Chip, of course there’s reason to believe we’ll be right there in the middle of the SEC chase. It may sound too simplistic, but this game really is predicated on the quarterback, and with Stafford coming into his own at the end of last year we have one of the most stable quarterback situations in the SEC. As talented as Flynn and Tebow are, this is their first season’s as starters in the SEC, and that’s why I’m not as high on LSU and Florida as most, although they both are still very good, don’t get me wrong. I just like the team’s that have proven quarterbacks, so I think the East comes down to Tennessee and Georgia.

As for what our record will be, I’m going to say 10-2 with the one of the losses coming to Auburn (they always get us in Athens) and another coming to either South Carolina or Florida. South Carolina is scary because we figure to be a little vulnerable early and they usually play us tight, and Florida is Florida. Until we beat them more than once every seven or eight years it’s hard to predict a win. I do think we’ll make it four in a row in Knoxville, and of course we’ll get revenge on Vandy and UK to go along with another win over Tech.

“Is there any reason at all to believe Georgia might be in the thick of the SEC race?”

Is there any reason at all to think they won’t?

Is there any evidence at all that you’re not a braindead idiot? At least you admitted you are a hack. Because you are.

What? A South Carolina fan predicted greatness for SC before the season starts? Unheard of.

South Carolina may be good. You always have to be worried about a team coached by SOS. But he still is woefully short on talent up there.

Dawgs will be good, better than last year. But still a year away from being the best in the SEC. I’m (while throwing up in my mouth a little bit) predicting a 3 way tie between UF, UT, and UGA. We each lose two SEC games. UT wins tiebreaker and represents in the SECCG. UGA beats UF and as such plays in a BCS bowl anyway. UF in Cap one.

…forget about the SEC Championship, and just try to beat Vanderbilt, but you have to play them on the road this time.

Dawgs will lose at least 5 games…UF, UT, Auburn, GT, and/or OSU, Vanderbilt, USC.

My crystal ball is murky. I say we play for the win in the East but we will be fighting tough competition in UF and Tenn. If anyone of the top three have only one loss in the SEC, then they are the SEC East Champ. I think USC is still a year away from competing with the big three for the East bid. My opinion, I have been wrong before and sadly will be wrong again.

Tech fans talking smack on our blog is really as dumb as us talking smack on a Florida blog. Just admit who has your number when it’s clear, moron.

Look, everything went Florida’s way in 2006. It has to to win it all. It’s unlikely they’ll be as good since they’re losing all those horses and their QB.

UT should be as good or better than last year. Obvously 9-4 isn’t what they want out of their season anymore than UGA wanted it last year.

For UGA, it all depends on the defense. The offense seems to be just fine, but can the new starters do well on defense?

I would guess that UGA would finish 2nd behind Florida. Then UT, then the winner of the UK/USC game. I think we’ll learn an awful lot from the Ok State game. If our defense doesn’t get better this fall, they could hang 40 on us.

Chip, if that was Lamecock Gary, don’t pay attention to what he says. He likes to talk a big game but then, after the first SEC game they play (against the Dawgs) he likes to disapear until the next year instead of eating his humble pie.

I already said what I think will happen, but I’ll repost it now. This is basically how I think that the SEC will shake out this year.

1. Tennessee 13 - 0 (wins SEC, plays in Mythical National Championship Game, they always replace great wideouts with great wideouts, and Ainge will be fine and will battle Stafford for best QB in the SEC honors)

2. Georgia 11 - 1 (3 - point loss to Tenn at Tenn, plays in BCS game, most likely Sugar, Stafford makes the SEC his beeyotch)

3. LSU 11 - 2 (loses SEC, plays in Capitol One Bowl)

4. Auburn 10 - 2 (loses to Georgia and LSU, plays in Outback Bowl)

5. Arkansas 9 - 3 (plays in Cotton Bowl)

6. South Carolina 9 - 3 (play in Peach with chance for 10 win season, highlight of the year is beating the No. 7 team)

7. Florida 8 - 4 (lose to Georgia, Tenn, South Carolina, and LSU, they play in the Music City Bowl. Also, Turdblow gets whacked so much by SEC LBs that he’s injured half the year)

8. Kentucky 8 - 4 (Liberty Bowl)

9. Ole’ Miss 7 - 5 (Independence Bowl)

10. Alabama 5 - 7 or 6 - 6 (possible Hawai’i Bowl if they can finish 6 -6)

11. Vanderbilt 5 - 7

12. Mississippi State 5 - 7

That’s how I see it. The reason why Florida will fall so far is two-fold. The first is they ahve a brand new defense. Their whole defense is gone. Second is Urban Meyer. The reason why Florida was so tough last year in close games was because Chris Leake wasn’t Meyer’s kind of QB. Let me explain. I mean that because Leake isn’t suited for the “spread option,” Meyer had to incorporate many different styles, which kept opposing defenses off balance. Now, Meyer believes he has a QB who can run his “pure” system. A pure spread option will not work in the SEC. It won’t. It works when it’s mixed with other styles to keep defenses guessing, like what LSU and Auburn have done, and hopefully we will do this year. But to line up in that shot-gun, finesse offense with a running QB like he had in Utah… it’s not going to work. Turdblow is going to get hurt. The shine comes off of Florida. And they’ll have their coach’s immense ego to thank for it.

Ainge and Stafford will have great years. Brandon Cox will have an okay year. McFadden will win the Heisman, and Arkansas will lose those 3 games close. Saban won’t have a great year, but if he finishes at 6 - 6, he’ll gladly take the trip to Hawaii. Next year is the year that Auburn fans should be wetting their pants about. I think, depending on how Bammy does, that the SEC can have 10 Bowl teams. And although Ole Miss makes a bowl going 7 -5, they will fire Ole Ed because the denizens from The Grove want more (they should never have fired Cuttcliff). Also, after this year, Cuttcliff gets another Head Coaching shot, maybe at Missy St. Although it would be political suicide for Missy St. to fire Sly Croom, I think HE actually leaves Missy St. to take a different job somewhere where he can actually win.

I am not trying to be a chip basher so don’t take this the wrong way, but, you get paid to provide information that we the reader can use to make educated decisions and carry on intelligent conversation a/b the sport we all love so much. It seems the past few blogs you have opened the floor for us to make predictions or statements based on information we have either gathered on our own or from another news source. I have seen you in interviews talk UGA football and you give a great analysis. Be a Bave O’Brien protege and give us some substance. When you open the floor without solid information, it allows freaking idiots the opportunity to say stupid idiotic things without any sources to back up their idiotic statements. For example…here is a mantra by one UFfanatic, “UGa looses to tech UF, UofA, AU, and USc and TENN. Count on it. OH and OSU will give them a run for their money.” To say UGA has the opportunity to lose (8) games is absolutely moronic. If you look at how UGA finished the season last year, dismantling the #1 defense in the country, and based on what we have seen in spring practice/ spring game, it is clear that they have an opportunity to do something special. How special that is remains to be seen, but, they WILL have a winning season. Do alittle investigative reporting, pass on the information, and then people like UFfanatic will make themselves look even more like idiots.

Georgia or Tennessee wins the East. Word out of Gainesvegas is that coaches are worried about Tebow’s slow release. The box will be stacked until he proves he can throw the ball downfield. Stafford goes to NY as a Heisman candidate next year though(and I am Auburn alumni)as he has the best arm in the SEC now that Jamarcusrusselcumbum is gone. SC might win 7-9 and UF will win 9.

Winner of Auburn/LSU wins the West depending on how their QB’s play the other 11 games. Alabama might win 8 but they are rebuilding just like Florida. Ole Miss fires Caveman after winning only 6 and Arky wins 8. Who cares about Missy St. anyways?

By Dawg4life

April 11, 2007 5:40 PM | Link to this

I agree with JMDawg. I have no idea why people are so high on UF for next year. Now, I wouldn’t put them fourth, but I’d venture to say they could be third behind UGA and UT in the East.

A few things: It really is all about experience at the QB position. That’s one of the reasons we fell off last year. Receivers dropped passes because – well, they weren’t coached well – but besides that, they weren’t familiar with either of the QBs that were starting under center. None of the QBs who got significant playing time were 100 percent comfortable with the offense. And when the QB isn’t comfortable, the team isn’t gonna have success.

That said, I’m glad Stafford took his lumps last year. You can tell this year that he’s 120 percent more comfortable with the offense…and coaches can tell, too. The detriment to teams like UF and LSU is that, while they have great teams on paper, their teams are entirely too new on the field. Tebow was a “gimmick” QB last year. That’s why he’ll be unsuccessful as a full-time starter. He won’t admit that now, but I promise you when UF loses 3 or 4 games this year, he’ll admit that he didn’t have a comfort level at the start of the season. There won’t be any “snap and run through the 2- or 3-hole” next year, because he’ll be forced to actually throw the ball. Not saying that he can’t, but he didn’t really have to before.

Same with the LSU QB. He’s too new, and he’s unproven.

I think UGA wins the East. But it’ll be by riding our offense this year…that’ll be the big difference. Our defense is going through a phase of change, and losing those defensive ends really hurts. If we can’t generate any pressure on the QB this year, we’ll be relying on our Offense all season to carry us.

UGA: 11-1: Loss comes to either Tennessee or Auburn (who will be gunning for us after the way we embarrassed them last year)

TN: 9-3

UF: 9-3

USC: 8-4

That’s my prediction for the East. Those who think Tennessee will go undefeated this year should think about how hard it is to install a no-huddle offense. Now imagine how hard it is to do that when your QB doesn’t take part in spring practice.

I know what I want to happen, but in reality too close to call. Kinda like every year in the SEC EAST. 2 or 3 plays will define the placement. How much did 2 missed FG define us last year, and 1 holding penalty define UFs year? I know this: we are a going to be a heck of a lot better than 2 FG this year, and UF is going to be down a heck of lot more than 1 holding call. Not worried (well worried every week, part of the fun) but expect we will be ready for SC. Not feeling real good about the trip to Ktown. Tn is due to have a big year.

