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!

DEL.ICIO.USRicht: Dogs in title talk to stay
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I had a very enlightening interview with Georgia coach Mark Richt yesterday. It was actually for a story I’m working on for next week. But I had to conduct the interview amongst all the other press that covers the Bulldogs daily and Richt’s answers were poignant enough that I’d imagine some of them will use it before my story comes out Central Michigan week. So I figured I’d share it with the loyal readers of the UGA blog.
The crux of the story I’m working on is, as consensus preseason No. 1 this season and after finishing No. 2 last season, obviously Georgia is in the national championship picture this year. But what I wanted to know from Richt was, looking around at the talent on his practice field, at the players just gone and the ones just coming in, does he feel like he’s gotten the Bulldogs’ football program to the point that it should be contending for the national championship every year.
In a nutshell, Richt said he did. He talked about not being sure when he first arrived at Georgia from Florida State whether he could get it to this point but firmly believed so after that first season. And since then, winning two SEC titles and four Eastern Division titles and playing in three SEC championship games and finishing 13-1 another year, Richt believes that proverbial lid he referred to removing has been knocked off. Basically I gathered that he feels like, if not this year, then the next or the next or the next.
Richt pointed to recruiting as the biggest factor for why he feels this way. He said their closing rate on prospects is very, very good. One publication said the Bulldogs brought in 37 players for official visits last season and signed 23 of those guys (one ended up playing pro baseball and another’s at prep school). The point is, he said, when he talks to recruits in Georgia and, perhaps more importantly, in other states nowadays, they’re usually pretty interested in the Dogs.
I plan on talking to some others outside the program to get some more perspective before crafting my story next week. But in the meantime I’ll share a couple of his quotes and y’all let me know what you think.
Richt on if he thinks this is the way it’s going to be from how on:
“Yes, I think so. I think we’re doing a very fine job of evaluating talent and hitting on a high percentage of the ones we’re going after. I don’t know what the record is across the country but if you look at how many guys make official visits and, of those, how many commit and sign with Georgia it’s pretty good. I’ve forgotten the number now of how many you can bring in any given year but we haven’t even come close to bringing in the number of official visits we’re allowed to bring in because we’ve just really hit on a really high percentage of the guys we’re going after. If you get every other one you’re doing really good but we’re at a better ratio than that and have been there probably the last three recruiting classes.”
Richt on how prospects react to Georgia:
“The name recognition and even the response you get when you make contact with a kid across the country, that may be your best indication. Early on, some in-state guys weren’t all that interested. Now most of them at least have a high-level of interest in us. Somebody may snag them away by looking at a depth chart or maybe a family tie or something like that. And sometimes somebody might just do a better job of recruiting a kid, he just connects with a coach or something. But out of state we’re getting a lot more guys excited about hearing from Georgia than before, by a long shot.”
On not being awed about being No. 1:
“I really and truly don’t think we’re a whole lot different than the last four, five, six years. After our first season I really believed that we could win the Southeastern Conference. The first year I just didn’t know. I didn’t know what we had. Georgia hadn’t won [an SEC title] in 19 years or something. There was probably a reason why and I didn’t know what it was and I didn’t understand the league. There were a lot of things I didn’t know. So going in I didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to try to get the thing going in the right direction. But after the season was over, I was like, ‘you know what, after close [losses] to Auburn and South Carolina, if we had won those games we’re playing for the Southeastern Conference championship.’ So I was like, why not us? I didn’t think we were very far away personnel wise. I thought it was more a matter of changing attitudes and beginning to believe.”
Your thoughts?

I thought Donnan always brought in good talent; they just never wrapped up on tackles or played consistently. Biggest differences now are the depth and overall team speed. I would still like to see some productive recievers, a 1,000 yard rusher year to year (thank you Knowshon), and the kicking game remain strong. Hopefully, Reshad can take me back to the safety All American days: I miss being spoiled.
I think one of the big reasons that we can compete nationally is the allure of Athens. I really hope they don’t overdevelop it because I am starting to get worried. Oh, and the girls…Milledge during Rush…sun dresses. Enough to make a grown man cry in his bourbon.

YES! I was ecstatic last year when I first heard CMR mention in an interview that he feels like we can finally talk about winning an NC! All signs point to the Dawg’s staying here for a while. With our schedule this year we could still run the table or go 8-4, my guess is 11-1 or 10-2. So if this season doesn’t turn out like we want it to do not despair we’ll be knocking on the door for the foreseeable future! I’d love to see a Dawg Dynasty but right now let’s just win a NC then go from there.

