I heard Georgia football cures cancer........

[BamaFanNKy]

I swear everyday there is a new post every 12 hours about how good UGA will be. EVery year there is a team that is hyped...... but come on guys it's not like they are so good and there is everyone else. Plus their schedule is a beast and it's a lot of pressure to put that on them and have them play that schedule.

They may very well be the most talented, but in my humble opinion the road games and tough (venue specific) conference games will have them lose 1 or 2 games. The last time an SEC team went undefeated was Auburn in what 2003 and Tennessee in 1998. It is a 5 year cycle...... so Dawgs the trend helps.

[Gator2753]

Ive heard that half of the teams on their schedule are going to forfeit before August.
So they really only need to win about 6 games to go undefeated.

Well, we are not one of those. They might as well get ready to kick our butts on the field, but you best bring your A game.

Why bother? Moreno is only going to leave cleat prints all over your linebackers jerseys:laugh:
j/k

[uscrules]

All that is yet to be decided. The cleats could be on his back.

[BamaFanNKy]

Honestly, Moreno may actually do all those things and they may be dominate. But that schedule there are sure to be injuries and fatigue. It is top 2 schedule in conf.

[WayzUp]

UGA is getting respect for how they finished the second half of their slate last year, the pub given to Knowshon Moreno and the gift-wrapped bowl win by giving them sacrificial lamb and paper tiger Hawaii to beat on in the Sugar bowl.

I think they have a ton of talent and very well could be as good as advertised but it remains to be seen if they'll struggle at times like they did early last season. IMO, Stafford needs to step up and be better than 56th in passing efficiency if they are to be as good as the "experts" are making them out to be.

Dawgs were #83 in the National passing stats rankings and finished #2 last season. LSU won it all and finished #58 in the Nation....the difference is a 26.9 yd/g average.....or about 4 plays a game tossing it instead of running it.

I agree, Stafford needs to play like the rising Junior he will be and there isn't any reason why one shouldn't expect it. Sadly for you and SCU, the Dawgs will have played a couple of games before visiting and thus the rust will have officially been knocked off.

Were I you or any other opponent, I'd be praying for some of the uber loaded Dawg D to fall out as it is going to be hard to score at all against them. Since the Dawgs will be playing on a shorter field all season as a result, a skewing of the stats will occur. Just another reason to not base one's thinking too heavily on them alone.

Lucky for you we will be further into our season when we play you (3rd game)
And we all know we start off as world beaters then get progressivley worse.

You just hope we still keep that trend for 08 :angry:

Eheh, maybe the pullets will have discovered some Offense for the Dawgs to annihilate by then, lol.

All the finger lickin' good needs to do is show up, for if you simply glance at the record, y'all won your once every 5-7 years game last season. Your defeat is as certain as is UT's when they come to Athens. Should the Dawgs lose at all it won't be to either you or the Vols, not this season.

The Dawgs will leave Colanut with a victory and they will enjoy a week off before UT visits, just as they (UT) did last season. Somebody put up the stat about bye weeks before big rivalries and the winning % of the team off was ridiculously high. Since I missed out on last year's build up to the season, as time goes along I'll be making up for it this year.

Seriously, if he were on the ballot, he'd be a better choice then those other two we have to choose from IMO. He'd get my vote.

Plus, if he won, we wouldn't have to worry about him as the coach at UGA anymore. :laugh:

[MillDawg007]

Its not our fault we got screwed by playing Hawaii in the sugar bowl. Some of the so called experts were picking Hawaii to beat UGA and I know some SEC fans were waiting to see what Hawaii could do. The fact of the matter is they couldnt do anything. Our team was just easily better than theirs. You cant discredit UGA for playing who the BCS thought we should play. Trust me the game I wanted was USC in the ROSE BOWL but that didnt happen because of tradition. UGA is getting hype, they had a heck of a finish last year. I honestly think there was a hangover from what that moron CTRLALTDEL said a couple days back so UGA fans are feeling the need to back their coach, their team, and thier university.

Ill be the first one to tell you our schedule scares me and I dont know if we can make it though it to get to a SEC Championship. But they do have the talent to do so, and thats all I can ask as a fan. Put out a team with a real chance to take the SEC year in and year out and im a happy person. Cant fault us for that. Some of the Dawg fans are a bit optomistic but put yourself in their position. Some moron just called our coach a satanistic person, bashed our team and our program, all after watching our football team excel last season, our basketball team step up and win the SEC tourney, and theres a game on Saturday in Omaha that involves the Dawgs also. If you were a UGA fan you would be just as excited but I agree some need to cool the outlandish UGA cures Aids or what not. I mean come on guys like the thread says we only cure Cancer.

