Unsportsmanlike and Dumb.

When UGA rushed the field at Vandy, CMR said, “this isn’t GA football, this isn’t how we run our program”, because he knows that behavior is unsportsmanlike. It was unsportsmanlike against Vandy and Florida. (Doubly unsportsmanlike, because you were penalized twice during the same scene.) Unsportsmanlike conduct is a nice way of saying, “you were rubbing it in the other teams face”. …which GA did repeatedly in the game…

Dumb: next time FL is up 30-40 pts on UGA and does something to rub it in GA’s face, UGA will have no leg to stand on to complain that FL was being nasty or in the wrong, because now, UGA clearly has it coming to them.

Dumb: You should not create a national image of being unsportsmanlike just to fire your team up. You should be fired up because you are proud and want to represent your school and conference, but alas, pride and representing has gone out the window now.

Dumb: This will serve as quite a motivator for FL and any other UGA opponents going forward for quite some time. Giving your opponents motivation is DUMB.

Look at the national schedule in 2 weeks. There is not a more attractive game than Auburn at Georgia.

Assuming those teams handle their business this saturday, it seems pretty clear to me that ESPN college gameday will be back in Athens on Nov. 10th.

When was the last time they were in A-town?

To be read similar to the old spice commercial style… I used to think it was a good idea to give my opponents motivation by being unsportsmanlike and significantly taint my coach’s and school’s image, just to get motivated for ONE game, when we can’t get motivated in an honorable way…DUMB.

gatech92, since the Jacket’s play absolutely NO games that impact their season year in and year such as the GA-FLA game, you would not realize that with this win the Bulldogs season still has relevance. Are you making the assumption that it takes a celebration of sorts to motivate an opposing team?? Hum. Agreed, I too was a bit put off by the celebration at first, but there had to be something done to reverse the emotional/psychological edge that had clearly belonged to the Gators over the past 18 seasons. BTW, who cares if the celebration made Urban Myers mad. Get over it.

Spin it anyway you want, but unless you are a UGA fan, you are most likely going to feel like it was a classless way to motivate a team, who could apparently not be motivated in a class-filled way. Yes, as a GT guy, I love it when you guys show your stupidity and short sightedness. It’s the only joy I get regarding UGA, since you guys beat the our little Institute more times than not. Regardless, UGA’s image has been tainted, in exchange for ONE victory. Enjoy it boys.

Reactions to the now infamous, or famous, celebration are all over the map across the nation. It is hard to look at it objectively — is it a suprise the majority of Bulldawg Nation loves the out of characteristic move that made Clark Richt look more like Superman than the man on the other sidelines? And is it equally surprising that GT and UF fans are ticked? Let’s be honest Tech fans — if Coach Gailey instructed the same move to give the Jackets a spark and end the UGA losing streak, it would be deemed “brilliant.” Bottom line , excessive celebration is in the eye of the beholder. GO DAWGS!

gatech92, Was it unsportsman like when GT ripped apart the hedges after a win in Athens in 2000?? It is part of the game and all teams are guilty to some degree. It is just easier to overlook if it your team. I do not personally agree with the call by CMR, but can’t deny that it worked. I do not feel like this was a normal CMR move, I know I was surprised, but I feel is was a necessary evil at this point.

All the Tech boys can come up with is that we shouldn’t have celebrated after that first touch down? Even CMR said it was a little more than what he’d expected. But so what? The Dawgs needed to be fired up and that got them going. I think it was the right move, even if a little over done. They probably won’t be that excited when beat Tech. Personally, I’d rather see a fired up GA Bulldog team make a dumb move than a laid back team do nothing.

The celebration ploy was arguably a stroke of genius or the “death of honor” to Georgia, depending on whose side you’re on.

But, what I couldn’t believe was the decision to have someone field a punt with 3 seconds left in the half. Georgia forced Florida to punt with under 10 seconds to go at the end of the 1st half, and they put someone back deep to FAIR CATCH the ball?????!!!!!! Absolutely NOTHING good could have come from that scenario. He catches it - big deal, the half is over. He fumbles the punt - Florida recovers and kicks a field goal right before the half - and all of that hard-earned momentum is gone. It’s that kind of attention to detail (see the clock management issues mentioned in this article) that drive real football fans absolutely bonkers. That’s just a really poor coaching decision. As a UGA fan, thank God it turned out okay and the returner caught the ball cleanly.

every time there is an artilce written and every response just makes my point about the lack of class at UGA. complaining about the refs after a win. Can they count? well what about the refs throwing a flag in the AUBURN LSU game for not enough me on the line of scrimmage and then picking it up after reviewing a play. pictures show there were CLEARLY not enough men on the line. Every school could make gripes and excues but the dawg nation does it more than any other. Do I even need to mention the Ole miss game last year where the one and ONLY reason the pups won were because of the UGA faculty members officiating. Or what about the call in the Ole miss-Bama game this year, or the big east officials, I could go on and on and on……….

