Without a doubt, Matt Stafford would say, thank God for the big linemen; time to throw the ball. Otherwise, UGA looks ok on offense and defense. The underclassmen will be a year older and that makes a Hugh difference in their play. We will contend for the SEC title this coming year….and should win it.

i think atleast 3 of the freshman oline will contribute, most likely anderson, sturdivent, littleor maybe strickland. i also think troupe and king will play offensively if they both end up on campus. And on defense i think bith jucos will contribute and the freshman with the most potentiol to contribute this year is curren, all other freshman have a ways to go before being in a position to contribute.

I have to agree that the JUCO’s all start or get significant playing time. Other than that you have to see who produces in practice. I think best possibilities to see the field are Troupe, White, and maybe Knox. I beleive playing a kid for the sake of playing him might be worth while if the recruits are genuinly going elsewhere bc of this reason. I don’t won’t to loss a kid to UF, AU ect. because he thinks he will not see the feild his freshman year. It’s to bad really that these kids are that immature, but they are kids. However, I don’t mind passing on kids who will likely be a loud mouth, selfish, non team player even if they have 5 stars. Those kids actually do more harm than good.

I would argue against Curren seeing the field because of the linebacker group that came in the 2006 class. With Miller staying at linebacker, Washington returning, plus Hebron, Dent and Dewberry, where is Curren going to fit in? I would agree with all the jucos seeing the field plus Anderson and Sturdivent and Troupe, if he doesn’t play baseball.

Unfortunately, these young guys coming right out of HS want to play right away and that is normal. However, if they want to get to the NFL drafted in a lower round, the more experience should make them a better athlete and should allow them to demand more money. Think of what an additional signing bonus of 100 thousand coupled with an extra 2-500 thousand a year will amount to over a 10 year career for the better athlete. Patience, patience, patience. These kids, understandably, don’t stop to figure things like this out. They want the money, big cars, etc. ASAP. Therefore, if they will understand what redshirting can do for many, then they might do some long term thinking. Would I rather have a Ford today, or wait a year and get a Cadillac? Then get another new Cadillac the next year as well!

We need a basis from which to start the conversation so let’s start with a false one. Lets pretend that all of the signees will stay their full term. Chip you used a key word in talking about “RS” in today’s game. ROTATION. I’m not looking at playing freshmen that way. That is what we used to do. Let’s even leave the Reptiles out of this even though they play a lot of freshmen. Question is , does King have to know the whole “O” to be productive? I say no. a package of plays where he’s involved as a decoy or ball carrier get’s his speed and shifty feet on the field. Aron White. He has a reputation as a guy that catches the ball. Does CMR have to make a choice between putting Ward on the bench and playing White? No he doesn’t. We could have a 4 or 5 receiver set with A. white sitting there in the slot. Throw to him or not, he learns to block or catch passes and doesn’t have to be in a “rotation” to be useful in his 1st season. I agree with the linemen named above as guys who can help some their 1st year. If Troup and King make campus, I can see them both being used in certain situations on a series of plays. Was it Evens and Allen who played this season? What do we have with those two. True Sophs. who been on the field of battle and have winter, spring and summer to pick up the stuff they would have learned as “RS”. “RS” may know a system better, have bulked up and be ready to play but the fact remains they are still brand new where as the true freshmen who have been on the field have all of that PLUS they’ve been harden in battle. BTW, you’re closer to the scene than I am, but I’ve never heard CMR talk that way about a freshman class before. I think it’s a change of attitude on his part. he’s saying not, you’re going to be “RS” but you’ll have a chance to play if you’re good enough and I think he’s looking for way to use some of the kids in their 1st year that he hasn’t before. Out of a class of 23 I think we signed 5 JuCO players leaving 18 TF. I can see as many as 7-8 playing. 3-4 “OL”, 1 LB and 3- skill players. Notice the big difference in what I’m saying. I don’t think they have to “break into the line up” in order to use in a very constructive. BTW, Logan gray can catch, run and throw. I know he’s skinny and needs that weight room but I wouldn’t preclude his not being used in some wasy in ‘07.

