    Sports Center, godaddy and College Football

    This time of the year I can often be found watching Sports Center late at night.  I am a glutton for punishment…  Listening to ESPN commentators saying that Matt Stafford will be leaving Georgia early and likely getting picked up as the #3 pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the Draft.  Hoping someone will finally get the Florida coach out of the SEC and into the NFL or anywhere other than the Georgia backyard.  Watching highlights.  It’s fun.  Sometimes, it gets to be really late at night before I get a chance to watch a little Sports Center and chill out before bed.  That’s when the GoDaddy.com commercials come…

    Wild Game Against the Wildcats for Georgia

    Georgia won, but barely.  In a 42 to 38 win over Kentucky, Georgia could have looked better.  Maybe it’s being out of the National Title hunt, or maybe it’s just that Kentucky is a dangerous team.  Kentucky is not bad this year, but haven’t managed to beat a ranked team yet.

    Georgia Falls to Florida (again)

    Beating the University of Florida seems to be something that the Bulldogs can do rarely.  This weekend was one of the more difficult losses to look at, with the Gators piling up 49 points on the Bulldogs.  I won’t sleep well…

    Georgia Tops LSU

    In a 52 to 38 win Georgia knocked off the 13th ranked team in the land, the LSU Tiger, ending any shot that LSU had at a national title and increasing their own.  The BCS ranking now have them listed 6th in the nation after that win.  Next up is the Florida Gators in the annual showdown in Jacksonville.  Given that 2 teams ranked above Georgia are playing this weekend, a win against the Gators would put Georgia back into the top 5 with the potential of a national title ahead of them.

    Georgia Hangs on to Beat Vanderbilt

    #10 in the nation, UGA hang on this weekend to knock off #20 Vanderbilt, 24-14.  Vanderbilt put up a good fight until the end.  The first release of the BCS standings comes out on Sunday and Georgia will certainly be somewhere in the top 10.  Next weekend the Dawgs take on #13, LSU and shortly there after get #8 Florida.   If the Bulldogs can hang on to win the remaining games on the schedule then the SEC Championship game will likely net a rematch between UGA and #2 Alabama, who shot up the rankings when they won the game the first time around.

    Georgia Drops Tennessee

    The Bulldogs today keep their hunt for a National Title birth alive by knocking off the Tennessee Volunteers.  A win over the Vols, who beat Georgia last year, blocking them for the National Title will likely propel the Dawgs up in the rankings after a little more movement in the top 10.  Next up, Georgia has to run the gauntlet against Vandy, LSU and then Florida, all in the top 25.  If Georgia can successfully navigate this maelstrom then they should be sitting pretty moving into the last 3 games of their schedule, which includes Auburn, #20 in the nation.  The Georgia schedule is noted as the hardest in the…

    Stunned by the Tide

    After taking the game into OT last year, the Dawgs simply couldn’t stop the Tide in the first half.  We cleanly won the second half, but just couldn’t overcome the hole we dug ourselves into early in the game.  They beat us at the line.  Clearly the O-Line needs work.  You see, football is a game often won or lost at the line of scrimmage.   This sets up the running game by providing blocks and therefore running lanes or it provides the quarterback with the time needed to make passes.  The Alabama line won this game.  All the rest of the team had to do was basically not screw up……
