The nation does not want to see UGA in the Rose Bowl. They want to see USC and Ohio State. UGA will still get a good bowl to play in. I think you missed the boat on SEC coaching whiners. Nick Saban tops the list. After comparing an Alabama loss to Pearl Harbor we see just how ignorant Saban is. You only have a few more weeks to dislike Les Miles anyway. He will be Michigan’s head coach next year which opens up the LSU job. Hey how about this. Nick Saban, by his standards, has been at Alabama for quite a while. Maybe he goes back to LSU and gets to know some of his old recruits.

By this time next week, Les’ deal at LSU will be up. Michigan has asked permission to enter negotiations with Miles, so he’s probably gone. It’s good for all. Les really isn’t a SEC kinda coach, and he’ll soon be dressed out in maize and blue while singing “Hail to the Victors.” Michigan is better long-term match for Miles.

I am just praying that UGA ends up with Roses and USC wipes your #$# up and down the field. I would watch that one from start to finish. Carroll would clean CMR’s clock and Bobo would not have a clue how to score on the Southern Cal defense.

Your current winning streak includes maybe 1.5 difficult teams, including Florida and I give the 1/2 to KY. You are playing good ball, but not good enough to compete with the OU’s or USC’s of this world.

This entire program is just so full of itself it is not funny. You have not been close to a national title in 27 years and only within the past few years have you got back in the running with some respect, and all of a suddn you are some powerhouse? LOL!!!

Yeah, I was never sure what to think about Les Miles but after his whining this week, he’s another SEC HC that’s a big cry baby, taking lessons from Urban Cryer in Swampland. Here’s to hoping the Vowels and Phat Phil wax them on Sat. night in ATL. GA will go to a BCS game regardless because of our classy program and one of the best HC in the country. GO DAWGS!

Bill, That last sentence sums it up for me. LSU had two chances at the number 1 slot and blew it. And I liked them all year long to be the NC’s. Not our fault people voted us up there. Since Les is leaving for U of M what difference would it make anyway. We have defeated 5 straight bowl eligible teams by double digits to end the season. I say we are doing okay and I hope we can do well in one of the BCS bowls. Miles is not the genius he pretends to be. He made some dumb moves in the loses and is jus tmad at himself for having to debate the issue of getting back to NC game.

Ah, yes, another Techie living vicariously through another team since his own team couldn’t beat Georgia to save their lives. Here’s to eight in a row next year, jackass.

Since LSU would really have to blow Tennessee out of the stadium this weekend to leapfrog Georgia in the BCS rankings — which I don’t think they will — I’ll go ahead and root for them, The Hat and all. I’ve kind of gotten to enjoy Tennessee fans stewing over not having won a conference title in nearly a decade, and I have no desire to see that streak end now.

A little whining is not a bad thing … or … the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Urban Meyer begged his way into the NC game. Coach Richt should not be sitting on his hands and letting the chips fall where they may. He should be lobbying for whatever bowl he really wants to go to — Rose, Orange, or otherwise. He should be having the SEC make phones calls and call in debts among the bowl organizers. I think USC-UGA would have national appeal. It would be East versus West, SEC vs. Pac-10, the 2 hottest teams in the US, the first SEC in the Rose Bowl in forever, Knowshon Moreno the freshman sensation, two of the hottest college coaches going head-to-head. Les is doing what Urban did last year and we just happen to be the target. Last year Michigan was the target and I’m sure they thought Urban was a whiner as well. We should be careful because in 2008 Richt may need to be the whiner to argue for UGA to get into the NC game and I would not want our 2007 arguments thrown back in our face.

Having said that I think West Virginia wins in a blowout, and I would not be surprised to see Missouri win. I hope some underdog like Missouri wins the National Championship as it would be nice for some team that has never won it (or hasn’t won it in a generation or two) to get the honor.

My biggest fear is that UGA will get the shaft on the BCS bowls and end up in another bowl, pout over it, and then lose to an inferior team who cares about the bowl game. We have seen that happen time after time, and the team that feels like “we deserved better” almost always loses.

If you guys don’t think UGA can play with Ohio St. and USC then you are stupid or you are crazy! I think any team in the upper echelon of the SEC can play with these teams. UF, LSU, Tenn, Auburn, any of these teams can play and probably would beat Ohio St. or USC.