By Big Dawg

IMO the true Freshmen that have a chance to play right away are Justin Anderson, Aron White, Walter Hill and Caleb King (if he makes it into school). Charles White, Rennie Curran, Vance Cuff and John Knox should see playing time on special teams.

By dallas

February 13, 2007 05:10 PM | Link to this

the only reason i think curren might play is because the lack of experiance, miller had an off year, washington is coming off an injury, dewberry had limited play on defense and hebron, dent and gamble all 3 redshirted last year and have yet to see the field and curren went to a big time program at brookwood where he played against all that gwinnett talent. but the wild card at linebacker is ellerbe, when he isnt hurt or in trouble he hasnt looked bad and he looks pretty quick on the field, so if he is on the field he could be a major contributor.

By Bryan G.

I would guess Troupe and King would have the best chance to play. Assuming King gets in, he might get reps…especially if Thomas Brown can’t play early or at all next year.

By 2N4YEARS

I think Walter Hill (WR) will play. He’s gor great hands & he’s 6’4” 205. He’s also got good speed. Provided Caleb gets in, I think he’ll be used sparingly. He won’t know the system, but I still think he has a 50/50 shot at getting some reps. Israel Troupe I think will also play. I think they’ll play him a)because he could be a difference maker and b) so he won’t leave for baseball. Why would he stay to sit on the sidelines when he could be making good money in baseball?. Vince Vance, Scott Haverkamp & at least 2 other OL will get playing time, along w/ at least 1 new DE.

By IraqDawg

February 13, 2007 05:37 PM | Link to this

Richt’s gonna want to get the OL as much experiance as possible. Look for Rennie Curran to get some PT. I’d RS King, simply because you have 2 seniors in Kregg and TB as well as Moreno, who’s suspose to be the real deal. Save King for a year then turn him loose with Moreno next year when UGA should be in position to challange for the NC. More time to focus on academics probally wouldn’t hurt caleb either.

By AltamahaDawg

February 13, 2007 06:10 PM | Link to this

The entire problem with the argument is that while there might be selective classes that are exceptional, or there are extenuating circumstances like UF, the very basic rules of RS will always apply.

Buck you say leave Florida out NOW, but thats the prime example that you have been offering up for 6 months now, but as my posted UM quote says, paraphrasing now “you should not have to do what UF did, you should do exactly waht UGA did last year”. Now is he or is he not IYO out to change change the nature of RS? As I recall you said RS as we know is a thing of a past as these several programs (uf, USC, TX)are proving,, non of which seems to be factual, unless i am completely missing something. In fact UM himself says not. Do you know something he does not, as to what he is doing down there?

Also it a simple matter of numbers. You simply cannot continue to place freshmen in the mix without displacing upperclassmen at some point. At some point the depth chart fills out and they just dont have any place to put them. UNLESS, your freshman class is remarkable better then any seasoned players already there, and thats the case each and every year to infinity, OR you think that players regress as time goes on. I dont think thats realistic. Does anyone else see the mathematical, and logistical problem here? You can argue all you want about this guy or that guy but those are EXCEPTIONS, just like 25 yrs ago, just like 25 yrs from now.

IMO, WE have extenuating circumstanses next year as well. I just hope if we do play a few more newbies next year, we dont have folks predicting how that means the UGA program and college football will be changed forever.

Jarius Wynn will be asked to step in right away and contribute. Rennie Curran will probably see the field and establish himself as the future. He is a good looking young player. Troupe should be worked in to the receiver rotation. Besides the OL signees, I don’t see many other guys stepping in and playing much. I think alot of the guys need to get to Athens, experience the change in game speed, and slowly be worked into the plan. I really want to see what Charles White can do. He might be a sleeper.

Why is CMR system so hard to digest, Steve Spurrier switched a DB to QB during the season and the offense worked better, why is CMR offense so complicated for a offense that doesn’t rank at the top of SEC scoring every year? I say CMR needs to do as Florida does and let all the freshmen get their feet wet, unless they are not physically able to play. A freshman is no longer a freshman 3 or 4 games into the season.

