Why A Kid From North Carolina (Christian Lemay) Committing To The Georgia Bulldogs Is Good News For Florida State

But the kid is 6’2" perhaps 6’2 1/2" and his future is NOT in basketball. I just hope he’s smart enough to realize that.

Most Clemson fans will tell you that Boyd is behind where the coaches were hoping he would be.

Not surprising. With the way that family handled the recruiting game, Boyd’s work ethic was always going to be a question mark.

And “what we’ve been in” does not mean the situation will be just that for years to come. Sure we will have to compete with Miami and floriduh for recruits, but FSU has proven, especially this past year, they are VERY capable of landing the top talent in the state of FL.

He would be a top dog in LA, but the talent he is pulling in the state of FL is equal, if not better, so that would not necessarily be a big improvement.

As for the money, sure it would help, but I think Fisher can help pull in enough cash for this program to be a national title contender year in year out. Getting more money in the SEC would help his cause of course, but there are a lot more roadblocks in his way of winning a national title which i believe is his goal.

Is it a hard stretch to see him going to LSU? Yes!

Steve, your team does not play tougher teams. I already gave you the proof of last year (FSU 5th UGA 18th). FSU played a tougher schedule in 2008 as well (though we were damn close. You were 14 while we were #12). In 2007 when you had your big year, you played the 34th toughest schedule while FSU played the 12th.

In the last 10 years Georgia has had its best run ever and has not even played for a national championship. UGA won what, a single conference championship?

Who has more recently won a national championship? FSU. In fact, the ’Noles have won two since Georgia won theirs.

You’re simply incorrect about the scheduling. Perhaps we would win more games if we played UGA’s schedule?

But he covers a lot of non-Bama territory.

My first thought, “Jim Collins knowledge, on the rocks, be@tch”

In 2009 FSU played the 5th toughest schedule while UGA played the 19th.
In 2008 it was close with FSU playing the 12th and UGA the 14th.

FSU fans definitely do not want Mark Richt.

UGA is not getting Marshall, Rome, or Drew.

Crowell is not a SoGa kid.

Are you satisfied with 8-9 win seasons? Or is he on the hot seat? You seem to be arguing both sides as well.

UGA supporters are the biggest rah rah SEC “Fans” out there. I find it repulsive that fans can hate UFAG (UF for the unitiated) or any rival for 12 games per year and then root like hell for them to win it all when UGA hasn’t played for a NC since Reagan’s first term and before the guy who runs this site was even born. That cannot be disputed, I have a good friend who’s an Atlanta native and UGA fan who pulls the same shit. I routinely have to hit him over the head ‘Homey the clown style’ with facts whenever he tries to pull that BS.

As far as Lemay is concerned, we were never a serious consideration for him. So please stop inferring that we have sour grapes, we are not Cane fans. You obviously haven’t a clue of being able to recognize when dominos fall and chess is being played because Big boy football is never something to be viewed superfically. Your comments reek of naivete. Nick Marshall is a kid that we’ve wanted all along due to his physical upside. We would have taken Lemay but would be more than happy if we get Marshall. Lemay’s commitment makes that more possible. We’d rather see Christian go to UGA as opposed to UF or Clemson. Two chief rivals that we play every year.

You can keep Richt, him remaining in Athens is a part of FSU’s plan to ascend back to national prominence. In parting: Take this back to hedges with you. Learn to hate your enemies (Not cheer for them to win what you cannot). And please……follow the dominoes!

His rhetoric is no different than most of what you’ll find on the Georgia boards:
- they love Mark Richt….because he’s a good man to rep their school, he’s a good coach in their minds.
- they are very content with 8-9 win seasons, as long as they finish or begin the season in the top 10 every once in a blue moon.
- they have no serious aspirations to reach Bama or UF’s level
- they don’t miss what they haven’t had…at least in recent memory.
- when any FSU fan points out that Richt is mediocre, they assume that’s sour grapes, and the Nole nation would love to TWOCOAT back. (for you youngsters, its what a large percentage of Noles were calling Captain Predictable by the mid-late 90’s- The Worst Offensive Coordinator of All Time. While many of us were thrilled he went to UGA so we could get a smarter OC, we got Bobby’s idiot son instead, and he quickly assumed the title).

I feel sorry for my son- He’s a leader in the UGA marching band (Redcoats), and all gets to experience is Richt’s underachievement.

I feel good for my alma mater, since fans like Georgia_banker will see to it that Richt stays put. By the time they figure what FSU has done while they’ve been sleeping, it will be too late to do anything about it.

btw, expect more impassioned Mensa candidates form the Dawg fan base to come over and talk about the Lost Decade, the ACC and anything else that deflects attention and allows them to maintain their fantasy about Richt..

Nobody that understands football would trade Fisher for Richt as a head coach. Georgia also did not play a tougher schedule than FSU. This propaganda is drilled into SEC fans that they play a tougher schedule than anybody else but it does nto stand up to any rating of schedule anywhere.

What has Jimbo won as a HC???!?!?!?!

and nice guy Mark Richt is not on that list.

The first day I head he had hired Fredo my first thought was it is time to get rid of Bowden, he has lost it.

Perhaps they should take Bama out from between their legs in Atlanta.

Tennessee, Kentucky, and Vandy are unlikely to make bowl games. UGA avoids LSU and Bama. They get Arkansas at home. UGA is primed for a “turnaround” year which hopefully keeps Richt there for a few more seasons.

No, it was not an issue of what we owed Fisher. It was an issue with big boosters finally being embarrassed enough in front of their friends by the team’s play and Bowden’s ridiculous behavior. “Troy” “Central Florida” “that’s like a woman”, etc.
