GONE BOWLIN’
One way to think of it would be an early retirement-like, second-tier type final job, getting out of the SEC pressure cooker and either it works out big at Miami or it doesn’t but, dude, you are from Boca. Half the country would love to empty nester old-age-it-up somewhere in the Sunshine State, and you […]
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 […]
Big Moment
Big moment for our program as the World’s Largest Cocktail Party looks to be called GEORGIA-FLORIDA instead of “Florida-Georgia” for the next full year. I propose the winner get first name in the series and the losing fans HAVE to say it the right way or face public ridicule. It’d be cool. Big moment in […]
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 […]
Vols Will Battle Dawgs
Last year’s tilt on Rocky Top was part of an ongoing injuries horror show. Receivers had dropped like flies for weeks, and we had seen star Todd Gurley fall to an injury the week prior, rolled up on by an overmatched Bayou Bengal. We survived LSU after beating Carolina by double digits. Those were home […]
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 […]
Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams
“Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams” Joystick era underway at UGA. 14 years post-Donnan season underway, and my little BHB itself has a 2007 origin way in the rearview. 7 years. 14 years. TOUCHDOWNS, baby! Make more touchdowns than your opponents and win. That’s football, we think. But field goals matter, too, more than most […]
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 […]
