DAWGS lose by 3 – Football Season
Furious rally fell short as Dawgs fell to Washington in 1st round of Big Dance by three. Nice job by Mark Fox on a strong season. Speaking of that…IT”S FOOTBALL SEASON!
Why Washington Was Worst Draw for UGA
The University of Georgia was in last place in the SEC last season in men’s basketball and made a remarkable turnaround in year two of the coach Mark Fox era. At 21-11, UGA has a decent record, and the Dawgs are battle-tested from having been in the rugged SEC East, playing twice each against fellow […]
How UGA Supplanted Tech as State’s Top Program
The University of Georgia had it cooking with my buddy Ezra Williams from Marietta High School and the Hayes brothers (Jarvis and Jonas). UGA looked to be at least a 3 seed in the NCAA tourney and was widely considered a major threat to win the SEC basketball tournament…and then Tony Coles happened. He shed […]
UGA vs. Udub
Battle of the Dawgs Friday night in the NCAA tournament in Charlotte, NC (9:45 p.m.) as the University of Georgia Bulldogs will face the Pac-10 tournament champion University of Washington Huskies and hotshot guard Isaiah Thomas. Georgia is a 10 seed, playing in the Big Dance for the 11th time in school history. When It […]
How Georgia’s Bubble Could Burst
UGA looks like an invitee to the Big Dance, with 20 wins, no bad losses, a decent RPI and decent strength of schedule. However, 20-win SEC West Champion BAMA has an abysmal strength of schedule and far below stellar RPI, which may end up being the negative key for Georgia, should BAMA beat Georgia Friday […]

Regular Season in Top 7 of All-time
GEORGIA lost at SEC West champion BAMA today, to a team that needed the win more and completed an undefeated home season. UGA finished the successful regular season with 20 wins. Only 7 teams in the 79-year history of Georgia basketball have ever cracked 20, and Mark Fox was able to accomplish this fete in […]
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 […]
Dawgs Get 20th Win, by 20
Dawgs bombed Bayou Bengals in Classic City tonight for our 20th win. Solid, very solid. The quick two-year rebuilding job Mark Fox has done since leaving Nevada to coach at the nation’s oldest state chartered public university. I think we are in the tournament at this point regardless of the outcome of both the 1:30 […]
