I honeslty don’t understand how someone can write like you do… I mean did you even go to school, where did you learn how to write so terrible… I truly don’t know. And you keep saying UGA is going to lose… and yet they still havn’t. ‘UGA has yet to lose outside of Athens’, yet they have, UGA won’t pull it off, yet they do… Why don’t you try and read some books on ‘how to write’ or just talk to someone on your level.. maybe a 2nd or 3rd grader can tutor you… go dawgs (yeh not dogs buddy)

Alright now…are you all listening? Jeff, are YOU listening?? Good…now here’s the deal. You heard it here first. GA will beat FL tomorrow baby. Yep, it’s that simple. I will not provide stats or charts, nor will I fire up the powerpoint. Just understand, it will happen. Just as the Soxs kicked the Astros in a sweep of the WS, so will the dissed Dawgs come through on Saturday. Yep, every one thought the Astros would make a go of it with all of that strong pitching. Well, guess what? It didn’t happen. Yep, the games were close..but the series was not. How can one explain the unexplainable? You cant. It’s just one of those things. Likewise, I grant to all of you another one of those unexplainable things…the Dawgs will win Saturday. Enuff said. Peace.

I enjoyed Tuberville’s original comment, brash, bold and off the cuff. Thought his followup with Patrick was a wee bit soft but also thought Patrick showed the condescending attitude that persists at ESPN.

“Bite the hand that feeds you”? Give me a break… the SEC and now the ACC are doing just fine with or without ESPN.

The problem with ESPn is they are clueless in how to cover college football. They simply try to funnel the viewers into the championship game in a system that has no playoffs. Stated simply… doesn’t work for college football.

We CFB purists care infinitely more about our school, our conference and the race to that championship than we do about USC, Texas or whatever other contender ESPN would like everyone to rave over. We aren’t the NBA, the NFL, or even college basketball for that matter so trying to herd us really is like herding cats. ESPN is thus left clueless.

Oh, and for what it’s worth… Bulldogs gonna play tough in JAX.

I have to agree with Roe, who is Dan Patrick kidding? Without the NCAA, ESPN is 24 hours a day of dirt track stock car racing. Have all the fun you want with the BCS because it’s a joke but, should you really be playing with plutonium? Isn’t that stuff dangerous?

By the way, your new name is Iago and anyone reading this that happens to see Othello should warn him of you. You simply love causing trouble don’t you? This blog that they gave you is the best thing that’s happened in your professional life. You love writing these columns that get under people’s skin but before the blog you had to hope people were p** off enough to email you. Now you can simply monitor your column as it actually starts to boil over the sides.

We both know you don’t really think the Gators can beat the Dogs but, just as Iago, you love stirring things up. You simply can’t help it. You went out of your way to make the case against yourself by pointing out that Leaks has 17 touchdown passes against top 25 teams. You just left out the little fact that zero of those have come this year. C’mon Iago, the thing doesn’t work against real teams. Notre Dame has begun a year long celebration of rejoicing in the luck of the Irish. They lost, Florida won, and a grand time was had by all.

I have a tip for you Iago, but you didn’t hear this from me. While the Gators are in JAX, the UF athletic association is secretly converting Florida Field from grass to a covering made from that thick brown craft gift wrapping because it has been pointed out to them that Meyer’s offense actually works much better on paper.

by the way they are right however, the dogs should and will pull this one out if they are half the team they think they are. i hope they wont come back and say how they slayed the dragon with this great upset. opps, im sorry i wasnt supposed to wake up the other team …shhhh, right dog fans?

Joe T will do just fine, maybe better, as he does come from a fine pedigree. The kid has waited 4 years for this chance, and is level-headed enough to handle it. Plus this team showed me, and alot of others, alot o character in Knoxville. So go ahead and tell them they cant win in Jax, they’ve heard it before: just a couple of weeks ago. GO YOU HAIRY DAWGS

Yea, we are pesky little critters, aren’t we? You on the other hand are an idiot. My brother and father went to Tech. They both keep telling me how hard it was. Between you and me; can idiots like you really get into Tech? No wonder I still don’t believe them.

“when was the last time they went out of conference to play anybody, much less beat a team that was truly favored in conference or out?”

When was the last time Tech beat anybody who was anybody? But the last sentence is the clincher. You are saying we suck because we are favored over everyone we play in our conference. Don’t they teach a course in logic on North Avenue?

