“Those 13 jerseys are going to be around a long time.”-- Brock Bowers, The Athletic, 1/10/23
The final two minutes of the AU game were disturbing, to say the least. A team that’s ahead by 18 first takes an obvious cheap shot on Murray, then two plays in a row, Auburn players are ejected for throwing fists. What does that say about the football program at AU? To hell with the Newton issue; at least he plays clean football.

It says Auburn is an aggressive team with aggressive coaches.
Can’t say the same for passive Georgia…I must say this is the first time I have ever seen a LOSING team take a knee to end a game.
This was a beatdown into submission.

Would you have preferred to see an all-out brawl break out? I think not. I see that game ending gesture as one with a higher regard for decent, clean play.
BTW–What kind of coach puts a thug back into the game immediately he draws a flag for an obvious and vicious hit? Who lets a thug back into the game after a late spear to the back on a defenseless quarterback?
These actions speak for themselves.

I also think Richt was trying to make sure nobody else got hurt, particularly the backup QB, who might have to play against Tech. I do not fault him at all for taking a knee.

Fairley was cheapshotting like he has all year. What goes around comes around. He will get his due by someone. I think Ben Jones was putting the “pighold” on him. Also, Verne and Danielson make me sick. They latch on to the “hot” player(s) of the moment and perform oral pleasure on him all game. BTW, it did even make me sick when those players were Pollack and Greene.
So what! Newton smiled when he was on the field. They were winning the game. Also, Danielson is a moron if he thinks Fairley was being blocked into Murray. He was just so far into his oral pleasure he couldn’t stop himself.

Good God, what a disgraceful show by Auburn. And at least Newton “plays clean?” Did you not see him slug the defender on that run in the first quarter?

We lost, as I thought we would. OK. But I hope to hell this game would at least show the rest of the world what kind of program the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen/whatever-they-are-this-year truly are. Any punishment they suffer at the hands of the NCAA is too good for the lot of them.

I agree with you 99%. Trooper is a class A dbag but in his defense he was trying to grab Fairley’s hand not give him a high five. I watched it a couple of times to be sure. Other than that, yes you are right. He is great at waving a towel and giving chest bumps to players though!

How was Newton not flagged for waving to the crowd in the endzone after every touchdown? AJ looks the wrong direction last year against LSU and is flagged.
Also, CBS was deeeeeeep up Newton’s ass all game long, which I can understand, but some of their comments were real head scratchers. AJ pushed off on his long TD? Richt was responsible for the “chippy” play? The last TD by Auburn wasn’t even worth a look?

This begs the continuing question: what on earth is the officiating crew doing allowing play like this to continue? Are the fools blind/paid/stupid?

We came out and had a great 1st quarter, getting up 21-7.
After that, Auburn absolutely destroyed us 42-10.
As soon as we shriveled up like cowards in the 2nd quarter (conservative offense, running out the clock when we had a minute and a timeout, giving up an onside kick to start the 2nd half) the game was completely over.
Against a better team, you CANNOT let off the gas. This game is another huge, glaring example of why Bobo needs to be fired, and possibly Richt as well.

If you understood football at all, you’d know that padding stats against crap defenses doesn’t make for a good offense.
Our offense doesn’t deliver at critical moments, like:
1) maintaining some momentum in the 2nd half
2) doing something at the end of a half when you have a minute and a timeout.
3) Getting a first down or two when your D desperately needs a break (SC, Ark, zillions of other games the last few years).
Its about more than just points.
And the teams we’ve been scoring tons of points on had crap defenses.
Oh, and we still lost to 6 of them.

Anyway, yes, any event that happens once in a hundred years is going to be due to a confluence of favorable conditions. If you want to argue that it happened only *in spite* of Bobo’s (in)competence, ah, ok, you are certainly entitled to that opinion.

We got blown out because we shriveled.
We may still have lost, but at least we wouldn’t have been embarrassed.
The failure to do anything on offense in the 2nd quarter was a disaster.
The decision to do NOTHING with 1 minute and 1 timeout at the end of the half was a total lack of testicular fortitude.
Giving up the onside kick to start the half was embarrassing, not to mention being partially caused by the stupid choice not to start the game with the ball when we won the toss.
Keep making excuses for Bobo if you want to keep sucking.

Yeah. There is, and has been, something stinky going on with the football refs about UGA for years. I know, I know, it sounds like a cop-out. But I have been watching it for years. UGA lost the UGA-ARK game this year as a direct result of a no-call on a helmet to helmet hit on our QB. Should have been first and 10 at the ARK 35 with 1 minute to go. Instead a no-call. The lost helmet fumble by Ealey– another blown call. NCAA rules state that the ball is dead when the runner’s helmet comes off, precisely to keep players from diving for a ball bare-headed against players wearing helmets. Should have been UGA ball in the 1. They got that call wrong even when they had about 10 minutes during a TV review to think about it. Remember the national furor over the made-up “celebration” call in the ’09 LSU-UGA game? The refs currently appear to have stopped the flagrant flagging of UGA for phantom fouls as a direct result of the blowback from that. The no-call is their ticket now ’cause the refs can’t get into hot water as much. The players on the other teams know it, too. That’s why they do the stuff they do. Maybe it has something to do with the end zone stomping in ’07 like so many have been saying but I think it has been going on longer than that. The thing is that it really isn’t that hard to prove. You get tapes of all the games and hire an expert (former highly respected ref) to analyze the pattern. I feel certain it is the same refs who are doing this over and over although there are a several of them, not just a couple. You figure out exactly who, you compile a tape of bad calls on each and you get them fired. If the head ref won’t do it he must be in on it (I always thought Redding was anyway) and you get him fired. If Slive won’t do it, you put together a coalition of Presidents from other schools and you get rid of Slive. Trouble is our President, Mike Adams, is such a limpdick that he probably couldn’t pull it off. I hope McGarity sees the light about this. He doesn’t strike me as the type to take it laying down.