If we had that lineman doing his goofy dance on the Fla sideline, I would call that classless, but it was a celebration to get the WHOLE team into the game, not mock FLA. Gay-tech is always trying to find anything that is negative agianst UGA, b/c you cannot beat us. Also, negative sportsmanship has drawn attention by the media and is reported…i.e. OK state coach. But with the exception of a few, most analysts praised Richt for the call. Not to say that ESPN is the know-all they would give it negative press if it deserved it.

the whole rushing the field thing really isn’t that big of a deal. it was a little more out of control than CMR expected as he didn’t think the whole team would run out, but so what? the idea behind it was a good one. and in reality, anybody that knows our program under CMR knows they don’t celebrate by acting like arrogant, classless individuals. you want that you look at Tebow and his celebrations after TDs, or you look at Reggie Ball the few times he actually did something right, those guys are classless, selfish players. once in awhile you gotta do something to right a ship that was/has been going in the wrong direction. the TEAM decided this was the way to do it. most people around the country won’t care about this and most would be fine with it if their team did it. if this gets to be a trend then there’s a problem. i guarantee you it won’t. but you know, once in awhile, it’s not so bad being the bad boy instead of the choir boy. nice win and it was good to see our offense FINALLY show up for this particular game. when they have in the past we’ve won. they did this time and we won. and let’s hope WM keeps that same agressive D going, i loved all the blitzing of tebow. the little whiner, i’ve never seen so many athletes cry as you see with UF. what is up with that? good all around effort. fun game to watch.

WVgator, what about when a quarterback has taken a knee, and the whistle has clearly been blown, is it okay then to tackle said quarterback, risking serious injury to his legs? Or, what about when the head coach leaves the starting quarterback in the game when there are 3 minutes left and his team has already put 50 pts. up on an opponent (UT game ring a bell?) What do you think of a program that gets felony charges against its starting safety dropped just prior to a huge game (Tony Joiner, anyone) because the “victim” is a Gator fan? Coach Myer was going to punish him internally—right? Made me laugh that Joiner was one of the players who called UGA’s celebration classless!!!

The KoolAid that was poured into the corn sqeezin’s on Saturday was the greatest amount I have seen GA fans drink in a long time. Its amazing what one win will do. One dawg here in SC called the sports line this am and said ” I think the SEC championship game is the national champ game” He must be right. The famous SEC poll bounce was very apparent this week. GA with 2 loses moves ahead of Hawaii with no loses. Its clear that the media always says to the SEC ” Any SEC team that wins 9 games automatically goes to the BCS” We all know it so SEC fans don’t have to tell us what is obvious. Any two loss SEC team is recognized by the voters as equal to any undefeated team outside the SEC. So quit telling us your conference is so “hard”. You have the built-in poll advantage when the season begins.

Instead you missed your shot and resorted to name calling and avoiding the specifics of the arguments in play. You certainly have set the record straight regarding UGA’s level of class, or in this case lack thereof.

Go Dawgs…I think after spending the majority of my 23 years of life watching Florida wail on Georgia, whatever it takes is what Georgia has to do. If they got 200 yards worth of penalities, and have to pay thousands in fines…FINE!!! They can afford it. And as for our reputation, the only opinions that matter are those whose blood runs red and black. They won. I believe in college football that’s all that matters. Unless of course, like tech fans you must subscribe to the “it’s not if you win, or lose, it’s how you play the game” philosophy in order to continue pulling for such a team. For the first time in a long time they looked DYNAMIC, rather than flat and scared!!!It was great, it was a genious move on MR’s part!!!GO DAWGS!!!

Here is what CBS Sportsline commentator Dennis Dodd has to say about the situation. Here’s to the new attitude, if you don’t like it cry about it after we kick your a$$.

*So this is what Dawg fighting is all about: Georgia went all Miami (mid-’80s vintage) on Florida.

After his team’s first touchdown, Georgia coach Mark Richt urged all 70-plus players onto the field for a celebration. Flags flew and maybe a program earned a rep.

“I told them if they didn’t get a (celebration) penalty after the first touchdown I was going to run every one of them at 5:45 a.m.,” Richt said.

We love it. Georgia has been a nice, consistent, almost friendly program under Richt. Now look for the SEC to weigh in with some kind of fine. Also watch soon for the Dawgs to take a baseball bat to your mailbox or leer at your wife at the mall. Georgia is back in the SEC East picture after punking the Gators 42-30 in the Cocktail Party.

Hey, with the Ball Coach shrinking into the background, the SEC needed a new villain. Maybe Richt and the Bulldogs are it. Hunker down.*

Frank, maybe it was. But I give the coach credit for trying something different for the game. the streak we had against was pathetic. I don’t care if we had lost the game by 50 points, that the coach actually came out with a different game plan to get the team fired up and to actually play UP to their capabilitites was nice to see. That’s been out problem this year. We have talented guys on the field that are capable of making the plays but haven’t. Hopefully this will transfer to the Troy (yes they are a tough opponent), Kentucky and Auburn games. And maybe a little left over for you guys.

Was it just me or did Florida looked scared after the celebration? That call alone could change the momentum of this series back to the pre-spurrier days. Florida looked scared, and then we kept hitting them hard and kept get penalties. It scared them they didn’t know what to do. It reminded me of watching the Dawgs play Tech.

Some side notes of what I said we needed to do last Monday: Get an early penalty (I said late hit) it can set the momentum for the game - Check

Play MoMass and Bailey the entire time to create timing - Check

Pound the ball to open up the deep ball - check

Hit Tebow early and often to make him think about the shoulder - check

Maybe I do know what I am talking about unlike all those people on here who continue to hate on Stafford and our players by saying they will only win 2 more games all year (somebody owes me on that bet by the way). I heard some guy on the radio this morning still killing Stafford. Another interesting side note: You used to hear students who couldn’t get into UGA say screw it go to Truett, now they just say If you cant get into Georgia be a reject and go to Tech. It drives the Techies crazy now that UGA is harder statiscally to get into than Tech.

