Never put your Fate...in Another Teams Hand

The University of Georgia did just that...put their fate....in another teams hand.

The past two weeks, the Bulldog Nation was...In the name of  "Larry Munson"...rooting for Tennessee and Arkansas!

What?  

Really?

This is where Georgia is now.   Georgia has to root for rivals 'cuz UGA  failed to take care of their own business.  Namely South Carolina...and Florida.

2 winnable games resulting in ugly losses.

Yes Georgia...you beat Missouri ...34-0.

But check this out:

 

Missouri rallies over Arkansas 21-14, wins SEC East title

Missouri's Kevin Pendleton (67), A.J. Logan (75) and other Missouri players celebrate with their Battle Line Rivalry trophy after Missouri's 21-14 win over Arkansas on Friday, November 28, 2014 at Faurot Field.

 

Why? "Gurley Man" Why?

An open letter to Todd Gurley:

Dear Todd,

We acknowledge you are an exceptional football player with extraordinary talents.  Fact is though...you have never played an entire season.  Last year you got hurt.  This year you were suspended.  4 games.  You then...for reasons we cannot understand ...decided to come back and play in the final 3 games. 

Why?  

An NFL running back has a career longevity of about 3.5 years.  You were going to be a 1st round draft pick...You should  have told Georgia...thanks...but no thanks.   "I have made the University millions of dollars...let me earn my degree...and move on ...to the NFL."

But no!  Instead...you came back to play in a college football game...tore your ACL on your knee...will need surgery....and possibly...cost you and the family.....millions.

Why?

REPORT: Gurley suffered torn ACL in win over Auburn

Hump Day...News & Views

It is Wednesday,  November, 13th.  It is "Hump Day".

Been a while since we have posted on this ...a midweek day.

In this small, southern, college town...there is a definite hint of autumn in the air.

Shucks...it may get down into the 20's by the weekend.

Let's see...where are we?

Our Atlanta Falcons suck...

Our Beloved UGA Dawgs lost to the hated Gators of Florida.

Our Hawks are mediocre....3 wins...3 losses.

So...let's do some "humping".




The Carolina Panthers...can make any QB...look good:

A "Gurley Man" Comes

Todd Gurley....he is a coming.  For all the off season hype...This may be the real deal.

Saturday...between those vaunted hedges at Sanford Stadium in Athens...Sir Todd was indeed special.

But...lets put the brakes on.

Just one game.  Don't get all giddy.

But...damn it was fun to watch!

These "Dawgs"...are Just..."Dogs"

The University of Georgia's football team has sank to a new low.  Bad offense, bad defense, bad special teams.

And most of all....bad coaching.

From the Athens Banner Herald:

Barber recovered the ball on the play and Vanderbilt took possession on the 13-yard line and scored the game-winning touchdown on the next play. Vanderbilt upset No. 15 Georgia 31-27.

Specials teams mistakes, offensive struggles plague No. 15 Georgia in loss to Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Georgia's special teams shortcomings were too much to overcome this time.

A "Dog Day" Afternoon

Injuries...bad luck...bad coaching...karma?

How about all of the above.

In this small southern college town...the natives are crying today.  For the dogs of UGA lost a football game yesterday.

From the eyes of Missouri:

This Fan...is a Fanatic!

This had to be a Georgia fan.  

Embarrassing.

From Fox Sports:

 

• Crying shame: Georgia fan bawls on radio station, demands Mark Richt be fired
  Georgia's season is far from over after losing to Clemson, but one fan doesn't see it that way. After the L, he cried on the radio that the 'Dawgs find a new coach.

Thoughts on a Labor Day

It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood...in this small southern college town.  Down the road a bit,  Atlanta was rocking this weekend.   The Chick-fil-A  Kickoff Classic.   Dragon Con.   NASCAR.   The Braves.  Even Georgia Tech had a home game.

Holidays are made for family and fun.  We had a blast!  Some stuff we're following in the sports world:

A Costly Celebration

They say if you live long enough...you're liable to see everything.  Well,  what we saw Saturday night in Clemson, South Carolina...is one for the ages.

The University of Georgia not only lost a football game...but lost their leading receiver.

Some time...some where...a long time ago....Georgia must have upset the college football gods.   This kind of thing just doesn't happen.

Bad karma?  Bad coaching?  Bad common sense?

From the Athens Banner Herald:

Jubilation turns to frustration as UGA's Mitchell tears ACL, out for season

Georgia must not only shake off its season-opening loss but come to grips with the absence of one of its best players for Saturday's game against No. 6 South Carolina and the rest of the season.

Georgia Wins! And Loses!

Okay....if you must press the issue...The University of Georgia football team played their annual spring game at Sanford Stadium yesterday.