GEECHEE - I read your posts on Schultz’s (and other) pages here pretty regularly, and we definitely do not agree on some of the finer aspects of college football (like who to root for). However, I just finished reading one of your posts after a Luckovitch cartoon, (read it here: http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/shared-blogs/ajc/luckovich/entries/2005/10/19/mike_nervous.html#comment-168761) and I have to admit that I like the way you think. Putting all sports team loyalties aside, we’re in the midst of what will turn out to be an extremely important part of American history with the indictments coming down any day now, and it’s nice to know that there are still some good open-minded thinkers in the Trembling Chihuahua camp. That said, GO GATORS! (and impeach Bush!)

Now, now…let’s not get out of control here. We all love our teams and hope they’ll win, but who can honestly predict the outcome of any game. Let’s just enjoy it for what it is, a great rivalry. And let’s hope for a great game. Recent history has been in the gator’s favor, but Richt seems to be bringing this team together. Win or lose, we’ve got the right guy in Athens. He is clearly a good football coach, but the character of this team and these young men are just as important as winning to him. How many coaches can you truly say that about these days?

As for golden tornado, I have to agree with you about playing “no-names” for our non-conference schedule. Besides Tech, UGA rarely plays a quality opponent. I miss the Clemson rivalry! But to look to the future…next year we play Colorado, and we pick up Arizona St in ‘07 or ‘08, so we’re heading in the right direction. I do like the fact that we play Ga. Southern every 3-4 years to help them with finances. I currently live in Alabama and it kills me that neither Auburn or Alabama will play Troy or UAB.

Back to the coctail party…I think the Dawgs have a shot, but the D has got to be flawless. I would not want to be in Chris Leak’s shoes on Saturday! If we beat ‘em, you’ve gotta feel good about the TEAM we’ve got in red and black.

Win or lose, I’ll back them DAWGS!

ugadawgfan11 would it make you happy if uga picked up one of those two, it would probably be troy as uab might be too tough..ONLY KIDDING!

yes, it is good policy is changing at uga. we at tech can appreciate the across border rivalries, though it may not help the record it gives perspective. i’d rather be 6 and 5 against competition that 8 and 3 against only 3 competitve teams and win only one of them. and yes each year tech loses one it shouldnt and possibly steals one it should. deep down you know that is true as what are you really bragging about if not.

glad you got the gist of the article as jeff took a wide swipe at every team in the mix. chuckeled throughout and a lot more fun to read than a serious diatribe on the x’s and o’s to explain why he’s picking a team. i get enough of the serious stuff on espn to the point you have to turn it off. you are right though it is impossible to pick the winners and it really doesnt mean much a priori.

have a wonderful day all and enjoy the couch on saturday for those not going to the cocktail party.

Schultz: your criticism of Tuberville is ridiculous. At least he has the stones to stand up and call the system in college football exactly what it is, an absolute joke. Its not bitterness its the truth. ABC, ESPN’s parent company who has the rights to the BCS constantly pushes Big 12 and PAC-10 teams which not surprisingly play on ABC, coincidence? I think not. If CBS owned ESPN do you think the SEC would have been shut out last year and possibly this year?

By Reality Check

October 28, 2005 09:26 AM | Link to this

I normally pick the team that has the better defense.

So far this year Florida has been a surprisingly weak team on offense. Their defense, though, has been the best they have had in years.

Georgia also has a superb defense and I believe they will play well against Florida. I think the defenses (and ability to create turnovers) are about even.

After defense, I normally pick based on who has the better running game.

In a moment of weakness I got away from that model and predicted Florida would beat LSU based on the passing matchups against a suspect LSU secondary. Obviously that was a mistake.

The fact that LSU won in spite of 5 turnovers tells me Florida probably won’t beat Georgia unless they have been able to change their scheme in the bye week to enable them to run the ball much better than they have so far this year.

Adam, I don’t like defending Jeff, but one should not attack another’s writing unless one is willing to write well. He is probably wrong on Ugag but the proper phrase would be “write as you do” not “like you do.” To write like he does, one would only need a keyboard. I almost agree that he writes “terrible” but would use “terribly” or, perhaps, “terrible articles.” His column may be poorly reasoned but is fairly well written - need to bepositive with AJC writers when possible because they are seldom right about anything of substance.

“What kind of name is geechee ? Sounds like someone from north avenue trade school�

geechee is what those of us who were lucky enough to be born in Savannah call each other. It’s a little known fact that Savannah houses the most rabid Dog fans in the state. Why do you think Uga lives there? Savannahians have been cheering the school since it was formed in the city in 1785. It was forced to move to Athens about 15 years later to make way for the coming of SCAD which ended up taking about another 225 or 250 years. How do you think it became the world’s largest outdoor cocktail party? Savannahians needed a fall holiday that would match St Patrick’s Day in the spring. Way back when, whenever that was, the Tech game was for state bragging rights. The Auburn game was for Atlanta bragging rights and the Florida game was for Savannah bragging rights. We have just been able to do a little bit more with ours. Savannah is broken into two distinct areas; downtown and North Jacksonville.

America is the land of freedom, we should express our opinion at all time and if we can’t do that I’m afraid that we’re getting closer to what I call the media dictatorship. Go Dawgs

Interesting column. Interesting posts. However, the football facts are these. FL couldn’t beat LSU after they turned over the ball 5 times. FL’s offense would have trouble moving the ball on Brookwood. And FL’s special teams do nothing to rouse up any enthusiasm. Fact is, UGA should win this game in a cake walk. Now I feel that the dawgs will make it MUCH more interesting than it should be, but just as I accurately predicted the Boise and Tenn games (check the old post) I’m predicting UGA to win this game by 10+. That’s my head. My heart wants a Dawg massacre like LSU last year or Tenn year before last. We’re do against a former SEC power. Time to go out to the woodshed.

This comment is for Adam, which was one of the first dawg fans to get his panties in a wad up there. First of all if you are going to attack Mr. Schultz on his writing style and prowess, you really need to make sure you don’t make any glaring grammatical errors in your statement. Things like writing “havn’t” instead of haven’t, or saying “where did you learn how to write so terrible” when grammatically it should be write so terribly. But I do realize that you probably had to switch your dip can from one hand to the other just to type your response, so kudos for the effort. Also questioning his education? I am assuming that you are one of the hardcore dog fans that probably never sat in a single class in Athens, unless it be at Gainesville College or Truett, or the other option that you are one of the countless that leave the trailer unattended on Saturdays to make the pilgrimage to the Mecca of Redneckdom. Anyway back to the point, Georgia will get waxed against the Gators tomorrow, end of story. My only regret is that they will have the crutch of blaming the loss on not having Shockley at the helm, however they would lose either way. Why you ask? Because despite last years eeked out win the proverbial monkey on the back has reclaimed his position right where he always rested comfortably on the back of that disgusting vile beast that lives better than most of you do (UGA 6 I believe is the one we’re on. Also Mr. Schultz should be commended for telling it like it is in saying that Georgia has not had an impressive win all season, Tennessee especially since they also haven’t lived up to expectation. And a little P.S. the Jackets will win by 4 over Clemson, it’s bound to happen, they always find a way. Also in case you were wondering I don’t even like the Gators, I just live in the real world and don’t dilute myself into thinking that UGA has a chance at another national championship or even playing on the same field as the likes of Texas or USC or even Va Tech. Face it Dog fans your fall from greatness begins tomorrow.

brewerfaninATL, I did not whine or cry. I made a simple statement that the University of Spoiled Children is the most Mickey Mouse school in the country. How do you get crying out of that? At least 2/3 of the state of California would agree with that.

But speaking of glass houses, look at your name, talk about whiners. Milwaukee no more deserves a baseball team than Maui does. Y’all have had more teams than any city and y’all have never supported any of them. The only reason you have a team is it belongs to the commissioner and his daughter which is why he is no commissioner at all. Milwaukee has held MLB hostage for what 2 or 3 decades now and caused how many strikes?