As a matter of fact, I’m proud of our schedule leading up to the Georgia –Florida game because if we do win, IT WILL BE SWEET! My point is Florida has always had an easier schedule before the Georgia –Florida game, nutcase. You guys are real men coming into this game since 1998 thumping your chests after a bye week. It seems to me that the Florida nation puts way much more importance to this rivalry than Georgia to try to get an off week…or maybe it’s because you guys want to look nice and pretty and not bruised up on national tv. Ask anyone, the coaches, the players, how much of an advantage a team gains after a bye week Oh by the way, I’m not focused on the Troy game. The team is doing that.

Ben, shall I point it out again?

Florida bye weeks before GA-FL game: 2006 won, 2005 won, 2003 won, 2002 won, 2001 won, 2000 won, 1999 won, 1998 won

2004, 2007: no bye week and lost to Georgia.

Hey gatech92,

1. The Vandy incident was about stomping on a logo…..not good.

2. The Florida incident was about motivating without belittling the opponent.

Of course - being a rival of UGA - you are going to see through the facts and twist the situation to your point.

Yes - UGA is the State Program..for the SEC. Tech is the State Program for the ACC. Nothing would please me more as to see two undefeated teams meet late November!!!!

Here is some Tech History

You are too young to know this - but Tech applied for SEC membership back in the mid/late 70’s - they left in the early mid 1960’s regarding a scholarship policy that they took a hard stand on. Bama and Ole Miss switched their votes as Tech arrongantly stated they would leave the conference if the vote did not go their way…and Bobby Dodd did not anticipate two schools alligned with him to switch. UGA backed Tech and did not want Tech to leave teh conference.

At any rate - Tech in the SEC would be great - Tech/Auburn, Tech /Tennessee were incredible rivals in the day…but Tech/Bama was very heated and the schools hated each other (hence the Bear talking Ole Miss into changing their votes).

Hope Tech wins them all up to the Georgia game…..and after losing to UGA - still get a good bowl opportunity.

tech92, unless you were at the game and saw what it did to our team and fans, you have no idea what you are talking about, plus your “opinion” is tempered with pretty predictable transparent motives. Nice try. I didn’t hear an objective voice in the world call that classless. bizaar, odd, sure. It’s not like our coaches told anyone to take a cheap shot at somebody, or a late hit. Its no different than a coach complaining a call till he is penalized or a manger trying to get tossed from a game. Just a calculated gamble. For that matter its about like holding, when you’re beat, trying to protect your QB. Taking a penalty on purpose. BTW the UF player decided it was ok to somersault his way to an unsportsman flag on the INT, so appearantly its ok with them.

Fire up the future UF teams??? As if thats a big concern. Didn’t you just cancel that argument in the whole “why would you need any additional motivation” comments? That argument might be more true for something like, oh, have your player destroy big chunks of Sanford hedges, like Tech did some years ago.

You are just grasping at straws, because this year is the first in a while that you tech fans can’t pin your entire season and bragging right on Uf beating Uga). Just like you had to take your Vandy flags down.

It wouldn’t have been my first choice as a motivational technique but hey it worked and I’m not complaining. For all of you purveyors of politically correct football etiquette, where were you when Spurrier scored 50 on us in Sanford Stadium just because no one had ever done that against us in Athens before. Give me a fricking break!! If we could have I’d been in favor of putting another 25-30 points on the board. Hell I can’t wait til the day when we finally get a high-powered “junkyard dawg” defense again and rub everybody’s face in the dirt and beat them with scores like 56-0! GO DAWGS!

It’s a shame that you insects have to live your football vicariously through the Georgia program. You should change your colors to pea green as in envy.

Dawg fans,

Did everyone see Urban Cryer’s reaction to the TD celebration? First, it was the shoulder shrug in Coach Richt’s direction. Next, he tried to get the GAYtors fired up in some half-a*******ed response. He looked like an idiot! Kinda reminded me of the cheerleaders who shout back & forth doing that rediculous cheer “we got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how ‘bout you?”

Also, I admire Tebow’s effort, and there’s no doubt he’s a great player, but is he going to cry after every loss?

Hope this is the start of another streak!

Some of you idiots haven’t read or heard anything accurate that CMR said. He said he would be upset if they didn’t get a penalty for celebration after the first touchdown. He did not plan/intend for the entire team to run on the field. That was the teams doing. But what does it matter. For all you complaining, go get a life. How many times has Fla and especially under Spurrier rubbed it in our faces. Up until Saturday, this team and coaching staff has had no emotion and no cahonies. I, for one, am glad to see the change… whatever it takes.

Yes a big win but let’s be realistic…Teebow was playing hurt and UF is overrated. The big question is how can UGA be ranked #10 with being blown out by Tenn., escapting Vandy by 3 pts at the end, beating Bama in overtime ( a team that lost to FSU). If this does’nt show that this season is up in the air in rankings nothing does.

Lectures from Tech fans and UF fans about class…you can’t make this stuff up.

There’s a famous picture of Bear Bryant wearing a helmet as he walked off Grant Field because Tech fans were throwing debris at the Tide, including whiskey bottles. That’s class, huh?

