Tuesday: Dogs deny Stafford; UGA-Tech too close to call
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 02/06/07 4:58 PM
Latest news
Super 11 defensive end D.J. Stafford had a change of heart today. The LaGrange star wants to sign with Georgia.
Just one problem: When Stafford called Bulldogs coaches to break the news, they said “no thanks.”
“They didn’t want to take me so I am moving on,” Stafford told the AJC’s Carter Strickland. “I am going to Kentucky.”
So Georgia’s class remains at 23. Georgia Tech will sign 20 tomorrow.
Which got us to thinking: Which school has the better class?
“How close is it? Flip a coin,” Scout.com analyst Scott Kennedy tells the blog today. “I’d probably go with Georgia Tech’s class, because I generally don’t like a class loaded with junior college players, but in this case for the Bulldogs is was absolutely neccessary. Otherwise, they’re nearly identical. They’re both taking care of the offensive and defensive line, and both getting good skill players in the offensive and defensive backfield. If Tech can put together two or three of these classes in a row, they will have closed the talent gap between the two programs.”
“I would give Georgia the edge right now, but it’s very close,” Rivals.com’s **JC Shurburtt says. “Top to bottom, it’s a better class by a hair. It’s not the most flashy Bulldogs class, but the impact players along both lines of scrimmage, along with the depth they are building is outstanding. The difference between the No. 8 class nationally and the No. 18 class nationally is minimal, though, and certainly this being Tech’s best class in years there are many impact players in it as well. The Jackets gave the Dawgs a good fight in-state this year and made tremendous progress on that front with regards to in-state talent.”
“Very, very close,” Scout.com analyst Jamie Newberg says. “It’s splitting hairs. Right now I would give the slight edge to Georgia Tech.”
Some comparative data to mull over:
— Both the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets have commitments from three AJC Super 11 signees .
— Georgia has seven Super Southern 100 commitments. Tech has five.
— Tech has Rivals.com’s top-rated prospect in Pennsylvania (Derrick Morgan). Georgia has the Web site’s top player in Missouri (Aron White).
— Georgia has three of Rivals’ top 10 players in the Peach State — Antwane Greenlee (No. 3), Caleb King (No. 4) and Israel Troupe (No. 9). Tech also has three — Morgan Burnett (No. 5), Jonathan Dwyer (No. 8) and Nick Claytor (No. 10).
For more on Stafford and the rest of today’s big news, check out the “latest news” section to the right.
Be sure to come back tomorrow, when we’ll have writers dispatched all over the state to bring you up-to-the-minute news. Well also have columnists weighing in at Tech (Jeff Schultz) and Georgia (Mark Bradley) and a few writers dedicated solely to tracking all the big news around the SEC and ACC.
I’ll be in around 6 to get the blog rolling. It’ll be one-stop shopping, with all the news off this page to the right, like we’ve been doing.
We’ll put out a nine-page signing day special section Thursday (pick it up) and then — get this — keep the blog rolling Thursday and beyond. It’s gone over so well thanks to your clicks, we’re going to try to make it a year-round feature. Let me know what you want to see on it.
Thanks for reading and happy blogging.

As a dawg, I am glad that UGA got 14 additional offensive and defensive linemen position players. This was a class selected to fill specific needs, and we were thin on both sides of the line last year and now are even more so with graduation. Games are won and lost on the line of scrimmage, and we will be a much stronger and better team in the next few years with this class. A QB can’t through and a RB cannot run without someone blocking for them. A team cannot win in the SEC if it cannot stop the run first. So we got what we needed and hopefully we can flip a few recruits from other schools with the remaining scholorships.

D.J. Stafford did not make it to Athens, citing bad weather in LaGrange. Said yesterday he’s not ruling out UGA but sure sounds like Kentucky. Also sounds like he’s Hargrave-bound.

Bailey relaized just like Chris Little that he” not man enough to play in the SEC.They both didnt want to have to work for it like they would have in the SEC. Im starting to feel the same about Greenlee, you either want to be a dawg or whatever your original commitment is or you dont.If”s its taking him this long to figure it out then we dont need him cause his hearts not in it. I guess it there 10 minutes of fame till they get their reality check come August.Glad to see both the Dawgs and Tech doing so well this year. Good luck to both teams next year!

