FIRE WILLIE MARTINEZ!!!!! The man is the worst coach in the history of organized football. 4 of the last 5 games have seen a defense full of 4 and 5 star recruits gets 35+ scored on them. There’s no excuse. Willie Martinez must be fired and its gotta happen now, let someone else get the team ready for the bowl.

This season may be the biggest let down ever. Preseason #1 - lose 3 games to Bama, Florida, & Tech, and with the coming exits of Stafford and Moreno, we’ll be looking at 2-3 years of 8-4 at best.

I wonder what crap bowl Georgia will end up at? Whatever, its sick to think about.

Either martinez must go or Mark Richt must be fired. I have always admired and respected Richt but he can’t let blind loyalty cost our program any longer. Since Van gorder left our defense has gone from one of the best in the nation to a complete joke. We are still recruiting the same top atheletes so the only variable that has changed is willy martinez. Fire this guy now and save our program from going into a downward spiral. If Richt doesn’t make some tough decisions this offseason then he will receive the same fate as Phil Fulmer. Our program will slowly decline until we are a bottom feeder in the SEC.

Chip,

This is the time for you to put all of the facts together regarding Willie Martinez and present them.

I know you’re not a “columnist” and this wouldn’t be opinion… it would be FACT!!!

Like how under Martinez, the defense has progressively given up more points per game EVERY YEAR.

Like how under Martinez, the defense is the most undisciplined in all of college football that matters in the amounts of penalties against it.

How under Martinez, our defense is not only undisciplined, but they play stupid, like the volumnous amount of PERSONAL FOUL penalties acrued this year, including SIX IN ONE GAME!!!

How under Martinez, the the little things just seem to have gone by the way side… you know, like TACKLING, and playing unselfish defense!

You say you refuse to offer an opinion on Martinez because you’re not a columnist… but how about doing your job as a JOURNALIST to investigate all of the FACTS revolving around Martinez’s horrible tenure as defensive coordinator and exposing them for Mark Richt and everyone else to see?

How about this one: under Martinez, the Dawgs have given up 30 or more points at ANY time in their history?

How about under Martinez, the Dawgs have had their most lopsided losses ever?

How about under Martinez, the Dawgs have had their most one-sided loss at home ever?

How about the other things like Martinez’s inability to make adjustments and get his players in the right positions to make plays?

How about how under Martinez, how all these blue chip 4 and 5 star recruits can’t seem to tackle, or know how to wrap-up?

See, Chip, you can expose Martinez as one of the worst defensive coordinators in the SEC and in Georgia’s history through facts, and without having to utter one single opinion.

I still can’t seem to think for the life of me why you refuse to do this!!!

Coach Richt you have done a great job here at UGA since you arrived. You have won 4 SEC East and 2 SEC titles. You had also beaten GT 7 straight times. So, even though this year have been a huge disappointment due to the high preseason expectations, you get a pass. But, for this year only. If you chose not to make changes in you coaching staff, so be it, you have had great success here and who am I or anyone else to question you. But, remember one thing, Phil Fulmer bleed Tennessee orange and won a national title and one year removed from winning the SEC east he was run out of town. So, Mark Richt, you can continue to be supportive of your defense coordinator, but after Stafford and Moreno is gone and the rest of the teams in the SEC East improve, remember this is a what have you done for me lately conference, and you will be out the door like Phil Fulmer.

Great job GT, You all have had a great season.

This has been the most undisciplined defense I have ever seen at UGA. UGA will never be elite with him at the defensive helm. And if he is not fired then I will start to put some blame on CMR, but I have not lost faith in him yet. Let it be known that Martinez needs to be gone and tell the AJC and talk radio to quit being such homers and look at the stats they do not lie.

It was the most horrible second half defensive coaching that I have ever seen. The UF game this year comes in second. I have defended CWM for two years, but I am done with him.

Martinez has got to go! I’ve stayed off the “fire Willie” bandwagon, but I’m fully on board after watching him give away another game! Sometimes he guesses right and has a good 1st half. The other team makes adjustments at half time and he doesn’t. Guess what, we get SMOKED in the 2nd half. Or he guesses wrong for the 1st half and makes the needed adjustments during the half and has a good 2nd half. That is why we get KILLED at least one half of the game. He CANNOT make “in-game” adjustments to save his life! Other teams see this and capitalize on it, while we watch yet another team show us what we already know. Martinez SUCKS! He might be CMR’s good friend, but CMR needs to look beyond that and get his a* off the staff!

Stafford overated, way overated! NO COACHING! It doesn’t matter how good the player if there is no punishment for stupid mistakes the whole team takes on that attitude. Stafford is good because of who is around him. When the pressure is on or the game is on the line he isn’t able to produce. He makes too many mistakes. Physically he is good, mentally he is subpar. Too bad, a lot of talent and no intensity, no heart, no soul. SAD.

Nothing really needs to be said…my prediction for 2008 was 9-3 and UGA again was up to the task.

Maybe someone in Athens will finally understand when I say that CMR and his staff are overrated and need to be gutted. However, I am sure UGA will be cranking out those raises for the CMR again this year so the budget is tight.

You see this is what happens when you give a coach a HUGE long-term large contact that is too costly to buyout. CMR has you snowed and the reason Bobby let him out the door.

Your program is in shambles and needs to be built from the ground up with a new coaching staff.

In ALL games lost this year, and as an objective observer of football for over 50 years, the main reason UGA did not have the season they were suppose to comes down to POOR special teams (better find someone in the offseason who can kick the ball), and the poorest demonstration of tackling in my 9 years of watching bulldog football. That last touchdown by Roddy Jones was a joke. Rashad Jones should be benched for his lack of effort on the last run that put the spike in the coffin. See ya next years dawgs.

Bobo deserves one more year, as do all the other offensive coaches…Our defense is horrible, undisciplined, a total mess…I respect coach Richt for not getting to up or down and cutting heads every other year like a lot of coaches out there, but Martinez, Fabris, and Jancek all need to be on their way out of town. Our DBs were horrible! They are coached by Martinez, so they goes to show you that he needs to go. Fabris can stay on to coach special teams, but I think we need a new voice to pair with Garner on Defensive line…Jancek you’re ok, but we need more than that.

You can’t blame Willie. Willie doesn’t tackle and he doesn’t miss assignments. This one goes on the players. NO EXCUSES, UGA got out played, out coached, and out classed. Even when UGA sniffed out the sweep to Roddy Jones, they got hit with big blocks, and tried to arm tackle. Did you see the player bounce off of Dywer on the 1st play of the 2nd half? Bottom line, UGA’s streak is over and PJ is the start of a new era. Keep your heads up UGA, there’s always next year. THWG

From the start of the season, Richt has failed to bring discipline to this team. He has praised the failure of the Defenseless Martinez and offered little direction to the offense. Richt has truly been a hands-off coach and it has cost UGA dearly. After today’s disaster, all UGA fans can expect is more non-performance by Georgia’s Coach Richt and an undisciplined SEC embarrassment.

By SickandTired, maybe you haven’t been watching UGA play all year but, they have not been tackling all year. They have been undisciplined all year. When UGA plays a team with equal talent or in this case with GT, lesser talent but better coach they get beat. People need to be fired at UGA, now its time for Damon Evans to start making his money and get the balls to light a fire under Mark Richt behind. Changes must be made or a change will be made with the head coach in the near future. This team has has been a disgrace from the Herschel Walker era teams. When the old school teams lost they went down swinging, when this team got hit in the mouth they went down and would not get back up or even try to get back up. No fight in these dogs all year. They were to busy drinking and getting DUI’s. No way can you drink like that and still keep your body in tune to play SEC caliber football. I don’t care if they are young. No way.

Richt should have been in the face of the officials on the many blown calls by the refs. Unfortunately, he does nothing as they continued the blown calls through the entire game, because the ACC refs know they can get away with it with Richt. Firing Martinez is a no brainer, but for some reason Richt defends him!

I don’t know if the UGA fans are in the mood for conciliation at the moment, but as a Tech fan and a Tech grad, I’m offering it.

First, I’ve NEVER posted on a UGA blog before. I only do so this time to say that you guys showed a lot of heart and a lot of CLASS today. It was a hard played game, but it was done well. You should be proud of the kids on that team. They played hard to the bitter end. There were times in the second half where they could have quit, but they never EVER did. They fought to the end.

Second, I’ve got to give credit to Stafford, Moreno and the rest of the UGA offense. They played like champions. They stuck in there and played with heart. If you�re offense scores 42, they have MORE than done their part. They played with guts and heart. Good job guys.

See you in Atlanta next November. I hope that it’s as good of a game, regardless of the outcome.

This game was not lost by the coaches. Our players did well in the first half. They played disciplined football. The third quarter they came out and looked like they been asleep during half time. They took bad angles on tackles. They didn’t wrap up and tried to tackle with shoulders. They over pursued on several big plays. The contrast between their quality of play in the first and second half was shocking.

Still, it seems the repeat of a theme we’ve had all year. No matter what…it seems that opponents find a way to out adjust us in game. As CMR has said though…we fans just don’t know anything about football. So I guess out scheming and out adjusting is just something us rubes can’t possibly recognize. The players are just that bad. But guess what…the coaches recruited them!

GT was by far the better team on the field today. GT certainly put on a clinic rushing and made UGA really look bad. I guess SEC East was pretty weak after all this year, except for the Gators. UGA was certainly way overrated and the team must have bought into the hype. When your Offense scores 42 in regulation you should win. Defense has been soft all season so this was certainly not a huge suprise, except for the whooping administered in the second half. Congratulations to GT for a great year. UGA has problems and will probably be an also ran next year. Will not win unless defense improves dramatically. GT will be a recruiting problem in the state for UGA. Off to a lesser bowl and hope that the opponent can’t run…or throw, then we have a shot. Stafford and Moreno will be gone so next year will be rebuilding year.

The numbers do not lie. If my math is correct, we’ve given up an avg of 32 points a game over the past 8 games - over 37 points a game over the last 5. I realize some of this can be placed on the offense and special teams (for example, Stafford’s interception for a GT TD), but that doesn’t excuse this awful play. The shoulder “tackles” by Ellerbe and Reshad Jones that helped spring two long Tech TD runs are symbolic of the undisciplined play of this defense. We are wasting top talent on our offense with a defense that cannot be counted on to hold an opponent under 30 points. If Martinez can�t motivate and coach the D to better results, then Richt will be doing a disservice to our program by not addressing the issue. I am a loyal supporter of Richt, and I hope he is our coach for many years to come, but he simply can�t ignore the play on the defensive side of the ball. And why can’t we ever have good kickoff coverage? Giving the opponent starting field position at the 35 and 40 is a recipe for disaster with this defense. On a positive note, I want to give a big shout-out to MoMass. He played a great game, and I’m proud that a class act like him had such a great last game in Athens.

By bobthefirechief

Although it’s obvious martinez must go, that we can’t kick a ball in bounds much less deep, and the fact that richt will NEVER take the dawgs any higher than they have already been under his leadership ( occasional sec championship game) , and that there is no discipline whatsoever on this team or accountability one things for sure though. I bet no other team in the SEC can go to the indoor pool like we can, or go bowling like we do, or, or can fill out a police arrest blotter like we do.

Two weeks to prepare and we still can’t stop them and this is after knowing what they are going to do 9 out of 10 times. Thanks Richt, you useless excuse for a head coach. He11 even Tubberville had the gonads to fire franklin 3 games into the season because he couldn’t coach.

That being said, our secondary got lit up by a pretty damn good QB and as much as ugag fans want to blame it on the coaches, their players got beat on the field. The coaches didn’t make bad plays, the players did.

UGAG HAD TWO WEEKS TO PREPARE AND WERE PLAYING AT HOME.. how much MORE advantage do you want?

There are no excuses. Tech is the better football team for now. Let’s not go crazy and think we’re never going to lose again because that is just stupid. It’s a great win, though, and we should be proud.

