Coaching reunion to be a Sugary-sweet one
Mark Richt learned nearly everything he knows about coaching from Bobby Bowden. Now, the student will try to use those lessons against his teacher. The Sugar Bowl announced Dec. 8 that fourth-ranked Georgia (12-1) will meet No. 18 Florida State (9-4) in the New Year's Day game at New Orleans.
Richt left after the 2000 season to take the head coaching job at Georgia. He didn't waste any time getting the Bulldogs back to the top of the SEC. "When an assistant coach becomes a head coach, you don't know how they're going to work out," Bowden said. "I can't believe what he's done in just two years." As for his own team, Bowden sounded a bit embarrassed that the Seminoles qualified for the BCS. No other team in a major bowl has more than two losses. "It's not fair for Georgia to come in there, and we have those four losses," Bowden said. "I just hope we can make a good showing."

Sugar rush
Mark Richt learned nearly everything he knows about coaching from Bobby Bowden. Now, the student will try to use those lessons against his teacher. The Nokia Sugar Bowl announced Dec. 8 that fourth-ranked Georgia (12-1) will meet No. 18 Florida State (9-4) in the New Year's Day game at New Orleans. The most intriguing matchup will be on the sideline. Richt spent 14 years working as a Bowden assistant at Florida State, calling plays in some of the school's most glorious seasons. "I spent a lot of my life there," Richt said. "My mentor was Bobby Bowden. Just about everything I learned about coaching, handling players and people in general, I learned from him and learned from being at Florida State."
