30 TO 3! I thought we would win, but I never dreamed it would be a total shellacking like this. We sent a messege to college football today. SamuraiTater, you guys have a good football team. You just got beat by a team on a mission.

How 'bout them Dawgs'?!?!?!?!?

Congrats Dawgs on the destruction....I mean win over Clempscum!!!!!!!!

88, I think you gave us a bit too much credit. We didn't even score 3 against ya'll. :frown:

After all the talk about a revamped O-line with a mean streak, Tommy Bowden had most of us believing our team was on a mission. I'm thinking they must be on a Mormon kind of mission, 'cause they damn sure didn't show up today. :mad:

Congratulations to the Dawgs. You certainly have the better team. After last year's result and the personnel changes both teams have gone through since then, I know I expected Georgia to struggle to beat us. Apparently Georgia knows how to win, where we are still wet behind the ears. Until Tommy Bowden manages to knock the big boys off a time or two, we'll probably be destined to be mediocre at best. :frown:

:bang: :bang: :bang:

You should have though. I think y'all went for touchdowns at times, when you might should have taken the 3 points. Anyways, thanks OGC. And Tater, I'll be pulling for y'all the rest of the way. I hate to see what's happened to Tommy.

Samurai, I'll be honest in saying that I never expected UGa to dominate the way that we did. I expected this game to be fairly close, and maybe turning into an overtime affair. I do think that Clemson might have been robbed of a touchdown or two thanks to the officiating (which Tommy Bowden had a right to be upset at), but it did seem like that Clemson was going for the tds late in the game, whereas UGa just wanted to score period. One thing I did notice though is that the Dawgs drove hard to get the first td of the game. It was apparent that the team wanted to set the tone for the game quickly. Clemson seemed content to let UGa score the first td, and then tried to answer later on. The keys for Clemson winning these types of games are to score big early and keep the pressure on through out the game. It took awhile for UGa to learn how to do that, but we finally learned. Although this is Mark Richt's team, I really think the Dawgs started learning how to win under Jim Donnan. It was said prior to a Georgia-Mississippi State game, Donnan took a steam roller and rolled right over a can, and told the team, "This is what we will do to Mississippi State." And that's exactly what happened. Richt did not change this philosophy at all, and even enhanced it some, using some FSU strategy.


As much as I hate to give advice to the rival ( ), Clemson will have to do the following things to build a winning program:

1. Get a recruiter who can deliver the best in-state prospects.
2. Get a veteran coach or an assistant who knows how to win.
3. Recruits big, fast rbs, and big, fast lbs.
4. Build big and intimidating offensive and defensive lines.
5. Get good receivers and good qbs.

Clemson has #5, maybe #2. The rest they need to work on, IMO. Anyway, good game Samurai. Let's hope the NCAA makes the 12 game schedule permanent so we can see more of these games.