As for the Gators…you have to have class to even be able to recognize it, or the lack thereof. This is the same school that once bragged about running up the score on Georgia in Athens (in the middle of a 5-game series win streak, no less), and which once faced the NCAA death penalty for a second round of major violations. Among the charges from the mid-80s sanctions: spying on opponents’ practices. Between your coach throwing his headset down, your DB diving into the endzone after a pick with no Georgia player within 10 yards of him, and drilling our QB when his knee was clearly on the ground, you guys have lost the right to complain about class.

Unless you hold Georgia to a higher standard, of course.

No doubt,a big win for the dogs. When you have been pounded on as long as the dogs had by the Gators, you would expect some celebration. Taunting, smack talking, posing after scoring a TD, is now part of the game whether you like it or not. When you think about it, most Div. 1 programs have a THUG element in a minority of some players. Cannot be helped, I guess. This bye week theory is horse **. Yeah buddy.

Also in the wide world of of wacky college football, as bad as TN (who may very well be SEC EAST champs in the end) beat us…….Alabama beat them even worse, So wouldnt that make Alabama pretty good? Now beating Alabama on the road is that much more impressive. I’m sure you could play that game with the entire top 20. I dont think till you get into he top spots, there is anyone who is indisputable better than the team around them in the rankings. Also, who in the next 5 spots, would you rank over UGA now. Maybe Vatech. Everyone on the list has underwhelming wins and losses. Right now, the worse thing you can say about UGA is that it lost 2 games to a couple of pretty good teams.

The SEC is freaking lame and overrated. LSU is the only team worth a crap in your conference. UGA gets kicked in the balls by UT and b*** slapped by a mediocre USC team between the weeds. You scrape by Vandy on a last second field goal (not to mention thuggishly stomp on their logo). It took overtime to beat a horrible Alabama team (oh by the way lost handily to a below average ACC team). Now you finally found your golden nugget for like the 3rd time in 20 years by beating Florida. Congrats sh!t eating fleabags, it looks like you’re once again well on your way to a preseason national championship. Only you and the gamecocks play for that every year apparently.

Would I recommend we send all the players into the end zone during every big game? NO!

In reality this was an awkward situation at best, but everyone who understands sports should realize that sometimes you have to do “Dumb” or extraordinary things to break a hex. Was it unsportsman like for Steve Spurrier to get bye weeks before just about every Georgia game? It is now looking like the answer to that question is YES. Georgia has had 2 bye weeks in the last 17 years prior to the Florida game, both of which resulted in victories for Georgia.

You may ask what is the connection between the two situations. If you have to ask, then you don’t get it!

Where are all the people who made the statment before the season that UGA has an easy schedule?

In Today’s poll, UGA has 5 of the top 25 teams on their schedule for 07. UGA takes up the #10 spot, so that is 5 of the top 24.

In addition, there are two honorable mention teams just out of the top 25 plus tech, that is eight pretty good contests right there. In addition IF UGA beats Auburn and KY, there is a good chance they will be matched up with an additional team that was ranked #1 for a good part of the season.

Weak schedule? Are there 3 teams outside the SEC that can claim similar numbers on their 07 schedule?

A couple of gripes: I for one do not care one rat’s posterior about what Ga Tech, Gator, UT, or anyone else thinks about Richt’s twist on motivation. He meant for it to be a bit more low-key than it turned out. So what? It happened. The bigger deal is what ocurred during the remainder of the game: a good old fashioned arse whoopin’ that reminded me quite a bit of the 70s and 80s. The Dawgs did what I knew they were capable of but just hadn’t put together. Someone pointed out above that UF has a bye week next year. So? It’s not JUST the bye that helped this team. Remember that this is a young UGA team and they now have NO fragile psyche going into Jacksonville so forget that little angle. The 2004 game was a relief after not winning against UF since 7 years prior. This year was more of a statement. The Dawgs were clearly the aggressor from gun to horn. They took it to them and even when UF went up for a brief moment it had that feel that their lead would be short-lived (as it was).

Also, I for one will never read the stupid “Dawg Vent” again. It’s obvious that this fish-wrapper (AJC) wants to allow that thing to be the anti-Dawg vent as much as possible. The comments from the “other” fans aren’t worth reading anyway: pretty lame stuff…apparently anyone who has a shred of prose or pith in them is banned from the silly thing anyway. $crew it.

SuperRoy, always good to have someone make it real to the Techsters as to why their program has been consigned to the Almost Competitive Conference. When Tech was in a desperate financial situation during the 1970’s, Joel Eaves made a big push to try to get them re-admitted to the SEC. Trouble was, a majority of other member schools would have none of it. Whereas, Bobby Dodd was a great coach, his arrogance did him in. He lived to see the error of his arrogance.The memory of his arrogance lingered long on the memories of other member schools. Just think what a great program Tech could be if they were in the SEC. Atlanta sits at the crossroad of the conference. The media attention would be unbelievable. As I stated in earlier post, Tech fans cannot understand the importance of the GA-FLA game, since they NEVER play a game that has such an impact upon their season. I can answer the question concerning what others may think of the on-field celebration in 5 words: Who cares? Get over it!

Had this been GA Tech versus UGA, and GA Tech had pulled a stupid stunt like this, UGA fans would have tossed everything they had onto the field at them and Georgia’s team would have stormed the field.

