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! […]
Coaching Points: Dawgs Little Bit Off, Gurley On
True freshman running back Todd Gurley tied an NCAA record held by multiple players with his 100-yard touchdown return for a kickoff – on his first career return. UGA great Brandon Boykin, Georgia’s returner from last season, is notably the only player in NCAA history to return two for 100 yards in a career. Check […]
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 […]
For the love of Georgia
Welcome to BIG HAIRY BLAWG 2012. After being recognized as the #2 “Fastest-Growing Blog” on all of WordPress in 2010, the largest blog host site in the world, I contemplated going commercial and getting advertisers like so many of my peers. You know what I came to realize, as I watched the Bulldogs limp to a sub […]
Coaching To Do Lists
1. Retain Todd Grantham as defensive coordinator. He simply does not have the calm enough demeanor of a good head football coach, yet he is perhaps the hottest D strategist in the NCAA. The Junk Yard swaggering D will have so much talent coming back in 2012. What’s missing? Only a ball control running game […]
Looking Ahead to 2012
Last week of the year, so instead of rehashing 2011 it’s time to look ahead. BAMA – mighty BAMA – got dropped from the schedule as the SEC East has seven teams and now only two out-of-division slots. The Dawg Nation was originally looking to cruise the relatively short distance to the Capstone of Tuscaloosa, […]
Young Pups Have Dawgs A-Dreamin’
Speedy sophomore linebacker Jarvis Jones, a one-time USC Trojan and top high school player in the state of Georgia, finished the hated Vols between the checkerboards with a sack, in front of 102,000 fans and a national television audience. The top high school cornerback recruit in the nation last year, UGA wideout Malcolm Mitchell was […]
UGA Tied for First in SEC East
Gators down by two touchdowns at halftime and their starting QB proven to still be ineffective, harassed and then knocked out of the game. Stick a Crimson fork in them, as they have -3 yards rushing and won’t be making a miracle comeback in The Swamp. Defending national champion Auburn is undefeated again in conference […]