I actually have UGA losing their easier games.
Chris Hatcher should have the Eagles primed for an upset between the hedges.
Looks like Paul Johnson & GT QB J-BO Shaw are also going to show UGA what the option is all about. I like the nerd herd in Athens as well.
You will lose only 1 SEC game and will play Boisie State in the Sugar Bowl.

10-3:laugh:

[geechee]

Ive heard that half of the teams on their schedule are going to forfeit before August.
So they really only need to win about 6 games to go undefeated.

We would never allow that. They can forfeit if they like, but, we are still showing up. When it comes to sports, those 13-14 games we play each season are all true Dogs' fans care about. We care about each and everyone of them, whether it is Ga Southern or its UF. In January Dogs fans have serious withdrawal pains.:thumpsup:

I hope that is how every person feels about their team.

By the time we lost the 6th straight game... and of all teams... TO CLEMSON!! I hung up the Footballvision for a few months hmmm 4-5 to be semi accurate.

January .... No november was a bad month to be a Panther & Gamecock fan....

It's gonna be great to have the "New Car" smell again come August.

GO COCKS! :thumpsup::wub:

I think Stafford will definitely have to be improved for UGA to have great success. One thing that hasn't really been talked about is Moreno catching everyone off guard last season. Nobody was aware of what he was all about last year... they'll be waiting and planning for him this year.

No problem, but, y'all will still not be able to stop him this year either. And even if you do, how are you going to stop King and Samuel? Especially now that you are going to have to worry about A J Green out on that flank also.

Tebow doesn't cure cancer, he's into circumcision.......:ohmy:

[MillDawg007]

A 10-3 record would probably disappoint just about every UGA fan but its really not that much of a stretch. Away games at AU and LSU our annual rival at UF, those are some scary games. I feel the Dawgs will do better than a 10-3 mark but it will be tough. We have the talent we just need to get these boys ready to play starting with GA Southern. Get some young guys involved and get the rust off for SCAR. If we can just take it one game at a time we could do some great things this year in Athens. GO DAWGS.

Expect the same out of King this year. UGA played very well last year but as usual took a game or two to gel together and find chemistry. I'm hoping that we are kicking on all cylinders by the time we roll into South Carolina.

Not bashing on Moody and Rainey but they will not be comparable to Knowshon let alone Caleb King. We have a heard of running backs that have shown their ability. I know Caleb hasnt proven it on the field against SEC teams but Moody and Rainey havent proven it eaiter.

[RaMMeR JaMMeR]

Did you know that Matt Stafford got circumsized and the foreskin is now known as Tim Tebow?
UGA is going to have a great year. I'm not to worried about their schedule.

The first two games are a joke.

Spurrier will get dominated.

ASU is a blessing in my opinion. If UGA wins, it will pump them up so much, and if they get upset, it won't effect their SEC standings.

UGA is gonna get some serious revenge against Fulmer.

Vandy- Gonna be some good practice for that nasty recruiting class UGA picked up.

Death Valley isnt as bad as everyone hypes it up to be. *cough* 30 years straight *cough*

Florida- Not even gonna try and predict this one.

Kentucky- Rerun of last year

Auburn- there will be no toilet paper thrown that night, or for the rest of the season

Ga Tech- LOL

Georgia only loses 2 games next year. Bama in Athens and Bama in Atlanta. Just like Florida in 99. Yeah, I'm a big homer.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it is still a little homerish. A "narrow margin" is possible, but not probable. Face it, UGA is stacked with talent and Saban won't have Bama at full strength until next year of the next. That being said, isn't it just wishful thinking to say you will win the West? LSU still has tons of talent (and the QB situation isn't as important as it may seem...we survived with Cox) and Auburn has established itself as a perennial power in the West. To go along with that, isn't "stomp"ing "the barn" also a little bit of wishful thinking? I could understand if you just left it at "beating," but "stomping" rarely happens in this rivalry.

It must suck for you to have to root for the Gators because you know your own team isn't good enough to win the East, but you just can't stand the thought of the Bulldogs beating down everybody.

