Georgia beat Florida because Tebow couldn’t run the ball because of an injured shoulder. Georgia beat Auburn because Brandon Cox has spells where he throws the ball with his eyes closed. Unsportsmanlike conduct gimmicks, rap dancing, and black uniforms had nothing to do with it.

The dawgs learned their lesson about not getting “up” for a bowl game against West Virginia. And we still came back from 28 down to nearly win! We won’t let that happen again, and consequently we are going to mop the floor with Hawaii. We just need to run it straight at them until they prove they can stop us—-which is a ‘No’.

I could care less what colors either team wears. What a tired story.

Chip, I’d like to hear a little more about Hawaii. Their program has always fascinated me. Its amazing to me that they even have a football team. I don’t know how they do it criss crossing the country week in and week out like they have to do. How do they adjust to the time zone changes, weather changes, etc.? How do they get all that equipment from point A to point B? It must cost a fortune to do that every week. Maybe I’m the only nerd interested in stuff like that but if not I think you guys should write a story about it.

Concur with all - the uniform colors are the least of our concerns. Why can’t someone do the normal match-up article where you rate O line vs. D line, etc?

I think too much is being made of the uniform colors. I like the way Hawaii is doing it—white helmets, shoes, everything. I said it in November and I’ll say it now…the black jerseys do not look right with the red helmets. If UGA wants to go black, then get black helmets.

I am excited for the game—but I get excited for every Georgia game. I think Georgia will be ready to play. West Virginia taught us to not just show up and expect to collect a trophy.

I think it’s funny that the Hawaii kicker thinks UGA has black uniforms. I guess they have not been studying very much film if they think UGA plays in black uniforms.

I think too much is being read into Hawaii’s passing game, however. Look at Hawaii’s schedule. How many people have actually looked it up? San Jose State? New Mexico State? Louisiana Tech? These guys are having to go into overtime to beat their opponents. Yes, Hawaii may score 50 per game—but they have to because the defense seems to be giving up 48. I think Hawaii has not had to face a running game like Georgia brings and their O-Line does not see speed like UGA will bring. Brennan will not be able to sit in the pocket and find one of his thousand yard receivers because his line will not catch up to Georgia’s speed.

But, that’s why they have to play the game!

ugadog311, we learned our lesson with WVU? I was at the CFA last year and we were down by quite a few points at the half. Didn’t look too good to start off. Same problems we had suffered all year. No offensive production, 3 and outs and the defense on the field too long. I told the VT guy next to me that this team has done this all year long but one they don’t do is quit so get ready for an great second half of football. And boy was it. For once I would like us to pounce on a team in a bowl game and not let up. We don’t have the problems we had last year. Allen on the returns and the offensive production is greatly improved. On the defensive side we have been playing extremely well however Hawaii is an offense we have never experienced and we haven’t coem out well against those (see WVU). All that said I can’t wait for the game.

Coach Richt’s right to be concerned about the Warriors intensity. They are, suprisingly, bringing quite a contingent to the game and I expect their players to be sky high. What I think the hope for the ‘blackout’ is that it may help match that intensity both on the field and in the stands. More than anything he doesn’t want a flat start like vs. WV a couple of years ago.

Strategically, it is my hope that:

1) we knock Colt around early and often and

2) that we use some misdirection and play action to try to get our playmakers in space early on. If we try to pound it early and they get some stops we’ll give them too much confidence. We need their heads on a swivel on d, get them tired and then run them the hell back to the middle of the Pacific with Moreno and Brown.

If we enforce our will up front on D and use their defense’s aggression against them early, we’ll beat them pretty badly. If we give them any hope in the 1st Q, it may be a nail biter late.

If we employ a sound strategy early on, this will not be a close game. My prediction is that we will block a punt, return a punt and force a TO in the opening quarter simply because of superior personnel and then the rout will follow. We are simply too fast and too big and too quick for Hawaii to deal with if we hit them where our advantages lie. What was it that Mike Tyson said: “Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.” I don’t think they can take a punch of the type they are going to get on Jan. 1. The closest similar scenario I can think of was when Neb. played UF in 1996. UF was a 4 point favorite with their wide open offense and Neb. just brutalized them physically. You can use 4 weeks to get ready to slow down a wide open offense, but you can’t prepare for a physical mismatch in a month.

