UGA blog finds new home
Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.
Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.
Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.
See at the new place!

Are Dogs’ linebackers getting it done?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You may have noticed some of the other outlets that cover Georgia reporting a “shakeup” at linebacker for the Bulldogs. I didn’t run with that and here’s why.
Coach Mark Richt was asked after Wednesday’s practice if they had been shuffling the lineup at linebacker. Following is that exhange:
Richt: “We’ve been rolling them around, yeah.”
Q: Is there a possible change to the starting lineup there?
“There’s always the chance of that. [Akeem] Dent got some work with the ones today and [Darryl] Gamble got a little more work and did a good job today and we still have the ability to move Dannell [Ellerbe] from Mike to Will. We’re just continuing to move people around and trying to get them as much experience as we can, making sure we create as much depth as we can.”
Q: Is Miller giving you guys what you need at Sam?
A: “He’s doing all right; he’s doing all right. He’ll be fine.”
Dent, a redshirt freshman who had been backing up Miller at strongside linebacker, worked with the No. 1 defense Wednesday. So did Gamble, another redshirt freshman, who had been third-string weakside linebacker behind Darius Dewberry and Rennie Curran. Richt also praised Marcus Washington, who’s been Dannell Ellerbe’s backup at middle linebacker.
“We’ve been very pleased,” Richt said. “He’s gotten his weight down to a really good level and he actually moves pretty good.”
Here’s what I think (and it’s just a hypothesis since I wasn’t able to get Coach Jancek or any of the linebackers after practice, and won’t be able to today): The Bulldogs are getting ready to play Western Carolina. Therefore, they’re getting the backups ready to play a lot.
That said, Richt clearly was not happy with the way the defense performed at the end of the game against South Carolina. When he made the controversial decision to kick the field goal late in the game, he did so with the expectation his defense would stone the Gamecocks and get the ball right back to Georgia’s offense. But with South Carolina in an obvious run-the-clock situation, it gashed the defense for 15, 12 and 11 yards on the first three plays, all rushes That forced the Dogs to start taking their timeouts and, eventually, they finally got the Gamecocks stopped, but with only 80 seconds remaining.
Maybe Georgia’s defense was just gassed and that’s why they’re trying to create some more depth this week. Either way, it played pretty good most of the game but definitely blew it there.
So you tell me: Are the Dogs getting it done at linebacker? Was that a coaching gaffe in that Georgia did sell out and bring the house against the run on that last possession? Or are they simply working in some backups for a nothing game?

Coach Richt definitely needs to make some changes at LB. My first preference would be to can Jancek. We seem to recruit studs every year but they all underachieve in Athens (the same could be said about our WR’s). The main problem with our LB’s is that they CANNOT shed blocks. If you watched the S.Carolina game, you saw Darius Dewberry get manhandled all night. That did not happen in the days of Greg Bright, Brandon Tolbert, Tony Gilbert, Will Witherspoon, Tony Taylor and others we have had in Athens. I say try Curran, Washington, or whoever else we can. The current group is weak.

One question? Why do the Trade School fans actually believe they are better than UGA. Don’t they realize that they haven’t beaten UGA, without cheating ,since 1990, and before you Nerds go poking your chest out with the 3 wins in the late 90’s , do remember those included (of all things) academically ineligible players, so pipe down Trade school fans, leave the big boy football to UGA.

What is WhiteandGold’s problem. Sure, Tashard Choice is a very good running back, but he had his chance last year as Ball and Johnson were not producing. He already has an L in the W/L column against the Dogs.
A lot of football left to be played WhiteandGold. Be a good boy and go over to Tech Blog if you want to sound off. See you in November sport.

White and Gold,
Isn’t this the same talk we heard last year after we lost to Kentucky? I know we’re young and we absolutely did not look good on Saturday, but you guys beat an attrocious ND team who just decided to start a true freshman. Oh and by the way didn’t you guys beat a talented Auburn team a few years ago that invoked talk of a national title. Get a grip dork, it’s Chan Gailey football and so far it hasn’t worked out against us yet.

We rarely blitz our Lb’s. We only use our down linemen. It drives me crazy to have all this so called “speed” and it seems we play prevent the whole game. Other teams all blitz us on 3rd and long and disrupt our QB. We play prevent and allow 15-20yd passes for first downs. I can’t take it anymore. This happened all last year too. The only designed blitzes I see are the corner blitzes or an occasional safety blitz. Besides that it’s 4 down linemen.