Well what a crock. The Dawgs played well in the first half and then didn’t show up for the second half. I blame that on them and the coaches. CMR reminds me of Jimmy Carter…..they both were good men and had good hearts and good intentions but neither have the baIIs that it takes to achieve great successes. It still bothers me to think what our record would be in any “normal” year. Most years Auburn, Tennessee, LSU have competitive teams and can play with anyone. If they have their normal decent teams this year they all would have beat us easily and our record would be 6-6 which includes victories over some small patsy teams. And we only beat SC by a touchdown and only beat Kentucky by a field goal so we could also be 4-8. And if Stafford, Moreno, and Massaquoi leave this year we’re really going to be hurting next year. And personally, Caleb King and Samuel haven’t shown me anything this year that makes me think we can expect great things from them next year.

On one of the earlier blogs this morning some folks were saying that the rumor is that CMR is leaving. I don’t think it’s true, but if it is, maybe it’s for the best except who else is out there and available right now??? Fulmer is out, Croom is out, and Tuberville may be forced out. Maybe there are some coaches on the Georgia staff that ought to take the hint. I don’t even care about watching whatever bowl we end up in this year. And I don’t want to end up 4-8 next year.

What a great game for both sides. The GT fans should show more class on your blog however, the abuse we take from the UGA fans on our blog is insane.

The ACC showed up again today and the SEC came down to earth wher it has actually been all year long.

The UGA offense is very good and the defense is very bad as advertised. The UGA fan base has been in the dark all year if they think anything else to be true.

I do know the CPJ with a full set of scholarships and his own recruits will make GT very good for a long time. I also believe that the two schools will have something to hate each other for a long time also.

Congrats! to the Jackets for not laying down in the second half and putting the fun back into the last week of Nov. Now if we could keep the blogs civil and idiots that never attended any college off of both of our blogs we could return to the great old days of GA/GT!

Life is better because I hate the Dogs! However, I do not hate the actual grads of the school just their Wallmart fans!

Not only does CWM not have a clue, he doesn’t know how to make his position coaches teach basic tackling and coverage, and we had 2 weeks to prepare. For all you Willie Martinez apologists, just look at the scores from Central Michigan and the teams they played…not exactly SEC minimum requirements. Memo to CMR: To whom much is given, much is expected. For the $2.9M we’re paying you, we expect more than what you’re giving…9-3 is the equivalent of 6-4 in the 10 game seasons. We’re all tired of your candy as$ chicken sh#* YMCA attitude, especially when we continue to get shafted by the inept SEC officials and sub par coaching. Grow some chones!!!

Saban-ALA, Meyer-FLA, Johnson-GT…once again, a better coachced, better disciplined team beat and over-rated, over-hyped, bunch of un-coached, un-disciplined thugs. This is how it is, mutt fans. Not the color of jersey you wear, not “everybody run in the end zone when we score”. You win with better coaching and discipline. Chew on that for a while….Pre-season #1? My A**!!

How does it feel, georgie?

You’ve been bragging about winning a national championship all year, yet you aren’t even the best team in your own state.

Paul Johnson just thoroughly outcoached your staff and whipped you with players that weren’t nearly as highly rated as yours.

As Bear Bryant once said about Bobby Dodd, it applies to Paul Johnson now ‘He can take his’n and beat your’n, or he can take your’n and beat his’n.”

Richt might look at that Miami job now, since he will be clearly outclassed on game day adjustments by the NEW sheriff in town, Coach Paul Johnson.

CMR wake up, fabris & slick willie must go or if your not willing maybe you should pack too. Our defense is a joke and I cringe whenever we go to special teams. Another arrest this week. May I suggest practice tommorow morn. @ 0500 with breaks for lunch and church and then finish around 1900. That way no one has the strength to get f*#ked up.

Georgia really doesn’t have exceptional athlets or the Georgia coaching staff apparently can not coach exceptional athletes. I believe it is both. I’m a Gator fan, but, Richt seems to be content in losing. Kinda bad to only be known for the dance in the endzone in 2007.

This is the worst defense I had ever seen at Georgia. With all the top 10 recruiting classes that UGA has gotten in the last several years, there is absolutely no excuse for such a poor defense. I don’t know that exact numbers, but the dawgs have given up 40+ on defense a ridiculous amount of times for a team consistently ranked in the top 25/Top 10. Absolutely pathetic. Willie has got to go or it will spell the end of the Richt era!!! If Richt won’t do it, then I hope Evans steps in and makes the decision for him.

You dawg fans just amaze me! Stafford is a great QB and Richt is a great coach and you still want to burn these 2 as if they cost you the world. Just face it that Tech played better than you did today and that Tech has a really good team this year.

Yes UGA had an unbelievably good team this year. They also played in a really good conference and underestimated a very underrated GTech team. Hell, if anything Tech was due. Maybe 7 years of winning and a few years of finishing in the top 10 can make you a little conceded as a fan? Sometimes those expectations can bite you in the a* like today.

UGA chose not to respect Tech and their so called “high school” offense and look what happened. Tech showed up to play and they proved they belong with the big boys.

As a die hard Tech fan this win is just awesome. Thank you Paul Johnson and Tech players for giving me an early Christmas present.

If someone had come to me at the beginning of the year and said as a GT fan you can have 2 options.

1st Option: Go 8-4, lose to UGA and go to the ACC title and win the Orange Bowl.

2nd Option: Go 9-3, beat UGA, not go to the ACC title game or BCS bowl, but finish ranked higher than UGA and be a shoe in for the Peach bowl.

I would take the 2nd option every time.

Our loyal to a fault coach makes $2.9M a year from UGA sources, but look at all the other income he seeks and derives from other sources. Carpets of Dalton, Automobiles, Real Estate, etc. And, look at the 11 suspensions we have every year with his 4 and 5 star recruits. Call me me crazy but I think he’s all about the money rather than winning a National Championship. Going 9 and 3 is like 6 and 4 witha 10 game season. And, look at all the losers he has on his payroll. Don’t you think UGA can do better with the resources at our disposal? What is the definition of a hypocrite?

I’ve been a UGA fan for 25 years - if I live another 25 years I’ll be a UGA fan for 50 years.

Hats off to Tech, really a team effort. I was especially impressived with Nesbitt - he played through pain, you could see it on the TV, and motivated his team.

This has been an off year. That happens. We’ll be back. I think - over the course of time - UGA will beat Tech much more often than lose to them. This year Tech won. Good job Tech, we’ll be back.

I do think that there must be some real problems with our defense - I’m not expert enough to know if it’s coaching, playing or motivation. I think the offense - even after the game - was pretty good. I’m - unlike many, no sarcasm intended by the way - not any kind of expert, didn’t play college football and have just been a lifelong observer. But I do think that there have been some real problems at UGA that lead to all this - it disturbed me to see so many of the players arrested and in trouble, it bothered me to see the lack of teamwork. I think all that can be corrected and - if it’s obvious to me, an outsider with no real skill at this - I’m such Mark Richt will have it fixed shortly.

Credit has to go to Paul Johnson and a great game by the Jackets!

This game came down to 4 plays-

Stafford’s pick returned for 6 in the 1st half.
Samuel’s fumble of a return setting up the Jackets TD and huge momentum.
Poor tackle on the 1st play of the 2nd half by #33 or 35?
Poor tackle on GT last TD by #9 Jones.

A lot does rest on Martinez because this defense has no discipline and lacks fundamentals.

The Dawgs will be back- Go Dawgs!

One defensive coordinator decides to take away the opponents’ running game and his defense gives up 400 yards passing. He repeatedly calls blitzes that are picked up, leaving his team vulnerable to a succession of screen passes, and placing his overmatched CBs 1-on-1 against the 2 best WRs they’ve faced this season. He’s a winner.

The other defensive coordinator has his players in position to make plays, but they either can’t remember their assignments, especially a few of the DBs, and do a truly lousy job of tackling. How exactly is it his fault if a DB who is repeatedly instructed not to let the pitch man get to the corner, allows that to happen ‘cause he wants to tackle the QB who has the football.

If Georgia is going to keep recruiting players who are great athletes but possess limited intelligence and can’t follow instructions, it doesn’t much matter how good the coaches are. You can blame the coaches all you want, but they didn’t blow defensive assignments & miss tackles, fumble kickoffs, hold on pass plays or make 1 really bad throw right to a Tech DB, who did nothing other than catch a ball that appeared to be intended for him.

There wasn’t much question which was the more talented team on the field, but talent alone is not enough to win games. Maybe Georgia coaches will consider that while out on the recruiting trail.

As a Georgia grad, some of the rampant stupidity on this blog is embarrassing. I hope it comes from wannabe ‘Dogs, but who knows. All the morons ripping Richt, Bobo, Stafford (and most going after Martinez), deserve a team that’s as dumb as they are, and today, you guys got just what you deserved.

The reality is that the Georgia football program has no diversity. Can you imagine if there were no african ammericans playing on defense? I do not recall one white kid playing on the defense all year? There are some great caucasian recruits that Georgia could sign? If you look at the top teams in college football you will see much more diversity. I think Rodney Gardner,Damon Evans and CMR need to be very careful. If there were more diversity you may have less supensions and disciplinary problems? I agree that Willie Martinez should be replaced. I am sure I will be criticized for these comments but I do feel UGA has to achieve more diversity on the team.

Well after winning seven straight the rivalry is back! You have to give it to PJohnson. He and is squad can flat out coach.Tech out played Dawgs in the second half. They made the adjustment. Called wanting it a hell of alot more than UGA.

Now it is time to make some changes on that defensive coaching staff. 41 to Alabama,49 to fla, 30 something to LSU,,,and now 45 to Tech.Did I miss anyone?

Defense is a bend and break defense. First time UGA has been in that formation is this year. And they have been in it all year long.We lead the nation in the bend and break defensive formation.Some teams play the bend and dont break. UGA has decided to become the coaching experts in bend and break. Players out of position. Arm tackling, shoulder tackling…how about no tackling. How about no player within 10 yards of the running back as he goes round the end. Defensive players and coaches from way back are rolling in their graves. This has to be one of the poor defensive performances ever in the history of Georgia football. And the year of the poor defense as well.

When we are not in the bend and break defensive formation, we are in the personal foul defensive formation. We are the experts in that formation as well.

And turnovers….and those damn penalties all year long.

WOW I never in my life thought a Georgia defense could be so pathetic. 42 points should be enough to beat anyone.Bobo…awesome game calling.

CMR….you need to reevaluate EVERY coach and player on your staff. and get rid of Martinez. His defense has gotten worse every year.

My two year old was crying it got so bad. I joined him at the end of the game. What a wasted saturday watching this kind of crap. I don’t mind losing, but this way a joke way to do it.

That is why the conference is down this year, all the teams are young.

Whether it is tackling or coaching, it still comes back to Willie Martinez. The defensive line is makeshift but played great today. The linebackers are good and showed it today. The DB’s have been awful all year. If I see Rashad Jones try to shoulder another player instead of wrapping up, I will scream. Who is the DB coach? Willie Martinez. Not only is he putting out a bad scheme, he is responsible for most of the shortcomings through his direct coaching responsibilities. I would give anything to have an aggressive DC again. The best teams in the country have the calm head coach to keep players in line and the firey DC to play an aggressive D. Look at Texas. Why could we never get Muschamp?

I’ve been around a lot of years (UGA-AL in ‘65 was my first game)and have heard fans rant and rave over the years about this and that…even wanted to fire Dooley a couple of times for his conservative offense.

Most all of that criticism was emotional, short term and not really backed up by a fair assessment of the facts. And, I dismissed the demands for coach firings for what they were.

However, this current situation is dramatically different. The earlier comments regarding the stats clearly indicate a steady and dramatic deterioration of the defense. Those are the facts and are indisputable.

Today’s college footbal isn’t like it was 40 years ago…much more talent, speed and passing. You can’t expect a defense to allow only 10-12 pts per gane…but you can expect players in the right place and have given good assignments. For the most part, Dawgs had that in the first half (and that hasn’t been the norm throughout the Matinez years).

But then..the second half. They came out demotivated, reckless, tackled poorly and were out of position. One can argue that the coaches don’t play and, ultimately, it’s the players responsibility. I disagree! As a manager, if the coach fails to motivate and inspire the performance of the players, it’s his responsibility.

Today, Martinez generally had the schemes to win, but he, again, demonstrated that he cannot ‘manage’ his players. He must be replaced by someone who can.

