This is a great idea following the “Blackout.” However, at what point does the Dawg Nation stop needing a ploy every week to do our job. We do not attend the games every week for black jersey’s and soulja boy. Granted, both those things were awesome, but we need to be that excited at the notion that we can help our team win regardless of the colors they are wearing. I hope some alumni are reading because your side of the stadium tends to fall asleep more than the other. We still have a great chance at SEC and BCS appearances. Isnt that enough to get us going?

They can Redout, Whiteout, Blackout, Silverout (UGA should look into this one), or whatever-out they have to resort to for a win so they can earn a rematch against West Virginia whom I’m sure Dawg nation remembers. Something tells me that UGA and their fans would go in with the same haughty attitude as they did in the 2005 Sugar Bowl. Interestingly, I doubt the result would be much different. Regardless of my opinion, there is only one way to find out. I’d love to see a rematch!!! Wouldn’t you?

It’s down to the home stretch. These players have been sacrificing themselves for the past ten games and I’m sure they’re tired mentally and physically.

For the fans in attendance, acting as they did during the blackout is the closest thing they can get to competing and laying it all out alongside our players. Who says sitting in the stands has to be a spectator sport? Participate with them and make some noise! I couldn’t make the game against Auburn but I’m still enjoying watching it on the dvr. What a great time everyone had! Reminded me of Clemson in ‘91 when I was a student.

We can do it again!

12:30 start? Suck it up! Participate in the game with them! Fire the team up! Show up for the Dawg Walk! Get in the stadium on time! Proudly leave your voice at the stadium and be hoarse the next day!

Do it Bulldog Nation! Urban Crybaby Meyer is counting on us to lose to KY. Hell, he’s acting like the Gaytors have the lead in the East. Prove him wrong! Let’s beat Kentucky, then we can focus on GT and watch Fat Phil sweat off some pounds when they play KY.

Mark Richt seems to certainly be enjoying himself and why not. The program seems to have a wonderful talent base to grow with and the upcoming recruiting class is strong. It may seem that with this late surge in victory’s and a new found attitude that we could close the recruiting class with a couple of steals, ala Marcus Stroud. Keep the momentum going with whatever it takes and lets finish the drill both on the field and in recruiting.

He was joking folks, he was joking. I watched the PC, and he was being as lighthearted as ever.

None of these are “ploys”, but rather some fan interaction with the team. AU used to sell these “tiger rags” to get the entire stadium in one color - and I don’t recall it ever being a ploy but rather a way to get the crowd involved.

I think the fact that they spanked us last year is motivation enough. I’m not worried about a letdown for this game. Everyone respects Kentucky and their very talented quarterback.

As a staunch Dawg supporter and active alum for more than 4o years, I beg my fellow “older” fans to get up out of your seats and let the Dawgs know how you really feel for a change. They really thrive on our togetherness as fans as much as there togetherness as players. The students let the team know they’re with them , so let’s do the same! I promise it’ll help that high bloodpressure!!!! GO DAWGS!!!!

The “redout” idea is CMR staying one step ahead of the game. It’s his way to say that you can look at a “normal” game day, where most people feature red in their look, as special, so it’s not necessary to have a gimick d’jour or start wearing black every week. CMR seems to feel that it will be better to keep black in reserve for special occasions. I can go with that; but, the black jersey with red helmet uniform is an incredibly sharp look, especially on #’s 7 and 24, and I wouldn’t object if it became the standard game wear. I already ordered one (#7) as a Christmas gift for my favorite nephew, who lives in Highland Park, TX.

I know its a long ways off, prior business would need to be taken care of, and the stars would need to align but would anybody in Dawg Nation like to see a rematch against West Virginia? I mean, it would be the “hottest” SEC team pitted against the Big East Champ, right? There’s no way WV would stand a chance, right? UGA’s defense is superior to WV’s right? Moreno would outdo Slaton, right? It’s very hard for me to type this but Stafford would outdo White, right? Ok, yes I’m pulling here but what do you all think? All jokes aside, I believe it would be a great matchup for the SEC, Big East, the money-hungry bowl system, and both programs. Does anyone else???

