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 […]

No Time to Wallow in the Valley

South Carolina’s flagship institution is not the historic football power in the Palmetto State. That distinction falls to Death Valley, where Clemson edged geographic and traditional rival Georgia 38-35 Saturday night behind five touchdowns by stellar senior quarterback Tajh Boyd. Stud Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins went for over a hundred; their newly starting runner went […]

Virtuoso Blocking Displayed Between the Hedges

In rivalry games this season UGA is now 1-0 as the Dawgs rolled up 560 yards, including an impressive 282 on the ground. The University of Tennessee Volunteers fell to 3-2 and 0-2 in SEC play for the season, with a 51-44 Georgia win. The Bulldogs, ranked #5 in the nation, moved to 5-0, 3-0 […]

Georgia Coaching Legacies

Waiting for the start of the Red River Rivalry at noon, a diversion to waste part of the long day that ends with Rocky Top. All Tennessee games end with the singing of that old song. I hope to hear it very few times this evening, although the game does look like it could be […]

Murray to Crack .500 by Tennessee River?

Greetings from the undeniable Capital of the South. Enjoying the almost always beautiful autumn in Atlanta easier for me when Georgia beats Tennessee. My favorite month can turn quicker than the leaves, when UT does what UT used to do annually to UGA. Donnan broke through and then Richt hobnail booted, and the rivalry fully […]

DAWGS’ Prospects for 2011

NCAA football season is now complete with the SEC going 5-5 in bowls and winning a 5th straight National Championship. The SEC East division finished a terrible 1-4, with only 5-loss Florida getting a bowl win. With no SEC team repeating as conference champion in the past 10 years, the league should expect a new […]

UGA to Retake ATL in 2011

GEORGIA will kickoff the 2011 football season in The ATL against national power Boise State at 8 pm on September 3rd in the Georgia Dome. For the 2011 season to be a complete success coming off two less than stellar campaigns, UGA must win in Atlanta three times: including at Tech on November 26th and […]

Can UGA Vanquish Growing Pains?

GEORGIA can do a whole lot to begin to vanquish this season’s growing pains by pulling out a victory at Colorado Saturday night. We won’t recover from 0-3 in the SEC this weekend, nor this season, but we need – desperately need – to win a football game for the future of our not so […]

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 […]

Never the same as last year

Every year I follow a multitude of preseason prognosticators and guffaw. They generally have very little deviation from the end of the previous season’s order of finish in any given league. This is just amateur of these so-called professionals. They can’t be idiotic enough to really believe that all the teams that finished with a […]