Lastly, the special teams. especially the kickoff teams, are almost as dismal. My observation is that their problem is more technique and scheme rather than motivation. Has anyone ever seen a kick returner who customarily takes a step backwards before be starts running? And, I don’t recall Tech having a kickoff return threat. Why in the world were we pooching and kicking to the corner (2 went out of bounds)???

45 points to a team that cannot pass is beyond unbelieveable.

ACC smacked the SEC East today with GT and Clemson winning. UGA a mid level team right now. Congrats to GT for playing 60 minutes and believing they would win. Dawgs just do not play with true emotion anymore. D used to be our pride, but no longer. Everyone know they can score against us. We got real lucky with KY and Auburn. Next year looks bleak!

AZDawg; are you serious about the SEC teams getting better? You have two legitimate VERY good teams in SEC this year; FL and AL. The numbers don’t lie on the rest, and I’ve quantified them ALL from the SEC schedules; Home/Away: 48 non conference games with 36 at HOME, 12 AWAY. Of the 12 away games, 3 wins (Miami OH, Louisville and AZ State). Nine losses away to La Tech, UCLA, Wake Forest, GA Tech (twice), Texas, Clemson, West Virginia and Wake again.

ACC vs. SEC: SEC 3 wins…ACC 6 wins. Mighty SEC.

Non-Conference Wins: W. Ill and LA Monroe (both BARELY), LA Monroe again and S. Miss, Clemson, Tulane and W. Kentucky, Appalachian State and N. Texas, S. Louisiana, Memphis, Samford, Hawaii, Miami, GA Southern and Central MI, Louisville, Norfolk State, Middle TN State, Western Kentucky, North Carolina State, Wofford, UAB, UAB again, N. Illinois, Miami OH and Rice. Most of your non-conference games are against teams that have a direction (N, S, E, W) in front of the school name or non-competitive opposition.

Losses: Texas, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Louisiana Tech, Georgia Tech twice, Clemson, UCLA and Duke and Wake Forest again.

Wins (against other BCS or ‘significant’ programs…and some of them are not real significant): NC State, Memphis, Louisville and Arizona State (all teams with 6 losses), Clemson, Miami and Hawaii (all teams with 5 losses) and Florida State (assuming Florida will beat them, because Florida is GOOD). So your record against other ‘significant’ programs is 8-10…with seven wins coming against teams with about a 55% win percentage for the year. At least you had a winning record against the Big East!

What the facts say here is that of all of your non-conference games, you play mostly tier two programs…and 80% of your non-conference games are at home. Afraid to travel? Based on your away record…I can see why! Of the non conference games, you went to the midwest once (Miami OH…way to go out on a limb), West twice (AZ State and UCLA), and to SW once (Texas). SEC likes to play at HOME or not travel very far. And for the non-conference games, most of these games happened early in the year, so the age old SEC argument that I read AGAIN in the paper the other day that “the SEC teams beat each other up until they have no players left” doesn’t really ring true. So now…tell me again. How is it that the SEC is so dominant that, as I hear MANY people in the SEC say…”Put a lower level SEC team in another conference and they will go undefeated; put a Big 10 or ACC team in the SEC, they will be lucky to win 2 conference games per year”? I think your league is typically the best…but not this year. But then you people make all of these crazy assertions that just don’t stand up to the BS test. But you probably CAN beat Michigan this year…I’ll give you that…although FL couldn’t last year. But hey…keep hanging on to the fact that Ohio State has never beaten an SEC team. You’ve got that!

And then…bowl season…where most of the games are typically played in the southeast. Wonder how you would fare if you had to play a bowl game in the NE or MW now and again?

I think that Sly Croom was a defensive coordinator before he became a head coach. Assuming I am correct, if I were Coach Cool (and we all know who that is), I would fire Martinez and hire Sly immediately for the following reasons: 1) Coach Croom would be able to instill discipline in the defense 2) He has the right character 3) He can recrute well and can mentor young Black athletes as only an African-American man of his stature can. So far as the Mississippi State situation goes, MS. State is a coach-killer and no one will win at that program. I lived in Mississippi and know what I am talking about.

So, if Richt gives a damn about UGA or its fans, it might not be a bad idea to take my advice.

I’m a 35 year Tech, I’m just thrilled to get the W today. Long time. But Stafford and the UGA offense took us apart for most of the game. Our D did step up at key times, and that’s why we won. I don’t think either defense could be thrilled with their performance today.

First, I am not here to disrespect. I thought today’s game was definitely one for the ages. A game that players from both schools will remember their entire life. I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M SAYING THIS…BUT I ACTUALLY HOPE MORENO AND STAFFORD RETURN NEXT SEASON. I have a part of me that believes they will because they don’t want their career end like this. Their offense is one of the best I’ve seen all year…easily top 5. I have no idea what is up with that defense. But GT is going to be even better next year (this team is mostly freshmen and sophomores). I would like to see UGA return their star players (of course no.1 will be gone Thank Heavens)…but I’d like to see the rest return. I’ll be at the game with my GT gear on while my girlfriend is wearing her UGA gear. Come hang out with us for the tailgate. And also, whoever UGA gets in their bowl game, I hope they destroy them. Yeah, I’m a GT guy…but when they don’t play each other, I do like to see UGA do well. It’s still my home STATE!!!

(BTW - Alabama/Florida own 3 of those 4 wins) 4 - The last place ACC team beat an SEC bowl team. 5 - UGA will beat 3 bowl teams this season - ALL of them will be 7-5.

Willie Martinez is a complete joke. I’ve said all year that we have one really good player on our Defense- Rennie Curran. Ellerbee, Atkins and Allen have played horrible this year. Why do we consistently play underperformers who apparently don’t care. CMR has lost control of this team. Look at all the problems our players get into off the field. There is no fire under anyone’s a@# players and coaches combined. Damon Evans needs to have a one on one conversation with CMR and let him know that excuses aren’t good enough anymore. I agree with the others that we will not win another SEC championship with the current coaching staff-and a Nat’l championship will not happen under CMR! If CMR continues to avoid the issue of firing Martinez, it might be a good time to start a complete rebuilding process including Mr EXCUSE HIMSELF. With Staff and Moreno leaving early, we will be rebuilding the next few years anyway. I can already hear those excuses coming from CMR of why we are average at best the next few years.

Hopefully the Dawgs will HUNKER DOWN, win their meaningless bowl game, and finish the season with 10 wins. That could give them some momentum for next year. Maybe MS, KM, both return. A healthy UGA squad could make some serious noise in 09.

Coach Richt has been exposed for the poser that he and his team has been all year.

I said in the pre-season that that CMR was rueing the day that Coach Paul Johnson was hired.

He knew then that the UGA-Tech game would be competitive.

Only Gailey has perpetuated the farce that Richt was competent at his craft.

Saban, Meyer and Johnson has showcased Richt as a pseudo-coach, that snows the media better than the competition�.

UGA needs to not only sacrifice Martinez, but might be better served to jettison all of them for some bona fide results.

On second thought, please keep Richt.

He is so easy to figure out and Tech will enjoy whpping his A� until Athens tires of him and finally relieves him of his duties.

The sad fact is that 50% of all UGA fans are not graduates of the University.

This is obviously because they cannot relate to the intellect that is GA Tech.

Is it any wonder that three Astronauts are Tech Grads?

First of all I’m a UGA fan. No I wasn’t surprised.

To everyone calling Willie Martinez the worst coach ever who should be canned. You’re fools and that’s why most of you contribute very little to American society.

Just last year Martinez had the UGA defense ranked near the top of the list nationally. I think the issue is that you all drank the kool aid in August and believed that UGA would contend for a national title. I think all along we were a 2-3 loss team. We were last year and have been for some time. 9-3 ain’t bad. Prior to Richt we were a 7-5 kind of team, now we are 9-3.

To rain on your parade of past glory days - even the “most glorious” senior year of Greene and Pollack were managed the Outback Bowl. I think time has jaded some of ya’lls thinking.

Richt and his staff are outstanding. Paul Johnson and his staff are outstanding. Good game today - both offensives looked fantastic and UGA came up short. We’ll try again next year even if an 18 year old is quarterbacking.

Willie must have thought if he had four down lineman and three linebackers in the same formation the entire game, it would confuse Tech. No stunting or fake of a lineback into a opening. The Tech qb saw the same box formation every play, the entire game. Attack versus reaction, at least some of the time, may cause some confusion on the offensive side. Not with Willie, four down lineman, three linebackers behind them the entire game. The Tech qb must have been in heaven, never having to concern himself that the Dogs would try some thing different. And to be real, the No. 1 at the start of the year was a courteous vote. NO No. 1 team drops from that position after winning their first game. The Dog did and the circus (defense) had arrived in town.

I understand why many dawg fans want Coach Martinez fired. As a long time Dawg, I’ve seen some amazing things over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen 201 yards rushing in one quarter by a Georgia opponent. Of course, I also understand that Tech has a great rushing game - but 201 yards in one quarter?

Now - my main point: If Coach Martinez is truly a friend of Coach Richt, won’t he resign and make it unnecessary for his friend to fire him? If I was as poor at my job as Coach Martinez is at his, I would resign. The only remaining question is: Is Coach Martinez man enough to do the tight thing? I certainly hope so.

Why is this surprising to so many of U?? Hell, Kentucky scored almost as many points on us as GT.. After the Fla game this season was over as far as I’m concerned… I did watch today expecting GT to do pretty well with their triple option but never did I expect them to run it down our throats with the same play over and over and we never adjusted at all.. I’m looking forward now to watching Stafford and Moreno in the NFL and expect them to do well

TECH FINALLY WON. JUST THINK TECH WILL STILL BE GOING TO A BOWL GAME THAT PAYS LESS MONEY THEN THE BOWL GAME GEORGIA GOES TO. I FORGOT HOW BAD IT HURTS TO GET BEAT BY THOSE NERDS. I’AM SURE TAMPA IS GLAD VT IS PLAYING IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP, ATLANTA IS 5 HOURS FROM JACKSONVILLE AND TECH FANS DID NOT SHOW UP TO WATCH THE TEAM PLAY WAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. REMEMBER GEORGIA STILL HAS A BETER RECORD. MR.EVANS PLEASE FIRE WILLIE.

Everybody wants to fire Martinez over one bad seson… People seem to forget we finished #2 in the country last year. I will tell you who does need to go, and that is Coach John Fabris(Special Teams). I have seen our Special Teams play conistently erode over the past 3 seasons. Why don’t we never kick it through the end zone??? Why do we consistently give up huge yardage on punts and Kick returns??? Why do we never go for the punt block???

First: congrats to GT on a great win. And, great post by gtne80. You people that want to fire CMR; stomp on your “G” tags; pull your support; etc etc, please go ahead and do that. You are fair-weather fans; not true Bulldog fans. Half of you saying those things thought CMR could do no wrong a few weeks ago. True fans support the team no matter what. We had a couple holding penalties at very inopportune times. Matthew threw an INT.
We had a couple bad calls go against us (intentional grounding; Tech not called for holding). We became too predictable on offense by the 4th qtr. Special teams gave GT good field position way too often. Bobo and the offense put up 42 points - not bad. But, the coaches did blow it with 5+ mins on a stupid substitution penalty. There were a few instances of ‘not wrapping up’; but most of the big plays came against us when we didn’t play position/discipline D. I’ve tried to back coach Martinez all year. But it’s now becoming apparent he might be the problem. I won’t go into all the deficiencies on D; but we’ve generally just given up too many points. So, I agree he probably needs to go. But to rant against Coach Richt like some of you have is unfathomable. Hopefully we still get in the Outback; and win that game. Remember, we still might be going to a Jan 1st bowl and still have another game; unlike most football teams in the country. I’m sad about the Tech game too. But the Dawgs played hard for 60 mins and showed a lot of heart. Goooo Dawgs… win the next game!