Altamaha, I have talked about the programs you’ve mentioned but I don’t have to include UF. You said I was wrong about USC. and someone else. I asked you to show where they weren’t playing a lot of freshmen because you said they didn’t do that very mu8ch or something very simliar. You never asnwered. Now today, I said exclude the Reptiles because they played so0 many freshmen last season and he’s said, according to other Reptiles that he won’t stop if a kid can help in his Freshman yr. I said that “RE” as we knew it in the past is going away and I also said in the same sentence that NO, EVERY FRESHMEN WASN’T GOING TO PLAY

HIT THE POST BUTTON AND DIDN’T MEAN TO…..I asked a simple question and you seem to be bent out of shape. I asked has anyone ever heard CMR make the statem,ent he was quoted by Carter as saying he wasn’t planning on “RS” anybody and he’s telling them to be ready to play”. Do I think that he going to RE everybody. I’ve never said that but the whole attitude is changing. The aproach nation wide is if we can use them in some way in their Freshman yr. we will. I’m saying I think 8-9 will see action and I’m not including JUCO’s. I also think your displacement arguement is dead wrong. That could only happen if Freshman were in the rotation and putting Sr’s on the bench and I’m not saying that at all. Any of, maybe a 1000 disagree with what I’m saying but am I making it clear what I have to say. Altahama must not think so.

Why would we play Troupe when we have Mo Mass, AJ Bryant, Sean Bailey(who is returning from that injury in ‘05), Kris Durham(best hands on the team), Mike Moore, and Mikey Henderson(who should get the ball a lot than he actually does) all returning next year. Troupe didnt even play organized football till high school. I say redshirt and let him learn the system. The only spot I see him getting playing time is at punt or kick returner. No reason to play Curran either with Miller moving to mike linebacker, ellerbe returning as an outside linebacker, and Dew, dent, hebron, or marcus washington rotating or getting significant playing time. All the JUCO players will start or get playing time. I think Jarvius Wynn may start at DE but dont count out Demarcus Dobbs or Brandon Wood (both were redshirted last year). Dobbs is the real deal. Come to think of it…we dont even need any of those skill guys as returners when we got Mikey and Thomas Flowers coming back.

Buck actually if you look at the last 2 post i did answer. twive. UCS roster on the internet. As far as UM I can only go from actual quote from the man and not what somebody said he said.

John, UGA offence has been eieth top or right up there in most offensive categories, except last year, since he came to town. Why is there a question about how complicated it is anyway. Where did that come from. Is it your point Spurrier could switch any DB to QB at any time and this offences were NOT complicated? and how does complicated offence figure into RS freshmen?

As I posted yesterday, from the head coach at FL himself, they would never have played that many freshman last year if they didn’t have a problems from transitions, situation, issues from the previous year. Lets see how many freshman Urban Meyers plays when he assembles a deep group of upperclass men that he actually recuited. Obviously a new coach comming into rebuild a program and certainly if he landed one of the top ranked classes, would tend to use younger guys his first couple of years. How about we ask Urban Meyers if he really would prefer to use those dozen freshmen or so, most of who played in supporting roles, rather that let some of his (future) senior play. Keep in mind this second year at UF already tied for his longest tenure at his last 2 jobs. he never had upperclassmen that he didn’t inherite.

I’m going to leave it alone, as I am seriosly beating a dead horse here, with this question. I assume that the entire reason to play true freshmen (other than those that trully are special) would be to advance them to be more capable in thier later years. Why then would you displace those very same advanced player (when that was the goal) with less capable younger guys in the following years?

Da Coach, I see your point with all of the returning talent, but it’s not like we have all solid recievers. Maybe having a true freshman pushing them at practice will make them more inclined to catch passes. Maybe our teams problems have been from guys getting to play because they’re upper classmen. Letting the youth get in there could motivate the older guys to step it up so they keep their spots.

it would definately be ideal to RS any freshman that isnt gonna contribute immediately , but sometimes you have to play freshman to be more “popular” to the recruits. And unfortunately the only way to attract some of the 5 star players is to play other freshman to show them that youre willing to play freshman. and to win NC you have to have the 5 star players.

