Next Year’s Clemson?

My Tech buddy Bubba, who guest appeared on my radio show two seasons ago with Wayne Gandy (a former Auburn all-American who had an undefeated senior season) and me, was texting yesterday talking about how bad Tech and Georgia were. I threw Auburn in that poison stew, too. I also threw a kudos to Clemson […]

Offensive Mind

This is not nearly as hard as we are making it, y’all. When you have a running quarterback, you run him. When you have a tight end with the best hands on the team, you throw him the football quickly when the primary receiver is covered. When a veteran talent like Keith Marshall is netting […]

Being Greyson Lambert

You had no pass protection nor running game. You graduated. You moved home. You were third string. See, we all go through major trials and tribulations in this life, and many of us come to an important crossroads on occasion and are forced to reevaluate and decide. 11. 13. ~ That’s the stat line that […]

People of the Program

“PEOPLE OF THE PROGRAM – Big Cat Candid:” UGA Legend Jonas Jennings and Program Insider Han Vance Rap about Georgia Football and Their Time Spent Attending UGA in the 1990s. Jonas Jennings:“Booger McFarland was right on my head. We were in slide protection, one play to win or lose the game on the road at […]

Being Todd Gurley: #GurleyForHeisman

The recruiting coup combination of running back threats achieved with the signing of Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley continues to yield great dividends for the University of Georgia. Marshall, the #2 overall recruit out of all US high schools when he departed the Research Triangle with a perfect scholastic grade point average. He has mostly […]

Returneth

A la Mettenberger, I’m bound for the Classic City. Early morning Megabus double-decker from ATL to downtown ATHENS, GA, I’ll be… Little early still, so, today I’m looking at the huge influence of our school’s attendees. You’ve got little ol’ me plus many other more (currently) prominent media types. Famous folks, even, like Michael Stipe […]

Beauty and the BEAST

Classic City early September Between the Hedges, and a lovely afternoon for the start of SEC divisional play. Only one SEC matchup aired in week one, an instant classic which saw upstart Ole Miss win on the road in Nashville late over emerging Vandy. Week two again saw only one SEC-on-SEC contest: ESPN televised GEORGIA […]

Mike Bobo’s Legacy

Quarterback Mike Bobo was supposed to be great, after being very good in head coach Ray Goff’s last season at the helm. That was the year I lived down in Florida, and I was glued to an old television set as instant phenom Robert Edwards switched from defensive back to running back. The schedule didn’t […]

Like It’s 1980

Private school glory for the remote control holders last night, as the Stanford Cardinal (without Andrew Luck) and the little Baylor Bears (without RGIII) beat the numbers one and two teams in the BCS. One and two had never before dropped games on the same day, and these upsets happened simultaneously last night. NCAA excitement! […]

Welcome to the Jungle

UGA may be having a good year, but we do not have a road win against a rival yet. Florida is a neutral site, and we suddenly own Jacksonville. The Vols came to the Classic City, as will little Georgia Tech. Mizzou was not exactly an SEC site; it was all too novel for the […]
