People of the Program

“PEOPLE OF THE PROGRAM – Big Cat Candid:” UGA Legend Jonas Jennings and Program Insider Han Vance Rap about Georgia Football and Their Time Spent Attending UGA in the 1990s. Jonas Jennings:“Booger McFarland was right on my head. We were in slide protection, one play to win or lose the game on the road at […]

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 […]

Mark Richt Era Wins Ranked:

This year’s Florida win feels like the biggest win of the year, though beating LSU is always good and breaking the three-game South Carolina series run was important. I’d say the Cocktail Party win of 2013 belongs at #9 on the list below: 1. At Auburn (Michael Johnson grab results in SEC East crown)-Year 2. […]

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 […]

The Xs And The Os, The Ws And The L

Then they stepped forward on a separation Saturday, the defending SEC West and SEC East champions many feel are on another collision course. BAMA — GEORGIA — one has won three-of-four national championships, while netting two non-consecutive conference crowns — the other is going for the three-peat in-division but has not worn a conference crown […]

Dawgs Sweep September

Summer came to an official close recently, and this football season got off to a white hot start with GEORGIA facing Top 10 competition from LSU, South Carolina and Clemson. Clemson, currently #3 in the nation, edged UGA in a tight contest, taking advantage of UGA’s young defense and especially excelling when dominant runner Todd […]

Returneth

A la Mettenberger, I’m bound for the Classic City. Early morning Megabus double-decker from ATL to downtown ATHENS, GA, I’ll be… Little early still, so, today I’m looking at the huge influence of our school’s attendees. You’ve got little ol’ me plus many other more (currently) prominent media types. Famous folks, even, like Michael Stipe […]

It’s a DAWGS World

Happy fall, y’all. Here is a unique piece of sports journalism. My daddy was a race car driver. Well, not really, but he married six times and was engaged when he died. He was a champion water ski jumper, a boxer, an amateur pilot, a defensive back a year ahead of Roger Staubach at New […]

Beauty and the BEAST

Classic City early September Between the Hedges, and a lovely afternoon for the start of SEC divisional play. Only one SEC matchup aired in week one, an instant classic which saw upstart Ole Miss win on the road in Nashville late over emerging Vandy. Week two again saw only one SEC-on-SEC contest: ESPN televised GEORGIA […]

Depth Chart Battles (and Other Summer Tangents)

Sophomore strong safety Josh Harvey-Clemons is suspended for the huge GEORGIA-Clemson opener on August 31st (8:00 p.m., ABC, at Death Valley in South Carolina) yet is holding off another excellent athlete, junior Corey Moore, on the official team depth chart. The reality is Moore will start the next time toe meets leather, and he actually […]