I think he said this somewhat jokingly because Sanford is red every other Saturday regardless…seems like he was just trying to get across the point that the fans showing up—literally and energetically—was a big boost and whatever it takes to do it again needs to happen. And I agree…while Sanford may not get as loud as Blackout Saturday, it can and should get much louder than it does during many of the games we play. I mean, seriously, the South stands fans are pitifully quiet compared to the North side. What’s the deal South side? Get loud! :)

By Dawg4life

November 13, 2007 6:05 PM | Link to this

I agree with the post about the alumni side of the stadium. I happened to get some tix to the Troy game two weeks ago and I sat on the South side of the stadium. It was about the deadest atmosphere I think I’d ever seen! Fans were totally not into the game. They were sitting the whole time. Being quiet. A few random “Go Dawgs” here and there, but when we were on defense (when crowd noise is absolutely crucial) they were virtually non-existent. And when I tried to take it upon myself to get the crowd jacked up by waving my arms up and down and imploring them to join me by yelling “Go Dawgs”, they looked at me like I was a fool!!!

We can’t have that this Saturday. We shouldn’t have it like that ANY Saturday. If we can’t get off our rear ends and cheer for our team, then we need to stay at home and let someone else who’s willing to do it take the opportunity. There are hundreds of people roaming the Sanford bridge every gameday who would love to be in that situation. WE NEED TO BE AT OUR LOUDEST ON SATURDAY!!! WE NEED THE EQUIVALENT OF THE AUBURN GAME!!!

And regarding motivation for Ky., if them beating us last year isn’t enough, Richt needs to show them this picture of Stafford after the game last year:

Racist. Racist. It’s an insult to Native Americans. The NCAA will be hot if this goes down. (Maybe those kids that paint themselves can track down some war bonnets before the game …)

Don’t foget the red hats. There were a few too many red and white hats during the blackout.

If Coke Zero gave out 5,000 black t-shirts during the blackout to students I hope that Coke Classic gives out 5,000 red t-shirts to students during the red-out. (Some fans should wear an extra red t-shirt over your regular gear to give away to those who forget.)

Please follow the three basic rules: (i) wear red, (ii) get in your seat early, and (iii) be LOUD! This is revenge people — we lost in the Bluegrass State last year and it is payback time. (P.S. I really like the idea of having Tubby Smith as an honorary UGA captain.)

I hope everyone here realizes that its always been a “redout” at Sanford for home games (at least for those who are fans enough to realize such things). Warming up in black and changing into red is ludacris. We (almost) always wear red at home. So what if it’s exteral motivation? Isn’t that the point of school colors, marching bands, fight songs, mascots, cheerleaders, Makers’ Mark, etc.? I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of the “blackouts” at home. Wouldn’t it be cool to make it a versus Auburn at home thing and maybe in Jacksonville next year since we’re the “home” team then.

NOTICE TO BULLDOG NATION

If you are Dawg enough to go to a game at anytime over the next several years, you must make sure what color to wear before you go. If you are a causual fan who shows up in the wrong color that is exactly what everyone will see. GO DAWGS!!!

ALL the motivation the team needs this week is to watch the last few moments of last years game at Commonwealth Stadium…the celebration, the rushing of the field, and the downing of the goalposts…remember how they felt watching that scene unfold and SWEAR for it to NEVER happen again!.. Last weeks game was AWESOME from the field to the stands…we were ALL into it… thats what CMR is after.. its his job to get the team ready and prepared for the game…its OUR job to show up and do our part.. bring the energy and excitement and the team will feed off it just like we feed off the teams excitement now…the dancing on the sidelines is nothing but allowing the team to loosen up and to JUST HAVE FUN.. it harms no one … the results have spoken for themselves…just pray that we dont have that same officiating crew ! and as ALWAYS … GO DAWGS!!!

The Blackout was great but I am glad we are putting up the jersies for now. If we use it too often it will become ho hum.

I also agree with those who criticize the South Stands. We need to call them out. Maybe some of the students who paint themselves for the game can become creative again…i.e. CONSERVE WATER. Maybe they can “encourage” the South Stands to be a little louder.

We need to forget about WVU or Hawaii or whomever we MAY play. Total focus needs to be on UK this week. They are another possible trap game like Troy, except they are much better than those Trojans.

Everyone who thinks the South stands are not as loud clearly doesn’t sit in my section. 125 Lower level SOUTH side is crunk! We all yell, stand up, harass refs, and Michael Adams when he dares tred down those steps to the field. Younger Alums who are sitting on the South side are not over there sitting quietly.

