BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Georgia coach Mark Richt just finished addressing the media, and among the highlights, he apologized for the way the Bulldogs' celebration after the first touchdown against Florida last season went down.

He said he was "in shock" when he saw his whole team out there and added, "In hindsight, I shouldn't have done it and won't do anything like that again." Richt said he called Florida coach Urban Meyer that Sunday to apologize.

I'll have more on celebration-gate later on, so check back. The bottom line is that Richt got results. The Bulldogs' season changed on that touchdown and ensuing dance party in the Gators' end zone ... even if it was unsportsmanlike.
