All of you out there probably know I am a Georgia fan and not only that, I am a Georgia fan that loves to win. It has been a pretty good last couple of years. In this Richt decade ('01-'10), Georgia has been ranked number one, won the SEC Championship twice, won seven bowl games(and only lost two), won two BCS bowl games, 16-11 versus the big three rivalries(Florida, Auburn, and Georgia Tech), and almost every year has been in the top ten in recruiting. Yes, the list goes on and on, but the only thing us Georgia fans are looking at right now, and let me tell you, it is BLARING right in my eyes, is the 1-4 record, 0-3 in the SEC and the embarrassing loss to a terrible Big 12 team that is about to be a PAC 10 team. So you are probably asking this Georgia fan who always likes to win, why do you still want to keep Richt??
Well I say to you, this man is a great man. He does know how to win, he is just in a black hole right now. If one fumble here, one bad call there, one player playing in the first four games, and this team gets one of those SEC wins and they have confidence again. It's a young team that goes into a stadium expecting to lose and surprised if it wins. I know what it's like to be in a black hole of losing and it's not fun, but I also know what it's like to come out of the hole and you need a leader like Richt to do it. I want him to stay. I don't want another Bobby Bowden(and I know Richt doesn't compare to Bowden) fiasco where Richt leaves a beloved school and doesn't want to come back because of how he was asked to leave. I want a great man like Richt to get one more year, see how the recruits and confidence can change next season and see how Richt can lead a pretty down team this year. If Richt does make some strides and the team gains confidence, it could be an amazing run(and the run must last into next year)!
OK, on to the picks. It's a big week of games and I am so excited, as always! Even more excited because I am going to my first ever Notre Dame football game! My record was 11-4 last week, not too shabby!

I love your blog! Pretty much dedicated to college football, just awesome, haha. I agree with giving him another year. He has done so much there for them to so quickly give him the boot! Lets hope their season gets better and they get a boost of confidence. (I'm pretty sure they can take care of Tenn). Nice picks for the weekend. You should join my College Pick'em next season! Take care and Aloha!
