If Darren McFadden didn’t have a bum hamspring at the end of that game, Arkansas would have run out the clock. When he was in, they were on. When he was out, they were out, too. If UGA can “be man enough” to play like McFadden, we win. If not, we lose. It’s that simple…right?

You can’t assert as true that Arkansas wins if Mcfadden stays in the game because neither happened. Alabama had defensive starters go down, and thats when Arkansas made their run. Mcfaddan was out with a concussion, which suggests that even he wasn’t ‘man enough’ to go the distance against alabama.

I am real concerned with this game. Beating OSU felt good to start off the year, but even Troy destroyed them. At the beginning of the year I thought UGA’s young team would make some typical freshmen mistakes and they have. However, after three games they do not seem to have improved much. Correct adjustments from the offensive and defensive play calling don’t seem to happen. I hope I am wrong, but the first away game for this young bunch may be a very bad experience.

By hawkins

I say the defining call that lost the game was when Arkansas went for a pass play instead of a run play on 3rd down on their last drive. That left almost 2 minutes for bama. The clock should have been closer to a minute if they ran a play and let the 4th down run out the clock. Bad coaching cost Arkansas that game

Bama would not have won the game if not for the bogus pass interference call in the last drive against the Hogs. But the Hogs should have been able to stop them and didn’t.

Todd Blackledge doesnt determine whether a play involves interference. The ref does, and that is what the play was, pass interference. Otherwise, the equally ‘bogus’ non calls on pass interference from which Arkansas benefited would be equally relevant. The players made plays and the refs made calls. Total up the good the bad and the ugly of those elements and you get alabama 41 and arkansas 38.

To say “Bama would not have won the game if not for the bogus pass interference call in the last drive” is the dumbest thing I have read in a while. So..let’s say the pass interference never happened….the game would have automatically ended? According to your brilliant logic, that is correct. Arkansas did not lose that game because of a pass interference call. If that call had not been made, Alabama would have had another shot…and the way things were going in that drive and the way that ARK was giving the Alabama WRs plenty of space underneath coverage, it would be fair to say their chances of converting were above average. Good try though.

WhiteAndGold always has to throw Tashard Choice’s name in every blog. TC transfered to Tech cause he saw he wasn’t going to be good enough to ever play for Oklahoma. And now he is “hurt”? Tashard Choice doesn’t deserve to smell Knowshon’s sh*t, or Thomas Brown’s or Lumpkin’s for that matter. I thought maybe after the beatdown Tech took from BC the other night in their own stadium that WhiteAndGold would shut up and stay on his own insect blog, but I guess he can’t help himself.

Rednecks in Tuscaloosa? Certainly there are plenty. Probably the same percentage as at a GA home game. Neither state can deny it. Can GA win? Certainly. ‘Bama has not seen the overall speed GA will present. Richt prepares GA to play very well on the road. ‘Bama is thin on the defensive front 7. ‘Bama gets no pressure on the QB and they have not played against one as good as Stafford. Give him time and he will pick you apart. Don’t look for GA to run for 300 yards, yet if they can keep ‘Bama off balance the can and most likely will win. If ‘Bama has a good running game and can then build off that and have a strong passing game, and will stay aggressive on the play calling, & if they get pressure on Stafford and force him into throwing quickly then ‘Bama just may win. That stuff can be said about any game. Roll Tide.

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this game. In the heart of the SEC, two of the south’s finest football traditions will be playing in front of a national audience, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, College Gameday will be broadcasting on the quad. What could be any better? I was at the Georgia-USC game, and I must say Georgia has got a lot of work to do offensivly to beat Bama.

Fact of the matter is, Darren McFadden wore the Tide defense down, but then again, who hasn’t he worn down? He has run through every SEC defense he has ever run up against. No running back in the SEC, not Knowshon Moreno or Terry Grant could touch this guy. Honestly, he ranks right there with the Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson and Shaun Alexander.

The key for Georgia will be poise on offense. Bryant-Denny Stadium with it’s addition last year joined Georgia among the ranks of stadiums with 92,000+, and those folks make an incredible amount of noise. The University and the football team are riding the Saban momentum as high as ever, and it’s going to be a tough mountain for UGA to initially climb.

