Well, welcome to the Tony Barnhart kiss of death, Tennessee fans.

You’ll fit right in with Auburn, Florida, us, and LSU. When Ole’ Tony gets you in his sights and predicts you’ll win outright, just pack it in and go home, because your goose is cooked!

So enjoy your bid to the Peach Bowl or Music City Bowl. I promise to not think about you and your fat, ugly-orange-clad coach while I relax on South Beach, looking at the topless senioritas and partying in awesome Miami night clubs before the Orange Bowl where we’ll whip the ACC Chumpions and finish in the top-3, maybe as high as No. 2.

I think UGA will be in the national champioship game this year.And I think they will win it and I think they will win it at least the next 3 years. They have gotten better and the other teams haven’t plus the other teams know they can’t compete with UGA so they just stopped trying for the next 3 years.

Why do Georgia fans have to be such sore losers? The SEC Championship game isn’t about YOU this year, so why chime in? If you were such a good team then you should have taken care of business when you played Tennessee and South Carolina.

Congratulations, you’ll play in a BCS bowl and might finish in the top 3 at the end of the year….but who cares? I can remember each SEC Champion for the past 20 years, but I couldn’t tell you who finished 3rd in the BCS last year. CHAMPIONSHIPS matter, and that’s what people remember. Tennessee may well lose on Saturday, but THEY are playing and no one gives a crap about Georgia this weekend.

Go rant on one of your numerous blogs about how NEXT year is going to be your year….or just cut and paste the same stuff you say every year.

Great season for the Dawgs no matter what. It’s too bad the two best teams in the SEC (UGA & UF) can’t play for the title. (yes I know we’re in the same division and it couldn’t happen anyway, but I’m just saying, Saturday will be a letdown. See when you have to explain yourself it just ruins it…whatever). Here’s to hoping the Dawgs finish strong in either the Orange or (please Lord) the Rose Bowl.

Tony, Tony, Tony.

My Picks;

1. LSU over Tenn by 10.
2. Va Tech over BC by 7.
3. Missouri over Oklahoma by 10.
4. W Va over Pitt by 14.
5. Hawaii over WA by 14.

How can you possibly pick an inept (late season) UT over LSU? The Tigers will gut it up and pound UT.

Va Tech over BC - I’m with you.

Oklahoma beating Mizzou? No way - I called last week’s win over Kansas and Missouri will do it again ove Oklahoma.

West Va over Pitt - of course.

Hawaii over WA - yeah, but not by more than two TD’s.

First, a 35-14 thrashing is not “incredible luck”. It is a good old fashioned tail whipping. Had UGA taken care of business it would be their turn, but obviously Tennessee was the better team. Second, which teams “know they can’t compete with UGA”? Not the Vols. They whipped UGA the last two years for a combined score of 86-47. Who can’t compete? Oh, and don’t waste our time with…well if we could play again this weekend.

Tony, thanks for nothing. You have unsuccessfully picked against the Vols each week. We were hoping you would do the same this week. I didn’t see your UGA pick? Oh, that’s right…they got pounded by the Volunteers for the second straight year and will watch the best in the SEC play for the Championship. Some things never change, do they?

By Baloney

November 30, 2007 9:16 AM | Link to this

On second thought… I think Georgia Tech will play for the National Championship. Using Les Miles logic, you can only count the games where Choice ran over 100 yards. Then, any losses remain, can be justified with the handicap of Gailey as coach. Then, there were games like Georgia where the refs gave every play to Georgia. After taking those things into consideration, Georgia Tech is undefeated.

But maybe, if Tennessee wins tomorrow, they will play for the National Championship. They will have beaten everyone easily, especially if you imagine that a field-goal victory is almost the same as a bases-clearing triple in the bottom of the ninth. Baseball fans go wild for those wins, just as football fans should.

By no means am I a Tennessee fan, but Barnhardt’s right on this one. Tennessee has a knack for winning close, ugly games. They won ugly all year when they won the national championship. They almost look like the Boston Red Rox did a few years ago, when their backs were against the wall game after game. Fulmer will play his painful to watch, reactionary football (in other words, wait until the other team does something before you respond, instead of being proactive). But I think they’ll win, especially after the overhype that LSU’s had all year. Anyhow, GO DAWGS!!

Doesn’t it just make you boil inside to know that we’re not even in the SECCG and yet are dominating the airwaves nonetheless? It just has to make you spit doesn’t it??? Tennessee had their one great game this year and it came against the team it needed to, but do not be surprised if the tiggers wipe the floor with them. Man, all this Georgia talk has really put some urine in your wheaties. It just makes me so sad for you.

I’ve predicted a Tennessee loss for the last 4 weeks and they’ve proven they belong time and time again. Maybe not as talented as LSU but a heck of a lot more heart. Vols win big 31-13. And keep this in mind, it takes more than luck to win the SEC. UGa is certianly a different team than the one UT whipped earlier this year but whip us they did.

Missouri goes down and so does BC; end of the fairy-tales. WV smashes Pitt and beats OSU for the championship. UGa (hopefully) gets the Rose Bowl but they better be ready since they will probably face USC.

A good year for the Dawgs, and congrats to the Vols.

I think Les Miles needs to stop worrying about LSU being ranked ahead of GA. WV will win by at least 30 and neither GA or LSU will go to the NC. They might lose the SEC championship if they don’t focus. LSU doesn’t have the offense to be a NC and GA was too young at the beginning of the season to be a NC. All I want for Christmas is a BCS bowl. GOOO DAWGS!!

Tenn won their last two games by a total of 3 points against the bottom of the barrel of the SEC.

Against Vandy they won by 1 point and lucked out when Vandy just missed a field goal with 38 seconds to play. Vandy is 5 and 7 on this season.

Against Kentucky they won by 2 points in Quad Overtime. KY missed a chip shot field goal in OT. Kentucky is 7 and 5 this season.

If anyone has backed into anything it is UT backing into the SECCG.

The GA / UT Game is in the history books - it’s already two months old and Dan’l Boone and that ugly Coon Dog whipped the Dawgs. But, LSU is going to pound UT into the ground.