Ahhh..that time of year again. This is obviously pure speculation but why not have fun with it…

East Tennessee Florida Georgia S. Carolina Vandy Kentucky

WEST LSU Alabama Auburn Arkansas Miss State Ole Miss

In the East, Tennessee should win it. They return an experience starting QB and still have some good receivers and a good RB in Coker. Their line is also solid. They will again be stout on D. The highly ranked recruiting class from 2 years ago should start showing. Florida is returning a ton on offense but the question will be there D. They have recruited all dating back to Zook and should be able to replace guys but there will be some drop off. Why UGA fans think Stafford is so much further ahead of Tebow is beyond me. Both are very good QB’s and were highly ranked coming out of high school. They are a different style and the style they run fits their offense. UGA will be better on offense but the question is, how much? Their OL is very green and their receivers were far from great last year. Stafford will take his lumps. On D, they are just bad as the reports showed in the spring game. If they dont get players healthy, the D will get picked on. S. Carolina is my sleeper and they could challenge for the East. They return a lot of players and they are a team that got better as the season went along. Vandy and UK will be, Vandy and UK.

On the west, LSU is loaded…again. The have to replace Russell and Flynn will be the guy given the chance. If he doesn’t work out, they will have to settle on Ryan Perilloux who was the #1 high school player in the country a couple of years ago. Not a bad situation to be in. They are loaded on the OL and at WR. On D, they return an all american on the DL and only really have to replace LaRon Landry. Alabama will be very good on offense. Wilson proved he was a worthy SEC QB last year and DJ Hall my be the best receiver in the SEC with over 1000 yards receiving last year. They have depth on at WR and OL. RB is a question but they have enough back their to find a solid guy to carry the ball. RB by committee is not out of the question for Saban. On D, they lost a lot. They are thin in the front 7 but loaded at DB. If they can find some depth in the front 7 between now and Sept, BAMA could be better than expected. AU will see a drop off this year. Cox is a below average SEC QB who is maybe the slowest guys I have ever seen. They dont return a lot of experience at WR or OL. Lester should have a good year and they have some good backup RB’s. On D, they should be pretty good but have to replace David “The Brain” Irons. Groves should have a monster year but will see A LOT of double teams. Arkansas has the best RB in the country in McFadden and Jones could start at most other SEC schools. Their QB is terrible and they have maybe one good receiver. Thet lost their best pass rusher on D and several DB’s. Don’t look for 10 wins this year from the Pigs. Miss State was my sleeper until I looked at their schedule. OUCH!! Their D will once again be solid but can they produce enough points to win games. Ole Miss will be terrible. Schaeffer has gone from the not even on campus yet starter to now battling Seth Adams for the job. They have to replace Willis and Johnson at LB and that will hurt. Willis may be the best LB I have seen since Derrick Thomas. And…Ed Orgeron is still the coach.

As I said…pure speculation so don’t get your panties in a bunch over this!! :) That’s what makes this time of year fun!!! All this really is anyway is a bunch of opinions!

Chip, I think I can hit 75% (9 out of 12) of my picks plus or minus one. I think I’m not that far off. If I can hit half of them dead to rights, I think I’ll deserve some kind of prize. The McFadden pick is easy for me, because he’s going to be Arkansas’ offense. Him. That’s it. Their QB is sub-par. He does a great back-up, but he’ll come close to 2000 yards, if not going over 2000. He’ll have a couple of 200 yard games, that’s for sure. Maybe 3 or 4. That spells Heisman for me. Also, remember that they’ll use him as a QB near the goal line in a spread attack, meaning he’ll be throwing TD’s as well as running for them and catching them. There is nothing that those idiot northern and northwestern Heisman voters like more than a multi - use players. Remember the travesty of Peyton Manning losing out to Charles Woodson? Yeah. The Heisman is McFadden’s to lose.

And for the idiot Bug fans (and the idiot Bug fans posing as Gaturds), it was Mel Kiper, Jr. who said Stafford was the real deal. And for the guy who calls himself SEC Football, dude, get a new handle, ‘cause if you can’t figure out WHY Stafford has a huge headstart on Turdblow, then your moniker needs changing. Dude, there’s a difference in the experience of playing QB in the SEC and winning a huge bowl game when it’s all on your shoulders, then simply playing a running back (like Turdblow did), coming in on goal line situations. Seriously, dude. Buy a clue.

Chip stay with us and because that may keep Carter buy on other things. Someone mentioned earlier about the spelling of names. He’s right. It’s nothing but degrading to the “Dawg Nation” to turn someones name into a cuss word. Tim Tebow nor any other player deserve to have their names spelled correctly just like the Dawg players do. If the guy has nickname that’s fine but lets not lower ourselves to the way some of these people do………people who don’t think Tebow can throw just haven’t studied his pass history. You’ll see for your self……Earlier today I made my predictions for ‘07. I’m very concerned about our “D” for this season and SOS knows that our game could be the key to his season. Lose to the Dawgs 3 times in a row? Okla. St. is going to be a good opener then we must beat SC. And we don’t do that by underestimating them and the Coaches won’t do that.

West 1) LSU 2) Arkansas 3) Auburn 4) Alabama 5) Ole Miss 6) Miss St.

SEC Champ Georgia

SEC MVP Mathew Stafford

Sugar and National Champ Georgia

Runner-Up West Virginia

Analysis:

While Georgia may struggle at times on defense, the offense will finally be a force to reckon with. The defense, while not dominating, will be plenty good enough considering that we do not face any offensive juggernauts on the schedule. In addition, Georgia has the best athletes in the conference this season.

Everybody thinks that UF will be as good if not better with Tebow. I’m not sure he will survive the beating he will take. Meyer is betting that a running qb can succeed in the SEC. My bet is he ends up on crutches. There is no backup and the defensive line is gone. Also don’t forget that UGA gets the week before the cocktail party and UF plays. The reverse has been true for a very long time.

Matthew….please tell me why I should buy a clue. Should it be because I dont think Stafford is the second coming of Joe Montana? Should it be because I think there are better QB’s in the league with better receivers? Or should it be because I think Tim Tebow might just be a good QB. Tebow came into college with as much, if not more hype than Stafford (probably because Stafford committed early). Both were VERY good QB’s and could have chosen any school in the country they wanted to play for. UGA fans hyped up Stafford and basically pulled an Ed Orgeron and named him starter before he even set foot on campus. Now, Tebow has a year in the UF system under his belt but he cannot possibly be a good QB in your eyes because…well probably because he is a gator. You can talk Stafford up all you want but until he has a GREAT season, I refuse to think he is the best QB in the East, much less the entire league. In the end though, Tebow has something Stafford doesn’t right now and that is an SEC Championship ring. He also has something Stafford will never have and that is a National Title. And oh yeah…Tebow is also 1-0 vs UGA!

So…before you go telling me to buy a clue, realize on thing…The world does not revolve around UGA football. There are other good players in the league. You will notice that by the record against UF and another good example would be the final score of the UT game last year. Oh..wait…UT just scored again.

DorseyHill…whatever it is you are drinking, please share with the rest of the board. You must be kidding? You know what they saw, defense win championships. From what I have read throughout the spring, UGA fans should be worried about the D.

As for beating UF, how about your team actually does it before you go talking about it. They have won what 15 out of 17? Until they do it, no one will believe it. Except UGA fans because we SEC fans hear the same banter every year.

SamoanDawg, YOU GOT ME!……SEC football, both QBs were built up and highly rated. Both played under different circunstances in ‘06 so nobody can compare. As for Stafford, I’m a big support of his but he does have to earn it on the field and when the Coaches decided to go with him through thick and thin everyone saw his talent begin to emerge. In ‘07 the spotlight will be on him big time and everyone will see what he does which,IMO, will be outstanding.

SEC, Turdblow DOESN’T have a year in the system under his belt. He has time split with Chris Leak in PRACTICE last year, and he has this spring, in which Meyer is installing his “pure” spread option (BIG mistake). Matthew Stafford has real game time, SEC, as a QB his team counts on to win. Matthew Stafford beat three top-16 teams in a row last year, one at the other guy’s place, one in a bowl, and two of them coming from behind. Where does Turdblow have ANY of that experience, SEC? He doesn’t. He was used as a situational running back. He never had to bring a team from behind. He never had to drive for a win. He never took a truly meaningful, do or die snap for the Gaturds last year. Chris Leak did, and now Chris Leak is gone, and the Gaturd fans are going to see just how valuable that severely underrated QB was for them when Turdblow is getting his brains smashed - in and making mistakes as a first year starter. Matthew’s already made those mistakes, and THAT experience is what makes him better, SEC. He’s not the second coming, but for you to make ridiculous statements that a kid with a little PRACTICE time is just as good as a kid with game - hardened experience is ludicrous. Once again, change your name, because you don’t know a darn thing about football. And how about you declare an allegiance, as well, and drop the SEC from your name.

So, once again SEC, explain to all of us how Turdblow has just as much experience as Stafford (when he doesn’t even have a tenth of the experience Matt hads), and how he’ll do so well because of his “vast” experience in PRACTICE and as a situational running back. I won’t hold my breath while you try to answer that unanswerable question.

Matthew…I can see reading is not one of your specialities. I never said he had as much experience. I said he was in the system learning and got some good game time experience.

So…You clearly believe Stafford is one of if not the best QB in the league. Since you want to compare 1st time year starters where time in the systems doesn’t count…Lets compare Stafford with John Parker Wilson. Now, I know you think there is no comparison because Stafford so great. However, both were 1st year starters and Wilson had far better numbers as a first year QB than Stafford did. He had one receiver with more than 1000 yards receiving and all of his receivers are back this year. Now…in your infinite wisdom as a QB expert, would you say that John Parker Wilson is a better SEC QB than the Chosen One? I for one would say that John Parker Wilson is a better QB.