Good article…everyone will say “i told you so” when we lose one were not supposed to, but after suffering through the malaise of the mid- 80’s and 90’s, who can honestly say that the dawgs aren’t in the best shape we’ve been in for a long, long time. Quality starts at he top, and CMR and staff are among the best in the NCAA right now. Put another way, which SEC school wouldn’t trade staffs? Oh and how many in row over your instate rival? Good luck Dawgs, the whole nation is gunning for you.

If there’s anyone who understand next year more than any fan bases out there, it’s S. Carolina fans, Tech fans, and you know what, go ahead and add Vol fans to the list, too.
I mean, they last won the SEC in 1998. Funny thing, I thought, for some reason, that the Vols were some dominating force in the SEC in the 1990’s, like Florida was. Florida won 6 SEC titles during that time (of course, they were playing catch-up, as they had never won before… ever).
But Fat Phil has only won two SEC Titles in what, 16 or 17 years of coaching?
That’s what all you Vol fans are hanging your hats on?
Shoot, Coach Richt has won two SEC Titles. In seven years as our coach.
And with the way he’s built our team, he’ll be adding a few more titles to the pile real soon.
He also owns a 4-3 record against Fat Phil.
And here’s the real beauty for me: when Georgia wins the SEC this year, that gives us 13 SEC titles.
Tying us with, yep, Tennessee, for second-most SEC titles all-time.
I understand we’re all chasing Bama in that regard, and they’re at 21 right now, but still…
… I wonder what’ll feel like, Vol fans, when Georgia overtakes you as a historically more important team in the SEC?
Just one less thing you can hang your hat on. Y’all seem to be losing a lot of stuff like that here in the latter years of the Fat Phil Administration.

As Dooley once said Richt was the best hire he ever made. For several years now they have had the talent equal to every other top program in the country and as long as they keep winning that will not change.
The key to the NC for UGA is to stay healthy, develop depth and the hardest part which is to play with a high level of intensity every single game.
Go DAWGS!

By Whopper Dawg
August 28, 2008 11:35 AM | Link to this
I agree with the Coach Richt. In fact, we may be better next year. He really has it going. Every team that wins the national championship needs some breaks, maybe we will get them this year, maybe not. For sure, we don’t have a national championship schedule. LSU, OState, Oklahoma and USC do. So if not this year, than the next or the next as he says, but we should be a top ten team every year, I think that is realistic, and one year when we catch the breaks, watch out. That is all you can do since we play in the SEC.

Even great teams need a bunch of breaks to win an SEC championship… even more for a national championship. Some things, you can control; others, you can’t.
Think about how great our 1980 - 1983 teams were. I personally believe the 1981 and 1982 editions were the best. But which team won an NC? 1980, the year we got the breaks.
If you need a more recent example, think of all the breaks LSU got last year (most notably WVU losing to Pitt, a 23-pt. underdog, on the final weekend). OMG!
All Dawg Nation can ask from their beloved pigskin program is to be exactly where it currently is… in the running every year. Then, if the ball bounces our way, UGA wins the championships.
Whenever I hear CMR speak, I’m amazed at how cool, calm and collected the man is. Did you listen to Tuesday’s press conference? I wondered how he can stay this way, especially with all the hoopla surrounding the 2008 season (#1 ranking, bruising sked, etc.).
Then, as I read Chip’s Q&A with this dude, it occured to me that CMR doesn’t get stressed about any one play, any one game, any one season, because, as Chip put it: he knows he’s here to stay… at or near the top.
CMR’s thought process goes like this: “So the ball doesn’t bounce our way today… no worries. There will be other plays, other games, other seasons. Stay near the top, stay focused on the things you can control, and odds are that UGA will get the breaks it needs to be SEC and/or national champions one day real soon.”
The thought also occurs to me that I (and many other Dawg-loving fans) would do well to think this way. Not just for football, but in everyday life.
When we win the championship, it will be real sweet. Meantime, Dawg Nation can rest assured we’ll be pretty dang good every year while CMR is at the helm.

Chip - good post and looking forward to reading that full article soon.
question for you… where is Boling lining up in practice? Is he going to be the RT in game 2? Or will he replace Glenn at RG?
I sure like to see him in one of those 2 spots. That way we have 3 (Davis, Vance, Bolinng) experienced guys for C. MI, USC, etc… with Glenn and J. Davis rotating in on the right side.
Thanks Chip!

What my good friend Bob fails to mention is that the Vols also won the national title in 1998, not just an sec title. Also, Fulmer dominated UGA in the 90s, winning 9 in a row. Also, we dominate UGA in head to head competition and lead the head to head by a large margin. Also, we have more national titles while you dawgs are stuck in the notorious one club. Did I mention that your one national title came 28 years ago? Make it 29 and counting cause you dang sure won’t win it this year. Lest I forget didn’t we rack up 86 points in 2 blowout wins over you in the last 2 years? I forgot to mention the game in your house 2 years ago where we hung 51 on you. While we all agree Bama easily leads the conference in conference and nat’l titles and head to head against everyone else we are not that far behind them. They only lead us 45-38 in head to head, no one else in the SEC is even close to them head to head except us. We also are not that far behind them in alltime #s of wins. Its Bama, then us not being that far behind, and then everyone else is a distant third behind us. I think we own the head to head against everyone else in the conference. Georgia is 5th or 6th in the conference as far as all around head to head competition, overall winning %, and alltime wins, etc. You are no more than middle of the pack and until u eventually win the sec again you still trail us in sec titles. You are nothing more than a middle of the pack SEC team who has had one good 3 year run 1980-1982 in the history of your program before having some moderately good success under Richt. I say moderately good under Richt because as far as I can see you still haven’t won a nat’l title under Richt while we’ve won one in the last 10 years. And you won’t win one this year after we come into our “home away from home” and hang another 51 or more on your arses. P_ss off you small time, mediocre mutts!

Sacamano - Thanks for once again proving that UGA fans are for the most part classless. Instead of discussing football on the AJC blogs it mostly turns into insulting other teams in the SEC or Tech. The Vols have whipped UGA the last two years and still get no respect from a lot of UGA fans like yourself.
By No Disrespect

While I admire coach Richt and believe he has taken the UGA program to new heights, I also believe he is a fool for throwing this out there. Georgia has always done a great job of recruiting and that talent has not always translated into wins- ie. Quincy Carter, Terrell Davis. And while he has won some SEC championships, he did not even play for one last year. It looks like Mark Richt is showing more of the arrogance of late that in the past he has tried so hard to avoid.
And yes, I’m a Tech fan but I also think that Coach Richt may be right given the talent level. I just don’t agree that a coach should throw this out there prematurely and should instead reach the pinnacle before declaring that his team is a perrenial contender.
I welcome any trash talk you may have in response to this, but I’m in no way disrespecting a great team in UGA.

Georgia has been playing on a national championship level since 2002. We just haven’t put it all together at the right time yet, and there is no guarantee we will in the future either. I am still glad to see that Richt isn’t shying away from the national title talk like he used to though. You almost get the feeling that 10 or 11 win seasons simply aren’t enough anymore, and that is a good thing. Georgia has no reason to aim for anything any lower than being #1 every single year.

Sorry… in the scheme of things, SEC Championships are won on the field.
Mythical National Championships are not.
If the Dawgs win the SEC this year but fail to play for the MNC, I won’t consider this year a failure.
The thing is, CMR won’t either.
Our 13-1 SEC Champion team from 2002 has been ranked AHEAD of the 2006 and 2007 SEC Champions, who finished 13-1 and 12-2. What else did those teams win? The MNC.
And given the fact that OSU has completely s—t the bed in the last two MNCs, then I’m sorry, but I refuse to believe they were the best team in 2002, undefeated or not.
Luck, Vol fans.
Luck gets you the MNC. You of all fan bases should know that. If Clint Stoerner doesn’t fumble, y’all don’t have an MNC, but y’all would still have the SEC Championship that year.

Richt didn’t throw anything out there. He was responding to questions asked of him by Chip Towers. He did not make any predictions or guarantee anything. He was simply sharing his opinion on the state of the program. He is entitled to have an opinion. Just like you are entitled to b!tch and moan when he says something you don’t like.
Arrogant? That is laughable. Look to your own coach if you want arrogant. The guy has yet to coach a down of BCS football but acts like a reporter has slapped his mom if they even raise one question about his offense. He has proven absolutely nothing. Richt has proven that he can make Georgia in to one of the best teams in the best conference in a America. Cry about it Techie.

I am not sure how you really win a fictional national title. I am pretty sure how you win an SEC Championship game, which we have been to 3 times since UT won one. If Vols fans want to quote NCs, let’s quote all fictional NCs not just the ones we like. We one won in 1942 and a few other years finished number one.
I don’t suspect you will sneak up on the dawgs this year and, maybe Chip can confirm this, I bet that is the one game circled on our calendar.
The truth probably is that Vern wasn’t happy a few years ago when we kept stomping on their face with a hobnailed boot, and has grown a pair based on their recent success. Someone tell me the next time two historical teams tee it up between the hedges; otherwise, I am not listening.
I agree w/ OldSchool, the man was stating that the team will be competitive on a national level; something it wasn’t before he came. Outside of UCLA in basketball (84 games?), nobody wins every year…just ask the Patriots.