Oh, Warriors…Come out and play!!!!!!

Somebody said to take a look at Hawaii’s schedule and who palyed them close etc, etc. I did take a brief look when it was announced we would be playing them. Collectively their opponents were approx 52-90 overall records, 2 schools had winning records. Teams playing them close were LaTech (Dooley) 5-7, San Jose State 5-7, Utah State 2-10, and Nevada 6-6. All put up points on the Rainbows all close to or over 30 points. They #19 Boise State one of two teams that had winning records, Fresno State was the other. So people can score on them and they definitely have no problems scoring. SOS doesn’t mean a damn thing when it comes to a new game, new atmosphere and a team determined to “prove” itself. They have two 100+catch/1000+yards receivers, and a third one with 80+/1000+yards. Their #4 WR has 50+/700+. Pretty damn impressive. Almost all these guys have long TD 48+ to 81+ yrd catches. I hope Martinez has been studying the film. There are four WMD’s that can hurt us with one blown coverage. Blink and these guys are gone. Better be fresh and ready in the secondary. Punch the guys at the line and get to Brennan.

All thhe team should concentrate on now is how high they can run up the score, because unless the Dawgs win by 30 or more the national media and public opinion will view it as a UGA loss. We obviously aren’t one of the BCS pet programs like USC, Oklahoma, LSU, OSU, etc., so we have to prove we belong with them by stomping the opponents in front of us until they can’t look the other way. Sad that it has to be that way, but it seems the only way.

By DearingStDawg

I think the key to this one will be the Hawaii O-Line vs. our D-Line. Hawaii’s offensive line is big, and they’ve faced both fast defensive lines and big defensive lines. What works in our favor is that they haven’t faced a big AND fast defensive line this season. Hopefully, we can knock them around up front and put some pressure on Brennan and force some bad throws. Those recievers they’ve got are the best we’ll see all season, so without pressure on Brennan they could cause some major problems.

On offense, I don’t think Georgia will have trouble scoring. Hawaii has had a bad tendency to give up points this season, and we’ve proven that we have no trouble scoring on “stellar” defenses (i.e. Auburn).

I’m not brazen enough to pick a big blowout for the Dawgs because I actually respect Hawaii, but if we play our game and don’t make mistakes, there’s no reason we shouldn’t win by a TD or two. Let’s show the Hawaiians a little Southern hospitality on Bourbon Street, then show our toughness on the field. Should be fun.

Dawgs should win, but it will be close. We just can’t get down by a ton of points like the last Sugar Bowl game.

If I were the DC I would be having my secondary running a ton of sprints to get them ready for the track meet they are about to attend. Put preasure on the QB of theirs and we should be OK. If not, it could be ugly.

Black hats. Don’t forget the black hats. You wear your black t-shirts and the white or red hats take away from the effect. Does Wal-Mart still carry the $5 black UGA hats? Buy a few extra and give some to a poor college student. If you live close to the stadium and can’t afford a ticket consider buying one from a scalper after the start of the game when prices are negligible.

I would not put it past Coach Richt to surprise the team with black pants as well. He might want to save some tricks for next year. Speaking of tricks, I’d like to see a reverse or a lateral on a punt return — I think that would have the potential to be devastating.

By the way, what’s the largest crowd Hawaii has seen all year? I have to think an SEC-size crowd is outside their scope of comprehension.

just received this blog site from a Georgia fan living on the Big Island of Hawai’i. She graduated from Georgia and, of course, a bulldog for life. She’s been getting alot of “ribbing” from her co-workers but is a good sport about it. We’re going to miss her and her southern accent because she and her husband are moving to Nevada.