Jim you are way off base on Allen Bailey. He is truly a unique individual. You should’ve read the Espn.com article on him. He has no concept of the SEC/ACC or anything else. He went where he felt comfortable. He lives on an island with one pay phone and no real television or anything. YOu have to take a ferry to get there. When someone mentioned Nick Saban at Alabama he said “Who’s Nick Saban?” Truly a unique and great kid not swayed by anything you or I might be. He said he went to Miami because he liked Randy Shannon as a person not necessarily because of anything football related. Just thought you should know the story before slamming a kid for not being man enough.

It’s pretty amazing that the classes are this close considering the disparity in academic standards. I’m not necessarily saying one school is better than the other (although GA Tech is better if you look at any academically published ranking), I’m just saying Tech is unable to go after any JUCO players, or someone like Caleb King or D.J. Stafford because they have a higher admission standard than NCAA (the one UGA and most colleges use) does for incoming athletes. Also, they have a higher standard as far as what grades it takes to stay on an athletic team (and the schools harder to begin with). Also, if Tech could play UGA as well as they have for the past couple of years, and make it to the ACC Championship game with only the 49,48, and 35 best classes the last 3 years, I think they will be contenders to finish in the top 15 to top 10 in the coming years.

The Dogs lost some recruits this year, I believe because of the amount of redshirts we had last season that will compete against these 4 and 5 star cats. The losses to Vandy & UK didn’t help either. Heard a rumor that C. King may have qualified, not sure how accurate it is though. Either way we have a stable in the backfield. Interested in seeing how the “new” O line will play. Dogs will be solid this season- receivers need to hold onto the ball though. GO DAWGS!

It will be “amazing” if UGA’s and GT’s recruiting classes are this close for the next two or three consecutive years. This, statistically speaking, falls under the category of coincidence, outlier, etc. But I’m sure you knew that….

AMM, remove the charade. Tech is not harder to get into than UGA for an athlete(and not much harder for others, either for that matter.) The only real difference is more math required for all students. We’re not exactly talking about a bunch of chem engineering majors here. You’re confusing your school’s program with that of a true academic power like Duke, Vandy, etc. I think Reggie Ball’s presence on campus would eliminate any doubt about that, dog. Also, the reason Tech made the ACC chumpionship is because the ACC STINKS. Someone had to go, it might as well be Tech. It would have been UGA in spite of its down year if they were lowered themselves to that conference. Is App State now a contender because of its domination of its conference?

James, right on. There are some real bozos on this blog that say they’re not that good anyway as soon as they don’t go to UGA. I sometimes post(as an obvious joke) that we really didn’t want them anyway when they commit somewhere else as a parody of what these clowns write. Jim probably said the same thing about Calvin Johnson three years ago.

Looking at this UGA signing class, I can see why Mark Richt is a Happy man. For the last 3 years Georgia’s signed a LOT of skill players, but not many linemen. Everybody saw what happens when you have a talented QB, 3 talented RB’s & several talented receivers (ok, that can be argued, although if the WR’s were able to completed their routs, things could’ve been very different). It’s hard to win those close games because if you can’t establish the run & make 1st downs, then you can’t control the clock. Everybody blames the KEN & Vandy loses of the D-Fence, but if Georgia could have controlled the clock, KEN & Vandy wouldn’t have gotten the ball back to begin with, not to mention it probably wouldn’t been as close a game. And while Stafford made freshman mistakes, if he wouldn’t have been so mobile there’s no telling how many times he would’ve been sacked. We are LOADED with skill players from the ‘05 & ‘06 recruiting class. Now maybe we’ll get to see some of those guys SHINE!! GO DAWGS!!!!!

GRRRRR! This type of talk is ruinning football. Who cares about “rankings” of players that have never set foot on a college football field? We all know of highly ranked players like this that completely flop in college (either academically and/or on the field). So, what’s the point here?
IMHO, what matters is how the kids do once they are in college. Won’t you agree?
UGA always has highly rated recruiting classes. But, many of those kids cannot hack it academically (either don’t qualify academically or flunk out). And, UGA results on the field year in and year out never match their highly rated recruiting classes. This measure means so much more!!!!

