I am completely over the Georgia Bulldogs and their feeble attempts to beat Florida. The Gators own us, obviously, and I don’t see it getting better. I hope I don’t see one - not one - person write in about what a great moral victory this was. It was horrible. Our coaching staff is great when they have great talent. But here we are, with all their guys, and they cannot make a decision on most of them and when they do, it doesn’t work. Finally, we have a QB. he played OK. Why did it take game 8 before they figured it out. Didn’t they realize about this time last year that J.D. Stokely was leaving?

All that’s left now is to have fun in the last few games and make sure the boys are going to class and getting an education. The season is over. I hope this isn’t the beginning of a long slide back to what we’ve usually been - better than average, but not that much better.

It’s a miracle BILL KING GAVE CREDIT TO MARTINEZ FOR THE PLAY OF THE DEFENSE!

This just in BILL, Georgia tackled a lot better this game which is what Martinez has said this defense has not done.

This game came down to the fumble out of the half and not running Lumpkin enough.

You heard Conyers say it first, the NFL guys will one day wonder what the coaches were doing not giving Lumpkin the ball 25 times a game.

Tough game to lose. It seemed as though momentum was beginning to swing in our team’s favor for a few minutes. First, I must say that the defense played very well. The guys played very hard and I must give Willie Martinez credit for preparing them for the game. Guys, we lost the game because of one turnover in particular. I know that Stafford threw two interceptions but we lost because of Lumpkin’s inability to hold on to the ball. The injury to Thomas Brown really hurts because I am sure that he would have been in the game. Second, I don’t think that Stafford played great but he did a good job. I think that the tight ends and the wide receivers need to hold on to the ball. Maybe Lumpkin, Milner, and some of the receivers need some time on the bench because the drops and fumbles are too much to stomach. We knew today’s game was going to be tough, but the defense kept us in the game and dropped passes and the fumble lost us the game. Overall, I wish we would have gotten the ball back on the last drive in the 4th quarter but the call did not go our way. The odds and the referees were stacked against us. I am hurt but I think we played a good game and Florida is lucky to survive. We need to get ready for the next game. I know we can beat the Auburn team that showed up in Oxford on today. I am hoping that the fans won’t be too hard on Coach Richt this week. I think that gameplan was good but the Coach has to do something about the dropped passes. Stafford is a freshman and the receivers need to help him out. Go dogs!!!

Great effort from our guys. Despite our coaching staff and all the holding they got away with. i can see why they lead the country in being pentilized. they hold every play, on both sides of the ball. yes they won, but as appolo creed said, they bleed when they are cut, i.e., they ain’t that good. call it fair, cut out the turnovers and catch every other pass, we whip’em today.

The defense was exceptional in the second half. The fumble killed us, like turnovers have all year. With Stafford, I could write that off to inexperience, but not Lumpkin. He has no excuse.

The officials didn’t cost us the game. Dropped balls and turnovers cost us the game. Even though it was a loss, they played with more heart than they have in a long time. When we get some recievers in here, our offense will be dangerous. Na Derris Ward will be a force next year, and we’ll have Sean Bailey back.

We make a kick in the Vandy game, and we’re pretty much where we expected to be right now.

I have a feeling we will beat either Tech or Auburn though. Maybe both.

And for the mullet headed, jean short wearing swamp trash: If we suck so bad, what does that say about the Gators, given that they could only beat us by a touchdown?

It’s like a broker record: Dropped passes, turnovers and meltdowns! Oh why do I even bother. Maybe someday Georgia will recruit some players that can actually catch a college pass. Doubtful but I can dream.

And speaking of dropped passes, what’s all this stuff about fans should be ashamed for booing the team? These “kids” get a $100,000 dollar education, some of which comes from fans tax dollars. Like it or lump it, college receivers should be able to make catches. Period!

I don’t expect the officials to catch everything that becomes obvious on instant replay. I do think we should stop openning the second half with a fumble near our goal line.

And it wasn’t just Milner; Moosa dropped a slant pass at the goal line because, as the announcer said, he “heard the hooves” of a defensive back.

We can be proud of this defense; they stayed in the game and kept a good offense scoreless for the second half. Matt did OK; his supporting cast was less that stellar. Bill, you want more Lumkin; me, I want more Southerland.

By Bulldog Bry

October 28, 2006 08:47 PM | Link to this

As much as I chastised the fans for booing MoMass, I’ll admit that I was booing Milner from the endzone today. Are Chandler or Watson just not ready? This was big boy football today and he was not a big boy. Over it - sorry, but I do feel better about beating Tech and Auburn after today. A loss is a loss, but we got better today.

Conyers Dawg, What game were you watching? Yeah, the Dawgs defense did much better in the second half, especially against Tebow. But their tackling was pretty awful all during the game. We were constantly sliding off Gators players. And our kick coverage, well, more about that tomorrow, but suffice it to say tackling was a definite weakness. So if I give credit to Martinez for Georgia running a better scheme this time, I also have to blame him for our continued poor tackling.

Hasn’t WM realized that our front 4 cannot put pressure on the opposing QB and that our corners cannot play man to man? I’m no coach, but I think that is when you start coming up with different schemes to try and confuse your opponents and make up for your players’ weaknesses.

When will coach MR just give up and hire an imaginative offensive coordinator to help with the play calling?

The game was a lot closer than it should have been, Florida just outplayed Georgia, bad calls and all.

At least Stafford got the experience of being in a big game and he will be better prepared for it in the future. Just play the young kids and call it a season. Let them get some experience. Bench the ball dropping Martrez and put Tripp Chandler in there, bench MoMass as well. The guy is afraid of getting hit. It’s not his first time he’s dropped a pass when knowning he’s about to take a big hit from a DB. We need kids with heart and talent. Not some parade all american who won’t make the tough catch when his team needs him to.

Have to give Flordia a lot of credit, they will be the SEC East champs most likely this year and Georgia, well it’s back to the drawing board. Evaluate the goals for the year and play to get better for next season.

Hmmm, this crow tastes just like chicken, could do without the feathers getting caught in my throat. Gotta admit, even without zebra’s, Florida played better and they won the game because of that, even getting shut down in the second half, they did what it took to preserve the win they started in the first half. Next years matchup of T-bow and Stafford should be awesome. I hope my medical problems are out of the way and I can attend that game.

WM put in a pretty good defensive package that kept us in the game. As one who has critisized CWM in the past, I applaud him for the planning involved in this effort. Except for that getting burned pass play for the touchdown, our defence hung in their and played up to the name of Junkyard Dawgs. No I am not claiming a moral victory, but when you see something right, it should be recognized.

Offence, improving. Yes Milner dropped quite a few on the numbers passes. Yes Momass dropped one or two also. But there were times that our gunslinger put too much or not enough on the ball also. It looked to me about 50-50 between mis-throws and drops. Stafford will only get better, I hope our receiving corps does also. The running game was about what I expected. Another key play turns on a fumbel. Bill I said leading up to the game we got to get our playmaker Southerland the ball more often. Put him in at the tail and see if he can get a few yards by brute force when he hits the line. My recollection is that Veron Haynes was a fullback before he became a tailback.

Yes like everyone else wearing red and black, I would have rather had the win. Due to my medical condition, I would not have danced in the streets, but I would have paid a substitute to do it for me. I do see improvement and lets take it to the Wildcats and see if we can’t put it all together by the time of the Auburn game.

As always, win, lose or bye week, GO DAWGS!!

Good news Fans of Chan, looks like your man just pulled into the lead for the Miami job as his audition was impressive against his future employer. Let’s face it: Coker is toast!

As if UF needed any help in this game, can anyone get any luckier than Florida?!! They seemed to get every bounce on fumbles (ours and theirs), every call went their way, even the obvious (blatant is appropriate, Bill), and almost every ball that hit an open receiver bounced to the ground.

I have never been a believer in moral victories, there is no excuse for losing to the gators. Florida is not that good, but they must be living right. Their crucial games in the last month were anything but impressive, but, alas, they probably deserve the East this year. I, too, can see why UF is the most penalized team around, but the bad calls and no-calls were killers!

Stafford won the battle of the Fab Frosh hands down: Tebow didn’t play as much as I thought he would but his untimely fumble at his end of the field was a HUGE momentum shifter. Stafford showed improvement, but his second pick was gawd awful. The gator DB who caught the INT was not even close to his triple-covered target. Nevertheless, it was valuable experience that will surely help us down the road, maybe sooner than most think.

2 guys that should not see the field the rest of the year are Milner and Stafford. How many dropped passes do we have to see from our underachieving TE? And how many truly back-breaking passes must we see from our QB? It seemed to me he was more concerned with his John Cena impression (“you can’t see me”) after his touchdown (which brought us back to within 14) than he was in actually playing and winning a big ballgame. I also must say that when our DB’s decide to fially stand up and be counted on to make a good play, then they can jabber all they want to. Making a tackle when trailing 21-0 is not the best time to talk smack.

IF the gnats make it to the ACC game, they’ll lose. Either BC or Clemson will shut them down. Furthermore, gnats shouldn’t run their mouth so quickly. Nov 25th looms ahead.

But to the point of this blog, certainly dropped balls and turnovers are key to today’s lost - however, the refs took away any chance of a comeback with pathetic calls and non-calls.

Hey, all you whining pussies in Dawgland: there were bad calls everywhere today;— no doubt. I’ll be the first to admit it. Remember the Gators’ punt-return for a TD called back for a phantom, bull-s** “block in the back”? How many times do you think Florida’s front four were held on obvious passing downs? There are always plenty of bad calls to go around.

The fact remains that since the year after WWII ended, the Gators have 33 wins to the Dawgs’ 27 in this series and have now won 15 of the last 17. Ask anyone outside of Dawggie-ville who owns this series now.

Unless you are more than 70 years old and started watching this rivalry when you were in diapers, it is impossible to remember the Gators not being equal or superior to Georgia in football. And unless your “elite recruits” start showing up to play football in the fall, you better get used to driving home with another loss more times than not.

Good luck in the INbredBOWL.

I have to give the Dawgs credit today for not folding the tents as many teams would have after the Lumpkin fumble. The Dawgs fought hard and showed a lot of heart today.

I was pleased to see that Martinez is at least realizing the stupid cover 2 zone doesn’t work and we actually ran some blitz packages today. That is the key with Leak, get in his face and he melts down (which is what happened). Still need to work on the tackling.

MoMAss needs to get a good LONG dose of bench time until he learns to quit shortarming the ball. Take a hit for the team boy! As far a Martrez butterfingers goes, give him a box seat in the stands next to Fred Gibson and they can compare notes on all the Florida games they lost between them. I would be happy to not even see #87 on the field one more time in a GA uniform.

