It was UGA-ly, but it was a win

I am sitting here at 1:30 AM having a few beers to celebrate another difficult win for the Dawgs, reading blog comments and thinking that maybe we have a chance this year. I know there are so many naysayers about how the Dawgs are playing and we do need to evaluate keeping CWM as defensive coordinator, but the fact remains, we are getting the W's.

Like every Dawg fan this year, I am over the nail biter games and I am ready for us to play 4 complete quarters on both ends of the ball. That said, we made some great defensive plays tonight and without the turnovers, who knows how many points we could have held ASU to. I understand that while ASU has the #1 defense in the nation, they haven't played high caliber teams, but their defense still made plays and created scoring opportunities. We shouldn't have turned over the ball and we should have scored some more TD's when we had the chance. That doesn't take away from the fact that we did get the W.

Thank you to AJ Green for making the plays when it counted. Thank you for Curran continuing to never let up, for Rambo making that great interception and for Blair Walsh delivering the game winning field goal. As for the officiating tonight, missed face masks, interference calls and no un-sportsman like call on that ASU player shoving the ref - maybe you should go back and review the rule book. I have never seen something more blatant than that ref push. Seeing something like that reminds me of the old school Miami (thug U) teams and those teams of the Ciminoles.

Another blight on tonight's game for me was listening to the windbag ex-Washington QB who was clearly in favor of ASU. My bad for thinking commentators were suppose to be unbiased. Oh - to say that rain would be in favor of ASU, a team from the desert - really? I suppose they have been practicing in the sprinklers to prepare for that...

I don't think that the Dawgs are the #1 team in the nation, but I do think we are doing a pretty damn good job of pulling out some wins this year. I am going to stand behind them and stop talking about how CWM needs to be fired. If we don't think the players are reading all of the fan forums and don't realize we think the D coordinator is a bad coach, we are wrong. How can they have faith in their coach when we have none. Let's see how the season plays out and hope that CMR will be able to make some tough decisions at the end of the season if they are warranted.

DawgNation - stop all the negativity and let's get behind the team for the rest of the season. We have one of the toughest schedules in the NCAA and we need all the support we can get.

Thanks for the W tonight Dawgs - Let's make it one more against LSU next week.
