UGAUGA

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!

If not Dogs, then who in East?

Coach Mark Richt said Tuesday, “we’re not talking about the SEC race anymore. All we’re thinking about is beating Vanderbilt.” That is an understandable proclamation since winning the SEC East is next to impossible at this point.

No, South Carolina and Florida have the best chances of winning the division, followed by Tennessee and Kentucky. This is, of course, my opinion since there are still so many games to be played and so many scenarios to play out.

My question today is this: If not Georgia, then which team would you rather see represent the East in the SEC Championship Game? I know, I know, for many of you it’s like picking a way to die. But it makes for an interesting dilemma for the die-hard Dawg fan.

Would you rather see Steve Spurrier - aka “the Evil Genius” - lead South Carolina to its first division title? Or does it concern you what effect that might have on UGA’s overall program health? And we all know how much Georgia fans despise Florida. But would you rather see the already-established Gators return to the Georgia Dome than seeing another program get a lift from playing for the championship? Of course, a Dogs’ win in Jacksonville would most assuredly knock out Florida from contention.

Would it make you feel better about getting blown out by Tennessee if the Vols were to run the table and return to Atlanta? Or would lowly Kentucky finally getting something to roar about be easier to stomach?

Quite a quandary isn’t it? Now we all know that it is still a mathematical possibility for the Bulldogs to make it. But they’d have to run the table and get some help from South Carolina and Tennessee opponents along the way. Seen anything to make you think that might happen?

I despise the Gators, always have and always will. But I’ll give the Devil his due. They are currently in my mind the best team in the east. LSU is the best in the west and even though it doesn’t always work out that way, the two best teams should square off for the championship. If LSU is for real and I’m still not convinced they are, they’ll probably have to beat Florida again.

I think what we see here is parity. There are so many scholarships any school can give, and with all due respect to Rivals, rating is a crap shoot anyway. Look at CFB this year. Apl. State beats Michigan, USF crushing big time programs, Ole Miss upsets FL? Get used to it, the days of undefeated seasons are over.

The Tennessee Vols are in the drivers seat. 1-1 Vols have road games at Mississippi State, Alabama, and Kentucky which they can win plus South Carolina,Arkansas and Vandy at home with Florida and Georgia in the rear view mirror. If the Vols aren’t playing in Atlanta on December 1st they need to find a new head coach

FLORIDA (2-2): at Kentucky, Georgia (in Jax), Vandy, at S. Carolina;

S. CAROLINA (3-1): Vandy, at Tennessee, at Arkansas, Florida;

TENNESSEE (1-1): at Miss. St., at Bama, S. Carolina, Arkansas, at Kentucky;

KENTUCKY (1-1): LSU, at Florida, Miss. St., at Vandy, at Georgia, Tennessee.

VANDY (1-2): Georgia, at S. Carolina, at Florida, Kentucky, at Tennessee.

I bet CMR ain’t willing to concede anything yet. I expect some wallpaper is gonna get torn off in the locker room in Nashville before the game.

2 losses will win the East but 3 losses does not = being a winner of the division. UGA would have to run the table which would put UF at 3 losses. UK would have to lose to LSU and UF(likely) and beat UT while SC loses to UT and UF.

It’s a longshot at best but who knows ??

Not completely inconcievable for us to win the east, although a long shot.

We’d have to win out. Florida would have 3 losses with our victory SC would need to lose 2 games out of Fla, Arkansas, and Tenn. Id expect them to lose UF and UT, in which case Tenn would have to lose 2 out of Bama, Ark, Kentucky. Kentucky would have to lose 2 out of UF, LSU,UT.

In my estimation UT losing 2 of those games is our biggest hurdle.

The dawgs shot at the east went down the crapper in Knoxville. Like it or not that is the business end of the equasion. Even if we pulled a rabbit out of the hat and ran the table that is still going to leave TN and SC (who both have 1 sec loss). I know one of them will have two but I digress. Kentucky in all likelihood will lose at least 2 more. I could give a fat rats @ss of FL, TN or SC but I’m still very Pro-East and believe our best shot at defeating the west is another FL-LSU matchup in the Dome. If the Dawgs are not involved, the BCS be dammed

By Gary

Sorry Chip, but if aint the dawgs, I don’t really care. Florida probably has the most talent in the East, but they’ll have that loss to Georgia in a couple of weeks that knocks them out. I think Kentucky’s loss to Georgia the following week will knock them out. That leaves the winner of the Tennessee-South Carolina game. I wouldn’t mind seeing SC run the table just to show what an idiot Lee Corso was when he claimed Spurrier would never be able to make an SEC champion out of them. But I’m not ready to give up on the dawgs at this point of the season when everyone in the East has at least one loss and Georgia is just a game behind. We can’t do it if we play like we did against Tennessee, but a few more like Alabama or Ole Miss would be nice. First step, destroy Vandy!

