The buffet will try to rise above the muck and mire this morning.
- What a difference a year makes – ESPN article about mediocrity at the bottom of the SEC mentions Florida, omits Georgia.
- A couple of days pass, and the Ole Miss rumor mill is already delusional.
- “No one wanted to be that team at Georgia that ended the Mark Richt era.”
- If you’re interested, the “1980 Dawgs” folks are putting on a “Bulldog Legends” Film, Photography & Cocktails event for Georgia fans this coming Saturday, November 12th, both before and after the Georgia vs. Auburn Game at the Hotel Indigo in Athens.
- Georgia 34, Auburn 19. And Steele says Georgia 34, Auburn 17.
- Aaron Murray, you threw five touchdown passes in a half! What are you going to do next? “I’m going to
Disney WorldMellow Mushroom with my family to watch the Arkansas-South Carolina game.” - Ray Ray Armstrong, Tweetin’ dumbass.
- And Central Florida tries to slip its NCAA troubles in under the Penn State cloud cover.
- This is as close as you’ll ever hear Mark Richt tell the media to kiss his ass.
- I presume this means Craig James is in town.

Given the way suspensions have been handled this season (i.e. swept under the rug because Richt “loves” these kids), I do not think it is a bad question. I do not understand Richt’s response.

Yall have no idea how accurate you were. Couldn’t get my “man” on the phone, so bright and early, the Amnesian had my degenerating arthritic ass up a ladder. Her precious plants have been saved for another year. She caught me looking longingly at one with my pipe and lighter in my hand. Then she told me it was some bullstar plant from Sud Am. that grew in crotches…..of trees. Didn’t finish until afternoon , but the smoked turkey sandwich hit the spot. Smoked it last night. Had the damndest time splicing a 12″x 12″ sheet of Bugler papers (don’t have a pipe that big) together to contain the smokin’ material to put inside the turkey (a technique I picked up from that Rasta dude on SNL years ago). As I was holding the turkey and banging his pygiostyl (pygidium in invertebrates) on a board , the ‘nesian asked what I was doing and I told her, “Making a blunt, honey”. She shrugged her shoulders and I went outside and smoked the turkey.
Anyway, never adult moment around here. Anyway, I would say “I’m touched” by yall’s concern, but the wife mutters that same phrase about me all the time except sometimes it’s in Tagalog. By the way, does anyone know what “babui” (bah boo ee) means?

In Cojones absence allow me to respond, not that I could do justice to what he would say……Why the hell should CMR or any coach for that matter answer any reporter’s question that is pointedly phrased in a smart-assed manner? The implication of the question as asked is that UGA is some sort of rogue program that has guys doing things wrong all the time, particularly without meaningful punishment, when in fact the opposite is true. Go talk to Dooley at UT or former UF coach Irving Meyers if you want to make an insinuation like that because at least it would fit. Even then it is bad form to ask that question that way to them. Myers would punch you. Dooley would turn loose his momma on you. Besides, where exactly in the constitution does it say that a HC has to answer questions posed by reporters anyway. (See Spurrier, Steve).

Nick doesn’t have time for much shit, especially since his collapse v. Das Hat, but he would have made time to disappear that reporter. Irvin would have 37F’d him.

Way to go Coach Richt. I love that response. Sometimes when you ask a disrpectful and stupid question, you should expect a good answer. And the reporter got one. Just wonder if there was another reporter there who could translate it for him. In translation, no doubt, “kiss our ass.”
Coach Richt is without a doubt one of the most professionl coaches not only in the SEC, but the NCAA. He may never get to the record of a Bowden or a Paterno, and frankly I would not want him to. Coach Richt has a very clear compass in life. Sometimes I think he is a little to leant with players, but I can understand that. I am not on the field or in the arena…he sees, hears, senses, talks, and responds to these young men. We do not. And that is good, because most would not have a 10 year coaching record like his.
Do you think he would have let a situation like what has happened with Paterno, PSU staff, and PSU administration to happen. Not hardly. Think the Athens police would have been on the scene to peel Coach Richt off a coach with such conduct and acts. I do no think Coach Richt would let anyone abuse any kid without him beating your ass to a pulp. Hopefully, that reporter saw and heard the moral compass needle of Coach Richt. No doubt Coach Richt has a deep love and respect for the development of young men and women.

Nope, I remembered the same thing when you mentioned it. I recalled looking at the score, feeling my heart sinking at how the game was lost, but saying, “At least they came to play.” Lots of mistakes and just really unfortunate bounces of the ball, but they weren’t deflated or crying from losing to Boise. And they looked WAY better against SC than they did the week prior. I wasn’t happy about losing, but I was a lot happier with our team (and Coach).

No I agree. I think everyone in the Bulldog nation realized SC got lucky as hell to win the game. GA beat them everywhere but turnover and scoreboard. But that last one is the only stat that ever matters.
But think about it, the team looked good and fluid that game. Offensively SC could not stop GA. Look how good that defense has played since then. Of course, they have actually played worse offenses than GA has played, with the exception of Arkansas. And like I told the gamecock dude last week, the only two teams they have played with a passing attack all season was GA and Arkansas and that defense is bad against the pass.

Re: The ESPN article on Richt
I am soooo sick of hearing last season referred to as “disastrous”. Yes, for a football program like Georgia 6-7 is a way, way sub-par season. However, it is not PAR for this coach. It was one stupid year, where we had a losing record by ONE game.
And if
“…To say Richt’s seat in Athens was hot was a grave understatement”,
then writing
“…It was nearly engulfed in flames after that 45-42 loss to the Gamecocks in Week 2.”
is ridiculous hyperbole.
In fact, Richt’s seat was hotter after the Boise game, but we saw so much fight in those kids during the SC game, that Richt’s stock actually went up after SC, not down.
In my less polite moments, sometimes I wish the bastards would get what they want, and Richt would resign at the end of the year.
