GONE BOWLIN’
One way to think of it would be an early retirement-like, second-tier type final job, getting out of the SEC pressure cooker and either it works out big at Miami or it doesn’t but, dude, you are from Boca. Half the country would love to empty nester old-age-it-up somewhere in the Sunshine State, and you […]
Smart to UGA
Jeremy Pruitt stressed he would like to return as the UGA defensive coordinator immediately after he stoned Tech 13-7 in Atlanta Saturday afternoon. An opening score by 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel outdistanced the Jackets, who were held scoreless into the 4th yet still had a shot late due to Georgia’s remarkably low scoring output. Georgia […]
“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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
UGA Football: Top Sports Product in State
Before the start of the college football season, in writing I called for the Georgia Bulldogs to win exactly ten games and the SEC East and it be somewhat disappointing. I called for Georgia to beat Florida and Tennessee and stressed the importance of beating the four biggest rivals (4-0 for the first time under […]
Diamond Dawgs Take Tech at The Ted
UGA did much of their damage to 9th-ranked Georgia Tech in the 4th inning and then added an insurance run late, which proved unnecessary as the DAWGS beat their arch rival Yellow Jackets by 2 runs in front of over 18,000 fans. Tech beat Georgia in 2 earlier match-ups this season, so the UGA football-basketball-baseball […]