In all seriousness congrats to UT and LSU and I do hope that the best team wins on Saturday. I have to do all I can to be sarcastic about us not being there even though everything I have stated here is the absolute truth. UGA probably has one of the top 3 toughest schedules in the nation next year and we will know for sure if this loaded, youthful, and hungry team will be up for the challenge.

I graduated from UGA and I’ll be the first to tell you that UGA does not belong in the BCS Championship game. Had we taken care of business in week 2 against South Carolina, all of this would be moot. UGA would have been SEC East Champions (yes, UT fans, UGA is Co-Champion with UT this year with UT going to the game tomorrow based on the first tie-break) and lined up for the big game. UGA did not and we need to get over all the “This team beats this team and that team beats that team and then we play for the BCS title.” 10-2 is a wonderful year. This was a rebuilding year for us. We have 3 freshmen on the O-line. How do you win 10 games playing in the SEC with 3 freshmen on the O-line? Next year shoud be a SEC Championship type year and the National Title talk can start when we win the SEC first. Stop trying to line up a BCS title and enjoy the way this year ended up!

If my Vols win, it will be on pure heart not superior talent, and everyone knows that. I think your picks are correct though because at this stage of the game, the winner is the one who wants it enough to give it their all, and I am not sure LSU still has that. I may be wrong, but I think the Vols will roll (and then get their butts kicked AGAIN in the bowl game…oh well).

LUCK: Luck is not holding McFadden to less than 100 yds. (true he did get his 100 well after the game was decided in the 2nd half) Luck is not coming from 24-9 against Vandy (true UT was lucky/fortunate Vandy missed a 49 yard field goal) but remember UT made defensive stops the entire 4th qtr. and pushed Vandy back out of normal FG range. Luck is not dominating SC for a half, then getting dominated in the 2nd half, but still MAKING the plays when the chips were down. Luck is not going to KY and selling out everything you have to block a chip shot field goal again when the chips were down.Sometimes teams know how ot make plays, and this years UT team may have that knack.I’d say after it is all said and done, they have as much business in the title game as any other team that is sitting at home. All teams had some fortunate breaks this season. UGA for example, at VAndy with Vandy getting ready to win the game, but for some unknown reason turned the ball over.UGA was lucky there. It WAS NOT luck that UGA drove down the field and hit their FG to win the game.Rather, they executed like most decent, good, or great teams do.SOme will say you create your own luck.

FlaDawg conveniently forgets to mention that the Vols beat Ky in overtime who BEAT LSU in overtime. FlaDawg also conveniently forgets to mention that we stopped McFadden cold, something LSU could not do inspite of having a roadmap drawn up by the Vols on how to do it.

The Vols may have “backed” into the title game, but they beat the crap out of the so called “co champion” to do it. If you are going to recite “history” FlaDawg, then consider telling the whole story. Yes you “beat” Florida, but I still would love to see you play against a healthy Tebow…but thanks for getting us into the title game, rather than being the “co-champion” with Florida and sitting home instead of at “the dance” like you are doing.

And needed your own miracle against Vandy this year. You beat a banged up FLA. and and Auburn team that starts BRANDON COX!

This year as well as the next three. Oh! and by the way, nobody gives up in College Football. Anybody can beat you if you don’t bring your game. This season is testimony to that fact!

Even though UGA is terribly overrated right now with marginal talent, I would laugh my tail off if they somehow backed into the national championship game.

What a joke of a season. Thank you Bowl Championship Series for creating a national championship that really isn’t even a championship at all.

Ofcourse Tennessee will win. The SEC east is way better than the SEC west. And we have more teeth!!! (except for Tennessee)

I would be surprised if Tubberville goes from the 2nd best job in the West to the 4th best job. But not shocked.

Next year Tennessee, Georgia and Florida will all be in the Top Ten at the same time during some point of the season.

Georgia’s got one big problem when it comes to competing for a National Championship next year: Their schedule. Check it out.

Sat, Aug 30 Georgia Southern

Sat, Sep 06 Central Michigan

Sat, Sep 13 South Carolina * at Columbia, S.C.

Sat, Sep 20 Arizona State at Tempe, Ariz.

Sat, Sep 27 Alabama * Athens, Ga

Sat, Oct 11 Tennessee * Athens, Ga.

Sat, Oct 18 Vanderbilt - Athens

Sat, Oct 25 LSU * at Baton Rouge, La.

Sat, Nov 01 Florida * at Jacksonville, Fla.

Sat, Nov 08 Kentucky * at Lexington, Ky.

Sat, Nov 15 Auburn * at Auburn, Ala.

Sat, Nov 29 Georgia Tech at Athens

That is why a one loss SEC team is better than an undefeated team for any other conference.

Advice to all of the bright (UT, UF, GT) folks who have invaded the UGA BLOG. It’s a 12 game season! One would think that UT understands this better than most, but in reading these post obviously not. Memory tells me that UT started 1-2 after getting absolutely WHACKED by Cal (boy what a juggernaut they turned out to be) and UF. Yet, the boys in K-town turned it around, got better and finshed a commendable 9-3. Worked out kinks, got better and are playing in the SEC CG as a result. Now for the Dawgs. Started out 4-2 after losing to a very mediocre SC and a blowout loss at UT. Ah, but we too got better (MUCH better), more experienced, found a reliable and consistent running game and finished a very impressive 10-2 (#4 ranking). See where I’m coming from? 12 game season, not 1 (as you like to point out to us as in 35-14). To the jack* who said that UT would now beat UGA by 31, does that mean that UF would now beat UT by 49??? I know this logic is probably far over your head. Unfortunately, logic doesn’t work well with a lot of UT fans. It must be the nauseating color of orange (if that’s what you call it) that has clouded their better (if they have any) judgement.

Anyway, as I said earlier, and in response to some of you who say UGA will be playing in some meaningless BCS Bowl, would you prefer your university receives a $7 million or a $1.5 million paycheck? Or better yet, how about the national (recruiting) exposure your university/program gets in a BCS Bowl via “prime time” compared to 11:00 in the am?

This may be too complicated for you UT folks to figure out, but in the end who cares…we never invited you to the UGA blog anyway.

