PrintFlorida Gators at Georgia Bulldogs, Nov 1, 2008 3:30 PM EDT
You know the drill (as in "finish the . . ."): this is your game day open comment thread and your reactions, reflections, outbursts, and observations are welcome and invited below. I have family in town for the afternoon, so I won’t be participating, but I trust the usual suspects will be on hand to keep the conversation lively.
This is also the time at which we announce the Dawg Sports honorary game day captain. Let’s not complicate this unnecessarily:
That’s one No. 24 leading Georgia to the victory over Florida that propelled the Bulldogs to conference and national championships. Here’s hoping another No. 24 delivers a repeat performance in Jacksonville later this afternoon.
Go ’Dawgs!

Prior to the game...
I’d like to point out that MaconDawg’s “Rum! Knowshon! Rum!’s” are absolutely delicious. Good god the man can select a fine cocktail.
Game predictions:
1) Florida celebrates after the first score by pulling off tear-away football pants to reveal designer jorts.
2) Georgia wins 31-27 on a field goal toward the end of the 4th quarter.
3) Tim Tebow curls up on the fifty yard line and cries after the game. He comforts himself by clutching a miniature Albert the Gator stuffed with Filipino foreskins.
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"
Thus sayeth T. Kyle King
We Salute you Jorts Inventor...
Without, you such a celebration (and such limitless humor), would not be possible!

I hate...
Raycom and living in Mississippi. Thank god I can actually get this game online until the local affiliate decides to switch over once they show about 15 minutes of commercials. Don’t even ask how many times I’ve left drunken profanity laced voicemails at that station on Saturdays around 2:30 local time.
CSB live feed has been good in the past.
Not perfect, but it beats getting my dad to hoold the telephone up to his tv that is smart enough to switch over to the good game anyone cares about.

LETS STOP GETTING CUTE!!!!!!!!!
Why are we trying to play cute with all these special plays, lets just do what we do best and hit them in the mouth. Now we miss the kick and ruin a great drive. I hope Bobo is learning from this drive. Simplely hand the ball to Moreno and use the play-action pass work for you to make big plays. That’s SEC football. Cute playcalling is doine by teams that aren’t that good and can’t out-play the other team. But i think we can outplay this team.

I'm not sure if it was a designed run play
but there was a lot of misdirection stuff and it let linemann in the backfield get to him. It seemed to be a sort of rolling out for a pass to draw defenders towards him or something, i’m not sure, either way it was a broken play.

Our D did fine - horrible officiating and a horrible, horrible time (if there is a good time)
for a PF amongst other penalties.
And yet
Wagers doesn’t call the punch to the helmet after the kick return
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"

so true
Bottom line is we have to be agressive, but can not be stupid. We have to be the cooler heads, let Florida implode and let the Gators get the ref’s attention.
Keep passing it
When we catch it, Stafford can lead us down field.

there son’s bone is popping out – that was absolutely horrible for her to say.
It may not feel like it - but if we can get a TD and go 10-14, we
are still very much in the game. We aren’t doing bad, we just are having some bad officiating and penalities, and a few Bobo crazy head calls.
But our offense isn't showing that it can get that done
I agree we would be right back in it. But we can’t start playing behind.

I don't understand our coaches...
1) Horrible play calls inside the 20 the first time
2) Piss poor D on the second drive
3) The horrible onside kick call
4) Everyone in the FRIGGING stadium knew that Tebag was going to run on 4th down except Wille.
Unbelieveable
I think he knew he was most likely going to run
But had the defense also keep an eye on the other guys in the backfield, and we may have been a step off.

my thoughts
1) agree
2) penalties
3) good call, bad kick, lined it right to the guy, but it would have REALLY motivated them
4) yep. But i dont think Tebow can be stopped on short yardage.
Again - we need to score and get 14-10. We make great second half adjustments.
We can’t stop Florida 3rd and short, so we need to ensure they are 3rd and 4+. The PFs need to end for the rest of the game. Stafford needs a little more protection and we need to turn him lose with the pass game. The TE/FB pass is there when needed. Toss sweep to Moreno needs to be revisted. Need Moreno losend up a little to get the play action going.
you called it
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"
Thus sayeth T. Kyle King
Stafford is a great athlete, but he needs a touch of David Green's
composure and trust. To be fair, so many dropped passes probably haven’t helped him with trust.
Feed the ball to Moreno
He’s had good success the past two runs. If they load up the box play action pass for a deep strike.