He's not a real Bama fan... so that probably won't hurt his feelings. If you really wanna get him stirred up, say something bad about UCLA.

[BamaFanNKy]

2000 was the last time Bama fans won something. You can say something bad about Bama and UCLA. I don't get sooo wrapped up in my team that beating a team from the WAC makes me ready to take on the world. Granted your team lost to a .500 team last year and your already talking NC this year. Plus, I realize when you lose scholarships your probably not going to win many games.

Plus to talk crap to UF fans is crazy. You are 2-8 against them over the last 10 years. They have as much preseason accolades (with a weaker schedule next year) as you. They are on track to have as much a shot as you. I mean.... it is s*** that two "Dominate" programs are playing 1aa teams and talking NC.

I know you're not about to start that schedule BS again. Every team in the country plays at least one cupcake (at least we only play one this year), BFNKY. Some schools' entire in-conference schedule is nothing but cake.;) I don't think Bama's going to have much trouble with Arkansas State, Tulane, or Western Kentucky, either.

[BamaFanNKy]

Yeah..... I think WKU, Ark. State, Clemson and Tulane are all in 1a bowl division correct. Why the hell is UF playing the Citadel? Really? Come on at least play a good 1aa team.

I'm sorry that I am actually being realistic instead of picking my team to win every game. Georgia is the best in the East this year but I believe their schedule is too tough. Florida has just a good of a chance as Georgia does and I like a team that is returning the best player in college football to lead their team.

My team was good enough to win the East last year. We didn't lose much and I'm sure as heck not counting them out. I'm just trying to take an unbiased position unlike you. Fans like you make me want to cheer for Florida. Do those T-Shirts have Tebow for Heisman on the front of them? If so I might be interested.

[ShowTime24]

And Georgia's preseason hype won't win sh*t for them. I'd say recent hardware is more credible than preseason hype.

oh are you talking recent like what happen last year? cause last year UGA went 11-2 with a BCS bowl win, while UF went 9-4 with a capitol one bowl loss to michigan!

[KHVols1387]

oh are you talking recent like what happen last year? cause last year UGA went 11-2 with a BCS bowl win, while UF went 9-4 with a capitol one bowl loss to michigan!

If you want to get technical... Florida has the most recent SEC hardware. IMO neither hype or recent hardware will help any team this season. If you actually read what I was referring to I was saying that hardware is a lot more credible than hype. Tebow and Florida have won championships which I think gives them a more realistic chance to do it again. Stafford and Georgia have no experience in Championship games and all they have to rely on is hype.

[MillDawg007]

Tebow hasnt won a championship as a starting QB. He was playmates with Leak when he was the freaking running back in the national title run. Sure he won a national championship but it wasnt his show that made them national champs.

The Hype helped LSU last season. They started the season at number one and ended the season at number one. IMO especially in the SEC you have to be ranked in the top 10 to have a chance to win the title. AU a couple years ago wasnt ranked that high to start off and that ruined their chances because they couldnt climb the latter. I know it may not be fair how to distinguish who plays for the title game but thats the system we have in place.

[MillDawg007]

Will UGA run the table I doubt it but all things equal which they arent AKA our schedule I like our chances better becuase we return a defense while UF doesnt. They are hoping they field a defense.

[BamaFanNKy]

AU a couple years ago wasnt ranked that high to start off and that ruined their chances because they couldnt climb the latter. I know it may not be fair how to distinguish who plays for the title game but thats the system we have in place.

Please don't pull that out as an example. 5-6 Lousianna Monroe (I know they beat us last year), 1aa Citadel and 6-6 La. Tech as your non-conf is why Auburn was not crowned champions or given a shot. YOUR SCHEDULE MATTERS. Granted they play major program Tennesse-Martin and La. Monroe you would think it was a s*** schedule. But going to play WVU gives them the bump this year that if they go undefeated they deserve the shot. One non-conf opponent can make a big difference.

Wow.. you cares if he started or not. He played a big role in why they won championships. That is more than Stafford has done.

As for Auburn, as you said that is something wrong with the system. I'd say not having all of that pre season hype helped Auburn sneak below the radar early and then prove they were the best in the nation late. They unfortunately got screwed by the system. Pre season hype hurts more teams than it helps. LSU is a rare case of starting pre ranked #1 and finishing #1. I'd say luck had more to do with that than their pre season hype.

