You made the point Chip! It is tough getting out of work and driving down to Athens during the week to catch the games. I love the fans that make it down there but it is really about student support. It’s hard to believe we don’t have more students at the games. The students can make the difference with the atmosphere. I really believe though the steg is going to start filling up and after the practice facility is done the UGA leaders need to build a state of the art indoor practise facility and renovate the steg. Actually redo the whole steg.

Chip, work prevents me from getting up to Athens for even a 7pm game during the week. But I’ll be up there for the LSU game during the weekend.

As long as Felton keeps complaining about officiating, the fans won’t show. How many complaints have you heard from the other SEC coaches? Winning, not complaining, is how UGA can fill the coliseum.

When the Dawgs drop Marathon Oil from the schedule and start adding big name teams to come to Athens, then people will come and see them play. Bring in the big boys if you want to bring fans into the giant golfball….I mean, the coliseum. Why can’t we play A-list teams like Georgetown, UCLA or the Kansas’s of the world???? Nobody wants to go see the Dawgs play Emanuel or Kennesaw.

They have a top 40 RPI which is one of the tops in the SEC. This team has potential…let’s pack out the Steg.

Chip you are correct the fans will show when we become consistant winners. Also I think a student named Matthew complained there was only one ticket booth for students, this needs to be corrected immediately to get more of the student body at the games making more noise for our Dawgs. Felton is a good coach and it is obvious to me he has our team on the right track, I believe we need to be patient and supportive of him. Go Dawgs

Finally talked to Boudreaux (little earlier) and he said it was NOT true that Tom Lopes (the head ref for the Bama game) had been taken off Georgia games. Said there could indeed be some action taken but if there is it would be internal and there won’t be any public knowledge of it. A story should be up on the website soon. Don’t know about y’all but I’m ready to be done with it.

Big Dawg,

Thanks for reminding me. I checked on that report that only one ticket booth is open for students before games and UGA disputes that. They said there are two booths are open and dedicated only to students. Besides that, UGA says students are offered the opportunity to buy season tickets (for next to nothing) at the beginning of the season and at places around campus the day before games and at the Coliseum hours before games. I’ll make a point to go by there before teh Kentucky game to get a look for myself.

If y’all will pardon the joke, the hoops Dawgs should not have to beg for the scraps of fan support, especially when they are as competitive against other quality teams as they appear to be. I’ve made the point before, but ferocious fan support would be good for another 2 to 3 home wins per season.

By Daniel

January 23, 2007 08:37 PM | Link to this

I believe that the lack of fan support is for reasons much larger than just that the team has not been winning recently. About a decade ago, after the MLB strike ended, baseball had to wait a few years before it got most of its support back. I believe this is similar to the UGA basketball program recovering from the Harrick issues. UGA had one of its best teams in a couple of decades and the Athletic Department threw it all away by pulling out of all post-season play before the full extent of the issues were known and made the molehill into a mountain. This completely soured me. My first two years at UGA were the last two years of Harrick. I loved the basketball team and went to as many home games as I could. I watched or listened to the road games. Even though UGA is and always will be a football school, there was an excitement among most all of the students and Athens during Spring Semester because of the men’s B-Ball team.

Unfortunately, since the whole Tony Cole debacle, no one has really been excited about the basketball team at all. During my final two years there, I went to half of one game and couldn’t be excited about being there and left before it was over. It wasn’t because UGA had a irrelevant team (they came very close to making the NCAA tournament during Felton’s first year), it was just that I was so disgusted with what had gone on. I don’t think I was alone in my disgust because no one on campus seemed to care about the team and no one in town seemed to care about the team.

I still live in Athens and am a College BBall fan and a huge UGA football fan, but I couldn’t care less about UGA basketball and it will take me a while until I get over my disappointment with what on during the Spring of ‘03. Hopefully some day I will come back to being a fan of the team, but I’m not sure.

I care about Georgia basketball and will be at the Kentucky game. I also went to the Wisconsin and Vanderbilt games. With that being said, I am reluctant to get too emotionally invested in it because of games like Saturday vs. Alabama. Yes the refs were awful but you’ve got to be good enough to win games like that for fans to totally sell their soul. Many of us are afraid to hang our hats on UGA basketball because we have been disappointed so many times. Arkansas win in one game and the Alabama loss the next, both close games. We need to forget the Harrick issue. That’s old news that should not effect attendance now.

