When it comes to our biggest rivals (Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, & Tech), it depends upon how the question is asked.

Which team would you most like to beat?

Which team would you least like to lose to?

I happen to answer Tech to both; however, I feel as if I am in the minority. I think most Georgia fans would most like to beat Florida but would least like to lose to Tech.

All that matters right now are the Bugs.

Beat the Bugs, and this season has a silver lining.

Bill, you have yet to comment on the fact that Mark Richt has come out and said that both Willie Moron and John Eason will be back next year, no matter what, although neither one has earned that status.

If Richt refuses to do what is right for this team and fire those two horrible coaches, do you think that Adams’ Puppet will step in, or Adams himself will step in and have those two fired?

Or do you think enough of the big-time boosters will get together and make it happen?

Because Mark Richt won’t make this happen. And since he’s been here, John Eason’s been the recievers coach, and since Eason’s been the recievers coach, our recievers have never been clutch, never been consistant, and never lived up to their potential. How can you blame that on the players when Eason is the only constant? And Willie Moron is overmatched. He’s clueless. He’s Ed Donatell. And he needs to go, ASAFP.

So, do you see outside forces forcing Richt’s hand for the good of the team because he is so blinded by loyalty?

And do you see those outside forces finally forcing Richt to give up playcalling, which he has been incredibly inept at the last three seasons or so?

Because someone or someones needs to force Richt’s hand in all of those matters. He is so blinded by loyalty, it’s insane. Like Mora sticking with Webster every freaking Sunday.

Team you most wanna beat is Florida, cuz they are usually real good and always obnoxious

Team you least wanna lose to is Tech, because they suck

Beating Tech is satisfying in a way, but doesnt usually mean much, cuz usually most any team better than the Little Sisters of the poor or East Bumblepork State can beat Tech

We’re gonna get murdered by Auburn, but we will NOT lose to insects

BirdDawg - It’s not hat beating the Bugs makes anything out of this season. Beating the bugs means very little

It’s that LOSING to the bugs means the team was gawdawful.

There’s a subtle difference.

Really all that beating Tech does is avoid shame - altho this year losing to Vandy AND Ky , yikes

There’s brighter days ahead. We’re not bugs, so we wont suck forever

Here is my list of must win games: 1) Auburn- I love beating them more than anyone because they seem to have more fans than any of our other foes and they are constantly taking some of our best talent from the state. Plus, they have cost us so much over the years. 2) Tennessee- Phil Fulmer, Peyton Manning. Thats all it takes. I hate rocky top. I want to beat them always. 3) Florida- Because we never do lately. Just once would be nice. 4) Tech- because they think they are so good, yet they have only had 8 eight win seasons over the past 40 years. I love putting them in their place. 5) S. Carolina- You guys are nothing, even with Spurrier. Just be happy with 4th place in the east division.

It is funny how y’all complain taht the ACC is down and that we connot play with the SEC but U care more about winning against THE BEES than a real SEC tough TEAM, that you recruit against & is the OLDEST RIVALRY IN THE SOUTH?
IT really is a bad year for the DAWGS. Your recruiting class was as good as AUBURN’s so, why can’t U compete? The poor BEES don’t have the HIGH RATED TALENT U DO so why worry about the BEE HIVE swarming around your BUTT? IS your fear that you will not even go to the BLUE TURF BOWL and freeze your butts off? What will you do if you do get beat by the SWARM-O-BEES? Stafford is good but I beleive COX is your better choice, personally. You have to pay taxes to TENN. KENTUCKY, FLA. The GA. TECH JACKETS get taxes from FLA. Virginia, MARYLAND, Ala. soon to be N. Carolina, but we owe So. Carolina. Good Luck beat Auburn and do it with class. When Ga. Tech comes to town show some class either WIN or LOOSE. We Tech fans will do the same.

Florida (1-5) Auburn (2-3) Could be (2-4) Saturday Tenn. (4-2) Lost 2 of 3.

Tech (5-0)

If not for the record against tech he would be mentioned in the same breath as Donnan. The talent level according to the experts is just as good under Richt as Donnan but really…who on this team is going to play on Sundays. Moses is falling down Kipers chart like a brick…all these draft picks from the past 5 years(most whom Donnan recruited) and this team does not have a candidate right now that would start in NFL Europe. The fire and intensity the defense had has left with VanGorder. How does Callaway even cash his check on Friday’s is beyond me. These have to be the most under producing coaches in all of college football.

