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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ascending into Autumn
56-20 was the final score in a not so ready for primetime matchup Saturday night Between the Hedges. The boys from Boca came out ready to fire on offense, and they hung around with explosive Georgia until the game was knotted at 14. From there, the Dawgs D woke up while the offense rolled to […]
THIS is SEC Football
Until only a minute-and-a-half was left in a tough first half, GEORGIA and Missouri were locked up in a 3-3 defensive battle in America’s heartland. Senior cornerback Branden Smith took a bad coverage angle, and Mizzou held a 10-3 advantage. Suffering adrenalized overthrows all half, Murray suddenly settled down and started hitting T.K., Bennett and […]
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 […]
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, […]
Outcoached, Outclassed, Unblemished
Georgia has not lost in the Music City in twenty years outside of a thusly named bowl in Mark Richt’s first season as a head coach, when his historically poor clock management cost us a close loss to overmatched little Boston College, after it had cost us a tough loss to Auburn earlier that year […]
Dawgs-Commodores in Nashville
GEORGIA is tied for first with S. Carolina in the SEC East. Carolina playing at Mississippi State, while UGA travels to Vandy for another 7 p.m. Tennessee tilt. Team-leading receiver Malcolm Mitchell is unable to play this week but will hopefully return for the Georgia-Florida game a week after the bye, and top runner Isaiah […]