To blame the defense for 3 plays when the offense had 56 minutes to score a td prior to that is scape goating.Know doubt those running plays should have been countered sooner but the loss was an offensive failure not defensive.As for moving Ellerbe from the mike…HELL NO !!why in the name of Odell Thurman and Tony Taylor would that even be considered ? He is the only guy I’ve seen with the lateral movement and recognition to play there.I think both Dewberry and Miller are more natural DEs than LBs.Miller especially looks out of position.I’ve always thought you should line him up on the outside and say…sic-um!!

Losing to South Carolina (or Vandy or Kentucky for that matter) doesn’t change the fact that Mark Richt absolutely owns Georgia Tech. The one thing we Dawgs fans can count on as we play a touch conference schedule, and lose some heartbreaking games along the way, is that we get to end the season with yet another win against Tech.

Say what you like about the defense. I expect if our defense allows only 16 that our offense should be able to generate enough points to win the game. I think you are all pointing fingers in the wrong direction. We have a lot of youth on offense. At times there can be 3-4 first year SEC lineman playing at the same time and a quarterback with only 8 starts. Cut em’ some slack.

I think that the moves are reflective of a couple things:
1) The linebackers have played well, but not well enough. I saw too many times where they were letting blockers get into their legs which is an unforgivable sin at this level of football.
2) The defense has to have, not good, but exceptional LB play. The reason is that our ends are undersized. They are fine on pass rush but in running situations there is a good chance that they are going to be phyisically dominated which puts the burden on our linebackers to shed a blocker and make tackles. Otherwise, they are running wild in the secondary, we have to cheat safeties, and then we killed with the long ball. This is why the emphasis is there this week. They know that when Marcus Howard lines up vs. Alabama’s soon to be all-world OT, Andre Smith next week he is going to get run over and somebody has to defeat the FB/OG and make the stop. If we don’t get someone with attitude in the LB positions we will have a problem beating ‘Bama, because they have a couple of good backs who can exploit us if we don’t get this straightened out.

They scored 16 pts.!!! If the offense would have thrown and caught better, that last stop would not have mattered. Our offense played like girls the whole 1st half. We were at home. They bullied us all over the place on the O line. We were NOT ready to play even though SC players were running their mouths all week about “clocking” us. If we keep “not scoring” like that and no one becomes the “Alpha Dog” talked about, no amount of D talk will amount to a hill of beans.

No doubt, our LB’s are not of the same caliber as other “D” schools like Va Tech, LSU, Ohio and Penn State. BUT, we have had one of the highest ranked D’s in the land over the years, so something is right. I can only imagine the day that we have 6’6” 270 DE’s and 6’3” 250 LBs that all run 4.4 40’s and can crush folks. Until then….we’ll work with what we’ve got and hope they all play above their “stats” like Pollack! Would like to see Miller at DE. I love Reshad Jones bringing back the Fear Factor on D.

If you told me before the game that we were going to hold SC to 16 points, I would have chalked it up as a win. Then, if you told me were were going to have more total yards than SC, I would have chalked it up as a big win. We played a lackluster game and still won everywhere but the scoreboard. (Yes, the only place that counts) But lets not scrap the whole program, blame every coach, and question every player. CHILL. Every Dog has his day.

White and Gold,
With respect to the UGA/Yech series the only stat that matters is the series record. You are woefully behind. If you go from 40 years ago to present and look at the series it is even worse for the urine-colored bugs of North Avenue. My suggestion is to be happy with the 1 or 2 wins per decade (you’d better hurry up on this one) because that is the best you are ever going to do. Of course, if you’d use what is potentially your greatest asset in these football games, Tech woman, you might do alright. Those are some ugly, mean looking people. I think our guys might turn and run if confronted with Tech’s 11 finest beasts. I’d give it some thought if I were the AD. Hell, they ain’t any good for anything else except maybe some “before” pictures for plastic surgeons or weight loss programs.

