Chip all 3 games will be tough. Cat’s are tough on D and have a mobile QB, them playing at home is worth a few points. Auburn hasn’t upset anyone all year and they always find one of their best games of the season for us. GT can move the ball against any team and their D is always good, they 2 will be playing their best game possible. I don’t think any of these 3 games should be chalked up as wins until the points are on the board. No doubt in my mind as to the talent level of these 3 teams, all 3 teams have playmakers on them just like ours, team with the fewest mistakes will win, until the Dawgs stop some of the mistakes and missed assignments any of these 3 games are up for grabs.

Of Course…, please. Give me a break! This year has been a disappointment, but not on the same level as Tommy Bowden and Clemson. If UGA played in the ACC you could say that, but the SEC is extremely difficult to get through unbeaten. Plus, with the wonderful BCS system we have, you have to be perfect (which most teams aren’t) and then you have to have luck to play for the national championship.

As for the remaining schedule, I think UGA has an excellent chance of going unbeaten. Obviously, Tech is looking to be the most difficult game left (they’re actually good this year, and we WON’T be on the road to play them).

As for bowls, it all depends on Alabama. If they win out and go to Miami, I think we go to the Capital One Bowl, anything other than that scenario, then book your tickets for Tampa and the Outback Bowl.

No one on our remaining schedule has an offence. And that includes tech. Paul Johnson has yet to face an athletic D. UGA’s may not be great, but they are too fast for the gimmick offence Johnson runs. Teams will figure it out, and Johnson will have to alter his system greatly or follow Gailey’s path. It’s fun for the nerds to watch until it gets blown up.

Of course there’s a chance they can lose ALL THREE GAMES!! I loved the Dawgs before I was a UGA grad, but face it the team are a bunch of underachievers. Sad but true. They have the talent to be great, but in order to be national champions they have to temper their brimming confidence with stern discipline. I have no problem with their swagger…that’s cool with me, but their lack of discipline on and off the field has undermined their potential.

Well hopefully we won’t drop another one, but I’m not going to bet my house on it.

We need to be thankful that Tenn and Auburn are having off-years because in normal seasons we may end up with 4 losses. And I’m thankful that LSU didn’t give us more trouble as I thought they would because we might have ended the season with 5 losses.

And I am thankful that we didn’t play South Carolina later in the season because if we played them now we might have different results, too. We could have ended the season with 6 losses. I really thought Spurrier would have South Carolina playing more like Alabama by this season.

And Tech may put up a good fight against us yet and could upset us…. though I don’t think they will this season. If that happens, that could have put us at 7 losses theoretically.

So I guess I should be glad we only have 2 losses at this point and hope we don’t lose the remaining 3 games. We could have ended really ended up with a 5-7 season or a 7-5 season. So I’ll just hope for a 10-2 regular season and be thankful while being disappointed at the same time.

As long as we have Sweet Willie and Boo Boo running the defense and the offense we will certainly lose at least two more games, I hope Boo Boo has a better game plan this week, but I doubt it, and for Sweet Willie, will will “read and back up’ and give Kentucky about 6 yards per offensive play, why aren’t we seeing a senior on the defense step up and be a Leader, the reason is Sweet Willie is not a motivator and we have no pride or passion on the defensive side, UGA will probably eek out another win and then we can hear the coaches say ” a win is a win, it may not be pretty, but it is still a win’ yea right over Kentucky, FIRE UP BULLDOGS, you are much better than this…………………

Dawgs win out. The year will be a big let down and another “what if” season is behind us. We’ll finish in the top 7 again and just have to pray we stay healthy on the O and D line next year. I think Stafford and Moreno will come back to leave a mark in UGA history (versus a small dent). If they don’t we still have the players to compete for a NC. Gonna be interesting to see if CMR will make any changes in the staff. 11-2 is not 13-0 but it’s still pretty dang good.

Sure, there’s a chance. This is the SEC. On any given Saturday, anyone can beat everyone else.

Don’t count the 11-2 season until the games are played.

