the AJ-C who does not, but at least has an article to catch the attention of Dawgs’ Fans of our Athletic Department daily. I will give you that. Now, end the damn bias.

Oh, I don’t know…I thought it was seriously wrong for Dennis Felton to pick on our fans for not wanting to watch a team that JACKS THE BALL UP, MISSES, TURNS THE BALL OVER AND CANNOT HIT THE BACKBOARD ON FREE THROW SHOTS.

He gets what he deserves if he is going to play into the AJ-C hands so that the headlines daily are then what he said about us not going to the damn games to watch a team who cannot dribble and pass, nor shoot, and who has a coach who has the worst shooter take twice as many shots as EVERYONE ELSE.

If I were marketing or coaching the team, I would give incentives to the fans who pull for the players on the team who DO MAKE THEIR FREE THROWS, who DO MAKE THEIR FIELD GOAL SHOTS, who DO MAKE THEIR 3-POINT SHOTS, and who do NOT turn the damn ball over.

.1. Pick the player who is going to make the highest percentage of his shots, win a free ticket to the next game.

.

.2. Pick the player who is going to have the fewest turnovers per minute played, win a free ticket to the next game.

.

.3. Pick the sportswriter for any paper who ACTUALLY TALKS about Shooting Percentage and Turnovers per minute, and a win a season pass.

Won’t have to give that one away. There are not any.

Gonzaga game wasn’t bad for us. It was Sundiata Gaines’ ankle sprain, which he is over now finally last game.

And, having Mike Mercer take Sundiata’s job of point guard with his ball hog tactics and poor shooting. Did you know he went 0 for 10 against Georgia Tech ?

Look, this men’s basketball program has never been a consistent program. We compete in the toughest conference in men’s basketball, and have a coach who lets the worst shooter jack the ball up on every possession and dribble it out of bounds.

Stegeman sucks. The only stadium worse is the Georgia Tech Big Tet, or Bobby Cremins Arena now that Tech renamed it for the coach they ran out of town on a rail and FIRED instead of naming it Whack Hyder Arena as it ultimately will have to be changed to.

Or, always be named wrong.

If they want to support just the football team, that is fine with me. I hold nothing against them and appreciate them equally with fans of all UGA Sports who ALSO support our football program which is the 2nd best in the SEC in the Coach Richt Era. By one game more lost and one game less won than LSU.

Why would a Georgia Football Fan come in here to a Men’s Basketball blog ? Excuse me, he is very welcome. Where the hell else this morning is he to talk the UGA Sport he only follows here on the hometown newspaper we DOMINATE.

The STUDENTS pay for these sports, and their $1 is in ADDITION to all our other fees we pay including for the seats in our activity fees we have no choice but to pay for all 35,000 of us.

Ok, I went to the Peach Bowl this year.

So, what ?

I have not gone to Stegeman this season. I hate Mike Mercer and hate the cow palace and hate Michael Adam$. I also hate teams, who when they were flying high, only I pointed out the flaws that would bring us down : turnovers, poor free throw shooting, and poor shooting from the field.

It is what has in fact happened.

And, Mike Mercer remains our worst shooter, turnover artists, worst free throw shooter, and biggest ball hog taking twice as many shots as the next nearest guy who ever gets a chance to shoot on the team, but Mike Mercer makes the worst percentage.

Address the issues, not put down the attendance.

There is NO REASON for me to go to the game.

None.

What ?

Boo Mike Mercer ?

That’s not being a fan of our team.

I spoke my peace and maybe, just maybe, someone else in the know will say something that will finally hit home with Mike Mercer and Dennis Felton on the issues of turnovers and missing shots.

I ain’t watching that Shiite.

Forget it.

And, John Thomas you are totally correct.

Dreaming about Final Four in Atlanta this year, SEC Championships, or big seasons, is so much BS with a team who cannot shoot but turns the ball over. Why is it only I speak of this as the ISSUE.

I feel sorry for you Badger NON Dawg. I really do. I am glad that you feel so damn superior because you are a man. Boy.

I’ve been to Stegeman as a fan and I have played there. It is a horrible gym that finding the rim is impossible as a shooter.

Did you selectivly omit USA Today Coaches Poll ? Me, I’ll take coaches opinions over writers…in real life, are you a defense lawyer..?

No, I readily state that the USA Today ONLY Coaches’ Poll has not had Georgia Bulldogs ranked two (2) of the 10 straight now that ONLY GEORGIA has been ranked in the Final AP Polls. A Complete Entire Decade : Georgia and ONLY Georgia in the Final AP Polls.

