My thoughts...

[southerngentleman64]

I'd be happy to. Because all you said is bullshit and I would be more than pleased to tell you exactly how full of shit you actually are.

Shall we start with Hershel Walker's Trans Am?

Or, I don't know, how UGa was all but traitorous to this country when they enrolled the entire football team in ROTC while the rest of the country's teams had massive defections of kids enlisting to go fight the Germans and Japanese? And even then, you STILL weren't good enough to win a title. Ohio State won the AP title in 1942, yet Georgia wants to claim the title based on the Likenhous poll.

It really is too funny. Traitors to our country in the effort to win a natty, and STILL FAIL. Worse, to try to claim a false title for the year of infamy. Dawgs, you truly have no shame.

Pal, you're so full of shit, it's oozing out of your ears and eyes, and I'm sure no one wants to be around you because your breath smells like shit.

You're pulling lumps of coal out of your ass, and trying to polish them into diamonds. Several of those Georgia Bulldogs from the 1942 season served in the military , notably Frank Sinkwich who was actually given a medical discharge. The fact that you would label these young men, college educated, athletically and academically inclined, as traitorous to their own country, is asinine. You're pitiful, shameful, piece of shit, and I challenge you to seek out any and all relatives of Frank Sinkwich or any other member of that Georgia football program via social media, and repeat what you just said. You report back to this thread, copying and pasting their replies, and at that point you can offer your apologies for making such preposterous claims.

As for overzealous boosters or alumni giving expensive gifts to recruits, that has nothing to do with University of Georgia or any University. Those matters cannot be policed 100% by any University , and the fact that you would utilize this as a bullet point in your discussion, further proves that you are a red-assed Florida burnout, or alcoholic, or wife beater, or most probably a combination of all three.

Face the facts. The chickens have come home to roost for the University of Florida. There's not a dirtier or more shameful program in the conference. Case after case of domestic violence, theft, rape, capital murder have permeated your program.

POS state, POS University, POS football program, and a POS fans base. Shut it down, shut the whole thing down..

Wow, 40 years of no title has left you bitter...can't say I blame you, it must be awful. Well, at least you can fall back on your hoops program...oh, wait..

 

[VZDawg]

Sorry, dumb take. You want those things to be true more than the evidence supports it being true.

This season we have missed 4 games from who was considered our most important defender entering the season (Zuniga), another 3 games from our preseason All-American corner (Henderson) 6 games from our most dynamic weapon (Toney), our starting QB was injured in game 3 and his replacement is a kid who couldn’t even start in high school, and we have had multiple other games missed by key personnel and we are on pace for 10-2 in a year where we also had to replace 4 offensive lineman. Nothing but good coaching could have overcome all of that. And Mullen tied both Urban and Spurrier for the best start in UF history through 20 games and it certainly wasn’t because he had the more talented teams.

The only thing you are right on is Grantham. Is and always has been overrated. It didn’t take this game for me or anyone with a clue to see that either. I’ve been saying it since he was hired and got and keep getting push back on this board about it. Now more are seeing the truth with him.

Well you are doing exactly what we did Richt's last 10 years...point to our 10-2 record and say we lost to Top 10 teams. When that happens that means you are not a Top 10 team and won't ever compete for a championship. Trust us Georgia fans when we say we torally understand not competing for championships...1980 yada yada yada

 

[VZDawg]

I think with Smart recruiting at the level he does he will need the Championship to be considered a really good coach. Richt didn't recruit at that level.

Agree. Kirby will have tonwin a natty to satisfy us Georgia fans and he wouldn't want it any other way.

 

[VZDawg]

A national title? But see this is why your school will never reach it. Your only sense of accomplishment is based on how good UF is and just beating them.

You obviously just woke up. The only thing we are talking about right now is us vs Florida. Stick to ACC basketball...

 

[VZDawg]

Im so happy right now. Absolute zero shame. You on the other hand....cheering for that racist coach...