We all need to get up and get loud and be the 12th man for the Dawgs! Knowshon and Thomas are dancing, Stafford, Bailey and Mo Mass are breaking hearts with the deep ball, Boling and the O line are ripping other teams apart and Kelin, Howard, Miller and the D are playing with the fire and the heart of the Junkyard Dawgs of old - we, the fans, regardless of where we sit need to get up and in the words of the famous Erk Russell GATA DAWGS!

I have no voice from the all-barn game and I’m hoping it comes back by Friday only so I can lose it again helping the Dawgs blast kentucky.

First, red is always in at Sanford…the blackout was a great change and just the motivation that the team and fans needed to beat a very good Auburn team. Secondly, I have been in the South stands all year and I don’t think the criticism is fair. The fans in the South stands were into the game as much as anyone in the stadium. It is not the student section…been there, done that. The criticism is definitely not coming from anyone who has seats on the South side, so it is without merit.

Something tells me that UGA and their fans would go in with the same haughty attitude as they did in the 2005 Sugar Bowl.

Something tells me that UGA and fans would be anything but haughty with the memory of the ‘06 game fresh in our minds. I think it’s safe to say that WVU would be taken very seriously. They have been a top-flight team for the past two years, so I don’t think anyone would overlook them now (if that’s what happened two years ago - it is also possible that WVU was just the better team that day. It happens.)

In any event, I’d love to find out. Win or lose, it means the Dawgs made it to a BCS game. I’d love to see Sugar fall from the sky again this year. A Fiesta would be nice, too.

The team wouldn’t have to do this kind of stuff if our alumni didn’t suck and sit on their fat @sses the whole game without raising their voice above a whisper.

And I know that sounds harsh, but it’s the effing truth. The students, who are less represented both percentage wise and numbers wise than over half of the other teams in the SEC, can’t keep on doing it all themselves.

So if Michael Adams, in all his esteemed greediness, wants to keep on letting alumni buy tickets that should be going to students, then the least the alumni could do is get off their fat @sses and actually cheer for the damn team!!!

Thanks,

The Students of UGA who are tired of quiet alumni and of getting screwed by Michael Adams as compared to the rest of the student bodies in the SEC.

The black out was long over due. At least now Dawg fans might be think about what they wear to the game. Not so much at home games but at places like Alabama. Don’t wear red at away games where the home team is red. Wear black Jack. Also I hope we get to play West Virginia again. We didn’t lose because we were over confident but with weren’t fired up.

The team’s tactics and actions over the last weeks remind me a little of “Free Shoes University” and “The Canes” of the 80’s and 90’s. Both were powerhouse teams which came at a price – no respect!.

Red it is…I am less worried about an emotional let down than the I am about the UK offensive weapons. UGA will not win a high scoring shoot out. The D must hit AW every time he drops back. Like most QB’s he is very average when pressured (see the game against the chickens) and he is deadly when given time (see almost every other game). If UGA’s D plays well they win.

If you think about it the Redout makes sense. Coaches typically want their fans to wear a color that will neutralize the color of the opposing fans. For instance, earlier this season for the UFL v. UT game Coach Urban Cryer asked his fans to wear all blue in order to offset the orange of the Tennessee fans. In the Auburn game we wore black which offset Auburn fans wearing primarily orange. Against Kentucky our red would offest their blue.

This has nothing to do with the blackout except i wish my coach had balls enough to think out of the box. My problem is humphries being aressted for having a knife more than 2 inches long. Give me a freaking break when are we going to learn form the vt tragedy that weapons are not a bad thing if being used for the right reason. Can I please have all the left wing liberals move to the north and all normal people stay in the south then i promise will be no schools shot up in the south only in the north with the liberal bed wetters who dont realize the people who have permits for weapons arent crimanals why the hell has humphries have to have his name out there like this is freaking crazy what a horrible school policy i feel sorry for this kid and i am a tech fan

I think that everyone should wear a red shirt underneath a black shirt, and as the team comes onto the field….everyone take off their black shirts and have a “redout” that way. Tell me that wouldn’t jack up the team.

Why is whenever a student, like myself, correctly calls out the alumni for sitting on their fat @sses instead of cheering for the Dawgs on a CONSISTANT basis, someone like Aladawg feels the need to call out the students?