But on the other side of the coin, if UGA somehow makes it through that schedule, they will have no problem at all differentiating themselves from the rest of the SEC pack and making it to the BCS Championship Game. Unfortunately, being a pessimistic Dawg fan, I don’t think they will make it through. At least two losses.

This is the AJC right? Dumba55 Fla: its your fault Tebow is 80% of your offense, thats why you lost, your team was Tebow. Tenn: You beat us, best thing you did all year, now beat LSU for us. I remember when we spanked you three years in a row, so do not talk trash, you have nothing to back it up. Especially any titles in the past ten years. For the rest of you non SEC fans, being a one or two loss team in the SEC is better then being a no loss team in any other division, example Fla spanking Ohio last year.

IT should be a great game and Ainge should carry you guys like he has most of the season.UT def. deserves to be playing for the title. They didn’t “back into” the game. UT knew exaclty what they had to do to make it….Win out and that is exactly what they did. MY fellow UGA fans…tip your hat to UT and LSU and wish them both luck…both teams that are playing at the Dome won the divisions out right and deserve to be there.

Now UGA FANS HEAR THIS…WE DO NOT DESERVE TO PLAY IN THE BCS TITLE GAME…I DON”T CARE WHAT THE RULES OF NOT WINNING YOUR CONFERENCE ARE ARE WHATEVER…YOU HAVE TO WIN YOUR CONFERENCE OR AT LEAST YOUR DIVISION TO MAKE IT TO THAT GAME. We have had a great season!!!!!!! We are goingt o play in 1 of the top 5 Bowlgames that you can play in. We will be ranked no lower than 10th depeding on that bowl games results at the end of the year.We should be very proud of this team and how far they have come this year. NExtr year looks to be a very promising year for UGA. Good core group coming back..younger guys with exp. coming back…great class coming in. We should be excited as we are. This team cam a long way from the UT game…they could have folded up shop but they fought and look at happened. Don’t be dillusional or crazy. Just tip your hats to the teams playing and get ready for a great boewl game!!!!! GO DAWGS

I love the Dawgs, and I will be happy if they when whatever Bowl in which they find themselves playing ( and they will win). They’re a mostly young team and have had a terrific year. The Bulldogs are only going to get better.

But they’re not going to be the No. 1 BCS team THIS year. Let’s be proud of what the Bulldogs can control (winning their own games), and not get screwed-up over what they can’t control (other teams losing to help their poll position). Great job Dawgs and Coach Richt! WOOF!

Tony is right. LSU has not played well the second half of the season. Now they look to be in worse shape than they have all year. I heard they are a 6-7 point favorite over Tennessee and that is a complete joke. I really wish Georgia could play them because I’d feel confident about winning our 3rd SEC championship in 6 years, but Tennessee deserves to be there and I think they want it a little more than overhyped LSU. Just my two cents.

Would those that keep saying UGA is a co-champion for the SEC east please exit the gene pool. If KY had beat TN, you would never have allowed TN to say the same thing. TN won it fair and square unfortunately. UGA should have taken care of business against a ho-hum SC team (AT HOME) and then not gotten SLAUGHTERED by TN. To say you are co-champions is just silly and makes you look petty and stupid. It also takes away how special it is to win the SEC East so if UGA wins it next year or whenever, it no longer matters because if someone else has the same record as you, they can then claim co-championship. TN is the SEC East champion this year as much as it pains me to say it. Have fun in the Orange Bowl Dawgs.

If it makes you Dawgs happy to come on here and put down Tennessee or talk about your ranking then go right ahead. If Tennessee sucks so bad then why is Georgia ranked 4th? Apparently all the statistics (and people) didn’t penalize you much for losing to us….and a miserable South Carolina.

My comment is about the game tomorrow. UT struggles (to put it mildly) to beat the two worst teams in the SEC for the last two games they play in regular season. Tomorrow they play one of the best teams in the country.

This is not a tough call - but we will both know tomorrow. If I am wrong I will state it. Will you?

Peaple, you’re all getting worked up about things that don’t matter. Facts are facts, and rules are rules. None of us make them, but we are abliged to play by them, and they are: 1) The only “championships” are those represented by a trophy. East side, West side, division champs or co champs, the rule is the rule. You play for the championship based on the rules, not who is best. 2) The Vols and Tigers are playing for the SEC championship because they met the criterior to play. It is irrevelant who they each beat or lost to. 3) The BCS and poll voters don’t give a damn about who you beat or lost to earlier. They only care about who they think is best TODAY, and that’s the Dawgs. We’er going because we earned it, and it’s their rule, not ours. 4) Coulda, woulda, shoulda is fodder for mindless fans. What was and is are the only things of importance. 4) Tenn and LSU are meeting for the SEC, but “today”, the Dawgs are considered the best because they are the hottest and showed it with a strong instead of a mediocre finsh to the season. Good luck to the Vols and Tigers, but neither of you are good enough “today” to handle the Dawgs, trophy or not.

We will never know what would happened if the 2 teams played today. Plus it does not matter. I hate seeing UT in tomorrows game instead of us, but they EARNED it. Congrats UT. Keep the Championship in the East. Send Miles to Michigan in a whimper.

The Bulldog nation just needs to sit back and enjoy an incredible year. I don’t care what anyone says, NOBODY expected us to be 10-2. Too Young. It sure makes next year look reeeeall good. I hope we play USC in the Rose. A win there would be killer for recruiting and exposure.