I am so glad that you prefer the USA Today Coaches’ Poll is your preference, because the Tennessee vols have NOT been ranked in 3 of the previous 6 Final AP Polls, and would not be in this one, except for Number 25 two places (2 spots) WORSE than UGA.

It just warms my heart that you feel this way about the USA Today Coaches’ Poll, of course, it used to be sponsored by ESPN and is NOT any longer. ESPN dumped it.

Is this because the coaches, like Spurrier vote for DUKE every year because they used to be a team he coached for?

Is this because the Big XII coaches vote as a block for Big XII and Midwestern teams with their pansy cupcake schedules ?

Is this because the coaches, Coach Richt for example, states that he CANNOT WATCH EVERY GAME EVERY WEEK TO HAVE ANY CLUE HOW TO VOTE with all the other jobs a coach/CEO has ?

Hey, how did Fulmer vote in the Final coaches’ poll, tell me ? You don’t know because NO COACHES’ VOTES ARE KNOWN FOR ANY POLL EXCEPT FOR THE ONE (1) THAT IS ONE BEFORE THE FINAL POLL.

And, of course, the worthless final poll of the coaches’ can be any damn thing they want to vote for with no one telling us how they voted.

How did Phfat Fil vote ? That it should not be 4 of the last 7 years that the vols have not been ranked ?

The AJ-C, for example, quotes the AP Poll everyday. So, too does AM750 and every other person, besides yourself. But, I am so proud of the vols being ranked at all for a change. Coach Richt is 4-2 vs. Fulmer.

In the meantime, UGA is ranked in the Final AP Poll for the 10th consecutive season, and only UGA has been for this last entire decade.

Take a breath and keep that paper bag handy…This isn’t a challenge to your self proclaimed expertise on college football…

Sagarin has UT strength of schedule at 4th, UGA at 24th. Also, Sagarin has UT ranked above UGA in final poll. Sagarin practically eliminates the EMOTIONAL factor associated with AP/Coaches polling, putting emphasis on statistical margins. Whether my team, yours or theirs, does Sagain methods, in your opinion, make it the final word in polls..? I say yes. Over the years and through the season, it is an indicator of facts, not fiction…

Neil you asked why there is also a lack of fan support for the Women’s basketball team?

Because they haven’t been able to finish the drill and win a National Championship. They should have won at least 3 titles, 2 in the 80’s and one in the 90’s. But each time they have gotten into the final four and/or championship game they have found ways to lose instead of win. While you right about them being consistant winners they haven’t been able to get over that hump and win the ultimate prize a National Championship.

BTW part of the problem is they don’t get the coverage the men’s program does as well.

For some reason, Searles inspires a lot of confidence in me , so I’m not overly concerned ahout our “OL”; however, our receivers still have me on the edge of my seat with concern. 7 dropped passes in the bowl game and two were wide open TD catches? Just hope that MR knida sticks his noew into the coaching on that end of the field. We’re going to have a ton of fire power if they can learn how to catch. I’m for sure not thinking about YAC BECAUSE WE AREN’T THAT FAR ALONG YET.

Buck,

I think we will be fine because everybody knows we have had problems with our receivers catching the football. Anyone watching would note that most of the time it was from a lack of concentration which was exasperated by all the penalties and missed blocking assignments. So I believe the coaches will work with all these guys to improve in this area. As for our OL that is an area of strenghth for our team as are the QB and RB positions. So Buck did you get a kick out of that animated picture of BuLLdawg?

All these people posting about football are so narrow minded. They are obviously the fans that jumped on the bandwagon in 2002 and probably could not tell you who caoched the team before Jin Donnan.

We do have the potential to be a good basketball team in not only the strongest football conference in the NCAA but also the strongest basketball conference as well. Felton has done a good job of picking up the program since under achieving his first year with some great players that he inherited.

One of the problems is the fact they could lower the cost of some of the tickets for the games to 10.00 maybe. It does get a little expensive to take a family of 4 to a weekend basketball game. So I hope Damon and Mike Adams are reading this, but they are probably just counting the money.

.

.

Coach Richt is 61-17 in his tenure now after adding 6 Consecutive Final AP Poll Rankings to the 4 Consecutive which Jim Donnan began before being replaced by Coach Richt. This streak is the longest current of all 119 Division 1-A Programs, a Decade 10-Year Run of Consecutive Years being ranked in the Final AP Poll.

However, it is only LSU - who just gave up all their coaches to other teams in the off-season - who in fact have done better, of all SEC Programs, than Coach Richt in these 1st 6 seasons of Coach Richt as The BuLLDawgs’ Coach with LSU 62-16.

The difference of course, is clearly the Vandie game this season in which the only SEC win posted by Vandie was posted against Coach Richt’s new true freshman quarterback - who did nothing in the game.