I just hope my Gators are as keyed up for their remaining games as as they were for the Georgia game. It still has the potential to be the Gators’ year.

UGA is the best team this decade not to play for a NC. Dogs finish 11-2 by winning Outback or Cotton. They have a week off to prepare for GT. No matter the record, those boys from Lee County, AL always give fits, but this year UGA should win by at lest 2 TD’s. Better luck next year.

What a difference a week can make.At this point, Georgia could lose one or more games out of the final three. It depends upon our ability to get refocused and motivated. A win over us would make the season for each of our opponents. Kentucky is not a joke and could upset us. Auburn has the same players that got them rated in the preseason top 10. Two years ago the shoe was on the other foot when we upset them at Auburn. How badly will Tuberville want us? Tech is becoming a together program and will be primed to stop the Richt streak. We will find out when Georgia takes the field tomorrow whether we regroup and keep fighting or give up and let the season go down like the Titanic.

By Brett

November 7, 2008 9:27 AM | Link to this

Sure we could lose another game (specifically, I’m a tad nervous about the Tech game)….

This season has been disappointing for a couple reasons: 1. Expectations were so high that anything less than a BCS title or at least an SEC title shot would have been disappointing. 2. The two losses were horrible! One that bad could have been considered a fluke (see last year vs. TN), but two blow outs like say something.

I wish I knew what it said. GA has one enough big ones under Mark Richt (that first TN win, that Auburn win for his first SEC Championship, last year vs. Florida, two years ago vs. LSU) to dispute some notion that Coach Richt ‘Can’t win the big ones.’

That said, this year is confounding. Was our talent level really that big of a drop off from last year? Is it really coaching or could it be just talent? I think it’s too early to throw coaches under the bus. Heck, last year we finished number 2 or 3 depending on the polls.

I’m just glad that I have newborn twins and a toddler so that my whole life doesn’t revolve around college football this year.

I’d say all three games could go either way but as far as I’m concerned, the season’s a disaster already considering how Bama and Florida handled us! Great teams don’t get down 31-zip at half or get blown out 49-10. I know we’ve had injuries but either we’ve vastly over-rated this team or the coaching staff has vastly underperformed. Right now the only coaches I even like are Coaches Searels, Jancek, and Garner. I think Richt’s a good man but I’m beginning to suspect his ability and if he doesn’t make some changes to his staff before next season, those suspicions will probably turn into full-fledged doubts. And I really don’t care how many games he won! My question is can he win the big one? If I were Richt I’d be ashamed to continue using the slogan “Finish the Drill” because as far as I’m concerned he and most of his staff have yet to “Finish the Drill”. I don’t expect to win every game but dang if you’re going to lose can you at least show a little fight and keep it close? Yeah I know about the turmovers and bad calls. But so what? Every team will face adversity but the playcalling and personnel packages in the Florida game never gave this team a chance to win. And for that I lay it squarely on the coaches. Wake up Richt … you’re beginning to lose us!

UGA starts out the season ranked #1 in the LAND in ‘08 - starts out 4-0 against a bunch of patsies, and gets pounded on NATIONAL TV by AL 41-30, after the aforementioned 31-0 halftime debacle. Then UGA gets pounded 49-10 by UF after going into the game ranked #5 in the country while UF is #8.

Clemson starts out ‘08 season #9 in the country, and gets pounded by AL on national television, then goes on to lose 3 of the next 6.

Yes, we win out! Funny how at the beginning of season, most folks said it would be considered a strong season if we escape our schedule with only 2 losses. Well, we have a great chance to still do so. Since many folks had FL and Bama circled as losses anyways, other than those scores, where are the surprises. If anything, LSU was a surprise in our favor. South Carolina is looking like a quality win as well. A W is a W. Obviously, we haven’t played as well as the end of last season, and I am crushed that we are out of the SEC barring a slight miracle, but all things considered, 11-2 would be respectable. I think the biggest issue was a young team having to handle the spotlight since day 1. It will be off of us next season, but even if not, we will handle it better. (I remember TN starting pre-ranked #3 a few years back, and ending up like 6-5, Auburn went thru similar), and we still have cahnce at 11-2. It could be worse…a lot worse.