IMO of the JUCO’s who will start are Vince Vance and Jarius Wynn, Corvey Irvin and Scott Havercamp will get extensive playing time as well. As for starting DE’s look for Wynn and Kiante Tripp to start with Dobbs, Woods, Lemon and Atkins getting PT. As for starting OL, Josh Davis and Vince Vance at tackle, Justin Anderson and Fernando Velasco at guard and Watts or Adams at Center. For several years we have been missing that player or players that could take it to the house anytime they touch the ball, well fellow Dawgs we have several of those guys in Moreno, King, Wilson and Troupe.

Altahama, I said top leave the Reptiles out it so we could look across the country. I don’t need any defense machanism against you or anybody else. Your numbers don’t work if we talk about using Freshman the way I am. If we refer to the old way, they work. I’m not counting the JUCO’s because even though it hasn’t been SEC FB, they’ve played at a higher level. than kids straight out of HS. Just to make sure I just called Reptile relative in J’ville. He had read UM quote 2 or 3 days after signing day. I asked remember did you tell that UM was going to keep on playing Freshmen. answer: yes ;question where did you see or hear that from himk. answer: i read it in the gainsville sun. So he has been asked and answered. Not to me but to a news paper.

Coach Urban Meyers quote “In reality, I don’t see Texas and probably (Southern California) playing that many freshmen at this point, and maybe Ohio State,” Meyer said. “You shouldn’t have to do that (play a lot of freshmen). We’ve had a lot of transition, we’ve had issues, we’ve had things happen. You should play five or six premier players (freshmen) and get them involved.”

Chip this is a good discussion. Good valid points by everybody.

Remember guys, there are 12 games. In my humble opinion I think it’s important we play some of these young frosh coming in. Few series at the time or sub in when the one’s/two’s gets banged up. We had too many guys went down w/pulled hammies. I hardly ever saw Darius Dewberry play. He had hammie prob all year seems like. I think Rennie will contribute on special teams/some on defense. Btw, I met the young man last summer. He’s a very humble nice kid.

Sturdivant has shoulder surgery, not sure if he’ll recover quickly. Justin Anderson should play significant amount.

Forget about Logan Gray playing. He’s redshirting.. period.

NaDarius Ward.. not sure about him. He got his butt whooped by bigbully. He found out real quick then, he wasn’t quite ready. But, I’ll look for him to manned his position.. he’ll have to beat out Chandler though. Tripp is a good catcher but needs to improve his blocking. We go w/two TE sets often on short yardage anyway, so, that’s adding more weapons on a jumbo formation.

Red shirt Caleb?.. nah brah.. you have to play a guy like that. I’m almost certain he’ll be a third down back in his frosh year, ‘till Kregg/Brown leave. According to his bro, he said, he’ll be with the team in June. I hope so.

Stafford will have plenty of playmakers to share the candy with. He’ll figure out how to find some M&Ms… MisMatches.

I really think we’re better off redshirting King until TB and Kregg are gone. If Moreno is what everyone says he is, that would give us 3 backs ready to play, plus King. I just don’t see the point of having that many backs when you could save a year of eligibiliy for King.

IraqDawg, we have a big question mark with Brown. Every player is different but remember that it took Lumpkin ove a year to begin to really get back to playing up to potential. That’s one reason why I can see Lumpkin and Moreno playing plus using King in special situations. Of course he has to make his grades and get on campus 1st.

Which 2007 signees do you think will have the biggest impact next season?

I agree that Vince Vance and Scott Haverkamp end up starting on the offensive line. Also believe that Justin Anderson has a good shot on the OL. Jarius Wynn and Corvey Irvin are also good bets to receive plenty of playing time on defense. As JUCOs they have to come in ready, there is not much time.

Does Caleb King break into the tailback rotation? Maybe at Hargraves.

How about Rennie Curran at linebacker? He is way undersized to do anything but redshirt. He would be a bowling pin at his current size.

Aron White at tight end? At 215 pounds, are you kidding? He will redshirt and then sit for another year. We won’t be seeing him until 2009.

Does Israel Troupe forego baseball and catch passes next season? No way.

