I think part of it is that UGA is living in the shadow of UF. The downside is that UGA is considered a great football program on the edge of elitism. MR will keep UGA at it's current status. I think keeping him around longer will at some point build a solid respectful following because of his youth. Building doubt from your fanbase will translate to recruits inwhich the state of GA seems to be getting picked off by several SEC schools. IMO, keep MR for a while longer and be patient for UF to be down and then ya'll will need to step up. Sooner or later an SECCG win will translate to a shot at the MNC title. Good luck unless you are facing us WG.

Rivals state of GA rankings, top 10 players:
2010: UGA got 4, other SEC schools got 3
2009: UGA 5, Other SEC got 2
2008: UGA 7, SEC 1
2007: UGA 3, SEC 2
2006: UGA 3, SEC 3
I just went back the last 5 seasons. Even with 2 crappy years in there, we still didn't get outpicked in our state by other SEC schools.

This is the kind of attitude we don't need to have, IMO. In all 3 years we went to the SECCG, we lost to Florida. In both years we beat UF, we didn't go. That's kind of crazy. But my point it we can't just sit around and wait for florida to be down. They're florida, they'll always be good. We have to up our game. From 2002-2005 we played at a VERY high level of football. I truly believe the changes in coaching and attitude we've just made will get us back there.

You're right, and that's what I've been saying. Keep putting yourself in good positions and it'll eventually happen. Florida and LSU got the outside help they needed, both years UGA had a chance they didn't. It happens. But it will eventually.