I agree with you. There is absolutely no ryhme or reason how the Dawgs can beat FL. Especially after the reaming we got last week. We showed how bad we could be. But with the close parity in the conference this year the FL game could be where we see how good we are. Stranger things have happened. Did I mention Stanford beat USC last week?

I know thats alot of ifs, but who would have thunk that all these upsets would have happened. I think That is what bothers me the most. We had an opportunity to really make a big leap this year and did let it slip thru our grasps. Alot left to play for, but just think of what coulda been for a second!

No way is Georgia gonna beat FL. If you can’t beat TN or SC, you ain’t gonna beat FL, even if Tebow pulls a Titans and gives up 5 turnovers. I’ve seen ya’ll play. I hope you don’t get 59 put on you, cuz that sucks, but you’re not gonna score 1/3 that so it don’t really matter. FL’s defense is better than their offense, especially on the front line, and we know where you guys stand there. :( Mr Hydrick up there said it best, although I think the TN/SC winner should go. But if SC beats TN, and FL beats SC, Spurrier needs to think about retirement also. And LSU figgered FL out in the 2nd half. A whole game again, could make FL look bad. Almost be worth it. Almost…. I will be pulling for the Dawgs to beat FL, but I ain’t puttin’ no money on it.

By Gary

I know its not likely, ARdawg, but SC still has 4 SEC games left and Tennessee 5. Georgia already has more SEC wins than Tennessee so it is not inconceivable. I wouldn’t put any money on it, but as long as there’s a shot, I’m still behind them dawgs and no way do I give up on the season. That’s how we Georgia fans do.

By A-ville Ranger

October 10, 2007 3:38 PM | Link to this

I’ve already made it clear I’d rather anybody other than SC win the east.It’s not just practical,the idea of becoming Spurrier’s whipping boys again makes me almost willing to quit watching the game.Here’s a practical reason though.SC already recruits Ga strong.They have 18 (I think) Ga natives on this year’s roster.If they ascend to our level or higher we’ll not only have another contender every year but we’ll doubtless start losing out to them on important recruits (AJ Green ?).The chance of seeing as much success as the past six seasons will be greatly diminished.

As a diehard DAWG, I NEVER GIVE UP ON MY DAWGS until a day after Georgia has been mathematically eliminated from winning the SEC East race. Heck, even then we’ll probably get a nice bowl game to extend the season one more game so my DAWGS withdrawals won’t have to begin immediately after our annual victory over the Tech weenies. We can be down 21 points to a Tennessee or a Florida with 30 seconds left in the game and I’m still feeling like we can come back to win!! Let’s hope CMR and the DAWGS coaching staff can and will instill the same kind of diehard attitude in our players !

I wish more DAWGS fans would spend their energy cheering in the stadium or in front of a TV or radio rather than spouting and spewing off as if they would make a difference if they could coach or play. GO DAWGS!!

Obviously, the answer is Tennessee. I’d say UK but that would mean that they have to beat us so no way I’m pulling for them to win it unless hell freezes over and they beat UF and LSU and can still get in with 2 losses. Highly unlikely.

UT is the easy answer, because we’ve already played them and frankly they are less dangerous to our program long term than either USC or UF. So let UT win it, Ainge graduates and then they’ll fall right to the rear again as we re-emerge in 2008 and beyond.

I also would be able to live with any result except USC. I’m tired of listening to what an offensive genuis SS is supposed to be when the only reason they are winning is because of Tyrone Nix.

I would love to see the math work out for the DAWGS. However, after their recent play, 2+2 is just not equalling 4. Even if we run the table from here out and don’t get help to make it, I would still feel a little better knowing we improved from this point. Listen folks, I am just as flustered as any of you. Believe me, I live 45 minutes from Gainesville and am surrounded by gator fans who constantly remind me of our flaws. What’s funny is I never say a word to provoke any of it. It’s just the way these around here are. As for someone else representing the East, it makes me sick! My main concern is having the SEC represented in the National Championship game. Even though we despise some of our foes, it does look good to have our conference there. Would you agree? Besides conference recognition, I would love to see the SEC play a Big 10 school like Ohio State or a Pac-10 school like USC and drill them. My reason is plain and simple; I am tired of hearing about these schools who have a “walk in the park” always mentioned about how powerful they are. I was watching ESPNU last night and the comment was made “Ohio State is just waiting for someone to slip so they can get in there. Are you kidding me? For what? If Ohio State got paired against LSU or UF they would be embarassed like last year. Not to mention Ohio State is 0-5 against SEC teams. Plus, weren’t they stronger last year with Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. and still got humiliated? Why would it be any different this year. Mark May said “USC is still not out of the hunt.” How can you lose at home to an unranked team (STANFORD) who you were 40 point favorites over and still be in the top 10 not to mention Mark May’s “still in the hunt?” I sat and listened to the analysts on ESPNU talk about how powerful USC is. I had to turn the channel, I told my wife I was getting sick. Has USC not struggled with some unranked teams? What wacky substance have I been smoking to miss their dominance? Oh well, I just want the SEC to be represented well.

