UGA Football Recruiting 312 Comments

Author /

Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    Greg Poole  I got my tickets from a buddy who works for the CFA Peach Bowl, so I don’t want to call and bug him about the tickets if they haven’t been printed yet.

  3. 1mandawgpack

    For anyone going to the UNC game, do you know if tickets have been printed and mailed yet?

    Greg Poole I realize there is a desire by some to blame Richt when it rains anymore, but I dont see even a hint of him blaming anyone in this quote.

    Greg Poole They deserve that an more IMO.  I hope they never are good again.  In 1982 when we lost to Penn St I was about as alright with losing to them as I could be to any team in football not named UGA.  Joe Pa’s image was of an honest recruit,  good coach with a near perfect graduation rate.  Now they rank below Notre Dame, the team I had always disliked the most.  That took some doing to fall that low.

    Today’s drivers are to NASCAR heritage much like today’s Country music stars are to that heritage. Making it PC and watered down. They are both losing core audiences in waves because of it

    MMCSDAWG I was in Asheville NC buying furniture when this game was played. The Dawgs played extremely well in this game. 
    Glad Richt got rid of the black stripe in the middle of the helmet.

  16. Greg Poole

    converted 1981 Not sure it was after he committed but it was far too late – like a year or more too late.

  17. converted 1981

    DawgByte MMCSDAWG You mean they turned their backs on the “Shine Runners”!!!!!

  18. converted 1981

    1mandawgpack DawgByte AlphaDawg Can think of 3 top flight running backs that almost had their career ended on that turf just in the past few years.

  19. converted 1981

    DawgByte AlphaDawg Greg Poole IF I remember correctly we did Not show any interest in DW until After he had committed to clemsux.  Which was/is a shame!  Imagine If UGA had had him at QB the last 2 years.  Anybody see a difference in us moving the ball and scoring points.

  24. DawgByte

    AlphaDawg Greg Poole Completely agree. Cannot pass the buck on the Watson recruitment. Now, we may never know if DeShaun had any interest in UGA or if he was a Clemson guy from Day 1, but as the head coach when you have an in state talent of Watson’s caliber you have to be actively engaged in recruiting him and not delegate.

  26. Richmondawg

    1mandawgpack DawgByte AlphaDawg we have the same issues here in central Virginia. Too cold for most southern varietals, too hot for the northern ones.

  29. AlphaDawg

    biggityben AlphaDawg Greg Poole Same as Greg. Reading he’s not going to qualify

  30. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole Blame all you want but you’re the head man, and you do what’s best for your program.

  31. Greg Poole

    Subtle shift of blame to Bobo by Richt?
    ” Mark Richt on recruiting Deshaun Watson to UGA: “I told (OC) Mike Bobo, this guy is going to take someone to a national championship.” Richt said he was convinced as soon as Clemson signed Watson, they’d be great. His take on Watson’s TD pass vs Georgia in his first career game: “I was glad they took him out after that.”

    biggityben MMCSDAWG AlphaDawg  I really hope this young man flourishs under the new staff.  When he was signed, everyone thought he’d be a beast but he just hasn’t been able to see much playing time.

  34. 1mandawgpack

    DawgByte AlphaDawg  Tennessee (the State in general, but particularly the middle of the state and north) is a tough place to grow grass as the hot weather grasses (i.e., what we’re generally accustomed to – Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, etc.) typically don’t do well there (a bit colder winters, etc.), while the cool weather grasses (primarily fescue) do a bit better when the cooler weather sets in (and do ok in warmer weather so long as large volumes of water are dumped on them constantly), but aren’t as thick and plush and have poor root systems (as one seed represents one individual blade of grass and there are no “runners” that fill in bare spots, etc.).  UT has one of the foremost turf experts in the world on staff at the University, but the athletic department has refused to consult with him on their field problems.  Also, they kept expanding that stadium to be one of the biggest in the country (and have a huge debt burden – as well as paying several head coaches at the moment), so had no money to devote to the playing surface.

    Given the amount of money UGA has spent on injuries sustained playing on that awful field, when coupled with the fact that UT has actually admitted that it has had major issues with the turf in the stadium, I’m not sure why we don’t sue them for negligence in allowing our student athletes to play on a subpar surface that even they admit is prone to cause more injuries.

    AlphaDawg Sure wish I could borrow one of those lifts for a day to trim some tree limbs.

  38. DawgByte

    Doc R DawgByte MMCSDAWG I watched about 30 minutes of the race on Sunday and was bored to tears. I couldn’t believe how small the crowd was for a race at Indy.

  41. biggityben

    MMCSDAWG biggityben AlphaDawg That sounds right.  The article just says Sophomore…or I skimmed it too quickly haha.

  42. DawgByte

    MMCSDAWG DawgByte Couldn’t agree more.!
    As you point out, NASCAR went PC when they went to the cookie cutter car template, restricted carburetor and muffled exhaust. They wanted to appeal to women and potential fans outside of the SE and in doing so have alienated the very people who helped get them to the pinnacle of their popularity. It’s like Bill France & Co. sat in a board room in Charlotte and said, “Alright fellas, we’ve got fast American cars that people buy on Monday’s, capacity crowds, huge sponsor dollars and the most loyal fan base of any sport in the U.S. Okay, now it’s time change everything!”

  44. biggityben

    AlphaDawg Greg Poole What’s the story on the DL that is attempting to qualify for the 2016 class?  Not the Hawaiian fella.

  45. biggityben

    AlphaDawg Is Keyon Brown really only a sophomore?  I feel like he’s been on campus for ages.

  46. MMCSDAWG

    DawgByte It definitely ended for me when they went away from “STOCK” cars and went to a one fits all template car.  NASCAR forgot who their fans were and removed races from N. Wilksboro,  Rockingham, and only 1 race at Darlington now.  Did you watch any of the race at Indy this past weekend?  I record them and watch a boring ass race in about 45 minutes.  The stands were virtually empty, I would estimate 30% capacity.  NASCAR is definitely in decline and not sure how long they survive once the current TV contracts expire. 

    Get rid of the down force and return the horsepower, make the drivers lift and actually us driving skills to succeed and not engineering and 1.5% drag in a wind tunnel.