[MillDawg007]

Please don't pull that out as an example. 5-6 Lousianna Monroe (I know they beat us last year), 1aa Citadel and 6-6 La. Tech as your non-conf is why Auburn was not crowned champions or given a shot. YOUR SCHEDULE MATTERS. Granted they play major program Tennesse-Martin and La. Monroe you would think it was a s*** schedule. But going to play WVU gives them the bump this year that if they go undefeated they deserve the shot. One non-conf opponent can make a big difference.

So if Bama goes undefeated in the SEC and non conference you wouldnt think they should play in the national title. Dont contradict yourself, if you were in their position you would be a pissed off person. Being in the SEC alone we all could schedule ULMONROE every year and I would still put any SEC team in the championship if they make it through without a blemish.

People across the country are crying for the SEC to play teams like WVU and OSU and USC but honestly all it does is make our already difficult schedules that much harder.

[BamaFanNKy]

Someone tell me how Auburn playing NOONE in OOC they got screwed? Oklahoma was undefeated and played ZERO 1aa teams in OOC. In fact they played a BCS team. Southern Cal played Va. Tech on the road, Notre Dame, COlorado State and went on the road to BYU and were undefeated. No Way a reasonable man would pick Auburn who played their weak schedule. Stop saying it was because they had no preseason hype. Auburn was preseason top 20. USC and Oklahoma were #1 and #2. They played tough OOC game and proved they deserved it. The AD lost the title for Auburn. Not voting.

So I say again. If UGA or UT go undefeated they would have run the toughest gauntlet of any SEC team recently.

[gatorunvrsty]

Yeah..... I think WKU, Ark. State, Clemson and Tulane are all in 1a bowl division correct. Why the hell is UF playing the Citadel? Really? Come on at least play a good 1aa team.

Whether it's a 1A cupcake or a 1AA cupcake, the end result is the same... it's a gimme. I don't care if it's a bad 1AA, good 1AA, or bad 1A. And, as I stated, at least UF is only playing one of those; and Bama has 3 on their schedule... although I'm not sure any are gimme's for Bama after watching last year.:ph34r:

Also, I'm not sure whether you're aware of this or not, although it's fairly common knowledge... sometimes it's the smaller programs who request a chance to play the bigger programs. One, it translates into big money for the small school, that they're frequently in dire need of. And two, and you really should know this; sometimes they want the exposure and recognition to further their own program... you know, like WKU, who you claim to be so familiar with, and who just made the jump to D1 ball?

MillDawg. La. Monroe is a 1A team. Citadel is NOT. That's the problem. If your going to play a 1aa team you have to schedule a BCS team as well. Bama played FSU last year with 1a team La. Monroe and I still called it a s*** schedule. Milldawg, I am the Bama fan who said it was s*** that during COach Bryants years he never played in Oxford. So don't act like I am not rational. Auburn played not one BCS team and played a 1aa team. The other two teams played a proper OOC schedule. They deserved it.

If you want to really solve it..... no more OOC. Play more conf. games.

NAh.... I didn't know that. I only cover Western Kentucky University. hehehe. I get that. But, you don't have to stoop down and play Citadel. I will give you credit you have a nice other three. But for the love of God play So. Miss not citadel. There is a difference.

As for Bama..... the 2 Sun Belt games will go away. Most people don't realize that ND and Penn State dropped series with Alabama in the past few years (including this year I think) so they had to get lesser opponents. Nick Saban seems to be moving to more difficult schedules.

[MillDawg007]

With SEC teams scheduling teams like ASU and WVU and UCLA it is just hurting us. Teams like OSU play Northwestern for godsakes and also play crappy 1a teams even worse then them. Id gladly take OSU's schedule this year over just about any SEC schedule. I feel we are playing these non conference games because the media is saying we just play in our region and that seems to be why some people dont respect us. All im saying is if AU would have scheduled a top tier team it would have made their run that much harder. Just like UGA this season, if SEC schools keep scheduling top tier out of conference games as well as our brutal schedule in the toughest conference in America we will be seeing SEC teams eliminated in the national title hunt becuase mark my words no one will make it through.

As for Tebow starting, his record as a starting quarterback leading his team was 9-4. Its a whole different ballgame when you are the one out there leading your team it makes a lot of difference. Granted hes played in a title game but he threw one pass, in no way will that translate to a title win again he will have to carry the load. Stafford doesnt have the 10 rushes for 39 yards and 1 td in the national title, or 1 pass for 1 yard for one td in the title game, this I know. Im just making a point that Tebow didnt lead his team to that title by himself as the starting QB. I realize he didnt have the same team as the year before but thats irrelevent, hes a stud QB but now hes the man and we will see if he can do it.