It is a testament to the University of Florida, and its fans, for their restraint.

I thought Coach Richt had more class than that. He and the team should be ashamed. There is no defense to this type of behavior.

This is an embarrassment to the football team; something that a low class program, like the University of Miami of a few years back, would have pulled. UGA is fortunate that a fight did not ensue from this idiotic behavior, like the Miami FIU game, and someone got hurt or suspended for the year or kicked out of school.

Mekvertikleiben, real football teams do not try every year to get a bye week before a big rivalry game. Florida has always had an easier schedule before the Georgia –Florida game and next year is not exception. It seems to me that the Florida nation puts way more importance to this rivalry than Georgia by trying to get an off week…or maybe it’s because they want to look nice and pretty and not bruised up on national tv…(I have a feeling it’s both).

I shall point it out again. Every bye week resulted in a win and they are proud of this classless act. Which begs the question, why doesn’t Florida play a big game the week before the Georgia-Florida game then go to Jacksonville and play us?

Florida bye weeks before GA-FL game: 2006 won, 2005 won, 2003 won, 2002 won, 2001 won, 2000 won, 1999 won, 1998 won

I am no Georgia Basher and am on record on these blogs that Richt will go down as the greatest coach in UGA history:

It was a great game, and we did a lot of things right, but here are some of my thoughts on the game, some of them critical:

We did not blitz every down as it appeared live and as some are posting. We actually rushed 4 a good part of the game and actually rushed 3 at least about 4-5 times.

When we blitzed, it was usually with just one extra guy and sometimes 2. They weren’t all out blitzes every down.

We did a GREAT job of disguising where they would come from. We would bring a safety or linebacker up and then drop back nnd the next play bring them up and one would blitz. FL literally did not know where or when it would come from. Obviously, it was very effective, but also resulted in some big plays for FL. I would rather attack and get beat then rush 4 all game with no effectiveness and lose slowly.

On the negative, I don’t care if we rush 3 or 5 so much on 3rd and 18, but don’t play a zone behind it. Go ahead and man up on those longer 3rd downs so that receivers aren’t just sitting in a soft zone for a good QB like Tebow.

Stafford had a great game, HOWEVER, that was the single worst play by a Georgia QB since James Jackson laid the ball down at the end of the South Carolina game in 1986. Terrible judgement by Stafford on the throw from our end zone that could have cost us the game. Without that play, FL is totally blown out. It would have been better for him to take a safety there.

I was in the minority when I stated that Bobo called a good (not great) game against USC, despite the lack of production. I liked our gameplan (running the ball early), but quite frankly thought the play calling was good but not great in this one.

I am a big Bobo fan, but the hide the ball play was terrible on 2nd and 10 (when we are winning and they can’t stop a toss sweep). There were some other individual play calls that I thought were not right for the situation. Hey, we scored 6 TD’s, but FL couldn’t stop the run or the pass so ANY normal play in our playbook was working and it made Bobo looked better than he really wa in this game. Again, I’m a big supporter of Mike… but this was not his best effort.

The offensive line made everything work on Saturday. Receivers played very well.

Not much to gripe about with UGA being in the top 10 and still in contention for the SEC title.

By College Footbal Historian

October 29, 2007 3:52 PM | Link to this

Carlton, the reason GA Tech left the SEC is not because Bobby Dodd was arrogant but because none of the rest of the SEC coaches could compete with him in recruiting, and they banded together to limit the number of scholarships GA Tech could offer.

When they told Coach Dodd he couldn’t stockpile players and sit them on the bench, Coach Dodd made the decision to become an independent, like Notre Dame and Army, as GA Tech was considered somewhat of a National Powerhouse at that time.

In retrospect, it may have been a shortsighted decision, but with the limitations being placed on the Tech program, when GA Tech was in a position of power, it may have seemed a good decision at the time.

If you check the records of when GA Tech left the SEC, they had won many championships and several bowl games, dominating the conference. Tech was able to recruit so many players that other Universities had a hard time getting players to compete with Tech. This was the start to the scholarship limitations the NCAA now imposes on all Universities.

The celebration in the end zone was clearly meant as a motivational tool for the team, not as blatant disrespect to the Gators or it’s fans. It was great to see such passion from the UGA players & coach in this game. UGA has talent & regardless of our losses to TN & SC, I think that this team will carry over the emotion of this game for the rest of the season. Some people feel that this incident reflects classlessness on the part of Coach Richt & the players & I couldn’t disagree more. I feel that this team & Coach Richt showed all of the UGA critics who thought they didn’t have a chance in this game that they were there to play, play to win. Mission Accomplished.

This celebration griping by UGA’s rivals is pretty stupid. Showing excitement and enthusiasm for a team’s success is not classless. Sure, if we did it every touchdown we ever scored, that’s going too far.

It was a good move, because the chief reason for recent failures has not been a lack of talent or athleticism…it has been a mental block. The team needed to break out of it with something, and they did in an entirely appropriate way.

But unquestionably we needed to break out of a rut, and we did so and got back down to business. Maybe Tech should try it this year, if they actually score a touchdown against us.

Hey Sick, you must be sick! Look who’s talking about taking time off to prepare for a big game. What don’t you get about this record? Who’s the team that needs preparation for this game? Unless you’re blind or can’t do math, the record says it all. It looks to me like Florida tries to get some bye week help leading up to this game. Ya’ think!!!