What a great year for a playoff!

Let’s hope Miles doesn’t leave. He is an awful coach and seems to make game changing decisions in a negative way in almost every big game. LSU should have lost at least 3 games (Auburn win was a joke) and there is no doubt that the DAWGS would wipe the (georgia dome) floor with them. It wouldn’t really be close.
On another note, as a Georgia fan I think you have to pull for a shot at USC in the Rose bowl. Playing against the supposed best on such a big stage, in a part of the country that we normally don’t play in, would do a huge amount of good for the program. We would also beat USC convincingly setting up next season’s #1 preseason ranking. Sic ‘em!!!

UGA is not an elite program. When was the last national championship? 1980. How many have you won? 2 (and one was shared). How many Heismans? 1.

Webster’s defines “elite” as, “the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons. “

UGA is not even regularly the best in their conference. Since the induction of the SEC Championship game, three teams have appeared more than UGA - Florida, Bama, and Tennessee. Arkansas is tied with UGA for the fourth spot. Does this mean they are an elite team? No.

It’s hard to believe that UGA is “the choice or best” of the SEC, let alone the national scene. Are you good in the SEC? Sure. You can beat most teams anytime. BUT, you’re not the best. You just have to face the facts: UGA is a regional power, not a nationally elite squad.

That would be two heismans (frank sinkwich and herschel walker). UGA has finished in top ten 5 of last 6 years and top twenty-five for the last 10. Averaging over 10 wins a year for the last seven years with two conference championships in the best conference is definately “elite”. UGA has also finished the year ranked 1st in country 3 other times ‘27, ‘46, ‘68 and has a total of 12 SEC championships. As far as public perception,nearly every national radio personality or commentator will routinely refer to UGA when talking about national powers. It has been that way for years. Even with all of the history and numbers, UGA could possibly be entering it’s best stretch ever.

Who really cares about the Heisman? Look how many great players over the years who are truly wonderful and have been overlooked.Does Peyton Manning ring a bell and I’m not even a Vol fan. I’m always a little curious to see who wins because it’s become such a meaningless award.

Objective fan,

Just off the top of my head Oklahoma St (BEST OFFENSE) UCLA BYU Colorado Ohio State (2) Wisconsin (2) Boilermakers Va Tech Boise St (remember we COULDN’T Win)

All UGA wins.

Now, schedules are made years in advance so it’s hard to predict who will be good 3 and 4 yrs down the line. Case in point; Colorado. When we scheduled them they were a powerhouse; it’s not UGA’s fault they were down when we played them.

Next, compare our schedule vs. any other school. Who, in their 4 out of conference games, schedules only powerhouses. Remember, we are locked into GT so don’t penalize us for that either. We can’t help it if they are a down team every year. They are our in-state rivals and we must schedule them. That leaves 3 games left. What Athletic Department in their right mind would schedule 3 BCS conference teams to play in addition to the 8 BCS conference team games we already have scheduled.

Ohio State didn’t USC didn’t Missouri didn’t West Virginia, (HA!) didn’t Hawaii didn’t

NOBODY DOES!

UGA is just as “elite” as any team this year in college football and deserves to be ranked in the top 4 in the nation.

You are a POSER!

UGA is the winningest team in the SEC over the last 6 years and 11 years!

Best Records over last 11 Years:

UGA is 106-32 UF is 102-35 UT is 102-35

UGA is the ONLY SEC team to be ranked in the TOP 25 for 10 straight years. UGA has 2 Conf Championships in 3 appearances since 2001 (so Ark has appeared in the game 3 times - they have never won the thing). UT may have appeared more times than UGA but they have won the game 2 times. Florida was not relevant until 1990 when SOS arrived, before that they had NEVER won a Conference Title (their 1st SEC Title was 1991 -a shared title)!

UGA is 71-19 since 2001, with 5 10+ win seasons.

UGA was 13-1 in 2002, same record that LSU and UF had when they won it all. Just the cards didn’t fall our way like they did for other teams as there happened to be two undefeated teams that year (Miami-OSU).

UGA is 10-2 against Ranked Opponents ON THE ROAD, and is 24-14 against ranked opponents overall since 2001. UGA is 6-4 against Top 10 teams, including 3-1 on the road.