Everybody that has posted a comment on here is correct in some form or fashion. First I’m a Bulldog but I’m also a realist when it comes to the possiblities that the school presidents and BCS present. Tennessee and Georgia both won the SEC East and Tenneesse plays this weekend because they beat GA soundly (no debate) congrats. I don’t think this GA team would have been hot and attractive without that lost. Every now and again you need to get smacked in the face and GA was on UTs schedule when UT really needed something to happen. GA not playing this weekend is a letdown because you always want to play for the Conference Title,but when you can’t do that you look at the systema and how it is set up and then you find what will work best for you and in this case GA not playing works well for their fate simply put. Yes GA are scoreboard watchers this weekend but that doesn’t mean others want watch GA in a BCS game. The BCS game pays $17M or something like that and GA has put themselves in a viable postion to deserve that…why? The BCS rewards late season winning over late season losing. Lose early and recover and you may put youself in a good postion (see GA this year). Lose late no matter to who it is wrecks your chances. LSU even with a win shouldn’t jump GA because GA didn’t play and beating a much lower ranked UT team won’t do it. I would like to see UT win it because their in the East and their is no way UT could jump GA plus I’d love to see LSU vs Michigan in the Captial One Bowl because of the plot. Who ever loses the SEC title game should be shut out of a BCS and the Wineer along with GA should be BCS Bowling cause the Conference is just that tough. As long as Ohio STate doesn’t play for the National Title I’m at peace. If WV take care of business and Mizzou gets beat the debate should be over who is going to play WV. But wasn’t the BCS suppose to match #1 and #2, which would mean it would be #1WV and then…. exactly. no clear cut choice. The BCS is all political now and the voters know that and the CPU doesn’t but the CPU has the final say (with the Human element “averaged out” of course). Whoever finished #1 and #2 should play PERIOD. We all know what will resolve this but it will never happen because of this “regular season is so exciting” crap and “they are still students” crap so let the chips fall where they may and get ready for more and more debate.

Most attractive possible matchup: UGA vs USC in Rose. I’m ready to make up for how bad UT played against this weak conference. Oh by the way GA has Arizona St next year so going 2-0 against the LCC (Left Coast Conference) would be great because I’m still mad at Auburn and Arkansas for getting beat like a drum again the LCC’s chairman…USC.

No, see above about it being a 12 game season. Same happened to the DAWGS in K-town. We didn’t show up and UT took care of business. UT is NOT better than UGA, just like Bama is NOT better than UT.

Anyone who says the SEC championship is not important should never sound off in a “which conference is best” debate ever again. Why is it Vols destroyed UGA and got destroyed by Bama? I’ll tell because in the best conference in the nation there is only one patsie Ole Miss, and that is going to change. the Dawgs were lucky to beat Vandy as were the Vols. People get real, I love my team as much as you love yours but get a grip, not my sarcasm from above that some idiot took seriously, he thought I said Stafford won the heisman, he had no problem with me saying Georgia would never lose again. You guys came in second in the SEC east because you lost to the Vols, plain and simple.

Next season may Actually see LSU, UT and UGA in the preseason top 10, I look forward to it next season and UT playing in Neyland south (sanford) stadium, but this season we won and will win the best conference in all of college football.

I just have to share with you guys. I’ve had a channeling experience with Lewis Grizzard and he wanted to convey a few things ….so here goes.

Hello to you my Dawgfren’s from a place that’s even more beautiful than Sanford Stadium on a Saturday afternoon or even Moreland, Ga.

What in the name of Weyman C. Wannamker (a great American) is going on down there?? Erk Russell and I were sitting on the beach this morning, he smoking a stogie, having a brew, and I sippin’ on a Co-Cola..remember it was early, pondering all this bowl conversation and utter non-sense. Never in our “holy days” have we heard so much whining and snipping about who’s going where, playing who, and ripping each other to shreds. I’ll give you a couple of tips that may give you solace until after tomorrows games. Missouri is going to the national championship??? Show me !!!! That’s their motto…live with it.. West Virginia..now there’s another story..How many times have you heard West “By God” Virginia?? I ain’t saying nuthin’ but they may have someone in their corner. If Ohio St. goes to the national championship game it’ll only prove to all of you that the Big Man up here DOES have a sense of humor. But if things work out that my glorious Alma Mater from the fair city of Athens should they ascend to the Big Game,the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl fear not. For Erk will be there along side Willie Martinez in the warm ups, knocking head with the defensive players saying, “get after their A**es”. Don’t fret Dawg fans, it’s gonna be alright. Erk and I were playing golf on 2 Saturdays this season…you guess the ones..but we’ve got an eye out now. And remember what I always told you…God IS a Bulldawg !!! And in the words of my good friend Furman Bisher…Amen…Selah…

P.S. Tony Barnhart ain’t using my office is he???

MolinATL, we didn’t list ourselves as SEC East Co-Champs the freaking SEC did check their website. I don’t consider us co-champs UT beat us. Nice for UT fans to smack talk on here (UF and Bama) to us this year about azz kickings. They were on the receiving end of three so I guess that does make them somewhat experts on the subject.

Seriously, enough with the co-champions nonsense. There are tie breaker rules in place so that a representative can be chosen to compete for the Championship.

By beating Georgia during the regular season, Tennessee wins the tie-breaker…therefore, there isn’t a tie ANYMORE!!! If Georgia is co-champion then why aren’t they playing this weekend. ANSWER: Because they didn’t WIN the East…TENNESSEE did.

As a former SEC track and field athlete, I’d take an SEC Championship over finishing 4th in the country any day. No one remembers who finished 4th….

Hey would some of you Vols fans: do all of us a favor and call the SEC headquarters over in Birmingham and ask them whether UGA and UT are co-champions? Okay?

Many UT fans are the college football equivalent of Boston Red Sox fans! Whaaaaaaaa! They have an eternal inferiority complex. They have to invade a UGA/AJC blog and cry their orange-teers over, “no respect,” “no-one likes us (them),” etc. Is Rodney Dangerfield an alumn? Quit expecting fans of the other SEC schools to kiss UT’s fanny. It ain’t happening! There are PLENTY of UGA fans on this blog (including your’s truly) who’ve given kudos to the Vols for their achievement in 2007 and that they’re in the SECCG. Take that for a HUGE pat on the back and go on. If your Vols are SECE Champs, most of you fans certainly don’t act like it. When UGA has won the SECE and the SEC (which has happened more than a couple of times this century), I’ve not given a tinker’s damn what any other fan thought, had to say, etc. and not once have I ever been on the Knoxville, Nashville or whatever newspaper sites (couldn’t care less).

UGA could be in this weekend’s game just as easily as UT. A bounce here and here and the Big Orange would be watching. Did you forget the UK game? Bet you just sat back and relaxed during the last 40 minutes of THAT telecast, huh? R i g h t. Vandy? South Carolina? See, both teams were pretty darn close to Atlanta.

