Tony,

Did we watch the same UT/Cal game? UT played Cal even, but the one turnover and punt return did them in. Hardly a butt kicking. For this week, Auburn gets upset, Michigan starts 0-2 as does ND…and SOS gets his revenge ‘tween the hedges.

I can give you two reasons why the cocks will not win.one is the defensive speed of UGA.Two is that stafford and Bobo are going to open up th offense a little more than they did against the OSU pokeys.

Tony: I think you probably are going to have a funny feeling about every Ga. game this year. Who the heck knows when the inexperience on the offensive line actually bites us. On the other hand, our skill players are pretty good and Sean Bailey gives us something we did not have last year. If we don’t turn the ball over, we are going to be difficult to beat. Georgia is stuck this year with the result that if they win, the opponent all the sudden is just considered not very good and if Georgia loses, its because Georgia is just not very good. Spurrier is what he is… but I like our chances with our coach… can’t remember his name, but I hear he’s pretty good himself.

someone please tell me why there is this love affair with VT? what have they done that has earned them all this praise? they didn’t win the ACC last year, the dogs hung 28 on them in the Peach and they were avg against ECU. usually when there’s a reason to be emotional about a game the team plays better, not worse. LSU is gonna kick this team back to Vir-gina without a problem….and come on barnhart, you have a “very funny feeling” about this UGA/USC game? i bet you had it last year and the 4 yrs before that. i have a funny feeling too, the dogs were just warming up last week. blake mitchel is gonna wish he would’ve skipped a few more classes and been suspended. he’s weak. he’s scared. and he’s not a leader. dogs win by pulling away in the 2nd half.

OSU was a tough game compared to what will happen tomorrow night. Once we rattle Mitchell, and we will, its all downhill for the Cocks. Our defense is too fast and they can’t stop us. Look for several big plays in the passing game.

Well folks,

Not even I, a devout UGA hater, am sure that SC beats the hounds this weekend. Spurrier is great, but that hasn’t mattered so far since he’s been at SC. UGA looked a lot better than I thought they would last week, and I don’t see SC being good enough to come into Athens and be that much better than Ok. State. We’ll see what happens, but I agree with Tony’s pick.

Tech will roll Samford obviously, and I like the 42-7. Hopefully no one is hurt.

I agree with every other game except a couple. I can see Vandy beating Alabama at Vandy, and I still am not sure about Michigan. Yes, it is the Big House (it was there last week too), and Michigan will be fired up (should have been last week too), but I don’t know. Oregon is really good and Michigan can’t heal that quickly. I call that one 31-21 Ducks. Sorry Navy and Maize, long ways yet to go.

So, I guess we’ll keep the in-laws happy this weekend (big dawg fans), and I’ll be happy as I prepare for the dawg slaughter on November 24th.

Good work Tony!

The Nerds will come back down to earth a little this weekend (31-14). R.L., ND is simply AWFUL. They may have been the slowest team I saw all weekend. Dawgs will roll up on S.C (28-10). Anybody who thinks Jar Jar Binks and company will score 3 TDs against the Dawgs is very delusional. If the Dawgs don’t turn it over, we cruise! Michigan will rebound, Tide wins a squeeker, Vols win a close one, LSU romps (VT’s Glennon and OL is not very good), and Texas better watch out. USF could very well pull a shocker but my head says they won’t. Tony, 28-27? I am disappointed and shocked that is your prediction after your knowledge of CFB, particularlly in the South.

Mr. College Football, if you read this, could you comment on Lou Holtz supposedly apologizing on the ESPN set to the Dawg Nation for picking Okie State. He also picked the Gamechickens the last 2 yrs. running. I’ve always liked Lou Holtz and still do, but he dislikes Ga so much and it’s so obvious, it’s now funny to listen to him on the ESPN set. Mark May and Reese Davis beat him finally, it reached a point of being ridiculous, his disdain for GA.

I’ll admit that there have been years where I was concerned as to if the DAWGS would win this game. This isn’t one of those years. DAWGS win by at least 10. As for TENN, to those VOL fans that are still in denial it’s true: TENN did indeed get their butts kicked.

By CW

I think VT’s defense will put some pressure on LSU, but LSU has too much speed to be held out of the end zone. I think the hokies are better than they showed against ECU, but I just don’t think their QB Glennon is going to be able to get the passing game going and they will struggle to score anything but field goals.

I don’t believe for a minute that SC will win in Athens. I’d love to be proven wrong, but Richt looks like he is simply reloading another great team and I don’t think the gamecocks can keep up.