To BirdDawg, No, I don’t think Damon Evans will step in and fire some of Richt’s assistants. That just isn’t done anywhere. They will let Richt sink or swim with the staff of his own choosing. If he decides to stick with Martinez and Callaway and Eason, then he better hope we show improvement next year and live up to the growing expectations for 2008. If we don’t, it’ll be Richt himself on the hot seat in a couple of years, not his assistants.

You know what he meant, you smart@$$ blindly loyal homer.

Richt abandoned the only really good running back this team has (Lump). And in doing so, doomed Stafford and the offense. You wanna see how to bring along an untested QB, look how they brought along Cox last year down at the Cow School, or how the Ozark Inbreds are bringing along Mustain. With a strong RUNNING GAME, that coaches don’t abandon EVER.

Richt has always been quick to dump the running game, and he’s always been quick to dump a running back who’s running through everyone to get the other guys some carries. You know it, I know, everyone knows it.

Try spinning that to conform to your blind homerism.

This year? Neither game matters. We will lose both, go 6-6 and not get invited to a bowl game, like I predicted when Stafford was named starter. I think not going to a bowl would be for the best anyway because I’m tired of watching us lose. I’d rather go 6-6 than 6-7.

This wasn’t a “reload” season, or even a rebuilding season for that matter. It was more of a vacation. Next year will be a rebuild, so I wouldn’t expect a dramatic turnaround. Stafford might develop more in the off season (something he hasn’t done yet) and the receivers might learn how to catch, but with no OC, Martinez still in as DC, and no O-Line, we’re going to see more of the same. Sad but true.

I love you UGA fans, you act like you belong in the upper echelon of college football but it is clear that Richt made hay while Fla, Tenn and GT’s programs have been slumping, and you still couldn’t beat Fla. UGA IS NOT AN UPPER ECHELON PROGRAM. It should be, but its not. The great programs reload and Richt only skill position players lining his cupboard. That won’t get it done long term in big boy football.

With Spurrier over in SC, your run of success in the east division is over. Richt has always been a mediocre coach who still has trouble with time management and play calling in crucial situations, but now that Meyer and Spurrier are in the conference he is going to have a harder time recruiting as well.

Lets take a quick peak at the future shall we. Fla will be strong for the next few years, Tenn will have Ainge two more years, Auburn has Cox and Lester back next year, Vandy is growing a strong program under Bobby Johnson (don’t laugh)and you know Spurriers teams will only get better. You can’t look at any of the top 6 programs in the SEC and say that UGA’s future is measurably better than any of them. And if you don’t believe me, ask yourself how good Stafford is going to be when he spends half of each game on his back.

Caveman - I agree. Beating Tech is great and losing to them is almost unbearable, but at this time, I think this game with Auburn is more impotant in regards to the programs/players psyche. We all know the numbers with Florida. Personally, I’d like to stop the losing streak to AU now so that we don’t start to go down that road. Also, being that it is a “major” SEC opponent, a win would be big, not to mention even UGA’s conference record. With the losses to UK and Vandy this year, a win over AU could alleviate some of the pain.

To the smack talking Tech fans (gt forever - this does not include you) who have so graciously (NOT!) bombarded OUR blogs - GO TO HELL GT! Y’all sound like the biggest schnooks talking about your “stingers” too, do you realize this? If not, go back and read your post out loud.

ugag fans are always good for a laugh. You all are so emotional - like a bunch of women perpetually on PMS.

While Tech cares about the ugag game, as we care about every game, we know that our conference games are much more important.

You guys cannot even defeat your conference opponents - never UFL and this year not even Vandy or Kentucky. Yet most of you care most about beating Tech? That is just too rich!

As an Auburn fan, I have watched every game this year. Auburn has not stopped anyone running between the tackles all year. If UGA sticks with a good runnig game, they will have a chance. Unless Auburn starts Blackman at linebacker. In that case its all over. WAREAGLE

TennDawg and all Doggies. Keep underestimating SC and Vandy. I’m not saying UGA is a worse program but I am saying that you can’t sit back and assume you are going to win those games. You lost to Kentucky, but I don’t put them in your league until they fire Rich Brooks.

As one of your faithful mentioned earlier in the blog, Richt has ruled a lousy GT program for the last few years but isn’t exactly exciting the fan base when it comes to SEC biggies, Fla, Auburn and now Tenn. You backed into the SEC title game last year and didn’t really have a fight the other 2 times you were there. I’m just telling you that you look ugly in your dress. And yes, you are fat.

