The terms of the contract are that if he does not become head coach he gets a large sum of money. And FSU is not really hard up for cash, so if Richt comes a knocking, well, Jimbo has a nice pay day.

It's clear from your comments on this thread that you haven't really watched any UGA football this year, nor any other teams. Georgia's SOS was 21st and LSU was 26th, not much of difference when we played 5 common opponents this year (Bama, Auburn, UT, Florida and Kentucky). And to argue that LSU was voted up because of Katrina sympathy is ridiculous and an embarassment. Furthermore, it's not a foregone conclusion that we will "kill" Hawaii, despite their SOS of 118 our 119 (damn). We're gonna have to cover the hell out of their WRs. Anyone who says a "killing" is destined to happen doesn't remember Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl last year or hm, wasn't Georgia a 14 point favorite in this year's UT game? Be happy that we're going to the Sugar (without winning the SECCG) and not the Chik-fil-a Bowl. liberator,

A bigger problem now for UGA is keeping the players "up" for playing the team no-one wants to play, Hawaii. Generally, when teams complain about their bowl pick, they end up losing the game. Let's hope Richt has at least one more motivational trick up his sleeve this season.

Never blame the poll voters for not getting in the BCS Title Game. If you are a good team you wouldn't have lost to a shite team. You "deserve to go" anywhere by winning. Not because of other teams, not because of how you are now as a team, but if you win week in week out (yes, you beat two unranked teams, one lucky to be ranked, and one decent team.

Stop bitching, focus on next year. 28 years is a long time. This makes good copy to hear about UGA fans not making a championship and whining so keep it up, you only dig your grave deeper. And I wouldn't be so confident about UGA destroying Hawai'i. Boise State and Utah defeated teams that are much better than this year's UGA squad, proving Mid-Majors are not just walk overs. Keep making up wonderful fantasy examples about who UGA could and couldn't defeat if it makes 27, soon to be 28 years less painful. No argument for UGA playing in the big time stands up to objective scrutiny. liberator &c.:
