A friend of mine( who supports another SEC team) once told me that when Georgia is winning, it just feels like they are toying with you. Like they are just stringing you along. I can assure you, no Dawg fan I know has EVER felt like that. And Saturday’s 26-23 win in OT was no different. 1. I’m curious to know if the manufacturer who makes Danell Ellerbe’s helmet is the same maker of all the other Georgia helmets. If not, we need to fix that. I swear that thing has come off about four times this year. Danell, you’ve got dreadlocks, yes, we get it. Strap that thing up and leave it on before you crack your skull!!!
2. Have you ever seen Coach Richt move so fast as when he was giving the motion to spike the ball at the end of regulation? For all you fans who asked that he “show some fire”, I think that may be all you get this year.
3. I don’t think that our dropped passes are as bad as fans think, but now that the issue is talked about, I think we harp on EVERY SINGLE ONE. Granted Tripp Chandler had a rough second half, but he caught one when it counted.
4. Speaking of Chandler’s catch, that set up what would have been the winning field goal. I’m sorry that Brandon Coutu missed it but I was relieved to see his reaction when it sailed just left. He was genuinely angry. What that tells me is that he had no doubt in his mind that he could make that, even after missing a 51 yarder earlier. Call it arrogance, call it cockiness, whatever – I want my kicker to have the kind of swagger that Brandon does.
5. Don’t take this the wrong way, because I’m really excited about Knowshon Moreno. But he had a run in the second half that ended close to the sideline where he collided with a defender – he looked like he was more interested in knocking the defender off his feet than getting the extra yards. In fact, I wasn’t sure he ever went out of bounds until he was jumping around in celebration. Coach Richt confirmed this in his press conference, saying that he could have cut back in and gained enough for the 1st down. Hey, the guy is definitely exciting to watch, but I don’t want to see him posing for the camera or showing off.
6. Bama fans knew this, but the media got a reality check – the Trinity still includes God The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. Nick Saban will have some work to do before he cracks that club.
7. I wonder if Tide DE Wallace Dingleberry Gilberry was able to get Matt Stafford’s phone number and home address AFTER the game since he got nowhere near him DURING the game?
8. The Dog Pile Maximus. I could really get used to it.
