BCDawg97 — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:26:12 -0000

While we should all be donating just because its the right thing to do, we should also be doing our best to make the Dawgs #1 in any sport or competition! UF is in the lead. Hell, even USC and LSWho are beating us right now (of course it just started today). Step up people. It only takes 10 dollars.

Pass the word along to other dawg fans You have until Wednesday.

DID I MENTION EDSBS WILL PUT UP A GEORGIA LOGO AND CHANGE THE COLOR SCHEME TO RED IF WE WIN?

DVD's

oceandawg — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:36:55 -0000

I'm looking for a DVD or VHS of the '07 Fl. and/or Auburn games - anybody where I can get them? I've looked all over the net . DVD's of the sugar bowl are all over but not of the season games. I'd like to find them to show to my brother who was overseas and could not watch. Can't wait for this season to see what Merino and Caleb can do. We should be very good.

Welcome to the new Dawg Sports and SB Nation

clockwerks — Fri, 09 May 2008 08:37:49 -0000

Hey Dawg Sports,

Today is the big day. We've switched your community over to the new SB Nation sports blog platform. My name is Trei, and I'm here to help you get adjusted to the new home we've built for you. If you have questions or trouble with the new system, post a comment in this thread and myself or one of the team (lovitt, sixfoot6 or odacrem) will try to point you in the right direction.

Before we begin, I want to let you know we still consider this a beta platform, so don't be surprised if you find a few bugs or if everything isn't exactly right yet. We hope you'll take the time to report any problems you encounter at bugreport@sbnation.com. We'll be continuing to make changes and improving things.

Please take a few minutes to read about what's new below. But if you just can't wait to jump in, here are some quick things to check out:

What Has Changed

SB Nation Network Accounts - the Big Change

Readers across all of our blogs told us they wanted one account to use on every SB Nation blog. To make this work, we're requiring that everyone create a new SB Nation network account. In most cases you should be able to keep your old username, but a few of you may have to choose something new, since every other community in SB Nation will be going through this same transition. We tried to be as fair as possible in deciding who gets to keep which name, using a formula that takes into account length of membership and frequency of activity.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to participate on all of our blogs, but we don't want to encourage everyone to start visiting rival team blogs and initiating flame wars. To maintain friendly communities we ask that you explicitly join each blog in order to participate. It's a two-click process, but it does means accepting each blog's community guidelines. Just as you join each blog individually, you can be banned on each blog individually.

You can claim old accounts from multiple SB Nation blogs, and your new username will be retroactively attached to all your old comments and diaries. So now you'll be able to access all your writings from your single profile page... like magic.

To get started, click here to claim your old blog accounts and create a new SB Nation network account.

FanPosts (the Section Formerly Known as Diaries)

We changed their name. Why? Because we took this major upgrade as an opportunity to leave behind some vocabulary that never made much sense for a sports blog. SB Nation is the network of, by and for fans, and these are the blog posts we make. So we call them FanPosts. When you're at a bar telling someone to check out your online sports opinions, you don't have to suggest they read your diary.

FanPosts are displayed differently on the homepage - we include your avatar to give more credit for the time you spend writing great posts. The new post editor has a WYSIWYG view that provides easy formatting. It also auto-saves drafts so you don't have to worry about losing your work when you compose a post within the web browser. And you can now associate teams, players and games with your posts: these tools promote your FanPosts on our new team, player and game pages - across the entire network.

The new system does not work like the old diary editor. For example, in HTML mode the new editor doesn't auto-create a new paragraph from two line breaks. But it does offer a whole array of new features. Look for the blinking help button on the right side of the FanPost editor for quick tips, and take a look at our full guide to writing FanPosts on the new platform.

IMPORTANT - if you write your posts in Microsoft Word or some other off-line editor, you will get the most reliable behavior if you cut & paste your post into the HTML view of the FanPost editor. And if you do that, remember to wrap <p></p> tags around each paragraph so your text doesn't run together.