By SEC Football

Ok..fair enough. However, John Parker Wilson has far few snaps in his freshman year than Tebow did. He didn’t have too many more snaps than Stafford has starting the season. But, he finished the season with much better numbers. He will most likely do the same this year. Based on last years perfomance by both QB’s and looking at what BAMA has returning, there is no reason for me to believe otherwise. And yes, TEBOW (thought I would spell it correctly since you dont have the intelligence or class to spell a college kids name correctly)will be a better QB than Stafford when all is said and done and will probably leave with a 4-0 record!

Chip, Point taken. The fact that you even responded to the blog shows you as a man of your word. Thank you.

SEC Football, Georgia shut down Tebow unlike every other team in the SEC. I don’t know how many yards he had to gain before Arkansas figured out that when Tebow was in, more than likely he was going to run. Now, that will probably change this year, but, last year he ran. Tebow is a great QB in his own right, but, let’s put it in perspective. Going into his sophomore season, Stafford has a TON of GAME experience. Will that translate into a win against UF? We will see in October. But, Tebow is NOT 1-0 against UGA (he was shut down). Also, he does NOT have a national championship. To make that statement is a slap in the face to Chris Leak who, by the way, played brilliantly against OSU. Keep your jubilance for Tebow in perspective and I’ll keep my smack on UF in check until October. Holler!

Matthew, we do spell it correct, he is a college player not your enemy and we recruited him earlier. They can’t all wear the right colors.

Hey, I’m “just a college kid,” too. And if I wanna be crass and call him Turdblow, well, there I go. Maybe it’s the hockey fan in me, but I don’t see the issue. And Altamaha, I would usually have no problem bowing to your wisdom here, as I agree with a lot of what you usually say (because unlike the rest of us, you can keep your perspective while talking about the Dawgs, something I try to do and do for pro teams, just can’t do it for the Dawgs), but I’m sorry, anyone who wears orange IS our enemy. I don’t care if we recruited him. We recruited Calvin Johnson, too. But I reveled in every poor game he had against us (which was EVERY game he played against us). Turdblow is the most overhyped football player I’ve seen in quite some time, and yeah, it pi$$es me off a little bit that Stafford doesn’t get half of the pub this situational running back has gotten, even though Stafford actually beat some tough teams last year.

So yeah, I’m sick of the ESPN hype machine which usually ignores the SEC as a whole, but now is only talking about one team. Stafford deserves some pub outside of Georgia, because unlike Turdblow, he’s actually proven it out on the field. His last three games were great games on any scale. Turdblow hasn’t done anything at this level to deserve the adulation. Another thing that kind of pi$$ed me off is that the Floridiots treated Chris Leak like he was some kind of Joe Tereshinski or something. Leak was a good college QB, and seeing the love those idiots showed Turdblow and the venom they spit Leak’s way reminded me of the Vick / Schaub thing here in Atlanta. So, while I hated Leak while he played for FU (I know it’s UF, but say FU because it sounds so much better), I kinda felt sorry for him. I guess I just have a thing for disliking ignorant idiot rednecks.

And that’s all I got to say ‘bout that.

Phillip Fulmer, no matter what coaches are surrounding him, will start making his own screwed up decisions as he always does. His job remains vulnerable because of his late season collapse yet again last year. He has not done a thing since Tee Martin admitted to taking the $8,000 wire transfers at the 7-11 store 9 years ago. In the 8 years since, Fulmer has lost 30 games – of course most of those losses have come against Coach Richt.

We bit the bullet last season on offense and played a true frosh QB. We paid for it dearly against both Vandie and Kentucky and accomplished more fumbles and interceptions by our true frosh qb in the loss to the vols and Florida as well.

This season, no one wants to admit how poor our Defense is. I don’t want to even think about having 40 put up on us in the 1st game. But, it is clear that we suffer on the DL, at strong safety and at middle linebacker. That is way too much suffering on Defense for us to have even beginning to be a respectable Defense.

Last season, we handed the football over to our opponents including against Tech, Auburn and Virginia Tech at the end of the season, and witnessed our sophomore QB toting the tater in the same haphazard fashion last Saturday, not to mention Reshad Jones should have picked Stafford off as well as half his throws behind the receivers and no deep pass completed to stretch the defense. And, last season we had a Defense. This year, we do not.

By BuLLdawg

April 12, 2007 12:47 AM | Link to this

I thought 10-3 last year. 9-4 instead, as for the 1st time in four decades an UGA QB lost to both Vandie and Kentucky, accomplishing nothing positive in either game.

I will stick with 9-4 this season until the QB can prove that he doesn’t fumble or throw interceptions and does get TDs instead.

And while with this Defense this season, you are going no where with a QB who has for an entire season in which only he played every game for us but 7 TD throws to 13 interceptions and but 3 TDs rushing to his 10 fumbles 6 lost.

Last season became a rebuilding year because we bit the bullet.

This season, is more of a rebuilding year because it is not 4 QB ahead of a raw recruit who would have done far more positive against Vandy and Kentucky than he did wasting his possessions, but because our Defense that is void of a Defensive Line in total, void of a middle linebacker and void of a strong safety.

If we were 9-4 last season, why would anyone consider anything else this season ?

As for our 2-14 against Florida, again, why consider you are better down there this season ?

You have never had a Defense this bad in the Coach Richt Era.

By BuLLdawg

April 12, 2007 12:47 AM | Link to this

We are not returning to the SEC Championship Game this season turning the football over to this lousy Defense as we did all season last season such as the 4 turnovers to Florida to lose by 1 score last year. And, Matthew Stafford is neither just one year away from declaring for the NFL Draft after not this season but next as guaranteed to us as to why his 5th Year Redshirt All-America Season had to be traded in on those horrendous loses to Kentucky and Vandie.

As for his close to the season last year, he fumbled twice against Auburn or we shut them out. He fumbled to Georgia Tech to put Tech ahead in the game early on, a lead they would hold the entire game until the game was winding down on the clock and he threw behind and high to Mohamed Massaquoi who reached back and up and grabbed the winning score. And against Virginia Tech, Matthew Stafford had two more fumbles and another interception.

The last 3 games of the season, he had 6 fumbles or interceptions, an average of 2 a game.

For the season, he had 10 fumbles 6 lost weighed against 3 Rushing TDs, and 13 interceptions weighed against 7 TD passes. That’s 23 miscues by our QB in 13 games.

We do not have the Number 8 Total Defense this year that UGA had in the NCAA last year to bail out a QB who values the football this demonstrative manner. It must flip-flop this season to 23 scores and 10 turnovers – fumbles and interceptions combined total of 10 to 23 TDs rushing or passing.

By BuLLdawg

April 12, 2007 12:48 AM | Link to this

Anything short of that, and this is not even going to be 9-4.

Take it to the bank.

Now, if Coach Richt decides to get his head out of his butt this season, and play some of the more deserving recruits instead of promising them an opportunity to compete only to have but 3 of his entire class hit the field from last year’s recruiting, then our Defense has an opportunity to have more playmakers this season than last year. But, right now they are not Number 1 on his Depth Chart yet again. This killed his recruiting class this year that none of the guys like Reshad Jones or Knowshon Moreno got any serious opportunity to be ready to come in against Auburn late in the season. These type kids are not going to choose Coach Richt next year either if he doesn’t turn this around giving basically but Matthew Stafford an opportunity to even play.

Reshad Jones has a great career ahead of him. So does Knowshon Moreno.

We could get in some shootouts this season. Game 1 will tell us on this point, if this is correct or not. I do not like our Defense as constituted by career never-did-nothings for us. We do not punt the ball well either to back up an offense against this defense as announced so far. And, our QB fumbles and throws interceptions, not valuing the football, without the Number 8 NCAA Total Defense to bail his butt out this season. And, our recruiting has fallen off because the nation knows that of that great recruiting class last year, most certainly the entire nation felt that of all of them, Matthew Stafford was the least ready for his position.

By BuLLdawg

April 12, 2007 12:49 AM | Link to this

We have mortgaged our recruiting. As the season winded down, every recruit in the nation said they felt they had a better opportunity to get snaps with some other coaching staff than this one.

You cannot year after year now, all a sudden say that you are going to redshirt far more deserving players than one in the limelight only and face it, his 23 miscues (10 Fumbles 6 lost and 13 interceptions) to only 7 TD passes and 3 rushing TDs is clear to all recruits that he wasn’t more ready than Reshad Jones last year.

Trust me that the recruits not given a fair shot at Playing Time spoke for all to know about this very fact.

We better fix it.

We have plenty of talent to field a very good Defense this season. How is it that we don’t know who the better players are ?

By BuLLdawg

April 12, 2007 12:49 AM | Link to this

9-4 unless we fix these items. Thank you for your question of what I think is happening with what was an Elite Football Program until we shot ourselves in the foot last season.

I will make no excuses for it this season either and that includes especially losing to Vandie and Kentucky for the 1st time in 4 decades.

Losing 1 Football Game all Season Long. God Almighty Above. What ever it is that you are doing, please do not share it with anyone else. What do you watch to see our QB fumble or throw interceptions, or force the football in there behind the receivers to have 23 miscues to only 10 TDs with what was the Number 8 NCAA Total Defense for this Number 90 NCAA Total Offense to rely upon bailing them out, that begins to make anyone feel that UGA will lose only 1 game all Season Long this Season with these glaring issues on the DL, MLB and Strong Safety ?

If you do not learn something watching what you see, then you are doomed to failure repeating the same mistake.

Coach will have the defense ready and not only WM but MR will see to that. He knows what went on last year you can bet on it. I will never forget that disturbing comment made by our safety Battle last year about how the D feeds off of the O. It is not only WM’s job but MR’s job to instill the fact that the D not be concerned with what the O is doing, but rather paying close attention to doing their own jobs, no matter what. I think MR is less concerned about the Defensive showing on G-Day than a lot of you are, just as he was less concerned with Shockley being ready after a less than stellar spring in 2005. The D will be tough, bet on it. Our O will light it up on some, and may have to win a game or two from behind like the CFA Bowl, but they will get it done. Things are just shaping up much more nicely it seems for UGA than at most so called elite programs that Herbstreet and the other morons at ESPN rave about, that it just seems that already the stars are starting to align.