Nothing that happens the rest of the day is going to be good….we can’t play much worse.

I don't mean to overreact...
But…lets face it, 14-3 is not an insurmountable score. As RocketDawg says, we couldn’t play any worse…count me among those that think we will play better in the 2nd. CWM is pretty solid at 2nd half adjustments.

OK - CMR and Stafford need to bleed and breath
poise and leadership. I completely disagree with you RocketDawg, we are not out of this game. We are just playing a little scared and not in the zone. We have shown we can stop them, and shown we can move the ball. We need leadership and teamwork.
Yes I am
And I see…
1) Stupid play calling (much like Alabama)
2) Poor execution (gee just like Alabama)
3) Penalties that either extend drives for them or kill ours (JUST LIKE ALABAMA)
Bro -
We couldnt stop Alabama in the first half. They blew right through us. They scored, what, 4 TDs in the half. Not the same game. And we completely couldnt move the ball the first half.
I realize that....
but FU has punted twice and one time was because they were trying to run out the clock.
I admit that I am being pessimistic, but I am so sick of our coaches coming out and playing scared against Florida.
We came out last year...
with an attitude. We knocked their asses off the ball 9 straight times and scored. This year we come out trying to ben to cute with our play calls and it is biting us in the rear.
We get it...
You think we’re going to lose.

Let's spin this around to the postive:
We got them exactly where we want them. Let’s get in their head now and out play them. Anyone think we would be up by 20 at the half? NO, of course not. We missed two FGs, we had a PF that costs us an INT, and we had the onside kick failure. Florida right now is thinking “man, we are lucky”. We need to come out and play.
I need
to be drinkin whatever you’re drinkin. Pass the bottle man
I see we got a wider range of weapons and athletes, we just got to believe
and not make silly mistakes. CMR showed this in his interview “we are statisically even”. We stop them, get a TD, it’s 14-10 halway through the third. That is a game we can win. CMR makes the best second half adjustments of any Coach/team I routinely watch. Right now he isn’t worried about this play or that play, he is trying to settle his team and build trust and espirit de corps.
Unlike Alabama
Still very much in the game after the first half.
Exactly W Bull
Look, if this is “like the Alabama game”, I’m pretty happy — we played a great second half that day but the first half hole killed us. If we play this second half like that second half, we’ll be alright.
Alabama was a bad analogy...
We just look like we are coaching and playing scared….we stopped them once in the first half and put our D in an untenable situation with that stupid onsides kick.
You can only win in the stats before it catches you on the scoreboard. Here’s to a hell of a 2nd half. Go Dawgs. Everyone else pray for Walsh.
Yea, Walsh is just a hair from that place where he won't make practive FGs with no line
It is hard as heck to put that behind you – think of it like golf. Two bad drives and you are like “crap, i cant do anything right.” I hope he can put it behind him.
Re: Alabama
I honestly thought we could come back and win from a 31-0 deficit to Alabama. We didn’t.
I’m less sanguine about our chances down 14-3 to Florida. I can only pray my gut is as wrong as it was last time.
Otherwise…this is in no way anything like the Bama game. We got steamrolled that time. Yeah, PF’s hurt us. But we’d still be down by at least 21 at the half.
Now? We’re down 11 at the half, with a handful of miscues seperating us from a single-score game or even a lead.
So I find myself in the odd circumstance that my head is more confident about our chances than my heart is.
Looking at the cocktail glass as half-full at this point; I mean, at least the SEC still has defense, right? I was having visions of a triple digit total score at this point….
There are 3 reasons we are losing:
1) REFS
2) BAD BREAKS
3) Coaching
In that order. UF should never have scored that first TD. It should have been a punt if not for Ms. Meyer (Penn Wagers).
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"
Thus sayeth T. Kyle King
I agree to a point...
1) Penn Wagers is the worst ref in the SEC bar none, but the shoot yourself in the foot penalties that kept their drives alive were legit. It was poor execution by our D.
2) This is the truth….we can’t buy a break today.
3) Yep, nuff said on that one.
Yeah...they do
As bad breaks.
My point is our guys aren’t playing poorly and our coaches aren’t coaching that badly. We have had things not go our way so far. It isn’t like we’re being outclassed on the field like we were at Alabama.