Unlike Arkansas, Georgia doesn’t have the future Heisman trophy winner to put them on their back and lead them to a near-comeback. If Georgia goes down 21, don’t look for a comeback. If Georgia keeps pace through the first quarter and a half and weathers the incredibly hostile enviornment that 92,000 fans in B-D Stadium, who by 7:45 will be even more drunk and loud, than Georgia will be in a good position to contend all night long.

Its going to be a tough one but it is certainly not impossible. We did exactly what Arkansas couldn’t when we beat VT last year. We have the talent, we just have to play mistake-free football. A few observations after waching the Bama-ARK game: The 2nd half of the game shows that their defense gets worn down easily. So, give the ball to Knowshon, MoMass & Bailey and we have a winning combo. Their DL is almost as young as our OL, therefore I don’t think it’s out of the question for our OL to get the job done on Sat. finally, John Parker Wilson has no idea what to do under pressure…Quick, somebody teach WM how to blitz out of the gate.

One other note that has me p** off - the AP Poll. Anyone else noticed how completely haphazard it is this year? Previously unranked SC beats us, they shoot all the way up to 17 which is quite a jump! Previously unranked Bama beats a good #16 Arkansas & jumps all the way to take their place at #16 & Arkansas drops all the way out?? Even Kentucky went from 41 to being ranked above UGA. Such large entry jumps are unjustified, as are good teams like Arkansas dropping out completely after a tough loss. Just doesn’t make sense to me…AP voters are nuts.

Hey Ty, if Georgia wins it will be an upset. Bama is ranked higher and Vegas will make them a favorite. Think before you post. I know this is off topic, but just an idle observation. Coach Meyer must have a lot of confidence in his backup QB. If they keep running plays that are designed runs for the quarterback, the Dawgs might not have to worry about Tebow. I don’t care how big and strong your quarterback is; the day of the running quarterback in the SEC went out with the 80’s. There are some big and nasty DEs-LBs-SSs in the SEC and one of those bad boys is going to knock the snot bubbles out of Mr. Tebow any Saturday now. Can you say concussion, broken clavicle, ACL?

Much like the SC game…Stafford will end up being the key.

His awreness as a QB is very questionable at times.

He missed open receivers for big plays in the sc game on numerous occasions by throwing to the wrong man.

Now he has to play on the road in a night game. Lots of crowd noise. It wont be like Aub last year when the Tigers just did not even show up. No…The Tide will show up.

However…Bama’s D does not look all that great to me and I think the Ga staff will be able to prepare Stafford for whats ahead.

If Stafford is on…the Dawgs are going to put some points on the board on this Bama team. Our receviers will get open…Stafford just needs to get the ball to the right man!

Additionally…if the Ga D can man up and control the OS…Ga will win easily.

Of course they got no response from anyone in my vehicle.

Their car also had a G sticker on the rear window and (here is the best part) one of those gay RAINBOW stickers on the rear deck lid. Along with that, add the irony that they had BUTTS county plates on the car, how appropriate!

NYC DAWG, great post. Yes, the AP poll is a little weird this season. Yes, the Bama D looked tired. No, don’t get me started on WM-I am not a big fane of his. What worries me the most about this game is the long ball against our D. I have seen it time and time again-you probably know as well. The guys seem slow to react and are two steps off. Wilson has a great arm and touch. Matt Stafford does as well, it just seems like Wilson has found his when it counts and Stafford is still a BIG “IF”. Our D needs to protect the middle from such passing plays. Bobo needs to be less predictable.
CMR played something like 80-90 players Sat. Lets hope he and the staff can put together the right combo for Bama. If things don’t look better even in a loss then this season maybe a sinking ship. And the fans will be as well. Go Dawgs!

The SEC is a tough conference—the toughest, in fact, as we shall all see this weekend. LSU and Florida are clearly the best two teams in the conference, and yet ESPN Gameday is going to Tuscaloosa. Why? Because, unlike other conferences, the SEC forces every team to bring it every week. Show up flat and you’ll lose (cases in point: Auburn-Miss State or Georgia-South Carolina). Imagine Louisville or West Virginia in the SEC, each with no defense. They’d have four losses a year. I mean, UK was picked to finish fourth in the SEC East, and they beat the #9 team in the country!