I am worried about you Matthew as you claim I have some kind of wisdom. Your going to get some sneers on that in here. But thanks for noticing the perspective, I do try.

I tell you what, give Stafford this year to start getting noticed. Obviously the back up on the NC team is going to get more mention than the starter on 20th place team. And lets be honest here, we Dawg fan were certainly thrilled by winning the last 3 games, but it had way more to do with the defence, than the offence. Stafford had a few great plays but overall, those were NOT great performances. They very average SEC performances , with shade of the futre great.. Now if you want to say, great from a standpoint of a freshman finally learning catching on, then yes. But its not a freshman league as far as the rest of the country is concerned. We all saw the progressing, but thats not really of great national interest, not yet.

I also never really get the sence that others do about the media dismissing the SEC. I seem to catch the shows when they all say its the best in the country. Maybe they just dont think that needs to be said anymore. One of the things I believe is that the SEC is so obviously the best Football conference, the media prabably does spend a disproportionate amount of time talking about the others, as there is certainly great teams out there. When we need to worry, is when the ESPN talking heads feels like they need to spend 30 minutes convincing the country how good the SEC is going to be this year.

You won’t have to worry about ESPN spending their time talking up the SEC, that is not in their best interest. They are owned by ABC which will stop at nothing to promote the inferior Big Ten, Pac Ten & even the ACC because that is what their broadcast package consist of. There are rumblings of FOX making a real run at securing the SEC package from CBS, and that they may use their FoxSportsNet to develop a rival to ABC’s ESPN. Face it, the teams in these conferences do not want to play the SEC on any kind of consistent out of conference schedules. In recent history, only USC & Texas have had SEC caliber teams, with Oklahoma also being a joke. Bob Stoops lucked out to be named MNC in 2001, but those who know would say he has not acomplished anything significant since his UF D coordinator days. MR is not ready to tell everyone how truly exited he is about this team. All of the talk about how UGA has been dominated by UF is just senseless. UGA has not given up more than 14 Offensive points to UF since 2004, and we won that game. Shock went down before the game in 2005, and we just were not out of our funk yet in 2006. You all will see a whole different story this year. You can bet that UF would thank it’s lucky stars that they did not play UGA a little later in the year in 2006. Yes UT will be a game just as SC will but these teams are not as good as UGA and it will show. GO DAWGS……..

You UGA fans keep blogging away, it is what you do best, and all you can do. No national title since 1980, only 1 clear one in 1980 and a murky one from 1942. You guys act like you are football gods, when you are nothing more than a mediocre program.

Bottom line: UGA is just above average and always will be. Even if D1-A had a playoff systems, the dogs would not have a chance.

I see Southern Cal vs. UF for the national title in 2007, with UF winning the SEC again. Stafford will struggle with the blitzing defenses and man-to-man coverage schemes.

Stafford is overrated, along with Joe Cox. Not sure who is doing the recruiting at that dog shed in Athens, but you need to take another look at who is in charge of the talent pool, but then again, the balance of SEC teams said “keep on what you are doing.”

Mike Bobo will also struggle next year, as more DC’s have now adjusted to his play calling. It will be a long 2007 for the dogs, a long year.

Gators to repeat as SEC champs, but Southern Cal to beat them in the national title game. Southern Cal only played 4-5 seniors last year and is loaded beyond belief.

Next to Florida, California is the next largest talent pool in the nation and Southern Cal has finally tapped into that pool.

It’s hard to say so early. Clearly the East will be very tough. I agree about Kentucky being better and USC will continue to improve under Spurrie. However, I still beleive it comes down to UF, UT, and UGA. UGA could have something special if Stafford is one of those rare winners who can singlehandedly lead his team. Seeing his performance the last several games makes me think he just might be able to do it. If not, it will come down to who wins the UT and UF game for control of the East. Until UGA can start to win occasionally against UF then I have to beleive that they just mentally can’t do it. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is probably UT’s turn to win the SEC Championship game. The east will be a dogfight and whoever represents the west (even LSU) will just not be good enough to stop the eastern beast.

More DC have now adjusted to coach Bobo’s playcalling now? When exactly did that happen, and how would you characterize his style?. Seriously man, at least try to make sence.

BTW , out own DC hasnt adjusted to him yet, and he’s about the only one who has seen it.

Going with USC and UF huh. Wow , such insight, such daring. So basically, your football savy is that you have been alive in the last 3 years? I’m guessing any 8th grade girl could make those predictions. In fact that might have been what just happened….

Somoan, that not a gator fan, or else one that is too ashamed to admit it, which is hard to figure. Just some punk kid that grew up in Atlanta, and thinks its “cool” to trash and the local teams. I’m sure the nose ring really showed his dad. Been watching too much reality TV.

Columbusdawg, I was thinking the same thing, the last time we went to J-ville with any expectations of winning that game, we did. Prior to that…who knows, planetary alignment. I have no doubt that we will loose several more more to UF, and Tn, and Au over the years, as they have to us, but it all evens out over a long enough period of time. This staff and these 19 yr old have no mental anything about any team. With some exceptions, the better shape teams have won in J-ille. Just a matter of going down there in better shape.

Joon…I have to disagree as LSU is still probably the most talented team, top to bottom in the SEC. Saban began the recruiting efforts and Miles has continued them. They have had top 5 classes much of the last 7 years. Several of those were top ranked classes under Saban. They have a ton of talent to choose from in the state of LA. There are several teams in the West this year that will challenge the East. BAMA and AU will not just lay down to the mighty Eastern division teams either. As for Stafford, while I agree that he is a good QB, what did he show last year that made you think he will be so good. I have to say as an Alabama fan that I was far more impressed with John Parker Wilson than I was Stafford. Wilson, while he had some live snaps in the past (less than 20), was a 1st time starter that had what was thought to be less talent than UGA. He had a very good season last year despite the terrible offense play calling my Shula and Rader and he has far more reliable receivers than UGA does which was proven last year. Not to take anything away from Stafford. He looked good as a freshman and may be a good QB. But why does he have any more potential as a QB than Wilson or any other QB in the SEC? Please tell me it is not because of his high school hype or one good game last year against AU.

Yeah, Ainge—Stafford should be a good match-up. My guess is Stafford has more physical tools than Ainge. They both have good arms but Ainges’ legs are molasses. Ainge has a good read downfield and probably won’t force the issue unless time is against him. I believe he’s learned to throw it away, line it up for another play. Between the ears is where the QB can be found… Ainges’ Soph year was a disaster. Lesson learned..?

Toe to toe, it may be a typical SEC ballgame. UGA’s Special Teams, RB’s and CoUTu are my real worries here when we meet again…

UGA to win the SEC title and contend for the NC is the most absurd thing discussed in NCAA Football. They have a real bad habit of putting both hands around their necks and squeezing very tight when the pressure is on. when was the last time a UGA team played for a title. They have a very good program but they are not National Title contenders. The program is not set up for NC consideration…It is set up for SEC Championship contention. Big difference. At UGA, winning the SEC is winning the NC. They do not have the ability to look past the SEC crown. They have won 12 SEC crowns and only 2 NC’s in their 114 year history. Doesn’t seem like a program set on NC’s to me. Hell, even GT has more NC’s then UGA. So for all this talk about “feeling something special this year” and Stafford is this and a bag of chips…until UGA can get over itself and the past the SEC title they will never win a NC. I guess all this will be mute when Stafford wins the Heisman and UGA plays for the NC…sorry about that I dozed off and was having a nightmare. LOL…Have a good day UGA fans and welcome to SABANATION this year. This year the SEC, Next year the Nation.

SEC Football, You may be right about LSU. For the last 5 years they have been the most steady top SEC team. I’ll admit to being a little uknowledgeable about them becasue of the distance. Yes, the west is very good I tend to be a homer win it comes to divisions. I’d certainly love any of those West teams to beat up on all eatern counterparts of the Bulldogs. However, I do believe Stafford may have that certain edge. It’s just what I saw in the last three wins and even in the second half of the Florida loss. He is not yet up to the caliber of John Parker Wilson and may not be able to get there this year. I just feel that there is something extra there and I’m not saying that as a homer. I tend ot be pessimistic about my team (note that I pick UT to win it) but in my years of watching football I feel that I’ve learned to spot that certain something winners have. I suspect he may have it. Of course, the double edged sword is he may not be able to handle failure and at the first real struggle he may wilt and all the high school hype will be just that. But I think not, I think he has that edge. We will just see. Do you think Saban can immediately turn things around in Bama? I’d atleast like to start seeing the red teams win things again. This orange, blue and purple stuff has got to end.

I am not completely sold on Tebow. He is being used primaryly as a running, occasional passing QB. SEC defenses will adjust to him. I have alway felt that give SEC Defenses a couple years to adjust to Meyer’s offense and the talented defenses will take it apart. Stafford is good, has a rocket of an arm and it was good for him to play as a Freshman to break him in. Tennessee will be much better with the return of thier Offensive Coordinator. South Carolina is getting stonger and bigger with better recruits. Competition for positions bring out the best in players and SOS’s talent is not in question.

1 Tennessee (Too Much Talent) 2. Georgia (Still Working out Offense) 3. South Carolina (Building Quick) 4. Flordia (Filling Holes) 5. Kentucky (Big Offense No Defense) 6. Vanderbilt (Same Old Same Old)

12-0 this year with a trip to the National Championship game. Who is going to stop us? UF? If you think we have D problems, check them out first, and the have a FB for a QB. UT and Aubarn? Probably our toughest games, but we should be favored if everything comes together. South Carolina? No chance, Gamecock Gary will disappear after that game as he does every single year. Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Vandy are automotic conference wins. All of our noncoference games are automatic as usual. Basically, we cruise to 9 wins and we beat the other 3.

Why is this? We have the best QB in the SEC. He was the best QB on our team last year, and for all his problems just imagine how bad the record would have been with Joe T back there. We are improved at every “skill position”, especially with the invaluable experience Stafford gained. Maybe we’ll slip to one or even two of the three, but we will run the table on the others, so 9-3 worst case, 12-0 best case, and I’m choosing to be an optimist this year.

