BamaGrad03 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I thought it was cheesy to be honest. Taunting defined, basically. Lucky for Richt, nobody made a scuffle out of it and they just ran back to the sideline. I could see the Ole Miss coach coming up with something like that, but not Richt...I thought he was better than that. Holy CRAP! A numa sighting.

WarTim 3,456 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Man....I didn't expect this celebration to get this much press 1st and 10 on ESPN talked about it today and PTI is about to talk about it in a few minutes I think Coach Richt knew his team needed some emotions to kick in and he did this to get the juices flowin'. Good for him. He is a class act and a heck of a coach. Forgive me if I pull against him ONCE a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZ770 2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I kinda of wish CTT would have come up with that one. That was one of the most TEAM statements that you could make. And only in the face of Meyer and Tebow made it that much better. I wish they didn't have the excessive celebrations bring back the dances like the Sherman Shake. Football is supposed to be fun, rub it in the faces of the opponets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin149 391 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 UGA had better be ready to dance this weekend...Troy can be a giant killer!!! Watch out for the letdown Dawgs! Troy put a bigger beatdown on OKST than UGA. I'm just sayin'.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw 4 au 526 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 My opinion, it was Bush League. Kind of something like the Florida State Criminoles would do back in thier hey day, but then again, Richt did learn from the best! He may come off as a choir boy, but he is still a football coach. It is not that big of a deal though, just a simple mistake. Remember Auburn stomping on the Tiger Eyes logo in LSU, I did not like that either. By the way, was that Tubberville or Tater Tot? However, I would expect two things to come from this for UGA and Richt: 1) I am pretty sure they will NEVER do it again, like I said it was bush league (he is probably embarressed about it after the fact), but they got penalized 30 yards and it is over. Probably wouldn't work as well the second time around anyways. and 2) They will get thier asses handed to them next year by UF, no doubt about it. Tebow will be healthy and most likely with a tailback of some sort. AU and LSU are circled on thier calanders, but UGA is circled and asterixed with photos posted all over the weight room and stuff. They probably don't even remember who Wes Byrum is any more, much less that he is doing the gator chomp every time ESPN cues in college football weekends!

SouthLink02 8 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (he is probably embarressed about it after the fact) Not in the least. It won us the game. I know, I know...people will think I am crazy or wrong for saying that but I and many others feel it really set the tone for the rest of the game. They will get thier asses handed to them next year by UF, no doubt about it. Possibly but I am going to enjoy the next 363 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I didn't have any real big problem with it...something like that which runs completely counter to your coach's personality can sometimes be a good thing. He trusted his team to go out there and celebrate the TD, not to taunt the opposition directly. He was also OK with the flags it would draw. It's the chance you take. Georgia has been getting their assed kicked pretty regularly by Florida in the last 20 years, so Richt felt like he needed to do something way out of the ordinary.

JohnDeere 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Georgia has been getting their assed kicked pretty regularly by Florida in the last 20 years, so Richt felt like he needed to do something way out of the ordinary. He had to throw everything he had at the Gators, to pull out a win; his job was on the online. THUGA posts another loss this season (Auburn, Kentucky, GT, or possibly Troy) after ANOTHER Florida loss finishing the regular season 8-4 (when some predicted them to win the SEC East); the start of the 2008 season will be a 'hot seat' season for Marky for sure. He HAD to win the UF game, Georgia people were (still are) tired of getting their a***es handed to them year after year by Florida. I have heard more whinning and complaining about this year from the 'Dawg' fans I know about 'how tired they are to lossing to Florida), especially after Auburn laid it on Florida. To think THUGA is #10 is in the BCS is a complete joke. I hope they stay in the Top 10 come the week of November 10. Auburn has a habit of thumping teams ranked in the Top 10. The entire team running on the field after a touchdown.......that is pretty much junior varsity/middle school football, kinda of like stomping on the 'V' at Vanderbilt after winning by a last second field goal. It appears Mark is too busy planning the next mission trip to Peru to worry about keeping his 'boys' in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR EAGLE!!! 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I think it was one of the single best strategic moves that I have seen in college football. We will have to see how the rest of the season goes, but it looks like it could be a turning point to the season. Apparently Richt thought his players were not playing with anny passion and wanted to change it. Like my dad always says, if you are not in a good mood, fake it, your attitude will eventually change in a positive way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him on the sideline in that game, he probably had more fun coaching that game than any game he has coached in his life. He has always been such a gentleman and he's had a lot of success doing it his way. It was certainly out of character for him but that is what made it such a great move." http://www.ajc.com/uga/content/sports/uga/...treax_1031.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really expected them to compete for the East. Ugly games against USC, Vandy, UAT, and UT. They still have a chance at Atlanta, but they sure don't look like the dominant teams of the past from UGA that won the SEC Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mind still isn't made up on this UGA team. My mind was made up after UT. This is a streaky, average team. We won't win out. UT will win out. UT wins the East and loses to whoever they play in Atlanta. I think Bama beats LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