Headlines of discussing numbers, like there are no discussions in football about numbers, like they do not matter, one would think would naturally lead into a discussion of the 10 fumbles (6 lost) against 3 TD runs of Matthew Stafford and 13 interceptions against 7 TD passes of Stafford.

Instead, we have some hope for the next season that at least next year Matthew Stafford will be ready, because even in the last 3 games over 2 ranked and 1 unranked opponent for 2006-2007, Matthew Stafford had 5 turnovers (2 fumbles lost both against Auburn for their only scores, 1 fumble, lost 1, against Tech for Tech to take and hold the lead all game long as a direct result as well, and against Virginia Tech yet another fumble (recovered by our OL) and his 13th SEC leading interception). So, in the last 3 games 5 more turnovers against only 3 more TDs.

This the best we can hope for ?

Well, I would state that it is totally clear that 2007-2008 holds another similar 23 miscues of Matthew Stafford either fumbles or interceptions, but one would not think barring a Sophomore Jinxed Season, that he would end up playing every game of the 13 he did this year again next year and have to show for it 7 TD passes.

To say that Matthew Stafford struggled this season, would be the supreme understatement.

To say that it will be much different next season, would be based upon just what now pray tell ?

There was no discussion, not one word, about Mike Mercer in any article about the game not on TV but we will be on CBS next Saturday. However, Mike Mercer in fact had a turnover to continue to lead the ‘Dawgs in turnovers and shot 1-4 from the 3-point line which is in fact his average, and made a grand total of 10 shots at the rim, 7 of which clanged off 6 from the field to continue to have the worst field goal percentage on the team, and another missed free throw missing the front end of a 1-1 with the game in the balance to also have the worst free throw percentage on the team.

So, how did the team win ? The Dawgs found 5 guys with more playing time that Mike Mercer and they make their shots, don’t turn the ball over, and don’t jack the ball up to lead the team in shots at the rim only to have the worst shooters’ touch on the team.

In fact, it goes back to Littrell Green to find a shooter as poor as Mike Mercer, who is not a 1 and is not a 2 - so, what is he ?

Neyland

You lost the last game against a team ranked worse than UGA, Neyland. How convenient of you to try to forget while saying that Seagram’s Ratings (using Lou Holtz’s term for it) are more important than the damn AP Poll buttwipe. And, both Penn State and the Tennessee vols are WORSE RANKED in the Final AP Poll than Georgia.

This is because we won our bowl game, something that we have done 8 of the last 10 bowl games, win. And, because the vols lost their bowl game as only the vols are apt to do, finding no program in America with MORE BOWL LOSSES THAN THE vols.

You can sit there and act as high and mighty as you want, but the fact is that Phillip Fulmer is hardly the media darling. Nor is he your hero neither Neyland. Or, you would not name yourself for a coach of yesteryear.

In the 6 prior seasons, Fulmer has not been ranked whatsobloodyever in the Final AP Poll and this season, Number 25 to UGA Number 23. When there is something more relevant in Division 1-A anything than where you are ranked in the Final AP Poll in that sport, by God let me know.

Seagram’s Ratings more relevant than Final AP Poll.

BS.

Jeff Sagarin is the most biased, BS artist of all time. His rankings come out preseason when he has all the PAC 10 teams at the top of the polls, and then they promptly go out and beat no one. He does the same thing preseason ranking all the Big 10 teams at the top. Then, they too, play no one.

You LOST to an old codger who was not even on the sidelines trying to hold on to see which can live longer Booby Bowden or Joe Papa.

It is what you always do. Lose your bowl games and have now a 2-4 record against Coach Richt.

And, end up ranked worse than Coach Richt in the Final AP Poll every damn year.

Did you get that ?

Georgia beat Auburn Number 9 and the vols beat California over ranked at Number 14 as our best wins this season. Georgia also beat Number 19 Virginia Tech and you beat Georgia Number 23. In the eyes of those who matter, who shape the opinions of others, the vols DID NOT HAVE AS GOOD A YEAR AS GEORGIA DID.

Get over it.

You have a fat slob of a coach, who is a whiner and liar. A pathological liar. As to what I know I don’t know about college football, your and my hobby, that speaks for itself daily in here.

Coach Richt is given a bye.

Get over that too Neyland. He is a good guy and Phfat Fil is a joke.

Coach Richt out recruits Fulmer every single year and always has.

He beats better good teams than Fulmer does. Everyone knew that Fulmer would lose to Penn State. Everyone likewise knew, with a 10-0 record against the ACC now, that Coach Richt would BEAT Virginia Tech.

