Number of BCS/NY6 Bowls under Richt (15 years) :: 3
Number of BCS/NY6 Bowls under Johnson (8 years) :: 2

You realize that doesn't help your argument, right?

It does if you understand that previous to both coaches, the respective teams hadn't really done shite to speak of for 20 years or so.

So despite UGA having an advantage in just about every area, those results support Richt?
I don't judge Richt because he hasn't won an NC. I judge Richt because we lose multiple games every year we shouldn't and often in ugly fashion. One or two blowouts guaranteed for a decade and counting now. It's not like we are only losing to dominant or even pretty good teams.
If you can't see why that's what frustrates people, then I really don't know what else to tell you.

We don't care what our record is. We just want a tee shirt, too.

Then make a miracle play to defeat a top ten team. That's all is takes.

I get why it frustrates people because it frustrates practically every college football fan every season. It's what drove me crazy last year about Duke and UNC ... don't even get me started on this season :puke:
It's college football. Think Bama fans didn't go through this against Ole Piss? And with the exception of the Tenn loss, losing to Bama and UF this year isn't too surprising considering the shitty hand y'all got on the QB situation this year and the fact you had to replace a pretty outstanding OC.
As our coach likes to say, it is what it is. And it's that way for every team in college football. Hell, even tOSU lost to VT last year. Again, it's just a craps game.

When it happens occasionally, I understand it. You're dealing with 18-22 year old kids.
But when it happens multiple times every single season for a decade, it's a pattern that's indicative of a flaw in the system.
Doesn't help when a big contributor is multiple years of essentially self imposed scholarship reductions due to recruiting mismanagement/negligence and a ton of other ways of shooting ourselves in the foot.

Why the frick do we let you post here?
Just my worthless opinion, but some of yall need to toughen the frick up a little (alot). yall already barely let any outsiders on here, which fricking sucks if you ask me, but then you act like the non uga guys that ARE here have to justify their existence with every post. which is why the board becomes a cesspool of "who do we hire" threads sometimes. Its a shame we dont hold our own people that kinda post quality scrutiny
Outside posters already know if they come here and legit flame that some of you will lose your god damn minds and theyll get perma banned from here. Some of my fav posters on the old site were non uga guys. They brought different shite to the table than the same tired arse angst we got from our regulars day in day out
But hey, majority rules. carry on..

I agree completely about luck being a huge factor in winning national championships as so many things have to go your way in order for you to win it all unless you have a head-and-shoulders better team that dominates from start to finish. Even the best teams need the ball to bounce their way a few times.
With that said, I think something else needs to change at UGA. We have had turnover in every area except for the head coach position in the past 15 years and we can't seem to break the same habits of coming out completely unprepared in several games each season. I'll echo the sentiments of others here: it's not that we lose games, it's how we lose. You can't help bad calls or outstanding plays by players on the other team, but getting blown out by good teams and struggling against terrible teams (talent-wise) should not happen at Georgia. At least not with the frequency that it does.
Penalties at so many critical points; questionable play calling that leads to big plays for our opponents; inability to get players to give 100% for all four quarters of every game; and the biggest factor in my sudden change of heart towards the head coach: the inability to game plan around the talent we have on the field and the inability to adjust during the game. These have been common for years on one side of the ball or the other.
Take the decision to start Bauta against Florida. I actually didn't think it was a bad decision even though you can make a case that it was. I thought it was a positive thing that after several games where we couldn't get the job done with Lambert, they decided to go to a QB with a different set of skills. What ticked me off is that I expected us to play to Bauta's strengths and include several different looks in the running game that we haven't been able to do with Lambert under center. I was hoping for more option runs, QB keepers, and bootlegs. Instead, they essentially told Bauta to run the same plays that Lambert was running throughout the season. We didn't change our offense to match our QB and that is what bothered me the most as it is a prime example of what we are lacking as a team.

Don't misunderstand me, Chef. I'm not saying he is a meanie so we shouldn't let him in. I'm saying, if you're going to be an antagonist/board villain type, you need to do it well.
JacketFan can't decide if he wants to be liked, or be a worthy adversary. It comes across as the most pathetic of message board creatures.
He keeps twisting this as "we're too sensitive" but it's quite the opposite. I expect more than the stale, played out, sterile, bullshite he peddles.

We all remember how they responded to that. They were angry, embarrassed, and motivated to not let that happen again. I've never seen a Richt team bring that same mindset after a loss. If they were angry and embarrassed after the pathetic performance against Alabama this year, they would have beaten Tennessee by 20.
It seems like recently that when adversity hits this team, they don't overcome it. They fold like a cheap tent. That's on Richt, whether you like to admit it or not.

I'm here everyday. I'm all for opening it up a little. Bitches get out hand, bitches get banned.

This is totally spot on....on Friday we were all laughing jovially (posting funny memes/gifs etc) about Bautasaurus Rex RUNNING all over the field against UF. It wasn't a far fetched idea to assume that he was going to be turned loose as an athlete at QB to make some plays with his wheels. Instead we get pocket passer Bauta who throws four picks.
Somebody said that this was either going to be an epic success or an epic failure. It was an epic failure but not Bauta's fault. The fault lies with Schitty and Richt for failing to produce a game plan with TWO WEEKS prep time to utilize Bauta's strengths.

And not tell the kid he is starting until they arrive in Florida. I mean, this is supposed to be our biggest rivalry game and we throw Bauta to the wolves.

What is your basis for saying this? Everything I have heard and read has pointed to the fact that the entire team knew Bauta was going to start well before the game, they just wanted to keep it quiet. I highly doubt they surprised him on Friday morning before the game by giving him the news.