This is my first time reading a UGA Blog. Just thankful that there are no Tech fans posting inane comments like the UGA fans (or really just one FAN)that post on the Tech Blog. We are cautiously optimistic about the game on Nov 25th. Here’s hoping you guys beat Auburn cause we hate them just behind you and Climpson. And you need something to brighten your winter.

I’d rather beat Auburn this year. Georgia has dominated Tech enough in recent years that it can survive losing one to them occasionally, but losing for the third straight year to AU starts a dangerous pattern of inferiority to not one (FLA) but TWO key conference rivals. It’s enough that one rival has gotten into our psyche.

I think AU will jump on us early, and then we’ll hammer back at them —late in the game. Too late, actually. Kinda like the FLA game. I just hope that we have a little promise to build on after this one (like the FLA game), exept this time actually ‘build’ on it. We’ll have an extra week to do it, too, before TECH comes to Athens. We haven’t had an emotional game all year, so we’re over-due. ‘IF’ this team actually has it in them, we MIGHT get up for that last game of the season—AT HOME.

I do not think that any of the players “assume” that they are just going to walk onto the field with SC, KY, Vandy, etc. and come out on top. Not to make excuses, but our kicker left seven points on the field against UK (2 missed fg’s and 1 missed extra point) and three against Vandy (“chip shot” fg). If those all go through the uprights, UGA is 8-2 and you and everyone else aren’t proclaiming the demise of the Dawgs. As for the fan base and their lack of “excitement” regarding UF, AU and UT, I’ll give you UF, but AU and UT - no way. Check Coach Right’s record against UT, you may be surprised. Finally, as for “backing into the SEC title game”, call it as you may. This is not unusual in conference/divisional sports where wins and losses of others benefit others. What did UGA do with their early Christmas present? They beat the snot out of LSU and EARNED their 2005 SEC Championship. As you know, I’m sure, their second in four years. Listen, as Dawgs fans we are obviously not jumping up and down at 6-4; however, we are also not ready to jump off the nearest bridge or tall building. Down seasons happen and are part of the game, just ask UT. Like most everything else, college football is cyclical. Look at Rutgers, Louisville and Cal, all “up” and look at UGA, Oklahoma and Iowa, all “down”. It is just nature of the beast. Let me finish with this - as a Dawg fan, I am excited and upbeat about the next two games and extremely so for the upcoming seasons. UT, SC, Vandy and the rest of the east are going to be looking up at the Dawgs at the top of the standings. GO DAWGS!!!

I reject the premise of the question and the entire idea that we should consider losing either game. This team needs to act like a Bulldog that has been slapped around this year, like we have. Its time to realize we are backed into a corner and come out biting and fighting in the same spirit that has made me a fan for all these years. Its time to get fired up and fight for our pride! Let the Techies talk all their crap, thats all they have because they sure haven’t proved it on the field. I like to talk my talk after I’ve walked my walk. Techies know nothing of walking the walk, but boy, they got the talk down, just like every year… then they disappear. But then… when you constantly and perpetually lose to us, thats all you can do is talk. You’ve got no excuse this year, but there is that sinking feeling in your gut isn’t there? You know deep inside that you may not win, so you better do all your trash talking before the game. You have no honor nor integrity to come on here talking trash when we’ve beaten you like a rented mule for this century and then some. Win a game first, have some integrity.

TennDawg, nice positive enthusiasm. Thats what I like. You could teach your brethren a thing or two. You said the magic word, “cyclical”. Too often I hear that CMR is the next best thing to the Holy Ghost and that UGA is going to be a perrenial Nat’l title contender. I’ll give you credit though, you got the media to buy into it. I have said and continue to say, I don’t think thats the case. Top 20? Yes. Top 5? No. There are just too many good teams/programs in the SEC for anyone to think that. No team in the SEC has had prolonged dominance in the last 25 years other than Spurrier’s Gators in the ’90s. And Richt is no Spurrier. If UGA can put together a winning streak against UF and Aub (2-5 since ‘99 my friend, thats not like UT at all), then I’ll change my opinion of coach Richt and UGA. Until then though, I gotta say other than ‘02 and ‘03 I haven’t been that impressed.