UGA has 12 SEC Championships, 2 National Titles, 2 Heisman winners, and 66 All Americans.

UGA has appeared in 42 Bowl Games, which puts them 6th on the all-time list. They have appeared in 2 (soon to be 3) BCS Bowl Games.

UGA currently has the SECOND most players in the NFL on rosters.

UGA is one of 11 programs with 700 wins (a list that does not include UF or LSU).

So, “Objective Fan” before you open your jealous mouth, why don’t you do some actual research on the facts!

As for the bowl, WVa will win and OU will beat Mizou. That will put UGA in the Rose against USC who will wax our a*******e$. But even getting beat in the Rose will be a good thing for the team and CMR because they will see what needs to be done to win the NC in ‘08.

The simple fact is that if you’re a regional power in the SEC, then by default, you’re a national power given that the SEC is the best conference year in and year out. Also, I don’t know which rustbelt state some of you come from, but we don’t consider Michigan, Ohio State, or Wisconsin elite programs either given their pathetically weak regular season schedules and their horrible performances everytime they match up with an SEC team.

I would be rooting for LSU if I were you. That way Tennessee wouldn’t come to Athens and hang half a hundred on you again…

Congratulations on beating Tennessee on the recruiting front. At least you can beat them in something.

“If you guys don’t think UGA can play with Ohio St. and USC then you are stupid or you are crazy! I think any team in the upper echelon of the SEC can play with these teams. UF, LSU, Tenn, Auburn, any of these teams can play and probably would beat Ohio St. or USC.”

jack- you are crazy if you think Auburn would probably beat Ohio State or USC. i think Georgia, UF, and LSU could compete with Ohio State and USC but Auburn and Tennessee im not so sure about. Tennessee got destroyed by a Cal team that USC took to the woodshed a few weeks ago. Auburn has played USC twice this decade and got clocked twice.

USC vs Georgia would be a good matchup just to see how we stack up against the best but USC is finally healthy and starting to look like the USC everyone thought they were. They are scary right now.

UGA, like every other good team in America is capable of winning or losing against any team, so all the blah, blah, blah is childish and a waste of time. I think any of the major bowls would be great, although a rematch of last years bowl with Viginia Tech would be my last choice. Tech is certainly a great team, and so is USC, Oklahoma, and others. I think a new match-up would be better though. Go DAWGS!

Hello, all you Dawg homers.

Perhaps, after the bowls are completed, you can drive north on I-85 and get on I-77 north. Once you get to the West Virginia state line, you will encounter a sign that reads, “Welcome to West Virginia, Leg-humpers, home of the national champion West Virginia Mountaineers.”

Of course, you can ignore the giant middle finger painted on the sign.

Like Phat Phil or not The Vols beat us in the division. A Vol victory only brings more credibility to the eastern division. To hell with Miles, he doesn’t matter anyway. The Dawgs would have beaten either team in the CG. Neither one will leep frog Georgia in the BCS anyway it’s a moot point. It’s a matter of go with your heart or go with the division.

Frankly, I would love to see a match up with USC and UGA in the RB. I think it would be great game. Unlike some posts on this blog, I don’t think it would be a blowout either way. Two hot teams going at it - what could be better than that?

UGA is known pretty much as a SEC football school in CA and is well respected for that perception. Although UGA has made a name for itself in the national scene, I don’t think most people on the west coast include UGA as an “elite” team, at least not yet. I think UGA is getting there, and I think your fans should be VERY proud of that. A few more years of excellence and participation in the NC game a couple of times would probably push UGA into the “elite” status. Of course, winning a NC would solidify that perception. The 1980 NC is way too long ago to talk about IMHO.

Anyway, that’s the view of this Trojan fan. Hope we meet in the Rose!

That being said, the actual UT football team played a hell of a season, coming back from the dead several times. Good luck to both teams, but go Tigers.

I would love to see the Dawgs in the Rose Bowl, but a cross-country trip to Pasedena isn’t fiancially feasible for a college student. I’m hoping for Miami.