I was pleased with Stafford today. yes he made a couple bonehead Frosh plays, but I think the second half may have been his coming out party. He has a huge game in him, and I feel that Auburn or Tech may be the recipient of Matt’s “Hello NCAA I have arrived” message.

Screw getting the blue chip QB’s & WR’s. Get an offensive line capable of blocking, and more opportunities will open up. I think UGA’a recievers coach needs to start letting the guys catch the tennis balls with a DB coming to hit them. These are the most gunshy bunch of gutless wonders I have ever seen. I keep hearing “Wait til next year.” Well I got news for all of you…without a new offensive coordinator, some adequate offensive lineman, a rapid maturation of Matt Stafford, and some wide recievers who can play like they’ve got a set, prepare for another year of mediocre football.

Hey DAWGBONE,

My guess is that Tebow is gonna spend half of the game next year watching the Gators’ defense rip your O-line and QB a new-a*****. He’ll watch your WR’s drop a few balls and duck to avoid being hit coming across the middle, and then he’ll watch you punt the ball 6 to 8 times on 3-and-outs.

Then, he’ll take the field and do what the previous 5 Gator QB’s have done and that is march the offense right down the field against your 11 pussies on defense and score early and often.

The results will be the same as they’ve been since 1990.

Any more questions?

Bird I agree except I really enjoy calling Carter an ignorant slut. I would not take a Chris Leak on him if he was on fire.

Damon Evans said he just wanted people to see what a great rivalry it is between two fine institutions. What a nimrod. For it to be rivalry, we have to win more than twice in the last ten years. I guess Florida considers their rivalry to be FSU and TN. Ours has turned in to TN, Auburn and Tech even if we beat Tech like FLA beats us, it is in-state so it is still a rivalry.

I do have to say that a lot of O Line recruits are needed. The fumble by Lumpkin wouldn’t have happened if he had gotten a chance to take ONE step and get the ball tucked away, before getting hammered from behind. I like the way he’s playing, and don’t mind seeing Ware on the field, as long as it’s not at the expenses of Lump or Brannan. They, and Stafford are our bright spots right now. And I also agree with many; Why IS Milner still playing? I was a receiver in HS, and only got playing time on Special Teams. The reason was I couldn’t catch worth a crap. (my coach said I ran the crispest routes, though; for whatever little that was worth) Maybe Milner needs to see how well he can cover kickoffs…

I didn’t see very many bad calls. Maybe I was just too stunned at all the flags UF WAS getting. I will say we got screwed on the “incidental” facemask at the end. I looked in Websters online, but I didn’t see anywhere where “imaginary” means the same as “incidental.” Isn’t a facemask penalty called when a facemask is grabbed, not just brushed with the back of the hand as it’s grabbing the shoulderpads? I didn’t think we played well enough to deserve a hail mary chance to tie it up, though, so I only screamed at the TV for the principle of the matter…

U know what all of you people on here fussing and crying saying that we are never going to beat Flordia, need to just shut up and get off this blog. I just had to read all of the crap that Carter wrote and started to read what Schultz had to say, but after this game it is more clear than ever that the AJC just loves to bash the bulldogs. Georgia Tech didn’t have this much bad stuff written about them when they lost to Duke. The bottom line is all I heard all week is about how we were going to get killed, and how WM didn’t know what he is doing. Guess what folks, we didn’t get killed and WM had one of the best game plans that he has ever had. Shutting down both gator quaterbacks in the process. I saw a team come together today and play like one unit for the first time all season. I saw the birth of the next SEC superstar. I saw a team so down on themselves after listening to the media and fans comeout and play with more heart desire than anyone thought possible. I saw a team come with in a ticky tack foul call from getting a chance to tie a game they had no business winning. (by the way the face mask call was techincally right, but hands down the most ticky tac call I have ever seen) The bottomline is we had so many postives comeout of this game, and sure a win of over those hated gators would have been one for the ages. However, sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you want them, and I feel like this loss might be the best thing that happpens to this program this year, because with the things we have found this week we will winout and beat Kentucky, Auburn, and Tech. I can promise you that.

I have never seen so many childish comments on one blog EVER! If you are UF fans then you have the right to talk smack but act like adults!! I realize the majority of the trash buildup here is by Tech fans, showing their familiar reckless abandon, but how has Tech fared against us in the Richt era?!!!!!

I have a message for you “Trekkies”, once your current record against the dogs this century goes to 0-6, then we can expect to hear the all familiar whining that usually comes around the end of November.

We all know that a Tech season is considered a success with a rare win over UGA whether you finish last in the ACC or not! My question here is: How would you consider your season if you win your ACC division and lose to Georgia in a “down” year for UGA?

I guess we’ll find the answer to that question in a few weeks!!!!!!