I am a student at UGA and I can vouch that there was only ONE student window open for the last few home games, and the line was horribly long. It was a huge issue in the Red and Black, and the Athletic Association did not respond. This is also what happens at alot of Gymnastics meets and is extremely irritating! Sure, they do offer season tickets for next to nothing, but as a busy student, as I am sure many others are, it is much easier to buy tickets for the games I want to attend and am not working/studying that night, than to buy an entire package of all games. With the debacle regarding student ticket pickup this football season, the Athletic Association has made it very clear that the students are not as important as the alumni base. This is a very common feeling among students on campus as many feel “second class” when it comes to athletic events. What better way to ensure that we students becoming contributing wealthy alumni than to treat us a little better? Also, it is the students who are more often the ones yelling and screaming and painting our bodies, hair, etc, creating the very electric environment that Felton wants, so I think a huge solution to the problem is to make it easier for students to get tickets, and to treat us with respect, and Stegeman will be rockin’.

Felton’s call about how he handled the Ref compiant is his call. I dodn’t know if it was a smart move or not. This is one of those “all over the landscape, IMO deals”. He’s the coachand he made his call. Now we play ball and I do hope the the place is packed with people decked out in their craiest R & B attire and going crazy!! If people haven;t done so already, they should now drop anything to do with Harrick from their vocabulary. In todays world 4 yrs. ago is history and Felton has led us throught the problems with lack of players and we’re rebuilding. One day, it’ll make a great “Rudy” type of movie with our opening the doors for on campus tryouts, some who played,those who didn’t and then the recruiting of SEC type players. It’s going to be a great story line one day so I’m hoping we are “ROCKIN & ROLLIN” Wed night. Those of you who can go, do it and if any of you are to old to be bothered by the noise, give you tickets to a student!!

Georgia has too many turnovers and misses too many free throws along with having the worst shooter as the announcer pointed out in the loss to Bama, having read my blogs, take more than twice as many shots as any other player on the team. Distance is a cop out since clearly we sold out the lady ‘Dawgs last game. It is just frustrating to see a team have so many turnovers and make so few free throws.

And, of course in the last 2 minutes - as you reported yourself just as the game ended Chip - our leading scorer missed a free throw and then had a turnover which is where the game was lost, not on an official’s call.

So, which is it Chip ? The Official cost us the game, or as you stated for all to read and even you to remember after the game in your report of the game “it was not an official call that cost Georgia the game, that was not where the game was lost” I remain, then confused.

Now, Missouri State was 2-8 in 2006-2007 season; but Michael Cooper led the team in rushing with 482 yards and added in another 109 yard receiving, and was 3rd on the team in scoring while only missing one game all season due to health.

http://www.missouristatebears.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=59345&SPID=6495&DBOEMID=13800&ATCLID=697529

Michael Cooper had a good college career. Coooooooop, out of Screven High School in Sylvania Georgia, 6’ 1” 240 lbs., Coooooooop was born in Statesboro in 1984 and graduated with a degree in criminology after his career ends at Missouri State Bears of the Sunbelt Conference, having left Georgia prior to the 2005-2006 season after being a crowd favorite here and leading The Georgia Bulldogs in rushing in 2003 with 673 yards and 6 touchdowns. Michael Cooper is a fine looking young man whom you just have to be proud of for what he has accomplished already in his young life. After the 2003 season, you recall, he was diagnosed as having sickle cell gene trait and played in but 4 games in the 2004 season with us.

http://www.missouristatebears.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=59343&SPID=6495&DBOEMID=13800&ATCLID=707017&Q_SEASON=2006

We don’t have much representation for a change in the Super Bowl coming up, with reserve Tim Jennings on Indianapolis Colts, who are favored to win, as he played in 11 games his rookie season after graduating from Georgia last year, recruited here out of South Carolina.

The Georgia Bulldogs had 30 take-a-ways this 2006-2007 season, but managed to have more fumbles and interceptions than all but seven (7) teams in America.

http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2006&div=4&rpt=IA_teamturnovermrgn&site=org

It was the State of the Union Address for The Georgia Bulldogs this season, now thankfully over.

Total Offense, Georgia ended Number 90 in the Nation.

Total Defense, Georgia ended Number 8 in the Nation.

Yeah, poor job by Willie Martinez with the Number 8 Total Defense and only 9 teams in the Nation who gained more Turnovers than our Defense with 30 turnovers gained.

Of course it was instead the Offense that struggled this entire last season. And, where they struggled was in turning the ball over.