All he had to do was not turn the ball over. In the end, he had our Defense go out there and get 5 turnovers out of Virginia Tech to offset the fumble and interception by his true freshman QB Matthew Stafford. Stafford looked better at the end of year (well, better than he did the first 10 games anyway) in his last 3 games against what then were at game time 3 ranked opponents.

2 of the opponents in the last 3 games were very highly ranked, and these 2 wins are fresh on the minds firmly embedded in everyone’s minds all off-season until next season compared with the crappy performance of Danny Ainge’s nephew, who had as poor a game as he could possibly muster in just Fulmer’s latest Bowl Loss.

Twist that anyway you want, staring at the BCS Polls, and try to suggest that 9-4 UGA is not viewed as about the same as the vols ONLY BETTER for the season also 9-4 because our 2 wins over Final AP Poll top-ranked teams were far more impressive than some diddle-e-squat wins by comparison where Fulmer’s Wins were not up to the measure in ANYONE’S mind, your own included, than Coach Richt’s wins over Auburn and Virginia Tech.

At the end of the season when the coaching up of the teams is obvious for the season, Coach Richt simply put had his troops doing better against better opponents than Fulmer did, didn’t he ?

You see ?

Even you agree.

And, what does Fulmer have ?

3 of the previous 6 years, NOT RANKED AT ALL in the Final AP Poll. Why would I even begin to think otherwise than you would have some lamebrain idea that Jeff Sagarin is more relevant than the Final AP Poll ?

Because that straw you grasp for is all you have.

You bring up the coaches’ poll like it too more relevant than the Final AP Poll, when in fact, you know it too to not be.

The coaches ARE TOLD HOW TO VOTE IN THE FINAL COACHES’ POLL.

This is America.

I can have an opinion and come in here and ram it down your throat if I so prefer. You can open your trap and switch feet for all I care. You look like a complete idiot with Fulmer as having done better than Coach Richt at 2-4 against our coach, and unranked half the last half dozen years prior.

And, now AGAIN as every year, ranked worse than Coach Richt in the Final AP Poll.

Fulmer’s wins over California and Georgia are not nearly as impressive as Coach Richt’s Wins over Number 9 Auburn and Number 19 Virginia Tech.

Both 9-4.

Both pretty much the same kind of season, only UGA has a great situation comparatively to Fulmer going into next season because we did our best work in the last 3 games, and you stunk up the SEC as you always do in your damn nation-leading bowl losses.

And, worse rankings than Coach Richt in the Final AP Poll.

Do not hope to come into this forum and EVER state that the vols are Number whatever in the AP Poll.

You said it was a worthless meaningless poll.

Only it is the ONLY ONE QUOTED BY ANYONE.

Including yourself in every previous post about rankings.

You are full of Shiite.

You are 9-4 for the season and we are 9-4 for the season, and we passed your lying, cheating, fat slob of a coach with a nice guy Coach Richt in the most meaningful Final AP Poll as he always does.

This season is no different. Go crawl back under your rock and hide from these salient facts about a coach NO ONE ADMIRES because he always loses his bowl games, never beats the better top-ranked teams, and always is ranked worse than Coach Richt in the Recruiting and in the Final AP Poll as a result despite the fact that you give your Coach far better facilities that we do our coach. There is NO EXCUSE for Fulmer’s lack of success compared to Coach Richt. None.

Go beat some top football teams, and come crawling back in The UGA BuLLDawgs’ Fans’ Discussion Group on our UGA Beat Blog and tell us all how Fulmer did better than Coach Richt in beating the top teams.

Fulmer did not beat better top teams than Coach Richt yet again this season.

Did he ?

I graduated from UGA in the Top 5 percent of the graduating class in 1977 honored at the Foy Fine Arts Building August that year Top 5 percent. This would have been years before this whippersnapper was even born.

He discusses nothing of having even tried to take a class at UGA, lives in Aladamnbama - the Hell Hole - and cannot address items about UGA 10 Years in a Row in the Final AP Poll, yes repeated by me, and MENTIONED NOT YET, BY A SOUL OTHERWISE yet totally true contrary to his theory of no knowledge, given the URL Links, of anything he quotes me on.

Here is the photo of Doug Gillett, a fan since 2002 who is 28 years young and thinks he is hot Shiite, but ain’t, from Birmingham Aladamnbama who has a blog never quoted – but, he quotes my replies on AJ-C.

What does THAT tell you?

His photo he himself put up of himself.

God that is the ugliest sonofagun I have ever laid eyes on.

He is correct in stating that he :”is a lot less attractive” on that there can be no question.

Hit with the ugly stick, apparently setting it straight that now Tommy Tuberville has been higher ranked in the Final AP Poll than The Georgia Bulldogs TWICE in 12 years.