Visual Redesign

This one is probably the most obvious change of all. Like other major websites working to improve readability for their audience, we've adopted a fixed-width layout optimized for the 1024 x 768 resolution used by the majority of Dawg Sports and SB Nation network users. Use the switcher below the user menu if you prefer the wider layout designed for 1280 monitors. We've introduced a top navigation bar with quick links into old and new sections of the site. We also polished a few edges, made some things larger, others smaller and moved a few boxes here and there. More changes and adjustments to come.

Search

We've completely replaced the old search engine with a new one. We're excited to make it easier to find old posts and comments, but we've only taken our first pass on the tools we're offering. We're focused on making search even better than what you had before, so please know that we're aware search is missing key features and we're working on it.

What's New

Schedule, Scores, Stats and Roster

Dawg Sports now has all the basic information about the Georgia Bulldogs and hundreds of other teams. During games you'll see a regularly updated line score, and as the season progresses we'll track team stat totals and leaders. This is just our first step, so look for us to publish more detailed and archival stats in the future. The best part about all this sports data is that we've integrated it directly into the blog so. We now have special pages that aggregate all blog posts written about games, players and teams.

Recommending FanPosts

Some writing deserves more attention and more conversation. If you want to bump a FanPost up to the top and keep it there for awhile, just click the 'Rec' link under the body of the post. When a FanPost receives enough recommendations it will make the recommended list.

Auto-refreshing Comments

You no longer need to refresh the page to see new comments. If you're logged in, new comments will automatically appear on the page every few seconds. When you post a comment, the page will not refresh either. If you want to quickly cycle through all the new comments, you can press the C key on your keyboard. Unmark a new comment after you've read it with the X key. And use the Z key if you want to umark comments as you're cycling through them.

As you use these shortcuts to cycle through comments, press the R key to reply to the current comment. All these helpful keyboard shortcuts are listed at the top of each comments section for reference.

Recommending Comments

Now you can reward those folks who take the time to look up stats and make smart arguments in the comments. Next to each comment there is an 'actions' link that you can click to find the recommend and flag options.

Flagging Comments

To help the moderators on a site, we've built-in tools that let you flag comments that are spam, trolling or just plain inappropriate. Only moderators can see those flags.

FanShots

Many members of the community just want to post that one link, video, photo or quote, but don't need a full FanPost. We've got you covered: FanShots let you share YouTube videos, Flickr or PhotoBucket photos, quotes from articles, portions of chat transcripts, top 5 lists and simple links. If it's a video or image we'll put a thumbnail on the homepage when you post it.

For those of you who are experienced internet hunter-gatherers of Georgia Bulldogs material, install the bookmarklet onto the links bar of your browser and share FanShots with the community from wherever on the web you find that killer quote or photo.

Avatars

Upload an image so folks can see your custom avatar on your profile, your FanPosts, and all your comments.

Network Profiles

Now that we have unified SB Nation network accounts, your profile will be your central hub for all of your activity on any blogs where you are a member.

Network bar

The top bar stays with you on all SB Nation blogs. It's a quick way to login and logout. When you're logged in, you'll see your avatar and screen name which links to your profile. The icon to the right leads to your Dashboard area where you can edit your settings, profile, account details and any FanPosts or FanShots you've published. As we add more blogs to the new SB Nation network, the My Blogs menu will be a handy way to navigate between the blogs you've joined.

-------

There are plenty more small changes and additions we've made, so please take a careful look around and explore this new system. We appreciate your patience and hope you'll help us improve the new platform for this and all the other SB Nation blogs.

And in case you missed it, you'll want to start by claiming your old blog accounts and creating a new SB Nation network account.

Eavesdropping on the enemy...the Rivalry is back.

DavetheDawg — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:52:48 -0000

I live in south Florida. Weston, to be exact. As you can imagine, lots of gators (we're literally on the edge of the Everglades). And, lots of Gators. The kind that bow to Gainesville and wear Jorts. In south Florida, like most of the state, it is pro-UF. They're everywhere...kind of like silverfish.

I overheard a couple of guys at my local diner the other day talking about college football. My interest piqued when the subject of the WLOCP came up in their conversation. These guys were about my age: mid-40s. They also were obviously Florida Gators. My attempt at eavesdropping was constantly interrupted by my wife as she was attempting her own conversation with me over such drival as, "When are you going to finish re-screening the pool cage," and "we got another letter from the homeowners association about our sidewalk. It's still dirty." I love you, honey...but please. The enemy speaketh: Know Thy Enemy.