Brandon Miller and DD have not been getting it done IMO. You rarely see them make any big plays and that’s unheard of at UGA. We have had so many playmaking linebackers such as tony taylor, bailey, etc.. In that SC game I saw Miller time and time again get blocked and he couldn’t shed his blocker. DD was in the wrong place a few times and completely overran plays.
We need better outside play.

Our linebackers are playing pretty well. We are not getting th edomination form Miller that we have been expecting for four years. There was no reason to believe we might finally get it this year, but we all did. They are not being helped by having a converted, under-sized pass rushing defensive end start. Nor are they helped by the fact that the other defensive end is undersized as well. We should think about playing one of our stud DTs at defensive end on obvious running plays. Rennie Curran should see the field. I went to the same high school, the guy is always around the ball, put up ungoldy tackle numbers, and is really fast.

Accepting for the last drive, I thought the linebackers played well in coverage and against the run. I like what I see from Miller, but of course he can be better. Ellerbe has seemed to be playing well. I expect more from the Weakside though, so maybe that’s where the changeup is coming.
Actually, for me, the secondary is the weak unit on this team. Evans got abused. Plain and simple. He played with no technical ability. He played the man not the ball, leading to some drive extending penalties and missed opportunities to catch interceptions. I think if Evans wasn’t already hurt, he’d be getting replaced this game and against Bammy.
And to the idiot Tech fan… Who the hell have YOU beaten this year?
That’s right… no one.

NASCARfan - great point about the corners - I just don’t see how you can give away so much height and still be effective - regardless of how great an athlete you might be…and there’s no way they are anything near 5’11”. Must say I love this Rashad Jones kid, however -perhaps our LB’s ought to watch some tape of him.
Thanks a bunch for the topic, Chip. I’ve been pretty harsh on the LB’s, part because I haven’t been able to get anybody to take their finger away from Stafford and Bobo. We have lost 5 SEC East games in a row now, and the front seven has been nowhere in each of those losses. Other teams run whenever they want to. I bought into the shuffle players idea in the offseason when all I was told was that we would now have speed…out with Taylor and Jackson and in with Ellerbe and the Dew…well…maybe it ain’t the players. Love Richt…Loved Richt AND Vangorder better…

Ellerbe is the only UGA LB that has played well in both games this year. Miller and Dewberry are the achilles’ heel of the Georgia defense, much more so than the lack of production the Dawgs have received from the likes of say — Rod Battle. I’d love to blame Miller and Dewberry’s less than stellar performances on an undersized, inexperienced front four, but the simple fact remains that the more pressing problems for these two are not 300 lb. lineman driving off the ball onto them, but instead 180 lb. WRs who cut block them on each and every perimeter play. Watch these two during the Alabama and Tennessee games - they refuse to put their hands out to keep these little WRs off and instead let the offensive player into their bodies each and every time, resulting in cut-block after cut-block. The result is that either Ellerbe scrapes over or the secondary comes up to make the play, albeit an extra five or ten yards every time. Bottom line, these guys are frustrating to watch, and if they can’t get the job done, then let the younger guys like Dent and Gamble play. If nothing else, they can take a cut-block just as well as the current starters.

Also, I’ve read in the AJC awhile ago that Bugland was once home to an Al Qaida operative who was targeting Washington, DC and Atlanta for an attack. Care to comment?
Dude, sorry about my grammar, but if you’re a Bug, it seems to me that you have far more issues to worry about than my grammar mistake.
Like how your team has beaten no one and is already full of itself.
Like how your fans are so pathetic they can’t sell out a 50,000 seat stadium in a metro area of over 4 million people.
Like how your Dean of Admissions doesn’t care to do background checks on incoming international students or in-state foreign students. I mean, excuse my lack of political correctness, but I don’t give a crap about profiling… profiling SAVES LIVES when it comes to terrorism. I bet some Virginians wished that the faculty at VaTech used a little profiling for dangerous, unbalanced tendancies in their students based upon actions and writings.
Shouldn’t Bugland care about who they admit into a school which speciallizes in many of the skills that terrorists most want to learn?

chip,the d has played well enough to win,30 points in two games,the offense looked lost saturday.it was like thay didn’t really have a game plan,just trying different things to see what worked.usc covered us pretty well in the man to man and keep a lot of men in the box to stop the run.they blitzed at times,but usually kept some guys at home to defend the screens and draws that the dawgs are so fond of.the man to man worked so well they were able to sneak a safety into the middle to play “center field”i’ll give their dc credit,he game planned us well.as for richt moving lbs around,he is looking for ssomething out of this lb corps that’s obvious.i think you are right about his dissapointment after the field goal,he expected the d to hold or he would have gone for the fourth and fifteen.i agree with nascar,the linebackers haven’t played badly,but richt is looking for something else.maybe a leader to make the plays that fire the team up,someone to cause a fumble,get a sack or an interception,a big play guy to get the ball back.