If you want an SEC team in the Nat’l Champ game, then FL is the only team with any chance of beating LSU in the SEC title. SC & TN might beat LSU 1 in 10 times, but FL could probably beat em 3 in 10, so if FL wins the east, I say we all get together and loose some real gators on the plane. You know, those belly-crawling, swamp-living, baby-eating lizards? Yeah, real good mascot there FL. Matches the population perfectly.

Let’s clear up one thing…Kentucky surely isn’t going to win it (as they will assuredly have 3 losses at the end of next weekend and hasn’t beaten UT in about 50 years). I would say the chances are 50% UF, 30% UT (who has a pretty easy go of it the rest of the way), 15% SC, and 5% UGA. S Carolina has to still play Florida and Tennessee, plus go to Arkansas (which is a bad matchup for them IMO).

As for who I would RATHER see in Atlanta the first weekend in December, I would have to say UF because I think they are the best team in the east right now.

Kent, You’re a dumb redneck, but that’s certainly not unusual for Tennessee fans. Georgia’s record against Tennessee is 5-3 this decade with victories in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005. How does that make us 4-16 in the past 20 years? Please explain your redneck math.

Having said that, I do think Tennessee will win the east this year and I consider them the least evil of the three legitimate contenders (USC, UF, Tenn).

I believe it’ll all come down to the winner of the S. Carolina-Tennessee game, with both teams not losing again up to that point, which seems like a pretty even matchup. If Tennessee wins, they’ll win the SEC East because I don’t see them losing another game (though Kentucky might be tough). If S. Carolina wins, I think Florida will win the SEC East because they’ll defeat SC later and own the tiebreaker w/ Tennessee.

FYI to those complaining about O-line, here are a few of the recruits that could be playing: Brock*, Miller, Gainous, Lee, McKinzey*, Swoopes, Watts**. A fair criticism is no OL recruits in 2005 when Brock & Miller already had shoulder problems; and only 3 OL recruits in 2004 when Swoopes was coming in from Milledgeville.

If UGA isn’t in it I don’t care who is. Stupid question.

If UF goes however, I you can take it to the bank that 10 teams will fall in front of them so they can get into the BCS title game. I’ve never seen a team with as much luck as the dang gators. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a great team but they seem to have everything go their way when neeeded at the end of the year to get into a title game (see last year and 1996).

I am a hurting Gator at the moment. 2 loses in a row takes me back to the Zooker days, although I know the best is ahead for the Gators with such a young and talented team. However, I get a little sick to my stomach thinking Tennessee can win the East after the way the Gators stomped all over them in Gainesville this year. But the Gators have no one to blame but themselves for losing to Auburn at home. That should not have happened! So, the Gators really do not deserve to win the East this year, but I sure hope someone other than the Vols win it if the Gators don’t. I can’t seem them beating South Carolina, though. And it will be hard for the Gators to beat them in Columbia, too. And I think the Ga/Tenn game was a fluke for the Bulldogs. They are much better than that, and I think they will play up to their potential for the rest of the year…but will not win the East.

I’m not giving up until we are mathematically eleminated. I’m gonna pray real hard and hope for the best. Note to our Dawgs. “When the spirit is willing the flesh has the strength of ten.” Ok, having said that, I would rather dig up my daddy than see Darth Visor claim the East. That chest thumper has run up quite an ill-will tab with me. I don’t like to say I hate anyone, but, when that vengeful spoiled brat purposely ran up the score on us in Athens and then crowed about it and taunted us, I vowed I would hate him forever. He can never forgive the Dawgs for ruining his Heisman season. So screw him.
Florida? Ditto. See previous statement. Kentucky? If they can get there with a loss to the Dawgs that would be OK with me. Tennessee? OK, let’s say that they win it. Is that so bad? Probably get big boy a contract extension. Plus, we’ve already lost to them. Anyway, I think it’s an excercise in futility. If it can’t be the Dawgs then maybe we should pull for LSU at this point. They have the best chance to represent the SEC in the National Championship game.