It takes more than just Superman to win a national title.

If you notice. I HATE OHIO STATE MORE THAN ANYONE! I make fun of the Big Televen. But playing NW is like playing Vandy, Ole Miss etc. Have you seen tOSU schedule this year?

They go on the road to USCw...... not ASU or UCLA. They do play Youngstown (Which is Tressel's old team. Meyer never coached at Citadel and Richt never coached at Ga. Southern). They play Troy (Like most of the SEC they play Sun Belt) and Ohio. So the non-conf is not great but they go to L.A. Then you add games at Wisconsin and Illinois. Illinois went 9-3 last year and is right before their rival game. A big trip up game. Going to Wisconsin is always a beast for teams. So really...... you think their schedule is weak?

Like I said, I hate them. But they are going to be scary next year. I hope SC beats them so the SEC won't have to play them.

You are totally missing the point. The point is that I would rather have a quarterback that has experience in big games such as NCG and SECCG whether he started or not. Stafford has 0 experience in any kind of championship setting. All he has is hype. Hype that he is yet to meet. Agree to disagree but your right we will see how both handle leading their teams next year. Should be exciting to watch.

[BamaFanNKy]

He led his high school team to a State title in Texas. :D

Me personally I would rather have a QB that led his team to an 11-2 record over one that led his team to a 9-4 record thats just me though

[BamaFanNKy]

I thought it was Moreno who led the team? Does anyone have a video of the guy in the middle of the on field celebration? Then we can see UGA's real leader. :D

Ironically, Southern Miss was a regular for us for years. But, I think picking up ThugU and Hawaii more than makes up for that. As bad as UM has been, it can't stay that way forever with all the talent they're bringing in. Find a real football coach, instead of a pastor/parole officer, and they'll be good again. Even in their current state, they're far and away better than a lot of the OOC teams on SEC schedules.

[BamaFanNKy]

No doubt UF has a top half of the NCAA schedule every year. That's why I was sad to see Citadel on there.

[gatorunvrsty]

Gotta get a little tune-up before going into Croak, and hastening Bowden's retirement. Although, it has occurred to me that the longer he stays, the longer we'll be rolling over their tired a$$es.:up_to_som


Oh, and UF is usually in the top 10 SOS every year... not the top half.

[MillDawg007]

Yes compared to SEC schedules OSU's schedule is weak. Comparing Northwestern to Vandy and Ole Miss, is laughable. Especially this season. Vandy gives teams headaches in the SEC and Ole Miss will again this season. Northwestern doesnt give anyone a headache at all, plus OSU needs to play a tough OCC becuase their in conference is terrible. Granted Wisconson is a tough location to play but come on man OSU owns Big 10 recruiting. They are the only team up there with any recent big time success. They will probably beat those teams.

I understand you hate OSU but I dont see how you can compare their schedule to any SEC teams schedule. UGA goes to ASU who almost beat USC last season and ASU shared the PAC 10 title. Add in that UGA plays in the SEC and you have a comletely lopsided problem with scheduling.

In all honesty ill ask you this question. If SEC teams keep scheduling powers from the BIG 10, PAC 10, BIG EAST, BIG 12 do you think we will see SEC teams playing in the title games frequently. My answer is not likely because we are already playing the toughest teams in the country and putting more tough teams in only further punishes the SEC in its chances to field National title contenders.

[BamaFanNKy]

Yes if you schedule these teams we will see the SEC make it. Because these teams will not be undefeated that we play. It also makes the arguments throw out. EVeryone who wants a playoff fears playing tough Non-Conf.

As for the Vandy comments. DUDE, I am a Vandy season ticket holder. Vandy is weaker this year than the past 4 years. Don't forget NW had a coach DIE. Not be fired DIE! Also, don't forget that NW has gone to a bowl in this century. NW has won the Big Televen in the last 15 years.

NW has gone on the road in the last 4 years ad beat a non conf BCS team. Last time Ole Miss did that 1934. Ole Miss won the conference last when? Vandy won the conference last when? UK won the conference last when? Seriously, I hear the NW cracks but that is one team as opposed to the three I mentioned.