Great post Oldschooldawg. CMR definitely has the program in the right place and it appears it’ll stay that way. My only wish is that Dawg Nation would concentrate more on winning SEC championships cause the rest will follow. One game at a time and hopefully win the SEC. NC talk is just talk; it might take a perfect season AND luck. The polls are finicky and will knock you socks off with one loss. Wait and see; one loss and the media will be all over the Dawgs and will show no mercy. Gooooo Dawgs! Beat Ga Southern!

VERN THE VOL,You have some of your facts wrong big guy. Georgia is third all-time in conference win % behind TN And Bama. Georgia has 12 SEC titles while TN has 13. Tennessee only leads the head to head series by like 5 games. Georgia still has a 9 game lead on Florida in the series so that tells you how dominate we were before Spurrier. Georgia also has 2 national titles not 1. You act like Tennessee is some awesome football world power. Looking at the stats Tennesse isn’t as wonderful as you think. Tennessee has produced alot of average teams just like Georgia. Don’t go spouting off too early about the trip to Athens. GO DAWGS!!

Georgia’s recruiting classes in 2003, 2004, and 2005 received some high marks by the so called experts in the recruiting reporting business. But when you consider the numbers lost because they couldn’t qualify academically they were only okay, not great.
At that point Georgia had to take some academic chances on recruits. Now they are in a position to take fewer and that has a huge impact.
Georgia’s results since Richt arrived are some of the best in football. Last year was a surprise to most, especially since last year’s team was one of the youngest in football. This one is too and it appears success for the forseeable future is in the cards.

Hey Bob and RN Dawg
What has TN done lately?
Hmmmm…won the SEC East last year (yeah, we won and don’t try to claim titles we didn’t actually win)
Since 2000 and God (i.e. Mark Rich showed)
played in SEC championship game
TN 3 (01, 04, 06) GA 3 ( 02, 03, 05) FL 2 (00, 06)
SEC titles (using crazy UGA math with ties)
TN 4 GA 4 FL 3
TN has crushed UGA the last two years and scored a combined 86 points
TN has won 3 out of 4 against UGA UGA didn’t not beat TN ONCE IN THE ENTIRE DECADE OF THE 1990S. Fulmer is 11-5 all time against UGA Fulmer is 6-2 against UGA in ATHENS
Not too bad for a program on the downside, huh?
Mark it down…TN has a ton of talent this year and either TN or FL wins the SEC east.
Notice how LSU, FL, and TN fans don’t feel the need to constantly tell everyone had great they are.
Like Kid Rock says “It ain’t cocky if you back it up.”
Time to back it up UGA…prediction 9-4 for the mightly dawgs

You dog fans can bash Vern all you want, but he’s correct in pointing out the NC titles, SEC title and SEC wins per program. Bama is first, followed by TN, with UGA, LSU, Auburn and UF in some order after that. UGA has had a couple nice seasons in the past 7 years, but to say they will compete for NC’s every year is ludicrous as every program has down years where they will be playing in the chic fil A bowl (or worse)…that is where UGA was playing just a few years ago, right? And if you want to address recent history of the past 2 years, UGA is 0-2 against UT, 1-1 against SC and 1-1 against UF. That is not dominating the east by any means…and I expect that trend to continue this year as the pups schedule is gonna hurt…just you watch.

Considering CMR’s last three recruiting classes and how it’s shaping up for the 2009 class, it would have been less than honest if he said UGA would have been less than a top ten team for the foreseeable future. With the coaching staff and the talent in Athens, the Dawgs are going to be in the hunt for the MNC for at least the next three years. What would make anyone think this is going to change? CMR has stated repeatedly that he is not going anywhere and he has done a very good job of maintaining continuity on his staff. I can actually visualize our recruiting getting better. What team in the country would not like to have both Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenburger committed to them?

Uh, no.
Vern is not correct in many of his assertions.
Georgia has 2 consensus National Titles (1942 and 1980) along with 3 other non-consensus titles we don’t claim (1927, 1946, 1966), which, unlike Alabama, Ohio State, and USC, we don’t claim to make ourselves look better.
Georgia is not middle of the pack in the SEC in winning percentage. We’re right at the top along with Bammy and the Vowels.
I was correct. The Vols have 13 titles, and we have 12. We will catch and pass y’all. That was the whole impetus behind my original posting, the fact that y’all think you’re hot s—t. yet, in 17 years of Fat Phil, y’all have won exactly the same number of SEC titles that Mark Richt has won in 7 years.
Also, Richt is 4-3 against Tennessee. But if you want to take recent history (which can be as long as 18 games if you’re a Gator fan), I always say, the only thing that is recent is what happened last game. Yep, y’all won. Congrats. We finished No. 2 in the nation. I’ll take that, thank you very much.
Anyways… Vern was off on many points, but what can you expect from an ignorant hillbilly?
He just don’t know no better. Know what I mean, Vern? Hahaha!