For what? Do we ever sit, ever? NO!

Do we ever stop screaming when the D is on the field? NO!

Were there still fat @ssed alumni sitting on their fat @sses in the East endzone in the first three rows even on the Blackout Saturday? YES!

Did I not scream at these care-nothing alumni to try and shame them to stand to no avail, their apathy knowing no bounds? YES!

Look, Aladawg… alumni have no business calling out the students asking if we’ll be ready or if we’ll be there or if we’ll scream ourselves hoarse. We are and we do. So what, you guys did it for one game? Where were the fat @sses in the south side during the South Carolina game?

That’s right, sitting on their fat @sses.

Once again, Georgia makes more than enough money to refuse about 5,000 to 7,500 tickets to do-nothing alumni and let students who actually cheer for the team every second buy them, creating more of a homefield advantage for the team. Create a new student section on the South side between the 20 and the 30. That should shame the alumni into being loud, maybe.

So what, Aladawg. Y’all did it once. How about you do it for every game?

I’m not going to hold my breath.

I’m glad you are calling outthe “fuddy duddy I’m at an opera fans”, but look at the student section at game time at any game starting before 3:30. Did you look at sections 309-311 before this game. They still were not filled until about 5 minutes before gametime Saturday on our best day. We need students like you at games an hour before start, but all too often the students show midway through the 1st quarter on 1:00 and 12:30 starts. On many non glamour games many students don’t even show. I saw more student tickets for sale proportionate to how many are printed than regulars this past Saturday. Why are students selling tickets if they are so short? Be at this game by 11:30, students, like most of you were Saturday; we need you. Nascar Fan, nothing personal to you at all, but watch the log in your own eye before trying to pick a splinter out of others. Go DAWGS! Let’s all be there.

Why is it UGA, with all the talent they have on the roster has resorted to gimmicks like blackouts, the mystery of black jerseys, red outs and unsportsmanlike (pathetic) endzone celebrations to motivate their team and fans. This stuff is all very Miami like and I find it sad that it takes this for UGA players and fans to get motivated to play when an SEC East title is possibly in the cards. UGA is the only team in the league that found it necessary to resort to such lame tactics and it really is kind of sad!

Dawg Fans -

Been a fan all my life. Going to Athens on Saturdays as a kid with the family was just a way of life! Loved it. In school thru the Hershel years and the National Championship… Now have a kid UGA and still love the games. So I am a great fan of the DAWGS, BUT… I am going to have to admit, UGA game excitement in the stands does not hold a candle to what we see at other schools. It can be very dull in fact. Don’t know if is a history of conservative (but great) coaches that rubs off on us, the fans, or what. I am always amazed though when visiting other stadiums, the level of excitement and noise as compared to Sanford Stadium!!!!

The kids respond to this excitment!!! Not only on the field, but the recruits visiting!! Like it or not, they LOVE this stuff. Look at the Ohio lineman recruits comments about his visit and excitement about UGA!!!! That excitment made an impression. That kid will be a DAWG - You watch!

Unfortunantly had to miss the AU game but caught it on TV. Man was it exciting…. even on the tube, the energy level was amazing.

The thug talk is just silly. CMR hasn’t shed his emphasis on character or on being a life coach for his players. And he will still attract recruits who want to play for someone with class and whose parents feel like their kids are being taken good care of at UGA. Anyone who doubts the team’s character should look at the article last week on Thomas Brown, AJ Bryant, and Kelin Johnson: http://www.ajc.com/search/content/sports/uga/stories/2007/11/06/gafoot_1107.html

There’s no thuggery to be concerned about - I’m not seeing late night shootings or drug dealers on this squad, and not even anything on the field that’s truly mean-spirited. Just some young guys who work hard having a little fun. When that sideline started dancing and the stands starting bouncing as well, it felt GREAT! Great to be a Georgia Bulldog.

Let’s do it again! Richt is right most fans usually wear red but let’s get everyone to do it & not have some black, white or gray/silver mixed in. If he wasn’t to break out Herschel era red pants in order to get the players fired up. I’m down with that too. Personally I hope he doesn’t & think it wouldn’t look good but he needs to do whatever it takes! Yes! I’m worried about a let down this week. KY isn’t a push over like they used to be & if we don’t show up we could loose. If we just execute the current game play of running the ball then hitting some deep passes we should be fine. If we can run at will on them it would help overcome any emotional letdown. It’ll be interesting to see if they go with more conventional formations to avoid seeing our new look on D for spread offenses that we’ve used since the Florida game. If we go up early they’ll have no choice but to throw it as we’ve seen the last couple of seasons if you put a college QB in that spot its hard for them not to throw a pick or four.

