Rest in peace, Florida.

V: Bless his heart, and a nice season so far with the U, but it says much for Richt Era PTSD that I was absolutely sure the Dawgs were gonna blow it when it was 21-0. Then Georgia's defense reminded me that, nah, we cool.

V2: This is a particularly unlikeable Florida team, from its smack-talking, chippy players, to its bucktoothed weirdo coach. Whole thing's a mess. I assume McElwain's detonated himself and got himself fired with cause because of the whoopsy-daisy-not-really-death-threats, so if we're living in a world where he's gone and Butch Jones remains, uh

V3: Muschamp's gonna be UGA's best test in a while, no really, so the team better be ready to bring the wood next week. Fromm might have to complete more than 4 passes.

There’s still a South Carolina that’s gaining momentum, a semi-competent Kentucky, and Auburn left for Georgia (Georgia Tech too but they suck). Auburn is likely their last test before Judgment Day in Atlanta, but the other two SEC games are not to be taken lightly. Kirby seems to have fixed the problem Georgia’s had with sleepwalking into games though so I’m feeling pretty confident.

Kentucky and South Carolina are both better than Florida/Tennessee/Vanderbilt. Long way to go, yeah.

been almost ten years I think since Georgia's gotten a first-place vote in the AP poll

UGA finished '07 with 3 first place votes in the AP poll. Started 2008 at #1, were immediately bumped down to 2 (with some first place votes), then 3, then the Bama Blackout happened.

Not that it matters other than "wow, this season really came out of nowhere," but I think UGA's gonna be #1 tonight. Right in time for Muschamp to do a 2014-on-Roids to us this Saturday.

What were realistic Georgia expectations before the season? I thought you guys looked like you were building in the right direction last year, but I wasn't expecting a full on championship run from you guys in the near future. Even after you shut us out at Neyland I just figured that was more about us sucking than anything else until you kept winning.

I thought UGA would go an artful, watchable 8-4 (I mean, they still can, but) and 2018 would be the monster year.

That Dooley title was pretty lucky anyway, both in that a freshman came out of nowhere to have one of the best seasons of all time and the SEC was pretty awful that year. I think Notre Dame in the bowl game was the only game they played against a team that finished in the final AP poll.

1980 UGA was, like, the 2002 Ohio State of that era.



Everyone remembers Herschel running on UT, but no one remembers it was a 1-score win over an unranked team that went 5-6.

IIRC – and I was pretty drunk, admittedly – Florida had Zaire warming up early in the WLOCP, but never went to him even as Franks kept getting killed. Finally pulled the trigger late in the game when no one cared anymore. Weird.

Georgia does the Krypton Theme and last season added "everyone turns their cell phone light on" and it's rad.

Vol For Life Coordinator (uh...?) resigns, blasts Butch

quote:

Former Vol Antone Davis said he submitted his letter of resignation Oct. 31 as VFL coordinator after six years because he endured “constant intimidation, bullying and mental abuse’’ from Tennessee coach Butch Jones.

...

Davis said that working under Jones “has been one of the worst work experiences I have ever had.’’