I’m not jumping off the Matthew Stafford bandwagon (I think he has great tools and potential), but the spread offense seems to be the offense of the future. Incoming QB recruit Logan Gray is supposed to be a DJ Shockley clone, and HB Knowshown Moreno will play next year. If the new guys pan out I could see Gray, Moreno and Southerland doing to defenses what White, Slaton and that big fullback do to West Va. opponents.

For a big dropback passer like Stafford to succeed against today’s quick, blitz-happy defenses, we need a great o-line and great blocking backs. We certainly don’t have that now. UK made Stafford look like a heavyweight boxer on the losing end of a fight. If we can’t protect Stafford, then the only solution may be to get a very fast and elusive qb and spread the D out.

Moore Cowbell - we’re in agreement about the good teams and programs in the SEC, that’s for sure. I’ve never thought any less; hence the reason we SEC fans scream for it’s superiority over all others in the college football world. As for the Dawg fans thinking that CMR is “the next best thing to the Holy Ghost”, that’s quite a stretch. He was a breath of fresh air at the perfect time for the program and college football in general. He turned UGA back into an SEC top-tier team and spread the “good word” the same time. This is why, in my opinion, he became such a media-darling. He is different than many of the rest in his profession; therefore he was cast into the spotlight whether he desired it or not. As for UGA fans expecting “national titles and top 5 finishes” annually, is that really such a bad thing? Unrealistic, sure, but to expect the best isn’t such a bad goal to shoot for. If you want mediocrity, go no further than Georgia Tech.

I gotta believe that Richt will make the changes in coaching staff that are obviously needed. Forget this year - next year will not be any SEC title but we’ll be ALOT better.

Bill , just curious if you have had a chance to look at the second half of KY game and tell us which series we should have run Lumpkin more? I assume the first series where Lump was stuffed twice and we had to punt wasnt it. The second one maybe? The one that started out with Lump getting stuff on his 3rd straight carry? Damn that KY crowding the box, didn’t ther realize we wanted to run Lumpkin some more? We did throw to him out of the backfield, a nice lil play, that I am surprised you didn’t mention in the topic. Also a couple of Danny ware runs and couple of completions before a penalty and sack, force an errant FG attempt. I know….the third one that was cut short from a fumble, maybe that one, since we ALWYAS know what we might NOT have done. I’m positive it wasnt the forth drive for you, unless a steady TD drive capped off by 3 consecutive runs by Ware made you wonder what coach was thinking. So I guess its the last drive. 1:20 trailing by a touchdown on our 20. yes, We really should have been just pumping that rock to Lumpkin there. Of cource an int. stoped any chance to know if what we would have done. But dont let the fact that we had as many Run attempts in the second half as the first, get in the way of saying we abandoned the running game.

I agree with you that it will probably come down to turnovers which doesn’t bode well for the DAWGS. When we commit our 5 turnovers and 4-5 drive killing penalties, it will make it tough to win, yet somehow we will stay in the game?

OR… we might just actually hold on to the ball against an SEC team and give ourselves a “chance” to win. It would be interesting to see what would happen to these 06 Dawgs if they committed 2 turnovers or heaven forbid…zero! We might find out that they can be a pretty good football team.

As a resident of the state of Georgia, I am glad to see our two fine schools, UGA and GT with nationally ranked mens team in the big three sports (Football, Basketball, and Baseball).

What? UGA is only ranked in the top 25 in baseball? Wow, I thought they had a good football team? Well, at least GT is ranked in the top 25 in all three.

I have an idea. Maybe UGA’s President and Athletic Director can get together and lower their admission standards so they can compete with the rest of the nation in these sports. What? They are already at the lowest standards now? Well thats a relief. Maybe UGA can now get a few top ten recruiting classes for these sports so they can get some talent to compete with the major programs. What? They’ve had those the past few years? Wow, what is going on at that school? Why are all these fans acting like UGA is so specal then when they can’t prove it on the fields and the courts?

Altamaha, I could not agree with you more. So I won’t rewrite what you just wrote.

Bill, which one do you want to win more? That is a cowards way out of saying you don’t think we can win either one. Yeah I am sure you are proud to be Georgia. As I said before, If reality bites, bite back. Stranger things have happened this year than us beating Auburn and Tech. You want to throw in the towel before either game starts. Why don’t you watch the game with your two new buddies, Carter and his evil twin Chippy.