No excuse me. He has no comment on that, other than I should not point it out. By they way his blogs are a lot longer WITH NOTHING CORRECT than mine are.

He “consumes mass quantities of alcohol and pimps” and this better than whom ?

Nice.

Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.

Those who have something to say about Georgia Bulldogs’ Football we supposedly share as a hobby, do; those who CANNOT, don’t try; but instead put fun on themselves.

Thanks for the mention, now can you provide a URL Link where YOU are quoted by ANYONE ?

Didn’t think so.

Wet behind his ears, water on his brain, and looks like Don King to me - only more ugly.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/dawgtoons/Anti-Tennessee/losing.jpg

Now, the big question is since he has been so widely discussed in here, what handle does Doug Gillett go by in this blog, any guesses since he is a wimp who sees fit to not reveal his handle in this blog he quotes my posts from?

I find no quote of his to quote to you on his WebPages URL, because he is a woman who talks about how he feels about things, instead of talking FOOTBALL which he obviously has no knowledge of.

“ I’m just rattling BuLLdawg’s cage a little and I say little because he’s posted some good stuff it’s just to long. “

You’ve post some funny stuff generally about putting down Coach Richt and every player but Matthew Stafford; and as to your worries about what I will say about Doug Gillett or his handle he refuses to divulge in here, or Stafford’s Sophomore Season being about the same 23 miscues (10 fumbles 6 lost compared to 3 TD runs) (13 interceptions compared to 7 TD passes), you now have those now too that it will be the same, but with MORE than 7 TD passes, clearly.

And, thanks for this part : “ I’m just rattling BuLLdawg’s cage a little and I say little because he’s posted some good stuff “

My posts in this blog add up to a lot fewer words than you’ve posted, only mine are not nearly as flattering and hyped about how ready Matthew Stafford remains yet. He will be, and I will be here in 2010-2011 to ask you Buch Cockran where is Matthew Stafford’s All-America Redshirt Senior 5th Year I had hoped for, swapped out instead for this crap this season of just beginning to be ready, exactly as I stated.

All-American RS Senior year, lol…if he’s as bad as you say he is, how can you honestly think he’ll be at that level? If he is that good, how do you realistically think he’s going to stick around for a 5th year when $ is calling? He might not be around after 3 in that situation, so the redshirt is meaningless. Vick was redshirted and he only played 2 years as a result. Also, when calculating TDs and turnovers for Stafford, maybe you should go back and review all film and determine how many TDs were dropped by Ware, Milner, etc. You also may want to see if the WRs dropping the balls actually tipped them for the defense to get as INTs. As for the dropped balls, how many times did that put us in 3rd and long situations where he had to make something big happen to keep a drive alive? If our receivers caught balls, would he have been in better shape with more first downs and 2nd and 3rd and short? I’m looking for someone devoid of any other outside activity like yourself to review these points and come back with factual information regarding them. I’m making a leap of faith to actually believe you’d be truthful.

Don’t have ANY, but criticize me for having revealed ALL of mine.

Yes, I thought the vols were better than Penn State. I still do.

I have no idea how the vols lead the nation in bowl losses.

Annually, I pick the vols to win and root for them, only to sit back afterwards, scratch my head with you too on that if you have revealed your choices, which you did not, and wonder how in the hell Phillip Fulmer loses every bowl game.

Pitiful.

I was wrong in thinking for one damn moment that the losingest bowl team of all 119 Division 1-A teams would not go out there and show what a horrible quarterback Ainge could be after a season of 13 games to show what Coach Fulmer had taught him.

It was a miserable performance.

You don’t have to make a leap of faith about me being truthful. I own up to my mistakes such as saying that Matthew Stafford would be redshirted, that he clearly was not ready listening to Coach Richt’s daily statements. But, he really had little choice and it good for us next season compared to Ainge of Fulmer having such a horrid end to his season.

I NEVER said Stafford was horrible only not ready and that I said from the 1st post on the topic, too bad you cannot read and are too lazy to make predictions or go to any of the substantiating URL Links given in each post by me, that ” I did NOT wish to give up Matthew Stafford’s 5th Year Redshirt Senior All-America season for a season in which he would prove Coach Richt’s statements on him were correct starting with the G-Day Game.

We are in fine shape for being ranked 11 consecutive years, beat 2 fine ball clubs in Virginia Tech and Auburn and frankly Tech was just outside the Top 25 themselves, in our last 3 games in direct contrast to how the vols’ season ended.

It was a price to pay, and looking back, I kind of like it that Stafford played. It is the best, to quote Voltaire, in this the best of all possible worlds.

Yeah, I think it is optimistic and positive about both Mike Mercer and Matthew Stafford that neither are where they need to be and continue hold their respective clubs back with their errors, miscues and misses.

