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.

Football is King

Is it wrong that I have spent half of the last two mornings at the office eagerly reading any information I can get on the UGA Vs Ok State game on Saturday?

Apparently I am living for Saturday at 3:30 PM.

Gooooooo Dawgs!

Wow - only 3 years for a new post...

I originally wanted to start this blog when I was out living in LA - completely fed up with hearing about the Hack (Pac) 10 while missing SEC football and all of the traditions it brings. However, after my friend Jen and I sat down slightly inebriated to write the first post, I quickly forgot about the blog idea. I have since moved back to Atlanta and I am eagerly awaiting the start of college football. According to the AJC, I only have 4 days - 23 hours - 11 minutes - 17 seconds until kickoff brings the Georgia Bulldogs against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. I just got excited typing that!

Hopefully I will bring some funny posts to the blog this football season as we see what an untested Georgia QB with a team in 'rebuilding.' Of course, there might also be some pop culture and entertainment thrown in there as well.

Until then...

An introduction of sorts - or mindless rambling...

So all I really wanted to do was post a comment to someone's rant with a cool user name. The next thing I knew, I had my own page to blog/comment until my heart's content. I have decided that this blog creation is kismet as I enjoy writing and probably drive most my friends up the wall with my diatribes on numerous subjects. Unfortunately for some of you readers out there, the birth of this blog has come during the time of year I consider most Holy - College Football Season. Mainly this means that I will be posting rants, raves and comments about my favorite team - The University of Georgia Bulldogs - and disparaging all other teams, conferences and all commentators who do not believe in the greatest team of all "The Dawgs" and the amazing conference that is the SEC...
Being a transplant in LA, most of my complaining will be about the little conference that can't, or rather the Hack, I mean PAC 10. I can't tell you how many times during the fall I have to endure the endless conversations where I hear that the PAC 10 is underappreciated and that there is an East coast bias. Sure, I will give you USC - the are amazing, but honestly, having to hear Cal whine when there were left out of the BCS game and then watch them get embarrassed in what they considered such a 'lesser bowl,' just gave fuel to the PAC 10 doubters. At least when Auburn whined about being left out of the BCS Championship game, they were undefeated and most likely would have given USC more of a run for their money than Oklahoma (which I can barely discuss since they played in a national championship game when they couldn't even win their own conference title) did.

Anywho - I am getting off track. I hope to blog about football, entertainment, other sports and possibly world/news events when it strikes me, I hope that y'all will enjoy!