I’m with you Bluezilla, I live in Knoxville so I know a good bit about UT. The people that live in the actual city of Knoxville are very nice, they love their Vols and are not scared to show it. The vast majority of them are classy, humble fans, but the students at UT are complete rednecks. I have never been verbally abused as bad in my life than after the game this year as I walked down The Strip (the street next to campus with cheap restaurants and trashy frat bars). I think the fans that give UT a bad reputation are from the rural areas and the mountains of Tennessee. I’m originally from Georgia and have been to Gulf Shores AL, Panama City, and Myrtle Beach, so I have seen my fair share of white trash, but I was not prepared for the Wal Mart fifteen miles outside of Knoxville. It was a freak show, it is true, they do “gett marrid” to their sisters up here.

Dawg fans…we have to face the facts.We are not an elite school.

We are not an elite school like Ohio State because we could not schedule youngstown state,kent state,Arkon,along with powerhouse big ten conference teams like Minnesota,and northwestern for 2007.

We are not elite school like USC which schedules Idaho and loses to Pac 10 powerhouses like Stanford in 2007.

We are not an elite school like LSU which scheduled middle tennessee state,Tulane, and LA.Tech in 2007.LSU is elite because they were ranked #1 twice this season.So elite that they lost the ranking to loses at Kentucky and to down and out Arkansas.Georgia is just not that elite like LSU.We hear,”But it was in overtime”…a lose is a lose is a lose.If you need more time,so what its still a lose.

We are not elite like West Virginia because we did not schedule Western Michigan or Marshall in 2007.Their top competition was UConn.God why cant Georgia schedule UConn as our top Competition.

We are not elite like Tennessee because we did not schedule Arkansas State or UL lafeyette in 2007.See this was suppose to be the year that Tennessee was suppose to compete for the national championship.But it is difficult for them when they were blown out by California,blown out by Florida,and blown out by glup…Alabama, and survived South Carolina,Vandy,and Kentucky on missed field goals. Yes Tennessee is surely an elite team of national championship caliber for 2007.But in the year of your National Championship run you did make it to the SEC title game.But we (UGA) have been to it several times and they say Georgia is not an elite program so then Tennessee must not be an elite program.

We are not elite like Michigan.We could not schedule and lose to App.State.No that takes an elite program.

Normally I would have a comment on Georgia Tech. But their record speaks for itself.They sux.Nothing elite about suxing unless you are Jena Jamison.

What have the Dawgs produced this year?Not much. In a year clearly labeled rebuilding by the media and the team itself…Georgia beat Florida,Auburn,Tech and finished either tied or second(which ever you like) in the SEC East.Won six in a row to finish the regular schedule at #4 in the country.

Usually when you finish the season in the top 10…that means you are a top or elite team.Georgia has been their much of the Mark Richt era.

The real fact for 2007 is there really is no powerhouse team this year in college football.So for 2007 all you Dawg beaters understand this, Georgia is just as elite as any program in the country.Including yours.

Go Dawgs!And to hell with Ga Tech!

I am a Vols fan and will state what every knowledgeable football team knows. UF is the best team in the conference. Period. If you somehow were able to schedule UF and UGA for a rematch in Jacksonville next weekend, everyone and their brother knows that UF would be favored. Just like if you scheduled UGA and UT for a rematch at a neutral site, UGA would be favored. And they should be. But for UGA fans to prance around and act like they are somehow entitled to a better ranking than LSU is just ridiculous. And quit throwing out the “late season loss” argument. LSU lost twice. In triple overtime. UGA got its tail whipped by a second-rate UT team (that I still love) and lost to a now irrelevant and at the time overrated Gamecock team (that Vandy blew out). Let’s not forget that UGA would have and should have lost to VU to had it not been for an extremely fortuitous fumble late in the game (before you start your yelping, UT almost lost to VU as well but we sure as hell didn’t have any turnovers go our way to fuel our fourth quarter comeback… it was just some great 4th Quarter D, some well executed O, and some over-conservative play calling by Bobby Johnson). SEC Championships are won and lost on the field. No extra-weight assigned to late season losses or forgiveness for early season losses. It is just “what did you do on the field?” Period. What did Tennessee do on the field? 35-14. Over a team that tied with us for the same record in conference and may have had a worse record than us overall had we played Okie State in Neyland and the Dawgs gone out to Berkley instead.

I realize that blogs are for fun bickering and back and forth (heck, I am engaging in a little discussion right now obviously). But quit with the UGA is FOR SURE better than UF, UT, or LSU. You don’t know that … The Dawgies just need to enjoy the nice season they put together and do what they do best. Dream about next year.

