Wow, what is it with the Dawgs and these Peach-fil-A second-half comebacks?
Congrats to bowl offensive MVP Matthew Stafford and defensive MVP (you knew it would be him) … old reliable Tony Taylor.
And aren’t you damn glad our list of school traditions doesn’t include a silly dance like the VT band did at halftime?
They said during the awards presentation that it was the first time a Georgia team had beaten ranked opponents back to back to back.
If that doesn’t get the Dawgs back in the Top 20, somebody’s not paying attention!
More tomorrow.
IT’S GREAT TO BE A GEORGIA BULLDOG ON SATURDAY NIGHT!

The U. of Georgia could make history and simultaneously rid itself of its backwoods craphole academic and athletic reputation if it fired Mark Richt and hired a heifer. Imagine it. No woman has ever coached a football team, but why??? I’ll tell you why! Sexism, pure and simple! Does the coach actually play? No I don’t think so. There is no good reason why a woman shouldn’t be a coach. Most women can’t play (though a few large lesbians may be able to play well). This is a simple fact of life. On average, women are less strong physically than me. However, coaching has NOTHING to do with playing because the COACH DOESN’T PLAY! So, is UGA up for it? Is UGA a groundbreaking university of just the pathetic backwoods crapper like everyone says?

Quick points:
- The Jokies have 4 personal fouls. Is any Falcon fan who’s watched MeAngelo Hall the last 3 years surprised? What a bunch of undisciplined DELINQUENTS!!!
- Mike Bobo has arrived, and Mark Richt, you’ve just paved your way to a Nat’l Title for throwing your ego aside, just like Bobby Bowden did when he made YOU the play caller.
- Willie had his defense playing well. Are Willie’s defenses becoming, dare I say it… consistant? Or is he just setting us up for a big let down at some point next year?
Coutu, we’ve MISSED YOU!!! If he had never gotten hurt, we’d be 11-3 right now.
Charles Johnson had a hell of a game, and because of that, some agent is going to get into his head (through his wallet) and unless Coach Garner can do his greatest convincing job ever, we just saw No. 99 play his last game for UGA.
Matthew Stafford IS the Chosen One. The Force is with him. Use whatever cliche you want… Matt is the REAL DEAL (sorry Evander) and although the numbers weren’t mind blowing, he played with a David Greene-like poise combined with Shockley’s arm strength. Did y’all SEE that play fake! Very David Greene!
I cannot wait until Spring Practice, where I will once again predict everything truthfully for this Dawgs team like I did back in April when I had to suffer the slings and arrows of guys like Altamaha and Hunk.
This Peach Bowl (by the way, it’ll ALWAYS be the Peach Bowl, and because I gave my tickets to my son and daughter-in-law as a Christmas present, the wife and I had a party tonight where all the dishes had a peachy theme to them in protest) was almost as sweet as sUGAr.
Speaking of sUGAr, book your tickets for next year to ‘Nawlins. We will lose one game next year, and it won’t be to the Urban Myth. That’s right, we’re playing Auburn at home again.
2007 SEC Champions, Georgia Bulldogs, going into bowl season 12-1 with a shot at the Nat’l Title.
By YIPPPEEE! Dawgs Prove To Be Mediocre Team
December 31, 2006 01:06 AM | Link to this
It’s so nice to see the UGAy fans jumping up and down with the conclusion of a MEDIOCRE football season! A BLOWOUT of 51 pts by TENN at The Hedges…Losses to Vandy and KY…It EASILY could’ve been a 6 or 7 loss season, like next year WILL be.
The “5th Team from the SEC” is MANHANDLED for 30 minutes, then everyone changes the channel at halftime…So they miss that VT failed to show up for the 2nd half. All the country gets to see is the MISERABLE Dawgs show up for the 1st half - This is just TOO FUNNY!!
So it’s Great To Be A Dawg, HUH? What everyone else sees is that Mark Richt has brought Mediocrity to UGAy Athletics, to go along with the Mediocrity in UGAy Academics! A conference record of 4-4 is quite simply AVERAGE and NOT COMPETITIVE IN THE SEC, even though President Adams has unequivocally prioritized Athletics OVER Academics at a Georgia institution of (supposedly) Higher Learning — HOW EMBARRASSING FOR THE STATE OF GA!!
In fact, Mora will be FIRED for having a .500 (or less) season…But a .500 record in the SEC now has UGAy fans jumping up and down with JOY. “It’s a Mediocre Life!”
Great to be a Dawg? Not quite…More like SUCKS TO BE A DAWG…Unless you relish the feeling of being known as MEDIOCRE in the World of College Academics and Athletics! And if that’s the case, then you’ve found your home…

Methinks that you’re little jealous deep down on the inside.

