Pain.........intense PAIN

Just watched the ESPN 2005 UGA/AU game. I kept telling myself.....\"just watch it until the 4th down fiasco and turn it off before they complete that pass for the 1st down\". Couldn't do it.....watched it ALL. Pain is all I could feel. So then I kept telling myself...\"that's ok, we won the SEC, that's all that counts\".
Nooooooo........there's STILL much PAIN. We gave that game away.
BTW, remember Oliver punching the ball out of the Auburn's WR hand at the 3 yard line that went into the end zone where AU recovered for a supposed TD on that 4th and 11 play? Then they brought back out to the 3 because you can't fumble the ball FORWARD on a 4th down play. If WE recover that fumble....game over. Anyway, WHAT a great heads up play by Oliver.
You know guys,PAIN never leaves you when the Dawgs lose, whether it's a live game or on tape.

walyton, one of the hardest things for me to do is watch a rerun of a UGA loss. Don't seem to have that problem when we win.
Quick question for you . . . what do you make of the talk between our AD and HC? Don't really know how much of an issue it is, but there seems to be some talking going on.

Ok, that's what I thought you might be referring to.
To me it's a \"catch-22\". You need a couple of strong non-conference games for your strength of schedule but you also don't need to get carried away and let it backfire on you as it seems that it has for us. Balance is a good thing. HEY, we are UGA!!!.....schedule some tough non-conference games BUT let them come to our HOUSE.
One word for UF's non-conference strength of schedule.......pathetic!! But what else would you expect from Foley and UM??????

I guess they expect there 3rd National Championship in 4 years. There non conference schedule isnt tops in the country, heck its even probably bottom of the country. But if the SEC is what we claim it is, a grind every week, then whats the point of making it harder than it has to be. If Ok St or GT were in the SEC, and had to grind it out every week, then we wouldnt think they were hard schools to play. The ACC and the Big 12 are weaker conferences so they need to play harder schools to boost there strength of schedule. SEC schools dont need to make it any harder on themselves. But when they schedule there own games they dont need to whine about there schedule and bash other teams for being smarter.

Scheduling weak opponents can also backfire on you. Just ask Donovan (oh and Foley), if he had a stronger non-conference schedule they would have made the Big Dance this year.
BTW, if you read the article, CMR isn't \"whining\" (as you say) about WHO they are playing but that it's just very tough and wearing on you from the travel standpoint.

Im not saaying that CMR is a whiner, he is one of the classiest coaches out there. But I see Dawg fans on a daily basis that do nothing but complain about how hard there schedule is. Everbody gets it, its a tough schedule, but its done now so its time to see what the team is made of. As far as Florida basketball is concerned if they had handled there business and won they SEC they would have no complaints, so I blame that on being under talented and being out coached, not there schedule.

3 players dismissed by Georgia for team rules violations
ATHENS — Three players have been kicked off the Georgia football team for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
UGA coach Mark Richt announced this morning that defensive back Nick Marshall, wide receiver Sanford Seay and defensive back Chris Sanders have been dismissed from the team. All three are freshmen and were members of Georgia’s 2011 “Dream Team” recruiting class.
The school did not address what precipitated the dismissals.
“It’s a privilege to play college football and to be a part of this team and University,” Richt said in a statement. “Along with that privilege comes certain responsibilities. Mistakes were made, and part of...

UGA has to report NCAA secondary violation due to comments on Harvey-Clemons
ATHENS — Georgia will have to report an NCAA secondary violation regarding its recruitment of Josh Harvey-Clemons. But as far as secondary violations go, they don’t get much more secondary than this one.
Jim Booz, UGA’s senior associate athletic director for compliance, confirmed to The AJC Thursday that coach Mark Richt ran afoul of NCAA bylaws when he commented on Harvey-Clemons shortly after the highly-touted prospect announced on national television his decision to sign with the Bulldogs on Wednesday. Harvey-Clemons’ signing ceremony at Lowndes High School in Valdosta was televised live by ESPN and the sports network also had a reporter...

UPDATED: Harvey-Clemons never wavered on UGA, just had to convince granddad
ATHENS — Josh Harvey-Clemons said he never wavered on his decision to sign with Georgia. He just had to convince his grandfather that it was the best move.
“I just had to sit down with my family and get everybody on the same page,” said Harvey-Clemons, reached by phone Thursday morning in Valdosta. “He was looking at it as Florida was closer. I’ve got a cousin who still plays at Lowndes and my little brother is going to be in high school next year. Florida is only like an hour and 20 minutes away, so he was thinking about going to...