Florida bye weeks before GA-FL game: 2006 won, 2005 won, 2003 won, 2002 won, 2001 won, 2000 won, 1999 won, 1998 won

2004, 2007: no bye week and lost to Georgia.

By the way, you can intepret the celebration however you want but the fact is the celebration was to get Georgia fired up and not to disrespect your lizards so don’t flatter yourselves. You Gator fans sound like a bunch of crazy jealous girlfriends. When the spotlight is not on you, you find every excuse to fight with the real men!

Missy, let me ask you, what do you think would happen next year if Florida stormed the field after every score on UGA. Do you think that UGA’s fans would be singing the same song as they are today? I don’t think so.

It would be just as classless for Florida to do it as it was for UGA this past weekend, and no matter how you, Richt, or any of the other idiotic UGA fans try to spin the antic, it was poor sportsmanship, plain and simple.

Mission accomplished? Do you honestly think that the University of Florida, its players, or its fans, will ever forget what the UGA football team pulled on the field this season? Do you think that if they have the chance to embarrass UGA every chance they get, in every sport, they will do so?

If UGA was trying to find a way to motivate the University of Florida for years to come, then, yes, Mission was accomplished.

For all of you who are proclaiming Mark Richt such a genius, remember this day. I have warned you that he has lit the fire under the gators for years to come, and they didn’t need much to hate Georgia.

And what’s with all of the bold; do you think we will be able to hear you better if you are shouting at us?

If you are so concerned about leveling the playing field with Florida, or any other team for that matter, why not just have UGA skip a week between games so that Richt can set up a game plan? That way, you can stop whining about losing. Or just keep playing patsies every other game. Oh, I forgot, UGA already does that. My bad.

One commenter asked what about reaction if the Gator team had gone out for the coin flip. What do you think they did? No one that cares gives a flying flip. Steve hangs fifty on Goof because he can, and it’s OK. The Gators have been so tremendously successful that they’ve begun treating everyone else with contempt. So, just what is class. It depends completely on your perspective. If you “hate” the success of others, you will find a reason to call names.By the way, if Urban tries something like that next year, and it works, it only means that we couldn’t answer the challenge. It’s just a game. Oh, Techie, if you think UGA is a classless winner, you should try loosing to Tech just once.

Why the heck would we stoop down so low as to have several years of bye week like Florida has done. Here’s a thought, why doesn’t Florida postpone their date with the salon and play a real game before GA-FL? And what the heck are you doing in this blog?

I guess you’ll defend that somehow too.Your only defending this now because it happened to work out this time.

Ahh class. Hmm, let’s talk about class for a moment. Is class throwing your players under the bus by saying: “I can’t trade them so I have to play them”, throwing your headset down repeatedly (reminescent of a child throwing a fit), deliberately running up the score on opponents & verbally insulting rival teams in your division to the media? I think most of you know who I am talking about. Former UF grad, AKA “The Ole Ball Coach”. Class indeed.

College Football Historian— Thanks for the thoughts. I would agree with what you contend. To be sure, Bobby Dodd was a GREAT college coach, and an even GREATER gameday coach. Very seldomly did he get out coached. But, the move to take GA Tech out of the SEC was not his brightest moment. You are so correct; during the ‘50’s Tech was bigger than big in the south. UGA languished at a pitiful level ‘til Tarkenton arrived in ‘58. What Dodd wanted to do was leverage Tech’s position to gain national prominence by playing a “national” schedule as an independent. You are correct; Tech, like all schools with the financial ability to do so, stockpiled players only to keep other teams from having them. Thus, the scholarship limitations. Tech was going to play Notre Dame, the service academies, as well as other national heavyweights of the day. Problem was that just as Tech was leaving the SEC, the service academies were in decline in terms of competitiveness, and scheduling Notre Dame and the likes was difficult. Further, the rapidly changing demographics of Atlanta and arrival of pro sports no longer allowed Tech to be the “the only game in town.” I lament the decline in Tech’s football meaningfullness. If I were a person of real influence, I would do whatever required to get Tech back into to the SEC, send South Carolina back to the ACC, and who cares about Arkansas. Within five years of such re-allignment, I’m betting Tech would have an awesome program. Now, that would be fun!! Unfortunately, all we can do is dream.

Use all of the insults and bold faced fonts you want, it won’t change the fact that for years, Florida and Steve Spurrier beat you like a drum, and UGA needs patsies on its schedule and open dates to have a chance to win big games.

