You’ve got a lot of nerve to show up now acting like you were really behind the Dawgs all along when, in reality, you were doing everything you could to undermine the team. I still think that you are a plant from Tech or someplace else.

Please do yourself a favor and try to gain a little perspective, and do me a favor and fulfill your previous assertion to refrain from responding to my posts.

                • Carolina, let me correct some “facts” of yours. First, about the Mayor’s self-worth and position within this blog… Mayor most certainly isn’t what one would consider a Disney Dawg. He walks to his own beat with is own opinions and he doesn’t give a damn what others think of it. But what I’ve come to see from him is that he is a true fan that cares what is best for this team and actually understands prespective within a football season and team, unlike you and others around here. If winning MNC’s were so damn easy then everyone would have them, wouldn’t they?

                  And yes, you and Skeptic and the others do undermine this program. How much you do is impossible to say, but if you don’t think negative thoughts and constant bitching and griping don’t affect anything, then try starting a business surrounded by your types.

                  Feels satisfying to be a Damn Good Dawg today, don’t it Mayor?!

                  You have a strange understanding of what constitutes a fact, but so be it. And your business analogy is simply nonsensical…this is a blog, not a business. Posters on this blog aren’t part of a team attempting to complete a task. You seem to suffer the same self delusion as the mayor; you aren’t part of the Georgia football team, you’re a fan. That is all. There is no cause and effect between your thoughts and actions, and the success or failure of the team.

                  But it is great to be a Dawg today!

      Here’s a great idea, why don’t we get behind our team for the WLOCP instead of calling for pitchforks and rushing to set fire to the entire football program? They won the damn game people and it is conceivable that they can beat a GAYtor team that just came off an emotional victory. I know it’s hard for all you “experts” on here to grasp but teams do evolve (and granted, they sometimes devolve) and one week’s performance doesn’t exactly predict the next weeks’ performance. Granted it was Kentucky, but there is a lot of great potential on this team to build on, instead of focusing on just the negative consider a few things that might give hope for next week and the rest of the season… This defense still hasn’t played consecutive games with the same personnel. I personally am very excited about Jordan Jenkins’ play. If he continues his great play and we can get Jarvis Jones back healthy next week then I’m confident this D will show alot better next week. .AM’s performance last night was outstanding! I have to go back to the D Greene days to recall seeing a QB on the field with that much control and accuracy. This is very postive for our prospects in any game and if this Oline jells a little more then he can absolutely carve up any defense. I am also impressed with these receivers, even without Bennett they are the most talented and deep that I’ve ever seen at UGA. I still believe we are just scratching the surface on the weapon we have in Gurshall and Malcome looks like he can thrive in the role of closer when we need to get tough yards for a first down and run the clock out in tight games. Come on people, its the WORLD’s LARGEST OUTDOOR COCKTAIL PARTY- try to enjoy it!!!! no reason to give in on this game before its played.

        Hey Big Ones III – you have obviously not read enough of my posts to call me out, Jack, but since you did, chomp on this:

        **I predicted the Dawgs would “crush” Florida on a post right here on GTP either yesterday or the day before.**

        I come here to try and understand what I’m seeing better and to comment on it in a way that seems truthful and civil at the same time. Showing up here and squeaking “go dawgs!” on Saturday afternoons and never thinking beyond that seems like a colossal waste of time and a very boring idea for a blog. If you take the civil criticism out of the equation, that’s what you’re left with. I’m pretty sure I don’t complain too much about losses here – I only expect our guys to behave like gentlemen, to play to their potential, and to give their all every time out…and our coaches to scheme to their potential, too.

        So you can take your Nellie Oleson finger-wagging elsewhere. I always support this team and take great pains to show restraint with other commenters, players, and coaches, You hall monitors who feel the need to coach the rest of us on what it means to be a “real fan” are getting pretty tedious.

                If you can honestly say that you didn’t think that there were top to bottom, fundamental issues affecting this team, I don’t know that we can carry on an adult conversation. And one game in Jacksonville is not going to change that.

                What it can do, however, is be the catalyst for change and help to identify the problems.

      • CD, its probably wasn’t fair for me to signal out certain commentors on this blog so I do apologize to you for that- I guess the alcohol got the best of me last night. I do understand and sometimes share the emotion of being frustrated and let down by a team that you feverously support, but I can’t understand why supposed fans can’t let the season marinate and enjoy the ride while it lasts. Football season is way too short to try to tear things up before letting it play out, and I’ll never understand (and have a hard time forgiving) why we have so many “fans” that are so negative about our coaches and team while we have major goals still left to play for.
        Anyways, enjoy the moment! Its great to get a victory over the hated enemy and let’s hope our beloved dawgs continue to crush their dreams this season by winning the rest of the way out. Its about damn time we gave it back to those guys! Way to go Dawgs!!!!!!!!!

