This Week's Georgia Football Commentary (With pictures used completely without permission) ;)


1.  I am too old for night games. I just got home this morning from the game. I feel like I've been hit by a truck and I didn’t drink a drop. 


 2. I didn’t get hit by a truck, but on that fake punt, I did get hit in the shoulder by my “friend” to the left of me. That set off a slight domino effect that left a poor lady in the last seat sitting in the stairwell.

3.  I know Todd Gurley is a beast and a half. But Chubb is a workhorse. I PROMISE you I heard Larry Munson’s gravelly voice come from the sky after that run where Chubb bounced off the defender. It sounded something like “he’s driving and running with those big thighs”.  I’ll admit I was a little misty eyed when I looked to the heavens, conveniently located over Sanford Bridge and answered him with “My God, Larry, a Freshman!”

4.   On the first Auburn drive when Auburn seemed to be running at will, I had to invoke a little divine intervention. My LMS Peeps know that when the going gets tough at work, I just close my eyes and say “Fix it, Jesus.”  Y’all look at this picture and tell me Uga isn’t saying “fix it, Jesus”.  Not a doubt in my mind that Uga loves the Lord.


5. David Andrews is my kinda player. If I had to give the game ball to someone other than Chubb, it’d be to that hoss.  After a crucial touchdown, he went nuts on the field. It was much better seeing it on TV. I didn’t get the full effect live. If you didn’t see it, the vine link is  here After watching, refer back to #2. That’s precisely what Beth Haynes was doing to my left shoulder at that very moment.
6.   Did y’all watching it on TV think that Mark Richt just randomly changed his mind on that 4th down? Maybe it was the booing from the student section you think? Nope. It was Beth coming over the rails and grabbing his headset. That’s how she ended up in the paddywagon.
Don’t fret. Mark let her go after the touchdown. (I’m kidding, Marcelle.) This is not for real.

7.   After this game, I’m even more puzzled as to what melted down at Florida. Florida is the F word in my house, so that’s why I can’t say anything else about it other than it was sweet to see the Ol’ Ball Coach beat the Gators in the Swamp yesterday.

8.  What may have been sweetest of all though, was seeing grass in Nick Marshall’s helmet. He is a punk. I’m not just saying that because he got kicked out of Georgia and landed at Auburn. I mean that’s not exactly rare these days is it? He is a little too big for his britches and it was quite nice to see him shut down and held to 41 yards rushing.

9.  On a more serious note, it’s been some time since I’ve been to a game in Athens. I was really shocked at the trash all over the place. I’d love to think that it was left by pissed off Auburn fans. But I’m sure it wasn’t. I have to wonder if you losers throwing your beer bottles and potato chip bags all over campus actually went to school there. If so, you were undeserving of such an experience and I hope Karma bites you in the butt somehow… by having your kids end up at Auburn or something. Beth and Tim said it looked the same way at Arkansas but that’s different. That is Arkansas. Their mascot is a pig for goodness sake.

 10.   It’s great to be a Georgia Bulldog. Even when you are pushing 40 and can barely stand upright the morning after riding home sleeping at a 90 degree angle in the backseat of a chevy truck. Thank goodness next week’s game is a 12 o’clock game or this ol’ Dawg might not make it.
Oh one more thing… shout out to my friend Stacy’s daughter, Raley, who just found out she got into UGA! Best wishes for an incredible 4 years!
