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 t
hese 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!!