Hey fellow dawg fans….a moral victory is a LOSS…get that through your thick skulls! Our receivers are terrible and our much balley hooed QB’s are shams. Tebow and Mustain are real stars ALREADY and all we can say is ours are young. Puhleez! Auburn and Tech are going to kick us around and I am worried about KY now. Tech showed heart today and came back and WON for god’s sake…we supposedly have heart and still LOSE. I hate to say it, but I think Chan Gailey is a better game day coach..and look what he has done with recruiting classes far worse (or supposed to be worse) than ours. We can crap all over Reggie Ball..but he showed true grit while playing hurt. Tech is going to kick us around in Athens and it is going to make me sick. And watching them actually win in Jacksonville later this year and go to the Freakin Orange Bowl is a nightmare UGa fans don’t want to see. I say…MR take that Miami job and take some of our pitiful players with you. I think George O’Leary might be available at the end of the season…I say hire him.

tradition seems huge at UGA, UGA said they keep playing in Jacksonville to thank the South Georgia Bulldogs for their support. If tradition is so big why not go back to the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s where Georgia would fly in to Jacksonville Airport and bus to the Gator Bowl and do a 1 hour walk around. Now they fly in to St. Augustine, which makes if tough for us South Georgia fans to greet the team like the old days. I think superstition is now at UGA not tradition. Superstition is a belief based on fear. Georgia now fly’s to St. Augustine to change it’s luck.

I think the effort was there but the coaching still leaves much be to be desired. Astonishingly Martinez made a difference in the second half for us but he will never be the championchip calibur DC that we need. We dropped balls and thats not the work of bad hands. Its a psychological bug that coach Eason has not worked out. Our offensive line has really never developed this season and this too is coaching. I hope that this game does not give us any hope. The thing I hate to hear is that the talent is not what it was. That is a tell tale sign that someone doesnt know what they are talking about. Changes have got to be made in this coaching staff. My fear is that CMR has become to chummy with his assistants and will not make any moves. If thats the case then maybe its time for Richt to start thinking about FSU.

C’mon fellow Dawgs, sure it was a tough one to lose, but after the way we played the prior two weeks it could’ve been much worse.

GAME BALL - the game ball has to go to Tony Taylor. Key interception, several great tackles, and a forced fumble that made Meyer think hard about running up the middle again.

DEFENSE - nice game overall, still need to get better with our tackles. Linebacker play was much improved. Tra Battle must play better against Auburn or it could get ugly.

OFFENSE - was pleased with Stafford’s play, but he’s got to learn to throw it away. Sure he had a couple of pics, but if the receivers could just catch the darn thing, he probably wouldn’t have had to force those throws. Martrez needs to figure out what the heck is going on, we need him in there.

GATORS - bottomline is that you’re not as good as you think you are. Yes you beat our guys, but you have to admit we gave you a lotta freebies in this one and the refs helped too. With Vandy and SC coming up, you better not be looking ahead to the SEC or Fat Phil may be the one representing the east.

Let’s be sure to stay behind the team and coaches, we have a good chance to finish the season strong.

Being a fanatical Tennessee Fan, I hate them damn gators!!!! The Vols win again!!!! I have no biest in this blog room, so let me start out by saying that Georgia, I was pulling for you all the way in this game. We needed you to pull the upset in order to knock the gators down a notch in the standings for the SEC Championship. If you are any self recpecting georgia fan you should want any other team besides the gators to play in the dome at the end of the year. Now the Vol Nation will have to rely on the Cocks to pull an upset against the Gators. How many of us actually think this is going to happen? Anyways good game yesterday dawgs. It is hard to win a game with 5 turnovers, but you still kept it close. I know the pucker factor of every gator fan was incrediable. Just remember when you play the Gators you also have to play the officials.

Another statement I would like to make is about all of these fair weathered, bandwagon, and sorry excuse GT fans who think they have a team. Lets just think about this one for a moment. GT fans, if you think you have a good team and talking all kinds of thrash to uga fans you are crazy!!!! What makes you think you have a good team? lets see, yes you do have 2 losses one to ND by 4, and you got throttled by clemson. Those are the only 2 teams you have played worth a s*. All of the other teams i.e Miami, who is unranked and horrible, VT, who is having a down year and is OH Wait UNRANKED! So I dont want to hear anything from GT fans, you all need to keep your pie holes shut until you can actually sell out your pathetic excuse for a stadium. Another thing GT fans if you think you are so good and that you are world beaters, let me ask you this question. Why did you leave the SEC? Thought you werent good enough to win in the best conference in the nation? PATHETIC!!!

I give credit where credit is due. Good job to the FL coaching staff and players. Did what they needed to. Reality Check, you receive none for your class-less chatter. Talk to me about class a bit more. Hope you continue to enjoy living in GEORGIA. I understand, Atlanta is a financial hub of the south that houses the likes of Gators, VOLS and Tigers of all creeds alike. Try to make that bank in your own state and see what happens.

Forget about the officiating, it balances itself out. With that said, here are the reasons for a tough to take loss to the Gators. 1- 5/2 turnover ratio. You cannot and will not ever win with that ratio. 2- Florida has got an inexplicable mental edge in this recent series. That is temporary. 3- Conservative play calling…..Again! Open up that playbook in the first half and get away form the sprint draw in the shotgun. Way too much time to shape up. 4- The dropped passes have got to stop. Our guys have got take that hit and get up smiling.

Florida has not scored an offensive TD on the Dawgs in 2 years. Bring that same intensity in the first half and we’re talking to the shrink about a whole other set of issues. The pup-dawgs grow a pair in the off season and we come back to our prowess in ‘07-‘09. GO DAWGS.

Hey WALKER,

So you claim that “…Florida has not scored an offensive TD on the Dawgs in 2 years…”? Apparently, you missed the first and second quarters in 2005 and 2006. Your credibility is zero.

It is no coincidence that UGA’s and Richt’s “emergence” in the SEC East happened during the very same time period that UT let Cutcliffe get away and UF hired a head coach even worse than Ray Goof. Under Zook, the Gators became soft on the D-line and the O-line got manhandled by pro-caliber tackles and ends. Whatever toughness they had under Spurrier quickly disappeared. They also invented new ways, each week, to give games away.

