Really impressed with your internet badassness.

Art Vandelay. Cool name.

Richt’s downfall to me isn’t so much motivation. We laid three straight beatdowns on LSU after Saban embarrassed Richt in the 03 SEC championship. His problem is that his game management skills absolutely blow. I swear, sometimes it’s like he isn’t watching the same game everyone else is. Case in point: 2002 WLOCP, Greenie starts 5-5 with a touchdown and UGA is rocking. Then he pulls Greene for Shockley, not to run a QB draw or something, but to throw a 30 yard, across the field, out pattern. 2005 we ran the JT3 sweep on 3rd and 14 on the final drive of the game. I could go on and on and on.

I liken the situation to Mack Brown and Texas prior to 2005. Who were you going to get better? You can’t fire a coach that wins 80% of his games b/c who is going to want to replace him knowing that 80% isn’t good enough for you to keep your job?

All the mental lapses that have happened to UGA in the Cocktail Party are easily remedied with a couple of wins in a row; I don’t think that streak starts this year, though — I’m clearly biased, but I don’t think this year’s UF team is beatable by this year’s UGA team. Once Tebow moves on next year, I think the playing field is leveled out considerably, and that could be the time for Adams to consider a coaching change.
The program at UGA has too much going for it to suffer as many setbacks as it has under Richt. There’s not a single reason why UGA couldn’t have the same success as those schools — the facilities are there, the fanbase is there, the recruiting base is there, but the Top Dawg doesn’t seem quite up to the challenge. Of course, the really difficult part of the equation is figuring out who could do a better job — replacing Richt with the wrong guy could set the program back a decade, like it did with Goof/Donnan, or it could be a temporary setback like UF had with Zook. Timing is everything.

Prior to 2002, I’d agree wholehearted that UF was consistently better, since then, the talent levels have been much closer and UGA turning into a headcase in the City to Busy to Bathe has had as much to do with the losses down there as Florida has.

The bottom line is UGA couldn’t be wound any tighter when they step on the field in Jax if they tried. It is obvious in the body language, the play calling, execution, everything. The team, fans, and coach all sit around and wait for the inevitable colossal mistake that’s bound to happen. Dropped passes, missed tackles, handing the ball forward instead of lateraling backwards, having fucking punt hit you in the back, etc. all happen when you’re puckered up so tight that you can’t breath.

The fact of the matter is we blew our chance to gain any momentum in 02, 03, and 05 specifically. Win both of those, and Richt’s probably breathing a lot easier. Lose three winnable games, and the pressure keeps mounting.

The only problem with your theory is that, in this case, you actually DO suck, and the Dawgs bitching about the game being played in Jax ARE pussies. See, by trying to use a stadium as part of your excuse for losing to UF every year, you, Richt and the other UGA fans who want the game moved are just trying to minimize the REAL factors behind the Gators’ 16 out of 19 streak (and counting). The actual reasons behind the streak are very simple, and have nothing at all to do with where the game is played:

1. UF has been a consistently better team than UGA ever since Spurrier arrived in 1990 (3 national championships in 4 appearances, and all those SEC titles speak for themselves).
2. UGA receivers and tight ends can be counted on for at least two huge drops per game, every year, and ESPN will show at least two highlights of UGA defenders grasping at air while someone like, say, Percy Harvin or Tim Tebow runs right past (or over) them.
3. UGA coaches are apparently incapable of preparing the team for this game, even when the Pups have equal or better talent. From the opening kickoff (or, last year, from the time Spikes planted Moreno 8 inches under the turf), the Dawgs behave like a team that knows it has no chance and thus, they have none.

Oh, and how do you know I’m not the ORIGINAL Art Vandelay on the interwebs? I realize it’s not nearly as creative and original as “NRBQ.” Is that pronounced “narr-be-queue?”

So, bitch all you want, and hate me all you want — it doesn’t change the fact that you suck, pussy.

Yes, I remember what happened the last time Florida came to Athens. The Braves won the World Series. That is the only thing I remember from that day. It required expensive therapy to achieve this state, so don’t remind me.

2. The talk is the wrong kind of talk. It’s loser talk, but given the record in Jax that Richt is toting right now, it seems about right. 2 wins is going to get him fired. Eventually. But not soon.

3. Paul Johnson > Mark Richt? It’s more like Tech:Georgia::Georgia:Florida. Enjoy your one and eight for however many days are left.

4. +5 Cocktails to rjsplow

5. Boclive is funny. He’s from Alabama and he’s making a “Georgians are dumb” joke. Ha! That’s priceless. Alabama is so very precious as it wallows in its provincialism.

Unfortunately, you are one of uncountable hordes of dickhead “you suck, pussies” cfb posters.

And as for the puppies bitching about UF’s non-conference slate, why not have a look at who was just added as your 12th game in 2010? That’s right, the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Motherfuckin’ Cajuns!

Give us a break — excuses are for pussies. Bring a better team to the game and stop dropping open passes and missing tackles, and maybe you’ll be able to turn your shitty fortunes around. Unlikely, but you never know.

How could you, as a Bulldog fan, POSSIBLY even begin to understand? How’s that for smug?

Orson, can you please give me the words to describe awesomeness of that phrase? Because I certainly don’t.

Oh yeah, as far as the game location: last I checked, the field in Jax is 100 yards long and 160′ wide, same as it is between the hedges and in the Swamp.
