Loser of Saturday’s Game Has Clear Path to Natty
Han Vance on SEC football: Less is at stake than you may think in the Saturday night big game, on the capstone. In fact, taking one loss, especially one out of division, in-conference in the mighty SEC, has actually never…
Freshmen Must Step Up for Georgia Football
Han Vance on Georgia football: The key classes at any college used to be the seniors, who were back for another go of it, and actually the sophomores, who were finally ready to go and be the infusion of tip-top…
GONE BOWLIN’
One way to think of it would be an early retirement-like, second-tier type final job, getting out of the SEC pressure cooker and either it works out big at Miami or it doesn’t but, dude, you are from Boca. Half…
Dawgs for 8-of-10 in Old Series
Welcome to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. An exciting matchup every year, Georgia (6-3) holds a 55-55-8 record versus our “sister school” Auburn (5-4), both programs’ series record on exacta. The first game-between was played in Piedmont Park of Atlanta…
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…
Being Greyson Lambert

The Return

Vols Will Battle Dawgs
Last year’s tilt on Rocky Top was part of an ongoing injuries horror show. Receivers had dropped like flies for weeks, and we had seen star Todd Gurley fall to an injury the week prior, rolled up on by an…
Familiar Territory
Virtually a replay of last season, simply reverse the Palmetto State opponents. Think back to us beating South Carolina by pulling away late and then putting it on them; that’s what we did to Clemson in Athens. Think back to…
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…
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…
The Xs And The Os, The Ws And The L
Then they stepped forward on a separation Saturday, the defending SEC West and SEC East champions many feel are on another collision course. BAMA — GEORGIA — one has won three-of-four national championships, while netting two non-consecutive conference crowns —…
Dawgs Sweep September
Summer came to an official close recently, and this football season got off to a white hot start with GEORGIA facing Top 10 competition from LSU, South Carolina and Clemson. Clemson, currently #3 in the nation, edged UGA in a…
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’…
It’s a DAWGS World
Happy fall, y’all. Here is a unique piece of sports journalism. My daddy was a race car driver. Well, not really, but he married six times and was engaged when he died. He was a champion water ski jumper, a…
Beauty and the BEAST
Classic City early September Between the Hedges, and a lovely afternoon for the start of SEC divisional play. Only one SEC matchup aired in week one, an instant classic which saw upstart Ole Miss win on the road in Nashville…
All About The 3 (#BEAST)
#GURLEY because # 3 is an absolute beast, y’all. He put on 12 #s in the offseason, 4 pounds of muscle 3 times. BEAST, I say, BEAST. After gaining over 1,300 yards last season. His first. His third? Forget about…
No Time to Wallow in the Valley
South Carolina’s flagship institution is not the historic football power in the Palmetto State. That distinction falls to Death Valley, where Clemson edged geographic and traditional rival Georgia 38-35 Saturday night behind five touchdowns by stellar senior quarterback Tajh Boyd….