Those days are gone. UT and UF are back to 90’s form and UGA better get used to it. The advantage the Gators have over the Dawgs in recruiting, in coaching, and in skill position players is not temporary.

Take care WALKER. See you next year.

Put away all the sharp objects. Some of you sound like you’re about to commit hari-kari. It’s football, folks. You have ups. You have downs.

Starting a freshman QB… and he’s getting slammed? Gimme a break.

Can’t beat Florida. Haven’t consistently done that in years. Don’t do something stupid. Donnan, nor Goff, nor Dooley did it, if you want to know the truth.

This program is a middle of the pack program and has been for years. At least Richt didn’t commit the fatal, “best team ever” gaffe this year. You remember, the same one that led to Donnan’s demise.

Just sit back and wait ‘til next year.

Hey A Nole.. I hear what you’re saying, but have you not seen that the head of the FSU Booster club is trying to get Bobby to retire? I think its crap as well, but in case you didn’t know, there is a very vocal contingent in Seminole land calling for Bobby to be ousted / step down. FSU is in the same boat we are this year. A LOT of freshman and first timers on the squad. Bobby will get the team back up where it should be again.

Other than Dawg fans, what other “proud” football fans would call only getting beat by a bitter rival, again, for like the 15th time in 17 years, by “only a touchdown” a good game, “somthing to build on”?

I watched this delusional mob of fans make excuses and rationalize away hard realities every year since H. Walker’s departure. This may be the best, though.

TO: Grantland Rice. Thanks for your diagnosis of dilusion. I agree. Athens is well know as 15 square miles surrounded by reality. Now we will hear the old recruiting mantra that we can recruit our way out of this thing and UGA will sign all top 10 Super-Prep kids and probably bring Lynn Swan and Joe Montana out of retirement. But the results will be the same.

It’s just a terrible year for Doggys everywhere and get used to the misery. Please, Ladies and Gents save the Dawwgy style excuses for the boudwa.

I am officially embarassed by the column. You have lowered yourself to Spurrier levels by blaming the officials.

This is not the same team as the past 4-5 years. Jesus people. Any one who thought that this team this year was going to compete for a National Title has his or her head so far up Matt Stafford’s rear it’s not even funny. Every team goes through a down year. We are still bowl eligible, but just like fans in the Atlanta area, you only want to back a winner. If you want to be that much of a bandwagon fan, I hear GT is looking for some people.

And I don’t give a rat’s patooie how much you claim the taxpayers are paying for anyone on that field’s education, you still shouldn’t boo a college player during a game, it’s embarassing. If you are so concerned about the money the taxpayers are paying for his education, then you should be booing his grades, because isn’t THAT the important thing?

Yes, there were bad calls. The fumble early in the 3rd quarter really did not help. The Fla Defensive front caused that fumble because a Gator was in the backfield. Who got beat on the Ga offensive line that play? There were at least two other times Kregg Lumpkin got stuffed for a loss and there were three UGA linemen standing around with their arms hanging down blocking NO ONE!!!

I’ve heard about total domination of a series, but I think this is the most lopsided ever. Does anyone know if there was ever a period of time when a Texas-Ok or a Ohio St-Michigan series got this out of control? 2-15 in 17 years! This series record in the past 20 years resembles the Miami-Duke series record during the same time period. Vandy has beaten UGA more times in the past 17 years than UGA has beaten UF.

That face mask call with 2:20 left killed our chances. Sad part is that it wasn’t even a face mask. The refs are pathetic. I would have liked to have seen if we could have tied it up (would have had the ball at least at the 50 yard line with 2:00 left). Turnovers was the big difference. I was listening to the 1st half on the radio (14-0 at the half) then I got home and turned the TV on and it was 21-7. That fumble killed us.

This series can be saved. Key steps: 1. Move the game to Atlanta. Athens has proven to be an advantage to visiting teams 2. Require Florida to schedule a Thursday game immediately following the UGA game. 3. Allow only the 4th quarter score to count. Everyone knows that UGA has never been able to play four quarters. 4. Allow the team that has the most recruits rated in Super-Prep top 10 to have a touchdown advantage. UGA wins that one every year.

Just in from Oxford, Auburn played so-so, still have some problems to work out, but we are winning(8-1)and hoping Gen Neyland can Knocks off Ark. If Auburn wins out regardless of winning West we could play in a BCS game, team At-large bid. I sat in the Letterman lounge(exchange deal)heard several different comments from former Ole Miss players referring to UGA. They are surprised about recruiting process at UGA with 4 top 5 classes in the country, rebuilting instead of reloading , why CMR cannot win the big SEC games and last no WR`s. I defending the dawgs on the second one, but I wonder about the recruiting process myself as posted before. I saw part of UGA game, not enough to make comment, but THANKS Dawgs I would my bet UGA + 14.