I hope Georgia don’t underestimate the Warriors. Sure, we don’t have a schedule like yours or maybe the caliber of players like your conference do. But Hawai’i will show up. They showed up at USC’s Coliseum in Pasedena and at Alambama’s Bear Bryant’s Stadium last year (I think they lost to Alabama by a touchdown). I don’t think Hawai’i will make excuses for this game. Every week Hawai’i have been taking serious criticism from the media across the country. Yet, the few believers in the media (Lee Corso, etc.) became the strongest supporters for Hawai’i to be in the BCS bowl.
By the way, I don’t care what color uniform they are going wear, but expect the Warriors to show up for this game. Go Warriors!!!!

Hawaii will score on Georgia. I believe the key is pressure and not a prevent type defense. The recievers for Hawaii are very talented, fast, quick etc… the can’t stop the run so Brown and Knowshon should run wild. Hawaii is saying it is the most important game in the history of Hawaii football as they did with the final weeks as the stakes got higher. Should be a good matchup but Troy gave us some trouble and Hawaii will be similar in style so we better show up to play or it could be West Virginia all over again. One advantage is Stafford is a much better thrower than the Washington quaterback. I think the score will be 48 - 40 Georgia and kind of close throughout. I just pray DC Martinez doesn’t play prevent and decides to pressure.

Everyone is concentrating on The Dawgs Defensive Secondary stopping the Warrior pass as the key to this game. I believe The Dawgs establishing a consistent running game for 60 minutes to control the clock is more important to winning this game.

The Warriors have less chance of stopping Brown & Moreno than we have of rushing their QB and covering their receivers.

People complain about Hawaii’s schedule. But here’s how Hawaii’s Brennon did against BCS teams.

Pretty Impressive

(W)-Washington 42/50 490 yd 5TD (W)-Boise St 40/53 510 yd 5TD (W)-Ariz St 33/42 559yd 5TD (W)-Purdue 33/48 434yd 3TD (W)-Oregon St 37/50 401yd 2TD (L)-at Alabama 33/44 450yd 2TD (W)-at Boise St 25/36 388yd 5TD

That’s a 75% completion percentage, with 27 touchdowns. I challenge any of you Colt HATERS to show me a 7 game stat stretch better than that.

I for one think that Coach Richt need to turn the offence loose and not hold them back on scoring ,because Coach Jones won’t hold his team back on running up the score if they get the chance. If UGA can score 100 points so be it . If they can win “100 to 14” I say LOCK AND LOAD. Teams that score big are the ones that play for Championships. I have always herd nice guy never win , if two teams are tied for a spot the team that wins there games by 40 points are going to play over a team that held back and only won there games by 14 points. We need a little less nice guy and a little more a* kicking.

For all of you who weren’t at the blackout against AU, it was a spectacular sight. The fans in all black was awesome in person, not so much on TV. I think it gave our players motivation knowing that the fans had donned their black in total support of the team.

I only hope the fans in the Superdome show the same support. If so, the Dawgs will come out as fired up as ever and jump on the Warriors from the start. IMHO the blackout was a brilliant move on the part of CMR and had a definite impact on the outcome of the game. Football, like any sport is 1/2 mental - 1/2 physical, so fans wear your black and actually help the team! The 12th man counts too.

Georgia beat Florida because Tebow couldn’t run the ball because of an injured shoulder.

This crap is getting old.I guess they were just more worried about protecting Tebow’s shoulder than they were beating us.I remember a Georgia back one time playing with a separted shoulder for an entire half.Also Tebow don’t play defense and they give up 42.Oh yeah if Shockley had played a couple of years ago instead of Joe T. we would have won.

Let me set a few things straight.

1. Hawaii couldn’t beat Tucker.

2. Richt has said since after the Auburn game that UGA would wear the black jersey’s in a bowl if we were the home team. Regardless, they will also be a gift to the players. Black britches have NEVER been an option.

3. Recrootin’ is basically over, the horses are in the barn, and once again UGA has a top 10+ class.

4. The lack of news about Hawaii is understandable, they have basically played NOBODY and what’s the point? They run the “chuck and duck”.

5. UF & AU fans crack me up. Especially the jort wearing Gators. Wah, wah, wah, Tebow was hurt. I still LOL , (laugh out loud) for those posting from the local jails at the whining Gators. 42 points, yeah, blame it on Tebow. Is he still crying?