You don’t know that”? Who gave you your amazing extrasensory powers that we lowly Dawgs don’t have?

You can run your mouth all you want about what Florida would do or what Georgia would do in a rematch, but it’s pointless. We beat Florida. There’s no changing it now, and while you can claim that Florida is the better team at the moment, face it, you have precisely zero on-the-field evidence to back it up.

If I were you, I’d spend a little less time worrying about Georgia and a little more time worrying about LSU, but hey, it’s been a long time since y’all won an SEC championship game; I shouldn’t be surprised you don’t know how to act in a situation like this.

But the real point was not cream puff schedules. It was that so called elite schools are playing in weak a* conferences, scheduling weak a* out of conference opponents and saying “we are elite but Georgia is not.Pure BS.I will say this…our schedule is a hell of a lot tougher then Ohio State.

The thing about this year is that apparently everyone is weak. The SEC is in a down year, the ACC is no good, Missouri and Kansas can’t be good becasue they are from the BIG 12 North, the Big Tens down. Who is good this year? LSU 2 losses, FL 3, USC lost to Stanford, Texas??, Oregon fell off the Earth, no on besides UGA fans think we are worth anything. Is every team mediocre or is every team pretty good? I have to go with the later. People think we are still in the eighties and early nineties when there were only five teams worth watching. The NCAA needs to wake up and realize its time for a playoff. I wish we were talking about an upcoming sixteen team playoff instead of who has an elite program. The NFL is quickly becoming a monopoly with tonight’s game on the NFL network.

LSU is the most over rated team in history. They have lost 2 games (Kentucky and Arkansas) and have been involved in several miracle wins that have just barely kept them out of the 4 loss column. I have no idea why the media has continued to put them in such high esteem. They have become the Ohio state of the south. If somehow Ohio state gets back in the national champ game, I will refuse to watch it. They are the least deserving of everyone in the top 10. I hope Les Miles and his hat go on up to Michigan where he can whine about losing the little Ten for a while. As for Georgia, they will not get a chance at whomever is No 1 cause WVA will not lose to lowly PITT.

35-14, talk about living in a dream world. Vandy was so far ahead of you that anyone would have turned conservative with their biggest playmaker hurt and out of the game. Kentucky also had you beaten only to miss a field goal as Vandy did. The only reason you beat UGA is because of the schedule. It was our first road game with a bunch of young kids who grew up fast. If we played you now it would be no contest. Just looking at common opponents would tell you that UGA is better than LSU. The USC team that played UGA was not the same one that played LSU or Tennessee for that matter. Oh yes and the much weaker (without Jasper Brinkley) USC team had you beat also except for yet another missed field goal. I was actually pulling for Tenn this weekend until I read your nutty comments. Now I guess I will have to pull for neither.

You sound like a relatively reasonable Vol fan so I will address one of your questions. Why is Georgia rated higher in the BCS and even most likely after the SECCG will be ranked ahead of the winner? I’ll explain for you: The BCS as we know has many flaws but it is the only system we currently have. The same formula is used across the board for every team, is mathematical and human error driven. But it is the same system. Here’s why:

Georgia (two losses)lost early to a ranked SC (minus points for loss, plus points to both teams ranking) Georgia lost much in the same manner midway in the season to a ranked Vol team (both in the top 20)

LSU (two losses) regardless what Miles says…a loss is a loss. Lost early to KY a ranked team(minus points for loss plus points for KY’s ranking. Lost to unranked AR. (minus for loss minus for unranked loss) For the BCS ranking to change it will have to happen on the human side. To the computers it will not matter that LSU played an extra game. The human side are the Coaches and AP voters, the extra win will have to impress the polls for “extra” points for LSU. Unlikely after their last late loss. The exception is teams above them losing but teams not playing and teams playing and winning benefit the same.

TN (three losses) Again, a loss is a loss. Vols have three. Vols can win the SECCG and still won’t go ahead of UGA even with their defeat of Georgia for the reasons stated above.

Don’t like it? Lobby for a playoff system. But this is the system we have. It’s not unfair nor favorable to Georgia nor is it to LSU or TN. Make sense?

By Dawg Fud

November 29, 2007 3:14 PM | Link to this

Normally I would pull for LSU but it seems like it would favor Georgia for Tennessee to win.