Both, clearly, have potential. I have watched a lot of both in fact all I could find time to while also realizing this but my hobby UGA Sports, and that I have a primary responsibility to 43 others at work to keep them busy.

This my real calling.

I did not win the football bowl pool, but I came in behind 3 others in the money. If you knew the group, you would not consider 6-3 that bad vs. my 9-0. But, you think it cute to put down those who do have brass, because you are damn jealous you don’t.

Badger Dawg is right. Stafford wouldn’t have been here for 5yrs. He’ll go after his jr. yr. UNLESS HE PULLS A MATT LEINERT AND STAYS TO WIN A NATIONAL TITLE. HIS FAMILYS NOT POOR AND HE WON’T NEED THE MONEY SO HE CAN “AFFORD” TO STAY HE HE HAS A REASON TO.

To determine a season next year based on the last 3 games, you divide the 13 games next season by these 3 games and come to 4.3, then multiply 4.3 times his 5 fumbles and interceptions the last 3 games. This remains 21.6 miscues next season in fumbles and interceptions.

It looks silly to make excuses for that, when there are none.

These remain individual miscues

just as they do for Mike Mercer including missing his shots again yesterday both from the free throw line again and from the field along with his record-seting pace of turnovers with officially 2 more yesterday to one steal, no blocks and 2 rebounds for 7 points on having tried 10 shots at the goal.

7 TD passing 3 running while having 13 interceptions and 10 fumbles of which 6 were not fallen on by his Offensive Linemen, is a standard by which a QB is measured.

It is and will remain so.

Your QB is your leader. We have a good one, but he does have this issue of both NOT scoring TDs AND continuing to BY HIMSELF TURN THE FOOTBALL OVER.

I see his TDs getting better scoring more TDs since I find it unimaginable that he would play 13 games again next season and have to show for it 7 TD passes to the same receivers DJ Shockley threw 24 TDs to the year before this one.

That’s without discussing his 10 fumbles 6 lost compared to his 3 TD runs and compared to DJ Shockley who behind the same Offensive Line too, the year before this one, had 2 fumbles compared with DJ’s 4 TD runs.

I’d like to see Mike Mercer realize that he ain’t our best shooter, but worst.

And, would like Matthew Stafford too to realize that he is not our best runner, but worst.

As for his interceptions or dropped passes :

When you realize, and cease with the EXCUSES, that Stafford had 8 percent of his 303 plays this season in fact be either a fumble or an interception and yet only 3 percent in fact were TDs, you might want to quit looking so silly in public that he is going to win the Maxwell Award this time next season and rename it the MatthewMaxwellPunditsAward.

He has MORE WORK to do than does Mike Mercer who just needs to quit shooting.

Period.

Right now, he would not be drafted. In fact, every QB on the UGA roster alone has a far better NCAA QB Rating, and that doesn’t even take into account his SEC-Leading 10 fumbles 6 lost.

Projecting that for a guy who ran for 3 TD and threw for 7 TDs, ignoring the 10 fumbles 6 lost and 13 interceptions, and misreads defenses clearly and admits it to you, as would leave after his 3rd year in the same league competing against the same defenses that riddled him this season is just demonstration of your boy love and hype of him, because he has no hope of being mentioned right now where he is at in his development leaving this squad for the NFL after just two (2) more years.

He turns the ball over, doesn’t throw touchdowns, and you think the NFL wants that ?

Something else other than that ?

That what he has done, he will NOT ?

You said yourself that he was NOT READY this year, agreeing with me; yet you still insist that he will LEAVE AFTER TWO (2) MORE YEARS based upon what you have seen of him this year.

Of course, you said that sight unseen about him this time last year in this same blog too, so what you are doing is trying to cover your tracks and still prop him up for what he has not done instead.

How can he leave not at the end of next season, but the one after that, based on what he in fact has not done ?

Explain that ?

Based on the way his play and leadership improved, I think he’ll continue that improvement and with his natural talent be ready to go. Every player has to continue to grow and Stafford will. He’s decated to winning and getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers and that’s what the outstanding QB’s because they know that they to can make plays. IF HE DOESN’T CONTINUTE TO IMPROVE OF COURSE HE WON’T BE ABLE TO GO PRO IF HE WANTS TO. iMPROVEMENT IS A GIVEN.

Which is it ? Matthew Stafford is going to the NFL at the end of the year after this one coming up, or he has a lot of improvement he needs ?

Just when he has to do something about what he is so desperate for improvement in, namely scoring more than 10 TDs and not 23 more miscues as I calculate for him again next season instead, but with more TDs I say, you come running in here to fill his head yet again that The Bulldog Nation thinks he is just fine as he is, and will go to the NFL at the end of the year after this one coming up.

