I hate to admit it. As a UNC fan who loves the simple Carolina Blue & white uniforms, I'm not much on alternates for them. I loathe the navy blue stuff they wear now. But I do like that helmet. Now let's see if I can take the rest of the ensemble.

Originally posted by HokieNot a flame, but is Richt the type of guy that gets his players hyped up before the game in the locker room? I just see these types of jerseys as a gimmick to get the players up. Personally, I wouldn't look at Frank Beamer either and think he is some type of master motivator.
After a 35-7 loss to Tennessee and a narrow victory against Vandy, we stormed the field against Florida and danced after first score. It gave us an edge and we won that game. Then the next week we pulled off a blackout and blew out Auburn. The game was crazy. Then for the bowl game against Hawaii, the Seniors asked if they could wear them. Since they wore them they were part of the bowl package and they got to keep the uniforms. We went on to blow out Hawaii 49-10.
Most UGA people thought they were a good luck charm. So in 2008, we pulled them out against Bama. The crowd was crazy but we came up short 41-30.
Most UGA fans at this point were thinking we had overused the black jerseys (three times in two years).
Well last year against Florida the seniors asked Richt if they could wear them. He agreed but if you look, most Georgia fans (myself included) did not like the jerseys that game.
But, in all 4 games, the Seniors were the ones that asked Richt for them. Not the other way aroundComment

you could also say the Alabama and Florida games were losses in red, black, or pink.
The main thing it creates is the atmosphere. If anyone has watched a home blackout game (not Florida game. that was stupid to do at a neutral site) then the atmosphere is crazy and the players and crowd is pumped.
The Alabama and Auburn games were two of the loudest games in Sanford history. The only time I can remember it being as loud is the 2004 LSU game.Comment

That is why we need coordinators that are fiery and can get us pumped.
Van Gorder was that, Willie Martinez was not. Grantham should be like that.Comment