There is a reason for everything, and that is why UGA missed out on the likes of Morgan Burnette, Cameron Heywood, Allen Bailey, D.J. Stafford, and Chris Little. CMR laid it out for these guys, the odds of starting at UGA anytime soon are nil to 25%. Now all of these guys have warp prospective on their self worth. They were stars on their high school teams but can they produce on a team where talent is equal? Nobody knows, they’ve got to prove that.
Historically UGA’s 5 star recruits have under achieved, ie. B. Miller as junior did not start and was not even a satisfactory substitute, C.J. Byrd did not make it on field for more than 7 plays, the defense was much better when Kade Weston was on the bench, Charles Johnson only played up to his ability during the second half of the Peach Bowl, and that was only for draft placement. Quentin Moses took the entire season off.
It is highly unlikely that any of the recruits listed above see action prior to their junior seasons giving them only one year to play for a draft placement because I doubt that any of those guys are planning to play a senior season.
So good-bye guys the fact is we don’t need you. I’d rather have a mature lunch-pale guy with good grades, and common sense, that plays team ball any day.

Still waiting on anyone to answer me how UF is going to get diddly squat from signing 3 more QB’s this year. Ranking aught to be based on potential contributions. Or balance. Some interprising young man could make a buck or two devising a scale for “meet needs best”.

As I have posted in the past, GT will overtake UGA as Florida has done. It is showing in the recruiting, and remember, the GT kids are such better citizens and they tend to stay in school. I think the overall thinking is that GT is on the rise while UGA is on a downward trend. In 2 years GT will begin a string of domination of UGA similar to what has happenned in their series with UF. Move over Dawgs, a new boss (This time on the football field rather than the office, where you have a long history of answering to Tech men)is comin’ to town.

Why does the newspaper continue to try to compare the UGA & GT programs??? There is a big difference between UGA & GT, has’nt the last decade proved that. The SEC is a much stronger conference than the ACC with out a doubt. All you Techmites stop with the Academic standards, most of your players attend Clark Atlanta in an exchange program. We may recruit juco players, but your players attend for all 4 to 6 years. Please don’t post anything about me working some day for a tech grad….But I did have one build my house…Tell Chan Gailey there is an opening in the CFL!!!!!

How is it when UGA has a high ranking then everything is on the up and up with the rankings. But when Florida is #1, there is a massive conspiracy. The reason we took 3 QB’s is that we only had 2 last year, and 1 left. So as 0:00 drew down on the 2006 year, we had exactly 1 QB.
So we are going to redshirt either Brantly or Newton. Waggoneer should be our #2 QB. Did you hear the Gators b*** when you had Cox, Stafford, and a couple more. ONly one of those are going to make the field, so that is the same argument to be made throughout different colleges.
Meyer used 2 quarterbacks successfully last year, and I wouldn’t be suprised if he did that again. Always remember, contempt is bread from eny and jealousy.

C’Mon Gator, UGA has NEVER had THREE QB’s in one class. The reason gators never wined about Barnes, Cox, and Stafford, is because they were all different signing classes. Now, that makes sense. I don’t care if you didn’t have any (that’s ZERO) QB’s whatsoever at the end of these year. Three QB’s in the same class is retarded. Last I checked, there is only one QB on the field. Unless, y’all plain on playing defense with you QB’s it is a waste. Nobody said it wasn’t “on the up and up” we just said it was CRAZY. Which it is. Non debatable. Atleast one if not two of those QB’s needs to have a physical completed because chances are, they are brain dead. Fla being NC or not. It’s crazy
Not to mention, has anyone else noticed that like SIX of FLA’s recuits are from the same school? Wierd.

It must really pain you that the best years that Ga has had was an SEC Championship and the Sugar Bowl (1 -1 I might add). Meyer didn’t cry you idiot, he stated the fact. If Saint Mark Richt hadn’t given up in the Tennessee game your team could have been there.
What is the most famous cry of the Ga Bulldogs? “WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR”

Null,
you can tell you don’t have an argument when you resort to calling or insinuating that people are gay. That doesn’t hurt our feelings at all. You know what hurts us Null? BEATING US!!! Ruin our season for us, now that would hurt.
Insults from Ga fans doesn’t bother us because we know you can’t beat us. If you really want to hurt us, beat us during the regular season. I can understand your hate, because if I was owned by a team I would feel the same way.
I have heard the saying only 11 players are on the field at the same time. How does USC do it with their great player? When UGa has a great team loaded with talent, everyone plays together and comes together as a team. If another team has talent, too many egos and everyone wants the ball. If Richt lobbied for his team to be in the NC, then he was a good coach. Someone else does it, then UGA fans have to belittle them.
Keep it up, UGA fans. It just makes the Gator fans proud. We don’t care what Kentucky fans or Vanderbuilt fans say about us because they haven’t beaten us in along time (I’m sure you remember how that feels).LMAO