Just imagine that a team which found but 9 other teams in all of America of 119 Division 1-A teams who gained more turnovers with their Defense, in fact found but 7 teams in all of America who gave up more fumbles and interceptions lost.

It is a sad state of affairs, for certain.

And, pinpoints the problem

Matthew Stafford in Passing Efficiency Rate is Number 86 in the nation.

Every QB on The Georgia Roster had a higher Passing Efficiency Rating than he, so it is not the fault of the offensive line or receivers that he himself was the dead last worst on The Georgia team in Passing Efficiency Rating.

He just did the worst.

2.73 Touchdown percentage of Matthew Stafford finds only 6 others in all of America, worse than he.

5.08 Interception percentage of Matthew Stafford finds only 6 others in all of America, worse than he.

Drew Butler, Kevin’s son, is the 23 commitment to UGA this recruiting season, and the ONLY 1 COMMIT since 10 December Scott Haverkamp Offensive Guard. Drew is a fine punter already averaging over 40 yards per punt, obviously better than Gordon Ely-Kelso who ended his career a disappointment.

Georgia, as a result, has dropped to 14th in the Scout.com Rankings of Recruiting this season, down about as poor but not quite as bad as Michigan, Ohio State and Virginia Tech for the dead last worst recruiting season for Coach Richt ever.

http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=135&p=9&c=14&yr=2007

It is a good class, and like he had done a 3 years ago, has several at every position again for a change with his recent recruiting; and it includes quite a cache of Offensive Linemen, most of whom feel that they will step right in and start.

Rivals has Georgia Ranked Number 8 in Recruiting, and both Rivals and Scout.com have Florida clearly Number 1 in both.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is Dale Earnhardt’s son but not Teresa Earnhardt’s. Teresa is still grieving over her late husband’s death on the final lap of the Daytona 500 in 2001, where Dale was blocking for DEI drivers ahead of him to win, costing his life. It was what Dale Senior did. Kevin Harvick, driver, ripped Teresa for not being there at trackside for any of the races ever since and Dale Jr. has also ripped Teresa for his relationship with his stepmother Teresa as not a bed of roses and continued in the last 2 weeks that Teresa’s management style and acrimonious public attitude toward her stepson would figure greatly in Dale Jr.’s decision to even resign with his Dad’s Company Dale Earnhardt Enterprises Inc. Dale Jr. is not the driver his Dad was because 1 he doesn’t go into the pits every opportunity and get tires on every caution as did his Dad, and 2 because he is not as Intimidating on the Track bumping and grinding every driver who ever challenged him in any race anywhere. DEI has not been a factor whatsoever with Teresa Earnhardt at the helm, and I am certain that she would like nothing more than to be able to push Dale Jr. out of the company totally while obviously Dale Earnhardt Jr. took over as NASCAR’s Top 3 personality in the sport today. Teresa is not a race car driver and knows nothing about what the drivers need, nor does she address any 1 issue after any 1 race and work to improve that. She is what she is, and not popular with anyone anywhere pretty much describes it. Thank you Kevin Harvick for saying it. What did you expect Dale Jr. to say in response that he disagrees that Teresa is not there at any race and does not do a thing ever to address any on or off track issue ? Where is Teresa’s response ? She doesn’t have to have one any more than Michael Vick or Rich McKay on HiddenBottleCompartmentGate.

Georgia Bulldogs are Preseason Scout.com Ranked Number 12 Nationally to begin next season 2007-2008.

Half of the SEC is ranked in the Top teams in the nation by Scout.com preseason for next year, 6 of the Top 16 with Tennessee the worse ranked Ranked Team of the SEC next season and Auburn at Number 14 is also ranked worse than Georgia again. South Carolina, even without Sidney Rice, and Georgia both should be better than Auburn and Tennessee. Auburn, despite keeping their OL line coach, just had a bad year this past season and figure to do well worse this upcoming season for an offense led by Brandon Cox who sucked. Tennessee, despite keeping their Offensive Coach this off-season at least, found Eric Ainge finding all his targets underneath go for long yardage after the catch all gone and their wins over California and Georgia are not nearly as impressive as Georgia’s over Auburn last season and Virginia Tech. The SEC remained King of College Football and obviously are poised for yet another year of having the vast majority of its teams ranked and beating top-ranked teams, unlike every other conference – who did not.

http://cfn.scout.com/2/611793.html

Scout.com begins their review about as many others obviously will :

“ Matthew Stafford wasn’t always sharp and wasn’t always amazing in his true freshman year, but he certainly showed splashes of being a next-level type of passer. He’s a special player with a fantastic group of running backs to help balance things out. “

Georgia ended Number 23 – ahead of Penn State and Tennessee vols - in the Final AP Poll for 2006-2007 and of course is the **only Division 1-A Football Program in America ranked for the last entire decade in the only AP Poll published for any season, the Final one.