That being said, this game will come down to execution and desire. The two teams match up well. Georgia has the edge in talent; Alabama has the edge in coaching. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

Oh, and White and Gold—no one takes you seriously. Post all the crap you want. It’s all white noise to us, like that sound coming from inside your empty skull.

(BTW, McFadden is a great back. But he ain’t no Herschel. If you say that, you never saw the man play. I’ve seen both in person. There’s no comparison. McFadden may compare favorably to Shaun Alexander, Cadillac Williams, Jamal Lewis, or Garrison Hearst, and he’s better than Musa Smith, Charles Alexander, Lionel James, Joe Cribbs, Travis Henry or George Rogers, but he’s not in Herschel’s or Bo’s league.)

I was shocked by Tom Lemmings comments that it is a matter of WHEN Nick Saban wins a national title at AL, not IF…

Saban may win a ton of games and may even win 3 national titles in his first three seasons, but isn’t it just a little early to be saying these things?

AL beat a cupcake then Vandy and had a great win against AR.

Congratulations are in order, but lets keep some perspective! Saban’s team almost squandered a 31-10 lead at home. What are Bamma fans saying if that game is lost?

UGA had a mediocre team (By Richt standards) and started off 5-0 last year. If the Tide beat UGA Saturday, then we can start talking about what Saban is going at AL (that would be 3 straight SEC wins), but what if the guy loses four games this year including Auburn?

Way way to early to be giving Saban this much credit for turning around the Tide (though he is a good coach)

Matt,

Good post. We like folks who come on this board (from enemy territory) and talk football with passion and intelligence.

UGA and Alabama will be a great matchup. I think this will be a close game with the last five minutes telling the tale.

I don’t see UGA falling behind by 21 (unless we have 5 turnovers). This is Richts 7th year and only four times has a game not been won or come down to the last drive of the game (Auburn a couple of years ago with a great team, Campbell at QB and those two RB’s). Florida in Richt’s first year, the SECG against LSU (when LSU won the national title with one of the best college defenses I have ever seen under your man Saban) and TN last year (when the wheels came off with five turnovers)

Richt just very rarely gets blown out. I expect a very competitive game and I am hoping that the emotion and exhaustion of last Saturday night will take a toll on the Tide and give us the slight edge we need.

Don’t even say if Tashard were in the game, Tech would have won. That’s just an excuse a loser like you would make. Go ahead, bash on Georgia by using Alabama…there’s no way you can say Tech will beat Georgia, because you freakin’ lost!!! Get out of this forum. You’re pathetic.

I have the same opinion I commented on since Swafford took his first snap with Moreno as I did with Lumpkin. Give him the ball 20-25 times and Stafford will be more effective. CMR is a QB orient coach which has been successful with DJ and David, but philosophy and technique change, especially SEC. Majority of teams win football games when you have a 100 plus rusher and play capable defense. What you say Cuz, Buck, Hunk and others? The OL, like Auburn will improve each game.

UGA might win if they can hear the snap count. I have been going to BAMA games for 30 years….and never have I heard BD stadium like it was on Saturday. It’s going to be even worse for UGA with a poor offensive line that simply will not be able to defend BAMA’s complex blitz packages. Saban’s hold has come quickly, and UGA fans will recognize that the Tide is back and will command respect.

By Hunk Erdown

September 17, 2007 11:00 PM | Link to this

There is a lot more growth on the UGA squad than just the QB that I am waiting for. In fact, if something happened to Stafford, I think Cox could step up just fine. Hopefully this will finally be the week that Stafford shows the World why he was ranked as high as he was by scout and the other services. God knows, it is time. But geez, if he blows out his knee, we have Cox. If Cox has a meteor land on him we have Logan Grey, I can’t wait to see him in action.

Have we even had an interception yet? We can usually count on several defensive scores that we would have after three games. Usually by now we would have blocked a punt. I think we can count on Moreno to break free for a few long TDs from scrimmage this year. We should have a few recievers break loose after the catch. There are several things that will happen in a matter of time, will this be the week to start seeing some of it? So far through three games there has been a missing link that lets you know your team is special or not. Even average teams have fumbles or interceptions that they advance for scores… not UGA… the year has been very plain and vanilla, so far. Just one break would have given us the win over USC and made us undefeated, but we would still be plain and unexciting. We have got to have that leader step up and get the excitment back in to the troops, not ny jumping up and beating his chest after a good tackle, but by intercepting a ball and taking it to the house, at a precise moment in the game when it breaks the back of your opponant.

