  1. He definitely deserved consideration for keeping the offense moving despite having his key playmakers drop like flies throughout the season. He had won us the Auburn game until the secondary decided otherwise. Although if I was voting for best in the SEC, I'd go with his teammate Todd Gurley. As seen when he returned against Florida, the offense is just so much more dangerous when he gets going. The sky is the limit for that dude in 2014 if he can just stay healthy.
  2. I never want to see Auburn excel at anything (Especially with Klepto Nick at quarterback), but it's definitely fun knowing that Bama fans were in misery last night. Nearly every break imaginable has gone their way over the last five years, so that fanbase is due for some pain. The really bad part is that now all of these Auburn people who have been hiding for the last couple of seasons will start popping their heads out again. Like many, I don't want to see Urban Meyer play for another national title, but I'll take that over seeing Auburn get yet another title shot, so hopefully they tak
  3. I think I lost the ability to ever feel bad for tech when I watched their players rip apart the hedges after they beat us in Athens in 98. Whether they are doing well or struggling, it's always great to beat tech. It is especially great when you're missing so many starters. Just think, nearly the entire team they faced today will return next season, plus a load of injured playmakers who were watching at home today. Arrogant Paul Johnson missed a golden opportunity today.
  4. This is probably the sweetest victory in the series since another injury-plagued bulldog team came from behind to beat the jackets 18-17 in 1995. I know jacket fans are feeling pretty bad right now, but I can't say that I feel bad for any of them after the frustrating roller coaster of a season that the dawgs have had. They deserved a finish like that after what happened against Vanderbilt and Auburn. GO DAWGS!!!
  5. The fact that the Braves are locked into that bad TV deal through 2027 also played a role into this. Big TV deals play a key role in allowing teams to have larger payrolls, and the Braves have one of the worst in baseball. It's obvious that the area around the stadium is never going to be built up the way that we heard it would be following the Olympics, so I can totally see why they'd consider moving to a better area. I'll sure enjoy not having to go downtown to see them play. The Falcons new stadium was just Arthur Blank wanting his own place. He owns the team, but the World Congress
  6. Yeah, now go away for another 86 years. Three rings in nine years is enough. That on top of all the other success that city has seen from their other pro teams during the last decade.
  7. The passion and tradition are typically just better in college football than in any other sport. I've been to every kind of major sports venue, and none of them compare to the rush that I get from hearing around 90,000 people cheering together. It's also the last chance that you get to see athletes playing for the pure love of the game. That pretty much goes away once they get in with an agent and it becomes their job.
  8. I'd care if the Braves were in it. Otherwise, I don't get into it unless it is some special story like the '04 Red Sox. Between them, these franchises have won four titles in nine years, so I'm ready for both to go away for a decade or so.
  9. Yes, it sucks that we were in a situation where a bad call against Vandy even matters. What was really bad is that the defense had actually stepped up and bailed out Damian Swann's costly punt return fumble, yet a BS targeting penalty negates it. Then on the last desperation pass, Chris Conley goes down with the ankle injury. He might actually be back for Florida, but with his injury, all six of our top proven playmakers on offense are now injured. Injuries happen, but I've never seen it hit us this severe on one side of the ball. Hopefully Conley along with Bennett and Gurley are all bac
  10. Why do you care? You only watch REAL football, remember?
  11. So you have no idea was I even referring to when I mentioned the BS targeting calls, yet you still respond. Wow. You're actually going to make Missouri's eventual fall quite funny, so you do serve some purpose.
  12. Did you happen to call 92.9 The Game at around 4:45 yesterday and say this exact same thing?
  13. Kiffin's trade is not defense. That could soon be the opening. I doubt he'll go to any major program as a head coach.