I do not have any love for UT, but they whipped us fair and square. I have to tip my cap to them…but I do not have to like ‘em.

I would LOVE to play in the Rose Bowl. To be the best you gotta play the best. I think it would be a close game but USC is extremely talented and could bust it big at any moment. The game would also give us a solid guage on what to expect from ASU next season in Tempe.

Last, in regards to Frank Sinkwich winning the Heisman in 1942…his acceptance speech is quite moving and if you have ever seen it you know what I am talking about. A different time, a different generation. Phi Phi Kappa Alpha, Frank.

SECCG should be a great one. Wish we were in it!

I fail to see why everyone is up in arms about being a conference champion. Football is the only sport in which people moan and complain about it. Why not NCAA basketball? Why not NCAA baseball? Why not NCAA softball? I can honestly say that if Georgia was in the same position as LSU, I would not whine and moan and complain. Everyone should have a shot in the national title game if chosen. That is why the BSC committee has repeatedly chosen not to make that a requirement, and I applaud them for that. Then again, the next time someone in basketball wins the NCAA crown and doesn’t win their conference, let’s just crown someone else.

As for the SECCG, I wish the NCAA would reinstate ties for this one game, and it would end up 0-0. Then again, if Tennessee can get it overtime, LSU is sure to LOSE!

First of all, Nick Saban did not say Alabama losing was like 9-11 or Pearl Harbor. He said the losses were memorable because they were in a sense catastrophic, i.e. we were expected to win. And to drive his point home, he said such tragedies should bring people closer together, such as 9-11 and Pearl Harbor did. Again, not saying Alabama losing was as catastrophic as those, but instead using them as examples that everyone could relate to. Everyone likes to get off on hating Nick Saban. But I can guarantee you you wouldn’t hate him if he were at your school. As for the comparisons, etc., I guess it takes an Alabama graduate to understand analogies. As for Georgia, I’m pulling for LSU and hoping they jump GA in the polls. If not, Go Trojans. As for LSU, if I can’t cheer for Saban, I’ll at least cheer for his players. Roll Tide!

It makes the SEC East Division look better than the West.

It insures the Dawgs are the top ranked SEC team in the final polls before bowl games.

The Vols were lucky to escape poopy teams Vandy and Kentucky, so I don;t know if they can pull it off, but hey, LSU ain’t now powerhouse either.

GO VOLS AND GO DAWGS!*

I think “roll tide” is secretly an auburn fan. Why else would you post such a stupid comment. He must want to see everyone bring up bama’s record, overrated coach, and ugly loss. Caught ya, war eagle!

Haha why you love Nick Saban is beyond me. $4 million for 6-6. This is the guy that LSU athletic department employees were instructed to “stay away from” if they saw him around the offices. However you spin it, the mere mention of 9-11 in relation to football is insane. Don’t forget his classy “you have a great team” comment to Les Miles after the LSU-Bama game.

Rammer Jammer indeed.

Looking at the SEC championship game, I hate TN, but a win for them helps our strenght of schedule in the BCS and keeps Illinois out of the top 16. Which would put them in the Rose Bowl vs. USC/UCLA.

am just praying that UGA ends up with Roses and USC wipes your #$# up and down the field. I would watch that one from start to finish. Carroll would clean CMR’s clock and Bobo would not have a clue how to score on the Southern Cal defense.

Sounds like another TECHIE,”my team ain’t good enough to beat ya’ll so our big brother team USC will mop up with ya’ll.”Sounds just like a little spoil kid.

OK, I’ll weigh in on some of this silliness (but I love it). Let me start with this: I’m a U.T. grad and fervent Vol fan. So, there is some problem with objectivity obviously. 1)Anyone who doesn’t think UGA is an elite program is a moron. It was said best earlier—very good team in the best conference. Enough said. 2) It was not a “down” year for the conference, just another year of cannibalism. Let Missouri and Kansas come down here and play our teams week in and week out and let’s see what their records would be. 3) UGA’s schedule was certainly not tougher than Tennessee’s. About the same, but Tennessee did not play a 1-AA team. About a push in my opinion. 4) An earlier poster said he hoped Fulmer stays at TN so UGA can continue to win in recruiting?!? I don’t know what rankings you’ve been reading, but that’s not the case. Check the most recent classes. Thanks for Eric Berry by the way. 4) Yes, we have some obnoxious, redneck fans. This is the South!! We all do! I could tell about the time my mother got spit on at GA, but why bother. Those things happen everywhere. 5) Congrats to GA for a fine year. I will be pulling for you and the rest of the conference teams in bowl games. 6) Who cares if some people view us as one of the worst teams to appear in the championship game. We made it and that’s it. By the way, another poster said we were the worst team since ARK in ‘98. If you’re going to make a statement like that, please know what you’re talking about. Tennessee beat Miss. St. that year. Go Vols! Beat the Tigers!

