One if Buc's favorites: The infamous "in the arena" comment:

Here we are years later....

Wartdawg, David Ching was and is one of my favorites in the media. Don't have too many.

Actually sadlerdawg is the member that brought that POS comment from our head coach to this board.

While aware of what the head coach said then, appreciate you bringing the article to the board for some that might not know or have seen his comments.

Sorry, don't have time for those in the media and many that prop our head coach up for what I consider to be the wrong reasons.

Pat Dye was one hell of a football player for Georgia, said some pretty rough things about us over the years. Put Dye and Richt face to face in the "arena", game over for Richt immediately. Dye played, Richt sat.

Say again, our head coach does not allow folks like David Ching to sit in Butts-Mehre and ask or say anything that he and those that back him don't want to hear.

Thanks again for pulling the article up.

Occasionally Buc, I feel the need to remind everyone how long this BS has been going on.

I read an article yesterday that said Richt had earned the right to fix this.... as if what is going on this season is the first time anything like this has occurred.

Just to be clear, he's been failing at fixing this since 2008.

Reason for posting this video.

There are others outside of this board that are saying similar things. Again it goes back to the TOP. Same nice things being said, same failings when it comes to coaching the players up.

Wartdawg you have my attention . . . .

A little more on my thinking when it comes to what our head coach said . . . . “In The Arena”.

Those that were upset the most with the term I believe were “fans” and “supporters” that actually played the game in the arena. Different levels of both coaching and playing that were and are not happy with the reference.

I also believe that “some” if not “most” of those that are ok with Richt's statement(s) more than likely have not been in the arena.

Read many different sites. It is easy to pick out those that have been in the arena and those that have not, but they can live with comments like the one made by our head coach.

There are many that have not played football, do understand the game, normally they also understand that what was said is being less than honest. I would call it a “cover up”. Protecting ones self.

Bet this. If I am making the amount of money that our head coach is making, probably would be looking for scape goats like he was when making the statement.

Usually hear those that totally support our head coach say things like . . . . “Well, Richt tried to give up some of his salary to his assistants, the powers in Athens would not pay them”.

I say to that, anything coming from the powerful in Athens does not surprise me, they like to keep as much of the money in the vault as they can. Along with that, if I have made “millions” over 15 years, never had a salary under a million dollars in Athens, why wouldn't I make an offer like that. Not going to send me to the soup line.

Amazing how the Public Relations Group turned our head coach into a big time philanthropist overnight.

As long as the “Powerful” in Athens can keep Richt's head above water, nothing will change. Remember this, the “Powerful” in Athens now have ESPN joining forces with them.

There are some that have been around football for a while that not only see what is going on, understand what is going on. Has been that way forever, not likely to change as long as our head coach can bring in assistants that “have been in the arena”.

Could say a lot more, will see where this goes. Do know this, there are some on this board Dawg.com that have been in the “arena” not to watch, played there. Did not sit on the bench like our head coach and offensive coordinator. Fact.

Go Dawgs

I could care less whether I'm in the arena or not......just win ballgames!!!