Refreshing how CMR doesn’t feel the need to poor-mouth the program or dampen expectations.

It’s not bragging if you can back it up.

Vern the Vol- We all can agree that historically Bama and Vols are top two winning programs in SEC, But your assessment of the Bulldogs being 5th or 6th in the conference I don’t agree with. Here are the facts: All time records and head to head; Alabama 787-314-43 pct..706, Tennessee 778-325-55 pct..695, Georgia 713-381-54 pct..644, LSU 692-378-47 pct..640, Auburn 676-388-47 pct..629, Florida 628-372-40 pct..623. Head to Head Georgia have a winning record against only Florida of the other 5 while Tenn. have a winning record against Florida and LSU. You mention Alabama specifically, Tennessee VS Alabama 37-45-7, Georgia VS Alabama 24-35-3. Tennessee VS Georgia 19-15-2. With these numbers Georgia is no worse than third all time in this conference. They are one of only three programs with 700 or more wins and they are third in the conference titles. I just don’t think you are giving us the credit we’ve earned.

The reason UGA hardly ever has players from those states on the roster is because we hardly ever recruit any!

Vern - you know, it’s funny. Any of us can reference statistics that back up our point and twist an argument to work to our advantage. However, if I ask you to tell us which program (UGA or UT) is in better shape right now, it’s really not even close. You have to travel back to the year 2001 to find a year where Tennessee rank higher than UGA in the final AP bowl.
UT hasn’t gone to a BCS bowl since Nebraska beat you in the 2000 Fiesta Bowl. It that same period of time, UGA has been to 3 (winning 2).
One program has a coach on the hotseat, while another has one of the hottest coaches in the nation.
I’ll admit - you guy’s beat us the past two years. But, by the end of the last several seasons, their isn’t a VOL fan out there that wouldn’t trade places with UGA’s situation.
Also - WRONG BOB - nope, you need to check your facts. The final AP top 25 poll in 2006 raked the Dawgs 23rd - two spots higher than UT. BTW, that’s the only year since 2001 that UGA didn’t finish in the top 10.

So you’ve won one, why can a team not win two or three in a row? What happens to a team after they win a championship? Where does that desire go? Was it used up? Not hungry anymore? Three programs have been right in it in the BCS era, USC, LSU and OSU. But every team that wins it since Nebraska in the 80s can’t win it the following season.
Also, to the TheOhioState guy…every state in our fine nation has backwards, uneducated, loudmouth idiots. I have traveled extensively in Ohio, MI, PA, and IN, (as well as almost all the states and several other countries) and I really pay attention to regional differences, accents, trends, etc., and I can say without a doubt that some of the worst offenders of what you would call “redneck” behavior comes in the areas surrounding the old Rust Belt…all those states I called out. I will be in Dayton in two weeks, and Columbus for a week after that…HUGE people…not tall, but about 250lbs give or take, many with OSU t-shirts from Wal*Mart all with these black shorts that show off their unnaturally white skin that looks as if the sun never shines there.

HOWEVER, if you remove from the record games against Vandy and Kentucky, here’s how it stands:
Tennessee: 216-152-17
UGA: 240-188-18
Yeah, sure Tennessee has more SEC victories than UGA. Forgive me for not being impressed by UT having played those 2 SEC cellar dwellers 55 more times than UGA has played them.

Altamaha… the reason why there IS a black market is because all students who want tickets don’t have the opportunity.
Adams is a fascist dictator.
He unlilateraly makes changes to the university with no input from teachers or the SGA.
The UGA SGA is, in my eyes, the weakest and most ineffectual SGAs in the country.
And I understand full well that for students to get tickets, the “newest” or poorest alums get left out in the cold.
To that I say boo-frickity-hoo.
When they were students (unless it was last year) they never had to deal with this ridiculous greed from Adams and his Puppet, Evans.
They can wait a few years as their donations build.
The University if for the STUDENTS.
It’s high time Adams remembers that, as he tramples on our student rights with his tyranical plus-minus system which is already hurting UGA under-grads when it means getting into grad school, because a 3.0 at UGA is really, at a place like, I don’t know, anywhere else, probably something like a 3.5.
Yeah, did you know that an A is no longer an A at UGA?
Get a 90 to a 92, and that’s no longer a 4.0. It’s an A minus, with is like a 3.8 or 3.75.
It’s ridiculous.

