Big Hairy Blawg

Thought we should go in a little bit of a different direction at mid-week of the GEORGIA-Carolina game buildup. Quick trivia: Name the school that produced the SEC’s all-time leading Rusher, Receiver and Quarterback. woof, woof and woof.

While the blogosphere is crawling with us crying about our remarkably poor offensive showing in Stillwater, and the Dawgs-Cocks series has seen both teams total an average of 22 points per game in recent history, I say we look forward by looking back. Please realize that UGA always, always, always has playmakers at the skill positions. It is simply a matter of them being in a position to succeed and doing so. The talent exists on this and EVERY recent UGA offensive roster to point-blank dominate the best league in football. Skill positions are the historic strength of our program. With a solid D and solid blocking finally in place, we can and will turn this around. I predict our normal 10 wins, again.

You do not see Tim Tebow, Steve Spurrier, Peyton Manning, Bo Jackson, George Rogers, Shaun Alexander, Josh Reed, Craig Yeast or Kenny McKinley on the following list of SEC record-holders because they never wore RED and Black:

Herschel Walker  5,259 yards

Terrence Edwards 3,093 yards

David Greene 11,528 yards (He also has the most wins in NCAA history)

Let’s all give Joe Cox the benefit of the doubt for now. Have you ever even tried to go for a jog or shoot hoops while recovering from the flu? Nearly impossible. If he can’t get it done, Richt will find a way to win without him as starter. I have a feeling he will get it done.

Big difference between this and other recent Carolina games: We have a loss and are wide awake.

My prediction: DAWGS by two touchdowns.
