Looking optimistically at the statistics, like we always do this time of year. We are a very good football program that wants to be great. We have a ton of talent and heart and try, and we have been real close. We won the SEC with Richt at the helm twice. We were #3 once, #2 once. But other than those four real accomplishments – which were scattered across three remarkable seasons, of the eight Mark has been at the helm – we have always remained good.
AND:
UGA is 3-0 versus Okie State all-time.
Combined team scoring averages of 27 in Georgia-Carolina rivalry is low. So is number of Lamecock wins. Richt has dropped only two to them.
Arkansas: Georgia’s least faced foe in the SEC, from the SouthWest Conference, right into your living room. Arkansas can beat people, when they are at home. UGA 30-4 on opponents home fields. DAWGS hold 8-3 edge in series history.
Zona State is from the Pac-10, Brah, and we are 9-4-1 lifetime versus current Pac-10 members.
Dawgs have won six-of-eight against the LSU Bayou Bengals.
At UT, Neyland. Dawgs have slight recent history edge; however, very recent history favors the Vols slightly. We won last year and need another road win at Neyland, under Richt. Richt is the Road Warrior (for Christ). They once owned us for eleven years (nine straight Vol wins before Donnan broke through).
Dawgs have won 13 of 14 versus Vandy.
Dawgs have won 2 of 5 versus Gators and can even recent series (6 games) with win. We hold overall win record…and have dropped 16 of 19 to them!
Played Tenn Tech once before. Dawgs edged ‘em, 67-0.
Dawgs have won three in a row versus our sister school, Auburn, in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, first played in Piedmont Park in Atlanta.
Dawgs have won 16 of 18 versus Wildcats, but the Big Blue has shown signs of growth with recent bowl wins. To us: they must remain a basketball only school.
Dawgs have won seven-of-eight versus the North Avenue Trade School. Tech beat us last year 45-42 in a classic game that will go down as one of the great wins in Georgia Tech lore, which is substantial. We win with substance this year.
Dawgs are 2-1 in SEC Title game.
Richt is 6-2 in bowl games.

We score twice.
Try our young talent, then put the backups in.
Samuel beat King for number 2 and Cox is already in; good to see Cox in.
Samuel fumbles.
We STOP them; Ellerbe with a pick.
We go and score as Kris Durham takes it to the house.
SEC CHAMPS REAL SOON!!!
3 innings from the title…
Now: 12-4, bases loaded, THIS IS SWEET…

OH TECH, HOW I HATE THEE. WHAT IS THAT YOU SAY? NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS YOU HATE ME, US, WE. THAT IS GOOD. TO HATE REMINDS ME OF THE GATORS. LOSING SUX. WE DON’T LOSE TO YOU IN FOOTBALL, AND BASKETBALL IS 50/50. YOU ARE A BASKETBALL SCHOOL. BASEBALL IS ANOTHER CLOSE SERIES. IT CAN GO EITHER WAY, AND WE PLAY TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY IN ATL). I HOPE WE WIN, BUT WE WILL MEET AGAIN REGARDLESS. MY BOY, COACH ELLER, WILL HAVE US READY. PERNO WILL HAVE US READY. I PREDICT WE TAKE THE SEASON SERIES, CONSTITUTING A SWEEP OF THE 3 MAJOR MEN’S SPORTS. BUT LET ME REITERATE SOMETHING: FOOTBALL IS WHAT MATTERS MOST AND IT IS NOT A CLOSE SERIES. WE OWN YOUR ASSES IN FOOTBALL AND JUST CAN’T BE BOTHERED TO WORRY ABOUT YOU FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR OR TWO PER YEAR. YOU: WRITE CATCHY SONGS ABOUT TO HELL WITH US, HAVE FLAGS ABOUT TO HELL WITH US, STENCIL “BEAT GEORGIA” IN A QUEER SHADE OF YELLOW ON YOUR PRACTICE FIELD BARRICADES. REPEAT AFTER ME LIL YELLA JACK-OFFS: GEORGIA OWNS MY ASS. WIN OR LOSE TOMORROW – AND YOU ARE #10 IN THE COUNTRY AND WE LOST TODAY LOOKING AHEAD TO YOU AND GLOATING ABOUT SWEEPING CAROLINA - YOU ALWAYS LOOK EAST WHEN YOU WANT TO SEE THE REAL DEAL. IF YOU ARE ATLANTA’S TEAM, AS YOUR SOCIALLY RETARDED FANS LIKE TO CLAIM, WHY IS YOUR FANBASE SO LAME? IS IT PERHAPS BECAUSE IN THIS STATE UGA IS THE GAME?

What would it hurt for there to be a real game in the spring? Have your big spring game a week or two earlier if you feel the need. Then a week later: Georgia vs. Michigan; Nebraska vs. LSU; Ohio St. vs. UCLA. No records, no polls, no mythical championships, no extension of spring practice. Just a game. Even a scrimmage. Spring games are full contact except for QBs anyway – that could still be the case – and football players take injury risk every single day they practice. A scrimmage of the magnitude of those I mentioned would sell out, be great TV and generate fan interest. I think the players, especially those with very little experience, would benefit from the experience. I would really and truly in my fantasy world like to see a three game spring season, which would generate huge revenue and interest and, of course, be a strain on players due to travel, injury, etc. But can you imagine how awesome it would be to see UGA play at Michigan and then have UCF and Oregon come to Sanford this spring? Fantastic, and a single scrimmage game would be much more doable, of course, but this is fantasy football.
How ‘Bout Them Dawgs. We went undefeated yesterday. G-Day was a nice event with the exception of Vince Vance going down late. We looked sharp. I wrote a whole page summation of the play-by-play, so click on that under “pages” if you have not yet. The weather was awful Friday and bad early Saturday, but it blew off in time for the UGA Baseball team to take a double-header from the Carolina Lamecocks, moving into first place in the SEC East. Baseball matters. This is America. UGA Baseball (19-10, 8-3 SEC) will play again today at Foley Field against that same scrappy Carolina team that is a traditional SEC East power. GO DAWGS!!! Who among you knew that UGA won the Tennis Nat’l Championship last year. Raise you hands…Not your hand, I said “your hands,” both of them, listen to the Coach next time or you will run laps. They also went undefeated which is like, you know, pretty good. Can we match that feat in FOOTBALL SEASON? We play the hardest schedule in school history…and may have the best team.

See y’all,
Hanish “HAN” Vance
And then theHan went on the road. They loaded the trailer – the one I stained – with hard wood flooring and floored it. And I have rarely, very rarely, been to the Middle. The middle of America. Land-locked states and miles and miles of middle of nowhere. Never as an adult have I driven or been driven all the way out of the Southeast – I fly. But we shall ascend and go westward, a father with his special lady friend and his son. His son helping to settle Dad at Indian Oaks Farm in Theodosia. Ranch hands we aint but we will get that house in order. And we will get in that fresh air and clean and purify our lives, our relationship as father and son. Then it’s off to Branson for excitement. Branson here we come. That’ll be a neat look around – for you. We will poke around Arkansas too. And then back to the farm; back to work for us before saddling up to visit The King. That’s right. We goin’ to see The King. Memphis, TN: Elvis, BBQ at Rendezvous, the Pyramid, the place where you bastards shot MLK Jr, the mighty, Mighty River. That’ll be a neat look around – for you. Then back to the Rhetta, with a new perspective just in time to hit Athens, GA for the G-Day Game. And if Athens aint the middle of nowhere, I don’t know what is. Love ya. See ya soon. Thank you…thank you very much.