6. Tickets will be CHEAP 2 hours or so before KICKOFF. Expect to get in for twenty bucks per or less, and oh yeah, the end zone seats are the best, closest to the field, best views, etc.

I’m from Georgia and consider myself a true Dawg fan and just moved from Hawaii were I watched the Warriors ( June Jones removed the rainbow from the team name and stopped them from playing the Hawaii 5-0 theme song ) and Timmy Chang do the exact same thing Colt is doing with this offense. To call their schedule cupcake is being nice! Forget the lower level teams, they had to come from behind to beat Louisiana Tech, San Jose State, and a 4-8 Univ of Washington team. Hawaii hasn’t seen a team or fans like Georgia! I lived around the corner from Aloha stadium and sat and watch them play opponent after opponent and wondered how they will do against a real football team! Now we find out! Colt Brennan is just as good as any QB would be that is allowed to throw the ball 60 times a game! It is the offense, look at the stats of guys whose teams have played into overtime and they were allowed to throw the ball 50-60 times! They put up numbers! Colt can’t tale a lick ( see the Fresno State game were he was knocked out trying to scramble) and is not use to defense that is just as fast as his offense. This will be a good game but it will come down to our offense and how will control the clock and put points on the board.

With maybe the exception of Ole Miss, every team in the SEC beats this Hawaii team. Washington was horrible this year - worst in the crappy PAC ten, and Hawaii had to go pull one out of their backside to get by them. The Boise State team the Dogs drilled last year was better, much better, than this Hawaii bunch. Watch something else.

I’m p** that we got stuck playing a crappy team like Hawaii. I don’t think that we will get a preseason ranking of more than 5th next year because the voters all hate UGA.

HAWAII is a MEDIOCRE team that plays a cream-puff schedule. Obviously, someone else agrees or they would be playing the NC game instead of the Sugar Bowl.

Dawgs roll over Hawaii (even if they don’t bring their A game).

I like that we are wearing the black again, but I am tired of hearing about it. It all comes down to blocking and tackling. After this game, put the black away for a while. I think Georgia will be fired up and ready to play; the coaching staff is not going to let another West Virginia happen. See y’all in New Orleans. I’m excited about the cultural clash between the teams and fans. How will all of the rainbows react to seeing a bunch of rowdy kids in red pants an collared shirts yelling ferociously?

The Dogs had better not, and I believe WILL not, take Hawaii lightly. Whatever their weak-sister conference, you don’t go 12-0 without great talent and damn good coaching.

I am confident that Richt and his staff will have Georgia ready to take care of business in the Sugar. I could care less if UGA does the blackout or not. The Dog’s rage at being snubbed should be all the juice we need in the Superdome.

Personally, I like the idea of Hawaii wearing all white. It makes the blood show that much more.

I’ve heard a lot of talk about how the SEC schedules to maintain its illusion of superiority. So, I decided to take a look at this past season. The SEC as a whole is 39-9 against teams outside of its conference……………of course, those teams combine for a losing record of 279-296, with the opponen ts’ wins heavily weighted by teams like Houston, Troy, Florida Atlantic, Eastern Kentucky, Richmond. The losses are to good teams (Clemson, Missouri, W Virginia, South Florida. Only LSU was able to beat a good team in Va Tech. It seems obvious to me, after comparing the SEC teams (who has played whom and won) that LSU is by far the best team in the conference. It also seems there may be some truth to the scheduling theory. We’ll see this bowl season.

