UGA school paper takes shot at Fulmer.....

I would love to say that Tennessee will walk all over Georgia, But it seems the more trash I talk the more I have to eat at the end of the night. So, I believe that Tennessee has the better talent and could if they play to there talent walk out with a huge lopsided win. As it has been said over and over Orange seems to bring out the best in UGA, FLA, AUburn, LSU, you get my point. In my 32 years if theirs one thing Ive learned its you never say someone doesn't have a chance, cause they WILL prove you wrong.

I sure hope that we learned from the FL game that when your on top to keep going with whats working. I know I will get flamed for this , but I think thats the reason we havent seen more championships under Fulmer. We take the lead and then quit. We go into run,run, pass , punt mode. Leaving our defense on the field too much late in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

That's different. We were lucky to have our 10 point lead in the Florida game. Ainge was getting pressured on every single play, and he got fortunate to make some pretty amazing/partially lucky throws. The way Florida's D-line was harassing him, he was bound to throw an INT at some point if we just kept slinging the ball around. I don't see too much wrong with trying to kill a little clock when you are facing a dominating defense and you have 10 point lead.

Are we really mad about the last two paragraphs?

Seriously?

I am more mad they have beaten us the last 4 of 5 years.

That was nothing other then some school paper smack.

I hope our paper does the same thing. F Georgia. F their Fans. Let's send them home crying like girls

Actually I think potentially the most worrisome thing (for Vol fans) this article suggests is this being a UGA team that perhaps plays to the level of the given opponent. In most cases teams can't consistently turn it on and off like that, but traditional SEC rivalries (& there's none bigger than this) are an entity all their own. How many of us thought Bama was a small bug to be squashed as an afterthought before last weekend?...they rose to the occasion and looked very good for the most part against UF. We see this all the time, SEC teams playing over their heads thanks to the passion of rivalry.
I think it's way too naive for any of us to think that, because of our performances against Marshall and Memphis, that we're all but a shoe-in against the dawgs. Like the rest of you, I hope those games were a sign of things to come. I did notice a few things that I feel were very refreshing and different, particularly from the offense, such as continuing to hurl downfield with a 27-7 lead. Not that I'm a proponent of running it up, but when can you really be sure a game is out of reach? This is one more thing I love about Cut...he learns from his mistakes (a la Florida). He recognized it, fixed it. Randy Sanders never learned from his mistakes!
Anyway, point being, I feel like there's such a desparate collective desire for us to redeem ourselves after last year and be among the upper eschelon in the SEC again, that we may be putting our team on too high a pedastel after these last 2 wins.
There are few that love Big Orange Football more than me - I have followed them wholeheartedly since I was 6 years old (that's 31 years!); I have laughed and, yes, cried with them on a number of occasions; I LOVE UT Football, but my faith is not blind; I think it is likely UGA will look better against us than they have all year. That said, I feel very strongly we are capable of beating them and possibly handily if we get rolling, but until the scoreboard says we won the game, I am cautiously optimistic.
GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't believe that some of us are still crying about getting caught breaking the rules in G-10.

Almost as hard to believe that some are still taking backhanded shots at those commenting about the G-10 issue.

I don't think Mark Richt would buy into that argument. UGA is a work in progress due to their QB situation. Their level of play is tied to how much progress those QBs make.

I hope it's a blowout...I don't wanna win close, and I definitely don't want to lose and have to hear those stupid victory bells.

Remember two years ago when UGA was going to beat us????We had just got blown out by Auburn and UGA had just creamed LSU...

We better be ready for a good game because as soon UGA starts hanging onto passes they will be a different team.

I'm just surprised that anyone at that liberal dish rag of a paper even knows what football is. It would be like Gloria Steinem doing sideline coverage for Monday Night Football.

That said, it will be all about field position and special teams. Both teams will slug it out and defenses will win the day. We have the advantage at receivers, RBs (not by much but we do), and QB. UGA kickers have a nasty habit of placing us inside the 10 to start and they have much better punt returners.

Those lucky plays put points on the board and kept our defense off the field. If we had got lucky on a couple of our conservative possesions I think we might have just won that game. I would much rather see us lose a game by trying to win it than trying not to lose it. You can't leave your defense on the field in the 3rd and 4th quarter as long as we did against FL and expect to beat major players in the SEC.

I for one will never take Georgia lightly ever again. I rememeber when it wasn't much of a thought, we just put a W next to the game even before it was played but now those days are over. I look at this game and you can't really pick a clear cut favorite. UGA looks a little better on D....maybe, we look better on O but the only truly good team we've played made our running game (the general key to this game year in and year out) look silly, UGA's special teams are leaps and bounds above ours and they have a way of making us pay with them..does anyone remember 2001 when we were in control then Gibson runs back a punt and the game completely changes at that point.
All together I think its foolish to chalk this one up as a W. I am fully confident that we should win, but the days where UGA is an afterthought are long gone no matter what it looks like on paper.

We had 216 yds. on 41 attempts for an average of 5.3 yds. against Cal. I don't know how that would be considered silly. I know we had a horrible rushing game against UF, but we could just as easily do what we did to Cal to UGA.

I agree utvol we could easily do that to UGA but we could also not.....I really hope we do though because I'd like to see us beat the crap outta UGA......but I don't know that I see us beating them that bad, I see us beating them soundly though....they can take all the shots at Fulmer they want to, I'll say it, he's fat, I wouldn't doubt it if we don't see him soon with a clipboard in one hand and a ham sandwich in the other(I'm kidding, but we hear that alot)...But the "fat man" as many on here and around the country will come out on top this weekend

Your right, we ran all over Cal but its pretty obvious their D was overrated. Hence, the only really good team we've played, UF, made our running game look ridiculous (-11 yds I think). And their D is ranked 13th nationally, UGA's is 6th (I know, I know they haven't played anyone yet). We'll see, I'm not saying we can't run on them, I think we will effectively. My point was that I've read some comments in this thread that make it seem like this game is a gimme when I just don't see that at all. Especially considering how Richt has owned Fulmer. By the way, it looks like to me that Fulmer hsa lost a little weight this year :)