The jist of the conversation seemed to be about how great their Spring game was. How great the offense looked. How great the defense looked...at times. Then, as if a fog of despair had rolled in, the subject quickly changed. "That Knowshon Moreno killed us. Absolutely killed us."

"Yeah, Stafford ain't that great (keep thinking that, buddy), but they've got Herschel, Jr. back there again."

However, they didn't dwell on this subject too long. Of course they brought up the "Dark Ages" (1990-2003) and all was right again in their world.

But these guys are old enough to know. They weren't born during the Reagan administration and only have a 15 year period to reference their entire football heritage. These guys were around when Appleby-to-Washington stung 'em in '75. They remember "4th and Dumb." The 1980s was just as painful to them as the 1990s were to us.

"No way anyone in this rivalry reels off more than 2 or 3 in a row. Parity," says one.

"Oh, I think we'll still own Georgia, but they'll sneak in a win every 2 to 3 years to keep it hot," says the other.

Then, the conversation quickly turned be to their defense and ultimately Knowshon. "We've got to find a way to stop Knowshon."

By now, my wife is ordering her third glass of bad Pinot Grigio.

"Sorry, honey." I say. "I just wanted to hear the thoughts of some of my contemporaries." She'll never understand because she's British.

"Well, did you enjoy their conversation?" she asked.

"Thoroughly." I said.

Folks, it is a rivalry again. Perhaps not in the minds of anyone born after 1980, but definately in the consciousness of a large population of Gators who know. If we can win again in Jacksonville, I think it'll make believers out of every gator.

Go Dawgs!

Cost of going to the Sugar Bowl

SkiDawg1985 — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:54:11 -0000

http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/uga/stories/2008/05/06/gaexpenses_0507.html

Seems like a big waste of money. I do not want to hear the UGA athletics dept crying about money as long as crap like this goes on.

What are they saying about Georgia hoops?

T Kyle King — Mon, 05 May 2008 03:29:48 -0000

Here's what our colleague, Truzenzuzex, had to say:

Dennis Felton's amazing run through the SEC tournament probably saved his job, or at least serious discussion of a change at the top in Athens. Georgia loses not only the great Sundiata Gaines, but also Dave Bliss, who was the force for the Bulldogs in the paint. However, Georgia brings back a talented group of athletes, including Albert Jackson, a 6'10" post player who really came on strong at the end of the year, and Terrance Woodbury, a talented wing. Add to that a strong recruiting class that includes Howard Thomkins, a Rivals 4-star who was very impressive in the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic, and Georgia figures to be a solid team next year. I don't expect the Dawgs to seriously contend for the SEC East, but I think they are solid enough to play in the post season, and have a reasonable chance of going to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row.

Felton's team is probably one year and a solid point guard away from being a threat in the East, but they have plenty of beef on the front line, some decent overall depth and some talented, athletic players coming in.

Agree? Disagree?

Go 'Dawgs!

I want to have my say too

fotodog — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:55:22 -0000

As SG Standard noted the blogosphere can be likened to sports talk radio. While there is probably less screening of commenters on blogs, if you have listened to any talk radio for 15 minutes, you have definitely heard some lame callers. And with blogs, you don't have to deal with "Hey, Paul, love the show, how are you?", which begins EVERY freakin' call (if the last 5 callers asked, you don't have to ask also).

And as MaconDawg noted, the best bloggers usually rise to the top and get the most traffic. People who offer something more than just the ordinary opinion or schlock, get readers (just like newspapers or viewers for TV).

And as Joel noted, there is definitely a misconception that all journalist are qualified professionals. As a J-school grad, I can tell you that the only things a "professional journalist" learns that someone else might not learn is:

What makes something newsworthy?
Make sure you find a second or multiple sources.
Laws regarding slander and libel
Writing techniques, like using active voice

Frankly, the newsworthiness standard has been blurred when you consider all the "news" that gets espoused on various media outlets.
I think some of the blogosphere does come short on #2 at times, but there are some very responsible bloggers as well.
As Orson and the proprietor of this blog noted, just about all of you are lawyers, so hopefully you all understand libel and slander.
Finally, good writers will always attract readers.