YEAH! what NASCARfan said.

On the other note: Arkansas’s defense completely fell apart in prevent on Bama’s last drive. You can second guess coach this until the cows come home but that one fact will remain. Arkansas was clearly the better team of the two thanks to McFadden.

The good part of this game is it’s exposure of Bama’s weak pass defense. Arkansas’s passing game is close to the worse in the league and Casey Dick still looked good.

Bama’s offense looked shabby albeit it effective against Arkansas’s suspect defense. Neither of these teams seemed well rounded.

Georgia’s sound running attack and continually improving passing game will beat Alabama. It can very easily be the game that Stafford could have his 07 coming out party. Dawgs by 12

Its not that Georgia lacks the talent to compete, its more of a lack of mental toughness. I think ( more or less hope) Georgia shows up ready to play like they did at Auburn. Remember Georgia plays better on the road than they do in their own house. Ricth has lost only 3 games in opponents field.

NYC Dawg, I used think the AP was the more sensible rankings compared to the coaches until recently. SC moving up to #17 after beating #11 (at the time) UGA makes more sense, but I can’t understand how Alabama beat #16 Arkansas and moved all the way up to #16 while Arkansas dropped completely out. The AP doesnt usually make unreasonable, significant changes like that. I would’ve thought Alabama would’ve jumped up to about the high 20’s, while Arkansas dropped below them in the 20’s. I think what might’ve affected it was the big 31-10 lead Alabama had before Arkansas’ comebacks, many teams dropping out (UCLA, GTech, Tennessee) while Kentucky & S. Florida were due to be ranked, and many AP voters probably sacrificed Arkansas for Alabama instead of putting 7 SEC teams in the Top 25. It’s a great opportunity for UGA though, to pull an upset that shouldn’t really be an upset.

Before the season it was obvious Georgia is young and inexperienced and it will take a few games to gell. We haven’t yet. Maybe this will be the week.

We need to run the ball 60% of the time. When we do that we win. When we abandon the run we lose. If I were Saban I would sing Stafford’s praises too, because I would want him to throw it a lot. Stafford has a great arm, but he is not yet a great quarterback and our receivers still have problems with dropped balls. We are a much better team when we don’t rely on him and our receivers too much.

Arkansas eventually exploited their front 7, which is not Alabama’s strong point. We start 3 freshmen on our offensive line and at this point they are mych better run blockers than pass blockers.

NYC Dawg, I hear you on the AP poll, but have you ever seen these pencil necked geeks that write for the Media outlets and news papers? They were the ones who did not get to play when we all were out in the yard playing tackle football without pads. Most of them have no knowledge of the game other than what they see or have been told. We are lucky that the AP does not count for anything as far as the BCS goes. As far as UGA in the polls, we were given a pretty good preseason ranking in both the coach’s and AP, we just could not improve on that. We got ourselves in this mess of losing our national respect when we showed up unprepared at the last Sugar Bowl against West Virginia. The players need to understand that when you put on the national stage in a BCS bowl that even if you are not playing for it all, that they should give it their all because teams in the BCS are under more scrutiny than the teams in the lesser bowl games, and that opinions are formed by the national media based on your team’s play in the bigger bowls against highly ranked teams. The Dawgs have showed up at several games with that same disinterest since that game. I saw video of the Dawg walk before the SC game the other week, man the players seemed like they just did not want to be there, shuffling through the crowd because they felt they had to. Someone needs to fire these boys up about what there doing.

Saban needs to get used to Bama fans living in the past. Whether it’s 20 years ago or last week’s game. Georgia is going to catch Bama daydreaming about that last second touchdown and before you know it, Georgia fans will be storming the field in celebration. Most teams fall flat the game following a memorable win and I’m willing to bet Bama will be no different. Only those teams that are used to winning manage to keep the momentum alive. Having said that, I’d put money on Kentucky laying a big goose egg this Saturday too.

Hate to tell you but his receivers have something to do with that too. We have a pretty good QB in JPW and receivers who have proven over the last 3 years that they can catch the ball. You guys have a good RB in Moreno but I think we are pretty solid in the backfield with Grant.

