08:17 AM ET 09.16 | This did not seem to be an unconvincing vote of confidence. UGA President Dr. Michael Adams on Thursday called for Georgia football fans to unite in support of the team. His comments came during the fall semester meeting of the UGA Cabinet when asked to assess the job being done by 11th-year head coach Mark Richt. ... "The issue for me right now is I think this is the time for all of us to come together and get behind this group of guys who played a heck of a game last Saturday and deserve our support. I've never folded on anything 15 or 20 percent into it, and that's what we would be doing. I'd love to see the stadium full Saturday for probably what will not be the most high-profile opponent we'll play this year."

Isn't this the same thing we were told last year?

Wow I would love to see the stadium full...the fans say we would love to see the team actually play a full game!

Yep, even if he does well for a year or two.

I think those poodles should give him another extension. He's such a great man.

I agree w/ the Prez though.... You have to support the team... Even if you think its the time the Coach should go.... Recruits see this.... UGA has only 2 recruits of the GA Top 12/15... I think BAMA has 3

Great W last nite LUS...was really impressed with Beckham ....future looks bright

'Sup dude? What's your take on that performance last night?

Usually that means the coach is fired in three weeks.

Wait. "This did not seem to be an unconvincing vote of confidence." Should this read "did not seem to be a convincing" or "seemed to be an unconvincing"? Because I just read that Richt will not likely be fired during the season. The comment hardly seems to be a convincing vote of confidence which I suspect is implied by the "does not seem... unconvincing" sentence above.

Hows it going Bro..The O is to vanilla and predictable right now.... Lee did play well.... They basically just lining up in the power I and saying try to stop it... We need some sprinkles, I am sure/hope that will come as they gain more confidence in Lee... Also 2 True Frsh WR playing a lot/starting....Our D will keep us in all the games...Think we relying on them too much though.. But heck, I am just a armchair QB.... I am happy with the win..Thought we would score more..settled for too many FGs..

I couldn't believe when I saw that Lee has the LUS record for completions (or attemps) with out a int. He looked much improved, but MSU missed a few chances on him.

That D is stout but 11/5 will be a test. I think your boys will have to have a better game that night.

He still throws off his back foot... IMO they need to get Mett a few series in these games.... He has the better skill set.. And just in case Lee gets leveled...11/5 is going to be a defensive war... I dont think BAMAs O is any better than ours... I would HOPE the play calling develops in the next few weeks..Arky is the one team that can out up points... And I believe their D is getting better...Aubie can score too though

Yeah, I didn't mean 11/5 would be a test for you D, just a test. I see Bama as a more talented version of MSU in a way, and I'm sure that was a tighter game last night that you would have liked. If last night was 11/5, that's an L.

every time they threw that little quick pass to the outside receiver they got 5-6 yards, evrytime they needed 3-4 yards on 3rd down, they ran up the middle....