And lest we forget, the “experts” said that UGA would finish 3rd (and some said 4th) in this years SECE race. Ole Georgia didn’t do too shabbily.

So come on board and brag on your team but quit crying over what other fans think of UT. Maybe the Vols will REALLY do something this weekend and actually put LSU away in a decisive fashion (?)…

War Eagle: When I said holes, I meant more of a need for improvement than an actual loss of a person in a specific position. We may have 72 or 85 returning, but not all of them gave us what we needed this year.

Since a lot of our fortune this year rode on the kind of game Cox was having, I see the QB as one of the most crucial positions we have. However, I didn’t really see much in our backup QBs to give me comfort. Maybe they’ll develop in the off-season. Let’s hope so.

Whether or not Tuberville’s staying, I’d like for him to say so now.

Talking about an idiot! P.S. Since the end of ‘01, UT is 51-24 and UGA is 63-15 with 2 SEC Championships (something you all haven’t sniffed in awhile). Thanks for informing us folks that we are on the “upswing”. Not that all of the W’s, SEC Champ’s and top-tens hadn’t signaled that already. Hint: note the use of sarcasm there too!

MTNDAWG You or some other Dawg said ten years not me! It must suck watching your team lose two years in a row to the Vols, maybe brings back the memory of that 9 yr streak from not so long ago. How is next October going to be any different? Last time the game was at Neyland south you got half a hundred dropped on you. This year Knowshon played, yep Lil’ Herschel was there and played, so was super Stafford the 4th best QB in the league, 5th if you want to count McFadden.

I actually pull for the Dawgs when they are playing anyone but the Vols, would love to see them go to the rose bowl and lay the smack down on an overrated USC, but alas accept your position as East Div Runner up due to getting blown out by the Big Orange. Also this Blog is about College football not UGA, and the Big Orange Nation has no borders we are a six star national program!!

To Fla Dawg

Hey, you asked if I would come on Monday to admit to our demise if LSU kicks our behind tomorrow. I would, but I will be 5 time zones east of here Monday morning and probably groggy as hellz from the red eye flight, and probably will not get a chance. So I will own up to the obvious now. LSU has a lot more talent and probably will beat us to death. As a realistic Vol, I have to admit that we got our clock cleaned by Fla, Al, and Cal (all played their best game of the season against us and we could not stop anyone other than GA for most of the season). So, I eat crow in advance if that team shows up, and I will gladly agree with you then, that TN sucks and is an imposter.

That said, I do think that TN could upset them. When we are up (GA and Ark) we can be pretty good. When we are down (Fl, AL, Cal), we couldn’t stop the Vienna Boys choir. When we are average, we blow out the other team in the first half, then let them come back and have to squeek by in OT. Truthfully, I do not know which is the real Tennessee, I really do not.

So…do you know what the Vols and Billy Graham have in common…both can bring 100,000 people to their feet shouting JESUS CHRIST (I hope I do not get struck by lightning for saying that).

So, my bet is on the Vols that played you and Arkansas.

Lay in on brother. Amen to everything you’re saying.

The “experts” were correct, however. They just picked the wrong race-the national race, not the SEC.

I’m also tired of being berated by the whiners who say “You didn’t even win your conference race.” We finished 10-2 and finished strong. Our record matches the best record in the conference. We lost one game early in the season we should have won. We lost the second game in a situation that we should have been more competitive. We beat some conference powerhouses and didn’t falter after the Tennessee game. If we had lost a game late in the season we would not be ranked as high. There were some times during the year that TENN didn’t represent themselves very well either.Complain all you want, that’s the way the system works.

Great year to be a DAWG, no matter how the rest of the season plays out.

Was Georgia NOt lucky that Vandy fumbled in the red Zone that handed georgia a win ? Georgia doesnt play out of their conference like Tennessee does. In fact this is the first year in many Georgia even played a team outside of the SEC that before the year was thought to maybe be a top 25 team.

UGA could have very easily been in this weekend’s game. The East was much closer than the West. For instance, if UGA hadn’t beat the Gators, the GATORs would be in the SECCG.

dawggonetruth, what true dawg fan on here ever said we deserve to play for the Nat’l title? Nobody with half a brain. Somebody brings it up in the media and everybody thinks its OUR idea. I for one don’t think we deserve it. We also didn’t rank ourselves #4 in the country either. A LOT of other people who vote for those things did. The things we didn’t do is get off the bus in Knoxville or have any kind of game planned against SC other than chunk the ball 45 times when we should have been running it like everybody else did all year. And don’t start with the “We schedule blah, blah blah”, crap either with us. You probably think your wins over Notre Dame were quality wins. If you think that you are closer to being a Tech fan than UT fan. I really don’t care who wins Saturday night. Won’t affect us either way. We are looking at the Orange Bowl or possibly the Rose Bowl IF Missouri slips up. Fiesta if they don’t. After not getting off the damn bus in Knoxville this year that ain’t a bad consolation prize. Of course I would rather be where you guys are at Saturday night but I am not crying about it or putting you guys down or discounting your season. You guys talk way too much smack and really don’t sound too appreciative of the opportunity in front of you. That I don’t understand. The Dawgs are #4 in the country and I am proud of my team for doing that.

Smoky Top, you sound reasonable. I too pull for all things SEC when playing in the bowls and out of conference.

Tommy, Oklahoma State has as many wins as Cal. If Cal wins tomorrow they will equal Georgia Tech’s record. You play UCLA next year; we play Arizona State. Nuff said about that.

You guys always play one good intersectional team, but you don’t have to play a BCS out of conference team like UGA, UF and South Carolina do. Your other three non-conference games are no different than anyone else’s. This year you played an average Southern Miss team and then Arkansas State and La. Lafayette. Troy beat both of those like a drum and won the Sun Belt Conference. We played W. Carolina. We played two BCS teams and the Sun Belt Conference Champs and you played a single BCS non-conference opponent.

Over the next two years you guys play UCLA twice, Wyoming, UAB, N. Illinois, Ohio (NOT OSU) and Memphis. We play Arizona State twice, Oklahoma State, Ga. Tech twice, Ga. Southern, App State and Central Michigan. That is 5 BCS teams vice 2 for your guys.