You nailed it. The Buckeyes are fortunate indeed to be able to circle 2 games a year that might be competitive. It’s a travesty (another one) that the BCS allows for this in their polling. I know that the apologists argue otherwise, but strength of schedule is ignored in the human polls. How many times do you hear “OSU has a fairly easy schedule, BUT they are still talented enough to be top 5”? That makes it obvious that SOS is overlooked in favor of “potential” and hypotheticals.
The’re not the only team that the human polls prop up on shaky assertions, but the most prominent at the moment. It’s dispiriting for other schools to have to prove themselves on a yearly basis that such programs are given high rank as almost a birthrite.

I’ll be honest. I was one that felt Donnan was a good coach and should have gotten another year in 2001. I really thought he had us on the right track and the recruiting would be the key. Yet I also realize that he wasn’t retain because of a dispute with Admams, that’s life and Coach Donnan is still very well respected and hasn’t said a bad word about the school or the program.
I liked the hire of coach Richt because I use to love watching FSU and their offense always was deep, so when Richt was announced the coach I knew it wouldn’t be long before GA had quality depth. Coach Richt has laid the foundation the last 7 years and he will continue to build on it. From recruiting, player development and disipline (every school has arrest so go figure) he was able to show ther fruits of that on the field. EVERY year there has been a suspension at a spot that allowed another player to step up and get that playing time and produce, in years past FLA and TN would have been able to expose the lack of tdepth. Richt is a gamer and he is cool calm anc collective but you know his min dis always churining an dwhen you have a coach liek that you can be very dangerous. Georgia is here to stay as long as Richt is here and doesn’t let Rodney Garner or Stacy Searls go anywhere. I was a teeny bopper in the 80s and all I heard was GA Football but growing up in HS in the 90s I’ll admit I really didn’t think GA Football was as good as I was “taught” to believe, well Richt has restored that three-fold. No disrespect Coach Goff but ‘92 was your best season, and Donnan your best season was ‘97. Richt….hasn’t had his best season yet!!!

OSU = losing bowl record
OSU = less bowl appearances that UGA, less bowl wins that UGA, but MORE bowl losses to UGA.

I respect that a couple of UGA fans actually threw out a couple of meaningful stats. However, you can slice it all you want, TN still has more wins. P.S. You got to play florida a million times when they were terrible too.
Lets check on a couple of myths out there…Richt’s great bowl record….exactly who in the h* has Georgia beaten worth a crap under Richt in a bowl game. Please, do not bring up Florida State, they were 9-5 that year. Also, after Florida hangs 70 on Hawaii on Sat, please don’t embarrass yourself with that one. Keep beaten up on Purdue and Iowa or whoever the other crappy teams you play in bowls.

Sorry, y’all… there’s nothing, and I mean nothing worse than Natty Ice or Lite.
Busch comes close, but Natty Ice and Natty Lite, the favorite of poor enlisted-men in every barracks across the great country and overseas, is by far, the worst-tasting pi$$-water beer in the world.
PBR is like a fine-crafted Beglian Wheat Beer in comparison to Natty Ice or Natty Lite.
And I would have to say Natty Ice is the worst, because Natty Ice will give you the worst case of the s—ts ever.
That’s why, when I drink cheap American beer, I drink the only cheap beer that tastes like a beer: Miller Lite. Everything else, Bud, Bud Lite, all of the other cheap American beers… disgusting.

He Joe, name me how many times in the last, I don’t know, seven years the Dogs began the season unranked?
If you really believe the Dawgs are going to lose six games this year, please, please, please tell me you’re willing to put money on it?
I’ll even do you a solid, I’ll put the over under at three games, as in, I’ll take the under and you can take the over.
Okay? Since you’re here saying we’ll lose 6 games, I’m giving you three games!
So, you ready to put down some big bills on it?
Over under at 3 games? Push and no one wins?
That means I don’t get ANY money if the Dogs lose 3 games, and have to pay YOU, who are so sure they’ll lose six games money if they lose 4.
Come on, you know you want to take my money, right?
Come on, if you’re so sure, put your money where you mouth is.
$500 sound alright to you? How about $1000.
$1000 on the over under at 3 games.
Come on. If you’re so positive, it’ll be the EASIEST money you’ll make all year!
Come on! Put your money where your big, fat mouth is!
You know you want to do it! Come on!
Take the bet!