Candidly going into the season I was specifically worried about the Auburn game. How naive was that? I completely overlooked Alabama, considering they where still a year away from being ready. The Florida game would be heated, but figuring UGA had leveled the playing field both physically and mentally. Thus proving the Auburn game the potential stumbling block since the game is on the road and we all know how that works out.

Getting back on the subject however, UK is a solid program but w/o Lyons and Locke the teams two biggest offensive weapons I find it hard for UK to stick with UGA for 4 quarters (Also how can any true fan suggest CMR has lost this team? Complete idiot!) UGA still has to much talent on both sides of the ball and beleive it or not very good coaches to allow this team to not compete to the highest level. UGA wins this one, close for three quarters and then pulling away in the fourth. Something for the first time we will have seen all season.

UGA- 34

UK- 20

The Auburn game will pit us against a team fighting for its coaches job, and theplayers playing for respect. Always a hard fought game that will test UGA’s passion and heart. It will be a grind it out game and Stafford will have to fight through adversity.

UGA 17

Auburn 13

The real test is Georgia Tech. While Top to bottom it is easy to see UGA is the more talented roster, but what Tech may lack in talent they play as a collective unit both offensively and defensively. UGA will have to force Tech into some fumbles, which Tech has had a propensity for. Tech will rely on those 15 play run drives that destroy the T.O.P and the defenses will. If UGA does not force turnovers and long third down attempts it will be a long day in Athens. Nesbitt must have to pass the ball down field. This does not even figure in the Tech players motivation for ending the losing streak. This could be the real game to watch for the upset. Obviously as a UGA I cannot pick it , but would not be surprised at all by it.

MrMaconDawg, LMAO! Our pass defense is 10th in the SEC. Texas Tech would shred those guys faster than Enron does paperwork. We were supposed to have “shutdown corners”, some the fastest DB’s out there this year. Yet I watch Percy Harvin cut across the middle into the end zone without a Bulldog within 10-15 yards of him. Hell I think Bobby Bouche was closer. Auburn no matter their record can go either way. Tech has been inconsistent this year, losses to Virginia and the squeaker with GW make you wonder. But this is the time of the year where all teams seem to be playing their best. I say we win out and if we do go to the Capital One or Outback Bowl. Cotton would be nice change of pace and good for Stafford but…

facing any one of those top Big 12 teams would be scary with the eggs that we have been laying this season. Big 12 would have to be the top conference this year in terms of competitiveness.

I think UGA has more talent than any of the remaining teams on the schedule, and I don’t think our coaching staff is to blame for the problems to this point. The massive number of injuries have played a big role in the W-L record.

The question is, Will guys like Ellerbe, Mo Mass, and Corvey Irvin be able to lead and challenge this team to finish strong? We’ll know by about 1:30 tomorrow.

This is the only football game I can’t make it to this year, so I’m headed over to the Steg tonight. Too bad we won’t get to see Thompkins yet, but I’m interested in the development of all the other young guys too. Is TWood ready to play yet, or will his injury keep him out also? Will Thompkins be back for next week? With football still going strong, it’s hard to find many updates…

I will admit that this season is a bit of a disappointment, but all is not lost. Anytime you can win 11 games including a bowl game, you are at least a good team. The problem with this season is that we actually thought we had a chance at being great this year. I will admit, It may be time for Willie to move on. I think after watching tape and looking at the amount of talent georgia has coming in and already on the roster, there is a sense or urgency to get this defense playing the way they are suppose to play. I actually hope Stafford and Moreno leave for the NFL. I dont think these two players can get the job done in terms of winning a championship. I like guys like Aaron Murray and Washuan Ealy and Dontavious, these backs are very quick and more explosive than Moreno and I kthink Moreno is a special back.Aaron is going to bring the special season to Ga, that we are looking for.