By I-DOG

November 14, 2007 11:41 AM | Link to this

I-DOG’s recipe for beating Kentucky:

We are facing a potent offense this week that is basically a spread option without the major league QB run threat of an Oregon, FL, Troy etc…he can run, he just doesn’t do it often.

I’d like to see us back off a bit on the blitz, move people around on the line of scrimmage and show blitz fairly often but only bring 4 on 80% of the downs.

I’d like to see us use a LB to spy the QB and when it is obvious that it isn’t a designed run he can read that and that LB can rush the qb late as the protection starts to break down. Do this when we want to blitz to put pressure on him while still having 6 in coverage.

Play zone mostly when they are on their own side of the field and mostly man to man when they cross the 50.

They may rack up some yards and Kentucky will score some points, but if we can hold them to 24 or under, we have an excellent shot at winning.

On offense, keep doing what we are doing. Plenty of Moreno, a little Brown, play action passing off that, take a shot down the field at least once a quarter and we should be able to score at least 30.

braveswin…shame you can be accepting of other people opinions yet have to resort to name calling. Just sad! As for my opinion, I think that it is a shame that a national respected program like UGA has to resort to gimmicks in order to motivate their fans and players. Kind of like motivation due to desperation. Yes the pads were strapped on during your last 2 games but if you listen to the fans on here, they were won because of the gimmicks. I would have thought UGA to have enough talent not to need gimmicks like a blackout and I would have thought Richt to be more classy than to insist his team get an unsportsmanlike penalty for motivation. As for the blackout, if any of you think that it was an idea by the seniors, I suggest you rethink that. It was a great move by the marketing dept of the university to get you morons to go out and spend more money on UGA apparel. So, I guess you should be running along and going to buy a new Red UGA short to you can “represent” at the game on Saturday. For any of you who think that the “blackout” or the endzone celebration are the reason you won, you are wrong. UGA won because they were the better team in both of those games.

I’ll be there and I’ll be wearing RED. If it helps the team and coaches to have the crowd more involved, I’m all over it. As fans, we do have a responsibility to be in the game along with our team. Football is not a “spectator sport”. Whenever the opposing team has the ball we need to be making noise and rocking the “Dawg House”. Crowd noise and excitement from the fans creates havoc for the opposing team when their Quarterback can’t hear or be heard when plays are being called. If you just want to sit quietly and watch a game and get mad when people in front of you stand up and cheer loudly, PLEASE…stay at home and enjoy the game in the comforts of your own home. Sell your tickets to someone that loves the game and wants to do their part in the stadium. And for all of you other people posting on here that think it’s sad that you have to do something like this to motivate your team….you’re jealous that you don’t share in the excitement of UGA football. For lack of a better term, you don’t have a DAWG in this hunt. See you Saturday Dawg Fans. Let’s Rock the Dawg House! GO DAWGS!!!

Geeze, I’ve seen you post a lot on here and have agreed with much you’ve stated. Much I haven’t as well especially your last post. Listen, Richt’s motivational tools are a bit different this year, so fuggin what? As for the purchasing of apparel, theres not going to be enough extra sold to make a difference in the UGA coffers because of a blackout or a redout or a white out for that matter.

Lighten up. Richt is appealling to both the players and the masses with the so called “gimmicks”. It doesn’t what what gimmicks you accuse him of for motivation, doesn’t mean a hill of beans after the kick off to the final buzzer. That my friend is where the tailgate drops and the bullsh!t stops. That is where then talent comes in and ready for grade.

For the life of me I can’t understand why you supposed fans spew such negativity on the tactics while they’re winning. Oh wait, you are the same ones that spew it while they’re losing too?

I guess a traditionalist like you would prefer we abandon the forward pass too? Wake up and get out of the muck and mire of the past.