The good thing is we have a very solid OL who does a good job of keeping pressure off JPW and we have receivers who are consistent in catching the ball.

As for the rankings, I am not sure how justified they are but BAMA is 3-0, 2-0 in the SEC and one of those SEC wins was on the road. Yes, I know it is Vandy but if I am correct, they came into your house and won last year. BAMA is a better team than you think and you may end up very disappointed this weekend!

We ALL need to call them out this week, and expect a total effort for 65 minutes if needed. Nothing less. It’s all about pride. Show some guys. And, if after a great effort you lose, it’s okay.

As I purvey the current SEC standings as a whole, some things are not as they should be while others are aligned about right. For example, UT has given up a total of 123 points in 3 games and tied with UGA at the bottom of the SEC East standings at 0-1…At this rate, UT may give up about 490 total points this season. All teams have played 3 games, except Arkansas…USC has given up 29, Kentucky 64, UGA 46, UF 54, and Vandy 58. LSU, the apparent Monsters Of the Midway have scored 137 and given up 7 !..? Can this be right..? Alabama comes in at 115 FOR and 54 AGAINST. This sampling of SEC totals to date means little to most, except to our resident number cruncher, BuLLdawg, who must have missed a probation meeting and is now behind bars without access to a computer. UGA has 92 points to the good and UT has 90 to the good. As a Vol, the PF and PA are an embarrassment. The revenge factor against the Vols is a perfect 1 for 1 with 5 to play…I’m taking no bets…As I said in January, WOE and ALAS.

I understand enthusiastic optimism, but have you guys taken a good look at this game? (Keep in mind that we have both played comparable competition.)

This is the first road game for a very talented but extremely young UGa team. In addition to the best team they’ve played this year, an inconsistent UGa will face 92K+ hostile fans as ESPN’s night game.

Regarding Knowshon, our freshman running back, Terry Grant, is better. He is the three-time SEC Freshman of the Week and averages 134 yards per game. Regarding Stafford, John Parker Wilson has statistically outplayed him and led Bama team to a fourth quarter comeback.

After Mustin, one of our starting linebackers, went out with an injury in the second quarter, our defense began to wear down. We gave up 301 yards rushing to the number one rushing offense in the SEC led by the number one running back in the nation. UGa possesses neither of these, and Mustin will be back on Saturday.

UGa ranks near the bottom of FBS (formerly divison 1A) in special teams. Bama’s Arenas is second in the SEC in punt returns and third in kickoff returns.

The only chance UGa has is if Bama is still caught up in the Arkansas hype and gets distracted by the ESPN Gameday attention.

I’m not being disrespectful, just realistic. We’ll see on Saturday. Roll Tide!!!

I agree..the poll makes NO sense this year. Remember DAWG fans, we are 2-0 against BAMA since Stallings left there. And, if I remember correctly the last game in Athens, we had both the starting QB for BAMA (croyle) in an arm sling and his backup (pennington) in an arm sling. (After laying them both out)It was funning watching the midget Averas (or whatever the 3rd stringer’s name was) the look on his face was priceless when he was given the nod to be the next victim against Ga’s defense..watching his running around and playing to “not get hurt” was a hoot. AND, if I remember correctly, he was released in the off season and never played again. DAWG fans, lets hope for the same thing this year…lets get in T-town and smack the Tide in the mouth…Willie Martinez needs to show video this week of that incredible win and the aggressiveness that Van Gorder’s D showed that day.

I noticed that a couple of you see similarities between this Bama team and the one you played in Tuscaloosa in 2003. That’s absurd…Bama had a sophomore QB with a broken rib and bad shoulder - and a backup QB who had never taken a snap. Not to mention that team was the low point in Bama’s history due to probation and scholarship restrictions.

I think Bama wins…but I could be wrong, because UGA has a fine team. Even though the Dawgs do underachieve at times.

Win or lose, the UGA players are going to be feeling this game for the next week or so, because Saban’s boys hit hard and often. Don’t let the “thin defense” fool you, they’re still pretty good, and rest assured that UGA’s running game won’t wear them down like Arkansas’ did.