Yes, we will lose another game. This has looked like a 10-3 team at best from the very opening kickoff against Georgia Southern. I have waited and waited for that moment to come when they would turn the corner, but it is not going to come. I am one of the most optimistic Georgia fans you will ever see, if not delusional. But when you get beat down 49-10 something is seriously wrong. Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia Tech, and whoever our bowl opponent will be are more than capable of knocking us off if we don’t play better. One of them will.

With that said, the fact that a 10 win season will be considered a soul crushing disappointment is a testament to how far Mark Richt has brought this program. I will remain a diehard fan regardless. Good riddance to the bandwagoners. Don’t let the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

Interesting how all of these people are now bashing the Dawgs, even with only two losses—to #1 and #4. However, they continue to act like Tech is the number one team in the country. What exactly, other than overcome VERY low expectations, have they done that is so wonderful? I know they beat an average FSU team (because of a fumble in the endzone at the end of the game), but what makes them a powerhouse and UGA a disaster? This is absurd. We have the exact same record, yet UGA has a much MUCH tougher schedule. Comparing Georgia to Tech is like comparing apples to oranges.

What part of “This is not an opinion on the timeouts” did you not understand? I remarked on posts from sportsline and espn.com chats that took place yesterday. The sportswriters brought it up yesterday, and the gator nation responded with CAPS and exclamation points. Only gators fans responded but the criticism was from all sides.

But if it will make you happy: The incident will forever be on the mind of dale. (from “dale’s way,” copyright 2008)

We can’t stand the heat. Once out of it last year played great, nothing riding on it. Might lose another game, but won’t win SEC much less a shot at National Championship with Stafford. No leader. Hate to say it but in that category Tebow is heads above him. Not so sure about this talk of being the best pro either.

Disgusting and disappointing year, so much promise.

I bleed red and black. But, I have to be realistic.
Georgia is nowhere near the #1 team we expected to see at the start of the season. Those two blowout losses exposed some severe weaknesses in coaching, defense, discipline and heart. A break or two for UK or Auburn, and we can easily let one of those get away. And, I truly believe that we will underestimate the game with Georgia Tech and it will be theirs this year. Wish I didn’t, but I do. I keep hearing that we have to settle for 10-2. Maybe next year. Keep the faith Dawgs, but 10-2 ain’t likely.

UGA doesn’t lose again. Those losses to bama and uf were flukes—-UGA just didn’t show up those games. The dawgs will blow out UK and Auburn, and beat Ga Tech by 17, followed by an easy bowl win. UGA starts out next season in the top 10 and wins the SEC. Florida’s losing a bunch of talent and UT will suck as usual.

By athensdawg

after the first couple of games, i said that the georgia team had the following problems: no pass rush, no power running game AND a freshman kicker.

all three of these issues never were resolved (the kicker problem is what it is.)and thus, we got hammered vs. the class of the SEC.

the question now is: do we finish out strong, or do we mail it in? if we finish strong, we are in great shape for next year, and should be another preseason top ten.

if we don’t…..it could get ugly quickly.

it is going to be a good test of CMR’s ability to instill some toughness into our football team. Our talent is good enough to win out, but if we don’t start fighting and scrapping for every play, we could finish 1-2. What? Yes, you heard me. Auburn wants revenge for the year we smacked them when they were #5. Tech…they need NO motivation and CPJ has been getting them ready for this game all year…the last time we faced a coach who was prepping for us all year we lost 49-10. If we quit being “pretty boys” and start smacking people around, we will be ok.

We have come a long way in the last few years. now we are just a couple of wins away from getting into the big dance. if we can just hang around, eventually, we will figure out how to get the job done. And, that day can’t come soon enough.

Someone up toward the beginning of this blog said that Paul Johnson “has yet to face an athletic D.”

Virginia Tech and Florida State would probably beg to differ.

I’ll give Tech lots of credit. Paul Johnson’s doing a hell of a job with a team that most Tech fans probably wouldn’t have predicted a winning season for. The Dawgs have had their hands full with Chan Gailey-“coached” teams the last few years, so I certainly don’t expect this year’s contest to be any easier. That being said, we damn well better win this year’s game.

