Who ARE these guys?

Swagger [swag-er]- to walk or strut with a defiant or insolent air.

Seems like the less I write, the better the Dawgs do.
It occurred to me why no one thinks Georgia is an elite football program yet. For the past few weeks, many in the media have been wondering if the Dawgs can keep up the kind of energy it takes to win big games. Now, a rival fan will tell you that the Dawgs are doomed – Richt has to keep pulling these cutesy little stunts (endzone celebration, black jerseys) to keep the players fired up. Sounds like a sore loser to me. I mean, some of these same rival fans said Georgia would be good again in a couple of years, but not this year. Now that Georgia is on the verge of a 9 or 10 win season with a roster full of sophomores and freshmen, no one wants to admit that talent is taking over. What you are witnessing is a scenario where everything that Coach Richt HOPED would come together IS coming together. And everyone is having fun, including Richt.
Many of those close to Coach Richt saw this coming. Oh, I don’t mean they knew he would purposely orchestrate unsportsman-like penalties and the like. But they knew he would have more time on his hands now that the play-calling duties had been handed over to Mike Bobo. And Richt hasn’t had that extra time since………..well, never. He’s been calling plays his entire career. So what does he do with his newfound free time? Work on his high diving techniques? Pick out a haircut style more acceptable to the new millennium? No, he’s yelling at referees and choreographing end zone dances. And why not, the Dawgs are getting yards on the ground, through the air, making sacks, getting interceptions…….life is good.

Swagger indeed. Bring on the Wildcats!!

Latest News & I Don’t Make Predictions Week 9

Uh, not much happened this past week.

DAWGS RULE AND GATORS DROOL!!!!!!

I could go on and on and on about Georgia’s win over Florida, but it’s been done to death. As it should be. Some quick points:
**If you’re one of those whining about all of Georgia’s players rushing the field after our first TD, I will refer you to the Dave Chapelle (via Rick James) quote – “It’s a CELEBRATION, bitches!!”
**I’ve never seen someone who looked as unhappy as Florida coach Urban Meyer did. I was pretty sure he was going to cry in the third quarter. And they should award him some stats since he was parked halfway out to the hash mark for a better part of the game.
**Why can only the Gators do the chomp? You’re telling me that if Erik scored a TD and he woof woof woofed the crowd that he would get a flag thrown? I don’t think so.
**I usually don’t buy into the hype that’s given to players, but…….Knowshon Moreno. WOW!
**Also, since we won, I can legally say that was some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen. They missed a call or two against us as well.

A few weeks ago, everyone was writing the Dawgs obituary. Now, we could win out (and hope for a UT loss) and make it back to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game. But alas, we must focus on Troy this weekend.

Other games (that no one cares about):
LSU @ Alabama – The Saban Bowl. See Nick coach the Cajuns. See Nick leave for the NFL millions while Les Miles coaches the Saban leftovers. See Nick fall on his ass in Miami. See Alabama sell their soul to the devil to get Saban back. See Nick tell recruits that LSU’s success is all on him. See an all out BRAWL this Saturday.
Vandy at Florida – Oh, you really WANT Vanderbilt to win but they just won’t. The Gators are still mad about our CELEBRATION, BITCHES!!!
South Carolina @ Arkansas – The Ole Ball Coach has perfected the art of being a tool. I mean, he gives preacher’s kids a bad name. I should have a better reason to pull for Arkansas than “I hate Steve Spurrier”. I’d like to see Darren McFadden do well, how ‘bout that?