I’m proud to be a Bulldawg. The facts: UGA’s senior class is lacking. The young dawgs are developing and improving. The future looks great. We will make a run at the SEC title next year and the national title in following year. Stafford out played Tebow and that will continue for three more years. We need to make changes in terms of the following: We need a new OL coach. I fail to see techiques or advanced schemes. Willie Martinez is not aggressive enough. You cannot back into coverage and rush four. We need to move to a 3-4 front. Weston SDE, Owens NT, Johnson (if he returns) or Atkins at WDE, Miller and Ellerbe at OLBs, Washington and Dewberry at ILB. That is a much quicker defense than what we have now. Coach Richt needs to give up the play calling to Coach Bobo. Solutions: recruit Will Muschamp back to UGA to serve as coordinator. Recruit Hugh Nall to coach OL. Hire a new WR’s coach because these kids aren’t developing. Where is Andre Hastings? For the rest of this year, I would spread the offense to a 4 receiver set. Move Mr. Milner to the bench. Get the ball to Henderson in open space. For the defense, start some traditions. Call Sanford Stadium the DAWG PEN. Call the fans the RABID DAWGS. Call the defensive line the ATTACK DAWGS. Refer to red zone as the junkyard. Have the defensive players point at the 20 and shake their heads no to signify that they will not allow people to enter the junkyard without paying the price. We need more spirit and emotions. Coach Richt, what about a reverse with Henderson or a flee flicker. Unleash the DAWGS.

You know I get so tired of people blaming everyone and not looking at the whole picture. We just arent that good this year. We have awesome talent, great gameplans, but we just never put the two together. I believe if we stuck with Stafford all year we would be alot better off. Bench Milner and Mo and our D line except Johnson and get us ready for next year. If we work together we can still win out and put a serious hurtin on the yellow bugs and shut their fair weather fans up. Also I hope that this season runs our fair weather fans off for good cause I get sick of hearing yea for us when its good and screw us when its bad. I can speak for myself when I say Bulldawg football is the only football that matters whether its a undefeated season or a winless one.

If memory serves me correct he won the 2005 SEC Championship game against a highly favored LSU. We are playing with a freshman QB and we are rebuilding.

Come on, Bill??? Blaming the officials??? We lost because we turned the ball over FIVE times, gave up FOUR sacks and dropped more passes than we caught. I expect the freshman to throw two picks a game this season. Thats what happens when you start a freshman at QB in the SEC and I agree with starting him.

The fact is, we showed no emotion, no confidence and no heart in this game until Florida tried to give it away. Then and only then did we play with fire.

Our front seven on defense is just not very tough. The exceptions are Taylor and Johnson. For the 3rd time this season when we needed a stop, we couldn’t come up with one. Maybe it’s the scheme, but the players have to execute and in this game they didn’t. Period.

The officiating in a bunch of games was really bad. I saw a pass inteference called aginst Tenn. (vs. SC) and the DB never even touched the receiver. The receiver bumped into him. I think ANY call should be reviewable. There should be a referee watching the game with the tv sportscasters and he could radio the refs on the field about questionable calls that need revewing. The refs should never be the difference in a game. By the way, have you noticed that on questionable calls reviewed that the result is whatever the sportscasters say it was ? Its like they (tv announcers) make the call for the refs…

Wouldn’t it be nice if the game really was lost because of that questionable face mask call.

First half of the game our defense had poor tackling AGAIN. Better and those 14 points wouldn’t have been there now would they?

Our offense was non-existent in the first half. Check the stats and you’ll see when it was we finally crossed mid-field.

5 turnovers!!!

No doubt about it that our defense showed fire in the 2d half. We shut the UF offense score machine completely off.

But what was the monster in the 2d half? Critical dropped passes and turnovers. Sound familiar? WTF is wrong with our receivers? You can’t tell me they are that bad. I still say it’s poor receivers coach.

if we don’t make some serious personnel changes after the season, next year will be no different. We need a new receivers coach, defensive coach, offensive coach.

Our Dawgs got “HOSED” and Mark Richt should be complaining to the SEC. Phantom pass interference on 3rd down on Florida’s first drive, phantom face mask on Moses both of which gave Florida first downs and allowed them to score and/or to run out the clock. Three obvious pass interference/defensive holding calls that weren’t called on Florida. At least four personal fouls/unsportsmanlike conduct calls that weren’t called on Florida one of which occured on that last interception inside Florida’s ten yard line. But with all this said, we had five turnovers vs. Florida’s two and we still had a chance to win. Quite a few of you so called Dawg fans were prediting we would lose by 30, 40 or more points and just like when we beat Ole Miss by one point it was said that “a win is a win”, well a loss is a loss and never feels good. I do believe this team showed some character after the Lumpkin fumble and subsequent FL TD giving them a 21-0 lead, this team could have folded but they didn’t and they searched inside themselves and outplayed/manhandled the Gators the rest of the game.

Never seen a group of receivers and a tightend that are so awful. Why is Martez Milner even on the field at this point? I think he has dropped more passes than he has caught. Receivers give up on their routes and don’t even go after the ball when a defender is near them. Maybe flag football would be more appropriate for them. This dropping passes has been a theme every year since Richt arrived. What is the deal. This offense is far from being good how many drives have been stopped this year because of dropped balls. How many field goals has Georgia had to kick because of dropped balls. Stafford is not to blame. He is inexperienced and learning. This playing time will benefit him come next year. Add the 5 drops to his stats and suddenly he had a decent game and Georgia has a chance to win. Defense looked good after the first drive so I finally have to give Martinez some credit. No sacks but plenty of pressure on Leak and Tebow a non-factor. A phantom interference and face mask call at the end but those calls didn’t decide the game. The georgia receivers gave the game away.

