including one in atlanta, which really annoys the leg humpers when we remind them of that.

Taking off my old gold and white glasses for a moment, I'd say the mutt's failure to win an nc under richt is mostly bad timing/luck. Certainly OSU fans know how hard it can be for everything to come together even with all the talent in the world (1996/1998/2006). Their best teams under Richt have been years like 2002 where they'd have made a 4 team playoff and had their chance on the field, but in the 2 team bcs system there were always 2 teams with a better claim on those spots. The refusal to keep the bad apples or pick up other team's certainly hurts, especially when those bad apples end up at auburn. But it's not like there's been a lack of talent. Richt does have a rep for dropping games he shouldn't, but I don't know how much that's true relative to other coaches, and how much it is just a lack of that once signature season. Big game bob still gets considered a big game winner despite plenty of evidence he's much like richt simply cause he and okie won it all in 2000 in his second year establishing the narrative. If richt ever gets over and wins (let me pause to go puke), I think the way he's viewed nationally will change quite a bit.

ok glasses back on, ahahahahahahahahahahhahah, uga ain't winning shit. It's a historically second tier school with high school academics and inbred mouth breathers that like to bark like dogs for fans. It took hershal fucking walker for them to eke out one title in 81, and they barely survived that year. Fuck them all.

Tough for me to asses this piece without wearing Red and Black glasses so I'd love some BP take. Sounds like they're already making excuses for us if we lose to Alabama. :(

It starts out with this suicide inducing opening:
Draw a 350-mile circle around this idyllic college town, and within it you’ll find seven college football programs that have won a combined 14 national titles since the last time the Georgia Bulldogs reached the pinnacle in 1980.

Obligatory "We try to do things the right way" fragment:

And though the drought may be mostly a product of happenstance, it is also true that Georgia’s nearly endless supply of natural resources has been counterbalanced by an institutional ethos that makes it more difficult for the school to be a year-in, year-out superpower in the hyper-competitive SEC.
“Georgia football has tried to do things the right way,” said Richard Tucker, a member of the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents and a prominent supporter of the school’s athletic program. “UGA is more to me than just football.”

Whether it’s academics, commitment to building high-end athletic facilities, marijuana testing policies or intolerance for off-field behavioral issues, the perception — and in many cases the reality — is that Georgia holds itself to a slightly higher standard than the programs it is compared with annually on the field.


FAX AND EVIDENTS:

Three recent high-profile examples speak to the differences between Georgia and its Southeastern Conference counterparts. In 2013, Auburn came within one play of the national title led by a quarterback, Nick Marshall, who was dismissed from Georgia along with two other players over an on-campus theft. That same year LSU started quarterback Zach Mettenberger, a former Georgia player who was kicked out after groping a woman and pleading guilty to sexual battery. Earlier this summer, Alabama was willing to take on another dismissed Georgia player in defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor, whose offenses included a pending domestic violence charge. He was accused of another domestic incident at Alabama and dismissed shortly thereafter.

Not to go all JoePa ... but Georgia really is the 1 school I respect in the SEC for doing things right. It's not a coincidence that Georgia is also one of the few really good schools academically.
You can count on Georgia kicking a player off the team after domestic violence. And you can count on Bama or Auburn trying to get the transfer.

@BigWoof31 is your Qb play really good enough to beat Bama, let alone make a Natty run? Maybe I am mistaken but Lambert doesn't seem like the guy to lead a team to the big game.

We won't know until he does it. I'll give the kid credit, he's really blossoming under the superior coaching he's received. Kid plays well at home too, but he's never really taken down a giant like Bama before...

All things aside, it might not matter. Hurricane Joaquin is heading north and the south east is getting a lot of the residual rain.
This is gonna be a good old fashioned slop fest. Woody and Bo would be in 7th Heaven.

My theory this whole week was the only way Georgia could beat Bama is if they get great QB play. The teams to beat them the last few years have come from great/good QB play. Lambert wasn't where he needed to be for the dogs to win. And I wish they had because I actually respect UGA a hell of a lot more than the rest of the SEC.

As predictable as the changing of the seasons. Georgia will be highly ranked at the beginning of the year only to fall down to the ranks of the also rans. How does this guy keep his job in the SEC?

The fan base is used to the cycle. UGA ceiling is usually 10 wins, bowl game, recruit good-great players, rinse and repeat