You have about 20 posts in this thread and haven't contributed one coherent point. Good job!

 

[VZDawg]

0-2 at UF

Ha ha. You got me there. Feel better?

 

[oozie7]

We’re two years removed from 4-7 and the worst three year stretch of recruiting in UF’s modern history. There is nothing analogous to Richt’s tenure. Richt had 15 years, Mullen is in year 2. Again, just because you so desperately want it to be true doesn’t mean it is.

What would UGA’s record be right now had you had to replace 4 offensive linemen from last year, lost Jake Fromm for the year, and had a bunch of missed games from other key starters? You’ve been middling all year with a roster that according to all of you was going to be the one to win a title. UF is sitting at 7-2 with a backup QB who hasn’t started a game since middle school. If you think that is due to anything other than excellent coaching you’re a moron. No one is telling you 10-2 will be good enough into perpetuity. Context matters.

Uhhh last time I checked, FSU has won a national title this decade, UGA hasn't. UGA hasn't won a national title in most American's lives at this point. FSU for all it's woes right now is more relevant in Football than UGLY is. Hell, they have 3 legitimate national titles to UGLY's 1. You have some serious balls talking crap to people around here the way you do.

I'll be back when Georgia is playing for the SEC Championship and you guys are pissing in each other's boots and starting petitions to have Todd Grantham relieved of his coaching duties

Considering you can’t look past the nuance of a win-loss column you should stop asking rhetorical or hypothetical questions. UGA came into the season with all the advantages of Alabama, LSU, Clemson, and Ohio St. And you have looked pedestrian all year considering your talent level. Lost to a terrible Gamecock team but your season is saved because you beat Florida. You losers are so used to being bridesmaids and middle of the pack that UF is your national championship. You asked what more could you want to try and deflect from the fact that even a win over a rebuilding UF is all that matters because you’re now 40 years stuck as a regional program. Standby for A&M Jimbo is going to push your shit in. Congrats on your win though. It’s the one game a year I can watch and not give a shit who wins.

I get it! Your pissed that you had all this faith in Mullen and kept saying how dumb Kirby is. It hurts to see Kirby coach a great game and Mullen's offense look like crap. Take some time off this board. You'll feel better.

I'm not saying Mullen is a bad coac . If you'll re-read my original thoughts I said I thought he was a good coach and a good recruiter. That alone in the crappy SEC East gets you between 8-4 and 10-2. Mullen has done than. Good for him. I just laugh at you Gator fans to think somehow he is going to turn in to this great recruiter. He is too weird of a guy to be a great recruiter. He is what he is...a good coach and a good recruiter.

Oh so now Mullen’s success is due to being in the crappy SEC East. Being good is just good enough. Funny how that logic didn’t apply when you all spent all offseason propping up Kang Kirby’s accomplishments. Thanks for letting me know I can discount whatever he accomplishes from now on since the SEC East is crappy.

Then, like most cowards, we won't see you again after another year with no natty comes and goes. You are clearly butt sore and bitter. Again, I completely understand....well not really...but trying.

I don't disagree with you, but you have to admit kirby walked into a much better situation than Mullen. Like Ooz has pointed out we were 4-7 the year before, and that in as you put it the crappy east. Where Mullen has us right now is certainly ahead of schedule. Just lost to you guys by 7 points in a game that wasn't finally decided until 3 minutes left. Now, come year 4, if we aren't competing for Nattys, then you are right about Mullen.

 

[UFRichter]

I know none if you are begging for my thoughts but I have stuck around long enough and talked enough trash (and took plenty of trash-talking from y'all). Many of you will lump me in to this big pot of Georgia posters as if we all say the same thing. Go back and look at my posts and what you will see is that I am very consistent in what I post...Mullen will not win you a championship and Kirby is better than Mullen. I never say Kirby is a great coach or that we are going ton win a natty, etc although I do think this Georgia team makes the playoff this year despite us not playing well at times.