Forget the National Championship and send me to the Rose Bowl! We have a decent chance to make it there. If not, the Orange or Fiesta would be great. I’ve been going to UGA games for 29 years and I’m more excited about this years bowl trip than any of the others, except New Orleans in 1980. All these other people say we will fall to USC, and we may if we are lucky enough to make it to Pasadena. Would’nt all these other teams love to be in our position!

Les Miles is still hurting over the beating UGA gave LSU in SEC title game in 2005 at the Dome. So this explains why he is whining right now. Sore losers don’t forget. It’s like Steve Spurrier still remembering UGA beating FL that cost them the SEC title back when he played. Everybody seems to remember whippings UGA puts on them.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I would rather play in the Rose Bowl. That’s just as good as playing for the BCS title. I mean, come on let’s face it, the Rose Bowl has tradition and everybody wants to watch it, no matter who’s playing. And the time slot is perfect (5pm). I say winning the Rose Bowl would be huge. when was the last time an SEC team went out west and won the Rose Bowl against the likes of a USC to make it even better. That’s something to root for. Let’s hope it happens.

UGA is an elite program. If not, trolls from other teams around the country would not spend so much time on our blog. They cannot stay away because they wish they were Bulldogs. Oh yeah, feel the power of the Bulldog Nation baby. Deny it all you want but you’re still here. Please respond. You’re anger is delicious. I have to say I just went to other blogs and did not see any UGA posts… ok, well, that’s a lie. I would never waste my time trolling another team’s blog because I’m not a complete loser. I’m not saying that you haters are complete losers for being here, I’m just implying kinda hard. So, for all you loser trolls… here is your cheer. GO! DAWGS!!!!!! SIC ‘EM!!! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

Ok, ok, you got me. I’m a complete idiot and completely delusional. I go to a cowtown university in one of the worst performing states in the entire country (next to last academically, and guess where most of the teachers graduate from… you guessed it… the great and grand University of Georgia).

Before all of us rednecks start thumping our chests about how wonderful our football team is maybe we should do something about the morons that live in our state. You think?

Of course, we can just stay around Georgia and think that we have a perfect university and education system in the state while the rest of the country falls out of their chairs with laughter when we brag about being an elite football school (haven’t won or even played for a national championship in an entire generation) or an elite academic school (the state is 48th out of 50 states…count ‘em Bulldawgs if you can count that far).

Face it, the school’s fans are delusional, and the school and your state are an embarassment. THAT’S WHAT THE PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY THINK ABOUT UGA.

I have always hated Fulmer. What a fat arrogant piece of crap. Spurrier is the coach I hate the most, with Fulmer just a sliver behind. I also didn’t care about Miles one way or another until he b*** and moaned the other day about the Championship stuff. Now, I don’t really care who wins. The only thing that I am concerned about is whatever can happen to help Georgia move up in the standings. GO DAWGS!

Roses sound great. I for one would love to play USC the west coast version. If we win, then it will be an off year for USC. If we lose, then it goes to show that we don’t belong with the top tier teams. Either way the haters have their post game analysis ready. I just want to watch the Dawgs play football.

I really don’t think LSU will leap-frog the Dawgs unless they did lay a really freaky whippin’ on UT—and I don’t see that happening. The Chattanooga paper has a beat writer who covers the Dawgs (thank you David Paschall), and he picked the Vols in a close one like 46-44 after 4 OTs!! Too funny—but maybe not…

Anything could happen in this game, but I don’t really buy all of that LSU being distracted, etc. Hey anyone remember 1980 and the Sugar Bowl? A certain Vince Dooley was flirting with Auburn but the Dawgs got it done. Enough with the excuses! If LSU doesn’t want a ring badly enough to show up, then UT will prevail. Either way, I look for a close, hard fought game. I just hope it’s not another 3 ring circus.

