Apparently, Urban Meyer is still reeling about the UGA celebration penalty last October.
When asked about it (again) at the recent SEC medai days Richt said he did indeed tell his team to "celebrate so hard that the referees throw the flag". But he went on to explain: "in my mind, my little pea brain, 11 guys in the game score a touchdown, 11 guys jump up and down and celebrate...In hindsight, I asked the team to do an unsportsmanlike act...I shouldn't have done it. I won't do anything like that again."
From Meyer's book to be released in September:
"That wasn't right. It was a bad deal. It will forever be in the mind of Urban Meyer and in the mind of our football team. We'll handle it, and it's going to be a big deal."
(You want some cheese with that whine?) Is that a threat? Didn't he learn in kindergarten that two wrongs don't make a right? Does he think seeking revenge is not unsportsmanlike? What is he "asking" of his players when he makes a comment like that?
C'mon, Meyer (and Richt), don't turn the world's largest cocktail party and one of college footballs annual highlights into an ugly, mean-spirited, revenge-seeking, "I'll get you for that" brawl. Be the example and the school representative you expect your players to be.