I also recall the angst of the next 18 years before Richt arrived.The truth I’ve faced this week is I’m not willing to trade success for a good guy.There are signs the program is slipping.If the coaches can’t put a real nc contender on the field while Stafford is here then the situation should be reevaluated.The only program with an overall stronger position in the conference is UF.The rest is coaching and I’m getting very sick of waiting for coaching to match the material.

Six weeks ago Carolina fans were “delusional”….Now SC is being considered as a legitimate threat to win the East!!!

I am Carolina all the way but I said before the season Tennessee would win the East. There is too much on the line for Fulmer and they have a senior QB probably more talent overall than SC and an easier conference schedule than FLA.

HOWEVER, the SC-TENN game is probably the pivotal game…If SC takes care of Vandy next week and manages to beat Tennessee, the Cocks can lose to Arkansas and still play for the division title at home against FLA…And I like our chances playing at The Cockpit for the right to go to Atlanta - no matter who the opponent is…

Hope everyone remembers that one of Richt’s East titles was actually a three-team tie broken by a bizarre in-season vote of the ADs that allowed BCS rankings to prevail (e.g. not an on-the-field SEC result). In all the crowing about Richt’s record, that was a got-lucky East title that was based on non-conf opponents (UF’s and UT’s were tougher, therefore a better overall W-L record and BCS ranking resulted for UGA). It was the first time in SECCG history that a contender was put in the Dome by other than an SEC-related competitive factor. This year, in being virtually out of the East race by the first week of October, Dawg fans need to face up to reality — you all are slipping further and further away from ever winning the East again. You’re looking up at KY and USC now, with Vandy nipping at your canine heels. Home losses to Vandy do not bode well (I guess you guys were you guys were even “younger” last year?)

By uga-brave

October 11, 2007 12:55 AM | Link to this

for all of you so called true dawgs fans that believe criticism is the sign of a bandwagon fan you just dont get it. most of us want to believe we are a top ten program, and for a while 02-05 that was justified, but the losses to kentucky, vandy and the near misses against colo. and miss state were the start of an alarming pattern.

no way these things should happen to a coaching staff that has been in place for this long. i like CMR as much as anyone, but it all starts and ends with him. if we finish say 7-5 and certain changes are not made i would say we might have a problem.

i dont care how young we are, we have to much talent to be in this position, coaches coach and players play. it is the job of the coaches to bring that talent out.

this brings me to another thought, let staff develop a rhytm with four wr’s instead of trying to play 8. young qb’s have to be comfortable with routes and tendencies. makes no sense in trying to see who plays better in the game to dictate snaps. that kind of thing should be determined during the week.

UT wins the East. The loss to UF had everything to do with UT playing tough, real teams, and UF playing HS level competition and preparing for three weeks for UT. Oh, and UT beats LSU in the SEC Championship giving them their only loss and a late season loss that keeps them out of the BCS picture.

By Salty Dawg

October 11, 2007 2:41 AM | Link to this

Well, Kent makes a good point. Georgia fans really should not call UT fans rednecks. UT fans are actually Hillbillies.

No, that’s not fair. Most UT fans who purchase tickets or who have attended UT, like UGA fans, are decent folk. Its just that a large portion of the wannabe’s who could not get into the respective schools, like Kent, who give all the fans a bad name.

But, let’s review a little history or Kent. UGA is not 4-16 to UT over the past 20 years. Frankly, there have not been that many games played. In 1987, we played LSU. In 1988, we rotated out LSU and played UT. UGA won 20-16. UT lost the next five games and finished 5-6 for the year. In 1989, during Ray Goff’s first year, UT won. Oh, but we have to talk about Reggie Cobb. Johnny Majors conveniently decided to throw him off the team for his prosiptous use of COCAINE the Monday after the UGA-TN game. He was insrtumental in the Cobb-Webb Offense and without him, UT does not win 17-10. Lots of class there in big Orange country. Like Johnny Majors did not know he was going to have to kick him off the team until after the Georgia game. The teams did not play in 1990 or 1991.

In 1992, the SEC added Arkansas and USC and the divisions were created with us getting UT. From 1992 through 1999, UT won. So, UT can 8 wins.

But, Jim Donnan broke the streak started under the Goff regime in 2000. Richt won in 2001, 2002, and 2003. UT won in 2004, but the good guys won in 2005. UT has put together wins in 2006 and 2007. Two weeks to prepare against UGA, like UF has had since its unimaginable success against UGA, has a lot to do with it.