Mark Richt has never fired a coach since he has been at Georgia, and probably never will. He isn’t that type of man. He is more concerned about his family, his faith, and his friends. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, but that is the truth. While Richt is overseas doing missionary work in the summer, Paul Johnson, Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban are evaluating recruits, studying film, and preparing their team and coaches for the up coming season. If Georgia is fortunate enough to have a decent size lead on another team, Coach Richt runs the ball and kills the clock to show good sportsmanship. Coach Meyer, Saban, and Johnson try to see how many points they can score and see how bad they can beat you. Coach Richt lacks that killer instinct. I never thought I would say this, but I don’t think Mark Richt will ever lead Georgia to a national title. There is no doubt he is a great man, but his ability to lead a football team to a national title is in serious question.

It is more important for Mark Richt that his friend, Willie Martinez, is the DC than it is for the Dawgs to win.

And that’s fine. But he has no business ever telling another player to make sacrifices for the betterment of the team.

Mark Richt’s protection of Willie Martinez is the height of selfishness.

Thanks for modeling the character building, coach.

Georgia’s offense was unbelievably good…turnovers were the difference…Tech had only 1, and it was at the end of the first half and did no damage…Georgia had 2 and they both turned into Tech TD’s…if Georgia had gotten the ball back with any time at all remaining, UGA would have won by 4, because Tech absoultely could not stop Stafford and those WR’s.

Also, you fellows always tout that you get the best players from the state of Georgia. Why is it your “Georgia born all star recruits” seem to not get the same press as your fellows from Texas, NJ, and Fla.

I think either you are too full of yourselves or you coach down the players you get from the state of Georgia. So with that, all you Georgia recruits that want to be part of a real Champion, come on over to BAMA and be part of a real team!!

I’m glad for Tech, but if we had money, PJ would’ve taken us to IA and it would still be the Eagle’s offense. Oh Well, just a few weeks and the Dawg faithful will have forgotten how mediocre they always are and we’ll start hearing how they’ll win it all next year for the 117th incorrect time.

Give credit where it is due. We saw this coming with the inconsistant play this year on defense. As I said in earlier comments the secondary was overrated this year. Today the long runs were a lot due to poor tackling by DB’s. Instead they tried to bump them out of bounds on 3-4 occasions and the tech backs kept going. We need some guys back there like Thomas Davis a few years ago. Moreno and Stafford are gone because they will never be higher rated by the NFL than they are now. Offensively we will be strong next year even if we lose our two studs. Need some cover backs recruited who are not afraid to play tight coverage and hit!!!! Continue to recruit speeeeed!!!!!!

Remember all those stupid calls? He continues to make knucklehead calls. Doesn’t know how to teach discipline necessary to win consistently, to finish the drill. Calls himself a “CEO” but surounds himself with incompetents. Can’t motivate. Get your head out of your butt, moron.

Division 1 football player here…a little perspective…if Paul Johnson was on the Georgia side line coaching and had the backs Georgia had…UGA would be playing for a national title..Paul knows it. In a few years Paul will have that talent, I played against him 4 years in college. His triple stretch option is designed to make defenses play man on man in the running and passing game. What happens over time though, teams and conferences catch-up to the scheme. He should do well in the first 2 to 3 years. After that teams with great athletes and coaches will evolve and slow down the system. Just look at statistics in conferences where Paul Johnson coached, over time he losses and his offense is slowed down. Parity of football.

I guess you bulldog fans should be happy though, I was reading that Alabama, Florida and GT have signs on their walls about beating Georgia. I guess they define how good they are by beating a team that will make or break their season. Like my hookies that means you must be a good team.

It�s funny to watch people screaming for Richt�s firing and portraying his missionary work, faith and character as negatives. Last year, everyone was screaming about what a great coach we have, both on and off the field. It just goes to show you what kind of fickle world we live in now. Today, we unveiled a statue to Dooley, yet without the greatest running back in college football history (imho), VD averaged about 7 and a half wins a year. Very respectable, but the stuff of legend? How would he have fared in today�s world (and on this blog)? I see Richt�s character as a positive. However, I do think we lack a kick-butt coach who would tear into Jones and Ellerbe for allowing long TD runs because they didn�t wrap their arms around the runner. BVG seemed to fit this bill for Richt. Erk was definitely this type of coach for VD. Erk could get more out of a player than any other coach I�ve seen. We have had 4 and 5 star recruits all over the field, yet the defense under Martinez is frequently lost on the field. As I�ve said, I support Coach Richt. But he has to address the issue on defense. We simply have to have a coach that can get more out of our defensive players than we�re seeing now.

I wasn;t going to post but after reading all your posts about your defensive coach and defense - I felt I had to. They aren’t that bad. GT is either 3rd or 4th in the country in rushing. It is expected to get 300-400 yards rushing. Your team was no different than any others who come up against us and give up yeards. We had 472 yards rushing in our last game against Miami. And, your coach Richt is actually likable - I hate to say it. I loathed Vince Dooley but I don’t loathe Richt at all. Was happy that we won though on the day Dooley was honored. That was like icing on the cake. Will be interesting if you guys play Ohio State in a bowl. I know you are all OSU haters.

my fellow dawg fans are not going to like what i’m going to say here but here is the honest to god fact’s. coach johnson beat us with out even one of his own recruits, got a real bad feeling about the future with him at tech, i forsee a lot of losses to tech. just look at the last two games he played almost 1000 yards rushing i know one was aganst miami, but he ran alomost 400 yards aganst us to day why the hell would he want to pass the frigging ball. as for the dawgs i really belive its time for the A.D. and PRESIDENT to take a real good hard look at the whole coaching staff including the head coach. we need to hire a defeneave coach that knows what the hell he is doing, and will let the players be physcial. look all the way back to the loss to arburn.the loss to w. virigna, all the loss’es to florida, alabama, l.s.u. georgia cannot get into a hard knocking bloody nose game with willie martinez leading the defence, he is a big sissy.on the offencive side bobo do’es o.k.but with richt having to approve all of his calls and i still belive richt still call’s most of the plays and he do’es not have the gut’s to blow out any team and give the young guy’s a chance to play, hell even the yankee at florida figured out the only way to get into the b.c.s. championship game from the s.e.c. is to blow out the week team’s. i just hope that when he take’s his sorry a@@ back to florida, he do’es not leave te cubbard bare on us.he had a world of talent left over from donnan. will not win a championship with this current coaching staff. ga. hired a head coach not an off. co.

Our strength and conditioning at UGA also needs reevaluating because every team has manhandled the dawgs. It’s apparent that CMR has lost control of this team. These thug players on defense needs to cut the dredlocks and become real young men and play hard nosed football. I guess they had their minds on midnight bowling or a midnight swim at the Ramsey Center or smoking weed instead of football today. What a lousy way to honor Dooley and Munson, with the performance and product that was displayed today on the football field.

I don’t care who is the DC. Our talent is down on defense. Very average DE’s. Put absolutely no pressure on anyone. Everyone is always 3rd and long against FLA. because they get sacks. Everyone is 3rd and 2 against UGA. Ellerbe is more style than substance. I like Rennie, but he is awfully small for LB. Our Saftey’s can’t stop the run. Reshard Jones is definitely overrated. I don’t see it being a lot better next year. Who is going to pressure the QB?

Tech played like they wanted to win. We blame everything on the defense, whicj is horrible; however, the offense is not that good. Stafford makes too many mental errors. Without the interception today the Dawgs win. This team lacks soul, that comes from believing you can beat anybody. This team lacks discipline, that comes from lack of coaching. Great talent, poor, poor coaching.

Hey Axeman, better watch your mouth about that “1 in 8” because the fun is just beginning. You jokes lose Moreno, Stafford, and others. Tech brings everybody back, and will run that offense twice as effectively next year. In fact, the Jackets redshirted a transfer whose name you will learn - Anthony Allen - who is Dwyer’s clone. Just a little something for you rednecks to look forward to.

The series has turned - and by the way, for the record - Georgia Tech STILL owns the longest streak, EIGHT straight, mutts!

Alas, I find myself once again dejected and disappointed in a team that had such high hopes. Accolades and congratulations to those who follow and support the Yellow Jackets, who come Monday morning, will be ranked higher than the preseason #1 ranked Bullpups. Please stop and think about that if you can. Both teams are 9-3, but Tech should be going to a better bowl.

Tech 1st year coach Paul Johnson - presumably the ACC coach of the year - rakes up 409 yards of offense against a Bulldog team that had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. At the begining of the season the Dawgs seemed invincible and the Jackets were predicted to finish below .500 with this old Navy coach’s outdated ‘triple option’ offense. Georgia, with Stafford and Heisman hopeful Moreno, was a sure lock on a BCS bowl and possibly a shot at the national championship. Yes, injuries plagued those Dawgs, but in my opinion there were other things that simply cannot be overlooked when anayzing the entire season. Georgia still had the playmakers despite multiple injuries, but what they didn’t have was focus, determination, and discipline. We are one of the most penalized team in the country, and we made way too many mistakes - both in execution and coaching - to get any better than where we are now. I did not see Georgia play a complete 4 quarter game all season. Not once. We certainly weren’t ‘on the field’ or in the game when Tech made their adjustments at the half and scored 26 unanswered points in the 3rd quarter (and over 200 yards of offense). Tech did what they needed to do to win. Hats off to the Jackets.

I have also determined that the SEC isn’t that great this year as compared to previous years which makes Georgia’s mediocre season all the more painful. LSU turned out of be very average (like us) and other than Florida and Alabama there were no big hitters. The ACC looked better and more competitive than people initially thought. So other than beating an average LSU team, Georgia didn’t beat anyone who is still in the Top 25. Do you realize that one? LSU isn’t even in the Top 25 now. Georgia got outscored by Florida and Alabama 90-40 just in those 2 games. We barely beat these SEC opponents - South Carolina, Kentucky, and Auburn (all won by 7 points or less), and Tennessee is the worst team we’ve seen from the Rocky Top state since before most of us were born.

Georgia’s recruiting class is in the Top 5-10 EVERY year and we can’t seem to bring it to the next level. What gives? The only common thread is coaching. Look at the off-season discipline problems of many players - look at all the penalities this year. Discipline is part of coaching, and as much as the university is paying CMG and his buddies we should be a Top 5-10 program every single year.

The one good thing about this season for Georgia is that we ended up getting a LOT of freshman/sophomores some serious playing time. But, we lose Masaquoi, Sutherlin, some other key players, and probably either Stafford, Moreno, or both to the pros.

Stafford could very well be a great NFL QB and I’m a Tech Fan. The side arm pass to avoid Johnson was amazing. The Dogs defense lost this one and couldn’t stop Tech in the 2nd half. The new streak starts now. By the way Tech helped you win your National Championship in 1980 with a 3-3 tie against Notre Dame when the Irish came into Atlanta at 7-0. You should thank Tech everyday for that gift. You’ve been a 2nd tier team since then.

Georgia will never get to “the top of the mountain” with Martinez as their defensive coordinator. This guy has peaked as a def. coordinator. Two weeks to prepare for Tech, no adjustments going into the 2nd half, no improvement in defense during the year. I used to give him the benefit of a doubt; however, after his performance this year he needs to go. So much defensive talent not getting properly “coached up”.

No doubt this is a soft Georgia team, especially on defense. Just as FSU went soft after Chuck Amato, the Bulldogs don’t have the fire and grit with Van Gorder in Atlanta. But it is the players that let the team down in the third quarter, not the coach. Tech did not do anything different after halftime, they simply waited for the UGA defense to lose its’ discipline. The amazing part wasn’t the lack of discipline in the second half, it was the appearance of discipline in the first half. Face it, UGA fans. This was a very overrated team. Their level of discipline never approached their talent.

You guys are hilarious…is firing a coach/coaches going to make your defense fast enough to catch running backs? Most teams would love to have a 9-3 record, and wouldn’t gripe about 8-4. Today’s game was a meeting of two super head coaches, both of whom motivated their teams to win. Tech’s victory came by only 3 points, it was a close game. I’ve been a Tech fan for over 30 years and can’t recall any quarter like the 3rd quarter today - SO, UGA needs to rethink their goals (UF and Ala. were wayyyyy better this year), say “congrats” to Tech and get ready for a bowl game.