Stafford was great in high school, but he isn’t an SEC calibur quarterback since he can’t handle pressure. Let’s hope that Bobby Bowden will retire and Richt will go back to FSU so we can finally get a decent offensive coordinator and will recruit players who can spell so they can actually make it into school instead of going to military school and then off to Auburn.

funny stat for all those Puppie fans who used to rag Reggie Ball about interceptions….in Reggie’s Freshman year, he threw 10 touchdowns with 11 interceptions in 13 games played. In Matthew Stafford’s Freshman year, he has thrown 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 9 games played (4 of which he wasn’t even playing the full game). You guys are nuts if you think he will have a better year next year. The Dawgs are losing a few on the offensive line which will lead to hurried throws and an increase in sacks, your team will still not have any receivers worth a crap, and the defense will lose many players thereby allowing others to score, UGA will have to play from behind, and put it in the air more and greater chances for interceptions with an strong, but inaccurate passer. You can write back all you want that I may not know what I’m talking about. Just a reminder, I have been correct on most of my predictions involving UGA and GT. I almost nailed everything you guys screwed up on last year, even W VA game. I was on the money this year, even called the loss to Vanderbilt (check the blogs). The only thing I missed was I thought GT would win vs UGA last year and I thought GT would roll against Utah (bad miss on that). Prediction for rest of year: GT wins out, even at UGA. UGA wins at Kentucky (barely), loses to Auburn and GT.

Next year, GT will have problems with QB situation and drops back to 6 or 7 wins. UGA will actually drop to 6 wins next year. Have fun kids!

AJC= wannbe newspaper. They constantly love to rip the Dawgs because most of their beat writers and columnists are from other necks-o-the-woods who have a natural bias towards the SEC in general and UGA specifically. Who needs them? I NEVER buy the paper, don’t suscribe, and ignore the ads on their website. If they decide to pull the plug on free online access; boo hoo. Go ahead; I DARE you. That way, NO ONE will read your drivel. Strickland and Schultz, etc. lack true journalistic talent and imagination.
As for the Tech, UF and UT bloggers who love to pill it on when things are not going the ‘Dawgs way, you only show your true colors (envy). You only WISH UGA would slink into medioctrity. “Ain’t gonna happen.” We’re not even one year removed from an SEC championship and you’d think UGA was a true middle-of-the-pack SEC team. Maybe we’re not top-drawer this year but again, that’s FAR from your dreams buds! If I were fans of those schools, I’d be thankful for this year and hush up about it. Tennessee? My friends to the north, as bad as it’s looked for UGA this year, we’re still one win above what the Vols were last year. And we’re going to go back to the 90s? Ha! So UT is one coordinator away from medioctrity? Apparently so. Better hope “Coach Cut” doesn’t go to the ACC. UF, enjoy it but TRY to exhibit just a modicum of class. I know: tall order. Perhaps impossible. Probably so. Before 90, UF never had championships, then had a consistent winner on the field, conference titles, and even one NC. But class eludes them even now. Like Sprite and caffeine: UF and class—never had it, never will. Lastly our delusional neighbors wearing p**-yellow. How delusional can you be? Just HOPE your team can beat UGA at LEAST once while they’re down a bit. UGA has a healthy overall lead in it’s series with ‘Tech—not to mention lately with Coach Richt. You are BY FAR the last people who should run your mouths. That of course, is the best evidence against you—aside from ‘Tech’s pathetic record vs. Richt and his ‘Dawgs. One last toss: our buddies from AU. There is one blogger from GA who pulls for AU who’s always referring to GA as a mediocre program, etc. What does that make AU? Count the NCs, conference championships and overall wins for each school—not to mention the very close all-time series record and all-time series score. Check it out: the media regularly highlights it when the schools play. If UGA is mediocre, then AU is really rather bland indeed. So you have to pick on the UGA/AU record in one small period of time? Figures lie, and liers figure.

Reality Check…..

I just read where you said UGA had had only 1 win vs. a top 10 team since he was in Athens. Let me do you a favor and add them up for you. 2001 @ Tenn, 2002 vs. Tenn,@ Aub and vs. FSU, 2004 vs. LSU, 2005 vs. LSU. All of those were teams that finished the season in the top 10. I could also count bama in ‘02 and UF in ‘04 when both teams were in the top 10 at the start of the year. Seems like a lot more than 1 to me.

Bench Milner and Stafford, and lets have more than 6 scholarship OL on the roster for the ‘07 edition of the Dawgs.

Hey, Alt.

No mention that the fumble and touchdown that put us down 21-0 came on the sprint draw?

You know, we were playing the most penalized team in the country and for some reason, Georgia had more penalty yards than florida. Even so, it was not that the refs weren’t fair…it was that they blew the calls when it hurt Georgia the most. Yes we have five turnovers. But if the Refs make bad calls or no calls…drive killers…when you really need to score…I’d say that had a huge impact on the outcome of the game. Florida held our pass rushers all day long. Some were so obvious you could see it without a replay on my little 27 inch TV.

QUESTION: Why are GT, Auburn, and Gator fans visiting UGA blog sites? Gator fans have earned the right to brag. What can GT fans be bragging about? The last time your team defeated UGA, you were playing with ineligible players. Yelp, cheating. Why are all these fans using profanity and venting anger? Maybe some of you need to develop a life. Living on blogs and talking trash via the computer is not empowering. Folks it is just a game. UGA will be fine. We have lost a great deal of talent to the NFL the last couple of years. The senior class is lacking. We are reloading for the future. Our young talent is awesome. Why all the fuss?

