Border Bash Kicks Up SEC Intensity
Speaking of kicks, Morgan better get his head correct and start splitting the uprights regularly again or it will soon cost us wins. He shanked two at Vandy, but our squad had too much overall talent this season to fold in the Music City. Much tougher destinations loom on the not too distant horizon. We […]
Mark Richt Era Wins Ranked:
This year’s Florida win feels like the biggest win of the year, though beating LSU is always good and breaking the three-game South Carolina series run was important. I’d say the Cocktail Party win of 2013 belongs at #9 on the list below: 1. At Auburn (Michael Johnson grab results in SEC East crown)-Year 2. […]
What Has Been Missing In Program
Home dominance. Miami’s semi-professional run in the old Orange Bowl. Nebraska’s mid-1990s Sea of Red. LSU of late at night in Death Valley, contributing to LSU having the best record in the SEC in the past dozen years (UGA 2nd). Certain home scenes have been at the heart of dominant programs, and Between the Hedges […]
2012 UGA SEC Media Days Report
Mark Richt, the longest-tenured head football coach in the greatest American college football conference, headlined the SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL on July 19th. Over three gloriously long days in the Birmingham area, thirteen other head football coaches had spoken to the media masses. Richt stepped to the mic after 1 p.m., under a […]
Nice Road Win in Hogland
Desperate to win a conference game after two straight close SEC East division losses, UGA won by one point at Arkansas Wednesday night. Trey Thompkins appeared to have traveled after he drew the foul on the final shot of the game. He swished the first free throw to break a 59-59 tie and then wisely […]
Hoop Dawgs Drop One in Bluegrass
Playing at Kentucky in front of a packed house that included actress Ashley Judd, the UGA basketball team lost to the Kentucky Wildcats by six points Saturday afternoon. Georgia made it close late but could not catch a determined Big Blue, desperate to avoid the sweep by the Dawgs. Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie – […]
DAWGS’ Prospects for 2011
NCAA football season is now complete with the SEC going 5-5 in bowls and winning a 5th straight National Championship. The SEC East division finished a terrible 1-4, with only 5-loss Florida getting a bowl win. With no SEC team repeating as conference champion in the past 10 years, the league should expect a new […]
4-1 runs have bookended 1-4 stretch
Over the past fifteen football games played by the University of Georgia, the Dawgs have won only nine and lost six, a fireable record for the head coach. With the win over Idaho State, UGA has gone 4-1 over five games, after an unfathomably awful 1-4 start. UGA also finished last season on a 4-1 […]
Grantham’s Defense Not The Problem
When Grantham took over as defensive coordinator after last season, Georgia was coming off an 8-5 campaign full of defensive pains. Georgia had had two remarkably poor defensive seasons in a row; resultant: Richt gave Martinez his walking papers. Martinez’s final defense was actually improved from the unit that held back a talented offense (Moreno, […]
Tough Home Loss
Playing without starting fullback Chapas, starting tailback C. King and suspended all-world (selfish idiot) wideout AJ Green, Georgia trailed top SEC offensive squad Arkansas by two touchdowns late. The play calling had been so predictable that I called for an offensive coordinator change by day’s end. Suddenly, we showed heart and a furious rally was […]
