SEC coaches weigh in on Georgia

By now it's really old news, but since many of you had opinions about Mark Richt's decision on the excessive celebration, here's what a few SEC coaches had to say on the SEC teleconference Wednesday:

PHIL FULMER:
"It’s certainly unique and creative. In this day and age, motivating young people in a positive way is important. It certainly seemed to do the job for them. I think you have to give Mark some credit for at least being creative and unique''.

NICK SABAN: It’s great to see players show enthusiasm. They got penalized because it’s something you’re not allowed to do. I'm not going to criticize or judge a colleague. I don’t have any real feelings about it one way or the other. I always like to see people get excited about what they’re doing.''

BOBBY JOHNSON: I think it's pretty dangerous to tell you the truth. If a fight had broken out, I could see one boiling there pretty easily. That would be the biggest concern. If you want to celebrate, just don’t do it with the other team. It’s pretty inciteful.''

Would the SEC have punished Richt and "Georgie" if an all-out brawl had started?

Wow you Gators need to let it go, you got beat move on to the next loss.

Smart comments Coach Johnson, whether you meant them or not. You know that's its always a difficult trip to Gainesville given the way their fans treat other teams - it would have been almost unbearable and downright dangerous if you had echoed what Fulmer said.