I hate to admit this, Bama has not been Bama in sometime. So you count Bama, UK (Yes last year they were good), Vandy, Ole Miss and MSU have been all on par with the bottom two to three (NW, Indiana and Minnesota) of the Big Televen. Please prove me wrong, it pains me to admit it. The power of the SEC has been in the top 5 UF, UGA, LSU, Auburn, UT then a mid 2 in Arky and USCe then your lower tier. NW could easily fit in the lower tier. tOSU could play with any of our Power 5 and maybe win conference.

I can't believe I just admitted that thought. But do you honestly believe besides the top 5 this conference is that far above everyone else?

No, its because I think they're butt pirates with no appreciation of college football or athletics in general. Ole Miss sucks too, but I would never want them to leave the conference.

Butt pirates? I don't even want to know what you did to find that bit of information out. But, saying they have no appreciation is maybe the most misinformed statement typed on this board.

But, no one on the board cared about my scheduling beef..... but the schools in conference have started changing their schedules to be tougher. They must have noticed the same thing as me.

Misinformed? I've been to Vandy, I've interacted with their fans. They just don't give a crap. The majority of the people in the stands are old alumni and such... the student section is miserable... and they travel piss poorly too. They are not good fans. Hell, there aren't even any Vandy posters on this board... there was one guy, but he only visited like once every 3 weeks during basketball season. They eliminated their athletic department to take away the emphasis on sports and focus more on academics. Thats fine and dandy and all... if you're in an Ivy League conference. But the SEC places top priority on athletics, and Vandy does not.

[BamaFanNKy]

The point your missing, most fans on this board have never stepped foot in a class at the school they pull for (like myself). Vanderbilt fans are Alumni based. There is a true school atmosphere there. NOT A STATE SCHOOL! Also, Vanderbilt has more of a world pull than a state pull to their university than any other university per capita. I was shocked to hear California was the second most represented state at Vanderbilt. You s*** on it because the bubba nation of Tennessee is not tailgating in the parking lot. Those guys are UT fans. They have as good a student section for basketball and baseball as any SEC School. Football is lacking, but that's because there is not much to crow about.

Your very misinformed and have experienced college games at Vandy probably for the last 8 years at best. I've watched it grow and grow over the last 4 years. It takes time to bring people back. I remember the wooden stands a few years back sitting next to Eddie George and other Titans when they were injured watching games I've experienced it for the last 15 to 20 years. Compariable crowds I've ever seen is UGA basketball (In the last 4 years) or Kentucky Baseball. But, that doesn't warrant dropping years of history. Also, you s*** on them but their fans show up to soccer matches and tennis matches better than most. They show up in full force for both men's and women's basketball. It's all about the football product..... It's gotten better each year. Give them a winning product and the fans will show up.

But, then again.... Maybe your right. Drop Vandy and just keep playing weak non-conference games and we will remain on top?

Nobody is tailgating in the parking lot, thats the point. If you think they have a "true school" atmosphere there, then you haven't got a f'ing clue what a true school atmosphere is. Vandy is a bunch of arrogant pricks who think their academics are better than the rest of the conference, and its a bunch of BS. What they are is a private school with ridiculous tuition and shitty fans. You brag about their out of state enrollments, well its easy to see why the 2nd largest percentage of Vandy students comes from California, as they have so many wealthy people out there. No surprise. Its also no surprise that those rich snotty brats don't have a clue how to support their team, or anyone else aside from themselves.

They DO know how to vandalize automobiles... I've been to several different SEC campuses, and Vandy is the only one that I've had an automobile vandalized at. I guess rich kids don't really care about other peoples property though... their parents pay for everything for them.

Well, Tailgating actually takes place at Four places. By the Parthenon, The fraternity houses, by the Wendy's or in the big parking garage by the hospital.

You sound bitter about people having money and a good education, not their athletics. You still didn't answer how many times you have been to a Vandy game? As for the Vandals..... it doesn't also hurt that you are in a city and not a small college town as all the SEC schools are except UK and Vandy.

Vandy is an embarassment to SEC football. They don't give two sh**s about their football team. I have been to the Arkansas Vandy game, and I kept having to ask: OK, Can we go to the game now? No one wears Vandy colors, they all just wear their colorful spring ties and dresses. They simply do not care about football, probably because they feel they are too good for it like everything ese. Most of them are arrogant bitches who think they are amazing because they go to the Vanderbilt.I used to feel bad for Vandy, but after visiting, I hate them as much as any team in the SEC.