ARdawg…much of my last statement was to refute a comment to me from someone who didnt think I can have an opinion that doesnt coincide with theirs. I have always viewed UGA as a very traditional, classy program and I didn’t think that tactics such as those being employed would be needed. Up until a couple of weeks ago I have respected UGA and their fans. Both of my parents went to school there. After seeing the acceptance of the intentional unsportsmanlike penalties against UF and then this sudden need to believe that fans and players cannot get motivated without these gimmicks has made me lose respect for your program. These are the types of things that you see from schools who need an extra edge to win. I never thought a school with a tradition like UGA would have to drop to such levels. It is my opinion and it doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with it. Thats the beauty of this country my friend. Enjoy your “red out” on saturday.

SECisFootball, the team accepted those penalties in the UF game that is why they kicked off from the 8 yard line and pretty much gave up the 7 points. There is not a UGA fan on here that thinks that is a good thing. It has never happened before and it will never happen again. As for individuals celebrating? Again nobody on here condones it because it can hurt the team. Does it happen? Of course UGA didn’t invent the unsportsmanlike penalty. Even in the UF game they were called for a couple. Auburn game had a couple of bad calls and a couple of unfortunately good calls (I am one fan that truly believes sthat you need to act like you’ve been there before). I would hazard to guess that on any given football Saturday hundreds of flags are thrown for USL conduct. How many has Bama had thrown against it his year?

As for the “gimmicks”. The players don’t need what you call “gimmicks” to get up for the games. Just suiting up in a Georgia uniform is enough for those kids. A “blackout” isn’t original to UGA. Plenty of other school have had “insert your school color here” days. Seniors thought it would be cool and asked for it. Black uni’s, never been done before. Like the coach said, they work these kids hard on the field and in the classroom. Why can’t we do something they ask to show our appreciation. If it motivates them to beat the crap out of Auburn, why should you be the one to complain? Did you know Saban is making close to 1 million per victory this season?

I understood your statement and don’t blame you on that end. I apologize if I didn’t state my contention clear enough. UGA program is still a classy program. I certainly could not in any respect be considered a gimmicky kind of man and the last one in the world that would like or listen to any kind of rap music. But myself like you are not the ones Richt has to fire up week in and week out.

I would personally prefer the game with only MY likes, wants and needs. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in. These are 18-22 year old kids. Something different from the norm and dancing to rap music is what does it for them. It’s what makes the game of football for them. They are the ones that play the game. I tell you that to tell you this; the fanfare makes no difference. In my day it was completely different and perhaps your day was different from mine. That doesn’t make any of us right or wrong. What matters at the end of the day is the 60 minutes of football we played on the field.

noyellow, That’s the word on the street and sports radio up here. The few UM fans I have talked to love Carr and appreciate what he has accomplished during his tenure but they all think it is over. This was suppose to be his swan song with all the big guys coming back, Henne, Manningham, Hart, couple of OL that all might have gone pro in last years draft (and wished they would have after the first game). They were #5 and suppose to serioulsy contend for the NC. Last week didn’t help at all and this is I think a “better win” type of weekend for him. Rose Bowl would be a nice going away present. The alternative would be devastating. Of course with all those big guys coming back this year he will have to do a ton of rebuilding next year so it falls into a kind of when will it stop sort of thing. They would be another 2-3 years before seriously contending for NC again and that is what UM football is about. Miles would be a welcomed coach. Ton more emotional than Carr. Spark to the program and a great recruiter which UM desparately needs right now. He won’t get fired that is for sure. I think he respects the program enough to say I am retiring to become coach emeritus.

There is also talk that maybe he and Miles didn’t get a long when they worked together because Miles left when Carr became head coach. Falling out? Or Miles wanted the job really really bad and felt dissed? Don’t know but he wants it next that is for certain.

gdawginkalamazoo….you make good points. Like I said, it is my opinion and thats all. I agree with you about penalties and that they do happen but the UGA - UF game was the first I have seen where a team was TOLD to get one. Richt said he would be upset if they didn’t get one. I think players are responsible for their actions on the field but that endzone celebration was instructed by your head coach.

As for your Nick Saban comment, going into the season, we you expecting BAMA to win more than 8 games. Seeing the talent we had, I was expect that 7 - 8 as was most of the BAMA nation. I am sure you will disagree but its true. The payoff in hiring him will be when he started getting his players on campus. Right now we have the #3 recruiting class in the country (per Rivals) and we could end up #1 if a few more pieces fall into place. We are going to be just fine and that amount Saban is making per game will go down. However, if he wins, it may go even higher! :) We will see over the next 2 years. I know I am excited about it.