” He’ll go after his jr. yr ” to the NFL you just got out of your own two-faced mouth Buch Cockran. You just said it an hour ago, so how can you have forgotten that too in such a short period of time ?

And, Badger NON Dawg just got this out his mouth too, which you said you agree with him totally that is absolutely correct on :

” how do you realistically think he’s going to stick around for a 5th year when $ is calling? He might not be around after 3 in that situation, so the redshirt is meaningless. Vick was redshirted and he only played 2 years as a result. “

Matthew Stafford is not ready yet to be ready for our own competition with 1 TD pass each of the last 3 games and 5 turnovers.

When will you get it through your head that you cannot talk about him leaving at the end of the year after this one coming up, when he ain’t ready for our own competition yet ?

Or, are you talking out of both sides of your same one mouth saying that ” He’ll go after his jr. yr ” but that you think that I am right and that he has instead huge improvement needed before he is even ready to play our competition ?

You are both out of your ever-loving mind to be in public telling everyone who you are with your company name, e-mail address, telephone number to yourself at work, etc, and be in here in public spouting off how Matthew Stafford will be in the NFL at the end of not this season but the one after that.

That is the most preposterous BS I have ever heard.

BLOGGING—So simple a caveman could do it…

You’ve helpped many kick the dependency on pharmaceuticals in order to get a good nights rest. I personally want to thank you for your ability to help others realize that no matter how bad life has kicked them around, somebody has it worse.

Now, I’m a-fixin’ to lace up my running shoes and hit the roads for my Sunday morning jaunt. At the age of 53, running you see, is my athletic endeaver. It clears the mind and calms the soul. You should experience the feeling. It’s a simple process of which I’m thankful and grateful to be able to participate.

And in closing, I’ve read UT ranks fourth in the country in bowls attended through the many years of postseason follies. If that is a fact, statistically they’ve had more opportunities to lose more…pretty simple concept…and it bothers me not…Go Vols

Here is the reason fans have not yet started selling out the coliseum: We don’t want to get teased anymore. When Tubby got to Athens, he gave us hope, as we began to fill seats and “raise the roof”. He bolted for the better job, and deflated the program. We then got the “Jirsa” years. I put an actual last name in quotations, which better tell you something. Then Harrick ball came to Georgia and we got some amazing squads, the last one was being mentioned as a darkhorse Final Four team. We as fans were jacked… and then it imploded in the worst way.

So… now we have a coach who obviously is great, but hasn’t won the past two years, and we don’t want to go into supporting the b-ball dogs the way we used to, only to have our hopes and dreams stomped on a third time. If they get a few big road wins coming up, I promise you, stegman will start looking fuller.

Back in the day when teams played 8 or 10, 4—4 or 5—5 wasn’t good enough to be bowl eligible. A team actually had to win, place or show in their conference, or if independent, had to win and win well. Being invited to a Bowl meant that your regular season had an asterisk beside it that said ’ job well done ‘…in today’s watered down version on bowl eligibility and bowl games available, 6-6 will get a team into the postseason. Great, fine and dandy…

BuLLdawg——I hate to take a personal swipe at any AJC fan-blogger, even the more obnoxious ones, simply because the exchange thereafter descends into a t**-for-tat of personal insults, malking everyone involved appear less than gentlemanly. That having been said … .

There is a famous quote widely attributed to Winston Churchill, wherein Churchill supposedly defined the term “fanatic” as “someone who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.” Your posts brought this to mind.

While I have never met one of them, I have come to have a sense of the personalities, sensibilities and loyalties of AJC fan-quote bloggers like Cuz, War Eagle, Buck Cochran in the NW, General Neyland, gdawginkalamazoo, AltamahaDawg and many others over the last several months. Most of these guys are your fellow Dawg fans, and even the ones that aren’t Dawgs are decent guys who support their school and are relatively courteous to their fellow on-line SEC sports fans.

After all, we are talking about college sports, not war, not personal vendetta, not religious crusades. I strongly urge you to rethink your tone and approach to blogging … the fact that you seem to have alienated virtually all of the DAWG fans (your natural allies) in these AJC sports blogs speaks volumes. You seem to have become Churchill’s definition.

Seriously, fella, if you graduated at age 22 in 1977, you are way too young to harbor the kind of bitterness that you direct at your fellow Dawg fans. Time for a time-out for a little introspection before you have a heart attack over UGA QB stats.

Now, for my real reason for showing up around the UGA blog this afternoon: As I look ahead on the Gator hoops schedule, I wanted to see what the experts were saying about the Dawgs’ solid win over Vanderbilt yesterday. Alas, there are three times as many posts about ancient football bowl records and intramural Dawg sniping than there are about SEC and Dawg basketball.

