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…
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…
Next Step
So close we could taste it, we didn’t get there and had to watch BAMA go from could-have-been dynasty diverted by the Dawgs, to an undeniable champion having won 3-of-4 National Championships. Auburn won the only other in a full…
Bring on the Alabama State Schools
Florida sits atop the SEC East at the end of their SEC season, but it is not where they wanted to be. Georgia alum Will Muschamp led them to a one-loss season, but that loss was to the tiebreaker-owning Bulldogs,…
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…
UGA Football: Top Sports Product in State
Before the start of the college football season, in writing I called for the Georgia Bulldogs to win exactly ten games and the SEC East and it be somewhat disappointing. I called for Georgia to beat Florida and Tennessee and…
Diamond Dawgs Take Tech at The Ted
UGA did much of their damage to 9th-ranked Georgia Tech in the 4th inning and then added an insurance run late, which proved unnecessary as the DAWGS beat their arch rival Yellow Jackets by 2 runs in front of over…
UGA vs. Udub
Battle of the Dawgs Friday night in the NCAA tournament in Charlotte, NC (9:45 p.m.) as the University of Georgia Bulldogs will face the Pac-10 tournament champion University of Washington Huskies and hotshot guard Isaiah Thomas. Georgia is a 10…
Regular Season in Top 7 of All-time
GEORGIA lost at SEC West champion BAMA today, to a team that needed the win more and completed an undefeated home season. UGA finished the successful regular season with 20 wins. Only 7 teams in the 79-year history of Georgia…
Georgia-Alabama Rivalry Undone
Perhaps the most storied program in the history of college football (certainly top 5), the University of Alabama does not regularly play it’s neighbor, the University of Georgia. There was a day and a time when Vince Dooley annually faced…
Dawgs Get 20th Win, by 20
Dawgs bombed Bayou Bengals in Classic City tonight for our 20th win. Solid, very solid. The quick two-year rebuilding job Mark Fox has done since leaving Nevada to coach at the nation’s oldest state chartered public university. I think we…
Georgia On Bubble with 19 Wins
DAWGS swept the season series from South Carolina by winning in the Classic City 64-48 Saturday night. Trey Thompkins went for twenty in a game punctuated by an abundance of Georgia dunks, by a myriad of players. The team seems…
Dawgs Survive War Eagles’ Challenge
Playing at home in front of a noisy Bulldog crowd, Georgia survived against Auburn Saturday. A prepared Auburn team pushed Mark Fox’s team to overtime before yielding to superior competition. Auburn is in last place in the SEC West, while…
Southeast Utterly Dominates Nation
Looking at all BCS title games since they began following the 1998 season, the Southeastern region is clearly in total domination of the country in college football. With a 9-4 cumulative record for Southeast-based teams playing in the title game,…
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…
UGA to Retake ATL in 2011
GEORGIA will kickoff the 2011 football season in The ATL against national power Boise State at 8 pm on September 3rd in the Georgia Dome. For the 2011 season to be a complete success coming off two less than stellar…
Get the Picture
Like Larry Munson used to say, Get the Picture, you guys. The television announcers are saying, ” Georgia can’t stop Tech.” Tech scores then shanks an extra point. 35-34 Dawgs. Brandon Boykin has played and tackled well but fumbles the…
