I don't care what our history looks like, history is written every day and it is time we write some new history before we don't have a pen anymore. <br /><br />The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Right now, 63 of 93 of UF's players are Freshmen and Sophomores. Really think we have a chance the next three years? If we can't beat'em when they are young (like in '07), we definitely won't later unless something changes...and losing AJ and Houston aren't what I consider positive changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-14345892428372869902010-11-01T01:24:03.173-04:002010-11-01T01:24:03.173-04:00Ok Let's put this into perspective... The only...Ok Let's put this into perspective... The only reason AJ would consider staying at UGA for another year is if he believes it's a winning program and that he can pad some stats so that he would go higher in the draft. Well he'll already go in the first round if he leaves this year, so the question comes...will this be a winning program next year...hmmmmm...maybe two years, maybe three, we've been waiting too long for a national championship, start ranked...end up on the outs...mostly because we can't seem to win against Florida, year after year...this is the worst team Florida has had in about the last ten years...we still lose.

With the talent pool available in the state of Georgia, and with the talent we have recruited, we should be in the the hunt for a BCS NC EVERY year (and fans should demand nothing less).<br />Players come to UGA and are not coached up. They get by on raw talent. They aren't disciplined on or off the field. we lose games because we are out-coached by teams with lesser talent. <br /> Other schools have hired new coaches and have since passed us by.<br />I really like Coach Richt, but every fan has to ask themselves this: Do you have 100% confidence that he will give us a chance every year to compete for a NC? <br />I did at first, but I have to admit that I have lost confidence.

My argument is maybe some ga fans have unrealistic expectations considering our history.<br /><br />This season is bad. No doubt about it. It's bad but this is just one season, and mark richt has shown himself to be the winningest coach in uga history as far as winning percentage goes. <br /><br />Btw nobody did it. Show me in ga's history where we were consistently as good as mark richt has made us. As of yet in uga history we have not been a consistent nat title contender. Rarely have we won our own conference. I'm just saying that most of you guys are expecting ga to always be something they rarely have been. <br /><br />My expectations of ga have always been high also and the only coach I have seen get ga near my lofty expectations is mark richt. I would hate to see us give up on him so easily. Give up on bobo! <br /><br />Mark richt is an amazing head coach. His only problem in my opinion is hiring coordinators. He has made bad hirings and failed to make changes quick enough. The 08 ga team should of won a nat title I believe also. I think that was more on our coordinators though. Which with richt being the head coach that was his fault. I think he made the right choice on def and he will now hire a new off coordinator.<br /><br />Also you can't simply say this coach won a nat title so he is better than that coach. It's not that simple. Many all time great coaches and players go there whole careers without winning championships. The second you win one you are not all the sudden better. I still think mark richt is the best head coach ga has ever had. <br /><br />With that being said if he doesn't make the right move with the off coordinator position or we have another season like this with the talent we have......Willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-39919348831708405672010-10-31T17:49:23.394-04:002010-10-31T17:49:23.394-04:00Will there e a post on the weekly conference call?...Will there e a post on the weekly conference call?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-77761169415746810342010-10-31T17:27:15.347-04:002010-10-31T17:27:15.347-04:00Richt is a better coach??

You have to look at the conference (strongest in nation), and the talent in and around the state. <br /><br />The state of Georgia has the third most Division 1 players and the third most NFL players. Based on that fact alone, UGA should be competing every single year.

Ga does not have the history that most ga fans seem to think we have.<br /><br />I want us to win sec titles and nat titles just like everyone else but you guys have to realize what our history has been. We have not been a consistent national power. The closest we have came has been under richt. He is going to become a victim of his own success. He has set a standard that no other coach in our history has had to live up to. <br /><br />Richt was the one who got you guys thinking that ga should contend for nat titles every year. Something no other coach in ga history has done as well as richt. I know dooley won one but richt is a beter coach. Most of you guys just want to get rid of him after one bad year. A couple below average for richt seasons but this is the only bad season.Willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-5827598552519928842010-10-31T15:48:08.252-04:002010-10-31T15:48:08.252-04:00Willb:

We might have the best qb in the sec next year."<br /><br />AM is a good QB now and we're 4-5.<br /><br />-"Our defense has been up and down this year but nobody can deny they are better than last year."<br /><br />Talk about damning with faint praise.<br /><br />-"We have some great young players. Ogletree, rambo, branden smith, Washington.... You can say a lot of bad things about ga but you cannot say we lack for talent."<br /><br />Our dbs are horrendous. The only one with any promise is Ogletree. Wonder how the dbs will play next year when we lose our best pass rusher to the first round of the NFL draft?<br /><br />-"It's looking like were gonna have another really good recruiting class. I believe the best players we will get have not been signed yet."<br /><br />The best players IN STATE are bailing on us. Google "Isaiaha Crowell." One thing that is really killing UT now is that Fulmer couldn't recruit effectively his last few years. The same is now happening with Richt.<br /><br />-"Offensive weapons for Murray. Green and Durham will be gone but we have a lot more really good players on offense."<br /><br />In 2008, we had the #1 pick in the draft playing QB, the #10 pick in the draft playing RB, a now-starting in the NFL WR, and a WR who will be a top ten pick last year. How'd that work out? If this staff is good at anything, it's squandering talent.<br /><br />"We fire richt, hire a new coach who will want to bring in a new staff of his own and it will set us back for years I think."<br /><br />We should hire and fire coaches every three years until we find one that can win championships and maintain the program at a high level.

A lot of teams will lose there best players and they will be replaced with players who will be there new best players.<br /><br />Here are a few reason the dawgs will be better next year.<br /><br />1. We can't get any worse. If you think we will be worse then you must think this will be the worse team in ga history? Look at the talent we have. This will not be a 3-4 win team.<br /><br />2. Quite obvious. Aaron Murray. We might have the best qb in the sec next year. At the worst second to cam newton. He has shown himself to be the best freshman qb ga has ever had and he will get better each year he plays. He also showed in the first few games of his career that he can play without aj green. He didn't play great but considering it was his first games I think he did pretty good. Aaron murrays great statistical season is not a product of playing with aj green.<br /><br />3. Our defense has been up and down this year but nobody can deny they are better than last year. Learning the 3-4 is tough. Look at Nick sabans first year at bama compared to his second with the 3-4. It even took the almighty saban a year to get it rolling. Like bama we have talent, we just didn't have the right coaches until now.<br /><br />4. If Houston leaves which is not for sure he and dent will be the only significant losses on a much improved defense. We have lots of talent on the defense to replace them. We have some great young players. Ogletree, rambo, branden smith, Washington.... You can say a lot of bad things about ga but you cannot say we lack for talent. It's not an excuse for how our def has played this year but it takes time to learn the 3-4.<br /><br />5. It's looking like were gonna have another really good recruiting class. I believe the best players we will get have not been signed yet. I believe having stafford and now possibly green going first in the draft will be huge for recruiting. Come to ga and we will get you ready for the NFL. Also I think a lot of players will sign with us this year and next to play with Aaron. <br /><br />6. Offensive weapons for Murray. Green and Durham will be gone but we have a lot more really good players on offense. King will take over as the top receiver and I believe he will do great. Orson Charles could the the best tight end in the nation with a couple of other tight ends that could start on a lot of other teams. I think marlon brown who was one of the best wr prospects in the nation when he got here will start to produce. He came from a small school so it usually takes those guys a couple of years to get going with the learning curve. Branden smith could play a huge part on offense. Even if we don't get crowell we have a couple of pretty good experienced backs who are at the least adequate. Hopefully we get a full year with them without suspensions and injuries.

What exactly makes you think that UGA will be better next year..I keep hearing this from the MR sycophants? That and that this a young team with a new D coordinator...as if it's not MR's fault that he didn't play Murray last year or have to fire his DC...<br /><br /><br />So next year's team is going to be better without AJ Green, Kris Durham, most of the Offensive line, Justin Houston, etc?<br /><br />I'm all for being optimistic but with some of you morons MR will still be coaching here 20 years from now and you guys will be talking about how great NEXT year will be..Scooternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-29522906458651905412010-10-31T13:14:26.734-04:002010-10-31T13:14:26.734-04:00Willb....you weren't proud of the band?Willb....you weren't proud of the band?Vladdynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-68969777404681048822010-10-31T12:49:52.092-04:002010-10-31T12:49:52.092-04:00Seeing some of these post are kind of making me si...Seeing some of these post are kind of making me sick. <br /><br />We did lost the came but by no means did we get blown out. We played very very hard. This is a team we rarely beat when were having a great season.<br /><br /> If our players went out there and played like crap and embarrassed the state of ga i would understand some negativity but these kids left everything out there. This wasn't a game that was lost on effort. No blown coverage that caused the loss. A tipped pass in ot by a freshman qb that got us back into the game to begin with. <br /><br />Our ga players played there hearts out yesterday only to come to places like this and see there "fans" talking about how much they suck!<br /><br />I understand that everyone wanted and expected us to win this one but why all the extreme negativity? Negativity never helps anything only makes us as uga fans look bad.<br /><br /> I believe more in constructive criticism. We all have the right to say whatever we want and show our displeasure with how things are going but I just don't agree with how most of you are doing it. <br /><br />Also Florida might appear to be a bad team this year but they are far from it! Look at there losses. A lot of teams would of lost those games. Florida has maybe just as much NFL type talent as anyone in the nation. We lost a close ot game to them by a fg.<br /><br />I'm very proud of what our team did yesterday it's just Florida was the better team this year. Three points better. Next year I don't think they will be better than us. I'll start taking bets for ga to win right now I'm so confident in it. This team has built a lot of character after a season like this.Willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-4533319434725304252010-10-31T12:06:17.410-04:002010-10-31T12:06:17.410-04:00It is not about location, players or coaching - It...It is not about location, players or coaching - It comes down to the advantages of a bye week which the ole ball coach started for Gaytors. When you have an extra week to make adjustments, heal up and rest it is a huge advantage and that is why the series has changed. Until Gaytors lose the bye week or UGA gains ones it will continue like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
