“Tale of Two Saturdays”
In my humble opinion, the penultimate level of amateur athletics is American college football, and the end of year rivalries, including state championships, are just too savory not to be enjoyed. Tale of two Saturdays. Again. As it’s been so many weeks, so many autumnal years. Hanging with the #Marshall crew before the game today, […]
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 […]
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. […]
Eleven
High noon Between the Hedges, moments after a touching Senior Day ceremony ended. Without it being said by many, it was notable too for the number of NFL draft-ready Georgia juniors playing their final game in Athens. This team will look different next year, and the schedule will toughen significantly with the additions of the […]
Like It’s 1980
Private school glory for the remote control holders last night, as the Stanford Cardinal (without Andrew Luck) and the little Baylor Bears (without RGIII) beat the numbers one and two teams in the BCS. One and two had never before dropped games on the same day, and these upsets happened simultaneously last night. NCAA excitement! […]
Bring on the Alabama State Schools
Florida sits atop the SEC East at the end of their SEC season, but it is not where they wanted to be. Georgia alum Will Muschamp led them to a one-loss season, but that loss was to the tiebreaker-owning Bulldogs, behind in the standings with a loss yet with a game to play. Georgia beats […]
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!
2012 UGA SEC Media Days Report
Mark Richt, the longest-tenured head football coach in the greatest American college football conference, headlined the SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL on July 19th. Over three gloriously long days in the Birmingham area, thirteen other head football coaches had spoken to the media masses. Richt stepped to the mic after 1 p.m., under a […]
The Big Four
For the first time in his mostly successful eleven-year head coaching career at the nation’s oldest state chartered public university, Mark Richt was able to do what Jim Donnan and Ray Goff never could: beat our four biggest rivals in the same season. Richt’s best team went 13-1 but lost to Florida in a flukey […]
Looking Ahead to 2012
Last week of the year, so instead of rehashing 2011 it’s time to look ahead. BAMA – mighty BAMA – got dropped from the schedule as the SEC East has seven teams and now only two out-of-division slots. The Dawg Nation was originally looking to cruise the relatively short distance to the Capstone of Tuscaloosa, […]