Jim you are an idiot for giving Bailey a hard time and calling the kid names just b/c he did not pick UGA. What, the guy can’t look around and go see other places and then maybe, just maybe leave Georgia? And for you to say he is avoiding competition leads me to believe your brain is the size of a peanut. If you knew anything about Miami you would know we built our program on competition. The fact is if you are betther than the senior or the other guy, you will play, plain and simple, its how the U was built, its about guys who are not afraid of competition, we lost that w/ Coker over the last few years and Shannon is going to bring it back. So before you go and give an 18 year old kid a hard time go kick yourself in the head.

Why would Fla sign 3 qb’s? The way Tebow runs? He is likely to get hurt at any moment. Besides, you never know who is actually going to come through and be a star. What difference does it make if the quarterbacks are in the same class or a year apart? The question still comes down to how many you have on your roster at one time. Not to mention, if Fla signs them, then UGA, Miami, or FSU can’t. If they are unhappy, then they transfer, most likely to a smaller school where they won’t have to sit out, and you get your scholarship back. Sounds like a good plan to me if you can make it work. I am not even a Florida Fan, certainly not an Urban Meyer fan, but I do appreciate their recrutiing class. Not a Tennessee fan either, but they are having a very, very good year also. Watch out UGA.

GatorHater——I thought that it was pretty damn weird, too, until I did my homwork on the situation. It’s actually seven (7) recruits from the same central Florida high school, Lakeland Senior High School, Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. Five of those seven are rated as 4-star recruits and two as 3-star recruits by Rivals (Scout rates two of them as 5-stars). This all starts to make sense when you learn that LSHS won the Florida 5A high school championship three years in a row, was named the number one high school team in the country by USA Today after the 2005 season, and was nearly named number one again after the 2006 season. Several other LSHS kids have committed to other big-time Division I schools this year. It is a remarkable collection of talent on a single public high school football team (and in a single senior class).
What’s more remarkable is that these kids really wanted to continue to play together. Six of them were among the Gators first eight commitments. The seventh (4/5-star DT John Brown), who just committed, said the deciding factor in picking the Gators was his ability to keep playing with his LSHS teammates at the college level. If most of these seven guys perform at the college level, this is going to be a remarkable story down the road.
BTW, here’s my take on the three QB recruits: One of three red-shirts or changes positions, and the other two compete to be the primary back-up. The third-stringer becomes the kick holder, always keeping the pass-fake option available on short yardage 4th downs. The primary back-up will see significant game time next year, as Meyer fully implements his “quirky” spread offense; given the mix of passing and aggressive running characteristic of likely starter Tim Tebow, Tim is going to periodically get his bell rung or need a sideline breather. Meyer also likes to have a second QB with real game time around; it’s part of his coaching history at three different schools. God forbid the starter gets seriously injured, then the need for primary and secondary QB back-ups becomes apparent. Other than these three recruits and Tebow, the Gators are not likely to carry any other players at the position during the 2007 season; one existing upper-class QB is likely to see playing time at TE/WR.
From what I have heard (including one of the Dawg bloggers on the AJC site, who purportedly knows people inside the UF program), it is not at all apparent which of the three freshman QB recruits has the upper hand. It has even been suggested that recruit Brantley may have a chance to beat out Tebow for the starter’s position. That remains to be seen, but it’s clearly going to be competitive. FYI, Danny Wuerffel was a product of a 3-QB class where he had to compete to be the primary back-up against Eric Kresser; Wuerffel and Kresser played against each other for the state 5A championship in 1992. Kresser transferred as a college senior, was released unconditionally by UF after having been Danny’s primary back-up for 3 years, and won a Division I-AA championship at Marshall while UF and Wuerffel beat FSU for the Division I championship. Yup, that was pretty wierd, too, especially when you find out that Marshall was coached by UF’s former offensive coordinator.