Then you can learn that taking it from an 8th level troll isn’t all that bad.
And you’ll have found a new use for your replica lightsaber, I’m sure.
Son, 9-4 in NCAA football is not mediocrity. But it is a DOWN year for us.
For you Bugs, 9-4 would be your greatest year EVER. Too bad you’re going to finish a truly MEDIOCRE 9-5.

YIPPPEEE, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!? Shut the hell up and go back to the yech blog! The so-called mediocre #5 SEC team just pounded the #3 acc team. And we beat the runner-ups to boot.
This year is an aberration. Besides, Mora didn’t go .500 in his own division or else he would be in the playoffs and not looking in the want ads. Athletics is not a priority over academics, our fans just happen to contribute to the success of our teams, not gripe about how bad they are, not show up for games, and wonder why they are LESS than mediocre year after year.
Get the hell off our blawg boy, before you get whupped!!

Wow, how did I know someone was going to come in here and try to wreck the fun. This is our rebuilding year…this team is young. Every team goes thru one, Ohio State went through one, Tennessee went thru one, all teams go thru at least one. 9-4 is our rebuilding year and I will take it. If we had our kicker for the whole year we would probably be 10-3 or 11-2. So flame away if you want but I bet you won’t want to play us next year with an experienced quarterback, our 2 top WR’s back…thats right Sean Bailey is back, Lump and Moreno and King. Oh yeah, our defense will be faster and hit just a little harder. Rivals and SEC teams good luck in your bowl games except Florida and Tech…Can’t wait to see you take a pounding from West Virginia. Do the SEC proud.

Virginia Tech was not the #3 team in the ACC. It was #4. BC beat them 22-3. The “ACC #2” is not the seed, it’s the order in which the bowls pick.
Nice home win for UGA. The combined intelligence in that dome barely equaled the combined score.
Yee-haw. The saddest part of this whole thing is that Chik-Fil-A is closed tomorrow…it being Sunday, of course. No celebratory nuggets tray and free iced tea for all the trailer folk. As long as Pres. Adams is in charge, yee-haw, y’all can keep that graduation rate real nice and low. Just like it oughta be.
Does Va. Tech give out scholarships for the QB position?
Seriously, congrats on the Chik-Fil-A Bowl win. And if you can find me three people outside of this state that can tell you next Chik-Fil-A Bowl time who won this year’s Chik-Fil-A Bowl, I’ll buy you a new cinderblock for your house.

Great win, it also shows how weak the ACC is this year. Yes, we are getting better, but the VT defense must have been playing against GT, UNC, Duke, and Wake all year(oh, that’s right, they really were) to have only been giving up 9 ppg.

Ugh, Va Tech had the 3d best conference record in the ACC. They lost two conference games and BC lost three (NC State, Wake and Miami). Duh? Anyway you cut it Va Tech was at least the 3d best team in your conference. For such a smart mathmatician I would think you could figure this one out. Good luck against WVU…you will need it.

Nice to see the Nerds can take some time away from World of Warcraft to try to rain on our Chicken Nugget parade. Its also funny to note that however good (or awful) the NATS are, they will always have to live vicariously through other teams when they try to trash talk.
And another note for the nerds, that was the ACC’s #1 team that just got curb stomped at the dome by a “mediocre” Georgia squad.
And one last thing… Calvin Johnson is a complete tool who has been completely shut down by the Dawgs for three straight years! Reggie Ball 4 ever!

1990- you know the year Colorado won the national championship. Wasnt that the last time the socially challenged had a reason to get up on New Years day? I mean seriously…the last time Georgia played in the Peach Bowl was in 1998. Can anyone tell me the last time Georgia played in a Bowl game that had a gimmick blue field? Or didnt have to travel to play in SAN FRAN only to lose to Fresno State ?
You guys backed into the ACC title game. Your all world wr couldnt do s** in that game. He couldnt do s** in the three years he played Georgia. Beat us one time…ONE FREAKING TIME…then talk all you want.
What a great way to end a season that was not our best. To go through two really good teams (AUB,VT )and then a weak GTU team is a great way to end this season. With-in two years all of the Tech fans will be putting on National Champion Georgia Bulldog hats.

I love how Tech is calling UGA academically inferior..
When THREE of their players (including their “special” QB - the only player that should have his jersey retired by an opposing team) are declared ACADEMICALLY INELIGIBLE!
How many players from UGA were academically ineligible? Hmmm…that is a big ZERO.

As far as the sucking, well, once again, I have to admit that your sister is the very best. She could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
I’m not exactly sure what the “suck” refers to, but I do know that we own Georgia Tech in football.
I’m not sure if our hoops team sucks, or not, but I wouldn’t tell a 6’8” brotha from the country that he sucks. I wouldn’t even slightly allude to it. Too risky.

But, we uns still have the very best football team in the whole USofA. This game proofs why we must considered National Champeons. We need to be rated number one team in the country.
This game proofs that UGA will be national champeons next year also. If we don’t get it this year it is a rip off. Just cause the SEC is so strong we lost to a few power houses in the SEC only. Ok?
So just remember you heard it from BigCaliDawg first —- UGA is national champeons this year and next. This game proofs it baby!

VTech, Thanks. Great game if a bit strange the way the two halves were so different. College football is really a game of momentum. Lot like the Texas Tech and Texas games the last two nights. Two really hard hitting defenses for sure.
Agree that National Championship proclamations are a bit premature…maybe even a lot premature, but I think you will find a lot of fans feel that way about their school after a big and dramatic bowl win. The Dawgs have some holes to fill and NFL declarations could have a major impact. Still, this win should do wonders for us next year.

I’ve got to say this. For the record I am a Bama fan (and yes, a disappointed one) without a stake in either team. I have watched UGA on the tube in the big games. You folks are truly funny. Like Schultz said in his projections for 2007 Bulldog fans will project their next loss in 2012. Reality is that you beat one solid team : Auburn. If you didn’t notice AU was looking past you due to your record and the fact that you were coming off the UK loss. GT is awful and they whipped VT (number 14? Maybe a bit overrated, I’d put them around 25-30 at best) on the road. Look, all I’m saying is that you should try to discontinue the perennial tradition of overrating your team. USC returns many, WVU gets White and Slaton back, Michigan gets Henne and Hart back, Texas’ QB is at least as highly rated as a Fr. than Stafford with better athletes around him, not to mention Fla and Tenn who generally trump UGA outside of couple of recent seasons. UGA has a nice team but not an elite one. 10 wins and a berth in the SEC game would be a great season for you next year. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by hoping for more: the talent simply doesn’t support it. My early prediction for next year’s BCS championship is this year’s rose: USC/Mich. I may be wrong about that, but not about UGA being excluded.

Stafford had a decent 2nd half last night,but I wouldn’t build a statue of him quite yet.Oliver is a thug in shoulder pads.A pretty good player,tho.I believe Georgia will have a better 2007.The national rankings (GA was up to 9th until Tennessee) mean little unless you’re in the position of OSU and UF.Anyway,it’s not where you start,it’s where you finish.Good job Richt, Bobo,WM,all the players for turning your season around after TN,FL,KY,Vandy.

I think it is really funny, actually, to listen to all of the p** off tech fans who just can’t accept the fact that THEIR TEAM SUCKS!! You say that Georgia is an overrated team, but we beat you, and your little buddies from Blacksburg. You poke fun at Georgia losing to Kentucky, but what happened when Kentucky went head-to-head with the team that pulled your little panties down and spanked your bottom (That would be Clemson)? All you little worms always talk about academics. Well, next time you have a sec, why don’t you look up the graduation rate, and average gpa for each school and you will see that you aren’t the academic powerhouse that you think you are. Just ask Mr. Ball, future speech therapist!!!!
This was a big win for GA. Come from behind win, and only allowing 3 points in the second half. 189 total yards for VA Tech. 3rd straight game of not allowing 200 yards. 3rd straight victory over a ranked opponent. Where has this team been all year?

To BirdDawg and the rest of Georgia Nation: Congrats on the win. Mark Richt is a class act and the play calling was superb in the second half. But your players are PUNKS- even worse than VT last night. I havent seen a bunch of trash-talking thugs like that since Miami 10 years ago. Tech had 4 personals because the one who retaliates always gets caught. Massoqois’ cheap shot took out our best DB. Funny how well your offense moved after that. Oh well. Enjoy a nice home win. Both teams should be even better next year. Hopefully we’ll meet again.

