Literally no one is scared of anything UGA has done
Feb 8, 2018, 2:16 PM
|

on the Recruiting trail or on the Football field since 1980. Not the least of which is Clemson, who has won 2 National Titles since then, and has been in 3 straight playoffs. Message board idiots, please understand this.
You see, its easy to ride talent like Chubb and Mitchell to a National Title Game appearance. Its most certainly where UGA football should have been for Decades. But again, that's the easy part. What defines a program is losing those guys, plus 31 Seniors, and how many ever undergrads like Roquan Smith, yet getting back there in 2018...and 2019 and so on. That road in the future may not include multiple teams that have all but fired their coach.

History is meaningless with a different staff. Kind of like how Dabo isn't Tommy Bowden. Georgia has solid coaching now and a great state to recruit in. They will be a powerhouse and they are on the rise.

Mark Richt is gone, but the culture is still there. Thats the problem with UGA.
They always had the coaches, the facilities, the money, the recruits, and the boosters.
What they dont have is the culture. The atmosphere in Athens is akin to a backwoods South Beach. Nothing but parties, parties, parties. There is a reason major rappers always rep UGA. Its a school highlighted by its nightlife and club scene. And what a great party town it is.
Unfortunately, that is not conducive to keeping players on track. And the attitude and culture that goes along with that is also counter intuitive to developing disciplined players.
Culture is a huge factor in program development. Clemson has it, Bama has it, FSU has it, OSU has it.
UGA, does not.
UGA will not be relevant. They may sniff the playoff in a few years, but they will not surpass us or Bama, or OSU.
Not to mention, they play in the weakest division in college football. Iron sharpens iron. Unfortunately for UGA, cupcakes don't fair well in iron sharpening.

So your football analysis is Georgia won't win a National Championship because Athens is a party town? Coaching doesn't matter? Recruiting doesn't matter? X's and O's don't matter? There's just too much fun in Athens.

is one of a kind. I couldn't agree more. That said, Miami has won national titles. USC has as well. Athens won't be a problem if UGA recruits well enough and the coaches do a good job. I see them pretty stacked over the next 5 years.

I'll still agree with the statement that Spurrier always repeated, best time to play UGA is the first of the season bc they are still attempting to get their players out of jail or off of suspension. Even though he didn't actually say out of jail, that was what he meant!!!

What a joke OP is. Yea they didn't win the natty but they played tough and are bringing in elite talent. All the while the East is a massive dumpster fire. Who is scared of UGA? The entire SEC LEast. They have a one game season in the SECCG that is the tipping point of the playoffs for the foreseeable future, not a bad place to be.
Clemson isn't "scared" of them but #### well better respect them. We have a hell of a shot at seeing them in the playoffs in the next few years.

Your post could have easily been about Clemson a few years ago (though we weren't ever Top 5 level in recruiting). Why the heck would you bet on UGA failing after they did so well under a new coach this past year?

Based on ONE year. How many one-hit wonders do we need to see before we learn ONE good year and one below average year don't sum up to, "they have a bright future over the next 5 years though". Sounds like you're trying to make an definite and objective post, but in reality it's subjective and highly speculative. IMO.

So, are you expecting Bama and Saban to go on vacation. Lets not forget if Saban would have started Tua at the start of the game, the game would have been over by the start of the 4th quarter!!!

And how would Clemson have done had Tua started the game against them? Bama dominated Clemson in the Sugar Bowl with Hurts at QB.

Only Tennessee has a tougher permanent SECW partner (they've played Alabama 18 more times than Auburn), so Florida will continue to have an easier path to the SECCG. There won't be two teams from the same conference again if it stays a four team playoff.

Exactly, nobody gave us any credit after a number of good winning season before our 1st NCG against Bama, and not much after beating Bama for the NC. I guess it's totally different if it's another sec team that's playing Bama!!!

a playoff habit over the next 5 years.
Alabama? Anyone else in the SEC? Certainly nobody in the east. Auburn and LSU do not have better indicators than UGA right now. Who in the Big Ten? Ohio State? Anyone else? Who in the Pac 12? Who in the ACC other than Clemson? Who in the Big 12?
You are forgetting that UGA is not in a vacuum. We have more reasons to think they will be in the natty picture than we do for the vast majority of other schools.

There is nothing (other than one anomaly season) which would indicate UGA is a team to put in the top 4 for a playoff birth.I am going to venture to guess they will not be in the top 4 to start next year. What do you think?

Top 4 necessarily relies on a relative assessment of other

teams. If there are not several teams who you think will be better, then they are likely to be an elite team.
If team A sucks, and everyone is worse than team A then that sucky team A is #1.
You need to believe that other teams are better if you are going to believe that UGA is not likely to be a top team.
UGA, Bama, Ohio State and Clemson seem to have the best arguments right now. If there are no better bets, that makes UGA a likely top 4. What better bets are there? Penn State? USC? UGA has a more solid case than they do IMO.