SECisFootball, I live in Mobile and have to disagree with you on your opinion of Bama winning 7 or 8 and of UGA being a now classless program because we have stooped to something as low as having fun and uniting the Bulldog Nation.

Bama fans drove around here with stickers on the windows of cars that said “S” The Coach,(still are a few, but not near as many as a couple months ago, that’s odd huh), calling the ‘Coach’ St. Nick, etc. The man was and still is literally worshiped for something he hasn’t done yet. When the Tide started 3-0 we heard and read preditions of 8-0 going into the LSU game, National Championships, etc. in the papers and on radio. I won’t stoop to calling a Program “Classless” in public, everyone can make up their own mind. I don’t blame Saban for what he did, and you’re probably right, given time he will bring the Alabama program back up “some”. The Alabama program however was the one who’s class was questioned by many when Shula was fired, and their fans acting like they did. Personally I hope Tuberville gets to use the other hand in 10 days.

If you’re an Alabama fan you come across to me as a real hypocrit when you call out a program with the class that Richt has.

Blackout, Redout, Blowout, Bowlout… good one bra.

I think Shaun Chapa is our secret weapon in the future. Too bad he’s playing behind Southerland another year. Don’t get me wrong, I like Southerland too, but Shaun has so much more agility coming from a fullback. We can utilize him to create some mismatch in the passing game.

And SEC, unless you are living under a rock, you should know the real deal on that meaningless penalty. I suspect you do, but since it doesnt jive with your “ehem” opinion, you just choose to ignore it. BTW copying something from the other 37 folks (all from other schools, imagine that)trying to turn it into some kind of morallistic issue, and repeating it, hardly fools anyone that you are just expressing your opinion.

SECisFootball, won’t fault you for your opinion, we all have one. I would have expected a 7-8 win season as extremely successful for Saban. Don’t care who are coming into new a situation and having to set everything up and get it going would be tough. Regarding that celebration I believe it has been widely published that Richt said he wanted that offensive unit that was on the field, those 11 players only, to get the celebration penalty, NOT the entire team running out there. He didn’t order THAT. He was just as suprised as everyone else. They weren’t there to fight anybody or hurt anybody just celebrate. I haven’t seen anything like it before and I doubt I ever will again.

OldDawg….From Mobile originally but have been here in Atlanta for a while. I have also seen the sticker R - The Coach for Richt and every other coach in the SEC. They even have one for the moron at Ole Miss. While I agree a lot of BAMA fans go their hopes up when we started out with some success but I think that most Alabama fans would agree that before the season, 7-8 wins was what we were expecting. We don’t have enough depth now to compete for the West or overall championship. That is about to change if you look at the recruiting we are doing.

As far as classless goes, I am not a fan out or AD or how the Shula situation was handled. I do know he was asked to make some changes to his staff and he would not. His staff was not getting it done and changes needed to occur. I listen to rivals radio in the mornings and there is a reason that he is referred to as Bambi on that show. I don’t agree with how Saban handled the situation at Miami but understand his point of view as he explains it. He even admits he should have handled it better. So, if you want to call me a hypocrit for saying it about UGA, I am fine with that. However, I think you coach has made a huge hypocrit of himself by his actions after the Vandy game (for which he should be commended) and the UF game (which was the most classless act I have seen from a coach in a while). As I have said many times, it is just my opinion and I am entitled to it just as you are yours.

By Ole Dawg

SECisFootball, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I haven’t seen the sticker in Gator Country, I lived in the Tampa area, Tarpon Springs for 7 years, or here in Alabama until Saban was was bought as Coach, been here for almost 3 years, where there are a lot of AU and LSU fans. I didn’t call the Alabama program classless, I just recalled that a lot of their own fans called the program and Mal Moore classless.

Just my opinion, I believe Richt was probably upset and embarassed with his OWN behavior at midfield after the Vandy game.

None of us were in the locker room that night but I would venture that he had a few things to say to the team, then opened up the floor for comments and discussion and he listened.

Richt knew what he was doing wasn’t working, he challenged his team to man up against Florida, celebrate and have some fun, it could have backfired if Georgia couldn’t have backed it up, but they did. It was a risk, but it worked. If I’m not mistaken, Meyer gathered his own troops and told them they had been called out, then held a little celebration of their own. Then along came the Blackout, there was more electricity in the Bulldog Nation when the Dawgs came out of the Tunnel than there has been since “Run Lindsey Run”. He has helped to orchestrate and allow the Dawgs to find their Identity. The “Gimmicks” as a lot you called them are not the sole reasons for the Dawgs maturity.

Richt’s values haven’t changed, the man has just grown some as a Head Coach. The “Gimmicks” didn’t increase the talent level, they just played to the psychological side of the game.

No hypocrosy here, no felonies committed, no one hurt, just the “pride” put back in the BullDawgs. I believe we saw the transformation of CMR from a Coach to a Leader. Few are born leaders, they work their way and grow into becoming a Leader by trial and error. Richt will maintain control of the Beast some say he has created. No other Coach in the country has more “class” than CMR. No one is perfect but Richt has never done anything classless. He has accounted for what happened.

We all know the Dawgs still have a lot of work to do and can stand to improve in a lot of areas. Bringing Saban to Alabama regardless of how it happened made the SEC a stronger Conference.

Why are you folks always complaining about s* that don’t matter. You b* about Coach Richt being too passive and the minute he sends players on the field suddenly the players are thugs. What Richt did was light a fire under this team, why is that so hard to deal with. Whats wrong with the team dancing on the sidelines at the start of the 4th quarter I guess that falls under being thugish too, will it help to ease you’re minds that the who team was dancing (Stafford, Durham, Southerland, Cottu) those players are white the last time I checked, (the dance by the way is called the Superman). Grow the f up and quit you’re gripping this team is winning what else do you want. Whose fault is it that yall have 2 left feet, we all know that if yall could do it you would’ve. Get a f** life folks

Excellent idea. Nay-sayers, blow it out your you-know-whats. What team doesn’t want their fans as excited as possible?

Yeah, GA is on fire right now… but ya’ll don’t Believe In Blue.. that’s why ya’ll ain’t got no water! that’s what it’s all about this year. GA fans tend to be a little cocky.. Knowshon moreno is good, but he’s not god or nothing… anybody heard of Darren McFadden? he ran for like 250+ yards against the cats, but yet Kentucky won. Brian Brohm threw for like 3somethin against the cats, but yet the Cats won… LSU had the best D in the country but yet the CATS won… the only time kentucky has failed this year is when they’ve been hyped up.. I was born in Augusta, and graduated from a school in henry county… i’ve been a UK fan my whole life, and i was at the game last year.. oh yeah i’m at UK now… people think GA is amazing.. and by the way, Aladawg… It’s C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS… and you should just move to Georgia, cuz we don’t need people like you in Lexington… I don’t care pumped GA is… everybody flat lines.. i like UGA in a very close game… BUT if Woodson gets into a rythym and if the cats D can get UGA off the field twice… it’s over! UK by more than 14 points..

OldDawg…I respect what you have to say and I am just telling you I have seen the stickers for all the coaches in the SEC. They started when Bush ran for president and there were signs W - The President. No big deal though. It is an understatement to say that BAMA fans are not happy anymore with Mal Moore. He has done some good things. We have some of the best facilities in the nation, we have a surplus of funds from the fundraising he has done and he hired Saban. However, he has made a lot of bad moves like Dubose, Fran and Price. I think we can hire a great AD in Ozzie Newsome. We would get a former BAMA guy who has had a lot of success and is very respected in the NFL community. He is interested in the job so we are hoping it happens within the next year.

I dont know much about these “whiteouts”, “blackouts” or “resouts”. We have not really done anything like that at BAMA. I think the last significant uniform change we had was when Bryant had white helmets for 1 season. Lets hope that never comes back! :) I will say that the stadium at BAMA is usually pretty loud for our home games. That has not been why we have been losing though. It has had to do with lower levels of talent than other teams and bad coaching. I expect that will change now with Saban as he is clearly recruiting the best players (we are Julio Jones commitment away from passing UGA in the Rivals rankings) and he is a better and more aggressive coach. Will we see anything like an excessive celebtration penalty order by him? Doubtful. The reason I was shocked with UGA doing it is because it was against what Richt has stood for and very our of character. I would have been opposed to it if BAMA did it as I just don’t believe that should be what is needed to motivate a team. I would think that a 2-17 record against your biggest rival would be enough.