To really look for new faces in 2007, you must look at the talent which was redshirted or played sparingly last year - - and it is formidable! Reshad Jones DB, Akeem Hebron LB, Justin Anderson OL, Knowshon Moreno RB, Kiante Tripp OL, NaDerris Ward TE, Brandon Wood DE, Geno Atkins DE, Quintin Banks DB, Akeem Dent LB, Tony Wilson ??. These guys all have the ability to become stars!!! GO DAWGS!!!

Some of you people continue to look to 2008 as the year we contend for the MNC based on our talent and experience that year. Might be a reasonable conclusion if it weren’t for a RIDICULOUS schedule that year. At Ariz State, Auburn, UF in Jax, a vastly improving UK and South Carolina. Home Games with UT, LSU, Bama and GT. That’s 8 or 9 all-out wars. No team in the country who run through that gauntlet without at least one or two losses, probably more.

Which signees will make impact?

To answer your question: NONE. UGA will continue to bark about recruiting, with nothing to show for it. All we hear about is Matthew Stafford, Rivals.Com and Scout.com, but no serious runs at a BCS title nor any winning consistency.

UF will continue to dominate your program, because they can: 1) recruit; 2) improve the talent they recruit; and 3) outcoach UGA in any given day. This is the reason Florida continues the streak, and won a national title this year.

One note about Florida fans: when they suck, they admit it. When UGA sucks, everyone is in denial and looking for lame excuses, and typically pointing the finger at other programs (i.e. GT, which is a weak argument.

Sure you own GT and beat them like a drum for the past 6 years straight, but set higher goals. Shoot for USC, OU, OSU of even try to beat Florida, then you can talk smack. You made some improvement by opening with OSU this year, but again at home.

Open with ND or Miami on the road. Until UGA can win the big ones on the road, you will be mediorce, but what else is new. Denial in Athens, serious Denial.

The first step for UGA is to admit the program has problems and give blame where blame is due: “poor coaching, period.”

Cut all blongs and just win baby!! Just Win!! For God’s Sake bring a National Title home someday, so you can finally catch up with GT’s (4).

Kiante Tripp was switched to DE and made tremendous progress last year and the coaches have him forecasted as a potential starter or at least getting significant playing time. As for offensive linemen the guy the coaches were most impressed with and made the most progress was Josh Davis so don’t be surprised if he starts at tackle. We were very thin along the OL last year and the next few years we are going to be deep with 2 to 3 impact OL at every position.

WTF dawgy style!! This is exactly what I am talking about. No admitting the program has holes, just cherry picking a few stats to make everyone feel good in game day in Athens.

The most winning program in the Millennium? Even if that is correct, what does it matter with not national titles? Nothing, other then CMR’s photos on the Wheaties box. Nice, real nice. I would prefer national titles, but I can see how you need to lower expectations in Athens to make yourself feel good.

Your program has been off the radar screen during the Donnan and Goof years, then limp back into a couple SEC titles in the past few years, and we are back? Not a chance. Bobby felt sorry for your program, and coughed up CMR, and still no titles.

Let’s talk about loses to KY, Vandy, UF and a throttling from UT this year between the hedges. You SOB’s have no clue what you are talking about, and never will. You have galvanized why UGA fans have the reputation why they are considered the most ingnorant in the SEC.

OSU, UF, UA, and UT are the toughest games you have in 2007, so 4 out of 12 is relatively weak.

1. USC is getting better, not dominating yet and they will not win in Athens.

2. Troy State could trip you up, but not likely in Athens, although I would love to see UGA lose to Troy.

3. OSU came off a big win at the end of their season in 2006, and is poised to take it to you. 0-1 for the Dogs after weak 1.

4. UF and UT will throttle you.

Best of luck in ‘07.

Of the rivals top 100 for ‘08 about 21 or 22 of them have UGA on the list. We already have 3 committed and 2 or 3 more have us above everybody else. We beat UF and win the SEC and we probably have the #1 or #2 class this time next year. Then follow it up with a Natl Championship appearance in ‘08 and we’re consistent contenders for the next 5 or 6 years.

With Searels as our O-line coach we have a prob. top 25 recruiter and a great coach to compliment Bobo and Garner.  With this recruiting trio were as good as any teams in the country.  We'll definitely be winning plenty of battles for top linemen O and D.

