A quarter of a football season remains, essentially. You get two more noon home games and one is garbage and then a full month off before a mid-tier at best bowl game. So exciting…it gives us another reason to play…
Mid-November: YES! YES! YES! I was there as we beat a highly-ranked rival in a big game. We won an SEC home game. We were relevant national news. Were not are. Sorry to have to be the reality check that…
A 5-4 team is set to host the #9 team in America Saturday at 3:30p in the Classic City, one day after my new book “Richt Era: 15 Years in Athens” debuts there (this FRI 6:30-7:30p at Avid Bookshop on…
Georgia folks are heading up to the northern South today, where it is not an insult to be called “Basketball School” aloud. With our beleaguered 4-4 DAWGS favored – that’s right – to win this week over a hot football…
Han Vance, of publisher Silver Stone Press, will debut his book “Richt Era: 15 Years in Athens” at Avid Bookshop in Athens, GA (on Prince Ave) on FRI 11/11 from 6:30-7:30p, with a reading, signing, discussing session. Signed books are…
It matters more for them in their little opinions, because they are playing for what at Kentucky constitutes a special football season. That’s total crap to us because we are a football school. This is actually huge for the GEORGIA…
“Richt Era: 15 Years in Athens” book by Han Vance debuts 11/11 at Avid Bookshop on Prince Avenue in Athens. That’s the FRI night (6:30-7:30p reading, signing, discussing) before Georgia battles Auburn Between the Hedges. Signed books are $17.85. Circa…
Happy bye week from BIG HAIRY BLAWG! The University of Georgia Bulldogs have the fourth most bowl appearances of any college football program: 1. Bama 64, 2. Texas 53, 3. Nebraska 52, 4. (tie) UGA & Tenn 51. The Dawgs…
Kirby Smart’s seven-game career has already featured the three worst types of losses: 1. home loss to team you should beat, 2. heartbreaker you had won vs rival in big game, 3. total blowout you were unprepared to play. Each…
This reminds me of Donnan, this reminds me of Richt, this reminds me of Dooley. We are 4-2 with only one quality win, that over a two-loss team (UNC, RPI of 26) and playing Vandy (2-4) at noon Saturday before…
I love Georgia. Dawgs galloped big in a sunny Sunday affair, after the hurricane caused postponement from what I feared could be another bad Saturday night at Carolina. Can’t wait to head to Athens for Homecoming, and the UGA schedule…
Though Chubb hasn’t been in the news for anything good since game one, it benefits UGA to move the game back to Sunday because (preseason all-SEC) nicked up Chubb does get a little more time to rest and be fully…
For two teams playing for the lead in any division, much less half the SEC, both Tennessee and Georgia have been mighty inconsistent. I was catching a survival strategy break under a shade bush, see. From the merciless direct-sun-heat and…
ATTN: ATHENS LEGACY begins 10/1 Trey Shelton (of PartyDawgs fame) and Han Vance (of Big Hairy Blawg) are hosting big #UGA home game throwdowns at The Max Canada in #Athens, #Georgia starting 10/1 at noon. We have made arrangements with…
As has been well documented here at BIG HAIRY BLAWG, Nick Chubb led the nation in yards per carry last year at over eight before badly busting up his leg at Tennessee, setting the University of Georgia mark broken in…
A talent vacuum is not always a real talent vacuum. It’s often as much so or also a perception by players (and sometimes coaches) that what worked so well in past seasons or games won’t work enough to equate to…
Our pretty boy longhaired quarterback Jacob Eason won his first career start as rookie coach Kirby Smart went to 1-0 in home games on a sunny September Saturday in the Classic City. Other than a lack of devastating injuries and…
For the fourth consecutive season, the University of Georgia now has the odds on Heisman frontrunner. The last three times did not work out too well: 1. Todd Gurley got rolled up on in a close home win over LSU,…
