Love Them While You Can (Win Now)
Since the USFL contracted with Herschel Walker and he became the first underclassman to leave college early for a professional football league, many of the University Georgia’s greatest gridiron talents have played Between the Hedges for relatively short periods of time. Stud wideout AJ Green started and played well all season as a true freshman […]
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 […]

The Big Four
For the first time in his mostly successful eleven-year head coaching career at the nation’s oldest state chartered public university, Mark Richt was able to do what Jim Donnan and Ray Goff never could: beat our four biggest rivals in the same season. Richt’s best team went 13-1 but lost to Florida in a flukey […]
Georgia-Alabama Rivalry Undone
Perhaps the most storied program in the history of college football (certainly top 5), the University of Alabama does not regularly play it’s neighbor, the University of Georgia. There was a day and a time when Vince Dooley annually faced Bear Bryant, but that day has long passed. Since well before and throughout the entire […]
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 […]