I’ve got to say this. For the record I am a Bama fan (and yes, a disappointed one) without a stake in either team. I have watched UGA on the tube in the big games. You folks are truly funny. Like Schultz said in his projections for 2007 Bulldog fans will project their next loss in 2012. Reality is that you beat one solid team : Auburn
Phat Phalcon you said “You folks are truly funny” As a Bama fan that is a Hoot as you have run off so many coaches. Mike Shula won ten games last year and goes 6 and 6 this year and you fire him. As for quality wins we had 4 this year as we beat South Carolina at SC 18-0, big rivalry game, we beat # 5 Auburn 37-15 at Auburn, also a Very Big Rivalry Game, we beat # 16 GT 15-12 at home,our biggest rivalry game and # 14 Virginia Tech at Atlanta the # 2 team from the ACC. Of which many of the experts were saying was the best team in the ACC at the end of the season and also the NCAA’s # 1 ranked defense for 2 straight years in Division 1A. Just like GatorRick above you couldn’t just say congratulation on a great win and making the SEC look good by winning. You had to come on our blog and talk trash, so please refrain from expressing your opinion about the Dawgs and our expectations about our TEAM future on our blog.

Big Dawg there’s no need to get huffy. The “folks” I referenced were those similar to a few of the first posters on this blog who are already calling UGA nat’l championship contenders in ‘07, just as Schultz was referring to those fans who post on his blog. As far as my team I agree with the dismissal of Shula (Curry, on the other hand, got screwed). Watching him is like watching Mora. Decent guy, but in over his skis. I for one think the Falcons staff could be good college coaches. The rah rah attitude actually reminds me of Pete Carroll who failed in his first NFL stint, but I digress. All I’m saying is that next year when you lose your third game but still have a very good record you should be happy. Your team at that point is performing to its talent level.

Yes, I agree with some Ffolks that it is a little premature for next years NC run. At least we are in position to be in that mix unlike “Bama” GT to name a few.
If we can fill some holes we should be a top 10 team for the next couple years. At saying that I believe UT and UF will have a lot to say about that because, as much as I hate to say it, they will be strong as well. Not to mention LSU & Auburn.
Let’s hope last night was the start of something special. Go Dawgs! Go SEC!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AND BE SAFE!

I WAS WRONG, i SAID THAT THE SCORE WOULD BE 31-10 dAWGS. AT LEAST I GOT THE 31 RIGHT. “My Boy”, Matthew Stafford was named “MVP” I think and this is a direct result of coach Bobo, in the 2nd half, started calling his type of game which was a North/South type of “O”, not the old East/West “O” he called in the 1st half. Once Stafford started throwing N/S, the Dawgs started playing “O”. Con grats to all the coaching staff and to Matthew Stafford f0or haning in there, never quiting and leading the team to the last 3 victories in a row. We’ll be in the hunt in ‘07.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Dawg Fans are GIDDY and can’t see what EVERYONE ELSE SEES: UGAy EEEKED OUT Another W in a MISERABLE SEASON! It was a COMPLETE SEASON of Snafus and POOR EXECUTION…And the Dawg Fans are GIDDY!! lmao
Hats off to UGAy Football…It used to mean something when UGAy did something like win a Bowl Game. Now It’s Like: WHO CARES?
FACE IT: UGAy SPORTS HAS SUNK TO A NEW LOW! It doesn’t matter WHAT TECH DOES MONDAY…DAWG FANS are left to PONDER: Is this what we have to look forward to every football season now, a .500 TEAM in the SEC?
YES, IT IS…Enjoy your FATE, Dawg Fans! Even get GIDDY if you feel like it…And obviously you feel like it…The rest of the Sports World sees NOTHING TO CHEER!

Dude, you gott get some sleep, otherwise, you’re going to miss the Bugs get stomped by WVU.
You know what’s really funny?
Bug Football.
It’s a joke… get it?
All you have to say is Bug Football and people start laughing. Add in Reggie Ball and you have a laugh riot on your hands.
And if you mention Dungeons and Dragons, ugly girls you still can’t score with because they’re holding out for something better, Star Wars, Star Trek, and sitting at home playing with your slide rule, well, then…
That’s comedy gold!!!
It’s so easy, so very easy. Why do you make it so easy for us Bugs?
So you know, because your closeted @$$ has been bothering us going on 12 hours now, you just bought access for the Dawg Nation to jump on y’all’s board the second your 50-3 thumping at the hands of WVU goes final. You know that, right?