The big news hidden in the lead-in to me was that CMR was actually doing some hands on stuff with the defensive backers. Stretching his legs a bit as HC instead of having to spend all his time with QBs and the offense, like the past. I love it!

Buck——Ditto on the Bug infestation.NASCARfan and the many who seem to dislike Martinez’s pass defense.I checked on how they played last season.The worst game they had was against Tenn.They gave up just over 260 yds and 2 tds.They held Tech and Auburn to around 40 yds each.They also held Vandy,Florida and Kentucky in check (3 strong passers).Martinez teams play excellent strategic defense.If he had a coach to add the fire and pop the defense could be as bad (the good kind) as they come.

The defense stayed in that nickel package most of the night. Bobo came in and opened up the offense to make things more interesting. My question is why Willie can’t do the same on the other side of the ball? Right now our defense is an OC’s wet dream. They have got to find some leaders or a leader that is willing to step up. Maybe that starts with Mr. Martinez. I don’t get paid to make decisions on the field, so of course this is all speculation on my part. Things will get better, we just need to come out fired up and stay focused, and the rest will take care of itself.

I’m glad CMR is doing everything he can to bolster the linebacker play. The coaches ought to always look for the best rotations and combinations for different game scenarios. They backups need as much experience as they can get so nothing is lost when substitutions or injuries take place. My concern is not as much with the defense as it was the offense’s inability to convert on third down. If we had converted a few more of those and kept the offense on the field longer, SC would not have had the opportunities to score 16 points.
I agreee with Dorsey Hill, the greatest bulldog fan in history, that we had better have exceptional play from both sides of the ball when we get to the heart of the schedule. I still have confidence these guys will get better and better.

Hello there Dark Corner, looks like we will finally get some rain, good news.

Not trying to bash any player, I love them all; however, not once have I heard one of the coaches come out and say he is doing outstanding or slinging people around. Hope he gets nastier, the NFL will certainly be watching and he has stated he’s looking to go pro.

A-ville, I live in Easley in and amongst a whole mess of Clemson fans. My UGA flag on the porch kind of stands in contrast to all the tiger paws around these parts. As far as the comments, I was speaking in geneeral terms over the past 4 games from last season till this past week. The offense opened up the play book a little more after Bobo took over. WM has historically been slow to adjust his defenses during the game if the need arises. When his defensive game plan is dead on things have clicked fairly smoothly IMO.
Odd Job, I am a grown man who treats others with respect. Most of the comments on here are speculation and opinion. You see sir, this is a blog and a forum to talk Georgia football. I can pull stats off the internet all day if I choose to. My comments about Miller are not mine alone and are derived from the history of UGA linebacker greats that were constantly lauded by coaches and peers alike as having a killer instinct and incredible hustle. I in no way am trying to degrade anyone on the team, including coaches. These are just my opinions, as most of my entries include IMO. If all we do is come on here and regurgitate stats it would be a pretty boring blog. Save your anger for the Bugs and Gators and those that boo at the games and understand that the all us fans have opinions that may not fit your mold but are offered as a source of discussion, not derision.

Come on fans, get back on task and help me with the question at hand. What am I supposed to do to beat this high school team we are playing Saturday. Spurrier showed them how to beat us and they might just do it. I am thinking about pulling back the play calling from Bozo this week and see if we can score six points at one time for a change. My boys have been watching too many films of schools where there is REAL tradition and I guess they were beginning to think that you could only score three points at one time. What really scares me is that Michigan will still be undefeated in their conference after this weekend.
Help me, help me.
I am scared we could be 1-2 and 0-1 after this weekend and havent played anyone yet either. I guess Florida will have to carry the banner for us again this year.

I wish I had the brains and know how or the ability to wave a magic wand and make everything better for your daughter and family, but I don’t. Like some of the others in here, I DO have the ability to fall on my knees and talk to God, who has all power. I have done that and will continue to. The difference in me and a lot of these people in here is that I am not a real good person, I make a lot of mistakes and do a lot of things I shouldn’t. But because of that it means that I pray a lot, because I need God to forgive me all the time, and He does. He is very merciful to me, and it seems like when I talk to him and ask him to, he forgives me and gives me a clean slate. I hope everyone in here is able to talk to God and exercises their ability to. My kids are healthy, but I just don’t see how anyone could try to raise kids without having God in their corner to help them. I can only go so far with them, He can be with them all the time.

I want to get back to the original question. The problem on the last drive was the scheme. If you were watching the game closely you would have noticed that we were in a nickel package in a situation where South Carolina was obviously going to run it. That was simply a breakdown in the coaching scheme. Martinez finally pulled the extra DB off the field and brought Miller back in the game after we had already gotten gashed on 3 plays. We should have been playing a base defense in that situation. Sure the lb’s didn’t play up to their entire potential, but they played more than adequate and the the whole D had us in a position to win. It was just a bad scheme down the stretch there by Martinez that had us out of position.

No shane, the brains of this outfit ain’t none of me…I’m just the red- headed stepblogger…A penny for my thoughts : In the UGA-USC slugfest, what caught my eye was USC’s ability to move and control the ball after UGA’s last FG. 4th quarter’s are made for finishing what was started. USC did that. They chewed up some time and when they gave the ball back to UGA, it was nearly desperation time for the Dawgs…This isn’t an original thought. It has already been mention here this week, but it is something your opponents will seek to test and exploit…Do I rank USC’s run game up there with some others in the SEC..? Nope…Not yet. Go Vols

Yall keep focusing on the defense that STILL held the evil genius to 1 touchdown, and 16 total points…they played well enough to win the game period. This just distracts you from what REALLY happened….The friggin offense played like crap, Stafford was off, and when he did make a good throw, it was dropped. Play calling was bad in crunch time, and why we are throwing to michael moore, and tony wilson at the goaline, rather than Mohammed Massoquoi is beyond me. The defense did NOT lose this game…The offense did. 12 points wouldn’t have won week 1 against OK state either. Would you blame the LB’s for that??? You can’t win a game on field goals alone…period.

Teams will continue to be able to gash the defense for big yardage running off the edges. Its called undersized DE’s!

I have to second Change Scheme’s opinion. The linebacker play was quite adequate against USC, considering that for most of the game they were 6-7 yards off the ball and the only pressure put on the offense was from the front four. The semi-prevent defense Willie Martinez deployed for most of the game still held USC to 16 points, which should have been good enough to win. But after watching that fiasco last Saturday, I guarantee it would’ve been less than 16 if the Dawgs would’ve turned loose all that speed on the field, manned up in the secondary, put 7 or 8 guys in the box and blitzed more. USC’s quarterback, Blake Mitchell, would’ve folded like a cheap suit if they had pressured him enough. On the rare occasions when Willie Martinez went away from the “bend and break” defense they usually play, Georgia’s speed shut USC down and had “the old ball coach” throwing his visor on the ground. While Coach Richt’s loyalty to his staff is admirable, unless Willie Martinez either gets a hormone shot and takes advantage of the speed and athleticism he has on defense to start attacking offenses, or better yet, gets run out of Athens on a rail, it’s gonna be a long season.

General, regarding your observations. What do most coaches do when they are trying to kill the clock? Run the ball. How do they break off the three runs that help to kill the clock like that. Games last 60 minutes, can’t be boneheaded the last 2 if you are trailing. That said IMO the defense did its job. Held SOS team to 1 TD and some field goals. It is our OFFENSE that needs to produce. AND WE BETTER GET A RUN DEFENSE WORKING TOO, WE WILL FACE SOME VERY GOOD BACKS THIS YEAR.
To all the Bees posting here, just remember that if not for the initiative of a UGA man your school wouldn’t even exsist. Show a little grace when talking smack against someone that you haven’t beaten in 6 years, and the last time you beat us you cheated. Doh!