By Hawaii Fan

December 18, 2007 1:51 AM | Link to this

I’ve enjoyed reading this blog and thought I’d make a few comments.
1. I always liked UGA’s red unis..I think they’re one of the best looking ones in the country.
2. Hawaii’s receiving corps is one of the fastest in the country. Brennan is the most accurate passers in NCAA history.
3. Hawaii’s O-Line is probably the best at UH since Jesse Sapolu and Tom Tuinei (both all-Pros in the NFL)played together in the 80’s. The O-line is traditionally a strength at UH. At least 4 former UH linemen have been starters in the NFL in the past few years-Vince Manuwai (Jaguars), Keenan Forney (Falcons), Samson Satele (Dolphins), Adrian Klemm (Packers). I think there’s one more, but his name escapes me. If you think that UGA will be able to push the Warriors’ O-line around, you might be in for a surprise, as many people believe this is UH’s best O-line ever.
4. The DC for UH is Greg McMackin, who held a similar position at Miami during their National Championship caliber years. At one point, he was the highest paid DC in the country. He believes in playing an attacking, high risk/high reward defense. If the other team scores, he knows that the offense can put up point in a hurry. 5. Traveling over 2500 and up to 4500 miles to play isn’t easy. Talk to Alabama fans about how easy it was when they came to Hawaii and lost. Look at all the BCS conference teams that have lost in Hawaii recently. Yeah, UH had close calls but willed themselves to hard fought victories. And if UH is down by 3 TD’s in the 4th quarter, don’t expect them to roll over and die.
6. UGA may have a talented defense, but can they handle a team that throws 50-60 times a game? If you watched some of UH games, you would have seem cornerbacks and defensive linemen bent over between plays trying to catch their breaths. 7. Last year, UH lost to Boise State by a touchdown. The game was won on special teams…UH was the better team that night, but BSU did what championship teams do and found a way to win.
8. UH had a weak schedule, but there aren’t a lot of teams that will play UH in a home and home (Florida refused). Michigan State paid UH a quarter of a million dollars to get out of a game at MSU this year. A lot of teams this year lost to lesser teams (and, by the way, UH beat Applachian State a couple of years ago). Most of the teams in the WAC will play anyone. Still, teams from smaller conferences like UH need to play home games because they just don’t get the kind of money that the BCS schools get every year. 9. Win or lose, we UH fans are proud of our team and what they’ve accomplished this year. We’ll be in full force in New Orleans (how many UGA fans would have come to a bowl game in Hawaii?). We look forward to cheering on the Warriors and sharing a hurricane on Bourbon Street with our UGA counterparts. Aloha…

For you dawg fans, anything can happen in college football. Even though some of you weren’t impressed that Hawaii beat Washington, keep in mind Washington beat Cal, who creamed Tennessee, who beat the crap out of UGA.

On the other hand, UGA lost to South Carolina, who lost to Vandy, who lost to Wake Forest, who lost to Nebraska, who lost to Texas A&M, who lost to Miami, who lost to Georgia Tech.

Not that winning football games has transitive properties or anything, but it just goes to show that strange things happen between the lines.

It was kinda fun looking up the schedules of different teams and coming up with these chains. The thing is, nobody can find a link between UGA and a team that beat Hawaii, since Hawaii didn’t lose any. :-)

On the other hand, UGA lost to South Carolina, who lost to Vandy, who lost to Wake Forest, who lost to Nebraska, who lost to Texas A&M, who lost to Miami, who lost to Georgia Tech.

Not that winning football games has transitive properties or anything, but it just goes to show that strange things happen between the lines.

It was kinda fun looking up the schedules of different teams and coming up with these chains. The thing is, nobody can find a link between UGA and a team that beat Hawaii, since Hawaii didn’t lose any. :-)

Will UGA beat UH? I wouldn’t bet the house on it.

Actually, Hawaii wore a dark green helmet.

I’ve been thinking about this and I may actually walk around NOLA before the game in my UGA jersey (during the game I’ll be wearing white or green). I have an autographed Hines Ward jersey. He’s one of my favorite players (he has lots of fans in Hawaii since he’s part Korean and Hawaii was the first place in the US that Koreans immigrated to…I know there’s a lot of Koreans in Georgia too). I’ve been following his career since he was the QB at UGA. I got him to sign an UGA jersey at the Pro Bowl since I thought it was so much cooler than the Steelers jersey.

Didn’t happen then and won’t happen now. You must have the ball to score points, and KM and TB will “keep” the ball for themselves and take it home to Mama. Besides, by the time Brennan meets Curran a couple of times, there will be a major attitude adjustment. Go Dawgs.