Ok...as far as the game goes. Many Florida fans point to Coley and say "I told you he was horrible" and you have been correct much of the year. Georgia fans say the exact same thing about 3rd and Grantham. You won't ever beat Kirby with him as your defensive coordinator. If Mullen isn't smart enough to make a change at DC then get use to this.

I thought Trask played as well as could be expected. He was under some pressure but made some strong throws in tight coverage.

Dan Mullen will not win you an SEC championship (much less take you to the CFP). In the SEC you either need to be a GREAT recruiter or a GREAT coach. Mullen is a good recruiter and a good coach. He is much like Richt. You will have years that you feel you are really competing with the big boys and feeling great about "progress' and then look back and realize he has been here 10 years and hasn't won the SEC. I'm sure many of you will respond with "4th and Dumb, etc" but Kirby is a great recruiter and a good coach. Therefore, he gives us a shot at being in Atlanta every year which gives us a shot at the CFP.

I thought last year's game was much more competitive than this year...even though the final score was closer. Yesterday it felt like we controlled the game throughout where as last year felt really tight until the 4th quarter. Just like last year the final score wasn't indicative of what actually happened on the field.

What you're overlooking is that HBC's who are great recruiters but only good coaches fairly quickly become average recruiters. Word gets around that the good coach won't get you the titles. Kirby may turn out to be a great coach, in which case UF is screwed, but he hasn't shown that so far.

As for Mullen's coaching, he is better than good and better than Kirby, though I'm not sure yet whether he's in the Spurrier and Meyer "great" category. His 17-5 record so far (vs. 18-4 for Kirby for the same period with far better players and depth) tells me he's likely to ascend to that level if recruiting continues to improve.

When is all is said and done, we're both homers. We'll see who's the correct homer two years from now when Mullen has been at Florida as long as Smart's current reign at Georgia.

You won’t beat Auburn or A&M so, shut the fvck up loser!!! Kirby really sucks still. Fromm is why you won and he’s gone after this year Son.

I see ur point on the 4-7 season but I think that was more indicative of the season (losing the coach, etc) than the talent.

If you look at the previous three seasons prior to Kirby and Mullen getting at their schools Florida won 23 games (including the 4 wins that prior yr) and won 2 SEC East titles. Georgia won 28 games with no SEC East titles. I don't think the talent level was near as big of a gap as Gator fans want to believe.

Our talent level was extremely depleted. We were winning games on the leftovers of Muschamps defense. Once those guys bailed out and left Mac on his own in year 3, well you saw the results. The cupboard was bare when Mullen arrived.

Thing is we were competing this year. We came up short. I'm not listening to some of these idiot rival posters. I can see the product on the field and it's 100 times better than before Mullen arrived.

 

[ArsenalDawg]

Kirby has recruited at an elite level, but he's in year 4 and there will not be a natty this year. I don't believe he will ever get it done. As for Mullen, he's stabilized the program and we will see where he stands in year 4 then we can make some comparisons. Remember, Trask was a high school backup that no big program wanted. Mullen has done a great job adjusting.

The problem I see with Mullen from afar is that he simply isn't passionate about recruiting as guys like Smart and Saban are. I could be totally wrong on this...but I don't think so. For example, as some of you probably know, Mullen has a second home on Lake Oconee, about an hour south of Athens. From what I've been told by neighbors of his in his particular community, he spends a TON of time there, and locals often see him out and about with his family throughout the year.

On the flip side, even though he lives just up the road in Athens, its very rare to see Smart anywhere near his lake property just a few houses down from Mullen, and I know quite a few people in the area who have yet to get a glimpse of him there since they bought the home some years back while as an assistant at Bama. I've gotten many pic texts of Mullen hanging out at Lake Oconee while Smart is off somewhere on a recruiting visit at the same time, and I know if I were a UF fan it probably would piss me off at least a little that - based on perception anyway - Smart is working just a little harder.

