Smart to UGA
Jeremy Pruitt stressed he would like to return as the UGA defensive coordinator immediately after he stoned Tech 13-7 in Atlanta Saturday afternoon. An opening score by 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel outdistanced the Jackets, who were held scoreless into the…
“Tale of Two Saturdays”
In my humble opinion, the penultimate level of amateur athletics is American college football, and the end of year rivalries, including state championships, are just too savory not to be enjoyed. Tale of two Saturdays. Again. As it’s been so…
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…
Offensive Mind
This is not nearly as hard as we are making it, y’all. When you have a running quarterback, you run him. When you have a tight end with the best hands on the team, you throw him the football quickly…
Soft Schedule Seltzer For Hungover DAWGS?
The only good thing about Reggie Davis dropping the best pass any of our quarterbacks threw over the past two years, at Rocky Top, is the diminished level of big loss hurt I feel right now. See, If Reggie had…
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…
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…
Rocky Top Awaits
Nick Chubb set the school season mark for yards per carry as a true freshman last year and is on a pace to potentially surpass that mark this year. In fact, Chubb sits at second in the Heisman Trophy race…
October Off to a Bang
GEORGIA…Bama. This is big time, y’all. Alabama doesn’t want to be forced to realize the dynasty is over. We are poised for a breakthrough. Alabama had (only) one undefeated SEC + National Champion team during their historic four-year run. They…
The Return
Dual threat quarterback Nick Marshall makes his first career visit to the Classic City as the starter for sister school Auburn Saturday night at 7:15 p.m. Marshall was kicked out of UGA for theft, and later his continued disciplinary issues…
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…
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…
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…
Being Todd Gurley: #GurleyForHeisman
The recruiting coup combination of running back threats achieved with the signing of Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley continues to yield great dividends for the University of Georgia. Marshall, the #2 overall recruit out of all US high schools when…
FULLBACK U LOSES A GREAT:
Collision sports of various sorts are all I know, really. Skateboarding tastes like pavement. I could slam dunk hard and was a shot blocker and always the fouling enforcer, on every basketball team I played on, and I’d seek contact…
An O-Line Offensive
Will Friend at it again in the Classic City. He has squeezed the most from our limited offensive line talent the past few seasons and has helped the UGA offense sent record production marks two years consecutively. And, he recruited…
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…
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 —…
