It would not have mattered who the Dawgs had played the last couple of weekends and it doesnt mean jack. The Dawgs played the teams on their schedule. Ask Oklahoma if UAB was a pretty good team or not. And ANY team coached by the Evil Genius has a chance to put points on the board. USC was out-coached, out-manned and swarmed by a defense that is going to be the best under the Mark Richt era and probably the best in 20+ years. Jealousy will get you nowhere Marshall.

Carter you ingnorant slut, either you or your evil twin Chippy Towers came up with this inane topic. There can only be one name for this defence and it was coined by one of the greatest motivators ever seen in college sports. Erk Russell coined the phrase Junkyard Dawgs, I was there when James Brown got up on the stage to sing Dooley’s Junkyard Dawgs with the Redcoat band as backup and the cheerleaders shaking their money makers. How could it ever change. They will always be Junkyard Dawgs, not because some hack writer, looked in the mirror lately, came up with the phrase. But because a man, a true believer, reached down and touched his players with a name, a title, that can never be matched.

Junkyard Dawgs describes them best. They are scrappy and fight for every inch (ask Blake Mitchell from the 1 yard line). And for everyone who said wait until they play UT and Florida to give them a name. After they step up in those games the only name left to appoint them is SEC Champs.

How about “untested” since they haven’t played a decent offense yet. Not to burst your bubble or anything but the dawgs haven’t really played any offensively talented team yet. Not to say that Tech has either because the Notre Dame offense was overrated in my opinion. Georgia will only face two good offenses all year(Auburn and Florida) and Tech and Tennesee are both mediocre. Yes, I’m a huge Tech fan but I’m also reallistic in grading the tech offense. We’ve score alot of points the last two games, but I’m not ready to give them some stupid new gimmiky name. How bout stick with Junk Yard dawg for the time being and if you win a national Championship then give them a new name. Til then realize that all the eggs probably aren’t going to hatch this year and stop getting to excited over nothing.

AJC: first of all, Coach Erk Russell was one of the greatest motivators to ever grace football. He gave us, “GATA” and the Dawgs whipped ‘Tech that night. He said “just one more time men” all season long and the Dawgs won 12 in a row that year for all the marbles. Then he took this gift down to Statesboro and used a glass of water from “beautiful” Eagle Creek (a storm run-off ditch) to motivate and lead GSU to a N.C. Of course he also gave us Junkyard Dawgs for the ages. That sticks and nothing can top it. For the record: have you ever SEEN a junkyard dawg? He is a formidable site. To truly live up to a J-D’s reputation and persona on the gridiron is to put your team into a position to win a championship. Nuff said.

Go you Hairy Junkyard Dawgs!

The name of UGA’s defense is written in the blood that dripped from Erk Russell’s head.

It is eternal… It is Junkyard Dawgs

The only worthwhile reading from Carter Strickland that you can ever find is plagerized from other writers who actually give a damn about doing their job. Carter has the right to pull for whatever team he wants to, but to accept a job as the beat writer for UGA and perform that job as poorly as he does is a disgrace. It reflects poorly on the AJC, which doesn’t need help to look any more pitiful than it already is, and is proof positive that they could care less about providing a decent product for their readership. If the owners of the AJC had any marketing sense at all they would cater to the Home State Fans and give true, quality coverage. With the program in place at UGA and even the progress Tech is making in recruiting there should be an entire section dedicated to the in-state teams. With the possible exception of Mr. Bisher, the whole staff in the sports section needs a good house cleaning. There are several bloggers on here that could do 100 fold better work than what the AJC has employed. For a city the size of Atlanta, the sports section is a total disgrace. I guess having a monopoly on the business breeds ineptivity and laziness, but I guarantee you if I had the editor’s job I could double their subscriptions in a few months by revamping the sports section alone. Oh I know they are having a big snicker because they believe that as long as Carter can elicit 100 posts to his blog every day by stirring up trouble with his Dawg hatred, he’s doing a wonderful job. But when a newspaper forgets to sell newspapers and trades that for an active web site, they are not a newspaper anymore. As just a small point, consider the successful business owners who are also alumni of the in-state schools. As one myself, I would chomp at the bit to advertise heavily in a good sports section, but as it is, the web is as close as I will ever get to the AJC as long as it is run as it is. Okay, I’m done now.

Stupidest question ever. Let the damn thing alone. Junkyard Dogs. Period. Go get your head examined whoever came up with this idea.

Bold: Who was Ga First Black QB Was it Mike Hart and Terry Flannegan in 1975? I know Ga recruited both and flannegan went on to play basketball for Ga…I think. Mike Hart was an All American from Troup High in La grange ga and I think they switched him to SE/WR and etc…

Does anyone have or know any info about this?
