Dogs did what they had to do

That stiff breeze you may have felt in Atlanta was the collective gasp of relief let loose from Georgia’s sellout crowd at Sanford Stadium 65 miles to the East. The turnover prone Bulldogs got away with one here today, ladies and gentlemen, winning 24-13.

Georgia played much the same way it did last year in Lexington when it lost to the Wildcats. The Bulldogs had four turnovers, all of them of the ill-timed variety, and after spending the whole first half playing from behind, could never shake the Cats in the second half. But give Georgia credit. It overcame a lot of distractions to do what it needed to on this day.

There were several key differences in last year and this one, however.

  1. Kicker Brandon Coutu wasn’t injured this time. His 46-yard field goal with 2:09 gave the Dogs the breathing room they needed.

  2. Georgia has Knowshon Moreno this year. He became the first UGA tailback since some guy named Herschel Walker in 1982 to rush for more than 100 yards in five consecutive games. The freshman finished with 124 yards on 22 carries.

  3. The Dogs’ defense is better. They gave up three points in the final three quarters and made fourth-quarter stops this time, as opposed to letting the Cats drive the field like they did at the end of last year’s debacle.

But Kentucky had the Dogs worried the entire day and well they should have been with Andre Woodson under center for the Wildcats. The senior signalcaller didn’t have his typical game but his presence was a constant threat to the Bulldogs. None moreso than when UK trailed by eight points and took over deep in their own territory just under five minutes to play. Tight end Jacob Tamme was wide open in the middle of the field, three steps ahead of linebacker Rennie Curran, and Woodson’s pass was just out of his reach. Otherwise we might have been looking at overtime.

Here’s the most impressive stat of all: With the victory, Georgia has won 70 games in seven season under coach Mark Richt. He’s just the eighth coach in college football history to do that.

Now, let’s see how that Tennessee-Vandy game turns out.

Great win, ugly game! You have to win the ugly games to be a great team. 12:30 games can be tough. It’s not on national tv, its a big hangover off of the huge blackout Auburn game. The fans and bloggers said Georgia would have to start winning without gimmicks and they did today against a good Kentucky team, and they did it with 4 turnovers. Great defense and a great mix of T. Brown and Knowshown. Vandy is now up 24-9, 24 minutes left in the game…

That was a difficult win but we’ll gladly take it. Looked like UGA might run away with it in the 3rd, but KY didn’t go away quietly. Given the run the Dawgs have had starting with Vandy and the emotions of Senior Day, it’s not surprising they didn’t play their best today. But a great win nevertheless. GO DAWGS AND BEAT TECH!

I hope you braindeads who can’t see the necessity to fire up kids—no matter the game—saw how flat the dawgs were after Allen’s return went for naught. If CMR had sent to the locker room for the black jersies, I wouldn’t have blamed him.

And those of you who have “screamed” on here(bold type and all caps)to fire WM, I hope you saw the great game he coached today. Van Gorder couldn’t have done as good, much less, better. NASCARFAN you are one who should feast on crow tonight.

Dawgs did what they needed to do today to win, the defense stepped it up again as they have been most of the year in the second half. But we still saw what happens when they come out flat, but unlike the South Carolina and Tennessee games they were able to get on track and still win.

Dawgbyte… I eat no crow.

I decided to be against Martinez because of the inconsistant nature of the Bulldog defense under him.

And I maintain the defense is still inconsistant. The SoCarolina game. The Tennessee game. The Vandy game. Last year, too many games to remember. The year before that, the Auburn game, Florida game, the Sugar Bowl. I mean, the man had just about the exact same game plan against Tennessee the last two years, play zone, bring no pressure, and let Ainge pick us apart, both leading to humiliating losses.

Under Martinez, our defense has given up 30 or more points I believe 7 times. Under Van Gorder, they did so once.

Martinez started this game off as bad as he did the Tennessee games the last two years, bringing no pressure at all. It wasn’t until the second half that he started bringing pressure, which worked wonders the last three games, so why is he always seeming to be so reluctant to bring pressure using a linebacker or DB?