But as SG Standard and DavetheDawg noted, probably the bigger issue is the massive change that is occurring in the media.

I agree with what most of Dave said. As someone who worked for 9 years in small and medium TV markets in the southeast, I can attest that ESPN has changed the face of local coverage of sports. I have argued with station management about this with little avail. Specifically, I remember when the station I was at decided to permanently drop the sports tease in the 6pm news. For those of you who don't know, that's when they are about to go to a commercial break after weather and say, "The Braves were in another game decided by 1-run, did it turn out like the other 1-run games this season? Fred will have the answer in sports." When I asked why the station had made this decision they said viewership in sports was down and so they weren't putting as much emphasis on it. My response was, "if you draw less attention to sports, it isn't going to gain any viewers. Why not try to improve the product?" There are 2 ways that most TV stations have addressed the sports issue caused by ESPN and the internet's emergence: 1) cut time allotted, cut staff and reduce coverage or 2) go more local in your coverage. Unfortunately, many stations chose the former. I prefer the latter. In big markets, this usually means a lot of stories about the local professional franchises, which ESPN may not have time for. In smaller markets, it means more coverage of local colleges and high school sports. If you haven't noticed, Friday nights in the fall are a big deal at some TV stations (thankfully).

But a more recent trend is the effect caused by the increase in the speed of information transmission. We can get info very fast these days and in news, being faster is important. Unfortunately, it is becoming more important that being right or being good. "Get it on now!" has replaced "Is this important?" or "Is this quality journalism?" And it is not just small market "bush league" stations that are guilty. If you watch the nightly news, you get coverage of a campaign chalked full of polls instead of coverage of issues (of course, you also get a hundred ads for pharmaceuticals, but that is another issues). I fear, and maybe Bob and Buzz do to, that journalism is in decline, as news operations have become assembly line purveyors of "fast food" information. Maybe the blogosphere does serve up its fair share of junk food, but it isn't any worse than what is becoming the norm in papers and on TV stations. I think rather than collectively bash the bloggers; maybe Bob and Buzz should talk a look at their brethren and focus on improving that group.

However, the blogoshere is subject to the pitfalls of the need for immediacy. Since many bloggers are not full-time journalist and writers, it is quite easy for someone to run with a story or photo without having good or complete info. While there is some need to prevent carelessness among bloggers, I think that in many cases, readers can discern what is true and what is not or what is farked.

As Kyle and others noted, there is room for the mainstream media and the blogosphere to work together or at least compliment each other. I think you only have to look at ESPN to see that is true. Like him or not, Simmons is a blogger working for "The Worldwide Leader...". And what is SportsNation, but a community much like that built up by Orson, Leitch, Bean, King, PWD and others.

Na Derris Ward

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:45:43 -0000

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if you could tell us Duck fans anything about Na Derris Ward. My understanding is that his transfer is under amicable conditions. We keep hearing about how highly regarded he was out of this school. The questions: how much did he see the field last year, and is he any good?

Shaving facial hair in relation to basketball vs. in relation to Football

loran smith — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:05:42 -0000

So, the F-bomb is paying up to the students Friday at Tate by shaving off his 'stache. http://onlineathens.com/stories/041608/mensbb_2008041600214.shtml

What is our official take here at DawgSports with the recent advocacy of as much facial hair as possible?

Is there a correlation between facial hair and basketball and facial hair and football?

47

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:21:58 -0000

G-Day (inadvertently) reminded me once again of one of my biggest pet peeves about the Georgia program - one of our current players (I have no idea who) wears number 47.

David Pollack, in only three years, registered 283 tackles, 58.5 for a loss and 34 sacks, a Georgia record. He was responsible for 117 QB pressures, 18 defensed passes, 4 (that's right 4) interceptions, 7 forced fumbles (with three recoveries) and four blocked kicks.

David Pollack won SEC Player of the Year in 2002, Defensive Player of the Year in 2004, 2 Hendricks Awards, the Lomardi Award, the Bednarik Award and the Lott Trophy.

No player ever played harder, with more determination or fire. Few played with the same stregth of character. For a generation of Georgia fans, David Pollack (along with David Greene) is the ultimate expression of Georgia football. His play against South Carolina is emblazoned on the pages of Georgia lore forever, not only as a great moment in itself, but as the first chapter in the story of the program's greatest hero.

That's right, it's greatest. Herchel was amazing, but everybody knew he would be before he ever stepped on campus. As possibly the biggest recruit of all time, his success, while extraordinary, wasn't beyond the imagination.

David Pollack was a fullback his freshman year. Pollack is the embodiement of Finish the Drill, of work ethic and desire, of all those things your father tried to teach you when you were small.

David Pollack is the programs second three-time All American. The first has already had his number retired.

It's time for another retirement ceremony.

F- Bomb's promise?

dawgaddict — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:28:27 -0000

Does anyone but me remember CDF's promise last week?

He agreed to shave his head and moustache if the Dawgs won the SEC Championship....anyone know the status?
Right after the game I asked Mrs. Felton about it, but she was crying and on her way to the floor. (i'm rude like that)

I want pictures...

There Is No Way This Just Happened!!!!

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:51:24 -0000

Friends, the Georgia Bulldogs are the SEC Tournament Champions, and there are going to be SEC Champion t-shirts and hats in the UGA Bookstore and other places tomorrow morning. Let that sink in for a minute or two and try not to laugh....... see you can't do it. I watched the game from start to finish and there are no words to describe the utter joy I feel at this moment. When the last second ticked off, I began shrieking at the top of my voice, hugged my best friend and my campus minister, and proceeded to run out of the room stripping off my lucky shirt and cap in classic European soccer style proclaiming our sudden and inexplicable superiority to all that would here me.

What our team has just accomplished is more than extraordinary, its unprecedented!!! We won four games in three days, played the championship game on our arch-rival's home court in front of 1,000 people, and did this with a nine man roster!! I know there have been a lot of people hounding Dennis Felton this year, but what he has done with this team is astounding. He squad never gave up on him, and they played their hearts out. With a great recruiting class coming in next year, I hope that this accomplishment will energize the UGA fanbase (the alumni attendance at games is shameful), kick start this program, and make us a force to be reckoned with.

Here's to Yata Gaines and Dave Bliss on a great career here in Athens, and lets cheer them on throughout the tournament. Its great to be relevant again.

GO DAWGS!!! TO HELL WITH XAVIER!!!!

Win 202

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 23:56:25 -0000

If Richt's VPY (victories per year) stays the same for the next 13 years his 202nd victory will come in the year 2020, his 20th as Head Coach at the University of Georgia. If we begin that season 6 and 0, the battle for 202 will take place at the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. See you there, blogger who came in from the cold. I'll be the 33-year-old in the ragged Moreno jersey.

My two cents. . .

MaconDawg — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:01:27 -0000

Editorial commentI went to post this at 1:55 pm, only to discover that bloggin' dynamo Kyle King had beaten me to the punch. So I thought I'd post some additional thoughts in the diaries. . .

As has been widely reported in the media and across the blogosphere, Coach Richt received a pay raise yesterday that brings his estimated compensation from $2.2 million per year to $2.8 million.

The AJC asks whether or not that is enough, and points out that the raise only makes Richt the fifth highest paid football coach in the SEC. Paul WesterDawg notes however that it's really fifth or sixth, and provides some really good context on the matter. Paul is dead on in a couple of key respects.

One is that in a broader national context, Coach Richt is roughly in the top 10% of Division 1-A football coaches, right around Mack Brown, Jim Tressel and Rich Rodriguez. That is where he should be. The fact that Arkansas's boosters are stupid enough to shell out for a guy who was generally very good at Louisville before presiding over a slow motion trainwreck of God-awful football wretchedness in the Georgia Dome only proves that a fool and his money are soon parted. It doesn't prove that Petrino is properly compensated, nor that Richt is undercompensated. And by the way, is there anyone who doesn't believe that Kirk Ferentz is the most overpaid coach in college football? A 19-18 overall record in the SEC from 2005-2007 would have seen Ferentz standing next to Ed Orgeron in the unemployment line, not pulling down $3 million plus a year.