I said the other day that the only thing that worried me about playing the Dogs was their (mainly short) passing game. That is certainly what kept Georgia competetive and in a position to salvage the game. Thank God Masaquoi is not a concern anymore. I mean this as a compliment: He is the most annoying receiver I have ever seen. Georgia may have lacked on fundamentals today, but they never quit. I was not comfortable until Nesbit took a knee. To all you smack talking bloggers: That game should just about cover it. Now tell me it’s not a rivalry. To you sensible fans: See you next year. I know it’ll be another battle.

Below, “heeldawg” responsed to a post I enter back May 2008. (I responded tonight to his absurd responses).

from: heeldawg // AJC, posted on 05/18/2008 //. Hey, Waa Waaa Waaaaa: A snowball would have a better chance in hell than Tech has of beating Georgia this season. You can dream your pretty little dreams and smoke your nasty little crack pipe all you want, but the actual Tech season will fall egregiously short of your over-inflated dreams. Anyone can make predictions. You�re entitled to yours. Here are mine: 1. Tech will set a team record for turnovers this season�most of them, mind you, in the first half of the season. PJ�s offense is complicated. There will be a learning curve. Execution is predicated upon repetition, and that will not reach critical mass until about midway through the season. —— Pretty good, helldawg, GT actually finished like 118th out of 119 in DIV I for fumbles lost, and STILL managed to win 9 games.

Tech�s record will look a lot like the traditional Tech record in the Gailey years: 6-6 or, just maybe, 7-5, if they get lucky at homecoming and beat Virginia. But that�s not likely. Nice one again….. Tech actually lost to VA, but STILL finished win 9 wins!
The game against Georgia will not be close. And, no, Tech will not win. If football games were battles, this one would be the Battle of Cannae, or Agincourt, or the Battle of Salsu�that is to say, a one-sided bloodbath, a victory bordering on total annihilation somewhat akin to the 51-7 game in 2002. You can have all the delusions you want, but this Georgia team is loaded. This Tech team, despite its new coach, is not. Take your Haldol and wait a few years. I’m not the historian you are, but I will say the game against GA was close; HOWeva, THE JACKETS were the ones notching the W!
The above being said, Paul Johnson will win at Tech. And, yes, he is a better coach than Chan Gailey. But Johnson is not nearly as good as Tech fans seem to think he is (he will not be able to conjure up something out of nothing), and Gailey was not as bad as Tech fans seem to think he was (reference your �eleven bowl games in a row� comment). Winning at Tech is a challenge; it�s hard to recruit to an inner-city school in a second-rate conference when a top ten program in the best football conference in America is sixty miles up the road. Gailey did a lot with inferior talent. But there currently is a talent gap between Georgia and Tech that is as wide as it has ever been in the last decade, and that gap will be painfully obvious over the course of the next 2-3 years. The streak will get longer before it ends. Can you repeat this there, heeldawg.
Paul Johnson will not leave Tech in 5-6 years. A program like Tech or Navy needs a �gimmick� offense to be competitive; most bigger programs do not. PJ�s offense will win Tech some ball games, Tech�s fan base will be happy with the results, and they will make it worth his while to stay. Plus, he likes the state of Georgia (he�s spent most of his coaching career here), and he�s no Nick Saban. He�s loyal. It took a job in Georgia to get him to leave a comfortable position in Annapolis. His lack of mercenary tendencies will serve the Jackets well. Good one again there heeldawg.

That being said, he still will NOT beat Georgia more than he loses to them, no matter how long he stays. That�s the crack pipe talking again. Put it down and walk away, son. You�ll laugh at all of this grandiosity in a few hours. That’s 1-0 for PJ heeldawg … looks like you’re the one who needs to “put down the the crack pipe, and just walk away”.

GT-45 GA-42 Roddy Jones 13 rushes, 214 yards, 2 TDs Jonathan Dwyer 20 rushes, 144 yards, 2TDs GT - 409 yds rushing GA - 81 yds rushing NOT BAD FOR A “HIGH SCHOOL” OFFENSE!

Like I said in MAY, 2008 …. Paul Johnson’s Tech teams WILL BEAT GA MORE TIMES THAN THEY WILL LOSE!!!!! And, as I also said back in May…… the MAN (a.k.a. PJ) knows how to win “rivalry” games. Get used to it GA.

How many other MAJOR college football programs get beat that bad, at home, given two weeks to prepare for a one dimensional team?? The answer is NONE!

This team underperformed all year. They were blown out in their three biggest games of the . How in the hell anyone thought they were a top ten must not have done any analysis.

This team lacks talent, toughness, tackling ability, and leadership. They are great at undisciplined play, penalties & lack of heart. All these traits are a direct result of the coaches these kids play for.

I am already tired of hearing how Martinez teaches it all but the players don’t execute. He gets paid ALOT of money to ensure that he not only teaches it, but that the players execute it.

Once again, we saw one team make adjustments at the half, & one team do nothing. Three blowouts in one year has set this program back in a manner from which it may not ever recover.

Oh well, Georgia will win their bowl, the coaches will all get a raise, & come July, the hype will begin again!

One of the telltale signs today that Martinez did a horrible job of coaching was when Tech called an option play and there was no GA defender with 10 yards of the pitchman. Good grief. Can we fire this goof? I am embarrassed for the first time in a long time about the GA Bulldogs. If CMR doesn’t get rid of Martinez then he needs to go.

It’s fuuny to watch you clowns blame the defemsive coordinator for the loss. Did you not watch the Miami game?

Same result, 400 plus yards. 40+ points.

You can stop 2 of the 3 options but not all three. You can only hope for fumbles and that hasn’t been happening lately so good luck in the future stopping this offense.

You had two weeks off and it didn’t help. Last year at navy, 5 teams tok an extra week to prepare and only one was victorious so that doesn’t help either.

In fact, GT torched two SEC defenses for over 850 yards rushing this year. So much for the vaunted SEC.

That was the good news.

The bad news is this…Johnson’s offense explodes in the 2nd year. Expect 400 yards offense to become the norm and expect GT to start playing for a national championship sooner than later. After all, that’s why PJ left the naval academy…to play for a national title.

Stop recruiting thugs and start recruiting quality players who will graduate. Of all the bowl teams last year, you clwns were dead last in terms of graduation. You need the discipline to play assignment football which obviously you lacked today.

There’s a new sheriff in town and he doesn’t reside in Athens. Get used to the beat downs. When Johnson makes up his mind you are going down, it will happen way more than it doesn’t. Start the job search for Richt and company because you know its coming sooner than later.

Most of you DAWG fans are squared away. Others annoy me in a loss more than their obnoxiousness through many wins. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You have a top-ten program and a top-five coach. Literally every program in America would trade with you, save USC, UF, Oklahoma, Texas and possibly Alabama. You should be proud of you school, your players, and coaches. Instead you act like spoiled brats. I am a long-suffering Tech fan, and I am happy today. However, in no way can we consistently compete with you in resourcing, infrastructure or recruiting. You will hear some loud boasting for a bit.

I just have to jump in here. The lowly and weak ACC, I mean how pityful it must be, that the ACC has to go head to head against the mighty SEC and the more mighty Big 12. What is this, you say? The ACC, that poor weak conference is the only conference in football to have a winning record over BOTH of these high and mighy confernces. Oh yeah, I should point out is it not even close. A 60% winning record against the SEC and a 100% over the Big 12. That is a total of 14 games not just 1 or 2.

Georgia’s defensive players should all be fitted for skirts because they played like a bunch of women. When a team runs the ball right at you and scores like that, you are a disgrace to the program. Richt should be ripping this bunch, not wondering what he could do different. What they could do different is tackle. In the biggest games this year, the defense turned tail.

Let’s summarize the season, so far. We rate #1 pre-season. The Dawgs get blown out at home by Alabama. We get smoked at a neutral site by Florida. Finally after dominating Tech between the hedges for the first half, we give up 26 points in the 3rd quarter. Roddy Jones torches us for 214 yards. Jonathan Dwyer rips us for 144 yards. This is Georgia Tech who lost to UNC and beat Gardner-Webb 10-7. Tech was beaten at halftime. All we have to do is to come out, play hard and apply pressure.

Georgia has to decide whether we want to compete with SEC powers or run with the also-rans. I would rather join the MAC and be able to compete with Ball State and Buffalo rather than get humiliated by Florida and Alabama.

Hey DAWGS….Here’s David Letterman’s Top 10 Reasons to be VERY afraid of Tech in the future:

1) This year GT had a brand new coach 2) This year GT had brand new assistant coaches 3) This year GT had a brand new offensive system….and a tough to learn system 4) This year GT had a new, inexperienced first yr starting QB 5) This year GT wasn’t even playing w/ a full load of scholarships 6) This year GT was the youngest team in the nation, playing a bunch of sophs and true freshman 7) This year GT’s new coach wasn’t even using players that HE recruited for HIS system 8) This year GT played through much of the season w/ injuries to key players, especially in the secondary 9) This year GT’s Dwyer and Jones were only a Soph and a Freshman 10) And this year, despite reasons 1-9 above, GT JUST BEAT YOU…..on YOUR OWN FIELD….in a year where you were preseason picked #1 in the nation and GT wasn’t even on the Top25 radar…..and in a year where you had a balanced offensive attack with a storied experienced UGA quarterback and Running back meanwhile knowing GT could only run the ball. And UGA still couldn’t stop GT’s offense in the end.

So why be afraid? Well…..just wait until Coach Johnson has HIS hand-picked recruits….and is utilizing ALL scholarships…..and when the team IS experienced w/ the triple option…..and when Dwyer and Jones ARE NOT soph and freshman…..and when the majority of the GT TEAM is not sophs and freshman…..and when we don’t have a brand new inexperienced QB…..and when we actually get more of a pass attack to better balance the spread.

….be VERY afraid.

congrats to GT for the win. us dawg fans knew deep down that soft willie couldn’t form a game plan to save his life (or job hopefully) so I’m not surprised that our D looked so confused after having 2 weeks to prepare for this offense. i’m a big CMR fan but I agree that UGA will never win a NC with him at the helm b/c he doesn’t have the killer instinct like Meyer, Saban, Stoops, etc…and a big part of that killer instinct is firing a coordinator for the good of the team even if he’s a friend. no way you should ever score 42 in a game and lose.

I stayed on the fence this year about Martinez, but not after today! After he had a bye week to prepare, it was obvious that his defensive scheme was not sound in the second half. Everyone in the entire nation new the Jackets were going to run the ball and the Dawgs couldn’t stop them with much better athletes.

Martinez must go! If it takes $2M a year to bring Muschamp home to Georgia, it’s well worth it! Bring a dawg home to defend the house because Martinez is out of his league! A head coach and/or an athletic director that doesn’t see it should also have their employment considered….

The CBS/SEC-homers even broadcast, during the game, that UGA is the second-most-penalized team in the nation. You were just being yourselves.

For you and your CBS announcers, it’s called the “tackle-box”. Not to be confused with where you keep your best lures or with the “no-tackle-box”, which apparently Dwyer and Jones were running in all afternoon. Pick up a rule book.

We got beat by a team today we had 2 weeks to prepare for, we knew they weren’t going to pass. amd still they man handled us. Are their 3 star recruits better than our 4-5 star recuits? or is it we get outcoached.Isn’t part of coaching making sure your guys wrap up instead of trying to knock somone down with just your shoulder?

If you cannot make the hard decisions of firing coaches that perform at this level, then you should look at your own position.

The defense needs a change and they need it soon! The coaching there is unacceptable… there is no intensity and fear that was bred by Van Gorder’s defenses… but it’s absurd to see all the Tech fans blustering about how a new era has begun… please… hopefully the rivalry has a pulse but let’s put things in perspective… UGA is one of two programs in the last ten years to finish in the top 10 each year; UGA routinely plays in New Year’s Day bowls and while the National Championship has continued to elude them they are 33-12 in their last 45 meetings with the Jackets… you got a long hill to climb to ‘usher in a new era techies’…

As for my fellow dawg fans, this year was a disappointment for sure and Moreno and Stafford will most likely be gone but at least we should have a healthy offensive and defensive line next year and a very young team - remember we had almost 20 season ending injuries from either starters or frequent players, so next year, with a new D coordinator things should get back on track…

just be glad guys that a 9-3 season is a hugely dissappointing underachievement compared to seeing 9-3 as a phenomenal ‘new era’ type of event… it could be worse, you could be Tech fans…

It’s painfully obvious that Martinez lacks the ability to instill pride, desire and attitude in his players. You can be sure that CRM has been on his arse since the first game of the season and the ongoing results say it all.

