One for the Thumb!

Well, I'll start off by saying I'm completely over 'whiney Georgia fan.'  The only thing I can guess is people are stupid.  Maybe it's too much media attention.  I don't know.  People underestimate a coach's desire to win pretty.  They really don't care.  I can't tell you how much they don't care.  They just want to win and win them all.  In the end it's all that matters.  Yes, an ugly win might reveal a crack in your team, but it might not.  It might have been a bad day and you got away with it.  I've never seen a fan base that enjoys winning a bunch of games against rivals as Georgia's.  It probably won't get fixed until we win it all.  I think we're Red Sox fans.  We just assume the worst, can't stand it that the Yankees (i.e., the rest of the SEC) are winning championships, and feel like we've been incredibly talented and oh so close.  Red Sox fans have changed a lot in the last 10 years after those 2 titles.  They're not as sad or angry.  They can't be.  Like the Sox, it will probably take something of epic proportions to make it happen.  They were down 3-0 to the yanks and won game 4 in the 12th. I expect to be down 28 in the fourth to Auburn in the Dome and win the SEC in overtime.

• What I get most excited about is getting to watch #3 for a bunch more Saturdays this fall.  On the hurdle, I just shouted, "Oh my gosh."  Can he carry us?  I think he can.
• Why does Butch Jones button the top button on his polo.  Butch, please, that's weird.
• JULY 2014:  "I've never coached a bad secondary and don't plan to this year" -- Jeremy Pruitt.  SEPTEMBER 2014:  "There's a first time for everything, Coach." -- Me.
• Boy, watching the replay North got away with those off-setting unsportsmanlike penalties.  Should have just been him.
• Sheldon Dawson did an awesome job of not getting a penalty on Izzy's big return. 
• Butch has his guys playing hard.  They got South Carolina last year and they'll get someone this year.  But for the 2nd straight year, it won't be us :)
• Butch is a hot head.  I guess that's what Georgia fans want from our coach…emotion.  I kind of like winning better.
• I said last year that for 3 quarters of the game, UT had better skill talent, and they did.  Their WRs were better after our injuries and that back from Sandy Creek was better than Douglas and Green.  But we had Murray.  This year, their WRs were better and their QB was markedly better than ours.  But we had Todd Gurley.  For 2 years in a row, the team w/ the best player on the field won.
• If you see the endzone view of Mason's 1st pick, it's not as bad.  That dude fooled him into think that he's covering Rome then jumps in front of it.  If he pumps Bennett, Rome would have been wide open.  They dude gambled and got a pick on it.
• It's not luck that Worley got banged up.  It was football because we were beating the mess out of him.
• We're gonna miss Sony.  It's 5 weeks to Florida and 7 weeks to Auburn.  Those are the benchmarks.
• Time to see Brendan step up, and let's hope Keith gets better soon.  We might need #4 in Mizzou and Arky.
• I don't know what's up with Hutson.  The ball has no zip, and we saw plenty of zip in the last 3 games last year.  I don't know if it's a dead arm or what  This is not the same QB we saw to close the season.  Had he played like this last year, we wouldn't have been as confident this season.  Of course, we'd have lost to Tech.  I just can't figure it out.  Hope he gets it fixed or Ramsey fixes it.  If there are any 2 to trust with QBs, it's Richt and Bobo.  Wouldn't mind seeing Ramsey on the 3rd series this week.
• Can't wait to see those three WRs play.  They're not a little better than what we've got out there right now. They're a lot better.  We can't get open.
• You know, the game was perfect for UT.  They start off 10-0 at a noon game kickoff.  Crowd is slow going.  Hutson plays terrible.  Worley plays inspired.  It didn't matter.  I'm not sure why/how other fans don't see that.

Around the world:

• If we beat Mizzou, I really believe we might could lose to Auburn and win the East.  Don't want to do that, but it seems like one of those years. 
• We are better than Mizzou.  But we are better than South Carolina, too.
• Teddy texted me after the Mizzou game, and it's true:  How much grief would Richt have gotten for a loss like that?  Spurrier said he nor anyone else on the sidelines was thinking about going for 2 when they scored to go up 20-7.  Why in the world wasn't ANYONE thinking about that?
• There's a lot of teams with a lot of holes.  We ain't the only one.
• I will stand corrected if they gash us, but I just don't see Arky lining up and running it on us.  Our run defense ain't the problem.  Ramik is awesome against the run. 
• Boy, Bilemma is going to have nightmares about losing that game.
• At least we're not UNC's defense has given up 70 to ECU and 50 to Clemson in consecutive weeks.  I thought Fedora would be good there. 
• Clemson is going to beat USCjr. this year.  Book it.  Watson might kind of be their Murray and turn that series around.
• I think UT beats Florida in Knox County. 
• If FSU doesn't implode at some point, it will be a miracle.  It might be ugly, like a loss at Syracuse or something.
• Would somemone please beat ND?
• Ole Miss's powder blue helmets were AWESOME!

Go Dawgs!
Beat Vandy!