Most overrated statement in college football. Do some research.....My count has but 13 of those seniors in the two-deep. Many of those seniors were walkons and scout-steamers.
Kirby has 8 returning on offense and 5 returning on defense. I'm confident that from the his last three recruiting classes (#9,#3,#1) coach smart will be able to fill 9 vacancies.
Kirby never sleeps. Amazing how he's lapped the field in just two short years!

And btw, can you list out all your returning "starters" and their snaps? Frankly I don't care to do the research, but apparently you feel up to it.

No I'm not doing your research but you are misinformed. How did you feel about Dabo's first season? You apparently don't understand Kirby's drive. He's Saban with a better recruiting base. Kirby just missed a natty in his second season with what will be his least talented team. He just signed 7 of the espn top 25....let that sink in. Now I wish he could coach......oh, wait!

Well I for one look forward to renewing our rivalry in the playoffs. Others can pretend y'all are no good but I know college football. When a great program like Georgia gets a great coach and great players they are going to be in the hunt for the Natty. Hopefully we see y'all there next year.

They return their 2nd leading tackler and 5 of their top 10 in tackles. Their O returns 4 OL, QB, 2 WRs, and a dang good rB.

If memory serves me correctly, 7 of those 31 seniors were starters. Of course, that's counting Sony Michel as a back up since Chubb was considered the starter. But Sony proved to be the better back in 2017. So you could say 8 of those seniors were starters.
Offensive starters leaving:
Nick Chubb *Sony Michel Isaiah Wynn Javon Wims
Defensive starters leaving:
Roquan Smith (junior) Trent Thompson (junior) Lorenzo Carter John Atkins Davin Bellamy Aaron Davis Malkom Parrish Dominick Sanders
Reggie Carter, who was a senior, also saw significant playing time due to Natrez Patrick's suspensions.
With that said, 5 of the top 10 players in tackles will be returning (numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) and 11 of the top 20. Point being, while Georgia is losing a lot on defense, they are returning some experienced players.
And on offense, while losing Chubb and Michel is huge, anyone who watched D'Andre Swift play knows that we won't see much of a drop off at RB, if any. Especially since they only have to replace one offensive lineman.
Look, I get being a "homer", but I believe Georgia is definitely in the talk of the playoff for years to come. As a lifelong Georgia fan, I think I speak for most fans when I say our attitude has changed. We've gone from hoping we win the big games to expecting to win those games.
I think you can chalk up the 8-5 2016 season to a few things. Kirby being a first year coach having to go through the learning curve of game management, a very weak O-line (our best option at left tackle was a graduate transfer from Rhode Island) and a team having to learn a new scheme (both on offense and defense).
Ask any current Georgia player from the 2013-2015 classes (pre-Kirby) and they'll tell you Kirby is much more demanding than Richt was (and I love Mark Richt). He has really changed the culture. From the way they practice, to the weight room and nutrition and to how every person who has contact with the players speaks.
So while you believe the jury is still out on Kirby and that Georgia is unproven, I tend to believe we are right up there with Bama, Clemson and Ohio State. And I think I will be proven right over the next few years. If there's one year in the next 4-5 that we aren't in the playoff hunt, it's this upcoming year due to the large loss of starters on defense. But I think we win the East this year.

I thought that was already established?
If Kirby "never sleeps" (LOL), then why did UGA suck out loud in his first year? He hasn't proven a darn thing, and I'm going to say he won't (at least as a head coach at UGA).
And btw, can you list out all your returning "starters" and their snaps? Frankly I don't care to do the research, but apparently you feel up to it.
We losing these senior starters.....
On offense....RBs Chubb, Michel. LT Wynn, WR Wims.
On defense.... DEs Carter,Bellamy, DL Atkins, LBer Carter, CBs Davis,Parrish S Sanders.
Total # of 5-stars on roster-
Bama-15 Uga- 13
Total # of 4 -stars on roster
Bama- 49 Uga-45
Players in the Rivals 100
Bama- 27 Uga- 29
Just saying that we'll be competitive.

Superdawg.. let me refresh your memory.
We all just watched Saban embarrass Kirby in the 2nd half of the natty. He's nowhere close to saban. They pissed that game away almost as bad as the falcons last year.

I didn't say it was everything. Maybe someone else did, but not me. I also do not hink Kirby has provn a darn thing, and Athens is a tough place to tame the team.
But since you brought it up do they lose any juniors?
Mr. Dawg, apparently your friend, is supposed to be getting back to me with his list of 13 returning starters including snap counts. So that would be interesting. And btw, is 13 a lot? Sounds below average to me, and the defense is basically gutted as well.

We only returned 12 last year and made it back. So I do believe 13 is enough especially considering the RBs they will still have and have coming in along with Fromm at QB and Hardman at WR. Kirby is a D minded coach so I wouldn't be too worried about their D. They may not make the playoff but you act like they are a 1 hit wonder is ignorant. Nobody is saying they are the next Bama but they have been a top 10-15 team for as long as I have been alive and they are trending up obviously. Unless ofcourse you are blind.

coming back, and yeah, perhaps Dabo even overachieved.
But Smart on the other hand, has proven NOTHING. I'm still waiting on Mr. Dawg to list out his 13 returning "starters", and their snaps, and after he does that we can take a closer look later.
But come on man, the "blind" stuff is garbage. It makes no sense at all.