While I am an Auburn alum, I have no great love for Tubby but I have more respect for him now than I did before. If anyone can gripe about the system and its inherant bias’, its Tubby. I suspect you have never fought against the system before, have you Jeff? It takes a small man to criticize another for fighting for what is right. No other major conference school has gone undefeated and been left out of the Natl Champ. picture in the BCS era so if Tubby isn’t going to speak out against it, who is? Like that slime ball Dan Patrick said “You’re biting the hand that feeds you!” In other words, “Shut up and take your money!” How disgusting and arrogant is that?! Its still COLLEGE football, a*******hole!! Its not supposed to be about money although that IS exactly what it is all about. Tubby wasn’t being bitter on Auburn’s account, I think he is upset that VT, UGA and Alabama aren’t getting the same pub as USC and Texas. And they aren’t. USC is getting by on the last two years reputation. Yes they are still undefeated but Texas and VT have played much better and been more dominating this year in my opinion. Teams are supposed to be judged on this years play and while USC is the defending champion that shouldn’t mean they get to stay #1 even though other teams have played better. ESPN just gushes over them and how they “turn it on” to win. The problem is they shouldn’t have to turn it on against the teams they have been playing. Notre Dame is the only stiff test they have had and don’t even get me started on that game. UGA and UA may be flawed, but here’s the kicker, the year isn’t over!! If they run the table their seasons should be looked at in their entirety before deciding who should be competing for the National Championship and not relegated to an afterthought. That’s what makes people bitter. Hey how bout this, Take the Dawgs and the points!! And the Rebels and the gift 20.

I have had the “pleasure” of watching the Gator offense in every game this season.The only good thing that can be said for them, is they do not turn the ball over.Other than that, they have had one actual touchdown drive against a quality defense,and that was in the first quarter of the Tenn game. There was a field goal in the Bama game and 17 points off turnovers against LSU. We are favored only because Vegas fears the unknown. Georgia could start Joe T. Sr on Sat. and win. Last I checked, you still have to score points to win a football game.

Jeff I read you primarily for entertainment and this week you didn’t completely disappoint; however you’re dead wrong on the Dawgs…don’t you get it? Championships in the SEC are won and lost on defense. The 92 Bama team (SEC/Nat’l Champs) had a barely competent offense, even the Mighty Gators (again, 96 SEC/Nat’l Champs) were blessed with…a BOB STOOPS defense! Check Steve Spurrier’s championship slate WITHOUT Bob Stoops…(nada!). My point: the Glorious Red and Black will not win Saturday because of JTIII (or XXXVIII) nor will they lose because of him. No, the difference in this game is the UGA Defense. The Red/Black get back several key players for the ‘Gators. They are disrespected, they are “vistitors on the road,” and they have Mark Richt for a coach. If I’m ANYONE facing them this week, I’m nervous. Either you totally “whiffed” this one or you’re trying to be cute…anyway; you be wrong, bro! This ain’t your Goff/Donnan Georgia team! Go You Friggin’ Hairy Dawgs!!!!

All of you talking about national championships REALLY need to tap the breaks. I have made a point of watching the teams ranked higher and just below the Dawgs all year. Honestly, at this point in the season the #4 ranking is correct. I mean really, did you WATCH the VA Tech game last night. Those guys are for real. Texas… well they are strong top to bottom. And with USC, while I don’t believe they are at ALL invincible, they are the 2 time defending national champion and they should ONLY lose that #1 ranking on the field. And by the way, the roar from Athens this year is also the sound of a champion. I think the red and black could compete with and maybe beat any of the aforementioned teams. But let’s allow this to play out a bit before we jinx the whole damn thing. Oh yeah for those that think that GA is not the real deal. Watch the game in South Bend when UT goes in and upsets the Irish. About that deep do comment. In the case of the Bulldogs, the record tells the story. The DAWGS will run the table. The wild card is Alabama. Not anyone before them. USC and Texas are winning out anyway. SEC is odd man out AGAIN this year.

I find it hysterical that all you ignorant Puppy fans accuse Schultz of being a “traitor” or somehow anti-Dawg because he would dare pick against your team. It’s the same as people claiming that being anti-Bush is somehow akin to being anti-American — just a totally bogus argument. What you folks don’t seem to understand (or refuse to acknowledge, anyway) is that in the first seven games this season, you’ve impressed nobody. You thought you were world-beaters after you handled mighty Boise State. You looked terrible against Louisiana-Monroe, which is the worst team in 1-A football. Your big win for the season was against a 3-3 team that LOST TO FLORIDA. You managed to beat South Carolina by the skin of your crooked, dip-stained teeth. You barely held off 20+ point underdog Arkansas with JT XXXVIII, your newfound hero, at the helm. You’re ranked #4 only because you’ve managed to move up based on other teams ranked ahead of you losing games, NOT because you’ve wowed the pollsters. And when you’ve lost to a certain team 13 out of 15 years and one of your wins came against when they didn’t have a head coach, you don’t really have much room to yap, yet you do anyway. I look forward to taunting all of you starting Saturday night and continuing throughout the remainder of the season. GO GATORS!

Hey Ed, thanks for validating my post. The fact that we’ve been mediocre since 2002 is well known; it doesn’t need to be “exposed once and for all.” In fact, we’re still mediocre, and I’m not ashamed to admit that because I can see how bright the future is. Funny thing is that you’ve still only managed to beat us once during our admitted period of mediocrity…and that was against the aforementioned coachless team. What, exactly, does that say about your team? Idiot.

The problem with UGAy fans is that “Every year is their year, and whoever says otherwise is full of it.” All the teams that beat them simply got lucky and talent wise they can’t touch the mighty bulldogs. Fact is, if Arkansas wouldn’t muffed that punt return, the mighty dogs would’ve been toppled in Athens by the (2-5) Hogs.

Yes, I’ve been to your campus. Reminds me of a typical university campus, except I do recall a wall that had a lot of weird stuff painted on it; gnomes living underground or something strange like that. Kind of tacky. Other than that, nothing extraordinary. I missed the paradise part, unless by paradise you mean stifling heat and humidity. I think the party is over for UF football, at least for the time being. Florida winning 13 of 15 against Georgia is about as significant as Georgia taking 8 of 10 in the ’80s - neither stat has anything to do with what’s happening now. Georgia went through something similar with Ray Goff, then Jim Donnan. Goff was worse than Zook. Donnan led Marshall from the abyss and into Division 1-A, winning the 1-AA national championship in ‘92. He was supposed to be the savior for Georgia much like Urban Meyer - fresh off his success at Utah - is supposed to be for Florida. Maybe Meyer is a late bloomer. So far I don’t see it. Fact is, the sun doesn’t always shine on the same dog’s a*. 17 losses in 3+ seasons with great talent is a bad sign. Reminds me of UGA in the ’90s and UF in the ’80s.

Ed, it sounds to me like the “poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more” is a reference to Joe Tereshinski. Not sure what gave you the impression that I was upset about the topic of our mediocrity, considering I volunteered the fact that I agree with this assessment of our current team, and our last three prior. And as for all your, “if Georgia had taken care of business” business, save it. We’ve all heard it all before. In fact, I can think of an excellent quote to summarize your “if only” whining (not from Shakespeare, but equally eloquent): If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle. Georgia DIDN’T take care of business, despite having superior talent and coaching during the Zook era. And in case you hadn’t noticed, Gator Nation has very little to worry about tomorrow because we have very little to lose if this game doesn’t go our way. However, Smelly Mongrel Nation has plenty to lose, like a shot at an undefeated season and being a loss to Auburn away from losing a shot at the SEC title.

Shockley and Awwwwwww: you got me there. It sounds like we are in total agreement: Florida has stunk while beating Georgia two out of the last three years. All Georgia has managed during that same period of time is 3 consecutive seasons of 10 wins or more (at 7-0, they are a lock to do it 4 yrs in a row), an SEC title, two SEC East titles, and a win in the Sugar Bowl. Now I know how the Gators felt when they were winning SEC Championships but losing two out of every three to FSU. Well, come to think of it, FSU didn’t suck like Florida has the last three years, so Georgia has it worse. By the way, I didn’t catch the score of the most recent game played in this series - Shockley and Awwwwww, when you get a chance, let me know. On another topic, haven’t heard from Sally Mae Johnson in a while. Sally Mae, let us hear from you.