              I’ve never once recommended firing CMR – not once. But I think if somebody has an argument for that, and they present that argument politely, there is no reason that conversation can’t be within the bounds of what we talk about here, unless we hear differently from The Senator.

              I get angry at the people who are never satisfied with our players and coaches and do nothing but throw bombs. But I get equally annoyed at the thought police who patrol these halls looking to label anyone with a criticism as a “hater”.

              It is extra sad when we lose because the Dismal Dawgs leap upon a single loss as a reason to show up and waggle their antlers at the positive posters. But it is also a little sad when we win the game and can’t enjoy it together because the Disney Dawgs see all previous criticism – much of it still valid, of course – as “hatred”, and think the win is some sort of moral, cosmic justification for their point of view.

              Bottom line – this was a great win for the Dawgs, we could all do a better job controlling the tone we use to criticize the program and *each other*. With the exception of a couple of posters, I’m pretty sure the Dismal Dawgs – and I don’t even count myself in their number – don’t want to see the Dawgs lose to justify their positions, it would be nice to see them get the benefit of the doubt of simply having a different outlook on the state of the program instead of being labeled as traitors, etc.

                The coach-firing portion of my comment was diected more toward the tenor of comments here since the South Carolina game, rather than at you specifically. But I will say that there are a number of posters here who only post positive comments about anything UGA-related when we win. Any loss is enough for them to immediately rehash the same old arguments for why Richt, et al., deserve to be shown the door, or should have been shown the door in 2006, 2007, 2008 etc. While I agree that the tone has gotten too ugly around here lately, I think that the idea that what is said on blogs doesn’t affect the team is laughable. Bloggers are becoming regular commenters and guests on national sports shows, and blog comments are being referred to on the same venues. Prospective recruits and current players do pay attention to the Internet, and airing venom against a coach and players in a public forum (which this most certainly is) is exceptionally counterproductive to our team’s success.

                By the way, none of this is directed at you specifically.

                  I agree there are a few dirtbags who – weirdly – only show up after the Dawgs lose to gloat about being right – that must surely be cold comfort, and I’m not a fan of that crowd, either.

                  But the frustration with the team not being prepared or showing intensity in big games is not statistical cherry-picking or knee-jerk reactions to single games. Although a loss naturally brings both flaws in the team and frustrations to the surface.

                  But I think it’s seriously unfair to hang any recruiting issues on blog posters. That is that tail wagging the dawg, so to speak. The team plays, the coaches coach, and we react to them, not the other way around. If the team wins and all the other program intangibles are positive, they’ll continue to get great recruits. If the team loses and we fall short on the intangibles, we will get fewer recruits. I don’t think blogs comments make ‘Bama what they are, nor Illinois what they are, either.

                  But if you’re right, and folks are following what we say – don’t both negative and positive blog posting help incentivize our coaches and players to improve, and thereby improve our program and improve our recruiting? If we have the power you suggest, shouldn’t we be both carrot and stick, to push the program to greatness? And if we only say happy things, shouldn’t they assume we are 100% happy and continue doing whatever it is they’re doing?

                  I’m actually 90% happy with our program. I’d rather lose with a good fellow like CMR than win with a dirtbag. But I follow GA football and also like to analyze stuff, so the 10% is also very interesting to me. I still think that’s what this comments section is for….

                  I guess when I read some of the incessantly negative comments on here, they strike as being the text equivalent of egging a player’s house: it serves no real purpose other than to make the one who does it feel better, and it reflects poorly on the rest of the fan base. I don’t believe in sunshine-pumping, but I do believe in seeing the good AND the bad, not just the bad. I would much rather both sides be able to engage in intelligent debate, but as I said on another thread, the pro-Richts vs. the anti-Richts are becoming like political parties that don’t leave any middle ground for anyone. And if it comes down to throwing in my lot with one or the other, it will always be with the Disney Dawgs.

If Richt is fired any time in the next decade or so, he will be coaching at another big school before the ink is dry on a new UGA coach’s contract. His coaching IS his mission and his ministry.