Wheres blogger Gatorfan that talked sheeet all summer????? Techies , go to you own blog sites to whine. All the dogs did was run to their own endzone and celebrate a little. But after reading all summer -comments form gatorfan who always wanted the last say even when the topic may have been a tech / Gerorgia thing, Im wondering where hes at . Did I miss him say that we just flat out whipped their a$$??? I live in Fla and suprisingly, several Gaytors are admitting a pretty good a$$ whipping. THe refs tried to help Fla along.. Two 30 yd penalties. The facemasks were incedental-and a Fla player also had an incedental mask on the same play. Momass did nothing but clap and they got him for 15 thinking his barely sideways clap was the gaytor chomp. Its ok for them chop—-theyve done it for years. AND, a forty yd gain erased by a mysery false start that the announcers proved did not occur. A missed block in the back on Fla right off the bat which was stinkingly obvious. Oh I know the only reason we one was Because t-blow had a bruise on his knowshow - i mean non throwing shoulder ( that he missed no time over—guess what folks F* said he didnt take contact in practice—THEY DONT HIT HIM IN PRACTICE ANYWAY . Dogs probably wouldnt have been able to run the ball at all if T blower could have played both ways (which he really likes to do and could have played middle linebacker as well. Thank you Marcus Washington who tuffed out a real shoulder injury and was quite willing to exchange t-blows with Elvis.-the second coming of christ in jacksonville. What if he has a tweaked knee coming in next year ie SHOCKLEY. Will our dominance be tainted with excuses and that its not fair for GA to be too fired up???? Tech fans go try (again)) to get your season under control. Calvins gone—your inconsistant again like us and several others (FL.) Thank the gods Reggie has moved on . Start thinking about ways to stop Caleb, Knowshon, Momass, AJ GREEN nextyear, And tell your own players that Curran , Ellerbe, Washington Etc arent really in to football. Find ways to motivate w/ o celebrating or showing this lack of class everyone is so worried about. Where are you gatorfan? Get a mullet -thats not a penalty and motivates Fla football players. Yep, when they look up in those stands and see the girl they were with last night sucking face w/ a jean short wearing mullet head that really motivates them to hit somebody. Talk smack—-Techies-

The better team won on Saturday, it’s just that simple. It was obvious from the beginning of the game until the end.

So why can’t some of you Florida/GA Tech fans admit that UGA deserved to win? Why constantly throw jabs at our fine institution, UGA fans & our great, well respected coach? Cheap shots at UGA’s expense only show the insecurities that you have about your home teams.

And the reason it was near the logo cuz thats where Couto was kicking it from. Teblows shoulder did not cause six sacks. Tech if you would have beaten Fla.- wed be happy for you. Tech you talked smack all year last year when we were struggling—yet you gagged against us and the rest of the chance you had.. Tech bloggers -if Ga sux so bad why does your own record and # of ACC championships measure up in the last six years. If we polled America, would Gailey and crew be in the top tier of coaches??? 10 wins almost every year??? Beaten Fla lately?? Beaten Georgia lately??? PLUS thats three losses this year for the hallowed tblow and Crier. Three. If they dont watch out it sounds like that sacreligious celebration might make Fla lose out the rest of the season . J.Kidding-that call just sent the message that Ga did not come to lose or play tight . The Dawgs were going to lay it on the line. Ga got the bulk of bad calls-AGAIN in Jax as usual.

Hey “Sick of UGA fans”,

NCAA probation for purposely drawing a penalty? If that was the case, every college in the country would have their basketball team on prbation. How many times at the end of a game has a coach told their players to intentionally foul to try and get back in a game they are losing??? PUT THEM ALL ON PROBATION! TAKE AWAY SCHOLARSHIPS!

Please.

The SEC has already said it isn’t going to penalize UGA and neither will the NCAA.

Spurrier and Florida still “spank” us regulary? Spurrier wins by 4 after losing two straight to us at USC and Florida is now 2-2 against us the last four years while beating us by 4 and 7 in those two wins is “spanking” us???

Please.

You would think you as a Tech fan would really understand what the football definition of “spank” really is — after all, you have seen enough of them by the Red and Black every time UGA plays the North Avenue Trade school. Take out the 3 wins in a row your program had to forfeit and UGA hasn’t lost to Tech since 1990.

Hey Sick, you’re getting more stupid each and every time you post something. Georgia Tech is not even in the SEC so we place no importance in those bugs…just in-state bragging rights. There’s no difference with or without a bye week because beat them either way. Again, real teams don’t hide behind bye weeks before a big rivalry such as Florida, which is in our conference. Yes, a very important game to both teams, but guess who’s been trying to get bye weeks before the game 13 of the last 16. Listen to yourself dude, you have nothing else to say, nothing. I can see desperation in all your posts quoting the same thing over and over…so flustered that you can’t be original…what’s with the “wahwah” quote that you got from one of my posts? You have so much hate for Georgia, this Bulldog forum has gotten to your head and you still come back for more spanking. That’s AWESOME! Calm down, relax, take a deep breath and close your legs.

Red and Black…you are saying the only way for Florida to beat Georgia is for Florida to have a bye week? It seems to me that the only way Georgia can beat Florida is to have a bye week! In either case, logic tells you that having a bye week will help you heal and plan better to beat the team you are going to play next…that is a given. But Florida did not win 15 out of 17 because they had a bye week. They won those games because they outplayed Georgia 15 out of 17 times…just like Georgia outplayed Florida this past Saturday. If you think any differently, you have very little upstairs other than emotional stupidity. If the Gators beat Georgia next year, and I think they will because Florida has superior talent overall…and I think better coaching overall…it will not because of having a bye week. It will be because Tim Tebow is the best player in America, and he will be surrounded by better players on both sides of the ball. He is the best player in America this year, but, unfortunately, Florida was not able to put the best players they had on the field on Saturday. Even so, I think Georgia might have won the game Saturday because they wanted it more than Florida did. I don’t think that will be the case next year, thanks to the loss and the stunt pulled by your coach. Florida will be very fired up next year. You better be ready to duck!