[BamaFanNKy]

Ahhhhh Inferiority complex is kickin' in with you two. Seems you two must of done something to piss a Vandy fan off. I've always found them very nice and great fans.

I guess I will enjoy my Vandy season tickets with those "arrogant alumni" who are out there screaming their heads off for a team that hasn't been to a bowl in over 2 decades (now closing on 3). You guys would not care about Arkansas or UGA if they went that long without a bowl. Seriously, the fact I saw D3 try to compare UGA academics with Vandy is laughable. But good to see you two can hate Vandy kids for being smart and having more on their mind than a football game. Truth is most college campuses in the SEC, their students don't attend the games. I also hope you never need a doctor in the south since so many come from there or Duke (Another smart kid school that sucks at football).

Duke isn't an SEC school dumbass... which was the whole point I made about Vandy belonging in a different conference. Nice to see that you completely got lost in the discussion though, as usual. Can't see how you would ever fit in at a Vandy gathering... you know, with them being so smart and you being so stupid and all.

[BamaFanNKy]

Again, you are showing your age and lack of experience. I was pointing out if you need a good doctor in the south they will most likely be Duke or Vandy grads. But, because you've been to one game at Vandy in your life and realize how weak your argument happens to be so you resort to name calling and making a throw away line in my argument the focus of your rebuttal.

So, back to the point. You want weaker non-conf games and a historical SEC school thrown out because they "Act smart and have money." I guess people are right about you, just an angry little man aren't you. Must still be upset that the s*** school beat your 2 years ago. Kill the SEC traditional schools and weaken the schedules, that'll always make a conference better!

What you are trying to do is shift the conversation, because you are on the losing end of a verbal ass whooping. Again, I haven't said a damned thing about how many med students they turn out. My whole point about Vandy is that they do not belong in the SEC because they do not embrace athletics like the rest of the conference. How many Vandy grads turn out to be doctors in the south means absolutely jack shit in regards to my argument. So since you have nothing to defend them with other than their med students... I would suggest you find an excuse not to post in this thread so you can bow out without actually admitting defeat.

[True Grit]

I swear everyday there is a new post every 12 hours about how good UGA will be. EVery year there is a team that is hyped...... but come on guys it's not like they are so good and there is everyone else. Plus their schedule is a beast and it's a lot of pressure to put that on them and have them play that schedule.

They may very well be the most talented, but in my humble opinion the road games and tough (venue specific) conference games will have them lose 1 or 2 games. The last time an SEC team went undefeated was Auburn in what 2003 and Tennessee in 1998. It is a 5 year cycle...... so Dawgs the trend helps.

amen...its almost as bad as florida fans with tebow. did you know he performed brain surgery on kids in haiti (or whatever country he goes to)?

You really are slow. You called Vandy people arrogant Jack asses. I was just pointing out that I hope you don't need medical attention since most of them are your doctors in the south. Keep up sparky. Your wanting to sack a whole school that is a historic part of the conference shows your lack of respect for tradition. Next thing you will want to cut the hedges down since they don't help UGA win. Your obviously showing that your a blowhard who only knows how to degrade people and fan bases. You know nothing about Vandy except your 1 trip to Vandy. Heck you rambled about your Red and Black 78 Nova getting vandalized (I just assumed the model).

Granted, you still are dodging the point of your argument because it's weak. You want to get rid of SEC traditional schools and weaken OOC scheduling so it will make the conference better? I've now mentioned this a third time and I am sure you will go to name calling instead of backing up the point of kicking a long standing school out our conf. and having weaker OOC scheduling for everyone. How does this make the SEC better?

waiting for another diversionary comment so he won't back up his dumb statement.

[lacene]

Vanderbilt is putting out solid SEC programs in mens and womens basketball, and now in baseball, which are 2 of the top 3 money-producing college sports. They are also embarking on a $60 million improvement plan for their athletic facilities, primarily the football stadium, which is currently being renovated:

Vanderbilt to spend $60 million on athletics improvements - Oak Ridge, TN - The Oak Ridger (http://www.oakridger.com/college/x401619691/Vanderbilt-to-spend-60-million-on-athletics-improvements)

Coach Johnson looks like he has brought some stability and discipline to the program....the last 3 seasons Vandy has averaged almost 5 wins per season, which is one win shy of being bowl-eligible, whereas the previous 10 years they won 25 games total, which is about half as successful. While getting Vandy bowl eligible in '08 will again be daunting, Vandy has at least been competitive as a member of the toughest conference in the nation....

