Good morning! We are down to double 1’s, number 11, 11 days to go! In my little corner of the world, that’s less than 2 weeks.
Damn those were some ugly-ass unis!
Go Dawgs!

Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
What’s the old saying? You look good, you play good. Those were abso-damn-lutely the ugliest uniforms ever worn by UGA football players. Who could play good dressed up as clowns? Whoever made that happen should have been run out of Athens on a rail. Still pisses me off to this day. 🤬
Don’t forget the infamous all blacks. Burn both and salt the ground after.
Agreed. Could barely watch that game (pictured). I was watching at a hunting and fishing club that 20+ of us built and remember bitching about those uniforms the whole game. It was sacrilegious to me. Going from the best looking uniforms in CFB to that? Hopefully someone did burn them.
2012 aside, those last five years under Richt were tough to watch sometimes.
There were some highs: the USC and LSU games in 2013, the back to back Mizzou and Arkansas games in 2014 but head scratchers intermingled.
The Boise State game was in hindsight when we should have all known that the best days under Richt were over. I was never a naysayer but it has worked out perfectly for us Georgia fans.
I’ve said this before the day I knew “it” was over under Richt was the 2012 SC game. There was just no reason for that team to go
Up there and get run out of the stadium the way they did.
I was there, thought the same thing. However, I knew it when we later played Georgia Southern (I think it was later) and nearly lost.
That was 2015.
2013 is very different without the injuries.
2014 could have been very different except for McGarity’s decision to suspend TG3II and Richt’s ill-timed decision to pooch kick.
2011 we won the east but blew the lead against Michigan State.
2015 was mediocre, and we still won a number of games.
1989-90 and 1993-96 were seasons that were really tough to watch.
Well I appreciate the blow by blow but I was here for all that. I hadn’t forgotten. If you enjoyed those seasons that’s cool but to me it was clear something was wrong in the program somewhere around 2009-2010. I still was hopeful Richt would get it figured out and as you said there were other good wins but when I became agnostic about Richt was that 2012 SC game. After that I hoped for the best but wasn’t real optimistic anything great would happen. The injuries in ‘13 were just amazing but we had absolutely no defense even before Knoxville claimed half the offense. Then Pruitt was hired which turned out to be a horrible idea. That was followed by hiring Brian Schottenheimer. I can like Richt and appreciate the good things he did and still recognize he let things slide to the point they couldn’t be fixed. His years of undersigning had a lot to do with it too as did his bizarre philosophy on linemen which seemed to be maybe we can sign a few big fellas here and there and they can get in the way long enough for our skill guys to do something. I’m glad Kirby is here and we are where we are. I feel no need to make qualifiers or excuses for Richt’s short comings in spite of liking him.
I’m with you there. That 2012 SC game was the first and last visit I will ever make to that shithole
You said “tough to watch” … I was trying to provide some context for what tough to watch really is. I didn’t mean it as a CMR defense. To each his own on that topic.
Late 80s and 90s Georgia football would have been ecstatic for what early 2010s Georgia football was.
Yeah I was here for 80s and 90s too. Is Rand by what I said.
Well said.
Well said
The best part of Kirby’s run: crybaby complaints about uniforms don’t even matter. The Dawgs could be in leather helmets and jockstraps and would still go out a hang haffa hunerd on some losers. I can’t even hear the real fans cry about uniform colors because I got them natty rings in my ears. If the dudes that run 4.4 40’s and blow suckers up don’t care about uniforms, neither do I
you gotta love how Kirby’s recruiting and management of the program exorcised many demons…we don’t clamor for black jerseys to give us an edge over an opponent anymore…oh, and fuck Bama btw…it’s been 16 years and I still hold a grudge
Some haunting years indeed. Not to mention for a lot of those years we had Rotney Garner as our recruiting coordinator. Just never thought he did a great job with evaluating. He would have never recruited a kid like McConkey. He did get some big recruits but we always seemed to be out recruited.
We were all about skill players, but recruiting linemen (both sides) didn’t seem to be a priority for Richt. Kirby wants the Top 5 in the nation at every position. This seems to be a better plan.
I might have liked those uniforms if we didn’t drop a turd that day.