Too much is being read into this. It’s probably a combination of letting these LB’s know that they can get replaced if they don’t perform & also getting them some work for this upcoming game. Truth is they didn’t play well all night —not just the LB’s, but the entire team as a whole. Besides Mereno & T.Brown they played with NO emotion. I think a lot of Mark Richt and where he’s brought this program, but this has been a trend over the last 3 years of not having these guys prepared to play after a hyped-up game the week before. Hopefully the bye-week this year will give them time to get excited for the FLA game.

Georgia has recruited well at linebacker, or at least, it appears they have. Coaches can only prepare the players up to a point; Players have to make plays. Hopefully, some playmakers will emerge. There appear to be several candidates to become really good football players. I’m looking forward to watching Curran. I know he is undersized by today’s standards. However, remember the junkyard dawgs, those were undersized lb’s who GATA pretty well.

The facts you pointed out are the facts. Yes, UGA held USC to only one TD some FG’s. USC held UGA to no TD’s and some FG’s. On an earlier blog, I said that USC’s D bent but didn’t break. USC simply did their jobs, O and D, in the crunch. 60 minutes or 6 minutes, they did it. That’s from coaching on down. Do I enjoy that CMR lost to Coach Spurious..? Not a bit. When we lose a game, we all like to believe we beat ourselves. We do and we don’t…The only positive that came out of last weeks UGA game is that for a week, UT holds a 1/2 game advantage over the Dawgs in the East. Disadvantge is that USC is ahead of us. After tomorrow’s Bungle in the Bog, we will be tied with somebody in the East…I watched the UGA game without the same interests as the Bulldawg Nation. My observations are as impartial as I can be…It’s raining here in NE GA…I think I’ll go for a run in it and splash a few puddles…

Cuz you sound like you have been a dawg for a long time. I like your spirit and attitude regarding the NATS electricians. When I was younger, I really did not like anything remotely yellow. I won’t even use a yellow tee when I play golf. I never understood a Georgia fan who pulled for the TS when they weren’t playing Georgia. I had some friends who played for the NATS in the 60’s. Still I could never pull for them. Lewis Grizzard use to refer to the “techmites” coming out of the woodwork after a few unimpressive wins. Some things never change.

Chip,
I take great exception to that “Trembling Chihuahua” thing that Jeff Schultz evidently delights in pulling out when we lose a game we shouldn’t. I saw it on a headline on the AJC website, but I’ve gotten to where I simply won’t read anything he writes, mostly because of his use of that in the past. What is the point of that kid stuff ? I view that as unprofessional, self-serving, and disloyal. Why the attack our own team ? There is plenty of underachieving going on all around (including in Schultz’s work cubicle) - why not slam Auburn instead ? Or Virginia Tech ? Or Michigan ? WHY would a writer covering OUR team do this ? Do the writers covering Tennessee, Florida, etc do this to the teams they cover ? If so, I haven’t noticed it in my travels to other SEC cities. We are only one season removed from being SEC champs. We’ve won two SECC’s in the last five years. Has Florida done that ? NO. Has Tennessee done that ? NO. Auburn ? NO. Alabama ? NO. South Carolina ? Hahahahaha. They’ve NEVER won one. You get my point - UGA has earned more respect than Schultz gives us, especially here in Georgia. Anybody can have a bad game. Again, Chip, thanks for the excellent and professional job that YOU do. You have the ability to report the facts, good or bad, without calling attention to yourself or embellishing the article with unnecessary/irrelevant negativism - I hope that all of your peers at AJC can take note of that and become better at reporting the news in a professional manner.

LOL! WhiteandGold, come on man. You don’t really want to make a complete fool out of yourself, do you?
Considering the overall history between UGA / GT as well as the recent history, you really should keep it shut.
Hell, even if GT does pull of a win over UGA this season, you’ve been owned for so long that it’ll take more than just one win to turn the tide in the overall rivalry.
Hell, Carolina just beat us last weekend and I still consider them below us.

Chip, maybe you can help me understand something here in regards to the LB’s. My wife & I were at the game on Sat, and I noticed that Miller was constantly in the slot covering their wideouts. What’s up with that? There is no way that he can cover a wide receiver. It’s the same old crap with Miller. They keep him at strong side where he is never involved with the action. What are the coaches thinking here? He needs to be in the middle because of is size, and let Ellerbe & Dewberry do more covering. Jasper Brinkley weighs 262 lbs, and he plays middle. He didn’t do too shabby against us. The fact of the matter is that Miller should be playing D end, and Howard should have been a LB. It’s obvious to everyone except our joke of a D coordinator, Martinez. God, I miss Van Gorder.