You football Dawgs need to catch a clue; the Dawgs basketball team is showing signs of life again and deserves your support. Strong home fan support might be good for another 2 or 3 home wins per season, and on those margins, good programs get better. With Kentucky sinking to average, and the SEC West not nearly as tough as other recent seasons, now would be a good time for other SEC East teams to stretch their legs.

Yeah, I’m a Gators fan, but I want SEC championships to mean as much in basketball as they do in football.

BuLLdawg,

No disrespect, but please calm down. Tennessee’s All Time Bowl Record is 24-22-0; GA’s All Time Bowl record is 23-16-3. Tennessee stands at # 2 all time behind Alabama in total bowl appearances; GA stands at # 6 in total bowl appearances. Tennessee is tied for 4th in bowl wins with Oklahoma while Ga stands at 5th in bowl wins. Tennessee is tied with Texas and Nebraska with most bowl losses as well. While I agree with you about Tennessee’s abysmal bowl record under Fulmer, especially since before he became HC they had one of the best bowl records. But the personal attacks are unnecessary and uncalled for. BirdDawg why did you even get involved in this as it is between BuLLdawg, BadgerDawg, General Neyland and Buck Cochran unless you are Doug Gillet and all Buck said was “BuLLDAWG, I really don’t know who this Doug fellow is(Gillett).” If I am mistaken accept my apology as a Dawg fan we should be talking about our team and not personal attacks on each other because we have different/opposite opinions.

BuLLjoke, you’ve been exposed for your lies and you accuse me of not making similar predictions. Well, if that is the case I don’t have anything to hide from, and being wrong is OK, but lying about it is not. You predicted 9-0 for the SEC, then you say everyone knew Fulmer would lose this one. That is inconsistent. Wrong is OK, lying is not, you thought the Vawls would win as evidenced by your 9-0 SEC prediction. Also, I said on here in the midst of your SEC kool-aid 9-0 prediction that Wisonsin and/or PSU would win. It turned out I was correct as they both did win, and I don’t recall you having anything to say about it after it happened. I also predicted UF would get stomped by the OSU, obviously that was incorrect but I’m not going to pull a BuLLjoke and pretend I knew it would happen the other way.

BuLLjoke, my comment on Stafford is that IF he is good enough to be an All-American, you don’t have to worry about him wasting an extra year in Athens when he could earn $ in the pros. You’re pretending he single handedly cost the Dawgs every game they lost this year, but that he’s magically going to be the best player in the country four years from now. If he’s still around in four years, it’s because he’s NOT the best player in the country. No one with a brain stays in school five years and turns down first round money.

Also, the same receiving corps? Does the name Bailey ring a bell? Oh yeah, he probably has the best hand on the team and wasn’t there this year. I’m sure that was a simple oversight on your part and not that you’re attempting to distort reality as usual. Also, when did MoMass forget how to catch? Is that Stafford’s fault, too? Hopefully, it was just a soph jinx and he’ll be back next year, but he was subpar this year after looking very good last year.

BD. was a Joe T fan and said that no true freshman should play and he would be Red Shirted. I don’t say this often but I was dead right and he was dead wrong. We’re talking back and forth all summer and right through fall camp and time after time I was right on and he was right OFF!! So that’s where he’s coming from.

Hoops always has to wait until football season is over. If they win, the students and fans will show up. Getting jilted by Tubby, Jirsa’s mess, and then Harrick has made people a little jaded. If this coach is the real thing, the admin better step up and get plans on a new facility, contractm marketing etc… or he will leave as well. We have to show a committment to winning AND make sure coaches view Athens as a destination instead of a stepping stone. If not he’s gone and the fans will bail out again.

I’m one of those UGA fan’s that supported the major sports while attending school in Athens (Football, men’s basketball and baseball). It seems we got better fan support in men’s basketball under Hugh Durham than under Dennis Felton and I consider Felton a better coach. I consider fan support hitting its apex when Tubby Smith was at the helm and it was disheartening to see him depart for KY. I STILL feel he was better off staying in because he was building something special, we even called Stegman “The Tub.” We consistently had good attendance once our program got off the ground floor and had excellent recruiting, then came Jirsa…
Unfortunately for me, I cannot make the weekday games due to my demanding work schedule and two year old but it is disheartening as a diehard Dawg fan to turn on a radio and hear crickets chirping in the background canceling out Scott Howard’s excitement. Lets get behind the roundball Dawgs, this could turn out to be a special season with the SEC being so strong and where every team top to bottom in the East is a challenge. I’ll be there for the UGA / AU game. Go Dawgs!
