Yes, this is dumb on so many levels.
3. Georgia did what Georgia does. This. THIS! This is why Georgia fans hate Mark Richt. Two weeks ago, I praised Mark Richt and declared him off the hot seat. I’m an idiot.
Just when Richt has earned the good graces of the Georgia fan base, he goes and acts like he’s trying to lose to North Texas. I know it was raining, but it was raining for both teams and you can’t expect North Texas to play nice, even if you are paying them roughly $1 million to be there. I mean, heck, “mean” is right there is their mascot – Mean Green.
Is it all Richt’s fault? Probably not, but who else is there to blame, really?
The final score – 45-21 – makes it look like Georgia won comfortably, but that is misleading. The Bulldogs had a punt blocked and North Texas tied the game at 21 in the third quarter. Then Georgia scored 24 unanswered points to make it look like a convincing win, which is the most Georgia thing any team can do.
This is why Georgia fans rant and rave about Mark Richt. They have no confidence in what that team will do, because it’s never done anything to give them reason to. A loss to LSU next week will get that hot seat burning again. I think Richt kind of likes it. What other explanation is there?
Well, that it’s idiotic to overreact to a 24-point win comes to mind.
Try as hard as you like, but a segment of the fan base bitching about Richt, or booing after a brain-dead special teams snafu does not a hot seat make. I’m afraid, though, that it does lead to the media drawing unfortunate impressions about us.

Not really a game there.
Oh and the other thing they have been harping on is the poor performance of TG. I guess an extra 10 yards (to push him over the magical 100 level) would have been enough to alter that tune a bit – again, ignoring taking the 350+ passing yards NT was willing to give up….

I was having a conversation with someone the other day about the Dawgs, and he asked me what I thought about Richt. My reply was simply, “What do you mean? He’s a solid coach, and he pulled us out of a nosedive.” He also spent some time suggesting Murray was good for at least one INT a game or a fumble on a sack, but he neglected to mention that he was (at the time) closing in on 100 TD passes and numerous school and conference records.
It’s easy to forget that there can only be one champion a year, and I know I’m tired of the Dawgs being close so often. I’ve got to think (and hope) that the chips will fall soon.
To think, though, that we could bring in a decent coach after canning somebody like Mark Richt is ridiculous. I’m really surprised that we’re still even having this conversation after the last two years, but I guess the insecurity is really deep with some Dawgs fans (and those outside the program who just like to exploit that insecurity).

This game is a perfect Rorschach test to determine what type of fan/observer you are. We won 45-21.

I have to admit that during the game I was in the first camp. Later in the day, however, I looked at the stat sheet. Yes, stats can be misleading, but any 24-point victory in which your offense put up 45 points and over 600 yards while your defense held the opponent to 7 points is not “closer than it appeared.”

Second – We kind of deserve this treatement. How many of the commets here after South Carolina said something to the effect of “I’m glad I was wrong” or even better “I’ll have to eat crow on this one.” My reply was, “Isn’t it supposed to be opposing fans who eat crow.” to which I never got a reponse.

Some problems just continue to be a constant, such as slow starts to the season, missed tackles especially early in the season, and special teams mistakes. Some were encouraged by last years SECCG, most debate if the ball should be spiked or the play run, the real question is why didn’t the coaches have the team prepared with a plan for one or other.
LikeLike
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or trolling, but our coaches ABSOLUTELY had a definitive plan on the spot at the end of the SECCG. Your assertion that our coaches didn’t have a plan and our players weren’t prepared is COMPLETELY baseless. Our coaches made an intentional and conscientious decision NOT to spike the ball with a specific play in mind, and our players lined up and ran the play. There was no confusion, and the play was not a clusterfuck, from an execution standpoint. What enused was an excellent play by the Alabama defense which resulted in a completely fluky ending. To assert that our coaches didn’t have a plan is irresponsible and damaging to our program. This is EXACTLY why people like a no name newsreporter from Kansas City continue to perpetuate negative things about our program. It starts from within. Take a look at this post from Bluto and tell me we didn’t have a plan.

UGA’s style is not fancy it is not gimmicks, it is execution. Bama gets this, SOS UF teams had this.
LikeLike
Bull. You questioned why the coaches didn’t have the players prepared for one or the other. They absolutely did. Aaron Murray immediately looked to the sideline and questioned whether to spike (I’m assuming here he wasn’t indicating our strong side, which I beleive is also common for our QBs in running up to the line). The coaches immediately said no and relayed a play. Aaron immediately relayed that to his teammates and they ran a clear and concise, well executed play. Aaron dropped back to throw a back shoulder fade, Mitchell ran a back shoulder fade, Connelly ran the complimentary route to a back shoulder fade (an out or an arrow), the line pass protected for a back shoulder fade, and Gurley stepped up to pass block for a back shoulder fade. There wasn’t one player on the field who didn’t properly execute their role within the called play, with the exeception of possibly Gurley being a step late in blocking Moseley, which is picking nits and using hindsight, and isn’t reflective of his knowledge of the playcall. The coaches and the players couldn’t have been more on the same page. To say otherwise is blidnly sticking to your (wrong) assertion. That fact that CJ Moseley tipped that pass or that it didn’t go straight into the ground and magically made it just far enough for Connelly to catch it, or that Connelly instinctively caught it, all have absolutely ZERO bearing on our coaches decision to not spike nor our players preparedness to run that play. You could argue whether the spike was right or not, but our concise decision making and organization was at it’s all time highest that I can remember on that specific play. Honestly, that play was why I could stomach losing. Our coaches had an aggressive, well thought out plan, in the heat of battle with EVERYTHING on the line, and they had properly prepared their players to execute their plan. It was a thing of absolute beauty, until of course it wasn’t. But I didn’t think we had been that well orchestrated since possibly the days of Greene and company flying down the field in Knoxville. The coaches’ comments immediately following the game, without extended reflection, only reinforced they had put serious thought into the decision.

Our fan base makes me nuts. Of course, the reaction to Murray is just as stupid.