I’ll tell you the problem- The ratings system of young players coming out of High School. Gathering alot of 5-star recruits and fans reading up on what the scouts say gets all the hope and hype up. Now that everything has unfolded the way it has, would you still say that Stafford is a 5-star qb, or what about Caleb king- all world by the scouts, but he can’t beat out a freshman who was not a 5 star recruit. It really depends on how well these kids can adapt to the system they go to. I’ve said all along that Georgia fans would sooner or later say that 10+ wins every year isn’t good enough and that richt would be in trouble. That time is now and I can’t wait to see it unfold. I say they lose one more and it will be to GT and the run will be over. I also say that a decline in the SEC is coming and some of the other leagues are ready to step up and be ready.

I don’t have access to the Athens arrest report, so is it safe to assume no players were arrested this week?

I wish I had SOME confidence in our dawgs, but they just CAN NOT GET OVER THE FOLLOWING: Darn penalties, Blown coverage, holding, special teams players don’t know when to take the field, and on it goes. I left out the obvious, predictable play calls and zone defense. We would have a better chance if we had brought in some retired coaches to install some new stuff. Our old stuff isn’t working.

Even during this busy transitional phase in preparation for the Oval Office, I have to check out the sports and I’d have to say that UGA will likely win out—but it won’t be easy! They’re going to have to stay the course and get their people out. Spread the word; don’t let anyone think this thing is over! “They’ll” try to get you off message and make folks believe things about you that aren’t true. But you have to stay on the course and keep the faith. Georgia hopes to win out. Well, I say hope works pretty good!

Believe me, I can smell that comin’ from a mile away.

GREETINGS FROM LEXINGTON, KY

Been on the ground about an hour or so now. I left 73 degrees and sunny blue skies and landed here in cold and rainy conditions. It’s supposed to clear out by tomorrow but it’s still going to be pretty cool for the game and very windy, like 10-20 mph. So dress warm if you’re coming to the game… .

As far as the bowls, it’s my understanding if Georgia wins and does not get selected for a BCS bowl it will end up in the Capital One Bowl. I think the Outback is eyeing South Carolina pretty hard and I’ve learned to discount the Cotton Bowl altogether where the Dogs are concerned. They’re always taking West teams.

Sautee Dawg,

The schedule did not matter. What mattered is Richt’s inability to field a disciplined team. Richt will never, ever do it because he is such a ‘nice guy’ who allows his thug players to get away with anything. Richt is not a great coach. Until UGA gets a coach like Saban, Spurrier or Meyer they will never, ever even sniff a MNC. Richt needs to get some fire under his complacent arse and start taking charge of games instead of playing down to the opponent. MARK my words….UGA will lose to GT big time!!! It will not be because of talent - UGA has plenty of that; rather, it will happen because of a lack of discipline. Just take a look at what coach Johnson has done with the GT program (and I am NOT a GT fan) in just one year. Why??? Well, the GT coach gets emotional during a game (hello!!!!!) and chews his players’ azzes out when they don’t take care of their assignments. Bobo and Martinez are as much to blame for UGA’s failure since they don’t have a clue what to do with the talent at hand. What a shame.

The Dogs will be favored in their last three and to lose any of them would be an upset. Having said that, they could have a letdown.

Probably the Outback or Capital One. The Cotton Bowl would be a nice change of pace and might draw more following. We may get bypassed by some bowls because the fan following probably won’t be good.

Talent wise, we had the potential to run the table, but that’s come nowhere near fruition. Thanks to sloppy play & lack of consistent execution & fire, the Dawgs have barely beaten teams they should have throttled & been blown away twice (they last been a total “give-away”).