Once again I think everybody is making much ado about nothing. This a defense with 8 new starters. They are very athletic and talented but very undisciplined. They guys play TOO AGGRESSIVE and as a result blow their assignments. Experience will fix that. On USC’s last drive one of the runs was around the end. The UGA linebacker ran right up into the back of his lineman instead of keeping containment around the end stopping the run for a short gain. Can we stop talking like USC ran up 500 yards of offense. They barely gained over 300 against a very young and talented UGA defense that is only going to get better.

Joe,
The chief difference there is Jeff Schultz is a columnist and that’s pretty much his style. It certainly doesn’t sit well with everybody but I think that’s the way Jeff likes it. Sometimes it is difficult for readers to do but you must differentiate columnists from the rest of the reporting done in the paper. Those guys are paid to write their opinions. Schultz’s Weekend Predictions column is a very popular item and, clearly, it is his intent to get a rise out of everybody… . That said, I don’t think Schultz uses the “Trembling Chihuahuas” reference much when the Bulldogs are winning big. But when they lose, look out!

Despite their continued urgings, he never bothered to call me… .

UGA Dawg—
You have to just ignore white and gold, he’s obviously a child and not even a real fan. Children hide behind computer screens calling people queer and other childish names, kind of like a snotty nosed kid who’s Momma just bought him a lazer pointer and he takes it in the movie theatre pointing it at everyone, it doesn’t hurt, he just wants to be a jerk and annoy people.
I have two children: white and gold makes me very proud of them. They understand how to behave. They also are football fans and understand the concept of “bragging rights”. White and Gold only knows that he has to do any bragging now because for all his life, thats the only way he can do it… BEFORE the game, cause after the game there’s nothing for him to brag about, because they just took their annual butt-whoopin’.
The real Tech fans just bide their time knowing that the streak can’t last forever, and they look foolish bragging when they haven’t won the game yet, so they wait with patience and dignity.
Oh he may show up after the game long enough to call someone a queer… that’s what bad children and cowards do, they know that no one can get them if they are able to hide out behind a computer screen at home. So just ignore him, he can’t be more than 9-10 years old. Either that or he’s just a coward with absolutely no integrity. Not worth anyone’s time either way.

Chip,
and I do understand. It is still my belief that what Schultz does, whether in a column or in an article, is not professional. I liken it to a low quality hack-em-up movie, which attracts attention based solely on shock value rather than having skilled actors who can actually act or having a decent plot. To me, such a column that is written to “stir everyone up” is valueless. True, this is America, and I suppose people can write what they wish. But likewise, people can READ what they wish as well. For me, I will not read his work, whether in a column or an article, because I think that he uses his highly visible position in an irresponsible way - just trashy journalism, IMO. If Schultz (or his family) were the repeated target of such journalistic derision, rather than being the perpetrator of it, it’d probably start looking and feeling very different to Mr. Schultz, very quickly. The Dawgs had a bad game, but give them the respect that they’ve EARNED over the past 5 years. I feel sure that Mr. Schultz thinks that he’s very funny. I do not. If the AJC thinks that I’ll buy a newspaper to read Schultz’s kind of journalism, “stirred up” or not, they’re wrong. I’ll buy the Macon newspaper instead. Thanks.

Yall keep focusing on the defense that STILL held the evil genius to 1 touchdown, and 16 total points…they played well enough to win the game period. This just distracts you from what REALLY happened….The friggin offense played like crap, Stafford was off, and when he did make a good throw, it was dropped. Play calling was bad in crunch time, and why we are throwing to michael moore, and tony wilson at the goaline, rather than Mohammed Massoquoi is beyond me. The defense did NOT lose this game…The offense did. 12 points wouldn’t have won week 1 against OK state either. Would you blame the LB’s for that??? You can’t win a game on field goals alone…period.