You should expect to hear the politically correct BS from CRM because he’s a man that respects others, be they over their heads or just plain incapable of getting the job done. CRM’s a smart coach and will do what must be done to solve this problem. Same thing with the special team performance and the play calling.

Lets show some support for the coach and the players and give them time to work out the problems. CRM’s the captain of the ship and it’s all on his watch. This year is a minor bowl away from being over. The off season will tell us what the AD and CRM have decided to do.

Chip, I think all UGA fans would like to hear Coach Richt say he is aware of all the failures this year and everything will be done to correct them. All you hear is, “the other team was great”, “we never gave up” etc. But, bottom line is this is the worst year of UGA football in his tenure (I know there were 4 losses in 2001)and it probably should have been the best. I just think it would go a long way for the fans if we heard him say everything will be evaluated, because all of a sudden I feel like we are going in the wrong direction.

I am not a football coach, but if a team passes for what - 19 yards or so, maybe they are going to run the ball. And if the team is known for the triple option, maybe they are going to run that play, again and again. GT’s run game seemed to suprise UGA. A few more penalties did not help either. For some reason UGA cannot play in big games.

This is pathetic on so many levels:

This is my least favorite UGA team of the Richt era because they have no heart. I would rather go 9-3 with a ragtag bunch giving 110% than watch a bunch of bluechippers go out and half-a* their way to a good but not great bowl.

Fire Willie Martinez? Maybe if he is the one responsible for making sure we recruit people like Pollack and Blue who can fire up their teammate. I myself am ready for the prima donas to exit stage left and make way for Joe Cox and some current second stringers who know how work harder when the chips are down instead of throwing their hands up.

To Tech fans (Congratulations to all the real Tech fans who stuck with the team through the rough times.) who come in here talking trash about eeking out one win every 8 years, act like you’ve been there before.

Yes, today and the season was one of disappointment. The high hopes we had at the start of the season were soon replaced with the reality that UGA ia a solid team but certainly not a great team. But where did we go wrong? A defense that played with such tenacity late last season and returning so many starters seemed so promising and the strength of the team. Remember, it was our offensive line that some questioned at the start of the season. With all the injuries on the O line I felt they did an outstanding job this year. Howver, the defense seems to have proven to be our achilles heel this year. I think CMR has done an awful lot for the UGA program over the past few years and will hopefully make the adjustments needed. I do not think you can fault coach Bobo nor Gardner for this loss. Offensively we did okay this year with the exception of the Fla game. WE continue to get top recruiting classes but can’t seem to reach our potential and have become unachievers. Lack of discipline on defense and sporatic special teams seem to be in question. Those coaches seemingly are lacking in job performance and need addressing in my humble opinion.

ACC is undoubtedly one of, if not the, weakest conference in the nation and so winning over Duke doesn�t exactly put you into top 25 territory.

As a GT AND UGA fan…. i gotta say im GLAD GT won today! Usually the only time i root for UGA in the rivalry is when they have a chance at a National Champ…. !

WHY are fellow UGA fans so p**? with all the injuries look on the bright side. We lost to 2 of the top 4 teams in the Nation, and lost to one should be top 10 team in GT…. the BEST team in the Acc if u ask me……

Not a bad year for either team, but room for improvment. And Moreno and Stafford should have alot to prove next year so hopefully thell come back!.

Look for GT AND UGA to both be top 5 material again with 2 years.

What hurts the most is that the national press is and has been correct about UGA. We are not, have not been, and will not be an Elite Football Program.

Why did we go for it on 4th down ? We all know why Tech did, but us ?

Well, we have to do something. We cannot stand pat.

For years, it seemed that the intact staff was a plus.

But, we don’t pay enough to the assistants and simply giving them more, isn’t the answer.

But, that is all Coach Richt has done.

Is this an Elite Program ?

Number 22 in 2001 Final AP Poll.

Number 3 in 2002 Final AP Poll.

Number 7 in the 2003 Final AP Poll.

Number 7 in the 2004 Final AP Poll.

Number 10 in the 2005 Final AP Poll.

Number 23 in the 2006 Final AP Poll.

Number 2 in the 2007 Final AP Poll.

Number 19 in the 2008 AP Poll probably now.

Coach Richt has an Average Finish in the Final AP Polls of Number 12. Dozen.

The Aflack Question by CBS was totally in error. The question they said was who has been ranked in the Top 10 each of the last 6 seasons. Southern California out there in the PAC-1 and they said UGA. Excuse me, the 1st year of Matthew Stafford we were Number 23.

How in the Living Hell CBS is that Top 10 ?

Number 23 ?

And, we have no way to get to Top 10 this season. We’re headed the other way.

You could change the whole entire staff, for all I care.

This season is a LOST SEASON.

LOST.

Lose to Georgia Tech ‘Tween the Hedges.

The Pick 6 was bad when we had the momentum and that changed the football game, right there. Instead of 21 to nothing, we had a tied game.

I have no idea why we acted as if we could not run the football.

Blessed with the 2 Best Fullbacks in the nation, we never handed the ball to either one. Even on 3rd and half a foot.

Good Lord.

Every TD, Tech went for 2 and made every one. That, too, was the difference in the game right there too.

Kickoffs. I am fed up with that part of college football, for us. Kicking and receiving kickoffs.

Look. If I told you that we have no Tight End on the team and no Defensive End, wouldn’t that be a reflection on Rodney Garner too ?

Sylvester Croom.

Chief, as another mentioned in a I guess dead blog here on these WebPages, John Chavis, would be a great hire - give him the cash. With the exception of on again off again Offensive Coordinator now Duke head coach David Cutcliffe, Chief is all Fulmer ever had.

Jon Tenuta will be looking for a job with Charlie Weis a complete wash-out too at Notre Dame.

I’ve always liked Charlie Strong too.

This �Tough Love� Rodney Garner calls it when he berates his DL in public, is not working. Tony Ball, Running Backs Coach ? What has he done ? Caleb King is a wash-out, when he came in with promise. We haven�t played anyone else. Where is RB Coaching ? Knowshon Moreno ? Hell, he�s leaving.

Mike Bobo ? He had a great season for us as a QB his Senior Year. I am sorry but there is nothing Bobo has done since, nor before that 1 Senior Season.

John Eason ? How many years you going to keep this what ? What has John Eason done ? Tried to ruin Mohamed Massaquoi. Then, no show last night AJ Green. Is this the future of AJ Green ? You have recruited 17 wide receivers on this roster today for John Eason and you have wasted the scholarships.

Jon Fabris. What a joke. He is Special Teams Coach, or Special Ed ? Defensive Ends Coach ? What Defensive Ends ? We have not had 1 all season long. Who have you recruited even to be Defensive End ? Go ahead tell me.

John Lilly Tight Ends. Who the hell is a Tight End on this roster either ?

Or, better yet who the Hell have you committed at TE or DE besides 1 guy each for next season, both of whom are 4.93 in the 40-yard dash. George Godsey is faster than that.

John Jancek, Linebackers Coach. Really ?

Bunch of nobodies.

Willie Martinez.

What a joke of a staff.

Get some guts Coach Richt and demand the monies to pay for a Real Staff.

This 1 is not getting the job done on the field, nor is staying out of the bad press.

You and your staff don�t deserve to be in charge of kids coming in 17 and 18 years old. You don�t know what you are doing, none of you.

You cannot have the holes we have in recruiting where we don’t have a Tight End and don’t have a Defensive End, and on the Offensive Line we have 5 we recruit 2 years in a row for 8 years and then go 6 years without a single OL. Instead, we have 17 receivers - pretty much wasted scholarships. And, what’s up with this 4 top 10 quarterback scholarships every single solitary year too ?

But, when you change the staff, you have to fix the issues too.

We cannot have 11 arrested and 18 injured for the season.

29 players on scholarship.

First, and foremost, I am fed up of being Number 12 in the Final AP Poll every year for 8 years now of Coach Richt Era and read in the GD paper every day another is arrested.

Arrested ?

Fine.

You just Lost your Scholarship.

You are not tainting our Reputation and getting off Scott-Free except for a Public Suspension.

I’m fed up with it.

And, why 18 players starting Day 1 of Camp lost for the season ? What are we doing no one else in America is doing ?

We have 29 players suspended (arrested) and injured. We become the Number 1 team in the nation this season and what do we do ? We go out and have two (2) brawls. What ? Are we recruiting gang members here or what ?

I will not stand for it.

Is that why they injure each other in practice too ? Because they are arrested and suspended thugs who cannot win unless it is a very weak opponent (We beat zero Top 25 teams this season, in the Final AP Poll and no hope that any of the teams we did beat will end in the Top 25 with losses by Central Michigan, LSU and South Carolina - again for all 3.) - So, we go to practice and do harm to our starters that we cannot replace because we have all of our scholarships tied up at wide receiver and quarterback.

Why can’t we at UGA kickoff into the damn end zone ?

LOST SEASON, and I am NOT happy.

Phil Steele said we had problems.

We played 3 teams who are Final AP Poll Top 25 teams. Gave up over 40 points to all 3. What ? This is a Big XII team now ?

A WAC team ?

A PAC-10 team ?

Big East team ?

Big 10 team ?

Good Lord.

I will tell you what else.

I am fed up of these WASTED 2ND HALF TIME-OUTS.

Mohamed Massaquoi came to the sidelines winded, and a black coach with his back to us, stopped him, held him and sent him back on with 2 seconds on the play clock ?

Who the Living Hell was that Coach ?

Fire his lame butt, right now.

Now.

Not tomorrow or Wednesday.

Now.

We would have gotten the ball back folks, and had a shot at tying field goal were it not for that 1 play either. We could have called time-out and forced them to punt.

Of course, I don’t know what Matthew Stafford was doing calling the 1st time-out of the 2nd half.

Either.

2nd Half Time-Outs Belong to The Head Coach.

Only.

You don’t just take 1 because you don’t want a 5-yard damn penalty.

5 yards is NOTHING.

We cannot put anyone away.

Coach Richt, sir :

If you will NOT change your staff (like all of them), then sir you can figure you are not long for this program, for on the field and off the field, you have embarrassed our school sir with those whom you surround yourself with as coaches and as thugs, er uh, I mean players. Coach Richt, sir, I am sorry but it’s just not working out. If we are going to have to settle for being Number 12 every year, on the average, for your 8 seasons here - and, put up with all the horrible press in the newspapers every day too, then - listen up now Coach Richt - you are gravely mistaken if we fans of this school are going to put up with this combination.

It’s not working out.

And, it’s not just this year. You have never had an offense here at UGA. You have seen every recruit arrested and then you suspend them. Now, you have no special teams and no defense. In the meantime, you are recruiting a mish-mash of top flight players - all at some positions such as QB and WR and not at other glaring holes on the roster such as Tight End and Defensive End. Then, there is this rolling issue of the Offensive Linemen recruits, where you go year after year after year after year with zero OL recruits. Then, you recruit 5 in the next year. Redshirt them all, then recruit 7 the next season and perpetuate this on-going rolling problem with our school on the Offensive Line. I didn’t like it when you did the celebration last year, whoever it was you expected or didn’t expect on the field. You give up short fields on every kickoff, and always have and never have anything on kickoff returns yourself. You have not learned how to run a football program. In a year you should not have gone worse than 12-2, you go 10-3 and that is only if you get off your sorry butt this week and get some staff in here who will enforce discipline, motivate the players to play, and have some semblance of a game plan. It was your plan to not run the football and let them score 26 unanswered points from breakdowns on all sides of the ball and special teams ? Oh, B.S. Coach Richt.

There are 3 teams who will finish in the Final AP Poll Top 25 your staff and thugs played this year. You were embarrassed by all 3, and every day in the press in addition. Not satisfactory Coach Richt.