PS- Skyroutyboy, welcome anytime. Pass some of those manners and common sense along to a few of your Vols buddies. Of course it’d be boring for everyone to blow sunshine up each others _ (well, you get the point), but the continual stupidity and inferiority-laden blogs are even more boring. Have a good’un.

DawgsDawgsDawgs,

You said it my friend. We need to take care of our own state before we start thumping our chest about UGA. It is a sad commentary that Georgia as a state lags behind virtually every other state. No wonder they call us rednecks and stupid. If we are the best of the stupid then what are we?

Let us admit our failings and recognize that our stupidity reigns supreme over our football fantasies. May we achieve greatness some day through both reality and achievement. Until then, we are but a figment of our own imagination…

…and delusion.

Long live the fantasy Dawg Nation.

Thanks for the props BigNC Dawg. We have something in common—we have to tolerate being S.E.C. fans in the silly basketball crazy state of North Carolina. Doesn’t it just wear you out sometimes? For instance, the Charlotte Observer’s college football preview is 2 pages in the Sports section. This is the South!! The college football preview deserves its own section. I try to tell people around here that in the South, the real men put on pads. Finally, here’s a question I put to my daughter, an 18 year old freshman at App. State (get you some, Michigan): “Baby girl, in the South, what does 2 + 2 equal?” “3rd and 6 Daddy.” Go Vols!!

” So all that LSU moving ahead of Georgia might do is to possibly mess with the conference (i.e. Georgia) getting a second BCS bid. “

That’s not true at all. Georgia is assured of a BCS Bowl Game bid either way. There are 2 teams who could jump Georgia, and of the 2, Virginia Tech beating Boston College Ranked Number 11 is likely to have a greater impact than LSU beating a number 14 vols’ team. It does LSU little good now, having lost 2 of its last 6, to play a team ranked as poorly as the vols.

My first post here after reading for sometime. I feel alot of hate here. That`s to bad but that is what football brings out in people.

Here are the facts: TN and LSU are playing for the SEC Championship. If UGA had not beaten Fla then TN would be sitting at home watching Fla/LSU on TV.

LSU is probably the most talented team in the SEC and maybe the nation. But, they failed to produce as the should have. I think when Appy State beat Michigan Les Miles started to think about that job and lost his passion for LSU.

Just my 2 cents. Go DAWGS where ever you play.

Oh yeah baby!!! Feel the power of Bulldog Nation but also feel the power of DawgsDawgsDawgs. I have a bozo troll stealing my handle and flaming about the state of Georgia. Remember, the real ‘DawgsDawgsDawgs’ is not stupid enough to talk about state education rankings on a football blog. Also, I love how all the flamers justify coming to the “JunkyardBlog” by saying that they live in Atlanta but went to another school. Newsflash losers…. this is a website. You can access your website of choice from anywhere. For example, I live in California but I have not once gone to the LaTimes web site to post idiot blogs about USC sucking.

Wow, Did the Gawgs get snakebit this time! Talk about a trap game. Hawaii is a major wildcard and probably the one team that nobody—honestly—wants to play.

Stafford’s chances in a track meet? Wouldn’t feel too good about that one if I were a Dawg.

Prediction: Moreno comes up huge; rushes for 200 yards… and UGA still loses to the islanders, 45-31.

And as for thinking you should be in the national championship game when you didn’t even win the SEC East? Are you smoking crack?

We all know that there are flaws in the BCS System which has affected a lot of good teams since it’s establishment. Remember when Ga was sitting at #4 before the SEC Championship? Most sports anlysis were saying that Ga would be better off if they didn’t play for the SEC Title? There is no rule stating that u have to win your conference to play for a National Championship. The BCS need to take the best two teams out of every conference and let them play against the top two teams in other conferences depending on where they’re rank. Here’s an example: Next year put Ohio St or Illinois on LSU schedule, put Ga on Oklahoma or Missouri schedule, put USC on Virgina Tech or Boston College schedule. Keep doing this until you have gone through the top 25 teams. By doing it this way you will come close to getting the best 2 teams by the end of each year.