I felt the same way about Tebow and the Meyer offense. However, if they keep getting talent at the level they are getting it you could probably run a wishbone and do it successfully. You never know how it will play out. I am going to disagree with you on Vandy. They definitely won’t make it to the top but they are a tough team. They may suprise a couple of unsuspecting teams this year. Just think about Georgia last year.

I have to say that the SEC is the toughest conference in College Football. In the East, Tennessee will be tough, too much talent and Cutcliff back in as OC. Georgia with Stafford. Rocket Arm and his bumps in the Freshman year will serve him well, but they are still working in a new OC. South Carolina building fast, lost of top recruits that are pushing for starting spots. Competition for starts brings out the best in players, and never underestimate SOS. Florida, filling holes from a senior laden team and SEC defenses figuring out Meyer’s smoke and mirrors. Plus not complete sold on Tebow.

1 Tennessee(Too Much Talent,Cutcliff) 2 Georgia (Stafford and new OC) 3 S. Carolina (Building quick and SOS) 4 Florida (Filling holes and Tebow) 5 Kentucky(lots of Offense, No Defense) 6 Vandy (Hand in till Halftime)

Mike, I have to say that was very long winded way of saying absolutely nothing. Folk like you that can focus on nothing more in any discussion of NCAA football other than NOT winning the MNC, show your simplicity. Not to mention, we all enjoyed your absolute knowledge of a program you prabably know little about. Your contention that you know what the UGA program thinks or plans for is pretty rediculous. Or that grown men do not know the difference in acronyms. “not set on the NC”, hmm didnt really that was conscious decision made at high levels in the athletic department. If so, you are correct , we need to fix than and “intend” on winning more games. Perhaps fixing the rest of the results around the country to more line up with us, like in 2002, would be good too. If I can directly contradict you, yes the University of Georgia would want to and does try to win an national championship every chance it gets. So there, you are proven wrong. In the meantime, feel free to make fun of as many SEC trophies as you wish.

Aside from a few loose comments in here this year, that are meant to be purely team sprited, not sure who you are lecturing to, about expectations of NC this year. Sounds more like you just felt the need to pile on the other dawg hater that have nothing better do and that’s all you could come up with.

Joon…thanks for the solid reply. For LSU this year, it will be the test for Miles. He had A LOT of talent last year but they didnt make it to the SECCG. Something in me wants to believe that the light will go on this year for him and LSU will be pretty dominant. They have way too many players not be good.

As far as Stafford goes, I don’t think he is a bad QB at all. I just don’t think he will end up with the number of wins that Greene had. I saw the AY game and he was very good. I saw the GT game and he was good but nothing really blew me away. I was not sure about John Parker Wilson going into last year and he was a very pleasant surprise. He needs to learn that sliding or running out of bounds is ok and he will. I think he is in for another big year due to the fact that his main 4 targets are back (Hall, Brown, Stover and Oakley) as well as a couple of guys who we redshirted last year. In his new O, the TE will be used a lot more effectively than it was by Shula. Not sure we have great TE’s but we have a couple that could develop into good SEC TE’s. I also have to believe the play calling will not be as bad as it has been. We have a very young OC in Major Applewhite but he is very well thought of. There were a number of schools that were trying to get him. He likes spread it out and run different looks as opposed to Shula who probably used the phrase “ok..run it again” way too often. :)

As for Saban, I think he will win games at Alabama. I am certainly not expected an SEC title this year as the players will have some adjusting to do. I look for BAMA to be a team that is much better phyical shape. I look for an offense that will be more creative than we have been the last 4 years but we need to establish someone at the RB spot. Coaches are pleased with the progress of the RB’s but no one has claimed the job. We also need to fix the RT spot and I think the guy last year, Capps, has been replaced. He watched so much football he should have bought tickets! :) On D, we are very think in the front 7 so Saban is experimenting with guys at some new positions to create some depth. Some of the position changes we saw coming. They will definitely be more aggressive and blitz early and often. I think we will win the 8 games we are “supposed to win” and maybe steal one that we shouldn’t like UGA or UT. I think we will win against FSU and I have to beleive we are due against AU. We shall see. Good luck to your Dogs this season!! :)

BadgerDawg, I’m with you. Like Chip said “it’s early to make predictions for ‘07, however, I just sense a very special year. Why? 1. CMRs coaching changes 2. the “OL” class we recruited for this year. I think if we get through the 1st two games they’ll begin to really click. 3. Our FG kicker is back 4. Stafford is showing that he can get the ball to the play makers. 5. based on no real evidence, I think our WRs won’t drop the ball like last year and I won’t be a bit surprised we don’t end up with a couple of true freshmen catching 6.I think it’s a positive for the “D” to be in a position of having to catch up with the “O”. 7. with that thought in mind, we couldn’t have a better 1st. game to open with than Okla. St. because their “O” is almost all returning and our “D” will have to ready in a hurry. BadgerDawg, I’ve taken up enough space for now but I have some more reasons for my thoughts about ‘07….later

I don’t know about the NC, but there are enough unknowns on the Bulldogs to not exclude them from SEC title talk. An imported OL, Moreno, the batch of redshirts. Hell the simple adjustment of receivers catching the ball would have been good for some wins last year.

Don’t underestimate LSU and their QB situation. Matt Flynn look good finishing up the season the year before when Russell was hurt. Plus they have that other kid that was highly touted. I don’t think they will be hurting much if any at all. As for South Carolina, when the real SC Steve becomes OC they might win. Steve Tanneyhill that is. More visors get destoyed in Columbia this year and more priceless sour lemon photo ops than chances of winning the East.

When everybody starts hyping the “talent” at UT we all better look out for a roller coaster season. Fragile Ainge will have to hold up to a pounding this year.

Altamaha, don’t worry about me, I have no problem giving props to the guys who’ve been alive longer and know more than me. You and Buck and Somoan seem to be “The Guys” here on the blog. I learned at least that much from blogging during bball season. BuLLdawg seems to know a lot as well, but he seems kind of unbalanced. Kind of scary. As it is, I’ll come hard what I think, like I did during bball season. And as long as titothebear stays far away from here (I exposed him as a Bug on the Falcons blog), then we should all be okay and get along.

SEC, dude, declare an allegiance. I’m guessing you’re a Floridiot, but that’s just a guess. Dude, you’re the only one who seems obsessed with calling Matthew the “Chosen One.” We’re not saying that. What we are saying is Turdblow can’t buy the kind of experience that Matthew got last year, and he certainly can’t practice it. Also, the Dawgs had no problem stuffing him as a running back, so if you take that weapon from him, I feel confident that the other teams in the SEC will learn from that and I’m sorry, but a “pure” spread option offense, like the egotastic Meyer wants to run, will NOT work in the SEC. Meyer would do best to continue as he did with Leak and bring in a lot of different offensive philosophies in order to keep offenses off balance. Using a “pure” spread, and lining Turdblow in the shotgun before every snap is going to do nothing but cause SEC LBs to lick their chops. Yeah, he’ll beat Missy St. But he won’t beat LSU. He won’t beat Auburn. He won’t beat Tennessee. And he won’t beat us. Not consistantly. If Meyer wants to continue to win at FU, he needs to abandon his ego, and not install the spread alone.

But I hope he does. Cause I can’t wait to see Turdblow get crushed by SEC defenses.

“Stafford is over-rated”? “Stafford will have trouble with blitzes”? You’re confusing him with Brandon Cox. Stafford’s pocket poise was remarkable for a true freshman and will be even better this year. Stay out of your parents’ liquor cabinet.

The key to UGA will be the defense, and I think everyone’s public comments following the G-Day game made that clear. The offense will be fine (see, e.g., 2007 Peach Bowl performance against top defense in country).

While I admit UF, LSU and Bama will bring excellent defenses into every game this year, their ability to score remains to be seen. UGA and SC will be the opposite - they will try to outscore folks (unless we have some sleepers like Brandon Miller who step up). UT (God it hurts me to say this) is probably the most balanced team, with their only question mark being Ainge, who can be inconsistent and will always have injury concerns. AU is the most inconsistent but still one of the most talented teams in the country.

For the Dawgs, I fear this coming season will bear a strong resemblance to 1992, where we had a stud QB, a stud runner (Moreno) and an ability to score, but a defense that let down at the most critical times (UT and UF). That was a 10-2 season but no shot at the SEC title game.

I can only make one prediction - no one will emerge from the SEC undefeated and it remains the toughest and strongest conference in the country. I think folks are finally putting down the Big 10 Kool-Aid and giving us our respect.

Bugs, stay off this board. There has to sci-fi web site you would enjoy more.

Matthew…I declared an allegiance in an earlier post and that allegiance is to Alabama. But because of that, it doesn’t mean I cannot be a fan of other players in the confernce. You are right, TEBOW doesn’t the experience that Stafford does. What he got was a good year learning the UF system and some critical game time experience. It is true whether you choose to believe me or not. He is also a good talented, athletic kid who has a bright future. It is amazing, before last season, Stafford was talked about being the next great QB at UGA before he even started a game and but if you say that about TEBOW at UF, you shoot the idea down. And how do you know the spread won’t work in the SEC. What is the last team you saw run a spread option offense. With the right QB and the right athletes, it can work. You will see first hand next year. I dont know whether or not he will be able to beat LSU, AU or whoever. I say that because these teams have actually been able to beat UF. Hell, BAMA has won 3 of the last 4 against UF. All I do know is, every year UGA fans talk about how UF cannot beat them and then every year it is the same result. You guys have won 2 out of the last 15. I could start at QB for UF and probably beat UGA. I saw it writting in a post above that UF has not beated UGA by more than 14 points or score more than 14 points agianst UGA. Who cares. They still won! Until you actually beat them, all the talk is irrelevent. UGA fans do their talking on here and players do it on the field. For well over a decade, UF has been talking a little louder!!!

