Ok, so we ended up 8-4. Many Dawg fans predicted as such, but probably had our losses dispersed differently. Me, I'm not sure I'm over losing to Vandy AND Kentucky in the same year. I will say that QB Matt Stafford has finally come around. The future looks pretty bright for the next few years (Holy crap, I sound like a South Carolina Gamecock fan!!!). But we laid an ass-whoopin on Auburn (who was ranked #5 at the time) and game back and beat the Nerds for the 6th straight time.
Anywho, we play Virginia Tech in the Chick Fil A Peach Bowl on 12/30 in Atlanta. This is, of course, God's way of getting back at me. You see, I live in Roanoke, Va - about 30 minutes from Blacksburg (home of the Virginia Tech Hokies). Believe it or not, Roanoke is the biggest town around Blacksburg. They have to come HERE to get their freak on. Anyway, I have to listen to these nitwits day in and day out talk about their Hokies. Don't get me wrong, they have a terrific football team now, but their glorious football tradition is about 10 minutes old. They had this QB named Michael Vick in 1999 and EVER since then, they've acted like they are perennial contenders. I just think they are Johnny-come-latelys. I mean, they didn't know how to tailgate until LSU showed them how back in 2002. Seriously. If you are a fan of a particular team, but you live in the heartland of another team, you know what I mean when I say I CAN'T STAND IT ANY MORE.
Now, I'm not making a prediction on the game. I could see it going either way. Both teams are on an upswing. But if we lose to VA Tech ........well, I think I'm going to have to move. My car, my house, my clothes, my cell phone ringtone - all Georgia Bulldog tinted. I guess I set myself up for that, huh?
