How about that #Dawgs "Dream Team" Coach Mark Richt recruited? We finally kept our Georgia boys at home. Nice job Coach.

So tired of the overblown hating on Fran from months ago. Let it go Kyle. Seriously.

When one makes a statement that is perceived as piling on a man that's already having trouble...

… and criticizes his faith and values as a primary component of that argument, then it’s only natural to expect an excess of vitriol directed towards him. And every bit of it is deserved.

Mr. Tarkenton is certainly entitled to his opinion, and is completely entitled to express his opinion as freely and openly as he wishes. He shouldn’t expect that everyone in Bulldog Nation will appreciate his expression of that opinion however… or will forget that he ever said it.

by vineyarddawg on Feb 10, 2011 10:01 PM EST up reply actions  

The only reason I wouldn't hate on Tarkenton after it...

…is because he so thoroughly embarrassed himself and so thoroughly revealed himself to be a sad and pathetic old man that pity is probably the more appropriate emotion to direct towards him.

The errors, the utter disregard for what a university is supposed to be, the completely irrational delivery… all of it was something one would expect from the drunkest, most uneducated message board poster.

I don’t know if he’s since apologized, but if not, he has serious issues.

by Rangers100 on Feb 10, 2011 10:10 PM EST up reply actions  

It is neither "overblown" nor "hating," nor was it "months ago."

It was barely one month ago, and I avoided mentioning it altogether at the time, despite receiving e-mails asking why I had ignored it. What, precisely, ought I to let go, inasmuch as I never have taken hold of this before?

More to the point, it is not “hate” to suggest that a respected and wealthy alumnus who undoubtedly could get a face-to-face meeting with Greg McGarity if he wanted one should avoid airing his grievances (Including, apparently, disdain for Mark Richt’s religious faith) before God and everybody (you should excuse the expression); hence, my reference to “a public statement.” If Fran thinks Mark Richt needs to go, he should use his influence to address that issue with the power brokers behind the scenes, which he assuredly is able to do. (He also made his ill-considered statements shortly before national signing day, which could not have helped his alma mater in recruiting, and anyone who is true to his school should consider such things before going off in such a manner.)

Ripping on our head coach publicly in such a disrespectful manner was classless, yet, instead of returning the favor by being disrespectful to Tarkenton in return, I wrote nothing for a month, then I emphasized, by way of comparison, the right way for a former Bulldog to show support for his team. The practice of praising a damn good ’Dawg for being a damn good ’Dawg is one I have no intention of letting go, and one which no one who cares for the University of Georgia should ask (or want) me to abandon. Seriously.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Feb 10, 2011 10:03 PM EST up reply actions  

I thought the acknowledgement that he has never even met Greg McGarity...

…was the most revealing element of that rant.

Fran Tarkenton clearly couldn’t care less about The University of Georgia.

by Rangers100 on Feb 10, 2011 10:12 PM EST up reply actions  

I have a friend who used to play for the UGA Volleyball team years ago...

… and I can personally vouch for the fact that McGarity’s door is open to former lettermen/women who wish to express their opinions about the state of the program in their particular sport, even if it’s a nonrevenue sport in which Georgia has sucked for the past 15 years.

There certainly was a better venue available to Fran, if he had thought to pursue it.

Again, good grief

Let. It. Go.

There’s not a more overly sensitive bunch of fans than those that don the red & black i’m sad to say.

So what? He disagrees with you & criticized your precious Mark Richt. Big deal. I can assure you CMR doesn’t need your keyboard to defend him.

It was a statement from a former player about a current Coach. Both of whom have done more & been more to UGA than you EVER will. Not to mention the fact they’ve actually been “in the arena” & you certainly haven’t.

Grow up Kyle, quit the bitching, & get over it. I’m a 3rd generation UGA grad, who’s been a season ticket holding fan for nearly 30 years. I’ve been there long before Richt arrived & will be long after he leaves…..as will Fran. And i got news for ya pal, you damn sure don’t define who a Damn Good Dawg is.

I don’t know much about Fran Tarkenton, but I assume he is a relatively mature person with at least some integrity and professionalism, so I assume he was just having a terrible day and has since sincerely apologized for his embarrassing and childish behavior.