Everyone in Alabama has had their eye on the Vandy game for months. Even though Vandy hasn’t beaten Bama in 19 years, they always play tough and it is generally a much closer game than it should be. Bottom line is that the Dores aren’t sneaking up on the Tide. Saban’s team might not beat LSU, Tenn or some of their other stronger opponents this year, which puts even more focus on winning the games they should. Bama will win and it won’t be nearly as close as everyone thinks.

Spurrier is a great coach but this sandbagging theory the media has come up with is beyond ludicrous. If that’s what he’s resorting to these days to help SC win they are in some serious trouble.

As for other games, LSU will blow VT out. There’s no way to spin last week’s performance. That offense is atrocious. They’ll be lucky if they score a point. Now that Michigan has been exposed (a littler earlier than normal) VT gets my vote for most overrated team in the country. LSU is a much more balanced team across the board AND its in Baton Rouge.

Look on the bright side of your season after you lose to the cocks, the Vols and Kentucky or Vandy again that the peach bowl is not a really long commute from Dacula.

General Neyland

best UGA QB “That’s not too difficult to accomplish”

Uh, Remember a guy named Fran Tarkenton?

he was the quarterback on the Bulldog football team, leading Georgia to the 1959 Southeastern Conference championship under legendary coach Wally Butts.

Voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1986, Tarkenton is widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time due to his running and passing ability.

I would say that saying Stafford may be the bast UGA QB ever is really saying something!

And time will tell…Stafford may turn out to be the best.

By NASCARfan

September 7, 2007 3:04 PM | Link to this

Gen. Neyland, with all due respect, General Sir, I must disagree.

Coach Richt said Matt Stafford is the best QB he’s ever coached, not the best at Georgia. He hasn’t earned that distinction yet.

I’ll have to go with Fran Tarkenton, David Greene, and D.J. Shockley, in that order, for the best Georgia QBs as far as winning and talent goes.

But in the end, Matthew Stafford could very well be at the top of that list. He’ll need at least two SEC Titles to do so.

And for those wondering about Buck Belue, I’m sorry, but I said quarterbacks, not the guy who hands off to Herschal.

You mentioned to Dacula Dawg that the Peach Bowl isn’t too long of a drive from where he lives. You, being a Vol fan, should well be aware of that fact with your beloved Vols participating in and losing in back to back Peach Bowls against Maryland and Clemson.

That very same year UGA went to the SEC Championship while UT lost to Maryland…

The good thing for Ga. is that the Cocks have more holes and less talent. Michigan needs to win..badly. Notre Dame cannot win with their talent. Tennessee is not well coached and Phil is soon to be an EX-VOL coach. LSU looked horrible on offense except for that 2nd half drive.

As for the other games LSU and VT will be closer than a lot of you think with LSU winning in a close,tough and hard fought game. Miss. State played pretty good on defense against the Bengal Tigers and actually beat themselves. As for Auburn and South Florida this will be a very close and hard fought game but Auburn is the more talented team and if they cut down on the missed assignments on their offensive line they will win, besides the word is out on the Bulls and they won’t be able to sneak up on anybody this year.

Tennessee will beat Southern Miss as they will come out playing like mad hornets after being embarrassed with being so pourous on defense last week. Alabama will win a close game with Vandy because they have their number. Look for GT to win but it will be a lot closer than it should because they are inconsistent and usually play down to the weaker team. Oklahoma and Miami will be a close game and I wouldn’t be surprised if Miami wins. Texas will beat TCU who just doesn’t have the horses to compete with the Longhorns. ND and Penn State this one is a hard one to call as I think Penn St is not as good as they looked last week- played a patsy and Norte Dame who looked terrible because they played a very good GT team. My gut tells me Penn State should win but somehow, someway ND might just win. Oregon and Michigan I wouldn’t want to be the Ducks because they are gonna lose to a bunch of mad and fired up Wolverines.

And I have already said in my above post that the Dawgs will win and if the Dawgs play the way they are capable it won’t be close. BTW I believe Ole Miss will give Missouri a pretty good game but will probably lose.

I am going to change the subject for a minute. I see Coach Richt will be dressing Caleb King. I don’t understand why people have a problem with this. Just like Matt Stafford, if you’re that good, why keep him off the field especially now that Lumpkin will be out. I know that when Kregg returns, his carries may diminish but loosing the year won’t really make a difference. And don’t compare it to last year, since Thomas Brown didn’t go down until the 6th game of the year. Had it happened in the first game I am sure we would have seen Knowlshon Moreno last season. Yes, the red shirt does help, but given only two quality backs, King could be the X factor for a run at a championship.

Getting back to the topic at hand, most of these predictions are right on accept for one. I know that this SC game is always close this appears to be a special season. I have more confidence in the defence than I had before because of their ability to limit a very potent offense last week. I just don’t think Spurrier has enough weapons to stay with UGA. Georgia 35, South Carolina 7.