Disney, they did not even have Beast Lite when I was at UGA. Five Points package store had 12 packs of Bud very reasonable at the time. No Bud Light back then either. I made a deal with the Schlitz warehouse back then and my frat would get the kegs from them at a very reasonable price. Iced down Schlitz or Old Milwaukee did not taste too bad back then out of the keg. I bought so many kegs the supervisors would call me up at the frat and I would go down to Papa Joe’s on Baxter Fridays, and drink free beer until I could barely walk back home.
I think CMR is just stating the obvious. With the staff he has accumulated and the recruits we get, we should stay in the top ten for years to come. Not only do we have a great head coach, I believe we have the top assistant staff in the country, just my opinion. I will go to a local watering hole and watch the Dawgs on Saturday and I look forward to watching the third string play, the future stars. Southern in their glory days would give us fits for three quarters. With what I see on paper, I don’t think they can repeat as the Southern of old we used to play.

Donnan brought in great talent and had good asst. coaches. However, the work ethic was never there to CONSISTENTLY win in the SEC. The smartest thing Richt ever did was bring VanHalanger with him from FSU. VanHalanger brought MAT Drills and an unreal work ethic with him to UGA. That was the only person that had FSU ties with Richt when he started. Richt embraced UGA’s history immediately(which Donnan ignored), and he made UGA his place without trying to copy FSU too much. Coach VanGorder also deserves some credit for transforming the type of Defensive players we roll out on the field every Saturday. Also, I read a story after the 2001 season that Richt would sit in our in-state recruits living rooms and ask them if all of the best players in the state would commit to UGA would UGA win the NC? Their response was inevitably “of course”. Richt used to answer them with, “what are we waiting for then”. That is what has really changed the face of the program, in-state athletes are staying home to play for the Dawgs! We are here to stay with Richt!
HBTD!

PRACTICE UPDATE
Or, to be completely honest, a sort of pre-practice update. Practice is completely closed today. And since we’ve seen CMR pretty much every day since preseason camp opened, he likes to field our questions before Thursday practice so we can all get home at a decent hour tonight. Richt won’t. After breaking reviewing video of today’s final run-through, he and the coaches will tweak the final gameplan and go over Saturday’s logistics. Then he has to be at Showtime Bowl at 10:30 p.m. for registration for the students bowling league he has founded. But, he said, he’ll make sure the TVs there are on ESPN. …
Here’s what we learned (which wasn’t much new):
Richt’s “very curious to see the offensive line in action. He said he’s also very curious to watch freshmen in action and “see how they react to their first opportunities.” His guess that well over 15 redshirt and true freshmen will play. Probably about 10 of the latter. They’ve averaged about 6 a year before now…
CMR said more frosh will likely play later. He recalled that Fred Gibson and Charles Johnson didn’t see their first action until a few games into their first season… .
Asher Allen is not out of the mix as a punt returner but is definitely returning kickoffs and wouldn’t do both if it was up to Richt. He wasn’t sure if Asher or Remarcus Brown would be first up on kickoffs returns but you’ll probably see both… .
Blair Walsh will handle placement kicks but is in “a dead heat” with freshman walkon Jamie Lindley for kickoffs. Lindley is a graduate of Savannah Christian… .
O-line play will be more about the rotation that the depth chart. For instance, walkon Casey Nichols is listed as the No. 2 left tackle but the second guy that will actually be starting guard Vince Vance. Meannwhile, when Vance goes out to tackle or out of the game, Tanner Strickland may come in at guard or they may bring in Ben Jones at center and slide Chris Davis over to guard… . It’s going to be a real Chinese fire drill on the line.
When Clint Boling comes back from suspension next week, he could come in at right guard, right tackle or left tackle depending on how the guys there look this Saturday… .
That’s about all that was pertinent. I’ll blog tomorrow but, otherwise, C-ya at Sanford!

Bob, Looks like you just may be taking Joe’s money. 6 losses for the Dawgs is kinda whacky. I can’t see them going 13-1 or 14-0 either but 6 losses is just hatin on the dawgs. They are a very good team but I think they lose 2 games on the low side and 4 on the very high side. Its not that UGA isn’t good. Its that everyone else in the conference is good and the nonconference schedule is tough also with a trap game in the desert and I expect Tech to be humming by the end of the year(laugh as we SEC fans may).There are clearly 4 teams that are UGAs equal in Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, and LSU. And on top of that the dawgs will have to either play LSU or Auburn twice. So those are 5 very loseable games. Even the other games like Bama, South Carolina, and Arizona State in the desert are not cupcakes. Georgia will be favored but that doesn’t guarantee a win. Even Kentucky, Vandy, and Ga. Tech you can’t just walk in and think you’re going to win just by showing up.