I don’t understand people seeming to think the performance of this team is acceptable, saying it’s a rebuilding year. Auburn lost four first round draft picks after 2004 and they only lost one SEC game the following year. We should be able to reload faster than Auburn, this is pathetic.

For you all Gaytors, Tebow sucks big time and this game will hit his psychology for the next 3 years, mark it down Georgia will beat Florida next year and they will win The SEC. Tebow was put in his place by the dawgs, as GA fan I was hoping the cryer to use Tebow kid again. To the bulldog nation you shouldnt worry about Georgia, they are fine. I hope if coach MR can use Lumpkin more, he is a fine RB. Anyway, the Gaytors were lucky and we handed this game to them,believe me the gaytors know they are extremely lucky to have one loss. Go dawgs

I am proud of my Dogs! We have more character and more class than the Gayboys will EVER HAVE! We have more SEC Championships, more national titles, and better all around people than these LOSER Gaysuckers! There is a thing called winning and losing with class. Our fans are classy, and the Gays are LOSERS! Gaytors are such crybabies when they lose, and F.Y.I. U-F*, that WAS A FUMBLE in the Auburn game.

Dawg fans, you should have anticipated this blog would be loaded with lizard fans after another loss to them. Let’s face it, they beat our team consistently and still can’t win a championship! You know that’s gotta hurt. Auburn kicked their butts and you know the ole ball coach, now that he found his real quarterback, will drain their swamp again this year. This is only temporary.

I don’t know why the Tekkies are here; the Science Fiction channel is 24/7. Maybe Atlanta’s cable service went down for a few hours.

Have faith DAWG FANS, MR will recruit a few Texas HS receivers and we’ll be fine.

Coach Mark Played at maimi and i am sure they will work you in. You can actuall start with a real game before 5 weeks into a season????? You had an easy season with only 3 games/ Tenn. Fla. & Auburn so only 3 big L’s you already have 3 Big L’s with Auburn & Ga. Tech coming all over your fuzzy butt.

Tech has played the toughest football schedule of any Division I-A team in the nation, based on opponents’ records in Division I-A games. The Yellow Jackets’ opponents have won 69.6 percent of their games, a shade better than the 69.1 percent Florida’s opponents have won, according to NCAA statistics.

But Tech’s remaining schedule — at N.C. State, at North Carolina, against Duke, at Georgia — ranks fifth easiest among the nation’s 119 Division I-A teams. Duke and North Carolina are winless against Division I-A opposition, and the four teams have combined to win just 24.1 percent of their I-A games.Damn if we didn’t have to play Duke and uga we probably would have ended up with the toughest schedule.

Mike T it is the fact you have an easy 6-7 win schedual every year. 3 puddings, USC(usually bad), pick a Miss., Vandy, Kentucky, and as you said a bad Ga. Tech. There are 6-8 easy wins every year with average athletes right or wrong? We picked-up a Notre Dame, Auburn, we added Bama.

Hey Tech fans claiming you beat last years SEC champs. Get a clue, it was not Auburn who were SEC champs, it was the same team that beat you last year, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before. Dang I am repeating myself.

If you had not used ineligible players we would not have lost in fifteen years. I love how everyone who hates the Dawgs start at a year that makes their team look like they are kicking rears. Tech and Florida use 1990. I like to use more current years, say this century.

Florida, gotta give you your props, we have the SEC championships in this century, but you have the head to head wins. You outplayed us five of six. No whining here, you won, nuff said.

Tech, you still have not won with your Helen Keller miracle worker, Mr. Reggie Ball. And untill you do, your smack sounds like the whiny punks who got their lunch money stolen in middle school. I think you Bugs need to concentrate on finishing the drill and worry about us after you eat your Turkey dinner. I have been saying Hail Marys, sacrificed a small animal, and found three four leaf clovers so you would be the ACC champs for your division before you play us. Get on that mountain. It is a long way down to the valley.

What is the difference between Georgia and Georgia Tech? Well besides class, the answer is Tech gets one good season in five, we get one bad season in five. Enjoy the ride Tech, Thanksgiviving is coming and for the annual beat down, we Dawgs give thanks.

I was sitting on the 20-yard line with an all-too clear view of Mr. Lumpkin’s gaffe. Despite our fans up and roaring for the start of the second half, I was seated, head in hands, before the ball hit the ground. I didn’t need to watch to know what was going to happen next. 21-0. Ballgame. Losing in Jacksonville never gets easy, despite all the practice we’ve had.

MR when you are at 10 yard line neverever run laterally must be a straight forward. When a defensive man came at you at a 90 degree angle, 75% of the time he will slap the ball away. This the most volnerable angle of attack. It is the basic physics (+common sense). Try not to do again next time please!!.And get rid of Martinez while you are there.The defense is getting better, but it is not directly proportional to our talents. Be patient with Stafford, he is a special breed. I know we are all kicking ourselves that we should have had him experienced the SEC games from day one. //You are only hope to bring us the NC soon.//We are standing by you all the way.

Yes, this has been a bad year; but you ought to live here if you think its bad there, Hog fans are hard to live with since we beat them the last few games. We need an off cordinator, and a defenseive coach. Take a hint from Fulmer. Play calling is predictable and unimaginative. Everybody in the country knew we would run the fullback for the first down. And why in the world would you run a fade route on the two on first down? Our problems have to be laid at the coach’s feet, just as the wins are.Mark will not get an accadamy award for his movie acting, playing a coach, that’s not very good either.