I believe the defense playing better this year has more to do with Mark Richt becoming a head coach who oversees the whole team as opposed to anything Martinez has done.

And I stand by that. The defense under Martinez is not as good, and will never be as good, as it was under Van Gorder. And the improvement this year has more to do with Richt than Martinez.

Hey Dawgbyte, how about you get an effing life and use your own effing name when you have something to say.

I’m not a hater of Martinez. I don’t hate him. I have no emotion in making my decision against him. Unlike your stupid @$$, I’m leaving emotion out of it.

You target me, instead of targeting what I had to say, because you can’t tear it down. Because I used dispassionate logic to make a case against Martinez. And you, being the complete and utter moron you are, are defenseless against the use of logic. What use does an idiot like yourself have for logic?

So you attack the messenger of the logic instead of trying to make your own logical argument.

Dude, you’re a mental midget. In a battle of wits, arguing with you is like me having a rocket launcher while you have spitballs.

If Tennessee play as badly as they did today (lucky win, BTW) then Kentucky will destroy them.

Excuse me if I won’t wish you hillbillies good luck next weekend.

Oh, and I’m not one of those Georgia fans who really cares all that much about winning the East if we already have a guaranteed berth in the sUGAr Bowl for going 10-2, so you won’t see me crying if Fat Phil saves his job.

Which, come to think of it, wouldn’t it be better if Fat Phil saves his job by winning the East this year? Y’all get humiliated by LSU and play in the Peach or Music Bowl, and we get to play whomever in the sUGAr Bowl.

I’d say it’s a win-win proposition for the Dawgs. And please, older Dawg fans, stop saying Phat Phil. It’s Fat Phil. When you spell fat with the ph, you’re actually implying that you like Fat Phil; that you think he’s cool. Trust me, the aliteration is not lost betwen an f and a ph. So please, Dawg fans that obviously don’t know anybetter, it’s Fat Phil. No ph.

Plain and simple. Vandy is a team that just can’t stand their own prosperity. They’ll always be losers. They play just well enough to make games close, and steal one every now and then, like against UGA last year. But the bottom line is that they just don’t know how to consistently get the job done. Too many negative yardage plays on their last drive that cost them field position on that final field goal.

Tennessee might beat Kentucky … and then again they might not! Guess we’ll just have to wait another weekend to find out. I’ll say this though. The Vols didn’t especially impress me today and if they hadn’t had the refs and slow clock operator on their side this game may have had a different result. But the Tennessee home cooking probably didn’t affect the outcome as much as the Vandy coaching staff who seemed to just shut the playbook after they took a 24-9 lead. To their credit the Vols didn’t quit but they’ll have to put forth a better effort next week against a Kentucky team who will be out to best their own effort in Athens today. If the Vols win and take the SEC East I’ll be one of the first to say congratulations boys, you whipped our a* and deserve the honor. But if you slip up and lose I’ll still admit that you whipped us good but also add the team that laughs last laughs best. Can you boys up in Knoxville finish the drill? We’ll see next Saturday!

Or does Knoxville just graduate their students for learning their theme song “rocky flop?” It really does stink that they have beaten us so badly in the past two years - and they are so out for UGA these days, they just about pee in their pants whenever they get a chance to throw some mud our way. Wow. Get a real rivalry UT fans. UGA spanked you guys for so long that the recent spell of wins has you guys in a state of dementia. Hehehehe… I bet this post stirs up a frenzy of Erange lovers.

GA Fans, believe it or not, we will likely get a Fiesta Bowl bid before a Sugar bid becaues the picking order. If Oklahoma makes it to the NT game, don’t be surprised to see GA in Arizona instead of New Orleans. A HOT 10-2 GA team would be the most attractive At-Large team and not to mention possibly the highest ranked non-division winner available. Plus, the Fiesta Bowl has already scouted GA during their win over Auburn. New Orleans has the NT game so they will pick for the Sugar after Fiesta and Orange.

“Here’s the most impressive stat of all: With the victory, Georgia has won 70 games in seven season under coach Mark Richt. He’s just the eighth coach in college football history to do that.”

