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 […]
Love Them While You Can (Win Now)
Since the USFL contracted with Herschel Walker and he became the first underclassman to leave college early for a professional football league, many of the University Georgia’s greatest gridiron talents have played Between the Hedges for relatively short periods of time. Stud wideout AJ Green started and played well all season as a true freshman […]
Homecoming in the Deep South
Vandy and Kentucky, the historic two-team bottom tier in the SEC East and in the whole of the SEC, were regularly alternating Homecoming opponents in the Classic City for many years, with UGA winning every year in the modern era save one: a mid-season swoon during a 9-4 Matthew Stafford-led frosh campaign where UGA lost […]
Glory in Jacksonville
Jordan Reed, easily #2 Florida’s best football player, surged past the first down marker and toward the goal line very late at the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Between him and a touchdown stood rugged senior Shawn Williams. Reed went air born as Shawn roughed him up. Concurrently, All-American Jarvis Jones caught the Gator from […]
P44 Haynes ~ Hobnail Boot
Dear readers, let us fondly now recall Mark Richt’s first big rivalry win, and the second greatest call ever by Larry Munson (Run Lindsay #1, of course). Mr. Munson will always be the single greatest radioman of all time. No audio here…none needed. It’s in your brain and heart. RIP, Larry. GO, Richt!
Ode to a Legend (c) ’08
(On the 2008 retirement of Larry Munson:) My God, Larry …. Would you look at the stupid clock …. It says forty-two …. That’s how many …. Beautiful, bountiful …. Years you gave …. To the fair institution …. You are one, yourself …. And no man can be an island …. But Hell if […]

Georgia On Bubble with 19 Wins
DAWGS swept the season series from South Carolina by winning in the Classic City 64-48 Saturday night. Trey Thompkins went for twenty in a game punctuated by an abundance of Georgia dunks, by a myriad of players. The team seems to be gelling when we face average and poor teams, but we have not faired […]