Fellow Dawgs,
We have a game tomorrow against Western Carolina and we are still talking about last Saturday night. Both the offense and defense screwed up last Saturday night, the offense more so than the D, most of which rests on the shoulders of the coaching staff for not having them fired up and ready to play. It is time to get over this game and start concentrating on our next opponent otherwise we might get a big surprise tomorrow against Western Carolina as well. Now as far as shaking up the LB’s IMO Ellerbe has played two solid games at Mike, but Miller who had a very good game against OK St. did not show very well against South Carolina and as for Dewberry he struggled as well. I think it is a good idea to get Dent, Curran, Gamble and Charles White in and see if they have that fire in their bellies that seemed to be missing last Saturday night. They also need to move Adams from tackle back to guard but that will depend on whether Josh Davis or Vince Vance step up. Now some other changes that should be made IMO are Moreno should be starting at tailback and Ward and Figgins should be getting some PT at tight end as they did a great job in the OK. ST. game when Chandler was out. We also only threw one pass to Southerland and he only had one carry as well. Talk about not using your weapons properly. I certainly expect some of our issues to get straightened out tomorrow and for us to be ready to win. Go Dawgs

Jusry’s still out on what types of teams will end up strong by the end of the season, when it counts most.
White and gold, clearly you don’t have a job, or a woman, or much of a life at all. If posting inanities on the AJC website makes you feel better about yourself, that’s okay by the rest of us. Nobody takes anything you say seriously, anyway. Your deranged rants echo hollowly down that empty hallway outside your cell, don’t they? Does your insane cackling keep you up at night?

Gametime, I was surprised myself but the same could be said of our win last year. 18-0 did not do justice to the battle we fought in Columbia to win that game. Because I live in Augusta, the UGA-USC game is a huge rivalry game for me. Always exciting and there is no way we or you can win every time.

Our boys got to caught up in basking in the media spotlight and got shot down like a deer in the headlights. The Brinkley boys(USC) father guaranteed his boys would win the game and dang if he wasn’t right. I hated to fire him for that, he was one of my best drivers.

Cuz,
I hope you were only kidding about firing Papa Brinkley. As for the General what waffle house (location) does he work in. Next time I’m home I just might pay him a visit so we can talk football. Cuz I have been praying for you and your family. I spoke to Buck last night and he has a cracked rib so he is in pain so Fellow Dawgs put them in your prayers please.
Shane, Who won between Early Co. and Cook Co. last night, I will be talking to my father tomorrow morning, I call home every Sunday morning as my father gets worried if I don’t call him once a week and we talk about football. He always lets me know how the high school teams in NW GA specifically the Rome area are doing.

Tim Tebow is just a part of what we’ll have to deal with today…In JAX, the Dawgs can see 1/2 the stadium’s on their side. Not the case in Gainesville. Putting the crowd aside, Tebow is UF’s second leading rusher this season. completion ratio is high. As he sports 240 lbs on his 6-3 frame, he is more than capable of causing havoc. With Troy and Western Kentucky behind him, a home crowd surrounding him, and UF being UF, he may have a good day. If he does, the excuses are already formulated and formated on the hard drive. Even a drunk and downcast Volunteer can hit the ‘send’ key…Go Vols
What’s the difference between a happy drunk and a plain ol’ drunk..? Answer : A win over UF today

Yeah, I am kidding about firing Papa Brinkley. Dam fine man, just like his sons.
Well Chrissy that ought to make you feel better since your team walloped us by all of four points. Looks like before long you will be sharing the SEC East cellar with us.
General, hit them with double shotted cannister. No OL can stand up to that. Bring up the 12 pounders.

UGA beat USC 17-15(walloped by 2 points)and went on to win the East in ‘05. 6 point win in 2002.
I like our chances.

You go Chrissy. 18 point win in 2006. And we were not a good team.

I was referring to our SEC EAST chances. You guys didn’t win the EAST in ‘06. That’s obviously the reason I didn’t cite it.
You guys weren’t a very good team in ‘06, but we were worse.(@ the beginning)

Go ahead and win it out but be sure to beat everyone by over twenty points. It makes us feel better.

I usually don’t pick on girls so I’ll tee off from the front box…One win in the SEC East does not a champion make. Nor does one loss in the SEC East make one a bottomfeeder. As USC still has 4 games to play divisionally, I’d keep the champange corked a little longer. I’m prepping my game face at the moment so I’ll just go and pop another ice cold brewski…Have a c**-a-doddle kind of day…Go Vols
