Couldn’t have said it better myself

This is not my blog, but a forward from PhotoDawg’s friend JD in Savannah.

The week always seems to go a little better when the Dawgs win. Well, here it Sunday evening and I am just getting to the computer. Went to mass earlier today and talked with everyone at Church about what a total debacle the game was yesterday. Our priest actually went to UGA and was a Forestry Major there. I asked him for a little “divine intervention” for the rest of the season. I don’t know, maybe a few “Our fathers” and “Hail Mary’s” because we need them.

My wife, Robin, God bless her asked me to keep things in perspective. I smiled and thought to myself that really don’t want to keep it in perspective; I am enjoying my little pitty party and the fact that I am still PISSED about yesterday. Yes, I know those of us who feel this way are callous, immature etc….but yesterday just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I really don’t want to complain about the officiating but there were several missed calls, once again, by Mr. Wanker, I mean Wagers and his crew. This game reminded me a lot of a Ray Goff led team against Florida, meaning when we go down, we go down in flames. And another thing, when UGA wins, I never rub it in anyone’s face, except for Tech. I always try to take the high road and compliment the other team yada, yada, yada, but I am sick of doing that too.

With that being said, two people came up to me at church today and gave me the business. The worst part is that I don’t really even know these people who are suppose to be Florida fans. My friend Tom Mahoney was standing there with me when the 2nd instance happened. My question to all of you is this - do you think it is a sin to kick someone’s ass in the presence of the Lord? I had to give it some thought. I wonder how many “Our Fathers” and or “Hail Mary’s” that would cost me…… Well, I guess it is time to get on with the rest of the season not to mention worrying about the election on Tuesday. So now that all my bitching and complaining is over, here is some food for thought on the Florida game. (P.S. I feel better.)

Eight Mark Richt teams have made the trip to Jacksonville. Six have failed to score more than 14 points.

We tend to focus on Florida’s coaches and playmakers on offense when this game comes up, but Sylvester Croom’s offense can put up enough points to outscore what the Dawgs usually put up in Jacksonville. It happened again on Saturday. Many fans will look at the 49 and complain about the defense again, but this one is on the offense from the coaches on down. Blame refs, kicking woes, whatever, but the best RB, QB, and WR pair to play on one Georgia team in decades couldn’t manage but three points until garbage time.

For the second time this season, the Dawgs have failed - in spectacular fashion - to capitalize on the #1-ranked team losing.

With the national and conference goals unattainable now, Georgia’s going to get a gut check the next two weeks with two more road games. The players always seem to have an easier time than we do of shaking it off, so hopefully they’re already thinking about getting it back together for Kentucky.

It’s not that easy for me. There’s still plenty of football this season, but this loss needs to stick in Georgia’s craw. We mock the public drama and theatrics of Tebow and Meyer over last year’s game and the Ole Miss loss, but, hey - it worked.

Yes, losing 49-10 is a BIG DEAL. And the next time Knowshon tries to take himself out again at a key moment in the game, tell him to turn it right back around and man up.
