How does running onto the field convey that message? To show a team you won't roll over, you run it down their throats, like UGA did, and would have done anyways.

it's setting the tone for the game. if georgia had done that and played with that attitude against tennessee, we wouldn't have won that game. instead tennessee played with that attitude and emotion and won the game handily.

football is as much about attitude, confidence, and swagger as it is x's and o's. nothing classless about richt's call. florida's the better team of the two, georgia's mindset won that game.

you're exactly right. richt is classy, i know that he didnt mean any disrespect or to "start a brawl". i personally think it was genius.

I remember when our defense had attitude. Al Wilson used to smack guys down and stand over them DARING them to get up for more. Now, our guys act pleasantly surprised, even thrilled, when they make a good tackle or get a good stop. It's all in the attitude. The celebration penalty just added to the attitude IMO.

I must strongly disagree with that. UT dominated them, and a celebration wouldn't have changed it.

Alabama's onside kick so flustered our team we never recovered. I think the mass celebration flustered the Gators and that is always a good thing.

We took the lead after that in the Alabama game... I have a hard time saying we never recovered from that. Bama won because they were more prepared.

Well, we'll never know. BUT...I LOVED the emotion and passion that the celebration sparked in the whole UGA bunch and would love to see the same spark in OUR team.

LIO in my short 14 months here, I've never seen you so fired up about talking football. Nothing like a football intelligent woman:drool:

It fired up Florida more--at least temporarily. UGA was already fired up--didn't need the artificial show.

temporarily is key. georgia carried it for the entire game. firing the oppisition temporarily is no problem if you have fired you're team up for the entire contest. thanks for proving my point. by the way, i'm a coach and i've seen all this first hand.

I didn't mind seeing the emotion. I just think Georgia would have won anyways, and the flags were unnecessary to Georgia winning.

IMO, the outcome had nothing to do with the unsportsmanlike penalty. Any false emotion that it caused was deflated by the interception return for TD.

UGA was pumped from the beginning, no need for orchestrated emotion.

Theatrical -- Not game changing.

I'm not trying to argue just for the sake of arguing. Georgia was already pumped up when they were all running in. You can tell by the fact that they planned that they were getting ready for the game in a big way. The actual celebration was just extra yards for Florida. You can tell by Richt's comments that they had a good couple weeks of practice. I'm pretty confident in saying the players were all ready pumped up for this one.
