2) Dawg-Dore, you have got to be delusional. Really, your logic skills are lacking. I'm sure you suck at analogies and higher math. Just because you can get a good education at Ugag or just because there are top notch grads at Ugag doesn't mean that school is equal to Vandy or Tech. Give me a freakin' break. BTW, the Ivy League produces some of the biggest educated fools (despite their SATs) with some of the most hare-brained ideas on the planet, so I'm not surprised some of them didn't make it.
3) Again to Dawg-CommodeOdor, what is it with Dawg fans and delusion? Is there a toxic leak in the water system at Athens? Lead paint chipping off and falling into people's Cokes at Sanford and Son stadium? Florida and Tennessee would NOT have given Miami any better of a game than Nebraska. Good grief. Auburn beat you and they couldn't even beat UNC. Boston College was the 4th place team in the Big East and beat you guys. Georgia a rising team? How does duplicating your record from last year make you a "rising team"? LSU, I can see. At least they made it to the SEC championship game. Again, you SEC doofuses equate recruiting hyped-up high school kids with actual on the field success.
4) The in-state sweep will be back again this year as FSU, Clemson and Tech will all take their in-state SEC enemies down.
5) Fact: the SEC has had MORE probations and scandals than any other conference in the country. Still, SMU got the death penalty for LESS than some SEC schools (Bama, Kentucky) have been found guilty of. If the SEC isn't a rogue conference, they do the best impression of one I've ever seen.
<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Technician, your points are well-taken. You're right that my math skills blow, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to law school, but no one makes it in this field without the ability to reason and analogize.
Your reading comprehension skills are apparently as lacklustre as my math b/c I never compared UGA and GT.
Of course GT and VU are perceived as much better academically than UGA, and IMO both GT and VU have great academics. And if you look at the average ability of the student body, I agree that GT and VU are way ahead b/c they are so much smaller and admit only very qualified applicants.
But my point is that UGA's academics are much better than you think and their admissions criteria are getting more stringent (I think the average SAT score is now over 1200) and if you can get just as good an education at UGA as VU, why pay the extra money for VU, and miss out on one of the best college towns in the country? Y'all calling it a "commuter college" that has "dropped any pretense of academics" is a bunch of delusional GT propaganda.
Comparisons b/t UGA and GT are like comparing apples and oranges b/c both offer such different curricula, but I think both schools complement each other well and there's no reason why any resident of Georgia should have to go outside the state for a good education.
As to my delusion over UGA football, you may be right, but I'm no more delusional than y'all were at the beginning of last year when GT was a dark horse for a national title shot before pissing it away against mediocre ACC talent.
I like to compare UGA this year with our second-year head coach to Bob Stoops in his second year in which OU won the national title. OU lost 5 games the year before including a disappointing bowl loss to Ole Miss. Look out for them Dawgs! They were close in every game last year and can only get better now that they're not breaking in a new quarterback, which y'all are going to have to suffer through this year. If I'm wrong, I'll be here in early December to take my beating like a man.
Furthermore, your prediction of an in-state sweep is right on the money, but it's going to be a sweep in the other direction just like it was last year.
And finally, I'm not so delusional that I don't realize that the SEC has had some recruiting scandals, some major (Alabama, UK, and now MSU), some minor (UT and Ark.), but those schools are going to have to deal with the consequences now and in the end they're going to see that it wasn't worth the harm that they have done to their programs.
As far as UGA is concerned however, every thing I've heard about Richt is that while he may be a dogged recruiter, he is clean and plays by the rules. Further, you're naive if you think that SEC schools are the only ones committing violations. Rick Neuheisel has as much as admitted to multiple violations while coaching at CU.
GO DAWGS!!