Political Ads during the game
If any of these politicians could guarantee 4 years of wins vs. UF, they’d get my vote!
Question
Why do our school ads always look so much less professional than everyone else’s?
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"
Thus sayeth T. Kyle King
I sincerely hope the coaches and players are more upbeat
than these boards are today. This isnt Ray Goff vs Steve Spurrier. UGA has one of the finest head coaches in college football, and I am convinced we have a wider range of weapons than Florida.
This is a two possession game. We make great adjustments. This is about poise, leadership and execution.
Lucky T-Shirt
Alright, folks. I’m breaking out my lucky T-shirt for the 2nd half. It currently holds a 25-7 record in games when I’m wearing it. It actually started out 0-3 in the 90’s, but is 25-4 since Richt took over. If you’re wondering why I wouldn’t be wearing it to start the game… it’s a Ga/Fla T-shirt and doesn’t have a history of success against them. But, today, I feel like it is needed. If you’re asking yourself, is this guy crazy?, then yes. I am.
I’m also dead serious.
The T-shirt will make a difference.
Is there some new rule I'm not aware of...
where offensive linemen are allowed to tackle the D?
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"

RD - you are making me want to leave this board, i would hate

Don't leave on my account...
I am not usually this negative
I went to UGA in the 90s. I understand
how much losing to Florida gets old. But our entire Bulldog Nation has this “scared of Florida” disease. We need to purge ourselves of it.

If you scroll up I was very positive and excited about our last drive
right up to the pick.
Look
I am not a gloom and doom guy most of the time, but when we went 3 and out on our first drive and then missed the FG on the second possesion it was very obvious to me that it wasn’t our day.
But this whole time you haven't given them a chance
…as a fan for that long you don’t have any optimism.
If you think its over why are you still watching and why are you still posting on the board. If its over, get off and do something better with your time.

I may monitor, but I am off the boards, my thoughts
on what we need to do and the importance of grace under pressure are well established today. Mix it up, hit the FB and TE, pitch and catch, believe. We have the talent and weapons. Time to be leaders and not try and force everything. Moreno has stepped it up a critical moments and shown great poise and leadership. Time for the team too.
This is the end...

How have you not gone bezerk already
Did you see the last FL TD???? I’m bezerk and borderline going to go insane.

What's taking so long
this is obviously a catch
Pennis Wagers
looked disappointed that he couldn’t overturn that one
I really, really hate Penn Wagers
told my family before the game this guy is an asshole that ruins games
I think it was the LSU/Auburn game last year I watched and he just ruined it
what we got…
Obvious holding call missed on the Tebow 3rd down conversion, then a bad spot, then a botched review. TD on that drive, right?
What else we got, a ticky-tacky call on the Prince Miller interception. That call CAN be made, but most good refs are gonna let that go, it didn’t affect the play at all and it was a game changing play nullified by a stupid call.
missed pass interference on the pick to the 1 yard line
missed offensive pass interference on the UF TD completion
keep up the great work Penn
Where is the football team???
This can’t be my beloved bulldogs playing. They don’t do this stuff. The officiating is horrible, I’ll grant that, but this kind of stupid plays, we are GIVING florida the game….
It doesn't matter if its the Dawgs or anybody else...
When 1, 2, 3 things go wrong (in this case, caused by officiating) …everything starts falling apart.
As I type this, they fail to call an offsides on the kickoff…and the official is standing on that line.

Yeah another start within our 15
Put Samuel on the bench. What is wrong with this team. They have NO HEART.

Why???
Why can’t I just turn it off?
It hurts too much to watch, but I can’t seem to turn it off either.
On the plus side...
Maybe we get Stafford and Moreno back? I think Stafford is more likely than Moreno.

And before anyone knocks on either...
this is a totally different game without all the injuries of this year. Its not an excuse and I don’t expect to say it again after this (because I refuse to sound like a Florida fan), but does anybody see all these sacks and hits on Stafford and this difficulty running the ball if Studivant or even Vance are in there? What about Jeff Owens?

Still a good shot at an 11 win season
But at this point I think we as fans are not satisfied with top ten finishes only. This team could have been incredible. Instead they are happy to play themselves out of any type of elite consideration. Stafford pick. I could not be more disappointed in the play of our guys, the quality of coaching we’ve exhibited, etc. This team is destined for a Capital One berth and it might be thirty more years before this team can win a MNC. Why can’t we take charge when we are in the driver’s seat. And why do we have to lose in such an embarassing fashion. I don’t care if we go 11-2 this year, each loss we’ve had seems like 3. THIS TEAM CAN’T HANDLE ADVERSITY!!!

also a call that was missed
also they missed a call on the punt where the UF guy called for the fair catch then picked it up and ran
that’s an automatic delay of game penalty
instead they didn’t call anything
so add that to the list
man
I can see the trash talk coming if we don’t score a TD in this game
“UF didn’t want UGA to celebrate so they didn’t let UGA score a TD at all.”
Bye Bye Any Recruits

Understood
But anyone who stuck with the Dawgs through the Goff and Donnan years (while being ridiculed about is during their formative teenage years, no less) as I did is not on any bandwagon I assure you.
I’ve never jumped on or off any bandwagon. That said, I do still have a tendency to express my frustration at times like these.

Question
Couldn’t they have called unsportsman like on spike with that rolling crap? And if so, why didn’t they?
FUF INTERCEPTION!!!!!!!
We as fans deserve more. Or given the tone of my comments maybe they as team deserve more from fans like me. Oh Yeah Florida TD. This is the worst GA UF game Ive ever watched. Keep it classy gators.

will Bobo be here next year?
nah just kidding, I (kinda) like Bobo
I spent 4 years of college with him. Never been a fan. Was an ass then. Still not sure what I think about him as a coach.

It has been one of the most frustrating games to watch i can remember
Bad Play-Calling.
Poor Execution on both sides of the ball.
Atrocious Game by the Refferees

That list sums it up
But the first two points are the emphasis. The third point about the refs is just icing—a nasty, unsweet icing—but this game was heretofore lost on the field.
at least we can be happy
we aren’t UF fans
at the end of the day, TO HELL WITH FLORIDA
Amen to that

Congrats to Penn Wagers officiating crew and the Florida Gators
You guys showed up and played a heck of a game, while we couldn’t get anything started.

also glad...
that I am not Doug Gillet’s toaster oven!
A good record...
Dawgs last 3 losses came with my flag flying on the porch…..thank god I can finally hang it with pride again. Got to hell Auburn!
I think we should
hold off on the yelling about not getting any respect for a long, long time.
Yep.
We’ve definitely got something wrong with the way we’ve prepared for big games this year.
Was it just me
Or was this eerily similar to UF/UGA games under Spurrier? It was like everything that could go wrong for the Dawgs did and when it happened, Florida capitalized. Man, this hurts.
Handshake
I missed the handshake. What happened ArchDawg?
It was more like what didn't happen
Now, it may be nothing at all but disappointment from Richt’s end/etc. being manifested, but it sure looked pretty icy to me.
I don't understand.....
what is wrong with our coaches and players.
Do we really NEED a stupid TD celebration and black shirts to play our best football? Why is it that we can’t seem to get motivated for big games by the sheer fact that it is a BIG GAME?
Last year at Tennessee is a prime example….in ‘06 they HOUSED us, yet we didn’t even get off the bus at Neyland last year. Wouldn’t someone whipping your tail in your own house motivate you to go out and play your very best against them next time?
I really thought that the MOJO of this series had changed after last year, but apparently it hasn’t. I was accused earlier of being to negative, but I tell you kids this had the look and the smell of a Goff v Spurrier @ss whipping from yesteryear.
What do you think the problem is with our guys? Is Coach Richt TOO laid back? I have already heard the “Fire Willie Martinez” chant, but honestly I didn’t think our defensive gameplan was that bad. Bobo had some absolutely MORONIC play calls, especially in the Red Zone. Our kids basically didn’t execute, we came in and played tight just like we used to when we expected to lose this game.
I for one have had enough, there needs to be a mandate to our staff and team that we will play and beat Florida on a regular basis.
Thoughts?
With Richt’s numbers, and continuing, I won’t blame him. He’s easily on track to break most coaching records at UGA (see T. Kyle’s win watch…which painfully won’t be updated this week.) Not only that, but I’d rather have a coach with CMR’s values than what a “win and gone” champ brings and leaves behind like others in college ball. If there is any sideline blame to CMR, perhaps it’s his supervising of the coordinators. I’ve never been a fan of Bobo, but at the same time, I was pleading for Richt to drop playcalling job and hand it off to a full O-coordinator. I get what I ask for, huh.
At the same time, Bobo could become a sought-after coordinator like Muschamp, Fisher, or Pelini….with time and practice. Or, he could be the next sought after coach that Tuberville is looking for….how’s that worked out?
As far as Matinez, I’m not as nearly down on him as most others. He may not come out to hit, but he seems to keep the offense in the game about 90% of the time, which is the most I think you can ask for in such a powerful conference. Does that put the blame back on the O? Beat’s the hell out of me. If I knew all th answers, I’d be a coach and not some lawyer deep deep deep in the hole on student loans.

I don't think motivation was an issue
We just ran into a buzzsaw that is the Florida Gators. They didn’t make a mistake today and we did. It’s one of those things where everything that goes wrong for one side went right for the other and we were on the wrong side of it.
You make some good points.
There is something wrong with the way we prepare for games. I’m not privy to all of the information—maybe Richt is too calm, whatever—but it is incumbent upon those who are—the coaches—to rectify the situation. I’m not calling for any firings or anything drastic like that. But when one sits back and evaluates what is before them in regards to our team, esp. in losses, several things jump out, as has been discussed on this thread throughout: our flat-footed play, questionable offense play-calling, and I hate to say this, but a lack of ‘fire’.
I do believe (right now) that the defensive gameplan was pretty sound. Offensively: different story. What gets to me the most, though, is how we are losing. The difference between this, Alabama, or Tennessee last year compared to, say, Auburn in ‘05 is that I feel we played our butts off and just came short. I can accept that. And maybe we really are 39 points worse than Florida, and 3 touchdowns worse than ’Bama—but when the above-mentioned symptoms continue to show up in these losses (and I see the ability of which we are able to perform throughout the season) I cannot feel that, you know? I’m not saying we give up—certainly didn’t in the ‘Bama game, now—but there’s a certain fire, an instinct, that I sense missing in these losses that I’m not so comfortable with.
Well, our goals have certainly changed, but we can still make something of this season and prepare for the future.
Goals change
and I hope I’m still within driving distance of last year’s Sugar Bowl. I have enough fam in Dallas now….I think could take a Cotton Bowl drive! And I will love it! Go Dawgs!

I'm with you there
I graduated from UGA in 2007 with my Masters in Accounting so I was in Athens from 2002-2007. The biggest change I noticed was the way we lost games. In 2002-2004 we lost games that were close and tough fought games. But from 2005-present, we’ve had our asses handed to us more than a handful of times. I will not make excuses. I do think this is directly related to Willie Martinez. I will agree that he’s not had the luxury of first day draft picks at DL, but it’s not like Georgia is lacking in the talent department. I think in the end, someone’s got to be accountable, and I feel that Willie may be the unfortunate one that is to blame. I don’t really think he’s a bad coach, but he’s been in charge for most of these embarassing losses and that’s got to count for something.
Maybe motivation is the wrong word....
but there is something that is certainly wrong with our BIG GAME preparation. Granted we are a young team and young teams tend to make mistakes at the most inopportune times, but it seems like everytime the chips are down we crap the bed. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge Coach Richt fan and there isn’t another coach in the country (much less the SEC) that I would rather have. That all being said, I just get tired of not being able to “win the big one”.
For example:
2002-Lose to UF with a MUCH more talented team
2003-Lose to LSU (where our money kicker missed 3 FG’s), lose to UF AGAIN with a much more talented team, get HOUSED by LSU in the SECCG.
2004-Choke and lose to a UT team with a true freshman QB AT HOME, get the crap beat out of us at Auburn (although I think that they were the better team that year)
2005-the two regular season losses were 1) because DJ was hurt for UF (otherwise we win that one) and Auburn (one of the best games I have ever been to personally), WVU housing in the Sugar Bowl (I blame that on the coaches not having us prepared)
2006-UT at home (the defense should have at least kept it close)
2007-UT away (no excuse for this loss, UT sucked last year)
2008- Alabama (do I need to rehash this?) and today against UF.
For whatever reason we seem utterly incapable of playing a big game close, much less win one.
The key word...
… there is preparation. We come out flat for these big games and get so far behind that we’re scrambling to catch up. I’ve already burned the shirts I wore for Bama and Florida today so I’m making sure that my karma is not part of the problem.
What scares me so much about your comment (and others)
is that UA and UF aren’t exactly loaded with seniors, either. Or AU, LSU, or TN. Awwww….now I’m just depressing myself.

Sadly
I agree with Urban Meyer when he says Tebow is a once in a generation player. That’s very true. Once Tebow’s gone I can see Florida slipping, but maybe’s that’s wishful thinking on my part.
I think that is wishful thinking....
Tebow is a special player, but look at Pat White, Alex Smith, etc. You only have to be a fast and good QB to make that offense go, especially with all that speed around you.
Yeah, Tebow's got help this year.
There are some good players on that offense. But the key for them this year is their defense, which has been causing turnovers at a high clip. This is much like their 2006 team, except that their offense converts touchdowns instead of field goals.
The funny thing is....
Unless we get dropped to the mid teens we could win out and still make the BCS as an at large (although I think that might be stretching it a bit)
Well,
considering that every league besides the Big XII is down this year, and assuming that ’Bama and UF are in the SEC championship game (and we win out), then yeah we can get an at-large b/c the SEC and the Big XII are the only leagues that deserve at-large bids
I am glad that we can have an intelligent conversation about what is wrong with our team
Instead of the moron fest on the AJC boards.
Yeah
I wonder how long it’s going to take Terrence Moore to put up a post about why Georgia lost because of the celebration last year.
I can't believe...
that guy hasn’t been run out of town on a rail by now. I can’t stand him , and what’s more is he can’t write worth a damn.
Talk about your douchebags.......
1) Jim Rome
2) Terrence Moore
3) Urban Meyer
Great....pour in the salt...
UF/AU vs. USC starting to brew. Thank you Big 12. Take me back to last year…can’t someone just win to make the pain stop???