That being said, I think the Dawgs have a good chance of winning out. Tech will be the biggest hurdle, and Auburn’s defense is solid. I think we’ll wax UK tomorrow. CWM needs to make better adjustments & blitz (much) more. I look for a bid to the CapOne or Outback Bowl & an 11-2 season (finish in the top 10, maybe top 5). GO DAWGS!!

ahhhhh, mr. easy remaining schedule…you need to wipe the ignorance from your chin! to say that tech hasn’t played an athletic defense all season and that the dawg defense IS athletic is lunacy! tech’s defense is one of the top defenses in the country. their offense has proven, thus far, that the ONLY team that can stop it is TECH! this offense didn’t die because it sucked; it died because ‘the pass’ became a more popular ‘option’. the sec IS impressive with all the top teams they have and the acc has failed in it’s efforts to gain respect. BUT, to suggest that va. tech, north carolina, florida state, etc doesn’t have an athletic defense is laughable! where was the ‘athletic defense’ you boast of against alabama and florida?! the dawg defense couldn’t have stopped duke in those games! with respect to a great coach, coach richt needs to get rid of martinez and come up with a game plan that won’t fold after the first REAL hit! the dawg wins aren’t any more impressive than tech’s. the dawgs are a good team, but without an offensive line they are toothless! stafford has spent the season running for his life against less ‘athletic’ defenses! it’s a testiment to his desire to win that he continues to go out there! what richt has done at georgia is as expected. as a tech fan, i knew that he would change EVERYTHING about this rivalry. what coach johnson has done at tech, in the short time that he has been here, is AMAZING! i pray that the bulldog football team gets their wisdom from the likes of you and considers tech lay down! like alabama and florida; tech will have those dawgs curled up with their tails between their legs, yelping like the puppies that they are REGARDLESS of what color jerseys they wear or where they might celebrate a score! uga has been a let down for their fans and tech has been a blessed surprise! in the end, we’ll all see how it plays out at the end of the season. thanks for reading this-you can go back to cutting my grass!

Here’e the real truth. Georgia can lose any of the games on their remaining schedule because they have been exposed as a very average team. When the Dawgs play Tech’s offense there will be real concern on the part of the defensive staff of UGA. All it takes is discipline and the Dawgs can stop the Tech offense. Sadly, discipline on and off the field is something Georgia hasn’t had in quite awhile. In fact this team could implode before this season is over. It is my understanding that Moreno and Stafford are loathed by team mates and those same team mates could care less if they leave early.

As a true Florida Fan, here are my thoughts (for anyone who cares):

1) Last year UGA beat the hell out of Gators. Long passes, hard earned running right thru’ the gut of our Offensive Line and you won BIGTIME. (Maybe the Dance did it or maybe the Offense was of high calibre. We Gators think the second one and UGA believed the Dance factor)

2) You beat Auburn bigtime UGA players were pumped up. Maybe, blackout did the trick, who knows?

3) Mark Richt managed to get passion out of the players and won big games. However, just look at games until LSU game this year..UGA really did not put any team away.

4) For Florida Game, you guys tried the same old stunt as last year. It worked. Stafford was tearing corners, however, there were no 75 yards pass or 45 yards pass. However, UGA kept doing the same and sooner or later, interceptions were gonna happen and they did.

5) I am not convinced that Moreno was not successful against us this year. We felt UGA did not “pound” and “pound” as they did last year. 65 yards is a LOT for the # of chances Moreno was given. Think about it. We barely managed to contain him.

Bottom Line - Mark Richt and his co-ordinators HAVE reached peak. This is it.

Sorry to say, yes, ‘Psychology is a big factor for your team and players against Gators” and believe me, Gators are not only pumped this year, but pumped for the next several years to dominate.

GA has to get a new coach, someone, from big 12 or very level headed like Spurrier to turn it around. Go get an alumni from UGA to coach..it is the real dedication you would get..it is the only way

Else, good luck UGA fans. Mark Richt has nothing else left to motivate (Black Out, Red Out, Dance…c’mon? Stafford and Moreno, AJ Green Massaquoa..such talented players and mediocre results?)

Peace Out and “PLEASE WIN THE REST OF GAMES SO GATORS CAN GO UP IN BCS”

Yes, Gators will beat UGA for the test five years straight for sure (Recruiting for Gators is # until 2011 class…Imagine that)

Why does UGA enjoy a 47-game lead over Tech in Baseball ?