Okay, Chip. Richt’s done well as Georgia’s coach, but that is a VERY DECEPTIVE comment.

You conveniently forgot to mention that most of those other coaches in college football history DID NOT HAVE 11-12 regular season football games and a championship game opportunity to boot. That is the same mistake sportswriters, analysts and fans make when comparing today’s players’ full-year statistics with players of the past. There are more games today in a season and that makes the comparison apples to oranges.

This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3! Here is how it works!

First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million “free” offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache.

You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor’s offers, I suggest the Stamps.com free trial, not only is it 100% free, but you also get $5 in free postage and the offer credits to your account instantly.

Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system.

8 Referrals = New retail 40gb PS3 10 Referrals = New retail 60gb PS3 14 Referrals = New retail 80gb Ps3 and two games YOU CHOSE (includes new releases like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune or Ratchet and Clank Future etc…) Plus many more PS3 offers and others including up to $475 in CASH

I have been a member for 3 days and have 10 completed referrals on my account, well on my way to my chosen 14 (Already enough for a 60gb or 40gb PS3). I also have 250 people, who have signed up; if any 4 of them complete an offer I have my Ps3 and two games. It can take up to 3 days for a completed offer to process, so I may have already reached my goal.

The company even covers shipping and handling so there is no hidden costs of ANY KIND.

This website even has you create an account so you can track your progress the entire way through, and once your package ships, they supply a UPS tracking link. It is extremely user friendly

I recommend you research this company online, as they are proven legitimate and not in any way a scam. EGM magazine actually did a story on them 2 years ago to see if they were legit and did in fact get a free system… so they proved it worked!

The way it is possible is these sponsor’s pay this company money for referring people to them, and using a portion of that money, buy you a PS3 as an incentive for helping them advertise. It is a pretty nice scheme, but it results in me getting something for free so I don’t care.

This will be my third free thing to get from this company; I have a 360 elite and iPhone for the cost of ZERO dollars.

Enjoy your free system, free isn’t a bad deal for a great console and a Blu-Ray player!

Congrats to Tennessee for lucking out on a Vandy team that actually has a manual on ways to lose a ball game.

UK will beat you, not because you’re a bad team, but because UK plays well at home and besides Berry, you don’t have a playmaker against the pass. I just bought 4 tickets to the SEC championship game in full confidence that I’ll be watching the Dawgs give LSU a hell of a game.

And I know - UT handled us this year. You played great and we played like we were stuck in quicksand. Good for you.

National Championship my behind. The mythical NC is a joke and too often highly political. Auburn’s 13-0 season in ‘04 wasn’t good enough (think about it - an SEC team runs the table, and doesn’t even get a shot). Colorado won one year with a loss, a tie, and a bogus 5th down win over Missouri, mostly because they were the media darling that year. BYU won one year after going undefeated with a weak WAC schedule and beating a 4-loss Michigan team in the Holiday Bowl. Florida backed into its two championship games in ‘96 and ‘06 after stunning upsets of Nebraska and USC, respectively, and even then they had to rely on voter distaste for an OSU-Michigan rematch in ‘06.

Georgia’s 13-1 season in ‘02 was good enough to win the championship in over half the seasons, but even a 14-0 season wouldn’t have put them in the title game over Miami or OSU, who were also undefeated.

Just win the SEC. That’s the only thing teams in this conference have any control over anyway, unless they happen to be ranked 1 or 2 going into the season. If you’ve won the SEC, you know you did it on the field. I still like our chances to win the conference. We’ve learned to play defense and pound the ball, Tennessee has laid some eggs on the road this year, Kentucky is pretty good at home, and LSU is overrated.

You also have to wonder if Tennessee will have much left in the tank after today’s squeaker. The old nerves have to be a little frazzled at least, and Andre Woodson and the UK offense are hard on the nerves, especially in Lexington. Just ask this season’s media darling, LSU.

Tennesse has played only four road games so far this year. They are 1-3, with a 12-point win at Miss. State and a 14-point loss at Cal, a 39-point loss at Florida, and a 24-point loss at Alabama. In other words, their average result on the road this year is a 16-point loss.