[BamaFanNKy]

Hold your tongue Lacene. Them smart kids with money are a**holes. :D We need them out of the conference.

[Geaux 58 03 07]

I guess I will enjoy my Vandy season tickets with those "arrogant alumni" who are out there screaming their heads off for a team that hasn't been to a bowl in over 2 decades (now closing on 3). You guys would not care about Arkansas or UGA if they went that long without a bowl. Seriously, the fact I saw D3 try to compare UGA academics with Vandy is laughable. But good to see you two can hate Vandy kids for being smart and having more on their mind than a football game. Truth is most college campuses in the SEC, their students don't attend the games. I also hope you never need a doctor in the south since so many come from there or Duke (Another smart kid school that sucks at football).


Actually, I know a couple of people who got into Vandy but didn't get into Georgia. I never asked for them to be die hard fans, to come on boards and defend their teams. But they could atleast go to the game by half time, quit drinking their champagne in their bright ties (yes, i was given a bottle of champagne at the "tailgate"), or god forbid wear team colors to the game. And no, that is not at true at all. You are going to try and argue students don't go to the game? Yes, not all of them go because limited amount of student tickets, but every school I have visited for a football game, the ones who have tickets have gone..before..5:00 left in the second quarter..

Well, your friends must be odd. Considering Vandy is 19th in the nation academically compared to UGA who is 59th (Which is damn good I might add). As for the fans don't show up till late in ties and drink champagne..... your talking about fraternities. Their non-pledged students are there before kickoff and it's usually filled by three minutes in with the rest of the students. Also, many of the students sit with alumni and family. My section is filled with active college students and their alumni parents. It is a different dynamic. But to hate them because they don't wear gold ties (which majority seem to do, I don't know where you got that) and drink Miller High Life is just a sign of someone who is acting envious.

Also, FYI give their football team a break. It has to play in the toughest division in America and recruit on a higher academic standard. Their graduation rate is 93% at Vandy compared to UGA (43%) and Bama (39%).

They do fill 90% of their stadium for football. Top 36 school in baseball attendance, higher than UGA or Tennessee. 31st in basketball higher than Florida, LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia, Auburn and Ole Miss. In Women's basketball they average more than UGA, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, MSU, UF and USCe. So in reality they have better fan support since they show up where most bandwagon fans don't, secondary sports.

FYI, their one great sport baseball...... has a 100% grad rate. They are doing it the right way.

You can't put a number on where Vanderbilt and Georgia rank educationally because you'll get different ranks every book you go to. Yes, Vandy is a better school then Georgia, but to compare them is not "laughable". I am just going by what I witnessed. What I witnessed was a large group of people running around in non Vandy colors much more conerned about socializing than any game that might be going on. I actually remember watching Vandy Alabama last year. You should remember this: The stadium was about 60% red and white. Now I know its easy not to really care about football and be focused on baseball and basketball, but it was their first SEC game of the year. Bama wasnt anything amazing. And I don't know where you get filling 90%. I was at Arkansas Vandy and it was a winnable game for Vandy.. I definitely looked around and did not see 90% filled. I saw students who left in the middle of a close game, but 90% I did not see. I mean more power to them if they are great supports of basketball and baseball and graduate their players, but I am going by what I know I saw with my own two eyes.

Well 90% is the reported stats to the NCAA. I was at the Bama game and anytime Bama plays there they take over. Fact is, I wear Vandy colors when I go, except when they play Bama. When I was there (Actually there) You could see a ton of Vandy fans. Problem with watching Vandy on TV the visitor section is the one the camera is pointed at. But, I will say the Vandy fans there at the Bama game, 60-70% of the Vandy fans had taken a class at the University. The Bama fans 60-70% of them had never stepped foot in an academic building at Bama. I assume the game you went to was after they had lost 2 in row in 2006? That's when Arky came to town. It was a crap crowd that night, I do agree.

Also, U.S. News rankings are usually the ones most tout and the ones I used.

Difficult schedules are a must if you hope to get any respect. Playing a cupcake team is usually considered a game to allow the players to "rest" before a BIG game comes up. Maybe rehab some important injuries...Cupcake games have their value, too! :laugh:
