Big Moment
Big moment for our program as the World’s Largest Cocktail Party looks to be called GEORGIA-FLORIDA instead of “Florida-Georgia” for the next full year. I propose the winner get first name in the series and the losing fans HAVE to say it the right way or face public ridicule. It’d be cool. Big moment in […]
“Cocktail Party” (poem) by Han Vance
Writer (author/journalist/poet/blogger) Han Vance won the Harriette Austin Poetry Award for ATL Fire (published by Silver Stone Press in 2015) and is the aspiring Georgia Bulldogs Poet Laureate. Cocktail Party (C) 2006 HV This is what it comes down to. This, and Auburn, but this sets up the Auburn game. For the Auburn game to […]
Cocktail Party (c) ’06
Full-length version of my award-winning football poem: This is what it comes down to. This, and Auburn, but this sets up the Auburn game. For the Auburn game to be truly huge, the Dawgs have to win this game. Every year…And, we have won it exactly 2 of the last 16 godforsaken years. Our Quarterback […]
Okefenokee Oar at Stake
Jacksonville, FL: Inside the numbers. 24-20, 17-9, 23-20, 3 straight. We are favored by 11. Is it 10 more wins or 9 more wins? Depends on your perspective, but I could give the Gators the nod there in a predecessor state ag school not necessarily being the University of Florida. (They don’t count 1904.) Otherwise, […]
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. […]
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 […]
Looking for Greener Pastures
Vince the Prince seemed to always beat the Gators. Herschel Walker was only one of a myriad of good to great GEORGIA running backs that shredded the Swamp People under Coach Dooley’s watch. Georgia didn’t throw the ball much back then. No team in the old SEC did, until a twangy Tennessean named Spurrier was […]
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 […]
Georgia-Florida Week
The red hot University of Georgia Bulldogs are coming off a big win at Tennessee and facing their biggest rival this Thursday. At football schools, rivalries ring true, and the fact that the University of Florida has mostly owned the Dawgs at the site of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville for over […]
Richt, AJ, Back 8, All-Decade, Bobo
Mark Richt remains a top ten active coach with a career record of 96-33 at Georgia. In fact with Meyer leaving Florida after the bowl game, Richt will have the highest career winning percentage of any active SEC coach. Should UGA beat UCF on December 31, Richt will have won 97 games in 10 years […]