I’ve seen and heard a few people talk about the fact that the line is only at +9 for UGA. Vegas doesn’t set the line based on what they think will happen, it’s set to get even money on both sides. Does anyone think Brennan will pose more of a problem than Tim Tebow or Andre Woodson? I think not. If Brennan were in the SEC he’d probably be a lot like Andre Woodson, and if you put Woodson on that team playing the schedule Hawai’i played he would probably have comparable numbers. Dawgs will roll and Hawai’i will be faced with the sobering reality that they are a product of a weak schedule rather than being a good team.

I think UGA learned their lesson 2 years ago by taking WVU lightly and they won’t make that mistake twice. Hawaii will score some points but i’m not expecting their D to be able to stop us passing or rushing. I expect an Auburn like score with 45-20 or something close to that. It may be close for a little while but by the end of the game UGA will have run away with it, literally.

Pam…You’re right, Hawaii hasn’t really played anyone that good this year except for Fresno State and Boise State. But our QB put up record numbers last year against better competition (including 4 BCS schools), despite being pulled in 8 of the games where UH had substantial leads. 58 TD’s is pretty impressive no matter what league you play in…it’s almost as much as Matthew Stafford and Tim Tebow have combined in their careers.

Hawaii had two receivers named to All-American teams this year (Devone Bess, Ryan Grice-Mullin) and a third Jason Rivers was named on SI.com’s as an honorable mention, as well as an offensive lineman named an All-American (Hercules Satele). So that’s 4 All-Americans on the UH squad, including the QB.

How many All-Americans did UGA have? I’m sure there must be some, but I couldn’t find it on the UGA athletics website.

It’s too bad that the UGA team and Coach Richt aren’t taking UH as lightly as most UGA fans seem to be. It sounds that UH has earned their respect (read the quotes oon the UGA website).

Can’t wait for kickoff. Like some of the others, I was hoping there would be more discussion of matchups rather than fashion - must be an SEC thing…

Anyway, some points have been pretty well made, such as the UGA DL being both big AND fast. Will Georgia need to blitz to pressure Colt? If so, can the safeties cover Rivers man to man? If they can pressure with just the front four, then they have a good chance of at least slowing down the Hawaii O. On the other side, how will Hawaii’s D address Moreno? UGA is more balanced than Washington, but Hawaii managed to contain Boise State, and they are one of the most balanced and well-coached teams in the country.

Anyway, I think this will be a great game, Hawaii’s coming out party, much like Miami in 1983. The Warrior’s core offensive unit has been playing together for 30+ games. Hard to put a price tag on experience, but these guys will put a toe tag on UGA if they don’t show respect. A Poi Dog doesn’t bark, but it will bite. Aloha

Watch out for the Bubble screen passes and underneath stuff that will eat the dawgs defense lunch. Dawgs wait and see defense will be stunned once again when Hawaii opens a can of W A.

The perception that this game somehow hinges on how the Georgia fans might not respect Hawaii (and somehow that is going to transend into the players and coaches) has become tired and laughable at this point. Newsflash, our team has been preparing for its next opponents, its next game, as it has all year, as it does every single year. I assume this notion is based on how UGA (as well as most) tends to play down to its far lesser competition at times. But unless you Hawaii fans think your team is going to play like a far lessor team, rest assured Georgia isnt likely to give anything less than its best effort. What I laugh at is the idea that Hawaii fans are trying so desperately to convince themselves that they are going to sneak up on poor ol lazy dumb overconfident UGA and teach em something. Folks we’ve seen a good team or two around these parts, and played in a few pretty big games.

Not likely the team hasnt noticed this IS the Sugar Bowl. The other part is that with the “Troy”s of the schedule, we always try to just get by with as basic plan as possible. Think the coaches are holding anything back, New Years night?

Dawgs will five O the Warriors.. Dawgs 50 Warriors 44.

I think the depth will play a big part in this game. Dawgs is 3 deep on both side of the lines. Therefore, Dawgs will stay fresh while the Warriors maybe sucking air. I have to admit, I don’t know much ‘bout Hawai’i’s depth, but I’m sure they have some pretty good back-ups.

Most certainly, Warriors and its fans are jagged up for this game. It could be one of the best bowl game this year.