Every coach files complaints to the SEC about officiating at some point. Bruce Pearl here in TN has complained many times this season and has become a notorious complainer among officiating crews.

Chip, the night of the South Carolina game, there was ONE BOOTH open for student tickets. ONE. There were two windows in that booth, but that did nothing to aleviate the humongous line of students that turned away many, many students. And that is ONE BOOTH out of either 6 or 8. And at the other booths, there we no lines.

So, if the University now decides to now open a second booth for students, that should do a lot to aleviate the long lines. As for being able to buy tickets at the Bookstore, I was not aware of that before the SC game, which was my first game ever (this being my first semester at UGA). So, while I made sure to take advantage of that today, and will do so for the rest of the season.

So Chip, I wasn’t fibbing. I told you exactly what happened for the SC game. One booth, two huge lines of students, and either 5 or 7 booths with no lines whatsoever. I don’t want you to think you looked something up for me on a lark. That’s what really happened. And I talked to many students in line, and they said it was like this last year. So maybe the University has decided to reverse the trend. I’ll take a walk around the Stegesaurus tonight, and see. But I wonder if they told you two booths, but meant two WINDOWS. If that is what they meant to say, then the situation is still untennable.

Once again, it makes no sense to have one booth for students only, and not let students buy tickets anywhere else right before the game, while there are plenty of booths not doing any business at all. That’s the point I was trying to make. And that’s what I said to one of the ladies manning a booth doing no business. Bureaucracy trumps everything, I suppose. Even common sense, which unfortunately, is not very common at all.

And as far a season tickets go, Chip and Altamaha, for a very, very poor college student struggling to make rent right now, it’s easier to pay for tickets on an individual basis than buy a season’s worth of tickets, even if they are “giving them away.” Paycheck to paycheck with nothing in savings. You guys can remember that, right? I still have books to buy.

Anyway, so everyone who can, come out to the Stegesaurus tonight! They open the doors at 1730 for a 1900 tipoff! Come out early, make some noise. Get Felton’s scrappy team pumped up before the game. The student seats are selling fast, but we need alumni there who aren’t going to sit on their wrinkled butts to make some noise! Let’s shame the old, grey-haired alumni into giving a crap about what’s going on on the court! Let’s get out there and make some noise, and see these guys neuter the Mildcats!

GO DAWGS!!!

Just thought about this from a couple of months ago. Not trying to stir things here, just reporting what I heard from a very credible source. There is tension between Felton and Richt over Walter Hill. From what I heard, Felton called Hill’s basketball coach and was screaming about Hill changing to a football commit which means that he will miss almost half of the basketball season. Evidently Felton was not notified by Richt, and was going to have a word with Damon Evans about it (should have happened already). Suppossedly Bobo was the one that was so high on Hill and persuaded Richt to move in on him. Although Bobo wanted Hill at quarterback.

Just picking on you a bit. I/we knew you werent making up the ticket booth situation. (although I do still think the the Adams conspiracy theory is starting to get a bit overplayed at times now). It does seem in today’s world it would not be that difficult to sell a ticket at any booth and code it properly. Seems every theme park and movie theatre in the world has figured out something that they havent. Bookstore advanced tickets seems like it would work best, pity they dont tell anyone about that. Still , You would think you could walk up to the actual event and have the folks who were selling the product, make it easier for you to purchase it. I also have NO doubt that the ticket office and distribution was not fully thought out. Check with an Alum or two to find out we often scratch our heads as well. Unfortunetely you will find similar situations in general as you leave the hallowed halls of UGA.

I cannot go, so I would like to ask you to get one more student to go in my place.

The true measuring stick of a good team is how well do you respond to adversity. Did the refs miss some calls at the end-ABSOLUTELY but you just have to accept it and move on. As previous bloggers have stated we should not have been in that situation in the first place but these things have a tendency to even out over the course of the season. Just look how we beat Arkansas at the buzzer after it appeared we were dead in the water prior to making some clutch three pointers at the end. And conversely look how Alabama got rolled at Auburn after it appeared they had righted their ship after they beat us prior to getting beat down by Arkansas and Vandy. The SEC is a tough league and one needs no further proof than to look at what has happened in league play over the past week.
