1) Regardless of who wins,there are now TWO major college programs in Georgia. Paul Johnson should win national coach of the year if Tech can pull this off. Jackets 31-24

2)Bama starts holding up fingers in this rivalry 41-9

3) Florida is the best team in the USA .Gators pour it on the ‘Noles 48-17

4) OSU - the best team money ($100 million) can rent. But OU wins big 45-17

5) If the ‘Beavs can handle USC, UO should be a cakewalk. Stae in the Rose 31-28

6) Cavaliers (the only school in the ACC named after a crappy subcompact sedan) ,deliver Tech a way early Christmas present with a 14-10 upset.

7) The ‘Ol ball coach looks downright mortal these days. hate to say it ,but Spurrier looked less clueless in the NFL. Tigers win the Who Cares Bowl 23-17.

8) Both Phil Fulmer AND Rich Brooks should have retired while their teams were attending New Years Day bowls regularly…Tennessee wins 3-2

9) Ralph Friedgen ALWAYS looks like he just had too much Thanksgiving dinner,buthis teams play hard every down. Terps Win ! Terps Win ! 24-17

10) Who Cares ? Syracuse should be I-AA and Cinncinati almost blew a 3 score lead (with less than 2 minutes to play) against West Virginia a couple of weeks ago.Either team would get killed by any team in the SEC. Somebody has to win because we have overtime now ,so what the Heck - Cinncinati 31-3

When you carry Georgia player arrests forward from year to year, nearly half of the Georgia players on the field during a given game have been arrested or charged with a crime. Richt should award little handcuff helmet stickers for each arrest. Some players would have two or three. This behavior is a disgrace to the University.

One thing I’ve never understood. When an AJC writer pens a column, it always has a positive slant toward Ga Tech, and a negative slant toward UGA. Considering our recruiting over the last five or six years, and the fact that we’ve beaten the gnats for seven years in a row, it would seem that the articles would be a little more balanced. Perhaps that’s why all my fellow accounting students told me that if I wanted an easy A, take a journalism class.

Actually Georgia is ranked 1st in the SEC in punt return yardage and has one of the SEC’s best punters in Brian Mimbs. “Worst special teams in the history of college football” might be a bit of an exaggeration Techie. Our kickoff coverage has been an obvious concern this year, but since Georgia Tech’s efforts at returning kicks has been equally futile (11th in the ACC) I am not too concerned about it tomorrow.

By Oledawg

November 28, 2008 1:15 PM | Link to this

Tony-Since I’ve beaten you on predictions every time (except 1) I appreciate you picking the bugs. Looks like I’ll win another one now. While your thoughts are in the right place, the rest of your brain took a holiday. If you suddenly think the coaches and players are sitting in Athens counting their victories instead of practicing against Paul’s type of football and with more players recovering from recent injuries and are available together and practiced as a team for two weeks for the first time in weeks, you are oviously hoping instead of predicting with facts. You left the entire UGA Offense out of the equation. Two weeks for Staff and other QBs to practice routes with receivers so that by now they all are playing from the same set of pants? That’s to be ignored? Good God, man… I want some of that stuff you are smoking. Couldn’t you at least explain that you think the offense will drop dead running out on the field? Fullbacks practicing precise leverage to open Knowshon a hole, receivers running new and precise patterns that GT has never seen, special teams putting together new plays with plenty of time to practice them, Defense practicing the triple option to limit how many running plays GT can run among other activities should at least give you pause. New, talented young players in old positions just for kicks?

Yes, I’ve thought from the start of the season that Paul Johnson could produce a viable team and have picked them routinely during the season. That’s why I’ve beaten you most of the time, Tony. Now you suddenly wake up on Tech and fall asleep on the Dawgs! Yes, he is capable of throwing a few surprise plays that he will get away with, but you won’t see them until after halftime since he doesn’t want Martinez to discover and defend in the 2nd half. And there are only a certain # of surprises he can run. If you don’t think the bugs have shown over 95% of their plays this year, you would be wrong. They still will make yards vs the D with old plays, but not enough to carry the game vs the UGA Offense. Now, I know that you are aware of these differences, etc., but to reach out and tag GT to win the game? Better be careful or we may begin to refer to you as Boner Turnhart.

