Todd Monken Experiment Failing: More than Just QB
Han Vance on Georgia football: Walking out of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium after another outdistancing and yet another loss in the SECCG, Georgia fans were chanting for Mike Bobo, the once-vilified quarterback and offensive coordinator, who left UGA on top of…
Have to hit ‘em ~ BHB on WLOCP
Han Vance on Georgia football: This is the biggest game of the regular season, every year. A midseason bowl game-like environment, only bigger as the teams are such bitter rivals. Georgia has scored just 24 and 14 in its last…
Mistakes Happened ~ Fix It
Han Vance on Georgia football: Kirby Smart maintains a veneer of being above (his own perceived) criticism, in much of his public communication with the football media. An obvious weakness he should have long ago been coached to fix by…
It’s JT Time
Athens, Ga.— After leading the #2 team in the country 24-20 at halftime, GEORGIA was soundly outplayed and outcoached in the 2nd half in Tuscaloosa. Bama tacked on another 21, while snuffing UGA. Bennett went from program hero to goat,…
Why Dawgs Win the Cocktail Party
Han Vance on Georgia football: If that big tight end wasn’t such a known commodity with two weeks for us to prepare; if Notre Dame’s tight end had not given us more fits than anybody – not named Muschamp –…
Big Moment
Big moment for our program as the World’s Largest Cocktail Party looks to be called GEORGIA-FLORIDA instead of “Florida-Georgia” for the next full year. I propose the winner get first name in the series and the losing fans HAVE to…

An Ecstatic Homecoming
The dust has settled on a 9-6 (American League of baseball-like) slugfest Homecoming Saturday night Between the Hedges. Mizzou, the two-time back-to-back belt-holding SEC East champions gimped into the Classic City hungry for a win of any variety after being…
Vast Depths of Tradition
Between the Hedges – 1785 Chapel (Victory) Bell – Arch Track People – Lone Horn Uga – Hairy Dawg Classic City – ’42 & ’80 OGs to New JAX City next week with our vast depths of tradition, versus: these…
Division Crowns Still at Stake
Nick Chubb, out for the year with a devastating knee injury, set the school season yards per carry record in 2015 at a remarkable 8.2. The ypc mark was also previously held by him after his true freshman campaign and…
Richt’s Folly Could Still Net Crown
Mark Richt fell to 3-3 versus the University of Alabama Saturday amidst torrentially soggy conditions in the Classic City of Athens, Georgia. 4-1 Bama surged to #10/#8 in the (meaningless post-BCS) polls with UGA tumbling to #19/#16 after a humiliating…
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…
Cocktail Party (c) ’06
Full-length version of my award-winning football poem: This is what it comes down to. This, and Auburn, but this sets up the Auburn game. For the Auburn game to be truly huge, the Dawgs have to win this game. Every…
Okefenokee Oar at Stake
Jacksonville, FL: Inside the numbers. 24-20, 17-9, 23-20, 3 straight. We are favored by 11. Is it 10 more wins or 9 more wins? Depends on your perspective, but I could give the Gators the nod there in a predecessor…

Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams
“Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams” Joystick era underway at UGA. 14 years post-Donnan season underway, and my little BHB itself has a 2007 origin way in the rearview. 7 years. 14 years. TOUCHDOWNS, baby! Make more touchdowns than your…
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 a Difference
What a difference a play makes. Ask Justin Scott-Wesley or Murray for Heisman. Had that been a pick instead of a touchdown pass Murray would not be over the hump as a player, UGA would be .500, Richt would be…
Returneth
A la Mettenberger, I’m bound for the Classic City. Early morning Megabus double-decker from ATL to downtown ATHENS, GA, I’ll be… Little early still, so, today I’m looking at the huge influence of our school’s attendees. You’ve got little ol’…
