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 […]
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 […]
Familiar Territory
Virtually a replay of last season, simply reverse the Palmetto State opponents. Think back to us beating South Carolina by pulling away late and then putting it on them; that’s what we did to Clemson in Athens. Think back to the Clemson opener of 2013. We botched a short field goal attempt and lost by […]
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 […]
An O-Line Offensive
Will Friend at it again in the Classic City. He has squeezed the most from our limited offensive line talent the past few seasons and has helped the UGA offense sent record production marks two years consecutively. And, he recruited our new D coordinator to Athens. Oh so rarely does a national championship winning coach […]
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 a Difference
What a difference a play makes. Ask Justin Scott-Wesley or Murray for Heisman. Had that been a pick instead of a touchdown pass Murray would not be over the hump as a player, UGA would be .500, Richt would be on the hot seat, at least with the fickle fans and perhaps even with the […]
The Xs And The Os, The Ws And The L
Then they stepped forward on a separation Saturday, the defending SEC West and SEC East champions many feel are on another collision course. BAMA — GEORGIA — one has won three-of-four national championships, while netting two non-consecutive conference crowns — the other is going for the three-peat in-division but has not worn a conference crown […]
Dawgs Sweep September
Summer came to an official close recently, and this football season got off to a white hot start with GEORGIA facing Top 10 competition from LSU, South Carolina and Clemson. Clemson, currently #3 in the nation, edged UGA in a tight contest, taking advantage of UGA’s young defense and especially excelling when dominant runner Todd […]
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 […]