THWG! Football is a team sport, Tech proved that today. I don’t care who your coaches are, when the triple option is run to perfection (great reads - Zero turnovers), no defense can stop it. An earlier posting said that with the Dawgs defense against Tech yesterday, Coach Erk Russell was rolling over in his grave. I doubt it…….. Coach Russell is the one responsible for hiring CPJ to bring this offense to Georgia Southern, because he knew how hard it was to defend. Six National Championships in 16 years proves it works….. That, plus the lies and defamation of Coach Russell’s character by U of GA (when Vince Stooley lied about offering Erk the head job at Georgia) has Erk looking down, lighting up a big STOGIE, and grinning from ear-to-ear. .So on what should have been a banner day for Georgia, with great performances by some very talented individuals, Tech won with teamwork, and a never-say-die effort that ranks as one of the best team efforts I can remember.

Why does everyone here think Richt is such a great coach? He’s a great man, yes. He’s politically correct, and this man can impress donors. He belongs in sales, well, I guess that’s really what coaching has become. Sales. He’s entertaining. That’s for sure, that’s for dang sure. But, as a coach he’s a leg lift. He’s an average coach. He doesn’t understand the mission of football.

I think we have to define football first, and then choose a coach who matches the criteria in that definition.

Football defined: Football has pylons. The pylons mark an imaginary plane which extends from the pylons to infinity in all directions. Football lives in that imaginary plane, and is subject to absolutely no known laws of physics, probability, or God. A football game starts when the football is placed outside the imaginary planes into the field of play. The mission of football is to return to the imaginary planes.

You see, kind people, the real world of the playing field is a poor place for a football. People kick it. Throw it. Slam it. And pile on top of it. That’s not nice. The football doesn’t like being batted around. It takes it personally. It wants it’s mommy, in it’s real home, between the pylons, in the infinity of implied vectors which form the structure of any imaginary plane.

Resign, coach Richt. I’d rather have poor sod, old goalposts, and torn uniforms than show the disrespect that you show the football, or lose games as needlessly as you lose them.

CMR said “I’m not looking for anyone to blame” … WHY NOT??? Somone needs to accept the blame and its not CMR even though he’s the Head Coach.

Coach Richt, where is the fire? Where is the passion? Where is the real CMR? You are a wonderful man and a great coach but you’re allowing some of your coaches (friends) to pull the program down to an unacceptable level. Look in the mirror and ask yourself to truly look at Willie Martinez and look at what he has done this year.

HOW IN THE WORLD COULD YOU EVER CONSIDER ALLOWING HIM TO STAY ANOTHER YEAR?

If you do, good committed fans will already be discouraged in their view of Georgia football. 300 yards rushing in one quarter and no adjustments … Willie must GO!!!

The most fight Willie showed in the game was his fight with an assistant on the sidelines and the ASSISTANT PROBABLY WON.

Please, please, please, FIRE WILLIE NOW and allow someone to FIRE up the defense for the bowl game.

Average is always the biggest enemy of greatness and Willie Martinez isn’t even average.

Please don’t sluff this off as a few unhappy fans … people throughout the bulldog nation are savy and smart and they know where the problem is. They just hope you know and will do something about it.

Well, well, well, self-proclaimed BCS NC in August. What say ye now? You thought your coaches and players were wonderful and ready to go all the way but most of the rest of the S.E.C. fans knew you were only blowing smoke up your arses. Maybe if you had stopped whining and then turned to supreme gloating, your season would have gone much better. I’m not a Tech fan either but in the end, you got what you deserved - once again. I know LSU hasn’t done very well but we played most of our season with a redshirt freshman and our last game with a true freshman and he looked pretty darn good for his first start. Too bad S.E.C. officials are still as sucky as they are because the Arkansas player that caught that last TD with 21 seconds left pushed off on the LSU receiver and I do believe most officials in other conferences would call that offensive pass interference. No matter, we will be back with a much better developed QB next year. Florida will probably beat Alabama in the S.E.C. Championship game and go on to win their 2nd Waterford crystal football - something LSU did before any other other team. Too bad they would still only have one since a recruit knocked their over and broke it! To me, that explains Florida! HA!

It’s obvious that dscipline on this team is a problem, focus, technique, toughness, physicallity etc, etc. I think CMR sees even more than our educated eyes see and I trust him and Evans to do something. Myabe this loss will turn out to be the straw that breaks the camels back and get some things done.

UGA has the worst defense EVER in football- midgets, jv’s, high school, jr colleges, college, and pro. Fire Martinez?? Well, to coach, one has to have something to coach. I feel sorry for Rennie Curran, only player there. I was hoping Stafford and Moreno would come back, but now?? They are GREAT, but if they ever want to win anything, they will, I repeat WILL have a better chance in the nfl, even if it is at detroit. Also Samuel and King need to go elsewhere. Maybe if Samuel had not fumbled, we win. Ealy and Moody- GOD BLESS you for coming to a school that has NO defense!!!!!! I am embarrassed right now and have no confidence in UGA football and will take a major miracle to get it back!!! GOOOOOOOO Gym Dogs!!! Unless you forget what you are doing too.

Also maybe it’s time for Mark Richt to go. You never see Richt fired up about a loss. Richt i think you should leave stay away and do your truck commercials with other school colors on.

UGA needs to learn from the Falcons who finally seem to realize that character counts and recruiting thugs and punks who wind up in jail is not the way to build a football program the fans can be proud of and the coach’s can rely on. Size and speed do you no good when the player is on suspension.

That’s funny.LOL.I’m a Ga. fan that likes Tech as well.I have a difficult time when they play each other.When they do, I just want the better team to win.This year I believe that was the case.Any team who scores 42 points should expect a win.But,wins don’t come from offense alone.All Georgia fans know that the defense was and is undiciplined,poorly coached in tackling skills,fail to play smart football.You wonder how some of these players were ever qualified to be out there on field.The game is called tackle football not tag you’re it. Come on coaches, tighten these people up or put them on the sideline.

You were DRUBBED by Bama my Gators and now Tech..26 unanswered 3rd quarter points broke your spirit—what little spirit you had left—and now the excuses are raining like the deluge in Tallahassee where the Gators crushed FSU. Fact is girls UGA is just not a championship caliber team and hasn’t been since 1980. I hope that Stafford and NoShow come back next year cause I sure want to see another butt kickin in Jax..it was so much fun this year watching the UGA side of the field empty in the 3rd qtr. Looks like you puppies can look forward to several 7 and 4 or 8 and 3 seasons….I just received my ducats for the SEC championship next weekend…maybe some puppy players can sell programs or popcorn cause that’s the only way you’ll be there..see you next year girls have a long winter BTW Ohio State is going to kick your butts in Orlando on Jan 1….but you like that , don’t you.

Being an ex Georgia Fan for the last 4 weeks due to a severe disagreement with a defensive coordinator who could turn 4-5 star recruits into a group of 1-2 stars, I called this shot. I was really hoping I would be wrong and that Willie Martinez could use the off week to prepare and stop Tech (and their big mouths) in their tracks. I guess he chose to squeeze in a few more recruiting trips instead. Oh well, more 4-5 stars that will all play in the NFL but while at Georgia, still play like 1-2 stars again.

THIS Georgia fan will not get caugeht up in the recruiting hype again. I’m tired of seeing my beloved university underachieve again.

I’m going back to following high school football where coaching still matters.

This blog is amazing. No kidding, if one goes to a Baton Rouge, Montgomery, Knoxville, Jackson et al newspaper, one can fill in the blanks on coaches that the commenors want fired. This blog is a mirror image of those blogs. Look at the total body of work of CMR and CWM. There’s probably 100 Div 1 schools’ fans that would take them in a NY second. The pundits and polls got too many of you excited with the pre-season #1 ranking. You see CMR or CWR on the sidelines on TV and make judgments on their enthusiasm or lack thereof; pitiful. Look at Coach Richt’s body of work. Some of yall act like Tech beat us by 40 points or something. They did whip our butts in the 3rd quarter. Yep, too much arm tackling and missed tackles. But look at the body of work of CWM; highly ranked D’s in the past. Neither coach suddenly forgot how to coach. We still have a chance at a good bowl game. We still have a game left to play. If we win that game, many of you will change your attitude. Speculation on Matthew and Knowshown is pre-mature; it’s their decision and will come in due time. Perhaps if we start next season unranked and work our way up, many of you will change your tune. No kidding, exactly like blogs in Jackson, Montgomery and Knoxville; exact words, just fiil in the blanks on the coaches. (Couldn’t help but post when I saw the count at 499; had to make it 500.)

ASSuming your are new to this, that’s called bragging rights and please don’t act like UGA fans wounld’t on here rubbing GT’s nose in it if they had just won eight in row.

I for one enjoy reading and making fun of the delirium out of the lunatic fringe UGA fans. CMR transformed UGA from a wannabe into a top team in the SEC and every time UGA loses, the lunatics are ready for him to go.

And by lunatic fringe I mean the ones that year end and year out think UGA is an elite program when the facts to support this belief do not exist. Before you get your panties in wad about that statement, please consider that UGA last won a national championship 28 years ago and before CMR arrived, hadn’t won an SEC championship outright for 20-years.

The facts about this rivalry are that UGA generally dominates GT with the benefit of better athletic talent and until this year, better coaching. So why do GT fans “talk trash”, because they won this year and can.

Richt is an excellent football coach. Was at FSU and is at UGA. He is especially good with QB development. Green, Shockley, Stafford at UGA and Ward, Weinke at FSU before that.

I think this will be a season that CMR really learns from. Remember when he rolled into Athens? The goal was to start winning again. Then the goals elevated to SEC titles, and now national titles. Richt has spent a lot of time learning to be a better coach (ala the CEO articles over the summer). Coaching with national title expectations is rare (and difficult) air. His work trying to balance aggression and discipline is no easy task, particularly with youth. One thing I thing UGA really missed this season that it had last for senior leadership on the defensive side of the ball. On the offense there were several vocal leaders, but what about defense?

This season will make Mark Richt a better coach in the long run.

As a Jacket, I will savor this win. However, I look forward to the day when the GT program gets to where 9-3 is considered a disappointment.

As will leave coaching staff decisions in CMR capable hands, but his post game quote was NOT a ringing endorsement.

I predicted right here that uga would lose three games at the start of the season.

Number 1 ga should have started in the top 10 not number 1. This is not a program like texas Fla that can start at the top and bounce back. Uga doesnt have that tradition yet so they were overwhelmed.

Number 2 Stafford is not as good as advertised with that leave it to beaver haircut. Sure he has a strong arm, but so did Mike Vick and ironic both of them deals with Bulldogs. You see what that got them. I predict he will be a faliure in the NFL so let him go.

Number 3 Morena is a descent back but what happened to him is he got to watching espn and looking at the pictures in the newspaper Lol and forgot to play the game. He will never be an everydown back in the NFL kick returner 3rd down back at most. 3yrs and he will be back in new jersey standing on the street corner. So let him go Caleb King and Asher Allen are better.

Number 4 Cmr is not a head coach. He is a great oc and that is what he should go back to. If he is to remain head coach he needs to get a new dc like today. wm needs to go.

number 5 Georgia has only one solution if they truly want to win. With all the talent that comes to Athens we should be a consistant top 5 team.

GEORGIA NEEDS TO EAT CROW AND GO AND GET THE ONE AND ONLY VISOR KING IF THEY WANT TO WIN!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been wanting to see Martinez & Fabris fired. Only our offense enabled us to win most of the games this year despite our lay down defense. Next year we’ll have to rely on defense more with Stafford, Moreno, MoMass, etc gone.

If Richt doesn’t replace Martinez & Fabris before next season and we play like we did this year, Dawg Nation will be calling for Richt to go.