Altahamaha, I agree but to me it’s just another case of this “Do as I say, not as I do”. Haven’t read the blog yet but Carter’s just done the same thing. It doesn’t matter to anyone but me and it’s just a personal opinion just wanted to voice it. That was another exciting Big East game last night. I’ve kind of follow Rutgers since their new coach took over. Read an article and wondered if he would stay with it. Did you see the picture on ESPN.com of the Empire State Bldg. lit up in Rutgers red? Reptile relative agree, he can build quite a team if Rutgers becomes the team for that area. Should be fun to watch.

Did ya see the Louisville-Rutgers game. neither team has half the talent we do but could probably whip oura$$ by three touchdowns. Our coaches suck. Our players are spoiled. How many players will be suspended at the start of next year? Its time for a coaching change. We could get Bushchamp, or Louisville’s, or Rutger’s, or Wake’s. There are a lot of good coaches out there that run clean programs. **UGA’S IS NOT ONE OF THEM. Fire coach mark sict and get a decent coach in here with integrity!!!!!!

War Eagle,

You claim that King gave AU a soft verbal on Thursday night, yet Jamie Newberg, speaking live on his Friday night high school report, says the Dawgs have pulled back into the lead for his services. I don’t know who to believe at this point, but he’ll probably announce shortly after Saturday.

This situation reminds me a lot of the Tray Blackmon saga 2 years ago. He was split between UGA and AU before hinting that he would base his decision on the game itself (also played on the Plains) in ‘04. Auburn and Blackmon showed up for that game, UGA did not. His pick was a no-brainer.

King was expected to announce on signing day, but his injury may speed things up a bit. Many teams turn down their pursuit of players once they get hurt, and that is when the recruits find out who really wants them. Just look how far he has tumbled down the rankings since he’s been out. He went from being a national overall top-5 down to #73 according to Rivals.com recently. I understand that academics may also become an issue, which could factor into the equation (see Rudi Johnson). I wish him well, hope he makes it, and hope its in Athens!

If this were the pros, we could trade one of our RBs and a backup QB for 3 quality OLs and a DT. But we still play on Saturdays, so we’ll have to hope that the staff does a better job of signing these guys. I’m watching Rennie Curran on TV now, he’s having a monster of a game against Parkview!

Bibble, don’t know if you’ll read down far enough to se this but that’s exactly what MR is doing. Going to the spread “O”. wonder why all of a sudden we’re running 4 wr. sets? Notice on 3 3rd dn. plays Stafford a\ran the ball? Yes, notice MR recruiting Logan Gray, a spread option type of QB? You aren’t giving up on Stafford when you make that comment, you’re just talking about where MR is taking the Dawg “O”.

Altamaha………………yes, I could get sick talking about a H.S. recruit who’s yet to step foot on any campus. Recruits come and go. Based on what I’ve read about him, he may bring more baggage with him(his brother) than he’s worth. I’d much rather be talking about the recruits who’ve committed and maybe going soft or the other guys we’re going after. 1 day it’s AU, then Ga. then who knows? Again, from what I read, I get a sense that King thinks we owe him, not that he should be gratful for the chance to play for the Dawgs. Just MO.

Rx…

See Bill’s post below yours. I am sick and tired of you Blind Loyalists.

If it were up to you idiots, Goof would still be coach, because God forbid ever questioning a coaching staff.

You morons keep on using circular logic to try and explain away your totally illogical blind loyalty.

I’ll keep my own mind and my team, Rx. It’s people like you, boosters like you (if you even give money to the school, which I doubt you do), that are bad for the team, because you bring nothing to the table except, Never criticize the coaches, and if you do, you’re no true fan.

I say guys like me and Buck, who’s also a hell of a lot smarter than me, are the real fans.

Oh, and by the way all of you retarded Bugs and Tigers… Georgia 24 Cow U 0.

Where are all those Auburn fans talking, Auburn always has better players, auburn has a better coach, Auburn, Auburn.

War Eagle, War Eagles go down way to easy to even be discussed as a national championship contender.

Buck, I read your comments. I couldn’t watch the game from where I live but I listened to it on the internet, and it sure sounds like we spread the Auburn D out and kept them off balance. It also sounds like Stafford is a much better runner than I gave him credit. I thought that quarterback draw for a TD against Fla was a busted play, but it looks more like a play Stafford can run very well.

37-15. Now we can go to a bowl game with a winning record and a little bit of salvaged pride, but let’s beat Tech first.
