Mark Richt walks out of press conference following SEC Championship game [Video]

After Gerogia fell to Alabama in an absolute thriller of an SEC Championship Game, 32-28, a reporter asked the inevitable question to an obviously impassioned Mark Richt.

The fact that Richt coached his tail off and his players gave absolutely their all was obvious to anyone watching. However, this member of the sports media was still compelled to ask if Richt and his record-setting quarterback, Aaron Murray, choke in big games.

Losing a heartbreaker is never easy, and we as fans can all sympathise with Richt on this one.

Obviously, Richt felt the same way as he walked off the podium, only to return a few moments later to clarify exactly what the situation was.

It was a hard-fought game between college football heavyweights, but unfortunately for Dawgs Nation, their squad heads back to Athens, bested for the second consecutive season.

Unfortunately, it seems that sports journalists have taken the path of old “yellow” journalism (what scandalous comments/questions can they ask/bring out to ‘sell papers’)–it is sickening. I’m glad the coaches are standing up for their players.

If there was 30 seconds more left on the clock, there would have been a different outcome… Just saying!

That is what pisses me off about the media. Ga not only faced a tough team in Alabama, but the Refs only called 2 penalties against Bama when there were more. They over looked the calls and then to get to the press conference and ask stupid questions like that to Coach Richt is even more stupid. The reported is lucky Coach Richt is a christian or he would have gotten an eye full. I am also glad to see Ga coaches standing up for the players. Bama and the rest of the SEC better beware of Ga next season. they are coming out to prove they are the best in the country bar no team

Hats off to Coach Richt for speaking his mind about that particular question. Both teams fought long and hard. The question shouldn’t have been asked that close from the end of the game. The emotions were still there. I believe the reporter was trying to get a rise out of Richt, and he got it. Let’s see if this same reporter is there next year asking more dumb questions…

The media is disgusting, and they can ask some of the most ridiculous questions. I am a Bama fan, but Georgia has a great team, and I understand how Coach feels! They always ask Saban stupid questions! They want to stir up controversy. Georgia should be in a BCS BOWL GAME! But we know that everyone hates the SEC, and so they get left out. It’s a shame! I’m proud of Alabama and hope they get healthy enough to kick Notre Dame independent little men in the ground! ROLL TIDE, AND GO DAWGS!

The media are idiots. I get so angry listening to their stupid questions.I applaud Mark Richt for what he said … that was an awesome game. Could they have done something differently? Sure. But they played their butts off . Too bad they came up short.
