The Mark Richt Victory Watch

by T Kyle King on Nov 5, 2011 5:37 PM EDT in Georgia Bulldogs Football

Nine different Georgia Bulldogs scored touchdowns on a sunny yet chilly homecoming Saturday between (and, in some cases, in) the hedges, extending the Red and Black’s winning streak to seven and permitting me to update the Mark Richt Victory Watch.

The Mark Richt Victory Watch now stands at 103, putting Coach Richt 98 wins shy of tying Vince Dooley for the all-time school record. With 139 games under his belt, Mark Richt has a 103-36 ledger and a .741 winning percentage, which is the best in Georgia history at that juncture. With the same number of games to their credit, Wally Butts stood at 92-40-7 (.687) and Vince Dooley was 92-42-5 (.680).

When he hits 201, I saw we chip in and buy him an actual victory watch.

That would be nice, . . .

. . . because it would get him back to averaging ten wins a year.

Also, there would be other benefits, as well.

If he doesn't hit 130 by next year, he's lost control of the program and should be fired.

I thought we did

today’s announcers said Grantham’s been “head coach” for 2 years.

I'd like to beat Auburn 63-16. I would go over to track um tigers and get myself banned, it would be worth it.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, Dawg2011, . . .

. . . but let’s not go out of our way to be on our worst behavior over there. Too many of them make a point of doing that over here, and I’d rather us lead by example.