Congrats to the Vols. You have had a very resilient season. You deserve to be in the SEC Championship game. You need to focus on the LSU and not come up with some bogus scheduling myth. Good luck.

Matty P:

You are exactly right. The UGA haters are just seething with rage that UGA overachieved this year and is ranked 4th in the BCS.

Where are all the bashers that told us that UGA WILL NEVER play for or win a national title… REPEAT NEVER. it probably won’t happen this year, granted, but with Georgia’s regular season over IF three particular teams win on Saturday UGA is playing for the national title this year.

The fact that we are this close is their worst nightmare.

Here is a little history lesson with the real situation:

UGA had a dominant program in the early 80’s. National title and then three more top shelf teams that were certainly competing for the national title but fell just short. UGA finished in the top 6 four straight and notched an impressive three SEC Championships.

Dooley’s Dawgs quickly declined in the mid 80’s with three straight unranked finishes! His 1987 team being the last good team before he retired with a #13 finish.

Georgia dominated FL even when FL had the better team that decade.

Goff came in and had one great team in 1992 that turned the ball over 5 times against TN and still was driving to try to win the game at the end, but fell short. The FL game came down to the last 30 seconds but FL won to begin what would be a streak of nightmare proportions for UGA. UGA finished with it’s highest ranking in 8 years at $8. Goff’s teams went downhill quickly from there with particular problems on defense and UGA went unranked for four straight years.

TN had very strong teams in the 90’s and dominated UGA. Most of the games weren’t even close in the early to mid 90’s…they got closer in the late 90’s due to UGA getting better under Donnan and TN declining a little.

FL had some of the best teams in the country and were a perennial top 10 team. UGA coudn’t even compete in the mid 90’s with the Gators, but again FL went downhill a little and UGA got better under Donnan. UGA finished 10th in 1997 and got closer to UT and UF, but was getting rare wins over them in the late 90’s.

Enter Richt who said that he needed to help blow the lid off the Georgia program. He began by beating TN a few times in a row and beating FL early in his tenure and bringing UGA a long long awaited SEC Championship. Then he played for another and lost, then he played for another and won. He beat tech 7 straight times so far and his current seniors are 2-2 against the Gators. FL still has top shelf teams, but UGA is much better under Richt and is matching up with FL to make it a very competitive series.

TN went way downhill for a few years but has resurged under Fulmer and has beaten the Dawgs handily two in a row to become the team that UGA fans want to beat as badly now as any team other than FL.

In This new century UGA has been knocking on the door of national championship opportunities, though without success in the first 7 years.

Evidence that the Dawgs are getting close.

Wins:

71 wins in 7 years. Winning games is a part of it and you can count the number of teams throughout the country who have won more games than UGA,in this period, on one hand.

Conference Titles: Only LSU has played for more conference titles in this period than the Dawgs… not FL, not TN, not Auburn etc… only LSU has won more SEC titles in this period than UGA.

Competitive with Every team in their League:

UGA has beaten LSU twice in a row (badly) TN has a two game streak, but UGA has overall scoreboard and is 4-3,I believe, under Richt. UGA beat Auburn badly twice in a row and the current seniors are 2-2 against FL. UGA can hang with ALL their main conference competitors.

Consistant high rankings:

Five out of seven years, UGA has finished in the top 10 including #3 and currently #4 with one game left. Richt has amazingly finished in the top 25 in EVERY year he has coached at UGA. How many coaches can say that?

The national title has been elusive since 1980 because after 1983 UGA went way downhill for 15 years, plain and simple. In only a handful of years, did UGA have a legit top 10 team and that is what it takes to compete for the conference and national titles.

Under Richt, a national title is the only thing he has yet to accomplish…and we are getting too close for comfort to those who hate all things Red and Black.

The SEC is overrated and is in love with itself.

The Big 10, ACC, and Big 12 also have physical teams too to play every week. They may not have pedigree top 10 teams but the physical toll is the same. The SEC fans are delusinal and are starting to appear inbred.

All the talk about who would beat who is meaningless. College football is random enough for anything to happen. If you follow the logic of A beats B who beat C therefore A could beat C- you would find that every team is both the best and worst in the nation.

The only meaningful talk is about the soap opera of championships and bowls. And it seems to me that both Tenn and Ga have found their way to glory in their own different paths. I don’t think there is a compelling case that either team is better off than the other in the present. The SEC championship is important, but so is a high ranking and high profile BCS berth. There is some irony that Georgia has become more relevant nationally while having lost to UT, but this irony exists everytime a team with a loss is ranked higher than the team they lost to. The frustration of Tenn fans can be blamed on late season syndrome, recent memory shows more impressive wins with Georgia and more relevance to the national picture. Is it “fair” that the tide of emotion and interest seems to shift toward Georgia right now? Thats doubtful, but the question is irrelevant I think. You vols fans will feel better when the national championship talk dies out. If you beat LSU then you will have both the conference championship and a major BCS berth, and so pretty much all the bragging rights. If you lose and Georgia goes on to win impressively against Oklahoma or USC, then history may remember the dogs more fondly.

I don’t think history will remember anything more fondly than that HOB NAILED BOOT though, WOOF WOOF WOOF- hahahahahaha.

After reading Barnhart’s latest article on who will be in what bowls, it occurs to me that the only ally UGA may have would be Slive. Reading his feelings about how Auburn got shafted a couple of years ago, it seems he doesn’t want that to happen again to the SEC. If you read Barnhart & Dodd @CBS sportsline, it seems to be a done deal that UGA will be Orange Bowl bound..no matter how it plays out. My concern, after reading all these blogs, is that UGA fans will be SO downcast if the Dawgs don’t make the Rose Bowl. Politics, politics, politics…it’ll be what it’ll be..Can you say President Gore??? No hanging chads here, I think..Seems like the fix is in and Orange however nice it can be will slump a bit if it’s UGA and VaTech again.