Jeff, your posting epitomizes the Dawg fan I.Q. level. What I am saying is the talent level is getting closer, and that indicates to me that GT will begin to pull away from UGA based upon the fact that UGA is faltering with locking-up those in-state recruits. I also see that Richt is a mediocre coach at best, and get’s schooled by elite NCAA coaches. GT get’s much more out of their talent than UGA. Also, there is a much higher quality of individual that plays for GT, and, I apologize, must say difference in “smartness.” Have a great day Jeff.

Hey, I dont give a rats behind how many QB’s Uf signed this year. Nobody ever questions how “up and Up” it was, only that it did seem like an oddity. My point is that I would personally prefer to have a less highly rated class full of players with a shot of contributing, than having a substantial part of my class (combined 12 of rival.com star index) sitting behind a projected 3 yr starter. Heck sign 2 more. BTW UF will had 5 Qb’s listed on their roster this past year. There is info on your team out there if you would care to learn something about them.

I’m reasonably confident that the Gators are running their programs on the up-and-up since 1990, and I hope UGA is, too, now that the Harricks have moved on.

Tuberville and Meyer have had a great deal of sucess against Richt, as did Zook. Rich Rodriguez did a nice job last year when UGA was completely loaded. He’s lost virtually every big game. Yes it’s nice for a couple of SEC championships during down SEC years, but I think the best is behind him. He coaches down the talent, and UGA should have had at least one NC over the past 5 years. I believe his greatest mistake was going with Greene instead of Shockley. I believe Shockley would have brought a NC to Athens. For that reason, I believe more GA recruits are taking a higher interest and closer look at GT. Face it, GT seems to have less of a problem with diversity at the QB position. Chan Gailey and Giff Smith are truly making in-roads into this state and others that will be more than a one year coup. Can’t wait to see it unfold.

Alta~Dawg——Not sure why you are so surly today, but I hope that it wasn’t me who peed in your Wheaties.
In the spirit of he whose name we dare not speak (#39), I try to factually source my blog posts well (without obnoxiously posting multiple weblinks). I also try to avoid obvious factual errors by reading reliable sources before I make factual assertions that are easily confirmed or refuted. For the Gators’ history and stats, I generally rely on Gatorzone.com (UAA’s official website and its on-line PDF copies of the media guides), Scout.com and Rivals.com.
Yes, the Gators had five QBs on their 2006 roster; but only graduating senior starter (Leak) and his primary freshman back-up (Tebow) were on scholarship. (You can confirm this by a quick review of the last several UF scholarship classes on Scout or Rivals.) Given that the Gators had only one returning scholarship QB, you can make an excellent argument that UF needed to recruit at least two or three scholarship-quality QBs this year. Injuries happen, and not every scholarship recruit turns out to be as good as his high school hype.
Uber Dawg——In response to your point, I have a hypothetical question for you: If Danny Wuerffel had broken his collar bone during the 1995 season, do you think Eric Kresser would have won the Heisman in 1996? I do, but such is the hand of fate.
Not to have a high-value QB back-up in a pass-oriented offense would be the height of coaching incompetence. Say what you will, but the Evil Genius may have been a lot of things, but incompetent is not among them. Unfortunate for Kresser, but fate plays a hand in these things, and those of us who watched two nearly equal quarterbacks compete for three years applauded when the Evil Genius gave Kresser an unconditional release to transfer and start elsewhere as a senior. Both Wuerffel and Kresser were competitors who knew the score when they accepted their scholarships; they had played against each other for the 5A state championship. Spurrier deceived no one; both had more than a legitimate shot at becoming the starter. BTW, the same thing happened to Rex Grossman’s primary back-up (Brock Berlin), who transferred to Miami for his senior year and started for the ‘Canes.
Sorry about your QB issues this past season, but look no further than the ‘06 Gators for a successful platoon QB situation. It can be done. UGA’s QB problems had more to do with inadequate offensive line play than the skills of any of your four QBs.
Life (and college sport) isn’t always fair, but I believe that good things eventually come to good people who spend more time working and less time whining about unfair life is. Eric Kresser got his national championship, too, and Brock Berlin got to start for one of the premier college football programs. I’d say those situation turned out about as well as could be hoped.