The only two years they didn’t have bye week was 2004 and 2007 and guess what, they lost! Hmmm, are the Gaterds afraid to play an SEC game before the Georgia – Florida game. Have you thought about maybe, just maybe if both teams either had bye week or played a game before they play each other, it would be more equal? Maybe alternating stadiums, too? Of course you wouldn’t agree because you want your stupid lizards to have the advantage all of the time. Come down and play in a real man’s playground and stop trying to get rest a week before the game, 13 out of the last 15. Next year is no exception if you haven’t seen it. You guys get another break by having a bye week before playing Kentucky Fried Chicken and then Georgia. A real man’s team, Georgia, plays Tennessee, Vandy, LSU and then Florida….with no break!!! Like I said before, if you Gaterds can hang your hat on an easy schedule before going to Jacksonville then you guys have no class. See below for a reality check and take advantage of your rest week. I hope this past weekend changes things for Georgia so they’ll still beat your lizards even after the lizard’s bye week date with the salon.

By the way, if you really think your Gaterds outplayed Georgia, in 2003, 2005, and 2006, Florida beat Georgia by only 7 point or less during each game…and guess what, Florida had a date with the salon the week before the game. Interesting how even after a bye week, the lizards just escaped from being beat.

Florida bye weeks before GA-FL game: 2006 won, 2005 won, 2003 won, 2002 won, 2001 won, 2000 won, 1999 won, 1998 won

2004, 2007: no bye week and lost to Georgia.

Again, just maybe if more bye weeks went to Georgia, you think Florida would have won as many games? Take a look at the scores in 2003, 2005, and 2006 and see for yourself stupid.

Lack of class, blah blah blah. Seems like the general consensus of reviews out there suggest that most thought it was a good move. Kind of petty that people keep piling on the criticism, and more than telling about its source.

Someone pointed it out earlier: there’s a huge gulf between dancing on someone’s logo after a win and celebrating after a touchdown. True. Lighten up indeed.

Tech sux.

For all you Georgia fans who think the “Intentional Celebration Penalty” was so great, you simply cannot deny these facts:

1. Your head coach will now forever be famous for stooping to any level, no matter how low, if he is desperate enough.
2. Your head coach could not come up with one single, teensy weensy idea to motivate his team within the rules.

3. Your head coach would not have felt the need to write a letter to the SEC commissioner if the intentional rule violation was no big deal. He obviously knows better.

   I actually gained new respect for Richt two weeks ago. It evaporated last Saturday afternoon. He cheated to win. Period. Yes, all you wonderful Dawg faithful: Cheated to win. That’s what you call it when someone intentionally breaks the rules. (That bold type is just for you, RedAndBlack, you sweet little ignorant buffoon.)

   GO JACKETS!

Hey jacket24 - nice number - you forgot to add a #4 The first Georgia head coach that will never lose to the North Avenue Trade School.

And please be sure to condemn your bbcoach - whatever his name is the next time he takes a technical, wanders out of the coach’s box and/or onto the court, or cusses a ref - all in the name of sending a message to his team or to the officials.

Any fan whose favorite team has ever been coached by Spurrier should be forbidden to call any other coach “classless”.

TO JACKASS24:

You’re even more stupid than Tampongator and Sick. Obviously you’ve never played football before. How many coaches do you know that hasn’t broken a rule in football. You think Chan Gay-ley hasn’t broken a rule??? Do you really think he’s an angel? Are you really that stupid? Let me answer that for you…YES! It’s obvious you’ve never suited up and taken the field because you don’t know what goes on during practice. Coach Richt is classy enough to admit that he broke a rule and also apologized about it in public. Also, I never thought trying to get a team motivated is ever considered cheating. If so, then every coach in the country are all cheaters you BABOON!!!

BTW: GO JACKETS…are LOSING!!!!

LOSER!!!

Y’all Daaawgs act like you just won the national chamionship of somethin. Like you killed the Gators. Less I’m mistaken, you had a five point lead with three minutes to go and Teebow, who had no business even bein on the field, still almost beat you. All this stuff about you beating them down is hilarious. If they don’t have a stupid mix up and fumble on about your 10-yard line, their star probably beats you anyway, playing at 50%. Second rate coach. Second rate fans. Second rate expectations.

Hey Jacket24 your misguided trade school logic has led you astray again. The Dawgs took 30 yards in penalties after the touchdown. Florida also “cheated” 7 times for 68 yards in penalties including a blatantly malicious hit on stafford. Where do techies get off running their mouth about football?

Jacket 24: So Richt “cheated” by summoning his players to celebrate a TD, thus winning the game because of that? A penalty was given to UGA, Florida could not capitalize on that, not UGA’s or Richt’s fault. And if you don’t know, a penalty doesn’t assess the violating team points on the board, so how you can say that UGA won because you call their action “cheating”. That’s asinine. Are you really that slow?

Get a life, all you psycho Gator fans. The record shows that Charlie Pell and Steve Spurrier are the GODFATHERS of your public attitude, your whining, your crying, your moaning , and your bellyaching. You have absolutely no leg to stand on regarding on-field “behavior”. Take your medicine like an adult, or crawl back to “HOGTOWN” where you belong…..

OK, I was worried about the chances of you guys dropping your last two SEC games. But after you gave up 34 to Troy, it’s looking pretty good.

Auburn will stuff your runing game and Kentucky will simply outscore you.

Richt is a class act period. The celabration was brillant.If a defensive back is beat on a deep route and a db grabs the reciever it is smart football right? Unless it’s GA. GOOOODAWGS.
