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 […]
Georgia-Florida Week
The red hot University of Georgia Bulldogs are coming off a big win at Tennessee and facing their biggest rival this Thursday. At football schools, rivalries ring true, and the fact that the University of Florida has mostly owned the Dawgs at the site of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville for over […]
Annual Talent Exodus at UGA
Georgia is first in the SEC in total NFL draft picks over the past ten years with fifty-seven players taken. Twenty-six UGA players have been drafted by the league since the Dawgs last won the SEC five years ago behind DJ Shockley. Matthew Stafford went number one overall in 2009, and we may again see […]
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, […]
Scoutin’ the Cajuns
Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns – formerly Louisiana-Lafayette and before that Southwest Louisiana – play in the Sunbelt Conference in front of 31,000. They travel to ATHENS, GA Saturday to take on your Big Hairy Dawgs in an opener tuneup for GEORGIA a week prior to a potentially nefarious road trip to Columbia. The Gamecocks have proven […]
Schedule Breakdown
Coming off an 8-5 debacle of a season in 2009, Georgia looks to return to our rightful place in the national top ten in 2010. UGA has not had two consecutive down years since Mark Richt became head coach, and five losses equated to the worst season for Georgia Football since Richt’s predecessor Jim Donnan’s […]
What if UGA Struggles Again?
If we drop more than three games next season, I expect a full onslaught of angry Dawgs to storm the office of Damon Evans and call for Richt’s head. Damon would stand by Coach, but that is a highly-realistic expectation, when you consider our history. New starting quarterbacks coupled with new defensive alignments have rarely […]
With Mettenberger Gone, Quarterbacks Must Step Up
Curious that Aaron Murray did not play in the first half of the G-Day Game, I had to ask myself: Is he already the season opener starter for the University of Georgia Bulldogs? That question was a presumed yes for many fans anyway, with Zach Mettenberger facing at least a one game suspension for arrest […]
Welcome to the season
The night before a big game is not a big party night for me. I just want time to pass … as quickly as possible. So, I worked at one job and filled out paperwork at the other, came home, took a shower and soon went to bed. When daylight awakened me, “Thank God,” I […]
Wrong Overshadowed Right
Think about this: For the first time in the history of this storied program GEORGIA gave up 38 or more points five times, all during the regular season. That’s right. Five out of twelve times that we lined up, we were utterly scorched for at least 38 points. In the regular season finale, holding Tech […]