Tubberville is 3-3 against UGA since Richt arrived. Seems that the record would indicate both coaches being “schooled” by each other. Meyer is 2-0 in 2 very good games. By the record, yes, by the actual games, no. Rodriguez has played UGA 1 time and beat them. That game was by far no blow out. Against rivals UF, Tennessee, Auburn and Tech in the Richt era, UGA has more victories than losses. You can’t call that losing every big game. Ask around and find out wether Tech fans or UGA fans are happier with their coach and if given the choice you would switch coaches. Bet the resounding answer from Tech fans would be, “no, not really happy with the coach and would trade coaches with UGA every day of the week, any time of day.” Whereas the answer from the vast majority of UGA fans would be, “I am very happy with our coach. Trade coaches with Tech?? Are you joking??? HAHAHA!!” Catch what I am saying here?
You can argue the Greene/Shockley thing all day long, but you cannot argue agains the record that Greene had during his time as the QB for UGA. If I am not mistaken, Greene has the SEC record for most wins as a quarterback…. ever. Looking back and saying “what-if” to that arguement is pointless.
Which year in the last 5 should UGA have won a NC? 2002 would be the best arguement. 13-1, SEC Champs, Sugar Bowl victory over FSU. Didn’t get a shot at the NC because Miami and Ohio State were undefeated. ‘03 LSU beat us twice, clearly a better team. ‘04, nope. ‘05 or ‘06 no. I just don’t see where that arguement comes from.
p.s. Update, what sites are you reading that on? I live in Charleston, SC (20 miles from Summerville) and there is no news about it here.

How is UGA in a downward spiral, we had a tough time this year trying to decide on the most important position in football and found a great player in stafford.

Yeah, the Gators sure did have some close calls in SEC games this year and played their way to 8 victories in 9 conference games (kudos to the Tigers on the exception), but those games better prepared the Gators for tough competition and gave them the confidence to play through bad calls by the refs and other tough breaks. I bet the Buckeyes coach wishes his team had more wins against tougher competition during the regular season; might have better prepared his players to recover from a big-time first-half deficit instead of rolling over and playing possum against the, ahem, “underdog.”

Did you see the game? Luck wasn’t involved. and luck wasn’t involed in the last 15 of 17. Now, I will go back to wishing I was a Gator fan and a winner in life.

I read on here about some dude blowing red neck smoke from Tifton, Georgia. I spent 17 lonnnn…..g years growing up in that town (surrounded by some of the dumbest red necks I will ever meet in my life…and there is no place on earth more “red” than Tifton, Georgia! Guess what was the first thing I did when I graduated from Tift County High (which has to be in the top ten of the worst high schools in America)…was? I packed my bags and got the hell out of that God forsaken, people hating, red neck town (barely avoiding all the beer cans falling out of trucks, on the side of the road, and in everyone’s front yards (cause the only thing you can do in that town is drink to try and ease the misery that comes from living there)!!! Has anyone there learned how to pronouce cement, potato, tomato, ruin, and window yet?

Alta~Dawg——Personally, I always appreciate a calm answer to a serious question … . Besides, I learn as much from the serious rival fans’ critiques of the Gators as I do from the idiot bandwaggoneers. That’s one of the reasons this Atlanta Gator lurks on these AJC blogs; some of these fan bloggers actually have something interesting and informative to say. Granted, you have to sort through a lot of taunts, insults and other silliness, but I try not to take it all personally.
Good thought in consulting the official Gatorzone.com website, but unfortunately the official team roster posted there does not distinguish between scholarship athletes and walk-ons (hence why there are more than a 100 players listed, instead of only the 87 scholarship guys). The official UGA roster posted on the Georgiadogs.com website doesn’t distinguish between the Dawgs’ scholarship and non-scholarship guys, either, and lists approximately 120 UGA team members.
Personally, after getting tormented as tackling dummies all weeks, I think the walk-ons deserve to be listed as full members of their teams without obvious distinctions drawn between the scholarship and non-scholarhip guys on the team rosters. That recognition is the least the schools can do.