Hey we had the chance, we lost in Knoxville, case closed. UT has every right to play for the SECC, if and when they beat Kentucky. If we wanted to be in control, well we should have won on that funky checkerboard.

That said, I am proud as I can be of the way the Dawgs have played in the last few games. Last years team would have lost to Kentucky today, but this is not last years team. Great for the seniors to go out with a win. Now lets prepare for the new evil genuis, the diabolical CHAN. He has us lulled into a false sense of security by losing to us everytime he has played us. Now he has us where he wants us, the dastardly foe.

Nascar, top off the tank, skip the tires and get off the net and speed off to the nearest bar. It is Saturday night in Athens after a win. Go to a bar and spend some time with a few dozen beautiful women instead of typing on a blawg with a bunch of old guys. Go out and procreate. The chicks are waiting.

You would think that Thomas Brown would know to carry the ball in the outside arm as a 5th year senior. When I was a back in h.s. if you did that in a game you were benched the rest of the game. If you did it in and second game you were benched 2 games. A third offense and you were off the team!

The Fiesta Bowl would be great for all of the West Coast Dawg fans!!!!!

I find it hard to believe that UK will lose back-to-back games, especially since the final game will be at home. I also think the battle with Vandy took a lot out of UT.

Chip, Is Sturdivant okay? Any other injuries?

One other thing… does anybody else notice that when UT has a close game going on in Neyland Stadium, that the referees have some pivotal call that always…ALWAYS goes in favor of the Vols? I mean really, did you see the replay of the “roughing the kicker” call today that really turned the momentum to UT? Oh my gosh - it was no more roughing the kicker than Tim Tebow is a Heisman candidate! PLEASE! Will the SEC just take a look at the record of BAD calls made in favor of UT at Neyland? I mean really - we all know that Fat Phil is a cheater - proven cheater - and a baby at that - but how much evidence needs to be shown that the guy has so much pull within the SEC that he can get away with saving his own hyde by using “bad” officiating.

Hey, UT, you kicked our a*******es fair and square for the past two years granted - no whining about those two games from this Dawg fan - but I’ve seen at least three calls THIS YEAR in Neyland that even the TV announcers were questioning. Good luck next week against KY without the officials in your pocket…

And no, you can’t have a job. Go pick some corn.

GO DAWGS!!!

I know this is a Georgia blog and I am a Georgia fan, but I have to say to me Saban has been a bust so far at Alabama. I figured Shula would have won 8 games with all the returning starters Alabama had this year. With their loss today to the little sisters of the poor, I mean Louisiana Monroe, they are 6-5 with Auburn resting up to play them next week.

All those sports writers in Birmingham predicting such greatness look like total idiots.

Charles Cox thank you for serving our country. You played High School football and many of us thank you for your service.

Yellowblood, how does it feel to have the greatest mind in college football history as your head coach? It must be awesome. Win loss records, who cares? CHAN is beyond that. He has purposley lulled the Dawgs into playing mediocre next week by losing every game previously against us. Oh the diabolical genuis of it all. Oh you are so lucky to have CHAN as your head coach. And that is why my buddies and I recognizing his genuis have pushed the Regents to name CHAN Head Coach for Life. What can I say, I am overcome with emotion. Why, why did we have to get this Richt guy when we could have had CHAN?

What a miserable showing by Tenn. They win by 1 point and survive a Vandy field goal attempt with 38 seconds. The SEC East deserves a better representative in Atlanta against LSU than the Tenn Fools. The Cats will knock off the Fools next week. They will be high as kites with nothing to lose. UT is ripe for a loss - and we’re all going to see it!

UGA was just flat today and overconfident. They could have won by 40 if they showed up. Next week, they blowout tech and then when UT loses to UK, Ga will beat an overrated lsu team in the SEC champ. game in Atlanta, a home game for the dawgs. I’m not worried about the sugar bowl—-Ga will probably play hawaii or west virginia——both easy wins.

You losers will have to wait another week to thump your chests. Tennessee celebrated their Arkansas win all week and almost overlooked Vandy. ALMOST.