No it makes plenty of sense man. You are saying UGA is a one hit wonder. I am not saying they for sure make the playoffs but to act as if they are not set to make a run the next 5 years is garbage. I will bet you all day that they do not lose more than 2 games in the regular season next year.

I don't Smart is all that smart. I've watched him on the sidelines and heard his (already tired) cheering sessions. He sucks.
I don't think Smart will even make it 5 more years, but I am willing to bet UGA does not make the playoffs in the 2018 season.
Are you willing to bet UGA loses at least 2 games next year? Your call.

I thought Kirby started in 2016, and led Richt's 10-win team to 5 losses and only 8 wins? Losses to Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vandy, Florida, and GT.

I am 25 and have been watching college football since I was a baby. Being old does not mean you know more about the sport. Ofcourse their is no reasoning with me if you think Georgia is just going to fall off the map this year. That is idiotic. I just do not understand how you think they are just going to be mediocre next year.

Feb 10, 2018, 5:36 PM

taht would mean I've witnessed more than TWICE the football you have. When I was your age, I was still playing football, but the fact of the matter is I don't know as then as I do now.
Fact is, I've seen more flash in the pan coaches than the number of head coaches you can list right now. No googling, no cheating. Go!
Most often age equals wisdom. No offense, but in my opinion, the difference of wisdom between the two of us is clearly obvious. You simply don't see this simple fact, or the errors in your "argument".
I never said UGA was going to fall off the map, nor did I say they were going to be mediocre.
Please try to slow down, breath, and think.

I can name almost every coach at a power 5 school but I am not about to do all that right now. Ofcourse you grow in wisdom with your age. You may love football as much as I. I know what a good football team is and I know what a good coach is. Smart is building on what UGA already has been. They always win 9-10 games a year except maybe once every 5-10 years they have a down year. They have no comp in the east. They may not win the sec but they will be in the championship game and in the cfp talk. What are you trying to say about them if you don't think they are going to be mediocre?

But you are acting childish with this. I mean called out dawg fan to list returning players, really who gives a crap. For two years straight our defense and one year our defense and offense was gutted. The media and non believers cried loudly how bad we would be. We just keep right on like we still had those players. I don’t understand why you are all up in Kirby is a ###### coach when he took his team to the national championship game in his second year. I would say you can’t really judge his ability until he has coached more games

Speaking of the “culture” that has established itself down in Athens and the supposed “stellar” class they just signed:
1. A few of these kids will no doubt get into “some kind” of trouble
2. Some of them will fail academically because of said “party” culture and
3. Some (if discipline is actually enforced at an “SEC” school) will be dismissed from the team for various and assundary reasons.
Mark it down!
They are a “one and done”...

The point is that the committee will be hard pressed to keep putting 2 SEC teams in the final four and have any hope of maintaining the current system. We should be in it for the foreseeable future and two SEC teams will leave three power conferences fighting for one spot. Left out conferences will riot after a while.
UGA should continue to win the East for the next several years and I think their championship game will get the only SEC team in the finals and it doesn't much matter whether we play them or Bama.

No they won't. 2017 was an anomaly. In a normal year 2 SEC teams will not make the playoffs. And I'm not buying that idea that UGA will win the SEC East every year. Dan Mullen is a great coach, a much better coach than Kirby. Florida is going to win a lot of those battles.

The SEC east has been fairly light duty for a while now.
Feb 9, 2018, 9:12 AM
|

When and if UF and UT get back in the football business the row will be tougher to hoe. Smart may be a really good coach but that's TBD. At least he's going to have a learning curve.
Imo, recruiting ranking don't consider needs and other critical factors on grading a class. They compare raw data without regard to character and such. For that reason I don't think there's often a big difference between the #1 through the #10 class.
UGA is about where UGA has been in recruiting for a long while now. We'll see how it works out for them but as far as any team fearing them, who fears Bama?

You do realize that Kirby just signed not only the #1 class but 19 of the top espn 300......13 of the top 75...... and 7 of the top 25.
Expect this for many years to come.....Kirby never sleeps......his 2019 class is ranked # 1 as well.
Remember...Dabo is looking for a QB......Kirby has his.
The delusion by some tiger fans is amazing. The sleeping giant has finally awoken and people are skeered.

I meant Dabo hadn't named a starter....Of course you have qbs.

is 1-1 against you . I don't care about ancient history . However I will concede that The Dawgs are a perennial top ten team now . It's Your Buddy Superdawg swallower that I disagree with . Why do you think Wilkens , Bryant and Ferrel came back . They are going to hoist that trophy again . How's ya'lls basketball team coming along ?