So, the final tally since 1988 is UGA 6, UT 12. Hardly 4-16.

To resond to another poster, yeah, UT has the better football program - today. They beat us this year, they have a slight edge in SEC Championships (13 to our 11 I belive) and a slight edge in mythical NCs becasue of 1998. But, you know, things can change. UT fans were about to run Phil Fulmer off. Ole Miss fans ran off David Cucliffe. Prior to 1993, UGA had the series record against UT, more SEC Championships and was more recognized nationally. Change is the only constant.

It would really suck, but UF could get in via a 3 way tie. SC gets thru Kville with a win, puting UF and UT with 2 loses. Then they lose to UF on 11/12.

My money is on Spurrier if he needs a must win over SubUrban

Buck, Vandy had no life against Auburn. It was over at half(28-0). I have predicted every UGA game correct. My opinion on Vandy is the Commodores will play better at home and the let down against Auburn,, but not enough>>> UGA 24 Vandy 13<<< Moreno, Stafford and Bailey will have big day. Auburn will play Ark tough, but at home Arky might edge out..hope not, just my thoughts..Hope you are feeling better…

Thanks for proving our point SaltyDawg. I can’t remember the last time we tore down the goalposts after beating GA. Bet you can (2000) after Phil’s ‘Bear-like’ streak on you. I wouldn’t trade Phil for nothing. He has spare keys to your state’s recruiting office. You guys hate Spurrier & SC more than us? Great! Just don’t look at our roster anytime soon. Could you use a 90 yard interception return on Tebow in a few weeks? Maybe Eric Berry will loan you one. And we are Hillbillies. With another streak started. Thanks for getting us back in the polls, putting out the fire on a coach 11-5 against ya, and keeping us alive in the SEC race. Too bad you couldn’t play Vandy last weekend too, TN just had GA’s number. Go Vols. Go Titans.

Winner of SECE should be winner of UF-SC. UT’s an easy pick—probably the best reason not to go with them; however they certainly have the easiest road from here on out. That said: last Saturday didn’t solve all their problems. The Neyland crowd booed Phil Fulmer’s name as much as they did the Dawgs. If he doesn’t win at least the SECE in ‘07, he’s history. UT shouldn’t make too much of the win over UGA—just like Ga shouldn’t have made too much of ‘Bama. UT’s probably somewhere between what we saw Saturday and what they showed (or didn’t) against UF. That 90 yard pick Berry made didn’t really matter anyway…

Vol you’re right about one thing: those goal posts. But don’t poke too much fun at UGA fans for 2000. I’ve seen UT’s goad posts come down a number of times though the years and not just because of ‘Bama. Sounds like you’re just a Georgia hater (that’s okay—we don’t care). A UT buddy of mine told me that the Knox News-Sentinel blog was on melt-down last week. Funny how a few days can change things. Just remember if both our teams beat Vandy this year, it’ll be the first time in 3 years so you’re in good company. Like Salty Dawg said: change is the only constant.

Go Dawgs.

Hey NW Ga Dawg: 1st I ain’t no Dawg hater, but I don’t love em either. FL & ALA spawn hate from me in the SEC. FL more lately (for good reason). As far as Berry, that’s just a GA ribbing, (not the BBQ kind), and guess what, I get to do that for another year. I don’t think GA is bad either. But I wished that same TN team would have showed up in Gainesville, maybe not a win, but a dam site more respectable. If they play like that the rest of the year, the SEC east is ours, and maybe a little more. But if not, don’t think Phil is gone, cuz just like your posts here, the fans don’t get to fire anyone. I wouldn’t fire him, some would, and some would even if he beat FL, LSU and CAL this year, so I listen to them less than I am listening to you. As for the goal posts, the last one I remember was during the NC season when we finally beat them dang gaytors and got off to the RIGHT start, but there may have been one after. Thats not the point, the head to head win is and we still got honors in the word-wars.

Besides, you have to be almost unbeatable to be hated by TN. Oh snap, did I just say that out loud? Word-wars, 2 years and running…. and Foster still has another year. Maybe another 3 TDs? Another blocked punt? Another season turning around win? Gotta hand it to you Dawgs, you just keep giving, and giving, and giving…….

Go back to rocky flop damn volunteer. JK. Asking me what team I would prefer to win is like asking what kid would you prefer to shoot? Argh!! I know it’s a long shot but I don’t think that running the table is out of the question. See you in the dome.

Fairly simple. If the Vols can win out (BIG IF with philapottamus) Crank up the yellow bus for the trip to Atlanta! Stumble and play # 5 in the Big Ten in the Custard Bowl somewhere! Go Vols!