    So much to say, but can’t quite articulate the feeling. Two years in a row was a big milestone for Richt in this game. Jarvis Jones won the game, Shawn Williams saved the season. As ugly as it was, we beat the #2 team in the nation and the Florida Gators. Sweet, sweet, sweet win. I’d say this is Richt’s signature win against Florida because it was the seonc win in a row, and they were ranked so high when he beat them. The ugliness just doesn’t win, and I don’t care if we lose to every other team we play the rest of the season. That sentiment will change tomorrow, but right now I don’t care.

    My wife is doing the Susan G. Kohmen 3 day walk for the cure this weekend in Tampa so after she walked 20 miles today, we went to a sports bar filled with gator fans to watch the second half. On Driskels run that got called back for an illegal shift, they had all been chanting Tebow Tebow. I don’t know what a graduated player has to do but after the big sack on the next play, I chanted it back to them. They really didn’t appreciate the gator chomp after the final fumble recovery and it was pobably good that my sweet little wife led me to the door as I sang Glory Glory to old Georgia!!!!

    I haven’t been happy with the effort at times but the boys came to play tonight. Bless Shawn Williams for having the courage to speak up and bless the defense for answering the call!

      Here’s a great idea, why don’t we get behind our team for the WLOCP instead of calling for pitchforks and rushing to set fire to the entire football program? They won the damn game people and it is conceivable that they can beat a GAYtor team that just came off an emotional victory. I know it’s hard for all you “experts” on here to grasp but teams do evolve (and granted, they sometimes devolve) and one week’s performance doesn’t exactly predict the next weeks’ performance. Granted it was Kentucky, but there is a lot of great potential on this team to build on, instead of focusing on just the negative consider a few things that might give hope for next week and the rest of the season… This defense still hasn’t played consecutive games with the same personnel. I personally am very excited about Jordan Jenkins’ play. If he continues his great play and we can get Jarvis Jones back healthy next week then I’m confident this D will show alot better next week. .AM’s performance last night was outstanding! I have to go back to the D Greene days to recall seeing a QB on the field with that much control and accuracy. This is very postive for our prospects in any game and if this Oline jells a little more then he can absolutely carve up any defense. I am also impressed with these receivers, even without Bennett they are the most talented and deep that I’ve ever seen at UGA. I still believe we are just scratching the surface on the weapon we have in Gurshall and Malcome looks like he can thrive in the role of closer when we need to get tough yards for a first down and run the clock out in tight games. Come on people, its the WORLD’s LARGEST OUTDOOR COCKTAIL PARTY- try to enjoy it!!!! no reason to give in on this game before its played.

      One play we had was a cut block after the whistle (on Nixon). It looked like dirt and he was fortunate that the injury didn’t stop him from returning. I don’t like dirty hits. They show little regard for the other person’s life and fear of their playing abilities. It was deliberate at his lower legs and from the back. It doesn’t prevent the enjoyment of the entire game, but it isn’t the type of individual play that I laud either.

        Cojones, the hit on Nixon was a direct result of a cheap shot by his teammate #72 Harrison. He hit the GA player (can’t remember who it was may have been Jordan Jenkins) after the play was over and hit him in the back, which knocked him into Nixon. Gary Danielson called him out on the broadcast as his cheap shot resulted in his own player getting his knew rolled up. So, ironically, the dirty play on that incident was from the Gators.

    I think the roles have been reversed in this series. Muschamp wants so badly to beat UGA that the Florida came out tight and were playing not to lose, like we used to against Spurrier and Meyer. The result was a game in which the Gators could not get out of their own way and kept shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers and boneheaded penalties. We could be witnessing the beginning of a glorious run against UF.

    So happy to see the Richt and the Dawgs finally step up and win a game against a favored opponent. Hopefully now that Murray has the “big game” monkey off his back he can settle down and be even better in the future.

    Also, the Dawgs are 2-0 against Florida since 2011 (if they can cherry pick arbitrary time periods, why can’t we?)!

  58. I’ve always known that I disliked UF fans, but for some reason felt the need to remind myself so I went to a couple of their forums…and saw some of the whiniest, childish, meanspirited, and stupidest comments I’ve ever seen on any fan forum: and I’ve read most of them one time or another. One douchebag actually posted that he hoped the whole state of GA would get destroyed by tornadoes while another one said that any UF player that offered a hand to help up a UGA player after a play should be benched.

    And of course it is physically and mentally impossible for any of them to give credit to UGA for winning, it’s all because they lost the game. One guy said if they didn’t have the turnovers it would have been a 40 point blowout or some such crap. And UGA is a shitty team…of course they don’t have the brains or logic to realize that makes them an even shittier team, and they hope we lose to Ole Miss or Auburn not to bolster their chances of going to Atlanta, but just out of spite. I guess if UGA loses another game than the Dawgs are even shittier so that somehow makes it better that they lost to them.

    I’m aware this type of crap goes on all over the place with internet tough guys, but like I said, I’ve read the forums/boards of most southern teams at one time or another, and never seen such poor losers as Gator “fans”.

        • AthensHomerDawg

          I believe it was. There was some concern that the blood flow was diminished for a period of time post injury. Anytime you jump and come down on one foot before the other foot you run that risk. You are especially vulnerable while on an uneven surface. Robert jumped playing volley ball in the sand. Landing poorly. Lattimore’s second injury happened while he had a defensive man draped across his back (weight) and a second defensive player struck his lower leg from the side. From the one and only time I viewed the video it looked very severe and suggested a spiral fracture of the tibia as well.

          Bennett tearing his ACL while planting and cutting running routes is one thing. Lattimore last year tore his ACL while engaged with a blocker with that blockers weight on his upper body. His was also a twisting injury.

          Edwards was injured a lot. He took a med red shirt at one point. We had a kid on the team from California that dislocated his knee as a freshman. He spent the next 4 or 5 years finishing his degree and trying to get back on the field. I think they gave him a couple snaps before he graduated. His injury also involved some nerve damage. Very scary. The fact that he got back to nearly normal is a tribute both to his courage and UGa. Seriously.

    Senator, can you put up a pic of Muschamp’s face when he had murder in his eyes for one of his players who had just gotten a penalty for moving before the snap. It is one of the most hilarious scenes ever shown on TV. He looked exactly like Jack Nickelson when he was at his peak demonic in “The Shining”……”Heeeeeeerrrrrr’s Willy!”

    One of my grandkids wants to be Muschamp on halloween. I told him “no way”… You’ve got to have boundries…limits on how far you let kids go.

    HELP me with this….I just looked at “Sporting News” link to the polls. They are showing (BCS) Georgia moved up one place from 11 to 10. Florida, now at 7-1 (same as Georgia) stays at number 2 behind Bama…..Notre Dame moved up inside of 5. How in the heck does one team beat the number ten team (ND over OK) and move up while the team that beats number two moves to number 10? Whew…this is getting real smelly. Georgia should absolutley be ranked ahead of Florida…shouldn’t they? Instead Florida is nine spots ahead of Georgia???? Someone straighten me out on all of this. Thanks

    The poll shows Georgia moved up one to tenth with next weeks opponent as Mississippi. It must be screwed up. Probably had Corso and Granny loading the data or something..

    Imagine this…not only does Georgia control it’s own destiny in the SEC East, Georgia now controls it’s own destiny for the National Championship.
    ….I think>>..LSU is ahead of Georgia…If Bama beats LSU,, Georgia moves up real tight. If Oregon or ND or K State lose, things get even better….but after running the rest of the schedule, If UGA could pull the upset over Bama in Atlanta, they would almost certainly be ranked one or two…..After all, Georgia will have then beaten the previously ranked number two team (Gators) and the number one team (Bama)….Long shot? yep, but this team is growing and is going to peak at the end of the season…
    Have a great Monday, everyone! It’ll be fun to go to work tomorrow. The bulk of fans in the west Georgia area are UGA, and AU, followed by GT and Bama. If you don’t bring up “college football”, it probably won’t be mentioned. Wear something red.

      Georgia is 7, right behind LSU. So one of the spots ahead of the Dawgs will clear (probably LSU). ND and Oregon both have to play USC (hate to pull for the Kiffen, but I have to). KState plays OSU. If we win out (including the SECCG, we could possibly make the BCS game.

      However, I’m worried about Ole Miss (very improved), and I just figure Auburn will put their whole season on beating us (they know they won’t touch Bama). So there’s plenty to worry about before the BCS polls.

    • Actually from what I was reading we want Bama to go 12-0 convincingly and then beat them in the SECCG, though supposedly the computers would still be a problem if there’s undefeated teams like Notre Douche around.

  80. Dawgs are in at 6. FU is 7th.

    The rub for me is Cackalackacky at 8. Two losses, including a 33-point ass-whuppin’ by FU. They beat Vandy by 4 and UT by 3. Thass some serious Cock-love by the BCS.

    BTW – I noticed that Mark May gave the first helmet sticker to a Dawg. He said it was an easy choice to give it to Jarvis Jones, but instead he was giving it to Shawn Williams for calling out the defense and getting them fired up.