Hawai’i Fan, got my HAKA ready bra, Ringa Ringa pakia… I pulled for the Warriors except for this one. I was hoping for a match-up with USC to avoid my two favorite teams play against each other, but, it is what it is. To be honest, if Dawgs lose, I will be very disappointed. Warriors will still have a good winning season with one L.

Just seems like Hawaii should take some examples from Georgia players and recognize the talent at Georgia. There have been a few good things said, but not near as many as Georgia players have said about Hawaii.

82Dawg: Compare Stafford this year to Brennan when he was a sophmore

Okay: Brennan: 350/515 (68%), 35 TD, 155.49 Passing rating

Stafford: 180/325 (55%), 18 TD, 128.81 Passing rating

Dawg Dave: I think you’ll find that the players and coaches at UH have nothing but respect for UGA. You won’t read much in the Honolulu papers because it’s not good press. But when you watch the interviews on TV, you’ll hear stuff like “Moreno is the best running back we’ve ever faced other than Ian Johnson”, “Stafford is a stud…a better high school QB than Tim Tebow was”, “Mark Richt is the best coach in the SEC”, “This is obviously the best team we’ve faced all year, maybe the best team we’ve faced since I’ve been here,” ad nauseum. You’d think that June Jones was a UGA booster.

But you’re right, UGA coaches and players have definitely played up UH.

BTW, I asked a question earlier and no one responded so I’ll ask again, did UGA have any players named to All-American teams? I honestly don’t know (I’m not asking in attempt to take a swipe at the UGA program or anything). I just want to now what players to watch for during the game.

Hawaii Fan,

UGA = ZERO All-Americans

And they are proud of it!! It isn’t important is what they say when they have zero.

I figure somebody would make some reference that WVU game from, oh 2 years ago. 82, no they didntsay that. (in fact i JUST saw DJ shockley in an interview yesterday saying how MUCH they DID prepare. Surprised how fast they were maybe. I recall Coach saying he experimented with conditioning schedule that didnt turn out as well as he thought. FAR from unprepared, and My point was about the folks saying we are taking this game lightly. If you think the West Va scored quickly because the UGA camp sat around and didnt prepare, scout team didnt run simulations, coaches didnt watch hours and hours of film………..well, never mind. I seem to remember a couple of early turnovers and a couple of guys from WVU that have proven to be some of the best In the country giving our much slower LB and DBs problems. Is it possible that in the second quarter they became all of a sudden prepared? Because after a couple of personnel and scheme adjustment, UGA basically shut them down the rest of the game. That just didnt happen over on the sideline between downs after NOT preparing for weeks. Not every game we lose is a fault of unprepared.

I am excited about the game and the blackout. I think it could be just as effective as the blackout against Auburn, if everyone participates. I would not be surprised to see Hawaii come out in all white to counter our blackout. I think our team is going to be ready to take on Hawaii. Ever since the BCS bowls were announced it has been Hawaii this and Hawaii that. Everyone has seemed to forgotten about the 5th rank Bulldogs. Yes, I think Hawaii is Americas sweetheart and the nation is going to be pulling against us for them. I think we are going in there as a true underdog, and I think that will work in our favor. I think Hawaii is going to see what Georgia is all about and that we are a really good football team. I will be cheering in the stands, sporting my black, lets go Dawgs!!!!

Everyone who has some BS to say about Georgia’s season is straight up full of Sht! The reason Georgia beat those teams is because they aren’t as BAD A* as Georgia is this year! Plain and simple!

So, by what you say, UGA wasn’t as BAD A* as USC and UT. That must be why the didn’t win the SEC!!

Actually, I’m impressed that UGA doesn’t have any All-Americans. Think about it…to be ranked #5 (and yes, I think they should have been ranked higher) without any “high-profile” players speaks really well of the team as a whole.

To all you UGA fans (except for the really stupid ones…unfortunately, they don’t know who they are), it’s been fun interacting with you. I’m probably done with this blog. Gotta get ready for Christmas and then hit the road to New Orleans with stops along the way in California and Dallas.