Why in a city of 6 million does Tech have attendance of 48,000 (disguised as empty seats) while 48 miles East, does UGA have the 5th most attendance in the nation, twice Tech’s attendance ?

Is it true the Georgia Institute of Technology still does not have even a president ?

With Doraville trying to annex surrounding Chamblee to make up for the $60 million in taxes annually they bilked from GM forcing them to close the BOP plant which never did make Buicks, Oldsmobile’s, nor Pontiacs - what in the world did Doraville do with their working tank they kept parked at their station for all these years ?

Will the new Tech president, sell the land in the slums everyone is afraid to go down to to watch any sporting event, and move to Doraville itself ?

If Tech did move to Doraville or Gainesville, would the AJ-C continue to try to coddle them and still try to put down UGA

Are we playing nice in here yet Chipper Towers, or are you held to a different standard yourself ?

Terrance Moore predicted 3 losses. I think good old Terrance just might be right.

Everyone notices that all the Tech fans (both of them) are trying to make some hay about 7-2 when Tech has not played anyone ranked in the BCS Top 25, nor will they except for UGA.

Had Tech played No. 1 Bama, No. 5 Florida and No. 16 LSU, Tech would have 3 more losses right now. That’s 4-5.

Of course, Tech loses to UGA.

That’s 4-6.

Now, who is it that Tech is supposed to beat ?

Georgia should win out. Of the 3, GT would be most likley to pull off the upset. I never thought UGA was a Top-5 team, so 10-2 is not much of a shock—though Georgia’s total meltdowns vs Alabama and Florida suprised me—-I thought UGA might lose, just be in the games. 9-3 would be a disppointing season. Basically, at 10-2 Georgia beat everyone they should have and lost the 2 they could have won. If Moreno joins Stafford in returning next year, with a healthy more experience offensive line, Georgia might then be a legit Top-5 team, if penalties and turnovers are reduced and the defense steps up to the plate.

Why are you always spewing your nonsense at 3:30am???? The night shift must be tough there sport.

Why are you a pathetic loser?

Why do you sound so sore about ugas disappointing season?

When are you going to get a life?

Have you been laid off recently?

I repeat, why are you a pathetic loser?

Did you ever have a job in the first place?

Does Waffle House count as a job?

If GT beats uga, will you please kill yourself?

UGA is backed into a corner. Time to man up and come out swinging and salvage what’s left of a disappointing season. It’s not that you lost, it’s the way you lost that irks me. Stafford doesn’t take himself out the game and he’s projected higher in the draft. Stay in the game more NOSHOW! Yes I said it. Never thought I would until after the FL game. Make’s me wonder where his priorities are now! The NFL I guess. If I can see it on TV then why did CMR state that he would need to study it because he hadn’t noticed it during the games. Make you wonder about game prep doesn’t it?

Willow Martinez will sweat it out 28 points for KU this week, and CMR will say “not that bad”,(3 points win). “We can keep our job, don’t worry my dear friend”. Next year CMR will say “I am so sick in my stomach about last year” (it is Tennessee ploy remember?). WE are setting to be a second class team in a big boy leaque.

Georgia will struggle stopping Tech’s option, and Tech could control the clock to keep Stafford off the field. If the Dawgs run defense doesn’t improve after the Florida no show, Tech will win. Does Moreno quit when things get going tough? Rumor has it he does!

UGAy will be lucky to win today’s game and will take another beating from Tech. GA’s premiere Community College will never be one of the big boys in college football. It’s a second-rate academic institution with a second-rate football program.

Given the injury situation, I think the coaching staff and players will have done an admirable job if the 10-win plateau can be reached again. Pair that with a big win over an as yet to be determined piece of Big 10 cannon fodder in Orlando and nobody should be complaining about 11-2.

Some perspective, please. I don’t like some of the things we’ve seen from the defense, either, but did anybody really believe this was a national-title caliber team once Sturdivant and Owens went down for the year? Or when Washington was lost before the season began? Or when Ellerbee missed key games? That’s not an excuse - injuries are part of the game. But holding a team to pre-season expectations given the number of players who are down for the count isn’t realistic.

There’s still a lot to play for. Now, should we close the season with another loss or two, then that’s another matter. But nobody should ever be in the habit of complaining about 10-win seasons.

The last time i checked you play a sport to finish as a champion. Georgia is a huge let down year in and year out. They always have a tremendous amount of talent but choke every year. That quarterback matt stafford is terrible he is way overrated. He has a strong arm but makes stupid decisions with the football. Georgia can compete for the national championship in the next few years i think but Mark Richt needs to cut ties with some of his coaching staff like maybe wille martinez and mike bobo. Good luck next year dogs cause this season is already been a dissapointment.

Big train, it could also be sid that UGA could control the ball game, despite last week, they still have a pretty good offense in term of holding the ball and racking up yards.

I assume you are comparing Tech’s option game with Floridas offense, but I dont know if that gonna hold up.

UGA still is giving up less than 90 YPG on the ground, so its not like they all of a sudden have issues stopping the run. Actually held UF under thier average and a lot of that was long after the game was decided.

Nice that you started out with legitamate points but when you just plain make stuff up like “Moreno quits” how do you expect to be taken seriously?

If GA chokes this weekend Richt should resign immediately.

Pathetic,

Why the UGA blog? Fellow nerds want let you play on their insect blog? Tell us again who is pathetic? If you need a sense of self worth please feel free to continue blogging on UGA website. Maybe you could call up gumdrop and you kids could go to the library together. Good luck in life….nanny state will take care of you.

hey baloney….I don’t know where you get your data, but Georgia isn’t a championship team.

Better hope No-Gain Moreno doesn’t sit himself in the 1st quarter to save himself for the NFL combines

I would like first to apologize eo Atlanta Gator and all other GOOD UF fans for some of My comments after the loss last Saturday. Congratulations on Your win Guys. UGA was outplayed and outcoached in that one, plain and simple. That’s the SEC, on any given Saturday…….! I do hate to lose, and cannot be accused of being a “good loser”. Now to the subjects of the day, all the talk of firing CWM and Coach Bobo is not only premature, it is foolish. Offensive mistakes were as much responsable for the UF blowout as anything CWM did. Playing “balls to the wall” D is easy with a lead or when Your running game is working, much more difficult against an offensive machine like the Gators O when they are working with a short field time after time. Bobo made some bad calls early, but We have to remember that this is just his second year as play caller. He has to be allowed to learn from his mistakes. I would rather bring Bobo along than hire some expensive OC that may not work out. Let’s take a look at some OCs hired to revamp offensive teams, Franklin, Clawson, even Norm Chow who is certified as a Genius, how well have those teams done? I will say that We will all be suprised at how much smarter Bobo is next year with a healthy and experenced O line!

I see the little people from other teams are on here trying to antagonize the big injured Bulldog. For you serious fans, one more time I will repeat: THIS IS ANOTHER UGA FOOTBALL TEAM, NOT THE TEAM WE STARTED WITH PHYSICALLY. We have 8 starters out for the season. That makes this A new team for the year that has done great when you consider so many players have had differing assignments in blocking that changes again when the line gets a shakeup. We have every reason to be proud of our Dawgs and I can’t wait to see them vs these 10th Ave Trade School boys in a couple of weeks and with a break before to practice more TDs to put on their antennae. We should have certain big plays called “Insecticide Douches” to introduce to their new coach and welcome him to Georgia. Now you can get your runty asses off this blog.

UgaVII-Well ole boy, We know you wanted to bite anything available last week and they had to put you in your house. Too bad. Get your teeth sharpened for this game because it is going to be another barnburner no matter what the pundits say. SIC’EM!!

Where are the Tech fans (both of them) now ?

That’s what I thought.

Tech cannot even beat North Carolina.

Georgia beat Kentucky.

Is Georgia Top 10 ?

Georgia is, in every computer poll and I SPECIFICALLY RECALL Tech stating that the computer polls are correct and the human polls not.