As far as our recievers go, they will have been catching bullets from Stafford for a whole year come next season.  And they know that hes the one thats gonna be throwing them in the game so they should be ready to catch'em this season.  And you can bash Stafford all you want but I know good ones when I see 'em and this kid is as accurate as they come.  He developed a lot of touch on his passes the second half of last season.  Half of his picks either came after a dropped pass putting us in obvious passing situation or were a result of a bad route or lack of effort on the recievers behalf.  And Im gonna wait til at least half way through next season before I throw Eason under the bus, but I will say that he is the weak link in our staff right now.  (no pun intended)

Buck, Logan Gray playing? He has said himself he will red-shirt.

If we are talking impact true freshmen that will exclude the juco’s for sure. So based on that these are the guys who will be IMPACT:

Rennie Curran - He is strong enough and good enough to crack the rotation. Were talking about guy who if was 2 inches taller is a 5*. Regardless of size his impact will be on special teams.

Coach Richt siad last year that some of the freshmen could have helped and he was talking special teams. I truly believe the coaching staff regrets not RED-SHIRTING CJ Bryd.

Aaron White - Kris Durahm proved if you can catch the ball you will play. The only thing that might hurt Aaron is learning the system. Kris graduated early and had time to gain 10lbs of muscle and play pitch and catch wit hhis rommie and future Heisman winner Stafford. Aaron has all the tools to be a Kevin Wislow type TE.

The King - Caleb is the best back in the country. Joe McWho? If Caleb doesn’t go through what he did his senior year and plays in the AA game then all the hype that is recruiting wouldhave been on Caleb!

Sure we have Lump and Brown and Moreno but no one thought Brown would have played as a true freshmen and made the impact that he did! Caleb is the one impact player out of everyone recruited. He can catch passes, return balls on KO, and everytime the ball is handed to him he has a chance to go all the way!

I said it about Stafford last year even after he was put 4th on the depth chart(coaches were testing his attitude IMO)he would play and be impact! You are hearing it again now about Caleb!

Other then that I hope they red-shirt everyone that is not a juco or hargrave. (The Bean will be impact but he is 1 year removed from high scool)

Red-shirting is alive and well unless kids need to fill in for depth or are impact players.

BTW, it has been mentioned above by altamaha, but Fl. played a bunch of freshmen because they had to!

Since it SEEMS as though we addressed our needs on the line, would it be safe to say that the next priority is teaching the WRs how to catch? We can block all we want but if we don’t catch the ball with a helluva lot more consistency than last year our offesne will still be one dimensional. I also can’t agree with not redshirting King. We’ve already tried running a 3 back rotation, it doesn’t work. Lumpkin is MORE than capable to carry the load with Moreno getting a few each game to get his feet wet. Even if Brown gets a medical redshirt I still don’t see the point of wasting Kings redshirt so he can get a couple of carries a game. Just my opinion.

4. Watch everyone cry while losing to KY.

5. Listening UGA fans talk about 2007 and 2008, when nothing will come of it, and I watch as your program continues to unravel.

Jim Donnan,

Your right, “no consistant winning for UGA football lately”. After all, there are FOUR division 1 teams in all of college football that have WON more games than UGA over the last six years. ONLY those four teams are any good.

Also, no SEC team has won more SEC championships since Richt’s arivial, but your right that is only a conference championship in the most difficult division in college football… so that isn’t much of an accomplishment.

UGA FINISHED #3 in the polls in 03, thats a long way from “competing” for a BCS national championship.

Oh wait… your wrong.

Side Note: Florida has a great football program, but you do understand that they finished BELOW UGA in every final poll but THIS YEAR since Richt’s arrival, right?

UGA mediocre? and you say UGA fans live in fantasy land? Here is an exercise for you… Name me “all” the teams in the country that have won more games than UGA since Richt stepped foot on UGA’s campus. It is a very very short list.

Big Dawg.. I don’t remember seeing Kiante Tripp playing much. Well, which Tripp are you referring to? There are 3 of them on the team. I’ll take your word for it, that he has improved. But I do remembered Rodrick Battle/Jeremy Lomax did an exceptional job sub-ing in.