Ed, I don’t think you do know what it was like to be a Gator back during our little streak. Yes, your pups won an SEC title, two SEC Easts and a Sugar Bowl (against an FSU team with a WR playing QB, but I’ll ignore that) while the Gators rebuilt — nice opportunism. But here are some numbers that should put that cute little run in perspective for you: 6 SEC Titles, 1 NATIONAL Title, 1 Heisman winner and 1 runner-up, and that was all in a single decade! Of course there’s always the 13 of 15 against a certain team from Athens. I can also see that you like to count win totals (does counting to 10 mean you graduate Cum Laude in Athens?). Don’t kid yourself. With your non-conference schedule, winning less than 10 games is a disgrace. Try playing FSU and/or Miami once in a while. It’s a little more challenging than Louisiana-Monroe and Georgia Tech. And as for last year’s game, I don’t remember the score, but I do remember that you won by a touchdown. Congratulations. You’re welcome to hang your hat on that one win against a team that had just fired its coach, but I personally find that to be a bit of a loser mentality. But I guess if the shoe fits…

October 28, 2005 10:41 PM | Link to this

Golden, if you read Ed’s post a little closer, you’ll see that his agreement was only on the fact that the Gators have had some substandard seasons lately. It was more of a backhanded agreement than a true concession of the debate, but Ed seemed to have said it good humor, which is always appreciated. I need to correct you on your theory: If the pups do, indeed lose to the mighty Gators tomorrow and then lose to Auburn, there won’t be another loss for you in the SEC Championship game. If the Gators win this one and then beat Vandy and South Carolina, we’ll be in the SEC game, not you.

Now, as for our “new guy,” I think that we’ll be just fine, but it’ll definitely take time. His offense is extremely complex, and unfortunately for Chris Leak, it involves a lot of option plays. Since Leak is an incredible dropback passer but not a particularly great athlete, he’s really not the right fit for the role of QB in a Meyer offense. Someone like Josh Portis, our true freshman backup QB, is the kind of guy Coach likes running the show. He’s lightning fast and ran a spread-option offense in high school. He’s not ready for the big show yet (still only 17!), but he’s getting a lot of good experience right now and looks like the QB of the future. We have 50 juniors on this team, all of whom are obviously Ron Zook’s recruits. Lots of great players, but not necessarily the right players to accomplish what Meyer wants to do on offense. I do think that the longer they play together in this system, the better they’ll get, but I don’t think we’ll be averaging 45 points a game like Utah did until the year after next, when Meyer has two good recruiting classes on campus. I could be completely wrong, mind you; we may go 6-6 for the next three years and be right back at square one, but I don’t think that’s the direction this thing is going. Meyer’s offense can work in the SEC, but it’ll take longer than one season to get it running right.

Shockley and Awwwwww, He does know what it was like. Most of us do. Y’all had a great run, no one is trying to deny you that. We had a great run also it was just much shorter than yours. Before your Ball Coach years it wasn’t pretty for y’all for years, believe me, but who cares. What goes around comes around. Who would ever believe you could look at the AP top ten and not see at least one of the OK/Neb combo but, they are not even in the top 25.

We probably won’t go undefeated but we can believe we can until we aren’t and that could very well be this weekend, we know that but we are choosing not to think of this. And we just go week to week. If we lose so what we still look good to go to the Dome and if given the choice of which game we might lose, I’d rather lose now and get it behind us. In the end, we all know a national championship is very elusive. In that great run of yours how many did you get one? But the SEC championship is no longer elusive for us. It will be within our grasp every year now just as it is for UF.

Either way, the whole country is aware of this team now and they are aware of this coach and it is all just beginning for this school. I never in my life dreamed that UGA would ever have a coach like this. The only thing setting Mark Richt apart from any coach you want to name be it the Bear to Shula is longevity. He’s the real deal. He is genuine and his players love him and respect him and there are probably very few players who would not want to play for him. Mark Richt was Vince Dooley’s thank you to a school that adopted an Auburn boy as their own and still love him that way.

Jeff- Get your facts straight before you try to argue with someone. I’m not a Big Ten fan, or an OSU fan. I was born and raised in Athens. About scheduling tougher opponents, I thought that Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, and possibly Alabama (in the SEC title game) were considered tougher teams? Let me guess, if UGA is undefeated, it means the SEC is down, but if Florida or Tennessee were undefeated it would be ok. WRONG, you just don’t like UGA, and that’s fine but to say that we don’t have a tough schedule and that our being undefeated at this point of the year doesn’t mean anything is ridiculous. Unfortunately, UGA is obligated to play Georgia Tech every year, so that doesn’t help our strength of schedule at all. Tennessee plays UAB and Memphis as out of conference opponents. Tough? No. Florida played Wyoming and La. Tech to start off the year. Everybody plays cupcakes, every year. If UGA remains undefeated throughout the year, and beats an undefeated Alabama at the end of the year, I hope you come back to admit you were wrong.