Yada Yada Yada. Domination is beating the Dawgs over and over and over and over…again. I will take good luck and a great team all year long! I would rather be lucky than be a Georgia Bulldog and feel the pain of the Gator bite almost every year! Using the luck thing…I guess the Gators were simply unlucky when they lost to Auburn. Oh, shucks, if they hadn’t been unlucky, the Gators would have been 14-0 this year!

bulldawgin4life——-Thanks for your brief recognition of the Gator kids’ recent 8-1 slide through their SEC schedule. LOL
In all seriousness, this Gator fan never claimed “domination,” just a national championship won on the field. Maybe a little bit lucky, too, but you have to be in a position for the “luck” to matter (or just have a very tall, athletic DE whenever you play South Carolina). To me, “domination” implies weak competition, and the Gators were fortunate to have strong competition all season that prepared them for their shot at the title.
As for bad calls, I attended the SEC game at the Dome this year, and I swore that the refs were trying to hand the game to the Hogs on a platter. Arkansas was a good team, but they couldn’t capitalize on the questionable big-yardage pass interference calls because Arkansas wasn’t moving the ball the way they had all season. So, give some credit to the Gators’ defense, too, not just luck. Ask Troy Smith (assuming the ringing in his head has finally stopped).

I’m guessing that “needs based recruiting class” is code word for “not that good” and can also be interchanged with “Wow, whatta we do now?” and is often confused with “glad we got these 6 average O-Linemen and 2 above average O-Linemen… we really needed them.” What is UGA going to do next year when Troupe goes pro?

Richt: 0-1 against Spurrier, 1-2 against the incompetent Ron Zook and 0-2 against Meyer, who had to fill in gaps after Zook got fired. Richt’s a good man, but can’t win against UF. Nothing will change soon—-UF’s loading up with studs for another run at the national title soon. The SEC? Uf will win that easily a bunch of times in the next few years when they get fully stocked with top players.

I think Richt has more wins over UF coming in the Future. I really hope the series gets into a back and forth status. I just don’t want it to stay lopsided. Richt has been closer against meyer than any of the others. A couple of missed field goals in 05 and some droped passes in 06 were the only things holding him back. I think 07 will be a slug fest and another edition of the greatest rivalry in college.

Guys - settle down. These rankings of recruiting classes are just something to do to pass the time. If anyone saw the recent article on the top 100 seniors in high school football from 5 years ago you can understand why I say that. Kregg Lumpkin was in the top 10 or 15, while Reggie Bush was 30-something. Brady Quinn was 96th. It is pretty inconsistenet when it comes to actually predicting the quality of a football team 2 or 3 years later.

I agree with you on the Gator QB situation, one will have to play this year, Tebow can’t carry the ball every play, has to have backup ready. also think one of the other QB’s goes either to WR or DB. Dawgs have a couple that did that A J Bryant and Kelin Jonhson played QB in high school.

Guys, guys, guys. Please give the geeks a break. Their only claim to fame, in recent memory, is what this year “would have been,” which we all heard all year - due to a super weak ACC conference. Those dreams were a bust. Their Coach, who they hate, wants to leave but can’t get another job.
They have lost to a better team 6 years running, which would be more except for bad refs and their own cheating. So, they are reduced to the all time - never ending - song of “we are so much smarter than you.” Since, they are the only team on probation for cheating in that regard….that argument loses some steam too. At the end of the day, fellow Dawgs, their world consists of bashing what they wish they were (us) and constructing flowcharts. They know that one day, they can look forward to a mid-level management position, but no higher, because they are focused on trees and cannot see a forest. So, in short, their world sucks!

The SEC is getting tougher. I still say Coach Richt knows how to sift thru the competition, and in 2008-09, he’ll have a National Championship—A SLAM DUNK!
First of all with Stafford at QB, there is not ONE team in the SEC that can match his talent at QB. There may be only 1-2 teams nationwide that can boast a QB with Stafford-like talent.
UGA can play at 50% ability this coming year and still be a 10-2 team. WAIT until 2008-2009!!!

I saw a report that Little may be reconsidering and even sign with the Dawgs. If that happens, will everyone saying he’s not good enough or tough enough for the SEC and UGA come back on and repeat it? I have have a feeling these same people are all of a sudden going to call it coup for the Dawgs and that he will come in and be All-American in year one and we’re going to win the NC next year. You know who you are. As for (DJ) Stafford, while I’m sure we could have used him I’m actually somewhat happy we turned him down. Send a message to the prima donna players who like the attention and want the indecision and commitment shifting to add to their 15 minutes of fame. Some are so good you have to deal with it, but I agree 100% with shutting the doors on the others.

