The Sound and The Fury of SEC Football
We beat the rebellious Ole William Faulkners up pretty good despite some creative Houston Nutt trickeration-desperation and the worst kicking game of Blair Walsh’s mostly enchanted life. Glory to Ol’ Georgia. Much older than Ole Miss, by the way. Nice scene at Oxford: famously fine Southern women, the fun Hotty Toddy cheer, the gorgeousness of […]
SEC East Race
Though the Dawgs dropped a conference opening 45-42 heartbreaker to defending SEC East winner S. Carolina, UGA still has valid divisional hopes. Georgia does not face the currently ranked and undefeated SEC West teams: LSU, BAMA, Arkansas this regular season. Tennessee appears to have no running game and just lost by double digits to the […]
Cupboard Full of Young Talent
Let’s look at the eligibility remaining for the bulk of the best college football players in Athens, GA: Preseason All-SEC QB Aaron Murray is just a redshirt sophomore, and he is backed up by better-than-solid true sophomore Hutson Mason. Isaiah Crowell is already a dominant true freshman runner. WR Malcolm Mitchell is an excellent true […]
Practice Today in Athens
At soon-to-be SEC entrant Texas A&M they have cheer practice before games. When I haven’t barked audibly in a few months, my cadence is a bit off too. And when a proud football program has not won a football game in ten months, they desperately need to practice winning. Georgia will win Between the Hedges […]
Richt’s Big Number Twos
Georgia has mostly played like crap since the NFL talented two of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno left UGA without adding any SEC rings to the two that Mark Richt has. Moreno was idiotically redshirted and then played only two seasons, with UGA finishing as high as a national #2, on a very strong team […]
15 or 20 Steps to a Big Season?
Now and Later: Week 1: We faced a Top 5 team 38-2 in last 40. Week 2: Turnovers derailed upset bid of S. Carolina. 3. Coastal Carolina – Not a state. (Neither is Boise.) 4. @Ole Miss – Houston Nutts crackable. The Grove. 5. Miss State – Battle for SEC Dawg supremacy. 6. @UT – […]
Keys to a Georgia Victory Saturday
In a previous column, I gave you some strong suggestions for UGA turning around the troubling downtrend. Here I want to look more specifically at UGA as compared to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. I previously explained to you why Carolina is favored: proven individual talent. I want to show here how GEORGIA could […]
Why Carolina is Favored in Athens
Let’s look at four key players at S. Carolina: Junior WR Alshon Jeffrey is the best Gamecock wideout ever and had 1,500 yards last season while averaging 17.2 yards per touch. Our best wideout is a freshman. Sophomore RB Marcus Lattimore was the National Freshman of the Year, and he shredded UGA for 182 yards […]
Broad Scheduling a Mixed Bag
Facing Colorado, Joe Cox came off the bench to replace a struggling young Matthew Stafford and save the day in Athens. On our return visit a couple of years later, Caleb King attempted a spin move and fumbled when all we needed was a short field goal from the best kicker in the country. We […]
How to Win NOW:
With unemployment a very real possibility, these three coaches better wake up and shake up NOW. Here’s how: 1. Branden Smith can’t wear number one. Or Crowell can’t. We need Smith to play offense. And we need Boykin to play offense. Get the Powerade ready, because the best skill players on the field need to […]