We’re loaded on DE. Marcus Howard is going to be the man. Yes, he’s undersize, but he’ll make everybody forget about QMo. Jarius Wynn will fill in nicely where bigbully vacated… then in this order: 1. Rodrick Battle 2. Jeremy Lomax 3. Kiante Tripp 4. Brandon Wood.

Geno Atkins impressed me as an interior guy. He’s very agile and quick. I hope I won’t jinx his sophomore year. It’s nice to finally have some depth on D-line. We need them all to play to keep the “oneses” fresh.

I really expect Kade Weston to have a monster year. Jeff Owens as well.. These two guys have got to set the temple early for our D. These other guys in this order will help keep up the pace: 1. Geno Atkins 2. Corvey Irvin 3. Ricardo Crawford 4. Demarcus Dobbs may have to move inside.

Not a bad front line Big Dawg. These guys will take a lot of pressure off our linebackers and secondaries as well. I’m licking my chops…

By Big Dawg

February 15, 2007 11:18 PM | Link to this

I agree with you that we are loaded and deep with quality players at every position. Now as for Kiante Tripp he was redshirted because the coaches felt he needed a year to get stronger and make the transition to DE. It is my understanding that John Fabris had wanted to take the shirt off of Tripp because he showed tremendous progress in a very short period of time. They were impressed with all of these guys including Woods maybe they will be subing on every down that way none of them will get tired and they will all get extensive playing time. Coach Richt has been qouted several times saying there were a few of these freshmen that they should not have redshirted and Josh Davis, Kiante Tripp and Dobbs were the players he was talking about.

Hey Big Dog and I-Dog: name the number of national titles for UGA in the past 25 years. Correct. ZERO, a VERY LARGE ZERO. Sorry, but no dice on winning percentages, just tiles, of which UF had both polls in 1996 and the BCS and 2006.

Spurrier also hung 52 on you guys in 1995, when some UGA fan popped off about no one hung a half-dollar on the dogs between the hedges.

In addition, UGA has failed to reach a national title game in over 25 years. Yes, CMR and the poodles are on the front of the Wheaties box at Ingles, which is something to get excited about, but win some natioanl tiles, then you can talk smack like USC, LSU or UF.

**Here is some math about your dominant program: since 1990 UF has won 15 of 17 {or that would be a winning percentage of what .882)? After 2007, it will be UF 16 of 18, then 17 of 20. And the beat goes on.

During Ray Goff’s final campaign, Florida coach Steve Spurrier enacted some revenge for the down years he’d faced as a player vs. Georgia. With renovations to the old Gator Bowl stadium underway, the game was held in Athens, Ga. for the first time in over 60 years. The Gators led by a score of 45-17 with 5 minutes to go in the game, but it wasn’t enough for Spurrier. He called a touchdown play in the final minutes specifically to be the first to hang “half a hundred” on the Bulldogs in their own stadium.[2] This also set the record for the most points (52) scored on the Bulldogs in Sanford Stadium, which still stands.

Florida had a great season, congratulations.

There were some morons posting that UGA football is mediocre. It just isn’t supported by the facts. If no team has won more SEC Titles during the last six years (Richt Era) and only four teams in all of D-1 have more wins during that period, how can anyone call that mediocre.

UGA was mediocre in 07. One could make an argument for that supported by the facts. However, when people post the sky is purple, it doesn’t matter how many times they post it… it just isn’t true.

62 wins, four top 10 finishes, 3 SEC East titles, and two SEC titles are impressive statistics for Richt’s first 6 seasons.

National titles? Richt has been at it 6 years and I believe he will go down as 2nd only to Bear Bryant in terms of success in the SEC. I believe he will eclipse Dooley, Spurrier, et al and will win at least one national title during his tenure. I wouldn’t want anyone else as a coach.

Why would a big time playmaker like troupe take a $50.000 contract to play baseball when he could get an education from UGA, have a chance to be the go to guy for a QB like stafford. he could even play BB for Uga and get drafted in 3 years and still get payed.