Keep it coming gt-babies…those of you that have little else to do but to rain on our parade…unfortunately, when we decide to return the favor to the ‘pimply-faced techies’ - it won’t be a parade you’re having, but we’ll be there to bury you further in the aftermath of your being hammered in the Gator Bowl (gad how I hate to use the ‘g’ word). Seems to me that your ‘vents’ may be prompted by the knowledge that Mr. Stafford is a pretty special QB and will only get better. By the way, credit him with the ‘drops’ that the TV folks were so compulsive about, and he had a 20-reception, four touchdown outing. In fact, seems to me the ‘review’ guys were asleep or ‘non-existant’ - couple of times rulings on the field should have been overturned including the long pass to Milner that they placed on the two…his knee never touched the ground as he rolled over the DB - butt-first - into the end-zone.
Get used to the name guys - Matthew Stafford - he’ll be running the string into three more…in fact you guys might as well petition to have the series ended right now…you’re gonna be stuck on ever how many games you think you’ve won over the years - after you take away the forfiets that is - so why subject yourselves to more humiliation?

GA easily defeated two of the 3 best teams in the ACC. VT is the best followed by Wake and then GA Yeck. The ACC is a terrible fb conference. Look forward to many more years of losing to GA, Yeckies, and seeing Ga fighting for a NC every yr.

Mike, ACC is a terrible football (not fb) conference? Georgia degree, I guess. Have you forgotten that you lost to Vandy and UK? No that was not in basketball but the only thing that Georiga is known for….football. Georgia fights for a national championship (not NC) every year? Where were you this year.

This was our down year, G, and we still beat your @$$, and we’re going to finish with a better record that your @$$ as well.
Only the pimpliest, most socially retarded Bug comes on a blog and tries to correst someone for writing in shrt-hnd (that would be short-hand, you sexually repressed moron).
Yeah, we had a team full of lower-classmen, a true freshman QB, and we managed to finish our year beating a top-5 team, and two overrated top-16 teams.
Bodes well for next year, I think.
Hey G, does this mean anything to you: 6 yrs!!!
How about this: Mark Richt has never lost to the Bugs.
Or this: You’re such a socially retarded, sexually repressed Bug, that you can’t even score with your own right hand!!!
Go blow yourself up, terrorist G.

I’m going to save everyone the time of reading BuLLDawg’s comments to summarize them in one paragraph right here with his typical misleading spin:
And our should-be RS Matthew Stafford could not even complete half of his passes again and tried to give the game away with another pick. He also can’t even average a yard per carry. If our defense didn’t score for the O we didn’t ahve a chance. Joe T should have started and we would have bloody won by 40.
OK, stop laughing now and give the game ball to the QB now and hopefully for the next 3 years. Stafford should have completed 70% and had 3 TDs if we had receivers who could catch. It wasn’t the best year, probably due to Coach Richt swapping him in and out because of misguided loyalty, but he finally hit his stride at the end and we will be MUCH better next year because of the experience he gained this year.

Wow!! What a thing of beauty, huh??? What a great end to a ‘down’ year for us. For those of you who have seen the replay, or will, watch the end around fake that Stafford put on in the 4th quarter. First, sooooooo reminiscent of Greene, who was so good at pulling off the fake, but also if you watch, it should have been ruled a touchdown cuz when they tackled Milner, he rolled over the defender and never touched the ground until he was in the end zone. I know is’t past the point and we ended up scoring anyway, but that was one the refs(and coaches) missed and could have been big. Anyway, counting down until OSU in September and I can’t wait!!!! GO DAWGS!!!

Let’s see, we destroyed one of the four mentioned on the road, we had another beat handily before tanking in the 2nd half, and the 3rd was neck and neck to the end in what amounts to a road game every year. And, while we might not be close to the best in the SEC this year, we’re still more than good enough to beat two of the top 4 team in the Always Chump Conference. And I guess KY doesn’t look so bad after spanking the team the destroyed Tech. Maybe the ACC should move to I-AA to have a chance to win. Also, what is Tech known for? As a UGA grad, I’d rather be from a school known for football than:
1) Dungeons and Dragons parties 2) Medieval role playing 3) Star Trek conventions 4) its hellhole location 5) a lack of women from the US 6) a place where the outgoing ones stare at your shoes instead of their own
I think the SciFi channel might have a Star Trek marathon today, maybe you should all leave and come back some other time.

You’re playing in the lowest of New Year’s Day Bowls because the higher rated bowl(the one our Dawgs played in) spurned you because they had a choice and wanted no part of the “Jacket Nation”. New Year’s Day doesn’t exactly mean what it used to and some bowl not on New Years(like the CFA) are actually higher tier bowls and I think even you know that. CFA gets first choice, Gator gets next, that is the pecking order and you were passed over even in your awful conference you can’t make the top 2. The Gator didn’t want your team either, but they had no choice. If bowls had a choice, you’d be playing or northern California in Boise as usual.

