Somehow I missed this from the World's Largest Cocktail Party this weekend. And as somebody who during my brief coaching career loved the psychology of coaching and motivation, I LOVE seeing this. It takes balls by a coach to admit that you planned this and know that a fine is coming, but it worked. Georgia took Florida to the woodshed, and obviously while performance on the field ultimately determines games, I'm convinced that tricks like this that give psychological edges are of critical importance. I wish the Terps had something to celebrate like this. Maybe against UNC if Chris Cosh can actually develop a scheme to force a three-and-out, we'll see the same sort of thing.

The clip didn't show Urban's reaction, which was priceless. I don't know that UGA took Florida to the woodshed, but they did finally win the freaking game.
Of course, you must know by now that Richt says he did not mean for the whole team to run out. He just wanted the players on the field to draw the flag. Personally, I think it's much better with the whole team, so I'm glad they did it that way.
I only wonder how this will spiral down to copy-cat mode and one upsmanship among coaches, kind of like it was with Joe Horn, T.O. and Ocho Cinco on TD celebrations.
I hope Michigan moons Ohio State before kickoff Nov. 19 like in Braveheart.
I fucking love it. You know why I fucking love it? Because Richt had to take the whole team aside (and looking at the OL after the score, he was waiting for the WHOLE team) at some point in the week leading up to the game and say "We're going to score first, and when we do, all you fuckers go dance." Implicitly, he told his special teams "I don't care if they're catching the kickoff at the 15, you can shut these motherfuckers down."
You send me that message, and I'll be Superman. It's a 45-man message, and a great way to end road woes.
Sadly, it reminds me of Brian Billick in the 2000 division round on the road against the TennTits, (paraphrasing) "You can't tippy-toe into the lion's den. You have to carry a spear and kick the door down and yell 'Where is that motherfucker?!?!'"
Isn't that what Richt said, except with more finesse?