I can’t help but chuckle at all these NEW Tech fans this morning. Tech deserved to win and their REAL fans should enjoy it. I think anyone who follows these two programs knows that with one more play on either side the outcome could have been different. As for the Georgia side, our season has been a failure. We could win 10 games and it would still be a failure. Most Georgia fans feel as I do that Georgia should not lose to Tech in any sport. That just shows how high the standards are. As for football, this Georgia team could be on a four game losing streak right now. Auburn and Kentucky are not good offensive teams as their final games have shown. Give either of them an average offense and we probably would have lost both games. I have not seen a Georgia defense this bad since Richard Bell was in Athens during the Goff years. I have attended every game Coach Richt has been in charge(home and away) and I have to say I have no confidence at all in our defense. It goes without saying that changes need to be made. We are about to find out what kind of coach we have. I don’t think we have the same caliber of players on defense we have had the past few years which is part of the problem. But, you can teach anyone how to tackle. So why haven’t we? Our defense appears not to have mastered the fundamentals. Isn’t it the job of the defensive staff to evaluate talent and recruit the right players for our team? That’s coaching. I’ll be at the bowl game and all Georgia fans should be also. This 1 game streak against Tech won’t last long as is always the case against Tech. Go Dogs and lets hope our coach makes the right moves. To do nothing would make me question Coach Richt for the first time.

After reading a lot of these blogs, I have come to the conclusion that some of you don’t kmow squat about football.

Give Coach Johnson credit, he and his staff made great halftime adjustments on their run blocking schemes and it worked. To even mention Bobo in the same breath with CWM and Fabris is foolish.

Dawgs defense came out with poor effort in the third quarter and it cost them. CWM is a coordinator not a position coach. He had our guys in position to make tackles and they did not- that goes back to position coach and not the coordinator.

And to the Gator fans who keep saying Stafford is overated, if he is he is realy overated. He will be the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft if he comes out as a true junior. Tebow is a great college quarterback too. But will probably not be a starter in the NFL ever.

Pathetic fan base!

And to Dawg @ 9:19 Yep - you are right. One play either way would have made a difference. Like if the officials had made the correct call at the end of the first half, the UGA TD would not have counted (you can’t trap the ball between yourself and the ground) and Tech would have won by 10. But, we are happy with 3. Yep you are right.

The ACC is the only conference with a winning record over both the powerful SEC and the Big 12. Seems the ACC beats them head to head. The only conference that is ahead of the ACC is the Big 10, which is one game when Northwestern beat Duke. But the media will contuinue to belittle the conference.

I hope all the UGA fans boycott the bowl. Why should we have to pay to see this sorry-a* brand of football. If we start getting into the pocketbook Adams, Evans and the powers to be will take notice. Plus, if we play Ohio State we will be the first SEC team to lose to them. Theres no way we will be able to stop their running game. Richt says he prays before and asks God what to do before he makes coaching decisions (ala before he made BoBo OC) SO he will never fire Martinez because obviously he prayed about Martinez and obviously God told him to promote Martinez. So, if he fired Martinez that would mean God was wrong and Richt isn’t going to admit that. Plus what college team has two chaplains. Richt’s brother-in-law mimisters just to the coaching staff and they have another chaplain for the players. This reeks of nepotism to me. I like what Johnson said about his players, and I quote “I don’t want to be their buddy, I have my friends and they have theirs” Richt wants to socialize with them,(i.e. bowling league, prayer meetings, etc.) I wonder if he prayed about Kirby Smart and was told to make him a running back coach? Maybe Saban is higher in Gods poll than Richt, we get Martinez and Saban gets Kirby Smart. The only way we will get rid of Richt is if he gets divine guidance to become a missionary or a preacher. Maybe the Congo would be good, or ANYWHERE but Athens! He is one of the most naive people I have ever seen, does he really think he is the only football coach that is ordained by God? I honestly think he believes this. The malaise has set in, we can count on the 8,9,10, win seasons under Richt because of the sheer talent we get but, it will never get any better. As Bobby Bowden said when Richt was hired, “I just don’t know if he is tough enough” how prophetic. There might be two coaches on the entire staff worth keeping (Searles, Garner) other than that they all need to GO!!!!

Let’s start naming possible replacements for Willie…Sylvester Croom is an intriguing hire but you have to think he’ll get a head coaching job somewhere. Croom has never been a defensive coordinator, either. I am not sure if John Chavis at Tenn will be keeping his job since Kiffin will want to bring in his own staff. Tenn has had a good defense, so Chavis could be a good hire. He’s been at Tenn since ‘89, so you think he’ll be staying put, somehow.

Re: Stafford I almost hope that he leaves. He wasn’t the leader that I hoped for. Seemed to have a blase attitude and no edge to him. Imagine if Greene had the talent that Stafford had? Imagine if Stafford had the leadership skills of Greene. I hope that Aaron Murray/Mettenberg/Gray are stand up motivated leaders.

Re: Moreno Class act. Team player, very motivated and extremely skillful. I hope that he stays.

Yesterday’s game: The special teams play was horrible. We let them start on the 40 multiple times. There’s no excuse for kicking the ball out of bounds. Our coverage on kickoff returns was horrible. We might as well have tried an onside kick after we scored the td very late in the 4th.

Stupid penalties and no tackling killed us. We constantly gave up big plays. We let them score in the first 15 secs of the second half. Came out asleep in the second half. That’s poor coaching.

Richard Samuel’s fumble was horrible. The tech kicker consistently was kicking it to Samuel’s left and he never adjusted. Stafford’s throwing the ball away and interception choices were poor. The third quarter was just pathetic. That’s on coaching.

Sad to see a season with such promise turn out this poorly. If we had beaten Tech I wouldn’t be as ticked, but you cannot lose this game, especially when favored.

Hopefully, we build up the lines in the offseason. Get healthy Sturvident and Owens.

AJ Green is a stud. This I know.

To summarize in no particular order: 1. Fire Willie, Fabris and anyone associated with special teams coaching. 2. Hope moreno stays 3. Get healthy sturvident, owens, murray, and figgins, etc.

The anouncer Gary Danielsen said UGA’s secondary plays “lazy defense” instead of hustling and keeping the receivers in front of them, they wait until the receiver gets to them and start pushing and grabbing and you know what, “He’s Right!!” It’s for sure UGA’s secondary aren’t T&A guys, they are strictly A guys, because everytime you see them they are chasing a receiver looking at his rear end. Perfect example, Tech’s receiver was behind Allen in the end zone, open I might add, and the ball was overthrown and Allen was beating his chest as if he had made a great play. That is the mindset of the entire secondary. It’s embarrassing to watch!

For all you Georgia fan’s that don’t like seeing a picture of the Georgia Tech players with a piece of the hedge, just keep asking for the Florida game to go to Athens ever other year. You will need a hedge garden to replace all the dead hedge.

A fitting end for the most penalized and undisciplined team in the country. Spend the off-season on tackling.

Why would any NFL team want Stafford? He loses EVERY BIG GAME (Florida, Tech, Bama, LSU etc…). Same for Noshow-on Moreno. Well he did peform that magical leap over Northeast Michigan. Welcome back to mediocre football dawgs fans. Your obnoxious, drunken, trash talking(for no reason might I add)tattoo sporitng, sidewalk almumni, walmart shopping fans definitely deserve it.

It was a shoot out and 14 pts from turnovers was more than the difference in the game. When it comes down to it, UGA’s defense is strong and talented. But they’re also dumb and undisciplined. I don’t know how much of that you can blame on coaches. Part of the problem is the caliber of athlete UGA recruits.

Anyway, I’d like to thank all the trash talkers of the Bulldawg nation. You’ve been a tremendous nuisance for a long time, but you really made this victory sweet. Thanks!

I, just like all of the AP pollsters, presumed Georgia would pick up right where they left off after the Hawaii game last year. I mean, the Georgia defense returned all but one player (and he was only a spot starter) from a team that was ranked number 2 in the nation and totally destroyed an 11-0 Hawaii team in the Sugar Bowl. Right? The only question would be could Searles build an offensive line out of freshmen and sophomores that could open holes for Moreno and provide protection for Stafford. Well, Searles should be coach of the year and Martinez should be reassigned to coaching kickers and helping Ms. Richt with the water. My advice is to have Bobo and Searles coach the offense and Garner and Searles coach the Defense! Martinez single handedly neutered the dawgs defense and the university better make sure it doesn�t happen again.

Again,

Until the big money alumni get tired of how this coaching staff has wasted multiple years of talent, no changes are going to happen.

Money, boys, money. Remember it.

Collectively, the small contributors (the $50.00, $100.00,)givers, yes, they impact the picture when it becomes a widespread disatisfaction (just ask Ray Goof). Because when you multiply the $100.00 x 1000s of donors then you, collectively, have a huge money impact on the program.

But, lookee what we have here: Most of the small time donors are just fat, dumb, and happy with this situation. They are the first to claim “Auburn would love to have our record” or “Tenn would love to have our record” and other similar lame comments.

The same coaching staff will be back next year. Bobo with his knucklehead play calling, Martinez with his inept defense. After all, we can’t fire a man who once was our very own QB, or a man who’s been our best friend since college days, right?

Stafford and Moreno will be gone next year. And the wonderful coaching staff will direct the dawg program to a 4 win season.

Carry on…

Correct me if I am wrong, a couple of years ago fumblers were punished by being pulled from the game, right? I clearly remember Danny Ware standing on the sideline after messing up, it’s called discipline I believe.

Here’s Richt’s quote about Samuel’s fumble yesterday:

�That was tough on him,� Richt said. �I�m not going to sit here � I�m just going to love the kid, you know what I mean? We all know he feels bad about it. He doesn�t need me to tell him about it. He knows that it�s important to hang onto the ball. But it came out.�

What?!! Someone needs to clue Richt in and fast.

CMR brought in the “Finish the Drill” mentality. it was embraced by the team and they played from the opening kick to the final whistle. The 08 defense has not embraced that philosphy. they play about 1/2 the game and think of the great press clippings they have where reporters write about how great and talented they are. they have failed to make the connection that to be truely great and live up to your potentil you must perform on the field. great press about how talented you are will not land you in the nfl with a job. i am searching for the best adjective to describe the defense, inept, overrated, incompetent, unprepared, disappointing. i have yet to decide. i can tell you they lack heart, desire to be great,and character. who is the leader of the defense? who is the heart and soul? who pulls them up and leads them? no name comes to mind curran comes close, but they do not follow him. yes they won 9 games this year. percentage wise it looks good. they are 0-3 in the 3 biggest games of the year. the offense and defense should have group meetings without the coaches to decide who they want to become and how they want to be remembered. they should then hold a press conference and announce to their followers what they decided so expectations for the future are properly set. as for the coaches, they need to do the same. if they decide that they did all they could and there is nothing else they could have done, then they need to step aside because the job is not getting done and they admit that they can’t do what needs to be done. one cannot hide behind the statement that they won 9 and only lost 3 and it is impracticable to be 12-0. while that is true, they could look like they were in the game and trying but just got beat for their best efforts. when they lose because they look lost, confused, and/or are not trying, the “but we won 9” defense crumbles. i am not calling for heads to roll, but as a booster of over 35 years, i would like to see some honest explanations and a plan for corrective action.

There is no player leadership on either side of the ball. Matt Stafford has a heck of an arm and is smart as any QB out there but I will take a leader with a good arm over him anyday. I wish Matt the best of luck but I don’t think we lose much with Cox under center. As far a the defense goes. If you cannot prepare a team to stop the run, which Willy knew was coming, with two weeks to prepare you should pack your bags. Willy M should do the right thing and resign and not put Mark Richt in a bad situation. If we start the season with him running the D then we can book our seats at the once called Peach Bowl. The Junkyard D died about 4 or 5 years ago.

ColMosby’sBatman

After reading all the UGA comments I am reminded about what Coach Richt said about the fans. � If they really knew football, they wouldn�t be saying the things they say, but they don�t.�

With all due respect, but those comments by Coach Richt were an attempt to defend his best friend Coach Martinez. While the Coaches don’t play on the field they are still responsible for getting their players ready to play and compete. Martinez is not a good defensive coordinator as yesterday’s game proved again. He just doeszn’t have the ability to lead and has shown that time and again. My 15 year old son could see that certain players on Georgia’s defense were hurting the team by arm tackling, being out of position, not hustling etc. but instead of yanking these players out he leaves them on the field. He also failed to make adjustment in the third quarter when Tech started pitching the ball to the running backs to run around the end on almost every play. When they finally made an adjustment, after Tech had scored 26 unanswered points, they started hitting us up the middle again.

This has been a very disapointing season not because we lost three games but the way this team has performed on and off the field. They have not represented themselves, the University