Columbus Dawg, disagree on a couple of things:

1) TV deals: of course, ESPN is going to ignore(somewhat) the SEC, just like CBS ignores (somewhat)every other conference. They are focusing on the teams that they get ratings off of, but they don’t want to completely ignore the others and lose the audience. Why is the Tech blog dormant on here? Why was there never one for Georgia Southern? Because it’s in the AJC’s interest to devote time and space to things that people care about.

2) I don’t think you can say that teams are afraid to play the SEC any more than the SEC is afraid to play other teams. Only Tennessee generally plays a pretty good out of conference schedule, with at least one game against a good team(this year only one, the other three are dogs.) I don’t see us begging Texas or Michigan for a home and home. In reality, neither team wants it. Teams want home games, and playing big boys isn’t the way to get there. For what its worth, nobody plays tough out of conference schedules consistently, but some try a little more than others. Last year’s OSU-game was a fluke, those kind of games almost never happen.

MOC…That one is very easy to explain. Last year, Stafford had the benefit of a good play caller in Richt. Wilson had to deal with the play calling of Mike “Darby Up the Middle” Shula. I think he had a played called..”Ok..run it again”. If you look at Stats, JPW was better than Stafford on Passing Yards, Total offense, and efficiency. On top of that, you had DJ Hall #5 in Receptions per game and #3 in yards per game, where no UGA players were on the list. I think the main benefit comes down to good coaching and Stafford had there and JPW didn’t. With good coaching, I think JPW could be a 1st team all SEC QB in his senior year(season after next).

austindog….Too early to make a prediction but based on what I know of both teams, I expect a shoot out. Our offense will be able to score on your defense. You guys, based on what I have read, have a lot of holes. We return all but Ken Darby (who did little last year) and our 2 FB’s which could have a big impact. We return Hall, Brown, Oakley and Stover at WR and our entire OL. The saying you are only as good as your worst player was proven at RT. Capps is no longer the starter and I expect it to stay that way. Our D, like yours, is a question mark. Saban is making a lot of changes and trying to build depth on our front 7. Our DB’s are pretty good so I am not worried there.

While I am not bold enough to make predictions, I will say, I like our chances at home! It will be good to be playing UGA again.

Dogs go 7-5 at best…. don’t forget nobody can catch the ball on the entire team! Unless Stafford can catch his own pass, there is no chance! Nice D in spring by the way!!! NOT!

SEC Football,

Sorry, the correct answer is…the Dawgs win!

It should be an interesting matchup, hopefully it’ll get picked up nationally. I think because the game is scheduled in Sept Bama won’t be fully settled in with the new coaches and that’ll give UGA the advantage. Lotta unknowns on both teams.

Lets see, successful SEC college coach dominates the competition but is lured to the NFL where he is mediocre at best. He is then hired back to the SEC in the same division but at a different school. The fans at his new school associate themselves with this coach’s past titles as if these titles were their own.

Repeat.

The only thing I would add is that neither coach has had or will have anywhere near the same success as they are now at schools where the recruiting is not as good.

A UT fan talking trash…funny.

We thought everyone in Tennessee used the bathroom outside, that’s why we shut down the other half of the bathrooms when you guys come to town. We’re trying to be more hospitable to your kind.

Your coach will be writing more apology letters to the season ticket holders in the near future. I don’t recall Georgia going 3-8.

Alright all you stafford lovers, he has had a few decent games nothing spectacular. He has to still prove he can make it through a COMPLETE season without getting frustrated and pressing passes into the secondary. UGA will be improved tremendously on offense, and there are still questions about the defense. UGA will compete for the East but i dont think the defense will get them to the SECCG. UF, Tenn, Aub, UK all possible losses but i say they win atleast half of those four. As for the Tech game, Its at tech this year. Tech fans are feeling really good with their new QB, almost the whole defense returns, along with their line so no easy game by any means. If tech turns on its offense UGA could be screwed with Techs defense behind them, but if Stafford proves he can put up more than a touchdown or two it will be a great game again. UGA is looking at a better season and better bowl but no Championships.

Mike, obviously you are another hopeful Bammer fan. You talk about Georgia like Alabama is a national powerhouse. Those days are long gone. People talk about how Georgia fans constantly still talk about Herschel. Alabama fans are still desperately hold onto the days of Bear Bryant. Alabama for some reason expects a national championship every year when what they should be doing is focusing on making a bowl game. Alabama has to go out and lure a coach like Saban into town as a one year fix all effort. A coach that is committed to nothing but himself and his career. He will gone within 4-5 years and the next “national championship” coach will be suckered into to going to Tuscaloosa. Before you start knocking Georgia you need to examine your average program first. Next time just say you are an Alabama fan instead of dancing around it. I don’t blame you though I wouldn’t want to admit it either. Good luck crossing your fingers this year. You can’t buy SEC championships you have to earn them on the field. I’m just glad my quarterback isn’t John Parker Wilson. GO DAWGS!!!

Matthew At The SLC- You are in college so how many times to you remember UGA beating UF in your lifetime? Once? Twice? Save the smack talk for Ga Tech.

Tebow has a role this past year to which he did an excellent job. That has nothing to do with his ability to be a full time QB. I know HS is not the same as college but it is the only apples to apples comparison that we can make. Just wondering, who has more PASSING yards and TD PASSES in HS? Tebow or Stafford?

GatorFan, I’ve never said will or won’t. Just that we have a good chance, and I really love our chances against Turdblow. I’d feel less sure if Leak were there, but I don’t fear Turdblow. As far as anyone goes, Bammy fans are the absolute last bunch of fans that need to be talking smack anywhere. Talk about an AVERAGE to BELOW AVERAGE team in the last 6 years. That’s something that cannot be said about Georgia.

Also, UTidiotATL, dude, when’s the last time a person has said “Not” and it was either, a) funny, or b) cool? Dude, stop watching the “Full House” reruns and dating yourself. I’m thinking you’re about 35, and when you were 20, people said “not.” It’s one of those things you’ve kept in your vocabulary that just prooves how uncool you are. And dude, what you said happened last year. As in, well, last year. The Vandy game you can blame on Joe T III, and trust me, I do. And remember, Mr. Volidiot, if we based the next year on the past year, then that means Tennessee must not have been very good last year, right? Because two years ago, they sucked. But here’s the real question, why the hell am I arguing logically with a Volidiot? You probably have no way to comprehend the simple logic I’m using to tear apart your ignorance. Get a life, and get a new vocabulary, UTATL. Oh yeah, talk about embarrassing… how is it that the “awesome” Vols embarrassed the SEC by getting their butts handed to them by an overrated Big 11 team? How about y’all take care of your business before you talk trash. And oh yeah, just like he owns the Bugs, Coach Mark Richt owns Fat Phil and the Volidiots. I’ll take 4-2 every time. And if you think we’re going to finish 7-5, then you really are an ignorant, backwoods, mountain hick from rocky flop.

As a Florida grad and fan I think the Gators are going to have a tough time getting out of the East and back to Atlanta. Too many holes on defense and I think the offense will be a little unsteady at the beginning of the season. I think UGA will be fine if their O-line can give Stafford enough time. UT ought to be good again with Ainge back for another year under Cutcliffe. USCw and UK are wildcards in my opinion, but could be pretty decent too. Heck, even Vandy is decent. The East is just a beast this year….

I would trade our 3 National championships in 365 days for their one in 1980.

You are going on another time and another place MY FRIEND. Alabama fans are praying they have a coach that will win. It’s not a guarantee. His devotion is not to Alabama- it’s to Nick Saban. Whatever is best for Nick Saban. Alabama is a place where coaches go to fail because of the high demands placed on them and the short timeline they have. Nick Saban was your last hope and every Alabama fan knows it. GO DAWGS.

Ok, here is my unsolicited opinion. I went to the G day game and the one thing that happened that no one is talking about is there was not a single dropped pass. Every catchable pass was caught. Kris Durham shined. Mikey Henderson looked good. Stafford looked comfortable. Everyone knows that defense is the question. And while I’m sure it won’t be our strong point, players will step up like they do every year. As far as predictions, Tennessee’s should be strong. Georgia will be solid, and Florida will still be Florida. I don’t think anyone thought they would do what they did last year and it just goes to show you that you have to wait and see. But I’m excited to find out. Go Dawgs!

We have leadership coming back on the D also. The O will be solid AND consistent. Consistently good at that. Don’t worry about those 13 INTs because that was a kid learning. Apparently he learned a lot by evidence of our run at the end of the season. Sure a lot of that was defense but he took advantage when needed. Looking forward to another year of banter.

Brooks…While what you say makes some sense, Nick Saban was hired because he has proven himself as a good coach who can win. He won at Toledo, Michigan State and LSU. He is also recognized as one of the best recruiters in the country. Take what he did this year in 4 weeks. Took a top 25 Class which Shula had and made it a top 10 per Rivals. There is no denying his ability as a coach. You can believe what you want about him personally because what you or I think is meaningless. He has assembled an experience staff who are good recruiters. We are getting looked at by some of the best players in the country because of our coach.

Now basically every sports writer and tv sports analyst/reporter has said that Saban WILL WIN at Alabama. I guess I am going to go with that and his past record instead of listening to someone who sees college football through red and black glasses!! And once again…ROLL TIDE!!

I have lived in Georgia since 1965 and have been watching the football team since before most of the respondents herein were born. The odd thing about Georgia, when they have had a good coach, like Coach Dooley or Coach Richt, is that they always win more games than they lose. Always. Even when the out of conference teams sneak up on them and beat them, as they did in 1979, when I was a first year law student in Athens, they still seem to rise to the occasion against the SEC teams. In 1979 they came close to winning the SEC championship, even though they had a horrendous year overall. I don’t see why 2007 should be any different. The key is to beat the teams you are supposed to beat and sneak up on a few you are not supposed to beat.

I too applaud Mr. Evans for this progress. Colorado was not a cupcake game when it was scheduled. Louisville could be as close to major NC game as we’ll ever have. I think at worst it’s like playing Tech-caliber twice. I wish we’d just go back to playing Clemson every year and occasionally adding a big time game, but then you get the home scheduling problems.