We expect you and Bob to make coin-toss guesses on CSS, but Tee Martin was a surprise. You left Mark all alone with UGA almost as if you all are relinquishing the winner spot for the year. We thank you on behalf of Mark who sounded really bewildered at your choices.

No one has seen the UGA Offense as good as the one walking on the field tomorrow. You and other naysayers are in for a surprise if you honestly think this O is not going to make a huge showing and I’ve never stated scores or how badly the Dawgs might beat an opponent this year. I will now. Dawgs-38, Bugs-21. Staff, MoMass and Knowshon have early Christmas gifts planned for the last home game this year. Throw Green in the mix with all the receivers and backup running backs and you may get a glimpse of the error of your ways. I know, you have already decided that the Dawgs are not approaching this game with the same sense of rivalry as in the past and the bugs want revenge, but competition is there in this Dawg squad. “Rivalry” comes from “rive” which means competition. They may not be jumping up and down in the kennel prior to the hunt, but when they are turned loose on the field “Hunt” will be uppermost on their agenda. Believe it from someone who cautions against overoptimism. While it will be a battle the entire game, these Dawgs will come to hunt. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

UGA needs to use the pass to open up the running game. 2- Auburn doesn’t have it this year and ‘Bama is a power team, both on O and D. I think the Tide will wear down AU and pour it on in the second half. 3- I am goimg out on a limb on this one. FSU has the speed to compete, their D line can be awesome, and they can look like crap! I believe the good ‘Noles show up tomorrow.

This Friday’s completely fallible predictions——

(1) Georgia Tech has exceeded expectations for this season, while Georgia has disappointed the conference and title hopes of its fans. Tech players are playing with heart; UGA players are playing like their season has already ended. The Dawgs have got greater talent on paper, and seven years of history on their side. Does anyone smell the potential for an upset? Still, I pick the Dawgs over the Jackets by 10. Why? Because I don’t think the Jackets are quite ready for prime time just yet.

(2) Well, it’s not a certainty, but the outcome of this year’s Alabama-Auburn is pretty damn close. The Tide over the Tigers by 14+. The streak ends at six.

(3) Here’s the deal, Tony: Spurrier wanted to win SEC championships. Meyer wants to win them all. The cited stat is ancient history. The Gators over the Seminoles by 17.

(4) Oklahoma State as a program is getting better every season, but Oklahoma as a team is peaking this season. Sooners over Cowboys by 14.

(5) Oregon State is due for a Rose Bowl bid after nearly three decades of futility. Beavers beat the Ducks by 10.

(6) Virginia has shown signs of life, but Virginia Tech knows how to grind a lesser team in a close game. Hokes over the Cavs by 10.

(7) Speaking of futility … South Carolina’s comes to an end on Saturday. The is not Clemson’s year, and Dabo Swinney is not the Tigers’ coach of the future. Gamecocks over the Tigers by 10.

(8) Isn’t there a beer barrel or something at stake here? How bad is Tennessee’s offense? How bad is Kentucky’s defense after injuries? Not sure who the underdog is in this game, but I’ll be cheering for him. LOL

(9) Well after trying to figure out the ACC all season, the only pattern I can discern is that any ACC team I pick is virtually certain to lose against another ACC team. (That’s why I picked Virginia Tech above——because I secretly want UVa to win. But, if I tell you guys, does the pick really count? Does the college football gods really penalize ACC teams that I pick? Never mind … .) Boston College over Maryland by 13. Why? Well, why not? That’s all I got.

(10) Cincinnati could be this year’s Cinderella feel-good story. Syracuse is coming off an emotional upset win that is probably the highlight of the Orangemen’s season. Bearcats over the Orangemen by 17.