So depending upon how you care to view it...it could be a win....or it could be a loss.

Anyway, here's the Augusta Chronicle's account of the event:

Offense, defense see bright spots on G-Day

ATHENS, Ga. - On a picture-perfect Saturday when temperatures reached the lower 70s, Georgia fans could take away positives from both sides of the ball from the annual G-Day Game.

By Marc Weiszer

The State of UGA Basketball

Yes ...this is a football school.   Yes...basketball is secondary.  But I watched this game live.  Georgia gave their all...had a chance to win at the end.

And then this.

Seems Georgia made a deal with the "football gods"....they're a pretty premier program.

But...the "basketball gods"....seem to frown upon Athens when it comes to winning meaningful games.

Take a look at this fiasco:

A "Dog Day"...Night

Strange night.   A Georgia basketball team beat Kentucky.   The big blue.  The defending National Champs.

The University of Georgia views its men's basketball team as an after thought.  Something to bide ones time before the main course....FOOTBALL.

Georgia is a mediocre 16-16...in a so-so conference.

But hey...they beat Kentucky:

 

Finish with flourish: Georgia tops Kentucky in last home game

The Kentucky Wildcats that visited Stegeman Coliseum Thursday night won't be found ranked in the top 25.

Hold Your Head Up....UGA!

Wow!   What a game.  The University of Georgia played the University of Alabama yesterday in a game the will go down in history as one of the greatest...ever.

Somebody had to win....somebody had to lose.

Two heavyweights.  The SEC.

Georgia came up...5 yards short.

What a game!

From the Athens Banner Herald:

 

The "Beat-downs"...Continue!

It is one of the nation's oldest and fierce rivalries..but this thing is rapidly getting out of hand.   4 wins in a row for Georgia.   10 out of the last 12?   18 out of the last 24?

What does Tech need to do to get this reversed?

Who knows?   What we do know is this was just another Georgia..."beat-down"!

Congrats! Andy Landers!

We have on occasion,  been kind of rough on the subject of women's basketball.   But, be that as it may,  we must recognize a very special feat.

Last night, coach Andy Landers of the University of Georgia Lady Bulldogs earned his 800th career win.

Coach, we salute you!

Landers earns win No. 800 as Lady Dogs rout Savannah State

Andy Landers has been so reluctant to talk about an approaching career milestone, he didn't say one word about it to his players.

As Easy as 1-2-3

The University of Georgia has a seemingly simple task.    1-2-3....as in winning it's next 3 games to become college footballs'  National Champion.

Beat Georgia Tech this week....Beat Alabama next week...And these Bulldogs will play for the BCS title.

Simply....amazing!

 

No. 3 Bulldogs back in national championship talks, but Richt focused on Georgia Tech

Georgia holds its own national title fate just in time for some "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate." The Bulldogs are in position to play for their first BCS national championship Jan.

It's Good to be a Georgia Bulldog!

For the first time this season...Georgia brought their A game.  Defense, offense, and special teams.

38-0....and it could have been 50+ if the coaching staff hadn't called off the dogs.

Georgia clinches, eyes bigger things

The Bulldogs are once again SEC East champions, this time routing Auburn, and this time they are setting the goals higher.

Welcome to the Party...UGA Defense

It took almost 3 quarters of a season...This Georgia defense...with supposedly  all that NFL talent....to finally play the way they will someday be paid to play.

No softies here.  Georgia manned up against these Gators and forced their will.   6 turnovers.  Hard, hard hits.   No touchdowns allowed. 

Well......welcome to the party,  men.

It had been speculated by more than a few people....Maybe these future NFL stars of Georgia were "saving" themselves by playing safe....soft....so as not to get hurt before getting that Sunday playing contract. 

But ....at least for one Saturday....they played the way their talent should have played.

17-9.

Wasn't pretty...but...a win...is a win.

Georgia overpowers Florida

Late Florida fumble near endzone preserves Dogs' win and hopes for SEC East title.

Same Old....Georgia

The natives are getting a little bit restless...in this small, southern college town.

Here we go again.   Georgia....contender or pretender?  

Georgia ...once again gets a high profile game with a high profile opponent.   Last time this happened....UGA sleptwalked  through a 35-7 dismantling at the hands of South Carolina.

This time it's Florida in the annual "cocktail party down in Jacksonville.

Georgia...supposedly has all those "NFL"  athletes.  Top 10 recruiting classes.  Unlimited resources.

Yet......when  given the opportunity to turn heads on a national stage...these dogs turn into pups.

Saturday.....we shall see.

Bulldogs face tough task in No. 3 Gators

Georgia will finish the month of October just how it began the month - with a high-profile game against an unbeaten opponent.