Florida signs three QB’s who may sit on the bench. Are you kidding ? These are just 3 more DJ Shockley’s. You guys invented the game of drafting #1 players and putting them on the bench. Why are you amazed when FL does it ? What a joke. FL has proven they can kick your asses with their freshmen. The FL-GA game is the most boring game of the year. I’d bet on FL for the next 10 years and will get rich doing it. No wonder every one goes to the game drunk. They know they’re not going to see much of a game.

Did the dawgs really sign a blue collar class- they went after depth on o-line and d-line. They covered the needs of the team and M.Stafford all we need now is a can of stickem for the receivers.

Mehdi foundation intarnational
Mehdi Foundation International (MFI) is a Spiritual Organization with the Offices in the United States, Canada, Europe and through out the world. His Holiness Ra Gohar Shahi is the Awaited Imam Mehdi, Kalki Avatar and Messiah whose Picture has appeared on Hajre Aswad, the Moon and elsewhere. His Holiness preaches Divine Love for all regardless of religion, nationality and race, and to unite entire humanity by the bond of Divine Love. He espouses, “Love for all and hatred for none.” We do not interfere in any country’s politics; however, welfare of humanity is our primary goal. We are against any subversive activities and use of force.
The World is deprived of the recognition of the Awaited Savior due to tyranny, mischief, blasphemy and cheap tactics of Saudi Government. The Saudi Sheiks patronize fund and harbour terrorists’ activities.
Hajre Aswad (the Black Stone) is in Mecca (Hindus call it Maha Shiv Ling) which Adam (Shanker Bhagwan) brought along with Him from the Heaven. The Government of Saudi Arabia managed to obtain a Fatwa (verdict) to belie Gohar Shahi’s Picture now present in Hajre Aswad (Maha Shiv Ling). They stated that the Picture is prohibited in Islam, and then went on to paint Hajre Aswad so that general public will not get to see Gohar Shahi’s Picture.
We question the malicious act of Painting it. If the Picture is prohibited, then how could a prohibitive thing appear on a Sacred Stone such as Hajre Aswad (Maha shiv Ling) in Kaaba? If it was not the Picture there, why was the paint coating done? The Saudis reject the presence of the Picture saying that there was a magic spell on Hajre Aswad (Maha shiv Ling). We would argue that if the Magic can work on Hajre Aswad where is a place for the security of Islam? Where are the Muslims going to find refuge if Kaaba is also under wrath, if Kaaba is also spell-bound and how is the Muslim’s Haj going to be sanctified?
O’ Saudi Sheiks! You are the enemies of Islam, the enemies of God, and arrogant and blasphemous to the Prophet (sas) and Imam Mehdi (as). The Time is not far when Imam Mehdi Syedna Gohar Shahi will seize your Kingdom and Power. Didn’t you read Ahadees about Imam Mehdi? If your tyranny and injustice do not stop, God’s wrath will descend upon you. Oil and wealth in your Kingdom is a bounty and blessing due to Hajre Aswad.
The ritual of Haj is mandatory for the entire humanity according to the Qur’an whereas the Saudis have restricted its access to the Muslims only. They must remove this ban. The most important item of Pilgrim ritual is kissing and venerating Hajre Aswad, and without this, Haj is incomplete and waste. Since Saudi Government has painted Hajre Aswad to cover up, the Pilgrims are kissing the layer of the paint. This is depriving them of the most important item of Haj ritual. There is a Prophetic Tradition that whosoever will kiss Hajre Aswad with veneration and love, it will be for the forgiveness of sins and intercession on the Day of Judgment. The Saudi Government is responsible for making Pilgrimage of millions of Muslims null and void. Islam is the victim of the creed of Wahabi Sect through their preaching and conspiracy. As such, Islam is finished now. Also, the Saudi Government has removed Hajre Aswad from its location with a fear of losing it. Hjare Aswad must be handed over to the custody of its rightful owner, the Last Caliph Imam Mehdi Ra Gohar Shahi.
The purpose of this Rally is to protest against painting Hajre Aswad, its removal from its location, and to serve notice of the pending Allah’s wrath. Also, the custody of Hajre Aswad be handed over to Imam Mehdi Ra Gohar Shahi.