Et tu?

Kyle merely defended himself after someone complained about a simple comment accompanying a re-tweet.

I know I’m simply continuing the chain, but I swear you’re bitching and ranting and raving about a non-issue. If you hate Kyle’s writing and the rest of the blog, why read it? I don’t enjoy Fox, so I watch CNN. Simple concept.

Plus, since when does hating on a coach make you a damn good dawg?

by FairfaxDawg on Feb 10, 2011 10:48 PM EST up reply actions  

I have said it before

and I will say it again -
words written by people on the internet do not actually jump out of the internet and stab you in the eyeball. You don’t have to like what is said by others, they don’t have to agree with you. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it’s quite ok for those opinions to be different.
More importantly – just as CMR doesn’t need Kyle’s keyboard to defend him, Fran doesn’t need your’s either allyugadawg. Being a 30 year season ticket holder doesn’t mean your opinion is any more or less important than Kyle’s.

I might feel differently about your comments Allyugadawg if they were not negative or quite so bitchy most of the time.
If you don’t like what’s said at dawgsports.com – don’t read it. It really is that simple.

by podunkdawg on Feb 10, 2011 10:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Let what go?

Here is the sum total of what I wrote upon the subject: “Herschel Walker could teach Fran Tarkenton a thing or two about how to make a public statement about one’s alma mater.” Again, I would direct your attention to the word “public”; if he wants to work behind the scenes to bring about a change, that is his business, but what he said publicly was ill-considered, and, far from excoriating him for it, I simply accentuated the positive by pointing out the right way to do it by way of comparison.

After that, I only commented further in response to one of your typical insulting, condescending, sarcastic, presumptuous, and holier-than-thou comments. As with my response to Tarkenton, I answered you in a tone much more respectful, reasonable, and rational than the tone you adopted, and you ratcheted up the attitude, using snottiness as a substitute for substance, as you do when discussing everything from Jim Harbaugh (because I dared to suggest that Georgia should not pursue him, since he likely would prefer to be at Michigan or in the NFL, a position which you indicated had robbed me of much of my credibility, and also a position with respect to which I later was proven entirely correct) to Twitter (which you condemned me for not “getting,” and which I subsequently have made a concerted effort to employ, though this has not stopped you from mocking me and the regular readers of this site as old fogeys in your tweets).

All I am able to glean from your comments is that, by “let it go,” you mean “don’t dare to respond to me reasonably, respectfully, and rationally while I’m being rude, obnoxious, and ill-mannered.” By that definition, I hereafter will be letting it go. You may assume the hyper-intense all-caps “seriously” is implied.

Herschel Walker

Has been more active of late in voicing his support for Georgia. I think he is becoming an ambassador of the program.

Tarkenton rarely speaks out on behalf of his Alma Mater, certainly during his NFL days and then 80’s TV run. I always thought a high-profile ex-player could do more, but he was quiet. Maybe that’s his style. His recent criticisms of Richt were I’ll-timed and off-base. Whatever disdain is directed towards him is deserved. This is just another of many reasons that I hope coach Richt is successful.

I talked to Herschel for 30 minutes waiting for a plane

from LaGuardia to DFW a few years ago. It was awesome and what stood out to me was how up to speed he was with goings on within the program. His was clearly talking to people inside the program fairly regularly.

He’s a busy man and has his own life and business ventures, so I would have understood if he wasn’t up on all the latest recruits and player moves as die-hard fans might be. But he was. Which was really cool.

In what way?

He was responding to the press conference early in January at which it was announced that some administrative responsibilities had been reshuffled to take non-football obligations off of the head coach. The strength and conditioning staff shakeup had occurred one month earlier.

The only things to have happened since Fran Tarkenton gave that interview are (a) the departures of Stacy Searels and Warren Belin, and (b) the signing of a top ten recruiting class. The two coaches who left accepted positions elsewhere, and no one suggested that either should have been fired; recruiting had been something on which Mark Richt and his staff had been working very hard for months, which Tarkenton’s public tirade could not have helped. What fire, precisely, do you believe Tarkenton lit that was not already ablaze?

Yes

The tenor and tone of responses to ally were measured and calculated. Then, it resembled the Mississippi State game thread.