With all of this great, fantastic top 5 classes Georgia fans talk about, it kind of makes you wonder why the last two National Champions are Florida and LSU? The SEC has won 3 National Championships since Mark Richt took over. Yet Georgia has ZERO national championships and ZERO national championship appearances during that period…Also, makes you wonder with Tenn. so down and all, yet they won the SEC East last year too and have played in 3 of the last seven…
Could it be that perhaps Mark Richt and his coaches aren’t the GODS Georgia fans make them out to be????? I leave you with that RED and Black

Sacamono,
Stop moaning over the plus/minus system. What makes you think no one else uses it? Almost everyone does. If you want to talk about people getting screwed by grade inflation, you’re going to have to look to the liberal arts colleges, where smaller class sizes and a greater emphasis on teaching generally results in tougher grades.
On the blog topic, I’m excited about the development of UGA recruiting. Looking forward to year after year of exciting Dawgs games (and at the same time hoping that at some point there’ll be something worth watching up here in N.Carolina other than bball).

volnation55, did ever occur to you and other idiots like you that it is possible for Georgia, LSU, and Florida to ALL be great teams? Isn’t that what makes the SEC so special? Yes, Florida had a great team in 2006. Yes, LSU has probably been the best SEC team of the decade thus far. They’ve definitely got something special going on over there. But none of this takes away from what Georgia has done under Mark Richt. He has had unbelievable success, national championship or not. Winning 72 games in 7 seasons is great. Winning an SEC title is great. Georgia is a great team. This is the SEC of the 21st century. There are alot of great teams. This isn’t the SEC of the 90’s where Tennessee only had to worry about Florida every year. Now they’ve got to worry about every SEC team on their schedule, and it really shows with no SEC title in 10 years. By the way, you’re welcome for us beating Florida last year you ingrate. Hard to believe that a team that got 59 dropped on it was the SEC East champ, but it happened. A little gratitude would be nice.

Tybee, a lesson on beer. MBL won a domestic beer taste test a few years back, lot of folks don’t know that. It was documented in the St Pete Times when I lived down that way and had to deal with dem Gator Folks.
People are so uneducated and uninformed about stuff like good cheap beer, they’re into labels. I can get a case of the Beast for less than $10 here in Mobile.
A couple of weeks ago we went out of Tarpon Springs about 50 miles into the gulf for the weekend right before Fay came up. I took two cases of MBL, nobody would touch it except me, needless to say I didn’t run out over the weekend.
Great trip fishing, see where you went for the sacred oath. Got some sausage, wings and red beans n rice along with some MBL. Don’t know who to pull for tonight. I can’t stand Spurrier and love to see him get drilled, however I guess my selfish self would rather USC be undefeated and get crushed by the Dawgs.

I was looking up the records for OSU and Michigan bacause they’re poll darlings and I wanted to see why. Both have great overall records (UM has the best ever) but both have losing bowl records. I would hazard a guess that part of that is the fact that both get schooled almost annually in the Rose Bowl by the, ahem, dominant Pac 10. Another is that they get exposed as generally good, but not overwhelming, football teams. In fact, for all the preferential poll positioning UM had not, until 1997, won the NC since 1948 (OSU’s last was in 1970 before winning it in 2002, which I consider tainted because no SEC team had the chance to administer their regular beating to the Buckeyes that year).
Let’s face it: the Big 10 is a two team conference. Those two teams feel that beating the same hapless teams over and over entitles the winner of their yearly game to advance to the NC game. The problem is that the polls, both the media and the coaches, have bought into this delusion.

Just my ramblings…LSU, Tenn, UGA, and sometimes Awbun, are all rated top five and top 10 in recruiting every year for the past several years. With all that great recruiting, they should be ranked highly every year in the pre-season. And they should finish top 20 every year. Numbers 1 and 2, maybe 1-5, in the rankings should be great teams and should be able to beat just about any other team. There generally isn’t much difference between 5 thru 20, and any of those teams should be able to beat any of the others. The ol’ on any given Saturday theory. The Evul Jeanius used to make fun of Donnan for having great recruiting but not winning the SEC. His point was valid; and Flawduh always shot for the SEC championship. Then, with some luck, NC’s would follow. I hate NC talk at the beginning of a season. Too much has to happen, mainly with mercurial poll voters. CMR is a class guy and was only responding to a reporters questions. The amount of class of several SEC coaches is debatable lately. EG Petrino and Saban. Still, Saban had a great recruiting class. I hate how a losing program still gets major pub (initials Notre Dame). USC is for real. OSU has a weak sked but still gets major consideration.
