I was a little surprised to see a 2-loss UGA team in the top 5 at the end of the season, especially with undefeated and 1-loss teams ranked lower. I think the pollsters had an “oh shit” moment when the # 1 and #2 teams lost during the last week. The final rankings were part reshuffling and part beauty contest. I’m happy with the Sugar Bowl and look forward to next year.

As to the media build up, I know we were mocking Urban last year on his claim for a chance at the big dance, but his campaign paid off and proved us wrong. I would have expected the UGA faithful to do no less.

You guys go out and do the SEC proud! See you next year.

Just saying.

Pretty sure after he shared this story with his wife she suggested he stop being such a tight-ass and let the boys have a little fun, ergo the post-touchdown celebration the following week.

Say what you will, I think the team has played with much more unity since Vandy. As you noted, prior to that they lost to the not-going-to-a-bowl Cocks and failed to apprear against the Vols.

When I first moved to Oregon many many years ago there was an Oregon State volleyball game on the teevee. Now, imagine for a moment that you are the Oregon State women’s volleyball manager. You have a number of choices of what to put on the team jerseys:

“Oregon State”

“OSU”

“O State”

“State”

or:

“Beavers”

Now guess which one they chose.

“$32 million…Worth Every Penny.”

That’s $4 million a year to get Croomed and Warhawked. I could have done that for much less.

Could anyone explain the reasoning, because I just dunno?

Keep us posted on the January developments, okay?

Oh, and even though we’re not planning on having any more kids, (I’m a man! I’m 42!) let me know if you find any of them Tebow drugs. I could use them myself.

Well they made movies in years other than 1980 also but you wouldn’t know it by talking to UGA fans.

They’re still hung up on the likes of Private Benjamin and Nine to Five.

#36 referred to your assertions about the Dawgs wearing black and that “obviously no one told (Richt) and he probably doesn’t care that Hawaii’s colors are black too. He probably thinks they’ll actually show in rainbow colors,” and implied nothing about home-field advantage.

I suspect he knows a trifle more about the Fighting Rainbows than you do (among other things).

#37: Their colors are green and white, but both players and fans like to show up in black.

#36: I know, home team advantage helped so much when it was Arkansas in Baton Rouge, and South Carolina in Athens, and Stanford at the Coliseum, LA-Monroe at Bryant-Denny, and Pitt in Morgantown… oh, wait.

#30: No, there is nothing.

(And #16 was actually in reference to the current #10.)

When one of UGA’s players plays the game after getting arrested for stealing a car, then you can talk.

And the photoshop fark is clearly referencing the “Spiderwalk” scene from The Exorcist. Of course that movie came out prior to 1990 so of course most Gator fans won’t believe it existed.

PS I didn’t bring up any of that, plus I was fighting the Cold War in 1971 and Dooley was out of my control. Good luck with your bowl game.