Not only that, but as someone who grew up in GA rooting for UGA, played at UGA, and now coaches UGA, it's clear that this game means a ton to CKS. I mean, just look at him running around like a little kid after the game the last few years celebrating with his players and fans. Mullen, meanwhile, grew up in the northeast and played at a small PA school. Now, there's nothing wrong with that at all, but if you had to take a guess who this game means more to, Kirby or Dan, objectively you'd have to probably guess Kirby. Kirby even has referenced on many occasions how he only beat UF 1 time as a player, and you can tell to this day it bothers him (very much like Spurrier as a player going against UGA back in his day).

Lastly, FWIW I am a UGA alum and don't particularly care for UF. However, my oldest brother is a UF alum and completed his residency at Shands, thus I have a lot of respect for UF as an academic institution (certainly far more than most other SEC schools).

Excellent point regarding the game meaning more to Kirby. I certainly wouldn't disagree there. Urban put a ton of emphasis on rivalry games and hence he was 16-2 against our 3 biggest rivals. Mullen can coach for sure, but he is going to have to step up the recruiting efforts in order for Florida to reach an elite level. First thing is he needs to get rid of Grantham. Kirby has proven himself to be an excellent recruiter, he learned from Saban that is more important than being a great coach. But with Kirby, in my opinion, you are always going to get that game or two where he is completely outcoached to the point his talent advantage disappears. See SC game this year.

Mullen may not be as good recruiter but the rest of this statement from this guy is just dumb. Mullen talks about rivalries and is passionate about it. He makes a very big deal about it.

This is the dumbest post I've ever seen lol but you actually believe this. Yeah Mullen doesnt care about recruiting and spends tons of time in GA with his family. First every coach takes time off. You're an idiot.

Just relaying to you what I know...nothing more or less. Of course every coach takes time off; I'm simply saying that perhaps Mullen isn't as passionate about recruiting as Smart is given how much of his time he spends away as his Lake Oconee home. As for the rivalry aspect, being as objective as possible, given their history, who you do you feel the game means more to, Kirby or Dan? Again, Smart grew up a UGA fan from birth and played at UGA. Mullen's ties to UF didn't begin until 10 years ago as an OC for a few years under Meyer before leaving for MSU.

Excellent point regarding the game meaning more to Kirby. I certainly wouldn't disagree there. Urban put a ton of emphasis on rivalry games and hence he was 16-2 against our 3 biggest rivals. Mullen can coach for sure, but he is going to have to step up the recruiting efforts in order for Florida to reach an elite level. First thing is he needs to get rid of Grantham. Kirby has proven himself to be an excellent recruiter, he learned from Saban that is more important than being a great coach.

Thanks for the response. I honestly don't think Smart was outcoached this year by SC, though in the past he has been. I think it simply came down to lackluster play and a horrid game by Jake Fromm. Remember, UGA had 5 TO's to SC's 0, including a pick 6 from Fromm. Yet the game still went to OT and UGA easily could have won. From a schematic standpoint, the D was awesome and didn't let SC really do anything all day. OC Coley, well, that's a different story.

With that said, most teams have that 1-2 games yearly where they crap the bed. For ex., for Saban's dynasty run at Bama, which is accepted as the greatest ever, he's only had one defeated season (2012). Heck, I don't think Spurrier or Meyer ever went undefeated and also had their crapper games as well.

Spurrier nor Meyer lost at home to a team with a losing record. Can't speak for Saban, but I would suspect that he too doesn't fall into that category. It's one thing to have a shitty game against a decent team, it's a whole different story to have one against a bad team at home. Kirby is going to get you those in my opinion.

I agree with you. Mullen wants to beat Georgia way more than any other team by far. That is evidence of his dumb trolling in the offseason. It eats Mullen alive to lose ro Kirby!