Tony I am a die hard DAWG fan,and I understand how you feel about this game. I believe that UGA pull this game out because of their senior leadership. If you look at the OK STATE game all of the UGA seniors made big plays. Every USC fan I talk to says that USC sandbagged it vs ULL , but i’m going to tell you like I told them ( CHAMPIONS DON’T HAVE TO SANDBAG IT)

Not to worry Ga. fans. Dawgs get it done early and often. Stafford is going to show up big this year (even with the young O-line). UGA is a much more talented team than alot of people think. Ga. runs the table this year.

The people who think Spurrier is a better coach than Richt are just crazy. Spurrier is a very innovative offensive mind. Richt has all that and doesn’t do the intangibles that hurt a player’s psyche.

Richt knew UGA could play for SEC and Nat’l championships from day one. Spurrier still doesn’t believe USC can compete.

I have to agree with some of the posts I’ve been reading. What is the “love affair” with VT? I agree 100% that what happened on that campus is as tragic as it get’s for it was a very sad day. On a football basis VT’s football team is very over hyped. I think LSU will crush them today. SEC vs ACC, yes LSU will crush them today.

As for UT, hey, Cal played a great game. UT did not play bad. They will be strong no doubt. Too much talent.

As for our DAWGS, we should beat South Carolina by 10 to 14, but for some reason this game remains a tight game every year. You know Spurrier is pulling out all the stops to beat us. However, I do believe that Mr. Bobo has a few tricks under his sleeve as well. If we don’t turn the ball over we will be in good shape. GO DAWGS! 28-10

Who cares who wins. Its just more fun to pull against the dawgs because their gasbag blog fans go nuts. Its like Notre Dame. More fun to pull against them. Another example: Al Queda.

I love all the “bold predictions” when there is no money on the line. Wish I could find the guy who picked UGA 41-10. I’ll take USC and 31 points for $100,000.

Here we go again… Yellowblood a.k.a TOOL!

It must really suck to be part of the “Nerd Herd.” It must also really be frustrating knowing that your High School team will always be a distant second, even third, to the University of Georgia’s football program in the state of Georgia.

A reminder 15 out of the past 20 years! Six, soon to be seven, in a row.

Jay: Calm down. UGA is playing for no national championship. Not this year. Not next year.
2N4Years: What does that mean ? 2 job offers in 4 years ?. 2 dates in 4 years ?

Stafford is the best QB to ever play at UGA ? Pathetic. Go ahead and give him a fat head and watch what it does for him. Until UGA wins a nat. championship there is no reason to call anyone on this team the best ever. Earth-to- CMR: Run you mouth after you’ve done it.

YELLOW “TOOL” Blood

Again, your a MORON. Read the article you idiot. CMR said he is the best QB HE’S ever coached. Typical NERD. Get your facts right.

15 out of 20 and six in a row. Come back and blog when your High Scool team is consistant. In other words, we should never hear from you again.

I live in Japan, the game is already over here. I’m drunk and it’s 3:07 am. Sorry to ruin the suprise for you Americans. UGA 42, SC 14. Barnhart’s an idiot.

Well, you boys just crapped in your diapers. GA SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXs. Stafford is a bozo. He missed open recievers, overthrew recievers and looked like a junior in high school. Good luck with this sorry team. Your defense SUXXXXXXXXs too. Your coach was in LA-LA land. SPURRIER RULESSSSSSSSSSSSS. Good night. Sleep tight.

To all you redneck Georgia fans…hahahahahahhahahaha!! You all need to quit flapping your toothless gums about how good the doggies are. We just rolled into Athens and whipped your butts! So go back to work Monday at the chicken plants knowing you have a BIG “L” on the board courtesy of the “Old Ball Coach”..LMAO!!

My Fearless Friday forecasts:

Chan may let them rack up some points in the first half, but he calls off the dogs at halftime. If all goes to plan, neither Bennett nor Choice will leave the sideline after halftime. Tech 35-13

Only half right on the VT-LSU matchup. It will be low scoring…for VT. LSU in a laugher.

Oregon will beat UM handily. Oregon 28-10.

RESULTS:

Chan, according to pattern, called off the dogs BEFORE halftime. But, I didn’t realize how bad Samford was. They puked up points to our scrubs.

I think I nailed the LSU-VT and Oregon-Michigan games.

Bisher, Barnhart, Moore, Bradley, etc., I know it’s not your paper and it’s not your beloved Jackets or Dawgs or any other from the division “formally known as…”, but how do you totally ignore the sports of HBCU’s, particularly of those in your backyard? You do have readers that are interested in Morehouse and Clark-Atlanta sports. I’m on a military tour in the desert and can’t find a peep in my good AJC online.