You know, having grown up around Athens, most people don’t realize that a 9-4 season isn’t too shabby, especially in beating three ranked opponents to end the season. Yeah, we lost to Kentucky and Vandy, but it’ll be another near-30 years before they both do it again in the same season. Also, Georgia will have a week off between the Troy and Florida game which is only going to help during the season. Go Dawgs!!

this is true ga tech fan here, and i must say that was a very impressive performance last night. i have to admit that i was pulling for va. tech to win, not just because it was against u guys but because, i pull for the ACC and righfully so, seeing as though my team plays in the ACC. u guys beat a very good va tech team last night, i was impressed with the poise from your QB, the play calling from your new offensive coordinator and the passion on defense. i knew the team would feed off momentum once you gained a little and ride it all the way to the end. i was in athens when we played you guys a few weeks ago and i could feel the momentum shift and knew when we were in trouble. i got that same feeling last night and could just feel the shift of momentum and knew va tech was in trouble. it pains me to say that after a very exciting season and after seeing you guys lose to kentucky and vandy, u were very impressive down the stretch. beating auburn was no small task, most of you wont admit, but beating ga tech was not easy and could have easily gone our way, and beating who some may consider the best team in the acc in a va tech team show a lot about your program. my hat goes off. i was man enough to come in here and talk trash when you lost and was man enough to give you your props after you beat us. its only fitting to show somw sportsmanship and congratulate you on your latest victory. way to end a season and way to let people across the nation know that the state of georgia is passionate about college football. i cant wish you luck for next year, because its just not in me yet to do so, but i can be a man and give you props on the way you end this season. so congratulations again and i’ll see you when you come north ave next season.

Funny how Tech fans have to bring up Florida. I mean if I am not mistaken in the last six years we have beaten Florida more then Tech has beaten Georgia. So G is for GT before bringing Florida up just know that it does not really help your cause at all. 6 years in a row is all I am saying.
Teddy- Look out in 07 for Isreal Troupe. He should do big things for us. I am looking forward to seeing Hill as well. Hopeful Momass will return to his Fros year. Big Nedarris Ward should do some big things. Bottom line is if and of course it is a big if we keep guys injury free and out of trouble we will be playing in a bigger Bowl next year….not going to say NC but atleast in a BCS bowl. Oh yeah Tech fans…..7 years in a row this time next year. GO DAWGS

Not many programs have won 61 games in the last 6 years. We are not national championship contenders yet but I do believe within the next 3 years or so we will. 2 SEC championships in the last 5 years, 4 bowl wins and a program that is graduating players. 13 players on last nights team have already graduated. Many others will graduate this spring. To all of those that come on here and bash. I guess you have nothing else better to do. Why not go on your schools’ blog and trump your program? To all the Techsters that keep talking trash about our program and our academics. Remember Tyrone Sorells? He flunked out of UGA and went on to Tech to play for several years. Six years in a row is a long time and it could be extended a few more. Hats off to a great coaching job last night by the Georgia staff. UGA coaches definately outcoached VA Tech and Beamer ball. I am proud to be a UGA contributor, alumini and fan. Our school is rich of tradition and history. Glory Glory to Ole Georgia. Go Dawgs

couple of notes. Carter Strick just will not give Matthew Stafford credit for anything, he didn’t today and hasn’t all year. WAS STASFFORD NAMED “MVP” OF THE GAME?. mr REALLY PROVED HIMSELF TO BE A HEAD COACH LAST NIGHT BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE WANTED TO STEP IN AND CALL SOME PLAYS. BOBO! HE BECAME HIS OWN MAN IN THE 2ND HALF AND STARTED CALLING THE PLAYS “HIS WAY” AND OUR “O” STARTED GOING NORTH/SOUTH AND SCORING POINTS. STAFFORD, A NAME FOR OTHER SEC TEAMS TO REMEMBER BECAUSE HE’S GOING TO CAUSE A WHOLE LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR OTHER TEAMS OVER THE NEXT 2-3 YEARS AND FINALLY, i’M MORE EXCITED ABOUT ‘07 THAN I’VE BEEN ABOUT ANY SEASON SINE MR HAS BEEN AT Ga AND I DO BELIEVE WE’LL BE IN THE HUNT FOR A “NC” GAME BEFORE MATTHEW LEAVES.
