Tight Ends Win Deep South Rivalry
Han Vance on the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry: Auburn invented the toothbrush, I reckon, those Plainsmen. If it had been invented at UGA, it would have been called the teeth-brush. AUBURN stands for Alabama Usually Beats Us Red Necks, but…
GEORGIA Football Notes from Fayetteville
Han Vance on Georgia football: MVPs on offense and defense Richard LeCounte III – vampirical “Le Count” is Ball Hawk, Baby! – and Stetson Bennett IV – The Mailman delivers! – are both just 190 pounds and 5-11. Not on…
The Mailman Rings Twice for Georgia Football

GEORGIA Loaded at QB
Han Vance on Georgia football: HV#1 ~ I never projected Jamie Newman to start for UGA, in fact publishing an article I took a little heat for called “Jamie Newman Hype Puzzling” back on August 21st. Hello, Newman. So unlike…
Game 1 Look Ahead
Han Vance on Georgia football: It’s a college football Saturday in America, just as I projected, against many smart enough naysayers and doom-pickers. Short of an enforceable law stating there can be no football played, the SEC was always going…
Border Bash Kicks Up SEC Intensity
Speaking of kicks, Morgan better get his head correct and start splitting the uprights regularly again or it will soon cost us wins. He shanked two at Vandy, but our squad had too much overall talent this season to fold…
Mark Richt Era Wins Ranked:
This year’s Florida win feels like the biggest win of the year, though beating LSU is always good and breaking the three-game South Carolina series run was important. I’d say the Cocktail Party win of 2013 belongs at #9 on…
What Has Been Missing In Program
Home dominance. Miami’s semi-professional run in the old Orange Bowl. Nebraska’s mid-1990s Sea of Red. LSU of late at night in Death Valley, contributing to LSU having the best record in the SEC in the past dozen years (UGA 2nd)….
2012 UGA SEC Media Days Report
Mark Richt, the longest-tenured head football coach in the greatest American college football conference, headlined the SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL on July 19th. Over three gloriously long days in the Birmingham area, thirteen other head football coaches had…
Nice Road Win in Hogland
Desperate to win a conference game after two straight close SEC East division losses, UGA won by one point at Arkansas Wednesday night. Trey Thompkins appeared to have traveled after he drew the foul on the final shot of the…
Hoop Dawgs Drop One in Bluegrass
Playing at Kentucky in front of a packed house that included actress Ashley Judd, the UGA basketball team lost to the Kentucky Wildcats by six points Saturday afternoon. Georgia made it close late but could not catch a determined Big…
DAWGS’ Prospects for 2011
NCAA football season is now complete with the SEC going 5-5 in bowls and winning a 5th straight National Championship. The SEC East division finished a terrible 1-4, with only 5-loss Florida getting a bowl win. With no SEC team…
4-1 runs have bookended 1-4 stretch
Over the past fifteen football games played by the University of Georgia, the Dawgs have won only nine and lost six, a fireable record for the head coach. With the win over Idaho State, UGA has gone 4-1 over five…
Grantham’s Defense Not The Problem
When Grantham took over as defensive coordinator after last season, Georgia was coming off an 8-5 campaign full of defensive pains. Georgia had had two remarkably poor defensive seasons in a row; resultant: Richt gave Martinez his walking papers. Martinez’s…
Tough Home Loss
Playing without starting fullback Chapas, starting tailback C. King and suspended all-world (selfish idiot) wideout AJ Green, Georgia trailed top SEC offensive squad Arkansas by two touchdowns late. The play calling had been so predictable that I called for an…
Top Hogs in Town
Arkansas led the SEC in scoring last season. At right under 6-feet tall, Joe Adams is a super-quick senior wideout. The other starting wideouts in a three-wide formation are much taller and also proven: Jarius Wright is a playmaker, and…
Can Ealey Shake Off S.I. Jinx
A regional cover of Sports Illustrated’s SEC preview featured young Washaun Ealey – quite a preseason honor for a true sophomore on the same team with NFL-bound wideout AJ Green. Ealey was not even an official starter yet; that distinction…
Looking at Division Schedules…Already
Thing about an early loss is: if you are going to drop a game, the most-recoverable games to lose in college football are definitely the earliest. You can recover and you know where you stand. We are currently last in…
Conservative Game Plan Fails
Why Georgia why? We have a head coach with a 4-1 record in Columbia. During those four tough DAWGS wins and now one ugly loss, we have scored a total of four offensive touchdowns. Trailing 14-6, Washaun Ealey dropped the…
Big Time
Let’s get this, Dawgs. We have been pushed around far too long by Florida, and Tennessee has taken back control of that series in a major way. We have been humbled in big games at home. And now we trot…
