Florida game

  • In your opinion does this game make or break CMR?

    Another loss to Florida would be tough to swallow especially when they are banged up and not as good as in the past

  • I think this is the 2nd critical game left. We won the 1st in Knoxville and UF the next. We beat UF and no matter how we do against AU and GT this will be a good season.

  • IMO I don't think the UF game is a make-or-break game for Richt at all. Rather, I think it's more important (from McGarity's perspective) that CMR and the team take care of the teams that we are supposed to take care of for the remainder of the season. In other words, CMR needs to win at (1) Vandy, (2) New Mexico St, (3) Kentucky and (4) GA Tech. And, CMR needs to split (1) UF and (2) Auburn. Assuming CMR can do this, we finish:

    9 and 3 and set ourselves up for a nice bowl game with the potential of a 10 win season.

  • good points Boston. I don't think it is a make or break game, but i do think it is a critical game just for the image of the program. We NEED to beat UF and there is really no better time than this year and the next.

  • Think about the benefit of our winning out on recruiting. I know we are thin at some positions and need to haul in a great class this off-season. It would be much easier to say look at what we are doing now. Especially with bama coming back into the rotation next year.

    Life's tough, but it is tougher if you're stupid.

    Tx iaddison. Although I don't see this is a critical game in terms of CMR's job security, I do agree with you that it's a critical game image-wise, recruiting-wise and confidence-wise. Hope we can get Mitchell, Crowell, Burnette, M Brown and Ogletree back healthy for this game. If we can get all our players back healthy over the bye week, I think we have a legit shot in this game!

  • I disagree with y'all. I've been a big Richt backer this year, but if he loses to UF this year his seat will be scorching hot. It's a game he simply has to win for 3 reasons:

    1) The eastern division implications
    2) UF is not good this year - if not now, when? will be the rallying cry
    3) You can't go 2-9 vs your top rival. 2-8 was bad enough.....He doesn't have the capital or air support to lose another one to UF. Not yet at least....

  • I'm pretty sure this group of kids doesn't give a rat's a$$ about any Florida streak.

    They believe they should win every time they step on the field. They played their hearts out last year. This year we have some very positive additions that lead by example. I don't know how many people pay attention to the intangibles that players like Jarvis Jones and CRob have brought to the defense. They are natural born leaders that give it all from snap to whistle. It's infectious and every great defense has a few. They got Branden Smith laying the wood like he is Greg Blue. They are gang tackling. They are trying to strip the ball on every play.

    I like these kids, a lot. There's a new breed of Dawg in town.

    F, Florida and their jort wearing, natural light drinking, mullet sportin moronic fans.

  • It's one he needs to win for perceptions sake. Can't let a first year coach with a banged up lineup come in and beat you...... It's already happened twice with Zook and Meyer. A third time would not be good from the outside looking in.

    Agreed, people get too caught up in "must win"games due to the media. Listen to interviews with Greg M. he always talks about improvement week to week and the process of making progress on the season as a whole...Yes, Florida is banged up. Don't think fit a minute that Demps and Brantley won't be healthy by the time we play them. They have a bye as well... Also, what if we lose to UF and still win the east finishing 9-3?

  • Huge game for us! Just like all the rest on the schedule. We need to be focused for every team we play against. Our demeanor and play on the field is what makes theese kids and fans attract to us. If we dominate UF and GT and AU and make it an 11 win season!!! Go dawgs!!!

  • Touche to you and WinnDawg

    And 6-2 will not win the East this year for you guys. I think we go 6-2 at worse and that means that we would hold the tiebreaker over you.

    I think the UF game is a must win due to East implication. When was the last time UGA competed in the SECCG? I believe it is 2005. And are you okay with this? That would be 6 years without going to the game. I believe UGA fans and alumni want more than 1 SECCG experience every 6 years. You can correct me if I am wrong. And I am not trying to be negative but growing up in East Cobb, I knew a lot of UGA fans so I know that they want success and I think that is measured by wins and SECCG appearance.

    An SEC championship game appearance don't mean crap. Every year we want to be SEC Champion. I believe South Carolina fans are alone in that regard. I do agree that we need to beat UF to go to the Championship since Bray is out. Before that I figured that yall would probably drop two of the three to tenn, ark, uf. I am as concerned with Auburn as I am Uf though for us. Not that their good, though. We learned in week 2 that we can loose to a bad team if we allow it.

    Well, we are right now since we have never won it. Until last year, we had never made it to the SECCG so it is called baby steps. I think this year, we will be disappointed in not going back since we have most of our stars returning.

    I think we go 2-1 in the next 3 so you have to win out in order to win the East.

    And yes we got lucky against you guys, but that is football for you. We lost to UK last year and we were much better than them and we also beat Bama at home(were Garcia played the game of his life). We made plays when they mattered the most. But, that was week 2.

  • I don't think the UF or even GT game are "make or break" in to themselves. MG would be crazy to fire Richt now with the way the team has responded, and the way it sets up for next year. We are going in the right direction

    The team is very young. The D is getting stronger every game, and will be much better next year. The O isn't blowing us away, but most everything is back next year - except OL. Fix the OL, and it could be a big year.

    Fire Richt, and you lose CTG, and his staff. -- There goes the D. Lose key recruits like Theus(there goes the OL), Marshall, etc. and it will take time to rebuild.

    Only a total collapse will cost Richt his job.

    I agree with all you said, and to be honest I wouldn't be pissed with just a SECCG apppearance this year either. headslap I can't believe I just said that.