Could someone please explain to me how Hawaii warrants a BCS bid? Puhleeze, don’t give me that undefeated BS. According to the commentators at the Hawaii/Boise St. game, Hawaii’s schedule strength was/is ranked #119 in Division 1A. Isn’t that last?!? I know it’s not their fault given their conference affiliation, but you need to play somebody. That’s pathetic. Gtlinz, your comments are laughable. Wake Forest is one of the best teams in the Athletically Challenged Conference. Vandy is #11 in the S.E.C. Big 10? My daughter is a freshman at Appalachian State. Give me your address and I’ll have her send you a t-shirt with the Michigan/App. St. score on the front. Let any of those teams in the other conferences play week in and week out and you’ll see why the regular season takes its toll. The difference is speed, bro, speed. Ask Ohio State. Oh, they’re 0 and forever against the S.E.C. in bowl games. Here’s how we view football in the S.E.C. and it’s how we raise our children. Again, referencing my daughter: “Baby girl, what does 2 + 2 equal in the South?” “3rd and 6 Daddy.” I don’t know about our inbred leanings, but at least we know how to spell. It’s “delusional.” Go Vols!!! Go S.E.C.!!!

Chase,

Tell yourself whatever you want to. It may not be right, but it is quite likely to happen at least in the AP Poll. LSU is right behind UGA in the AP.

You are mixing polls in your blog. You cite that they would have to jump Kansas, VT, Mizzou, and WVU before getting to the Dawgs. That is true in the BCS poll.

Face it. Both are 2-loss teams. If LSU wins (especially if they win convincingly), the fickle sportswriters WILL vote the SEC champion OVER a team that didn’t even make the championship game. Some are likely to realize that LSU will have just beaten a team that convincingly whipped the Dawgs.

The 134 votes that you count on are less than 10% of the total votes. It’s a case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

Besides the AP, who’s to say what will happen in the Harris and Coaches’ polls, much less what would happen with the computers? A win over UT would likely add to their SOS which figures heavily in computer polls.

The good news for you is that it doesn’t matter. LSU should take care of business against UT. As SEC champs they go to the Sugar Bowl and will likely meet Hawaii. With Miles on his way out the door, LSU will be in turmoil and will lose to UH. The games that they have lost this year (UK and Ark) have been in shootouts. They won’t be able to keep up with the barrage that Hawaii throws at them.

WVU will kill Pitt. Ohio State is sitting pretty at a SOLID #3 across the board with only one loss and a sizeable gap between them and you.

No matter what happens in the OK-Mizzou game, the pups won’t make it to the BCS Championship. Pity, it would make a better game than what we are likely to see. A Mizzou-WVU or WVU-Ohio State national championship game does exactly excite me.

The Dawgs should be looking for the best BCS matchup that they can find. A Rose Bowl matchup with USC would be a very attractive game. The Rose Bowl people are inclined to a Big Ten-Pac Ten matchup, but they aren’t stupid enough to dip all the way down to Illinois and pass up a marquee matchup (are they?).

Frankly, an Orange Bowl matchup with the VT/BC winner would be a huge letdown.

I’m grateful that UGA is going to a BCS game most likely, but…it would SUK if UGA plays VT/BC in the Orange Bowl. UGA beat VT last year and with LSUs demolition of them earlier this year…UGA will prove NOTHING by beating them again. It ain’t gonna happen, but USC/UGA or OU/UGA would be much more appealing. Heck, I’d rather see them play an undefeated Hawaii team in the Sugar Bowl.

My friend you are absolutely right, but there is NO way they remain at 15. Too many teams above them have to lose. For instance either Va Tech or BC MUST lose. They only need to pick up one position. And you know how pollsters don’t like late losses. Tennessee would plummet if they lose to LSU and with Miles now staying and NOT leaving I suspect you are going to see a highly energized LSU team.

Look, I want the Rose as much as anyone, and it may happen, but don’t count on it.

UGA won their last five games easily (all by at least 10 pts) against future bowl teams. In about the same span, LSU lost twice, had a narrow escape against UA, and didn’t look great in beating Ole Miss (winless in conf). If LSU beats UT by more than 17 pts…then I could see the leap-frog…but otherwise, it doesn’t make since.

LSU “guys” dressed as Princess Jasmine from the Aladdin movies dance around the whole section like their auditioning for a belly-dancincing class. And I DO MEAN “BELLY-DANCING”…

(pause for throwing up violently…)

UT fans really aren’t that much better, but they aren’t THAT bad as LSU’s. I just REALLY could’nt stand looking at all that orange in the dome in 2004. YEEECH! Burnt orange vs. bright orange, my God the horror! My eyes only wished they saw the glory that night, because the alternative had me coorblind for 6 hours.

But like I said Go Vols b/c LSU ppl talk too much shhh and want to fight other teams fans who talk back to them. The 2003 CG and 2005 CG had more fights than a New Year’s Eve Widespread Panic concert has weed. And all I heard in 03 was “Arf arf arf haha UGA pusss- I mean puppies! Sorry sir we’re leaving now. C’mon yawl let’s go to dee see en en centah dey got a bar ovah deah!!” And WE’RE last place in the US for education? wow!

Thank the good Lord for 2005 and my boy, College Park’s own D.J. “Shock the world” Shockley. But anyone who went to North clayton High between 98-01 or lives in OUR neighborhood (yes, he lived around the corner from me off of Scofield Rd down past Godby Rd, which is a quick left off Old National Hwy, which is right off i-85 and 285, in CP, just for those who think I’M bs’in) would’ve told you that was going to happen. Now the Sugar Bowl was another story…. :-(

But AT LEAST I was spared the venomus spew that is the verbal support of the swamp things from Red Stick, LA by their perpetually inebriated fan base. Like my little stepdaughter says now, with a cute quirkiness to it I might add, GO DAWGS!!

TrillPhil,

I am with you, but I can’t go that far. I would pull for the Vols if they were playing the Swamp Dwellers but that is about it within the conference. And those AWFUL uniforms are the worst thing east of the Oregon Ducks. Clemson, I take you off of the all time worst Halloween Costumes.