  14. If you actually saw the game with Vanderbilt, you would know that both targeting calls were complete BS and the second played a key role in the outcome of the game. Regardless of whether you are a dawg fan or not, anyone should have been disgusted by both of them. Having a player ejected when he didn't even lead with his helmet and then the replay guy overturning the call on Wilson, yet still giving Vandy the first down was a slap in the face to football in general. It's just more proof that we might be seeing two-hand touch at some point in our lifetime. I'll go to the NCAA's stat page
  15. How could they be referring to me when I'm clearly standing by the dawgs despite losing to a team who their second string should usually be able to beat? Explain that one to me, professor. I did not come in here making excuses for the dawgs. I came on here pointing out "facts" to a success starved tiger fan who started this thread acting as if his team had just won the SEC. The dawgs showed how deep they are by still beating the vols and hanging with Missouri with third and fourth stringers playing key roles on offense. Yesterday, you saw some piss poor execution in all three phases an
  16. I would expect nothing less from a bulldog hater. Yeah, the dawgs are just so lucky with all their injuries and BS targeting calls against them. So who are you referring to?
  17. As crazy as it still sounds, Missouri deserves to be on top of the East. Florida's defense is no joke, and to put up that many points and 500 yards against it is pretty darn impressive. Now they get a SC team that it looks like will be without Connor Shaw, so that should help them take care of business in that one. Win that and they're pretty much in against Bama. I can't see them winning in the dome, but it would still be a successful year after being picked to finish 5th in the East by many.
  18. They were bad enough without the refs doing whatever they could to screw them over. Those targeting calls were absolutely two of the dumbest calls I've ever seen. Even the biggest UGA hater had to be yelling "Are you kidding me?" while watching that. The one that got Ray Drew ejected was bad enough, but the ref crew should be suspended for the late flag on Ramik Wilson's 4th down hit. That perfectly legal "shoulder tackle" that got a late flag changed the momentum of the game and lead to Vandy's touchdown that pulled them within six. I haven't been this disgusted by officiating since Jasp
  19. This is some of the reason why many dawg fans would not care if the rivalry with GT simply ended. It's just not as heated as you see the in-state rivalries between teams like Auburn-Alabama and South Carolina-Clemson. It's a lot tougher to find fans who pull for both sides in those rivalries. Dawg fans tend to hold up their end of the hate (Sports hate, not actual hate) but so many techies want to be on both sides, especially over the past decade when they've usually had little to cheer about. I think the Reggie Ball era is what really had many tech fans hopping over the fence. I can't im
  20. Not sure where I got Purdue from. I could have swore I talked to someone on here in the past who was into them. Pulling for both UGA and GT usually equals a tech fan since any real dawg fan would usually not be caught dead pulling for tech. Although I will admit a very small portion of me was glad to see them beat USC in the Sun Bowl. That just shows how much I dislike Lane Kiffin. Man, how the rivalry would amp up if he landed at tech once Johnson is eventually gone. You might see it this year if we had a DC who was not in over his head. The offense (prior to rash of injuries) could
  21. And how serious do I take it since you obviously know so much about me? Let me guess, someone types more than a few sentences about it so therefore their entire life revolves around it, right? I did not graduate from UGA. Like many, I simply grew up in a house where I was constantly exposed to UGA football, so I therefore grew up loving the dawgs and have been regularly going to games for 23 years. Good or bad, I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.
  22. Yep, they still won despite losing Keith Marshall, Justin Scott-Wesley, and Michael Bennett during the game. Not a easy task to lose that much firepower during a hostile road game and still manage to rally in spite of your defense and special teams doing whatever they could to help the vols. So a pretty fresh Oregon team at home is the same as a pretty wounded UGA team on the road? Do you even watch games other Missouri?
  23. Are you that guy who is a Purdue fan or something? Your team blows, so might as well hate on the dawgs? And the answer is no considering that the team they face will be different considering Missouri lost their starting quarterback. Our tiger friend was trying to pump up their backup earlier, but you usually don't see teams improving when they replace a veteran QB with an unproven freshman mid-season. I look forward to seeing Bryce Ramsey play for the dawgs, but no way would our offense get better if we put him in over Murray. The same goes the other way. SC and LSU got to face our
