What was Barry Jackson referencing about some clown woman ending the event by (for chrissakes) chastising Richt over the effing definition of swag? This fanbase really needs a god**** purge sometimes.

Mark Richt’s first Hurricanes Club speaking appearance as UM's football coach ended in peculiar fashion on Monday night when a woman took issue with Richt’s interpretation of the words swagger or swag.

UM took questions from several fans in attendance at The Casino of Dania Beach, and Richt – when asked about swagger/swag earlier in the evening – told the audience: "Here's the deal with swag. I'll say this: If you want to dance, go to the club. I'm about moving somebody's butt on the other side of the ball. That's what swag is. Swag is not how you dress or how you dance or how you try to talk to somebody [on the other team], all that. That's a bunch of bull to me. Swag is doing your job, doing it well and whipping the guy across the ball.”

In the late stages of the event, the unidentified woman took the microphone intended for fans' questions and instead counseled Richt, gently admonishing him, about the history of swagger at UM, making clear she didn’t agree with his comment about dancing.

Richt, a cool customer, handled the situation well and the woman was not openly disrespectful.

[Quick aside: I agree with Richt on this. Show me how good you are; don't tell me. And the way the NCAA is trying to reel in showboating, there's little room for elaborate celebrations.]

That, and the Boise State comeback against (oklahoma?) with the statue of liberty play, are two most fun things I have seen in college football.

Florida had kinda gotten into the UGA player's and fans heads, and he decided to call them out.

After *that*, we were in their heads.

We (UGA fans) pretty much never sat down after that.

Bonus points as it was against Urban Cryer and Tebow...

and they were ranked #9 and UGA at #20

and to quote Coach Richt: "I said, as a matter of fact,
when we score our first touchdown, I expect you guys to celebrate
to the point where the official will throw a flag for excessive
celebration."

I think Coach Richt will do well at the U

My guess is that they ended the Q&A early because frankly, several of the questions were bizarre. The lady at the end was just icing on the cake. She said she wasnt an alum but was still a fan, and I think most of the audience thought she was crazy to lecture or educate Richt on swagger.

Most of the audience was as dopey as she is.
 
I attended the Orlando event last night. Great event and classy! Coach was very generous with his time taking photos before and after. When I got my pic with him I commented that Shula had fins wear white at day home games to put opponent in dark colors for a competitive edge, however, recent regime put us in dark colors, and asked for his thoughts on subject. He said he didn't want us in dark during hot home games...music to my ears. He added that they were going to look into. Some themes for unis too. He reiterated that aside from Stacy, we don't have speed at wr, but that we had guys that are big and don't necessarily need that speed, though he would like it to keep defense from sitting tight on them. Also reiterated beating opponents on fundamentals, not just trying to outsmart everyone as football when broken down is really simple. Great crowd and fans too.
