Mark Richt

Despite our murder to UGA, and his strange comparison to Helen Hunt, I love this guy. What a ballsy call when the whole team came out after their 1st TD.

Some people didn't like it at all, but it could have very well been the reason they won. It fired everybody up.

The young blood that we need in Knox. I like the dude.

I have all the respect in the world for Mark Richt, way to go beating UF

Watch out for Georgia next year as their young line matures.

I thought he had lost 3 of the last 4 against Phat Phil. I don't think I want a coach with that recent record against Donut Boy.

I loved that Richt chewed his team out for celebrating a win against Vanderbilt, but encouraged them to celebrate a TD in virtually the same manner against Florida. I'm sure someone posted it, but I had wondered if Richt would have had the same reaction he had in Nashville if his team was doing the same thing in Knoxville, Auburn, or even Jacksonville.

I doubt it.

I like Richt. But encouraging your players to be unsportsmanlike...don't like it.

I think they were emotional enough without artificially pumping themselves up more, at the risk of motivating Florida.

I think it did motivate Florida..but they still lost. Tebow's shoulder or whatever was only part of the story; the Gaytors just didn't have it today.

It was a freakin BRILLIANT move by Richt. UF was forced to FAKE being fired up and looked ridiculous doing it. UF came back and scored the next drive but you know what? UF didnt keep that momentum while UGA had it throughout the entire game.

IT WORKED

I thought it a bit hypocritical as well. "Don't be classless unless I give the ok, ok?"

I like Richt...he's good for the SEC..hopefully he'll stick around awhile.

That's exactly what it was. I give credit to Richt for getting his team fired up, but this is the guy who said on the field after the Vandy game "We don't do that stuff here."

Honestly, I don't think he ever intended for the entire team to run onto the field.

Jaytrain5 · 10-30-2007, 12:56 PM

The team was directed to run out onto the field and get an usportsmanlike conduct penalty.

If it had turned into a bench-clearing brawl, would Richt be a genius? Would he be suspended? Possibly even fired?

He's lucky it didn't get ugly.

I think he was partly acknowledging he made a mistake chewing his team for celebrating a win against Vandy. He was trying to get the enthusiasm back for his team. I think it worked.
