UGA better crush Hawaii
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Terence Moore
I thought about it. My ESPN pal, Jim Rome, said it.
Now I’ll write it: Courtesy of this lengthy and loud grumbling by Georgia folks over the Bowl Championship Series doing the right thing by putting LSU instead of the Bulldogs in the title game, their team is in the Mother Of All Binds.
So Georgia is among the elite two of college football? Then that means the Bulldogs just can’t go to the Sugar Bowl and beat Hawaii.
They must obliterate Hawaii.
After all, despite the nice storylines, including quarterback Colt Brennan as a possible Heisman Trophy winner and former Falcons coach June Jones turning a nothing program into something, the fact remains: Hawaii is among the most fraudulent teams ever to go undefeated.
And don’t let Georgia, supposedly among the most persecuted teams ever to miss the championship game, lose to the same Hawaii bunch that needed overtime to win at Louisiana Tech and San Jose State. Not only that, Hawaii had to surge in the last seconds to survive pitiful Washington.
No, shy of an absolute thrashing of Hawaii, the Bulldogs can’t win in this situation, and they better not lose.
