Border Bash Kicks Up SEC Intensity
Speaking of kicks, Morgan better get his head correct and start splitting the uprights regularly again or it will soon cost us wins. He shanked two at Vandy, but our squad had too much overall talent this season to fold in the Music City. Much tougher destinations loom on the not too distant horizon. We […]
Hoops Update and NYC Trip:
Author-journalist-poet Han Vance attended the Writer’s Digest Conference in NYC January 21-25 in support of my blogs and poetry and primarily my new full-length Cali travel adventure memoir, Golden State Genius. Info: http://www.hanvance.com During that stretch of time, UGA beat Mississippi State soundly and then lost to arch-nemesis Florida in double overtime. Georgia is vastly improved from […]
Dawgs Lose Nailbiter to Vols
The Hoop Dawgs lost a close home game against the Tennessee Volunteers Tuesday night. It appeared the game would go to overtime before UT had a put-back that just beat the final buzzer and broke a 57-57 tie. Georgia’s first home loss of the season was a costly one, as the Dawgs fell to 2-2 […]
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 […]
4-1 runs have bookended 1-4 stretch
Over the past fifteen football games played by the University of Georgia, the Dawgs have won only nine and lost six, a fireable record for the head coach. With the win over Idaho State, UGA has gone 4-1 over five games, after an unfathomably awful 1-4 start. UGA also finished last season on a 4-1 […]
Grantham’s Defense Not The Problem
When Grantham took over as defensive coordinator after last season, Georgia was coming off an 8-5 campaign full of defensive pains. Georgia had had two remarkably poor defensive seasons in a row; resultant: Richt gave Martinez his walking papers. Martinez’s final defense was actually improved from the unit that held back a talented offense (Moreno, […]
Longest-Tenured SEC Coach Faces Must Win
Let’s face it: GEORGIA must win Saturday night in Starkville. Are we really going to plummet from a number 2 team at season’s end only 3 seasons ago, to a squad that is 0-3 in the SEC, coming off a 5-loss season? The season will be utterly unsalvageable if we start winless in the league […]
Looking at Division Schedules…Already
Thing about an early loss is: if you are going to drop a game, the most-recoverable games to lose in college football are definitely the earliest. You can recover and you know where you stand. We are currently last in the East. Our primary initial goal is to win the SEC East this season. We […]
Big Time
Let’s get this, Dawgs. We have been pushed around far too long by Florida, and Tennessee has taken back control of that series in a major way. We have been humbled in big games at home. And now we trot out a redshirt freshman quarterback – to lead 10 returning starters. That is where the […]
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 […]