Good luck to all the teams for whom you cheer, and may the best teams win (they usually do).

If Stafford and Moreno cared as much about Georgie football as they did about drinking, dancing, and their draft status, Georgie might have lived up in part to its pre-season hype

however, once again Georgie has absolutely no impact on the national picture and might end up ranked lower than Tech if the Jackets win (they might have to win the ACCC to get a higher rank, though)

for those that put down the ACC conference, note that we are the strongest conference according to Sagarin, and our worst team beat the team that led the SEC East for like 5 weeks

This weekend will tell the story of ACC v SEC, but Tech has already demolished one SEC team this year, so it is ridiculous to make it seem like every SEC team is better than every ACC team. Tech is probably better than all of the SEC (on paper) other than Florida, Bama and Georgie; and Tech should beat Georgie b/c they have more to gain and are trending up while Georgie is trending down

who has Georgie beat this year that is any good? name one team. ASU sucks, almost lost to Kentucky and Auburn. Vandy held tough. Got blown out by Bama and destroyed annihillated and pummelled against Florida. Wow, South Carolina is probably your best win given how crappy Tennessee has played all year.

Tech has blown out Miami, and beat FSU to break that streak. We beat Clemson. all of those teams are better than South Carolina.

Well just goes to show, there are nuts on both sides.

I still say Dawgs by 10 and that is because I think that Johnson has gotten the team to believe in themselves, other than that I would say Dawgs by three touchdowns. Then of course there is the rain, the X-factor. Slows us down a bit, and if you are trying to make a cut, say like an option play, you could slip. Bring the deep cleats.

hey big bug;

if the bones bother you then you must really be up in arms over the seed pods all over the shrubs helmets! It’s a way for the coaches to recognize significant plays made by said player. gee I guess that was to much to consider for such a smart guy like yourself????

Dawgs will take a big hair dump on the bugs!

USC will do the same to the golden homers!! Fight On!!

The reason I have a hard time taking Georgia fans seriously is their priorities are out of whack! (Not to mention most of them never even attended a college) Football is EVERYTHING to them. Forget academics…forget all the other sports at the school…it’s FOOTBALL or nothing! The poor basketball team (which had a great season) couldn’t sell out their games and couldn’t get much support until the end of the season. Not to mention the baseball team.

These people actually had a funeral for a DOG! You’ve got to the kidding me! I believe a Baptist minister did the service. What if the dog was Jewish?

Now I read yet ANOTHER football player was arrested.

Tony I hope you’re right but if not…get ready Georgia fans…the tide is beginning to change.

Question for Tech fans

Would you rather have a win against Georgia or lose to Georgia but have virginia upset Va Tech?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Go Gators.

By Tech Grad

Gator fan, I can’t speak for all tech fans, but I’ve had that same conversation at the office, and the consensus at the office was Beating Georgia would be more desirable than an ACC Championship.

Ok, this is now the 10th person I’ve seen pick Tech. We are so doomed. I’m tempted not to even DVR this game.

The Dooley Statue, The 1”+ of rain, the injuries on TEch, Stafford and Knowshon’s last game….it all points to the dogs.

Georgia rolls 54-3

Can someone explain to me why there is all this talk about USC making it the the National Title Game even if they don’t win the PAC-10, or possibly two Big XII teams reaching the BCS Title game? Last year, Georgia was basically told that, because you didn’t win your conference, you couldn’t play for the National Title. The way I’m reading this, if your in the PAC-10 or the Big XII, you don’t have to be a conference champion to play for the national title, but if you play in the SEC then God help you you had better win the conference or no BCS Title Game for you.

Wow, all you Jackets fans that had no faith in CPJ. Realize that we no longer have Chantastic Gailey as our HC. We now have a real football coach. The streak for UGA is over and GT can still claim the longest winning streak in the series. CPJ will keep this going for years to come. We lose no starters on O and only 4 on D. POTD.

Hey there pard, man that 3rd qtr was the Dawgs undoing for sure. Stafford & Co. were never the same I hope he comes back for the last go round.