The other is that Coach Richt is within spitting distance of the top 6, all of whom have at least one national championship (except for one rotund fellow in a gray sweatsuit. You'd think for $4.2 million Charlie Weis could drag his butt down to the Big & Tall shop for a pair of Dockers, wouldn't you?). I remain firmly convinced that Mark Richt will hoist a BCS National Championship Trophy over his head before he cleans out his Butts-Mehre office, and when he does, I think he'll get not only the hefty bonus found in his contract, but also a tidy pay raise.

As I noted in the comments to Orson's doom and gloom look at what could go wrong for the 'Dawgs this season(Matt Stafford + fatty dairy products = trouble), SEC football, especially at Georgia, is a cash cow. Assuming we don't go Mike Leach crazy with our facilities improvements or try to hire Pat Riley to coach the basketball team, I suspect that we can come up with as much cash as we need to keep Coach Richt happy. Speaking of which, here's what Coach Richt had to say about his pay raise:

"I've always been excited about being at Georgia," said Richt. "That has never waned. I feel like I've been treated extremely well in a lot of areas, one area being salary. I've never felt like I've been mistreated in any way. I've always been treated extremely well and I'm thankful. I was excited a month ago, and I'm excited today. The money really doesn't drive me, but a strong contract means good stability for the program and it means good stability for our coaching staff and for our players too, I believe."

Translation? Coach Richt, like everyone else, wants to be fairly compensated for his work. He doesn't have to be the highest paid coach in the country for that to happen. He also has an athletic administration that will bend over backwards to give him everything he wants (except an indoor you know what of course . . .), a strong recruiting base, and a great locale to live and work in. Admittedly, Richt's not the first coach to say, in essence "it's not all about the money." But he is one of the few who can probably say that plausibly.

So, to review, Mark Richt did a great job last year and he got a 27.3% pay raise as a result. That's not a bad thing no matter what your tax bracket.

I Heart Mark Richt

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:39:42 -0000

Over on David Ching's excellent blog there's a post in which Mark Richt talks about his raise.

I love the part about how he's putting roots down in Athens, which seems to indicate he wants to finish his career here. I love the part about looking at the money more as a lure for recruits than a raise.

But what I really love, what made me very, very proud to have Richt as our coach, is the following sentence about the extra 800,000 dollars:

"It's just more that we can find a good cause we can give it to."

Damn good Dawg.

both Bailey Bros are Broncos

Boss Bailey has joined his brother Champ as a Denver Bronco! As a resident of the Denver area and a GA alumna, I might actually watch a Bronco's game now! I'm completely jazzed! An interview with the Bailey brothers can be found on www.cbs4denver.com. Also, to my dear friends Kyle and Susan congrats on the birth of Elizabeth. I always thought you would name a girl Lindsey Scott King, but Elizabeth Rose is quite lovely.

Chick-Fil-A with bacon

First off, long time reader, first time writer. Today I strolled up to the local Chick-Fil-A and ordered a #1 minus the pickle and add bacon. The girl working the counter acted like I was not supposed to know that I could as for that. Let me just say that it was pure Heaven on a bun. Thank you DawgSports for turning me onto this little piece of perfection.

If You Could Forgive One Man in Sports......

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:08:14 -0000

All this Roger Clemens talk seems to have people divided into two groups. One group says give him a pass, and the other group says he should be held accountable for his (alleged) actions. This got me thinking. Should he be given a pass? Should he still be a first ballot Hall of Famer? Should he be in the HOF at all? With those questions in my mind I ask you this; If you had one vote to cast for "forgiveness" who would you cast it for? (Let's just stick to the sports world please) Would it be for a guy like Steve Bartman? Scott Norwood? Roger Clemens, Marion Jones? To take it one step further, who would you allow into the HOF who isn't there now (or you don't see getting in when their time comes) but you think should be? To see our list of names click here.

Who do you think deserves the pass into the Hall? Remember you can only pick one for the Hall.
