At this point, you’re arguing semantics. You did not explicitly state that Mark Richt made disparaging comments about his opponents. However, due to the fact that your comment was posted in a thread regarding statements Richt made at a booster meeting, it isn’t unreasonable to conclude that by stating Bobby Ross did not disparage his opponents, you are concurrently implying that Richt did.
I’m at a loss as to why your opinion is so strongly set as to Richt’s classlessness. The only examples you’ve given are the endzone celebration and the guarantee of a win this year in Jacksonville, neither of which should be considered indicative of the man’s character as a whole. If you’re posting for the sheer sake of argument, that’s fine, but please provide more examples of how the man is classless before making such strong statements. Until then, I will continue to consider the man who adopts orphans from Russia, feeds dozens of players in his home at Thanksgiving, consistently takes the high road regarding media issues (Taxigate), and visits a former player in jail as a class act.

Whoever asked Coach Richt that question is a moron. Do we expect our coaches now to be gridiron versions of the Amazing Kreskin? Shall we hold them to predictions made in April about the upcoming fall season?
“Uh, Coach Richt, I would just like to know which games on the schedule this year we will lose for sure?”
“Coach, which one of our players is going to win the Heisman this fall?”
You might as well ask him for point spreads, too.
As for Coach Richt, what’s he supposed to say to THAT dumb ass question?
“Uh, well, ummmm, gee, Florida’s really good, and we haven’t done so well against them since the Reagan Administration, but I think if we’re really, really lucky and I don’t piss Corch Meyers off, and the Florida players are a little overconfident, we might be able to make a game of it down there.”
I don’t see why this is an issue, or anyone’s blasting Richt. Why shouldn’t he project confidence? He didn’t call a press conference to announce that come November, the Gators will be sleeping with the fishes, or to declare a blood feud, or even to suggest the Gators “will get handled.” Some dumb ass at a booster meeting asked him a question, and he answered it the only way a coach can answer it: Yes, we will beat them.
You think Urban or Saban is going to filibuster if someone asks them if they’re going to beat a particular team on the schedule this year? People want to pile on Richt for being too nice, and then when he answers a question straight up, they want to make it out to be like he said something bad about someone’s mama.
The Gators don’t like that? Who cares? I don’t want my coach going around popping off like he’s Paul Johnson, but I don’t want him to act scared that he’s going to spook other teams, or offend their delicate sensibilities, by admitting the stunning secret that we intend to beat them this year.
Now, UGA just has to back it up. Which, as it happens, we were going to have to do whether Coach Richt said anything or not.