Bamafan;

Congrats on the very impressive win!

Well the Trojans are puttin’ a whippin’ on the tarnished domers, not that any less was expected. I called it yesterday in the previous column, the Ducks would skin the Beavers and screw us out of our trip to the Bayou, so the Lizards are safe! We’ll have to settle for a 7th consecutive conf title and the umpteenth trip to Pasadena. Not that the Rose Bowl isn’t a nice way to spend new years day bu just not what we were planning when the season started. Fight On!!!

Blake,

You forget that we will be Co-Champions (if) OrSt. can mount a major comeback against the Ducks. As it stands we will win outright now. That aside to answer your question, we would be CO-Champions, our BCS ranking would have allowed us to still play for the NC as a result of the ranking we hold.

By SC Rules!!!

November 29, 2008 11:11 PM | Link to this

blake,

it;s real simple, OrSt. just got RUN by the Ducks so now were the Pac 10 CHAMPIONS OUTRIGHT! Even if the latter hadn’t of happened we would be Co-Champions and as such by our BCSranking been able to play in the NC game. Now that is a moot point as we will play PSU in the Rose Bowl. Thus y’all are SAFE from having to suffer a horrific beating at our hands!!!

…………BuLLdawg where the F are YOU? ACC 6 SEC 4. Damn those Basketball schools learned to play football. to all the GT fans that were scared did you not watch GT play all year? When the O holds on to the ball we can score fast or GRIND the clock. I stayed on Chip T’s UGA blog all game long saying I was not SKEERED and listening to the DAWGS talk Crap. Well, when the clock read 0:00 I was right and the JACKETS WON. UGA keep BOBO, Martinez and MIAMI keep NIX. We love you guys.

Georgia is still a better team than GT. UGA has lost the intensity it had prior to their first loss. Oh and as far as the SEC being weak…..as a whole it is a 7 on a 10 scale and the ACC is a 5. It’s funny aint it m? M you are a douche if the SEC is so bad then why are the best 2 teams in the country in the SEC and why will this be the 3rd SEC win in the NC? Jealousy pours from your words prick.

Hey Dog fans, It really does not matter which conference is better, ACC versus SEC, but what is important is that Tech just started a long term domination of your Dogs. Paul Johnson will have more of his recruits playing shortly in addition to the great players at Tech now, and we will begin to roll over you with this triple option. You have a year to study under Dooley as to how to defeat the triple option so get going. It will be fun to beat you again next year as you will not have a clue what to do again.

Tony, good call on the Tech game. Amazed you made it. Now when will you write about the ACC beating the SEC 6-4 head to head this season? UF and Bama are 2 teams out of 12. The other 10 are poor to fair at best.

By Chris in Bama

reggie ball,

pay attention to what i wrote! i am not a uga fan! i am simply saying that from what i watched on tv uga was lazy and still played within 3 points. i promise you that if they were playing like they are capable of then gt would have lost.

captain kirk,

an acc team will never have long term domination of any better half sec team get used to it.

forrest,

i agree that the sec only has 2 great teams and the other 10 suck and are still competitve with your elite acc teams.

on a side note bama will beat florida….as sc rules always says “time for grilled lizard”

SC Rules,

I started out not liking you wahtsoever but I have realized that you aren’t the typical USC fan, you give credit where credit is due. I think USC is actually a top 3 team this year and should at least play in the sugar bowl. Oregon State deserves respect too but I think they got lucky beating USC. Most teams that win the NC will lose 1 game. It’s how you recover from a loss that determines if you are a great team or not.

I am an SC fan from wayyyy back (I still smile when I see Sam the Bam scoring all those tds against the Buckeyes in my minds eye), but as evidenced by ancient and more recent history, the Y-uclans have made a habit of pi$$ing on the SC parade more than once.

Take care of business first, then give JoePa a reason to consider retirement after putting a serious beatdown on the Lions on New Year’s Day.