BTW: When trying to give an opponent a ‘burn’, it is best not to misspell the descriptor. It just makes the writer appear dumb.

White and gold are you still talking sh*t after your team got MANHANDLED! Are you kidding me? Ryan threw for 400, yes 400 yards against this so called badass D. Yall played two cupcake teams and thought yall were great. Looking foward to November in ATLANTA WHEN WE MAKE IT SEVEN, YES SEVEN IN A ROW. GOO DAWGS, Beat Bama!!

Hey NYC Dawg, the 2nd half shows the ‘Bama D gets worn down easily? A major reason they were worn down was turnovers, 3 and outs and then the incredible running backs of Arkansas. I do not think anyone on your roster, or on any roster in the country, has a stable of backs like Arkansas does. Now you still may do it. But running for 140 against WCU, 120 against So. Car., and 142 against OKSU does not show that potential. ‘Bama ran for 313 against WCU, 221 against Vandy, and a paltry 123 against Arkansas.

We can both say our teams have passed well so running is not needed. To be honest, ‘Bama did not pass much against Vandy because they did not need it, and to be truthful when they did pass JPW did not do so well.

It all boils down to this: neither of us really knows what will happen. We all know Richt is a fantastic coach for away games. ‘Bama is thin defensively and playing lots of young players. I imagine if you guys played Arkansas you would give up some yards to McFadden and company as well. Good luck and Roll Tide.

Yeah, you’re right. UGAy is still in the freaking polls somehow. I don’t really understand why South Carolina is at #12, its not like beating UGAy is anything special. I really hope the mutts are in the polls come November b/c they will be given the big white and gold boot out when Chan and the boys come calling. Booo ya!!!!

Fishtales, I’ll have to say I was in Tuscaloosa 2002 and we were treated very well by the Bama fans. I hate to hear another school’s fans were mistreated in Athens. The only place in the SEC you should expect a rude welcome is in Knoxville. It’s been fun this year so far to see those a** holes get knocked down a notch or two. GO DAWGS!

Ty, 3 trips to the SEC Championship game and 2 titles in 6 years, average 10 wins per season….where does “perennial 3rd place team in the SEC East” come from? Most likely where your opinion does, and everybody has one! WhiteandGold, your infatuation with the UGA Program is borderline comical…you must spend so much time on the UGA blogs to stay current on relevant programs, unlike your irrelevant program in downtown Atlanta. Pull ‘em back up from around your ankles and get out of here, you sniveling little dork!

I’m glad BAMA beat the Hogs the way they did. Tuscaloosa will be abuzz all week over it and overlook the DAWGS (whose backs happen to be to the wall). Get Stafford painted into a corner and watch his best come out!

If Georgia does win on Saturday night…the one thing I can guarantee is all the UGA bashers will say that Alabama is a terribly overated team.

By definition, any team that Georgia beats is a bad team or having a down year. I hope we get to read those posts on Sunday and Monday!

I’ve been here among the Bayou Bengals these past 25 years, during which Nick “Satan” came and went. Never cared for him even as a winner because he’s so cold it’s scarey. But, as Nick might point out, the comments on this blog are like the national polls which jumped Alabama up on the Saban mystique, not the performance of his team. Alabama and Georgia will be a good game but the real tests for them will come when UGA plays Florida and Alabama plays LSU (wouldn’t you like to sit in the LSU section for that one?). Can the Dawgs whip Bama? Does a mudbug walk backwards? Having the defensive secondary at full strength will allow us to go man, stack ‘em up on the front and shut down the run. Knowshon, Sean, Matthew, Thomas and their offensive cohorts will roll back the Tide and end those delusions of instant grandeur infecting the Crimson masses. By the time LSU arrives to clean their clocks, their feet will be firmly back on the ground.

White and Gold- UGA and UA have some of the most beautiful women in all of college football roaming their campuses. A lot more than you could dream of down in that smog infested campus in atlanta! Don’t make absurd comments about the co-eds there this weekend just because you couldn’t get your stinger wet in Tuscaloosa or Athens if you paid for it. I bet none of your pocket protector wearing friends agree with you either! The scenery down there Saturday will be nothing short of gorgeous!