By Hunk Erdown

Some big differences between this year and last year:

We know who the QB is gonna be. The offense can be formed around him. The WR’s will have plenty of time to be familiar with timing and the velocity of his arm. The Falcons had no chance of being successful with Schaub backing up Vick. If Vick is going to be the man your Offense is formed and trained around, the back up should be similar in style, or he has very little chance of success. Last year’s UGA starters were trained to play with JoeT3 at QB, then asked to play for someone who’s velocity and style was as different as night and day. Now they have had time to adjust.

The Offensive Coordinator, while new in his title, is not anything to be compared to a program bringing in someone from outside the system. Bobo has been groomed for this position and is more than ready to take over the reins.

The field position game and special teams, especially field goal team, will be crucial in the SEC this year. There will be a lot of close games. Secondary to this is the punting team, field position is huge in the SEC and will be critical this year.

Big question marks for the defense…

I agree with BuLLdawg on the red-shirting thing. We have entered a new era in this regard, and UGA better quickly understand this or we will suffer for many years for the decisions being made now. As someone who has had the experience of going into combat with boys barely out of High School, playing true freshmen is tough for me to accept. It is as simple as this: Play the best player at the position.

I think the opener is definitely better for the game and the fans. It draws interest from other parts of the country and not just the southeast. That being said, I do wish we were opening up with a better team but we do atleast play Florida State in late Sept.

Did anyone watch the same spring game I did? What I saw wasn’t a defense that was bleeding as much as an offense that was opperating at mid-season form. If you look at many of the pass plays the ball was placed where only the receiver could make a play on the ball. Also keep in mind how Stafford picked apart 3 top defenses including the number 1 defense in VT to end the season. Add to that Knowshon Moreno is obviously going to be a special player. As for the defense how about the two plays where Brandon Miller and Ellerbe came up the middle untouched? In a real game they both put the QB out for at least a series. Our D is young but there is more talent and speed than we’ve had in a long time. We also have a lot of talent that wasn’t even on the field-D.Goodman, N. Ward, TJ Gartrell, C.King, I.Troupe(if he doesn’t play BB),just to name a few. Before everyone gets too antsy about the Defense, take a look at Florida’s spring game last year, they had 50+ pts scored in their game and everyone thought their defense was going to be horrible as well, and like the Dawgs this year had quite a few new starters and untested young players as well. predictions: East UGA Tenn SC Florida Kentucky Vandy West LSU Aub Ole Miss Bama Ark Miss St UGA over LSU for the title.

Hunk ERdown, do you recall me posting and saying that Red Shirting the way we have know it the past is gone? Do you remember Chip posting back that I couldn’t change your mind? I missed BuLLDAWGS posts but is that being said now by others?…….Chip, if you get this far down, do you remember my prediction? That’s why I’m hoping that we put true freshman on the field in spot situations and use their talent. We don’t have many coming in at the skill positions but the few we do can contribute, IMO,.

You are correct, in fact i thought about you when I posted because I remember us talking about it. Obviously, I have changed my position on it since then. I wish it were where we could try to red shirt as much as possible, but as I said, we are in a new era and it is time to change with the times.

By Hunk Erdown

April 12, 2007 6:17 PM | Link to this

I know from experience that the one year difference in a freshman and a red-shirt freshman is huge. I know a lot of people disagree, but the mental and physical maturity, coupled with the extra practice and experience in that one year could be the difference in so many things for the player individually not to mention the team. But again, since the corner is being turned on the issue, there are some things that level it out. One thing is that if “everyone is doing it” then our freshmen are facing their freshmen. But if you could still recruit as successfully without having to start the freshmen, and you were playing players who were sophmore age and older against teams loaded with freshmen the results would be dramatic.

Just play the best player at each position, and don’t red-shirt someone who can help put up a “W”. Its the only way to go anymore.

Thanks Hunk ERdown, I’m glad you remembered. I think the way it’s going to work out is that a package of plays will be put in for the freshmen. Different of course but something to use their talent where we can. There is that big difference you refer to and we aren’t going to see red shirting go away by any means. An example could be, sorry I’ve forgotten his name, but the freshman who was recruited for B-Ball and switched to FB. Tall, lanky, outstanding speed and hands that everyone says can catch anything. Play every down? No, but put in a few time a game and it wouldn’t take but one good catch and from then on every time he came on the field the opposing defense would have to pay attention to him and maybe open up another play for us to run. Percy Harvin, the Reptile is going to be a great one and not every player will be of his caliber but boy was he effective last season. It’s early and we have a lot of red shirt sophs coming up but I’m still guessing we could see as many as 10 true freshmen get on the field in different ways.

Always an unrealistic UT and SC fan to respond. UT will not be involved in the race. They do not have the experience nor the depth. SC will spank them and probably Florida as well, so it is possible SC wins the East. However, if SC doesn’t somehow step up under Spurrier, Georgia will be the East representative. UGA is LOADED. The D will be fine, probably not as good as the ones 2-3 years ago. But there is NOT a single defense in the SEC that will stop Georgia’s offense. There will be some high-scoring games to some extent. I see Georgia with 10 wins, possibly more. Last year was a 10-win season had Coutu not gone down. Vandy and KY would have lost. But the offense was stagnant. Not any more! So my prediction is UGA or SC in the Dome. UT will lose 4-5 games, Florida at least 3. KY will pull off another upset, so will Vandy. SC will beat UT in Knoxville again, and UF could easily lose in Columbia again. Why?Spurrier is at his best late in the season when his team is playin for some kind of title. Doubting Mark Richt is really, truly STUPID (check his coaching record for a wake-up call).

Playing a true freshmen… I think it all depends on the maturity of a player. In some cases, you may have to play’em right away, it may due to lack of depth or injuries, whatever the case may be.

Which brings me to this question.

How did that 19 year old DT-Okoye from Louiville handled playing in the D-1 level at the age 16?

I didn’t realize how young this kid was, until I saw one of the Cardinals game on ESPN last season. And he will be the first teenager to be drafted to the NFL, prolly in the late first round. I think the first player that did it, was the center for the San Diego Chargers from Rice University. I’m not certain, but I think he was 20 yrs old when he enter the league. I can’t remember his name though. He played back in the very early 90’s.

So the bottom line is, it doesn’t matter how old you are, unless you are physically/mentally prepared! Now, it’s okay, we can agree/disagree.

SomoanDawg, we’re sying the same thing. Not every true freshmen by any means is going to be able to play his 1st year. Those who have talent that can be used and can handle it will be and they don’t have to be everydown players. I wonder if that point isn’t causing ome confusion in the conversation about playing TF. I think that people are thinking that they have to be full time players in order to be used and IMO that’s not true. One thing for sure is that Coaches ARE TELLING KIDS THEY CAN PLAY IN THEIR fy IF THEY CAN HANDLE IT AND THE KIDS ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD SO FAR. So if I read you correctly we’re on the same page.

Harry…I am a bit confused by your post. UGA had a sub par passing game last year and UT is a team that hung 50+ on you guys, but UT has no passing game? Ainge was one of the best QB’s in the league this year and going into his senior year I expect he will be the best QB in the SEC. UF will not be as bad as you think. They have been loading up on talent since Zook. UGA’s defense, as much as I hate to say it, won’t be able to stop opponents consistently from scoring which will lead to 4-5 losses.

As for the West…Not sure how you see Arkansas at #2. They will have their 3rd OC in as many years and their QB is just terrible. Teams will load the box (McFadden will still get his yards) and dare Casey Dick to throw the ball. They also lost several DB’s and their best pass rusher. LSU wins the west but BAMA or Auburn come in 2nd.

Bama makes a big run, South Carolina beats the Gators, Vols, Clemson, and Hogs, Tennessee gets blasted by 28 by Cal, then loses by 20 to Florida and 17 to the Dawgs, aaaand Georgia beats Oklahoma state by 30 points at home, and ends the season with a blowout in the beehive (filled with Georgia red). Georgia is 11-1 with the regular loss in Jax to the Gators, but Tim Tabeeboo and co. will lose to LSU, the Cocks, and Florida State.

Are you kidding me? More proof that Georgia fans are backwards. 2002 is a long time ago. Can anybody tackle on that team? (see spring game) The race in the east is going to come down ot UF and UT. South Carolina will be.. well south carolina and Georgia will beat a couple teams that shouldnt and loose to a couple they should.

Sorry to rant here, but I can’t take it any more. I am a Georgia graduate and a UGA sports (especially football) fan. Heck, I even worked for the Athletic Dept. as a student for the “Stadium Crew,” a group of student “slaves” who cleaned and prepped the facilities for sports events (football, basketball, gymnastics, and baseball). But what gets me is when fans write on boards or say on the radio “we” when referring to their beloved team. Come on guys, you’re not on the team. You’re not a coach. You are a fan. A slim minority of you even may have attended the college itself. Even that, in my my opinion, doesn’t give us the right to say “we!” “We” are just schmucks who devote so much of our time to watching, reading about and discussing “THEM.”

Teacher Man, If you pay taxes in the State of Georgia then you can say “WE”. Where do you think the money for the scholarships that allows these kids to go to school on comes from? That’s right TAX DOLLARS paid by every legal citizen. The most of the players wouldn’t be there otherwise. Likewise you can cheer for Tech or GSU or any other public institution if you don’t have an affiliation to a particular university.

Does anyone remember Spurrier lashing out at his team earlier this spring because the qb underperformed as a passer and the receivers couldn’t catch? I just don’t see them being a team that wins the East.

Same with Tennessee. Having your starting QB out for the whole spring is very crucial. I don’t think many people realize how important spring practice is. It pretty much sets the tempo for the team and establishes a timetable for coaches to work on certain things. Now, with Cutcliffe trying to install a no-huddle offense, they’re gonna have to work two times as hard to do it. And while Tennessee will have an experienced offensive line, the defense is very suspect, especially along the front. And the linebackers are average. Still, it’ll be a tough game at Neyland for the Dawgs, and we might even lose (hey, we lose at least one game a year that we’re supposed to win), but I still don’t think that means Tennessee will win the East.