Well Tony? As of 8:00pm Sat Night, you are 1 of 2 and I am 2 of 2. You picked the Vols to win by 1 point. I picked LSU by 10. I guess the fact that Flynn, Dorsey & Doucet were out made for my being off by 3 points. I picked Mizzou over Oklahoma - you picked Oklahoma. Let’s see who’s right on that one my friend. If Mizzou wins can I have your paycheck please?

Vols - your team played some great, physical ball tonight. I gotta tell you that those oranges played better against LSU than I thought they would. My hats off to you.

Tigers - Wow! Using backup QBs, Dorsey & Doucet out your offense scored enough to hang in and your defense scored and secured the win.

Congrats to both teams - a heck of an SECC Game! (Yes, even if LSU jumps the Dawgs in the ratings)

UT Fans:

The nextime us “loudmouthed Dawg fans” invite “you people” to our fair city for a championship game, or a peek into the 21st century, how about you try to focus on the task at hand and not the distractions. The coon hound was more focused on the game than the team was, but I guess that’s why you’re called “Volunteers”, because you played as if you had a choice of winning or not giving a shhh b/c everybody and they’re momma, and the OTHER TEAM’S HC, was talkin’ bout them Dawgs!

Oh well, can we “volunteer ourselves” to be the champs of the East then? Since you “volunteered” to not make 3 thirty yard field goals or didn’t try to throw downfield at all vs a beat up (and VERY OVERATED btw) LSU secondary or couldn’t score at least twice inside the red (and black) zone in the 2nd half or could barely lay a finger on the inexperienced second string “running QB” at all, and when you did he put the one you “volunteered” to break in a splint and laid nine more on your “voluntarily distracted” @$$e$?? I gave you all credit for beating us in October, but it seems now that you caught us “voluntarily” with our pants down, and if you “volunteered” to a rematch pre-2008 I don’t think your team would “volunteer” to be winners that day, just a thought…

Smokey < UGA for-everrrrrr!!!!

Good win LSU, but I still don’t like you

As for Tech: For the love of GA, please GROW UP!! Right now, Valdosta State, Albany State, and GA Southern can beat y’all EASILY.

And this is a small-school (Fort Valley St) student talking, not a Dawg alumnus…

BCS: No we DO NOT want play VT…again. Not even in the Orange Bowl (as Nick Cellini has predicted on the SEC wrap Up show a short time ago). Hell, lets see what we CAN (or can’t) do vs USC, or get the shot of all shots not named penicillin: the bcs ncg..? Why not, we have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain, especially for UGA to be in a REBUILDING YEAR..

But I’m just “volunteering” my 2c, how bout y’all? lmao @ UT btw

Did anybody catch the LSU/Vols score? There is no way that the Vols could lose that game. I mean with LSU’s starting QB out, there #1 defensive player out, and there starting RB and #1 WR out most of the game……or could they?

If WVU and MIZZOU LOSE…LSU WILL NOT JUMP UGA NOW….That was not a good enough showing in the SECCG to jump VaTEch, Kansas, and UGA!!!!

Hey OU and NEB LOST their Championship games and STILL PLAYED in the NCG…Georgia hasn’t lost in 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chase, when that happened for Nebraska and OU the computers played a much bigger role in the BCS rankings.

There are going to be lots of human voters who will not want a team that did not win their division and conference to go over the champion of said conference. You may be right, but I would not at all discount what these voters will do.

Chase, I hope you are right…but everyone is talking about it. In fact, the two teams mentioned mostly in benefiting from MO/WVU losses are LSU and VT.

Barny-

If UGA makes it to the NC game for the love of God and everything holy PLEASE, PLEASE do not pick them to win….you said Kentucky would win, you said Tennesse would win. You also said WVU would win. Please do not pick them your picking skills SUCK.

I know this is a logical thought process and that UGA fans are adverse to using or applying logic, but here goes. IF YOU CANT WIN YOUR OWN CONFERENCE, YOU CAN NOT PLAY FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. HOW COULD THE NCAA HAVE A NATIONAL CHAMPION THAT COULDNT WIN ITS OWN CONFERENCE. IT WONT HAPPEN. MOVE ON

If UGA had beat LSU in the SEC title game they would be #1 and playing for the NC. The news media will vote and encourage all to put LSU- Ohio State for the National championship game. It could be Rose or Orange Bowl for the dawgs.

Screw ESPN and its hate-Georgia, love-LSU nonsense. Screw the people that want to hug some stupid title game to their chest. Screw the politics and screw all the people who like teams with national followings.

It doesn’t make any d* sense to put a dull LSU team in the title match because they won a conference title game. It doesn’t matter because LSU isn’t as good as everyone thinks. The better team is Georgia. The Dawgs played better than LSU down the stretch — and didn’t lose any games. Georgia went 6 - 0. LSU, ahem, went 4-2. If LSU is so d* good, why didn’t they go 6-0?

If Georgia plays LSU, Dawgs win. Why don’t people get it? Right now, Georgia is better than LSU. RIGHT NOW. So Right now, Georgia deserves a titleshot.

Georgia vs. Ohio State

I would love to see the Dawgs play Ohio St. But, UGA did not win the sec conference title and that means a lot! Anyway the tv media (espn) wants to see LSU and OHIO ST play in the national championship game. All the dawgs had to do is beat the vols, but the dawgs went AWOL against the vols!! GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR DAWGS AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE VOLS!!

Wow! Who’d of thought WVa & Mizzou would both lose!? Not me!

Now to the National Championship Game; No.s 1 & 2 both lost. That means Ohio State should be No.1 and The Dawgs No.2. That is the way they have moved the ratings ALL YEAR. Ohio State WILL go to No. 1, BUT The Dawgs will get jumped by one or more teams and end up playing in a crap bowl. If the BCS had a policy in place that only conference champs could play for the N.C. then I would have no complaint. But changing the rules in the fourth quarter is wrong, wrong, wrong - and The Dawgs are going to get screwed - almost as bad as Auburn was a few years ago.

Hey Georgia Right Now, Ahem, both went 11-2 so screw your 6-0 logic. Defining difference b/w the two: UGA gets blown up by Tenn, LSU beats Tenn. Pretty simple, but apparently above your ability to comprehend. Perhaps your rose..uh black colored glasses are too hard to see out of.