At least Georgia lost to a real team SC… GT lost to BC! The team that only has a QB I havnt even seen their running back this season. I guess its kinda easy to go 2-1 against ND, Samford and BC, the nats did it. You also tell that GT isnt used to winning, they go 2-0 and we should cancel the season and make them champs lol GT is a joke and allways be one. peace go dawgs!

Unfortunately, the Dawgs are staring at a 4-7 season square in the face,and winning this week is not one of the four! After what Troy did to OK State, and what KY did to L’ville it looks like the only real chances for W’s are Ol’ MS and Vandy (hopefully)!

Go Dawgs! Go Mike Bobo - put together a solid plan that makes the best use of our best talent! Mix it up!

Go Coach Searels - get the men ready - practice all the scenarios!

Go CMR - make sure all the coaches are in sync and thinking very well about how to make the most of the opportunties our players afford!

I’m not knocking ‘Bama, they showed alot of character to hang in and win against Arkansas, but Arkansas gave them alot of help in the last two minutes. They gave up 30 yards in just interference penalties. If UGA plays a smart game and doesn’t give them too much then we can win in Tuscaloosa.

There is whiteandgold. I was wondering where you were after your defeat by BC. I do not think that you are a tech fan. I think that you are a UGA hater for sure, but you talk so ignorant about things and no one from GT would talk like you do. EIther way, it is fun to read your antics. Go DAWGS!

Matt is not close to being one of the top qbs in the country let alone the SEC. You have Tim Tebow (UF), Andre Woodson (UK), Kodi Burns (Auburn), etc. He will get rolled over by the Tide this weekend. Look for him on the internet with a bottle of moonshine after the trashing this weekend. He’ll need it after the beating he takes in Tuscaloosa Saturday night!

Hey General how is your new group the PHORMER PHANS OF PHAT PHIL coming along. Sounds like a PHABOULOUS group to join. Just don’t take it to PHAR.

I got the local Sports Bar here in Rochester, MN to agree to run the Bama-UGA game on their bigscreen instead of the MN-Perdue game. They agreed they would rather see some good football. Okay I dropped the bartender a twenty also, but they will thank me later.

Surprise, surprise. Fans in the sports bar asked how the SEC was shaping up when they noticed my hat with the G on it. They recognized it as UGA not Green Bay which is just across the stream. Another kick to nobody recognizes UGA out of state.

Let me get this straight Georgia beats a 1-AA school and you are complaining about your ranking? Seems to me to be quite generous. You should be grateful. Because we play in the weaker conference we stand a better chance (not that it means anything) than Georgia of being ranked when the two teams meet. The SEC is hands down the toughest conference in College Football. You still have Bama, the Vols, Tim Tebow (I guess we now know he can do more than run up the middle…up in the sky…it’s a bird…it’s a plane…), and suddely tough Kentucky left. You will lose at least one of those.

Dont worry about the AP Poll. The voters have no idea what is going on. As long as you put up offensive shows, you get the votes. No votes are given for defensive success or taken for defensive failures. Teams like Texas A&M have no business in the top 25… they gave up 43 points to fresno state. Miami needs to step up and play up to their capabilities this weekend. Hawaii needs to be dropped from the top 25 and not let back in until they schedule a game against a ranked opponent. And why does Nebraska get dropped ten spots for losing to the number one(ranked) team in football? They still put up 31 points against the highest ranked team in the country. I never thought I would say this, but I look forward to the BCS rankings… at least there will be some ranking system that considers a teams strength of schedule. I truly believe that these AP voters just look at the winning score and make their vote. Oh and F* Tech.

CMR’s mantra is “Sr. leadership” but who is our Sr. leadership here in ‘07? I can think of maybe two or three Sr’s who are leaders. If Coach can’t adjust to the fact that we don’t have much SR. leadership, we’re in trouble. Special teams are a mess. I think our average punt returns put us at 89 in the country but no changes will be made. Coach, it’s your team so do your thing. We all hope you have’um ready to play because we’ll all be cheering for the team.

NCDawg- S.C. gave us 30 yards in personal fouls on the first drive and we didn’t score a point!! I’m not trying to knock your point but UGA was given PLENTY of chances to beat S.C. and they didn’t even come close to capitalizing! This game, imo, is against a tougher opponent and on the road. UGA better come to play. If they bs around and play like they did against S.C. we are going to get embarassed!!
