Dawgs for 8-of-10 in Old Series
Welcome to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. An exciting matchup every year, Georgia (6-3) holds a 55-55-8 record versus our “sister school” Auburn (5-4), both programs’ series record on exacta. The first game-between was played in Piedmont Park of Atlanta in 1892, Georgia then coached by Charles Herty. Get this, the game was played on […]
Richt’s Folly Could Still Net Crown
Mark Richt fell to 3-3 versus the University of Alabama Saturday amidst torrentially soggy conditions in the Classic City of Athens, Georgia. 4-1 Bama surged to #10/#8 in the (meaningless post-BCS) polls with UGA tumbling to #19/#16 after a humiliating 38-10 loss. Richt still has a .500 or better record versus every SEC school not […]
October Off to a Bang
GEORGIA…Bama. This is big time, y’all. Alabama doesn’t want to be forced to realize the dynasty is over. We are poised for a breakthrough. Alabama had (only) one undefeated SEC + National Champion team during their historic four-year run. They were also the beneficiaries of some unusually good fortune very late during each of their […]
Deep Inside the SEC
Ah, SEC season. GEORGIA visits the festive Music City Saturday (3:30 CBS) to face a reeling Vandy squad coming off a bad year and a close loss at the hands of powerhouse W. Kentucky. It’s that bad in Nashville post-era of the top receiver in SEC history and a good coach, James Franklin. I can’t […]
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. […]
SEC Power Shifts Middle
At the bottom is an article I posted back in August about these programs: 1. Alabama – going for 3-of-4 nationally, undefeated but largely untested 2. Georgia – 4 and 3 and missing 7 of 22 starters, bad defense, horrible special teams 3. LSU – two losses already and more inconsistent than ever 4. South […]
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 […]
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 […]
Next Step
So close we could taste it, we didn’t get there and had to watch BAMA go from could-have-been dynasty diverted by the Dawgs, to an undeniable champion having won 3-of-4 National Championships. Auburn won the only other in a full term of college matriculation, so our neighboring state to the west has now won four […]