And definitely not UF…but I’ve spent too much time already defending that stance.

And speaking of the no-huddle offense, does anyone remember the year that UGA ran it? I think it was in Richt’s first or second year, and Greene was a first-or second-year starter. We ran the no-huddle pretty efficiently and caught a lot of teams off-guard, particularly late in games.

Wonder why we got away from that? Anybody know?

As a dawg fan I am not going to disparage Tebow. His role last year was as a back up and he has two rings to show for it. It will be interesting this year to watch his maturation process.

Bulldog Nation: comprises mostly of folks who cannot gain entrance to UGA, or if they did gain entrance, blew their GPA during the first semester by spending too much time drinking, buying Oakley sunglasses and blue jean shorts.

Teacher Man is dead-on: most of these bloggers are comprised of folks who know nothing about D1-A football or academics, thus Bulldog Nation.

Tebow is much more advanced than Stafford or Cox in terms of reading the defense and connecting with his receivers. Tebow has the advantage of learning from a coaching staffing with a depth of knowledge and a defense that can stuff anyone in a heartbeat.

The problem with UGA is not Stafford, or Cox, but your defense places too much pressure on the QB’s, and UGA has failed to learn to build a program around defense. CMR is a great coach, but your Defensive Coor. needs to be reviewed.

first off matthew slc before you start talking like you know your stuff your numbers do not add up with your records and everything. You know that auburn and Florida play each other next year right???????? apparently not, must have missed that one. As far as your UGA prediction you must be on crack!!!!!!!! They are going to finish fourth in the SEC behind Tenn,fl,and ky. Mark my word ky will finish ahead of Georgia with a second straight win over the dawgs. The dawgs will ONCE AGAIN be overanked and overhyped and will ONCE AGAIN prove everyone wrong by having being just an average team at best.

Mike Bobo, glad you think he is. As I said there isn’t enough on Tebow as a STARTER in the SEC. Of course I don’t recall his passing stats from last season. Stafford on the other hand really proved himself at the end of last season. As far as coaches go my opinion is that CMR is probably one of the best if not best developers of QB’s in the country (of course Meyer is also) so I don’t see that Tebow has any special advantage there. Stafford’s advantage at this pont is that he took a lot of snaps LAST year and learned ALOT about being a full time QB in the SEC.

Tebow is a goofy lookin’ fullback with a huge nose, a goofy hop/wave/dance, and he looks like a typical Florida douchebag. Stafford was a better qb in the 9th grade than Tebow will ever be. I hope he continues to take the snap and run. I want him to get cracked a few more times when they play UGA. If we don’t turn the ball over 5 times in ‘07, we’ll beat them silly. We almost beat the mighty mighty d******* in ‘06 with a freshman qb and 5 turnovers.

Mike Bobo, have you been watching UGA play football for the past 5 years? If so, you must have been watching from another planet!! To say that UGA hasn’t ever built a program around defense is just plain wrong!! In fact, on last year’s team, the defense was the primary bright spots. Moses and Johnson at D-ends, Tony Taylor leading the linebackers and Paul Oliver and Tra Battle leading the secondary. They’re the reasons we beat the hell out of an Auburn team we had no business beating, and the reason Ga. Tech couldn’t do crap against us (besides the terrible play of Reggie Ball). To this day, I still don’t understand why Tony Taylor hasn’t gotten his due for the impact player he was. He led the team in interceptions AS A LINEBACKER and tallied around 85-90 tackles last season. Should’ve been All-SEC, in my opinion.

Also, Bobo, why do you think Richt was as confused as anyone that the offense had so much success this spring? It’s because the defense usually shines in the practices and G-Day game.

Want more proof? Every year, UGA has one of the top defenses in the SEC, along with LSU. Over the first five or so games last year, we were second in the SEC in points allowed and yards/game. And during the VanGorder years, we routinely put great defenses on the field. Seymour, Stroud, Tim Jennings, Jermaine Phillips, Boss Bailey, Arnold Harrison, Charles Grant, David Pollack, Odell Thurman (as much as I hate to admit it) are all part of the legacy of stellar defenses that UGA has had in the past 5-6 years, so how can you say we don’t build around defense? Go read a book or watch a game tape, dude.

And while you’re at it, maybe you should stop watching Tim Tebow’s high school games, and watch footage of last year’s UF games, where he almost always took snaps and ran into the 2-hole or the 3-hole. Doesn’t take much reading the defense to do that. Stafford, on the other hand, ran the TEAM for the majority of the season. If anyone has the edge, it’s him.

calling Tebow an “ignorant idiot redneck” is about as apropos as when some of you called Joe Noah the same— he who is fluent in three(3) languages,is a keen internationally knowledgeable student as well as a compassionate person and a greaat basketball player-but of course you can say anything here. Oh well there are some interesting and intelligent commentators here despite the blow-hards who can’t show enough respect for the kids to call them by correct name, kids who work so hard and so long for our entertainment for so little pay except for the few who will make it in the pros.

Noah is one of the ugliest sob’s to grace a basketball court in quite a while. That goes back to Dwayne Schnintzis (sp?). Noah is pretty good though. Gotta give him his due. I bet he gets his share of ragged out, tanning bed Florida girls.

Dawg4Life…I have to agree with you there. A lot of poeple want to talk about Stafford and the way he played at the end of the year but it was because of your defense, that you guys won the number of games that you did. The offense had very little to do with the win over VT. You D was stud in the 2nd half of that game.

Now, I have no idea what the problem is this year (at least in the spring). Seems to be a larger drop off than expected. I know the loss of Moses and Johnson will be felt big time. Seems the DL depth might be a little thin but I am speculating based on what I have ready. The one thing I do know, Brandon Miller is too slow to be LB in this league. I know many fans who agree with me there.

I dont understand why so many people want to discount Tim Tebow. While he doesnt have the experience that Stafford has, he did gain what I would consider valuable experience backing up Chris Leak and some good game time experience as well. UGA fans expected the world out of Stafford coming in as a true freshman but when other fans talk about Tebow being good, they are all idiots because he has no experience. Tim Tebow is going to be a good one. He has a lot more reliable target to throw to at UF and he fits Meyers system perfectly.

I am not casting stones at Tebow. I think it will be interesting to watch him as the first string QB. Can he match his hype? That is a legitimate question that really cannot be answered until a few games into the season. I don’t think he is an ignorant redneck. I think he is a very talented running QB and we will see if he has the same talent at passing this year. Most of his passing yards last year came against our mutual whipping boy, Western Kentucky. I know you Florida fans are as high on Tebow as we were on Stafford. That’s fine. Support your team and your players. That is what I expect from a fan.

By the time of the Jax party, Stafford and Tebow will have shown on the field what they are capable of doing. I look forward to that game this year as I do every year. See ya’ll by the river.

Trust me folks I hate losing to the gators as much as the next Dawg, but until we knock them off we are going to hear their crap on our own Blog. It’s Sucks. But I do give them credit for what they have done. OUCH That hurt.

However, I love the way our team is setting up for the next couple years. UT will be tough this year. I can’t knock Teebow because I have read about what he does off the field. He seems to be a stand up guy. Just have to see how he handles playing an entire game.

As for “Ramble On,” please, go back up under your sister’s skirt where you came from.

I doubt anyone is still checking out this particular blog, but here goes another of my 2 cents worth any way— a follow up to my comments about T. Tebow’s ‘s future as a college QB. As I said, I am a true gator hater and bleed red and black. My comments about T. Tebow are in fact based primarily on what I saw him do in hi school—be that a good indicator or not. I had never seen a h.s. QB move a team like he did. He is also (supposedly) a perfect fit for the type offense U. Meyer runs (successfully last year, and successfull at Utah, where he had a QB quite similar to Tebow). To make things worse,at least for us Dawgs that have to put up with all the obnoxious gators down here (I know, not all of you, but damn sure enough—just witness some of the child like posts to these blogs), Tebow is right out of the Danny Weurful mold. A fan or mother could ask for no more! Personally I love college football, especially SEC, and h.s. I look forward to seeing the their guy vs. our guy with great anticipation. I like to hope that Stafford’s experience puts him a step ahead.(I only hope it can play out that “our guy” has a supporting cast at least near equal to “their guy!”). This is to me what makes the sport so enjoyable—watching the kids come up thru h.s., thru the recruiting process, and on to college careers. I’m just glad to be lucky enough to live in the greatest conference in the land!! GO DAWGS!! If anyone ever comes to Lake Wales, Fla, just look for the big Georgia flag hanging out front—it’ll be the only one in town!

SEC Top 4 Prediction: 1. Auburn 2. Florida 3. Georgia 4. South Carolina

I Know A Top Four Is Awkward, But I Think These Are The Only Legitamate Teams For Next Year.. Auburn Should Be Siked About Beating the 2006-2007 National Champs. Hopefully My Gators Will Prove To Be #1, But Inexperience Will Be A Killer On A Team Loaded With Talent. Georgia Will Turn Heads, Especially In The Backfield, I Don’t Think There Will Be Any One Back That Starts Every Game. Quarterback Will Be Way More Experienced As Well. As For South Carolina, Lets See What The Wolfpack Can Do.

Top 3 National Champion Predictions: 1.WEST VIRGINIA!!! The Offense Is Going To Be Unstoppable..

1. Southern Cal, Is Pete Carrol And His Squad Of Trojans Ever Out Of The Running??

2. Texas, Yeah I Know What Your Thinking, But Mack Brown, Lima Swede And Colt McCoy Make A Beautiful Combination Don’t You Think??

Yet I remind you UF and UT fans that since the arrival of Spurrier. Your win/lost record against Carolina is 1-1. And I predict that one of you will will be 1-2 at the end of 07. As for UGA always a tuff one to call, but I forsee a upset this year. As for winning the SEC east, I say it comes down to the winner of the UGA and USC game.