Merry Christmas all, and good luck in the Sugar Bowl.

er 20, 2007 12:32 AM | Link to this We are so grateful to be in a BCS bowl that X-mas does not matter as much to Hawaii. You are so right as a team to feel slighted. We are honored to play a team that has such a rich history. We usually go to a bowl that pays $800,000 but the BCS pays$4.5+ mill!!! That is just peanuts to you (no pun) but that is the biggest pay day U of Hawaii has ever had. The recruiting budget was $50,000, but just doubled by the owners of Rio (in Las Vegas). Our team has more HAIR than any team period. We have more Polynesians also. We have a very macho fan base coming and spending over $3,500 each to go to this Super Bowl as we see it. Our AD gave Georgia 5,000 tickets before they were even for sale and if they are in a Hawaii section expect to be given a whole different kind of Aloha if you act up and want to be ‘necks. Otherwise Merry X-mas. We come from a proud culture and paradise, and no one is from a majority ethnic background like ya’ll. If you want a great time move to the Georgia section because we do not take kukai. Imagine your section having 5,000 Hawaii fans. 15,000 are flying in and 10,000 more from the rest of the USA.The other nonseason ticket holders have had to pay $200-500 a ticket and believe that Hawaii will prevail. Imagine that every where in New Orleans Hawaii fans will be in town for 6 days since the flights are so booked to Hawaii for the tourist season. How many tourist in Atlanta for the weather- a few thousand? We get millions without a BCS game and then the Pro Bowl is always sold out. I digress, the Dawgs are so upset they are not in the BCS bowl but look to the possibility to beat an unbeaten team, make friends from Hawaii, and just have fun helping New Orleans. By the way Paul Johnson of Tech was a Hawaii coach and uses the option that is a pain to defend.We might throw that in with the passing game to say we used a few running plays. I hope that Georgia fans respect the people of Hawaii as it sounds so vile to be stupid and call names of the nicest people found any where. We are both guest of the fine city that has two BCS bowls to help it recover, but that is so unfair since they are not charity cases, or stupid either.We will be so happy to be tourist in a grand place. Hawaii has a big new Years eve party for 5,000 plus in New Orleans and each of us will spend over $150 that night with proceeds going to help pay for meals, and equipment for the team. That is how we help support them even with the big pay day. Imagine a perfect season 12-0. We do believe! Oh by the way New England uses the Hawaii offense and they are undefeated too. Gulp 8-)

Dawg fans seem to be pretty respectful and with their program’s rich history - they are representing themselves with class. If we can keep our program going in the right direction, one day we’ll be mentioned in the same sentence as a lot of the great teams out there in the SEC.

Hoping to see a great game and have a few beers with some UGA fans on New Years Eve!

From a Kennesaw resident in Hawaii. I have been stationed in Hawaii now for 6 months and I do not think anyone in Georgia knows how nuts the entire state has gone over the team. EVERYONE in the state is sporting some kind of hat, shirt, button etc. for the team. Georgia needs to watch out…this is a very close knit team with something to prove. Even if they are down 21 points they do not quit. Never underestimate the power of the Haka.

Remember, you actively sought out OUR blog. Feel free to talk all the kukai you want but it’ll be settled on the field. Get ready for the big time WAC-boy. We ain’t Chokelahoma brah!

To all the doubting dawg fans, there are 2 things in life you absolutely have do as a bulldog fan: 1. Die someday. 2. Talk a lot of crap pre-game only to end up shutting the hell up post-game, like you did when you got embarrased by an unranked gamecocks at your own backyard. I strongly advise you to not make the same mistake again, but then again, I forgot we are dealing with a group of idiots with a combined IQ of 7. Oh yea, and an apology after the game is an option…if you are man enough.

Congrats to Marc Richt and the Georgia football staff for another fine year of developing student-athletes!

Georgia’s has a dismal graduation rate of 41 percent for all football players and 29 percent for African-American players are the lowest among the 64 bowl teams.

What kind of program tolerates this?

The information can be found in the The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida, which recently released its 2007-08 NCAA Bowl Academic Progress Rates and Graduation Success Rates Study.

Go Dawgs must mean go stand in the unemployment line!
