re: Video of Grantham and Franklin Confrontation

With all due respect SoGa, I'm well aware of where Richt has brought us from. I'm in my twenties, yes, and I grew up sleeping under the bleachers of a half-empty Sanford Stadium during the 90's. I was at the game as a kid when Spurrier hung 50 on us in Athens. The 90's sucked and the only reason I really enjoyed going to the games was because it was the one time a week that i got to actually see and spend any time with my dad. He had undying love for them and so do I.
So when Richt came aboard and did what he did int he early 2000's, I recognized it was a step up from where we were, btu I also relaized that a sudden shift in culture and attitude can be just that: sudden. It doesn't ahve to be an arduous 5 year process, it can happen in one year, it can happen in one off-season. It did between 2001-2002. it just clicked.
Don't mistake me for one of the usual anti-Richt, change is good people. To this point I still don' want Richt gone, I'd still like for him to be the guy. I want him to succeed, every single time i sit in Sanford, in jacksonville, or on my couch at home.
But we don't have to settle for what we're seeing on the field. Talent, money, fanbase, facilities, it's all on par with bama, LSU, Texas, USC, wherever. And Athens is the pinnacle of College Towns. If Richt can't take the next step, then we find someone who can. I know we've never been the very elite of CFB, but we can be.

Meh.

UGA played the worst special teams game in the whole history of ever. Blocked punt, kickoff return for a TD, gave up the fake punt for the long first down. Crowell sat most of the game, Mitchell was out. And Vandy and their troublemaker still lost in a dirty dirty game by them. Particularly their center.

Not particularly fond of Grantham's actions, but Franklin is bush league and a cry baby.

I hope he loses all the rest of his games this season in the same excruciating manner he lost last night.

So, how does that difference in devotion weigh into the pro-Richt/anti-Richt debate?

I agree, we're not as single-minded, but we are still a very devoted fanbase.

Regardless it's the complacent arse bull shite that's handicapped the program.

Complacency and indifference: I think this is what our fanbase and program has that the other three mentioned seem to lack? When Bama loses, the next week is one of mourning. When UGA loses, we just go back to our jobs, studying, relationships, Braves, whatever else and get by until the next week. Our emotions don't hinge on a single game. Is this what we're concluding?

And, if so, does that mean we're somehow less deserving of what those three teams have accomplished in recent seasons? I don't think so. Florida is almost on the exact same level as us as a fanbase, I think. And they more than deserved what they won. We travel well, we invest generously with our time and money. What? Because we have a lot of people unwilling to get loud on third down we just don't want it enough or don't deserve it as much? I call bullshite, and I hope that's not what we're talking about here, that I'm just reading into this all wrong

And then you go and kill it. It's ok I'll help ya and post in here so everyone can see you misspelled confrontation

Another example, I rarely see (if ever) Auburn, LSU or Bama fans agree with the opponents who are skull dragging their program on this message board.

Yet UGA fans do that here all the time.

This is what is different.

I see this too, and it pisses me off.

I know we are not where we need to be, but we are getting better.

die in a fire you ignorant POS.

Which UGA players are punks? Give us names or STHU.

We watch every play of every Georgia game and don't see any "thugness" outside of the norm, excluding THE Celebration of course.
