In 1980 Herschel gave Georgia fans a reason to think the team was great. Through 1982 it was. Then the team went back to being very good, but not great. In 2000 Richt started building expectations among fans that the team could be great again. It has almost reached those expectations several times but fell short.
As a fan of Georgia since 1964 I will say that exept for the three Herschel years, this is the best the progam has ever been. Richt will likely never win a national championship, but the team will never have the stink of FSU or UF or Auburn or ND or USCw or Oregon as far as slimy players and a coach that looks the other way when players lie, cheat, or steal.
Would any of you really be willing to accept the reputation those teams and players have just for a trophy? Not me.

I get what you are saying and find myself often conflicted on the subject. Would we want the stink and reputation? Obvious answer is of course not. Then I look around this modern society based on narcissism with an overwhelming demand of instant gratification and realize that few people even care about morality anymore. Aside from a small minority of people, society has a short memory about how "success" was attained. The only folks who care about how FSU, Auburn or even UF under Meyer won titles are those who are disgusted by morality issues in all walks of life whether it be politics, business.....or sports. Or those directly impacted and frustrated by the immorality of the "bad" guys. People are to busy posting selfies, chronicling every detail of their lives on social media or searching for instant gratification to pay much attention to the immoral acts of others. Reputations for being shady are short lived in this day and age and the majority of people only recall the championships 3-5 years later.
