In all the uproar over the pre-game taunting, I haven't seen any comment on the slew of personal fouls.

There were at least three late hits (two on Henry), a facemask on a punt return on a player other than the returner, i.e., it wasn't while trying to make a tackle, and a couple of others.

I thought this showed a loss of poise. Then, as it continued, I thought it was another brick in the wall of a case that Mark Richt has neither control over nor respect of his players.

He wins as much as he does because he's a good recruiter. He'll never be championship-caliber because he doesn't enforce a focused, disciplined approach. It's why his teams really struggle with responding to adversity.

Rather than bow up, they fold up.

Jeremy Pruitt talked about that after the game... You should check out his interview... he sounds just like CNS... In my opinion, Defense maturity isn't there.

Richt isn't that great of a recruiter. He's in a state loaded with talent and benefits from it.

The pattern that I see is that Richt and coaches like him do not do a good job at preparing their players for quality competition. It's the same thing that keeps teams like Ole Miss and State and Georgia from ever really putting a complete season together. They play gimmicky, meaning, they don't always try to just line up and beat you at your own game. They feel they have to get their emotions up by somehow trying to get in the other teams head...or possibly get their own emotions up high enough that they believe they can beat you. 2008 it was black jerseys. Saturday, it was a pre-game jumping/taunting match as Bama was coming on the field. For ole miss it was yesteryears baby-blue helmet (I know they beat us but it was more our fault and bad luck than anything else). It's like they don't emphasize the mental toughness and discipline and outworking the opponent that it takes to win week in and week out. It's like telling a player that he has to go out there and play mean or angry. Well, if that is not channeled correctly, that becomes playing dirty. And when the gimmicks and the anger and the taunting doesn't work, players get frustrated and lose what focus they had in the beginning. It's a "short-cut" method of trying to have success and while it might work occasionally, you cannot maintain success in those ways. That's just the way I see it.

I'm thankful we have coaches that prepare our guys to outwork our opponents and beat them on the field.

There was also the incident involving Jordan Jenkins body-slamming Kenyan Drake in the fourth qtr and then his little taunting dance afterwards. There was no foul called, but it was just par for the course considering the group of thugs we were playing.

yep, i don't know how that one didn't get flagged. also, another one of the georgia players (#6 maybe) was doing a taunting head bob sort of dance after that too.

it sort of reminded me of that game against arky where some guy was giving jpw lip late in the game, and jpw just pointed at the score board and smiled.

Direct reflection of the lack of discipline and control the staff and administration have over the players. CMR is a good person away from the field but he has no idea how to mange and maximize production from the talent he has each and every year. The talent pool in Georgia is THE ONLY thing that's made him successful at UGA.

I'm glad none of our players were hurt by thUGA's loss of control, and I'm thankful their lack of self discipline helped Bama stomp them into the mud hole.
 
Sometimes the antics work for UGA. I remember the celebration penalty they got against Florida a few years back and they beat UF down that game. Everyone is talking about lack of discipline and blah, blah, blah. I don't get it at all.

There was no way Bama was going to lose Saturday. The team was just better. It didn't hurt that UGAs players got a small fire going for Bama, but either way it was going to be a loooong day for them.

During the Pre-game show, either Gary or Verne said that only Florida (the state) put more players in the NFL last year than Georgia. I was really surprised by that, and it helps me to understand why Saban loves those games in the Dome.