I just can’t hold my tongue any longer :) Generally I subscribe to the theory that there is always time to be hateful later. Unfortunately not everyone is as able to delay being hateful as I am =)

I'm fairly pleased I missed this firestorm last night.

After my exceptionally heated discussion with Gwinnett Gamecock the other day, losing four to three in a best of seven racquetball series to my roommate last night, and the fact that my father’s genes have given me an engine that goes from 0 to Fitin’ Mad in about two seconds flat, my response to allyugadawgs wouldn’t have been pretty. This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, though it is the first time I’ve said it in reference to an internet comment thread: “It’s a good thing I wasn’t there, or it might’ve gotten ugly.”

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of when I read "TINA!" . . .

. . . was the scene in a 1984 “Hill Street Blues” episode in which Paul “The Wall” Sgrignoli, believed to be dead, awakened suddenly and called out the name of his wife, Gina (played by Jennifer Tilly), with similar emphasis?

“Hill Street Blues,” anyone? Anyone? Is this thing on?

by T Kyle King on Feb 11, 2011 11:11 AM EST up reply actions  

Familiar with the show,

definitely familiar with Jennifer Tilly. Other than that, not much I can add, since I wasn’t born until 86. There are many things that predate my birth that I can discuss intelligently. TV Shows, unfortunately, are not one of those things.

I think that's not wrong.

Likewise, I don’t think anyone should be surprised that my brain is prepared to spew forth bits of dialogue from what may be the campiest movie of all time.

I was wondering how such an innocuous quote could garner 90+ comments...

…and then i saw that Ally commented on here. To be a uga fan she certainly seems to troll a lot on here.

Really, the only time she seems to show up is when she wants to bitch and moan and act high and mighty.

by podunkdawg on Feb 11, 2011 7:32 PM EST up reply actions  

What pissed me off..

is the ambush nature of her original post and subsequent rants. Not a measured, “well, I have an opinion and allow me to retort” type of response, but a calling-out of Kyle, Our Leader. And it ain’t the first time. What the hell? I mean, really? There generally is a sense of decorum around here (unless we’ve lost a football game…which is totally fucking understandable), certainly amongst the regulars. And why would anyone want to go toe-to-toe with Kyle…on his blog? That just tells me someone is off their meds. It was entertaining while it lasted because once the gloves came off, the cavalry seemed to just appear out of thin air around 11:30 on a school night. Yay team!

Yeah, we’re a bit cliquish in some ways, but we’re just loyal Dawg people who have found a forum to laugh, cry, drink, cry, hope, celebrate, bitch and drink and occasionally discuss grammar, The Arts, politics, wine and women. Just do what we try to teach our kids. Play nice. It’s simple, really.

I’d take a bullet pellet BB for Kyle. Someone hold me.

well

I considered calling her out about it a couple times in the past, but she usually throws her rant and then goes away immediately. Plus I thought I was alone in my opinion but then I kind of wondered if y’all weren’t just being chivalrous (because y’all are like that) and ignoring her.
But before I even saw anyone’s post yesterday I was just so far past done with her attitude I couldn’t stop myself.

let sleeping dogs lie. There have been far more idiot people and we didn’t dedicate a blog to going off on them. Heat of the moment – aight. But I don’t want Allydawg never to post again. Hell, the way I see it she got some primo seats I may want to borrow sometime!

dude -

it was 38 today and I went out in the yard in shorts and boots, no shirt. It felt like 80. Not warm enough to melt off snow though. Kansas is a strange place – it gets 115 in the summer, and can get to -15 in the winter. I have seen hotter and colder, but never a place with such a range.

Indeed

Mid-latitude, contenental locales often have incredible climate extremes. I was in Minneapolis for several days one summer years ago during a triple-digit heatwave.

The good news (hopefully) is the 60-90 day temperature forecast for you and much of the SE U.S. is a return to “seasonable” values… which means regression to the mean!

Still, I can ‘t believe the snow y’all have had.

Well said, tankertoad.

I should have said it myself, and I regret that I didn’t. (In my defense, I was in a continuing legal education seminar in Athens all day, and I crashed early last night as a result.) Thank you.
