Despite our murder to UGA, and his strange comparison to Helen Hunt, I love this guy. What a ballsy call when the whole team came out after their 1st TD.

Some people didn't like it at all, but it could have very well been the reason they won. It fired everybody up.

The young blood that we need in Knox. I like the dude.

I have all the respect in the world for Mark Richt, way to go beating UF :thumbsup:

I thought he had lost 3 of the last 4 against Phil. I don't think I want a coach with that recent record against Donut Boy.

I loved that Richt chewed his team out for celebrating a win against Vanderbilt, but encouraged them to celebrate a TD in virtually the same manner against Florida. I'm sure someone posted it, but I had wondered if Richt would have had the same reaction he had in Nashville if his team was doing the same thing in Knoxville, Auburn, or even Jacksonville.

I like Richt. But encouraging your players to be unsportsmanlike...don't like it.

I think they were emotional enough without artificially pumping themselves up more, at the risk of motivating Florida.

I think it did motivate Florida..but they still lost. Tebow's shoulder or whatever was only part of the story; the gators just didn't have it today.

It was a freakin BRILLIANT move by Richt. UF was forced to FAKE being fired up and looked ridiculous doing it. UF came back and scored the next drive but you know what? UF didnt keep that momentum while UGA had it throughout the entire game.

IT WORKED

I thought it a bit hypocritical as well. "Don't be classless unless I give the ok, ok?"

That's exactly what it was. I give credit to Richt for getting his team fired up, but this is the guy who said on the field after the Vandy game "We don't do that stuff here."

Honestly, I don't think he ever intended for the entire team to run onto the field.

The team was directed to run out onto the field and get an usportsmanlike conduct penalty.

If it had turned into a bench-clearing brawl, would Richt be a genius? Would he be suspended? Possibly even fired?

He's lucky it didn't get ugly.

I think he was partly acknowledging he made a mistake chewing his team for celebrating a win against Vandy. He was trying to get the enthusiasm back for his team. I think it worked.

Mark Richt made an apology Monday to SEC commissioner Mike Slive for the celebration.Richt said he only expected the 11 guys on the field to do the celebrating and not for the bench to clear out."Yeah right".If this was so why didn't Richt get pissed off at the team(like he did in the Vandy game).It clearly showed him on the sidelines clapping and smiling after the celebration.I think he planned for the whole team to come out but he's just trying to cover his butt by saying he only expected the offense to do the celebrating.

Neither happened nor ever came close to happening so....who cares?

If UGA's players had brought guns with them there may have been a shooting...if UGA had sent someone to tackle Meyer during it all...Meyer may have ignited a riot

We could what-if a LOT

sometimes doing the "wrong thing" is the right thing to do. Given the time, the moment, the situation and the environment, as a coach myself, sometimes its ok, even needed. Its a different view from the coaching point.

I don't normally defend Mark Richt and at first I was pretty hard on him, but that's not really what happened. He did tell his team that he wanted to see energy and that he was going to run everybody if they didn't get a celebration penalty after the first TD. But I think he was as surprised as anyone when the entire team took him up on it. I think the reason he was smiling is because he knew there was nothing he could say to the team.

I agree.

I can almost see the win any way possible or win at all cost mentality, but with some of today's thug athletes do we really want head coaches teaching poor sportsmanship?

I thought this was a pretty funny reaction to Richt's stunt by Steve Spurrier . . . and it makes a whole lot of sense.

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier knows what he would've done if he had been coaching Florida and Georgia's players got the mass celebration penalty - start a fight.
Spurrier says if Gators head coach Urban Meyer had known what was going to happen after the Bulldogs' initial touchdown last week, he should have sent "out one of his third-team guys and get in a wrestling match with the guys, get a fight started."
Spurrier's reasoning? With all of Georgia's players off the bench already, it could mean that they would all get suspended as part of the SEC's penalties for fighting.
Six South Carolina players missed a game in 2005 for their roles in a season-ended brawl at Clemson in November 2004.
"Leave the bench in a fight and you're out the next game," Spurrier said. "I think that's what we'd do if the other team ever does that."
Georgia head coach Mark Richt urged his players to celebrate excessively after their first touchdown in a 42-30 victory over Florida.
If Meyer had followed Spurrier's tactic, the Bulldogs "would've been in trouble for fighting. They would have been in deep trouble for the game next week," Spurrier said.

they read that on the radio here yesterday.......good stuff. obviously he gave it some thought, and technically, that would be the case.

now the other part of this story that i thought was even funnier was when he was asked if he'd send his son out on the feild to start said fight, apparently he's bench rider on the team, and he said "well, we have a lot of guys that could do it".:eek:lol:

That is funny as hell. The man's got a point.

What NFL game was it, the Falcons were playing in the game if memory serves correctly, that a 3rd stringer got in a fight with the opposing team's starter during pregame warmups.
