Sad times in Athens

Keep bringing it Buc. You are so right. bobo wouldn't be hired at ANY BCS school unless it's a conference dweller. Belue and Bobo need to get a room. it's sick listening to BB give Bobo an oral massage weekly on the show.

Oh, a friend of mine hosts a local sports show here on the same station as buck belue. says YahooSports is sitting on a major story that they will release one week before the season starts.

The only thing his buddy at yahoosports told my friend is it isn't Ole Miss or Arkansas but it is an SEC WEST school. says it's bigger than Ohio State, which leads me to believe it is going to be one of the worst scandals ever.

For obvious reasons (getting rid of saban and chizick since they are killing my state in recruiting) I hope its Bama or Auburn/.

The thriller post is dead on ..........(except for the exaggerated scores in the 1st two games etc.....we won't be THAT bad).

I have been reading and see that more and more are coming around to my way of thinking. I have said all along, all this talk from the players means NOTHING. I have said all along, that you must show me things have changed, talk does not win games. The things that I have read and heard, means to me, that NOTHING has changed in Athens, sure we have not had any arrest, but still players are leaving, they are still getting hurt ect. Wemust have the worse or the most sissy players in the state. We also should have enough back ups that when someone is hurt, the next players moves on in.

I truely dread this coming season, for we all will have to watch our dawgs get drilled by BS,USC, and most likely every team we play with the exception of coastsl carolina. This my friends will be the worse year that any of us old timers will remember. Things will change in Athens next year, we will have a new HC and OC. I don't see them making changes in mid season, but they will come.

I know every one was so excited about all the talk of S&C, and the talk of new attitude, but as we can see closer to the season, its all talk, once again, its not about team unity, its all about me. Why can't they be a team, and say that no matter who is on the OL, we will block, Don't expect IC to do it all by himself.

Our program has gone down hill every year, and it is no ones fault but CMR, I want to believe that I am being to hard, and that things will be different. I still stand by my perdiction that we win no more than 4 games this year. We will start the season 0-2 and things will spiral down hill from there.

I wish I could be more postive guys, but I am embarased for our great program, and it just makes me sick to think that USC and even Vandy are making strides to over take us and put us in the bottom of the east.

The Alabama people I know have been saying for weeks the Yahoo spread will be an expose of Auburn football.

Our offense looks like a similar story in a Stephen King novel. Did we tick off a gypsy or something? We will struggle without Anderson if the rumors are true. Any other word from the Classic city on Jarvis Jones and airline gate? Can't afford for the defense to get any thinner at LB either!

I'm sure anything in the yahoo news drop will not be a surprise on AU. Simply a verification of a lot of what we already knew.

Started a couple of times to say something about the attitudes in Athens.

It appears to me that too many of these players have their own ideas as to how they train and the way they present themselves in college.

Not for one minute do I think that these players leaving our team have ever had anything but a very laid back life. Having read a few posts at other sites, makes me want to do the IC. (That is short for puke). Thrilled that IC and the others that make up the "Dream Team" liked UGA enough to commit.

Question is . . . . did not only the Dream Team but several others on campus (some departed) not think that changes needed to be made. All of these players seem to like Richt and some of the other coaches, otherwise, they would probably be playing in the State of Alabama for the most part. What these young and some disgruntled players do not understand is this . . . Richt is hanging on by his finger nails. Changes had to be made or he would already be out the door.

Conditioning has gotten worse the last few years, and you can't play and win if you are out of shape. Might not mean anything to these BMOC coming out of high school, it however can cost Richt over 2 million a year.

McGarity spoke, Richt listened. Benedict waited for Richt to return from missionary work and discussed his situation with the head coach. Richt, knowing that his offensive line is being depleted said not only to Benedict but others, this is the way it is. Richt's plan for survival collapsed the minute McGarity was hired. This program is now being headed by someone that understands the overall picture. If JTII was doing things the wrong way, first person in his ear would be McGarity.

What we are witnessing right now, like it or not, the rebuilding of UGA's football team. This had to be done, and it was going to take someone with a couple of stones to stop kicking the can down the road and man up. Richt either mans up, produces results commensurate with his pay scale or his ass is grass and McGarity is the lawnmower.

JTII spends another year with the young pups on campus and the new recruits and we will see a change not only in attitude, a change in the fourth quarter. McGarity, JTII and Grantham are running a no BS program. Speaking for myself, damn right, I like good old fashioned kick butt toughness. We are witnessing the SABAN APPROACH. If you and I like what Bama has done on the football field, embrace what is happening in Athens, it is for our own good. I buy in. One season my butt, let's get the program back on the road.
