People of the Program
“PEOPLE OF THE PROGRAM – Big Cat Candid:” UGA Legend Jonas Jennings and Program Insider Han Vance Rap about Georgia Football and Their Time Spent Attending UGA in the 1990s. Jonas Jennings:“Booger McFarland was right on my head. We were…
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 —…
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’…
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…
Camp Opens With Big D Questions
Let’s call it the Johnny Football factor, what happened to our vaunted defense last year. They couldn’t handle their own hype. They couldn’t handle the heat of success. Coming off a difficult transition year and a switch to the 3-4,…
Depth Chart Battles (and Other Summer Tangents)
Sophomore strong safety Josh Harvey-Clemons is suspended for the huge GEORGIA-Clemson opener on August 31st (8:00 p.m., ABC, at Death Valley in South Carolina) yet is holding off another excellent athlete, junior Corey Moore, on the official team depth chart….
Love Them While You Can (Win Now)
Since the USFL contracted with Herschel Walker and he became the first underclassman to leave college early for a professional football league, many of the University Georgia’s greatest gridiron talents have played Between the Hedges for relatively short periods of…
Eleven
High noon Between the Hedges, moments after a touching Senior Day ceremony ended. Without it being said by many, it was notable too for the number of NFL draft-ready Georgia juniors playing their final game in Athens. This team will…
Welcome to the Jungle
UGA may be having a good year, but we do not have a road win against a rival yet. Florida is a neutral site, and we suddenly own Jacksonville. The Vols came to the Classic City, as will little Georgia…
Super Bowl MVPs
The University of Georgia is the only college to produce three Super Bowl Most Valuable Players. Safety Jake Scott won the award for the undefeated Miami Dolphins in 1973. In 1998, running back Terrell Davis won for the Denver Broncos….
Annual Talent Exodus at UGA
Georgia is first in the SEC in total NFL draft picks over the past ten years with fifty-seven players taken. Twenty-six UGA players have been drafted by the league since the Dawgs last won the SEC five years ago behind…
Number One in NFL Draft Picks
Though clearly of second-tier importance down South, I did happen to notice that the NFL season starts today. I scoff whenever an over-loyal idiot of say LSU or Bama or Florida obfuscates the obvious by speaking of their best few…
Scoutin’ the Cajuns
Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns – formerly Louisiana-Lafayette and before that Southwest Louisiana – play in the Sunbelt Conference in front of 31,000. They travel to ATHENS, GA Saturday to take on your Big Hairy Dawgs in an opener tuneup for GEORGIA…
Mental Identity
The most overlooked quality in college football is identity. Identity trumps even talent. What a college football coach tries to do is establish an identity in his teams, his program. These are not grownup professional men that know exactly what…
Moreno-Tebow Wishbone?
Imagine for a second what the folks in Denver are imagining. With the Broncos taking our old nemesis Tim Tebow in the first round and pairing him with last year’s first rounder, Knowshon Moreno the great, they have created a…
