      In Central Georgia today… Yesterday’s rain has moved out..Morning breaks as bright as a new penny ! The sunshine is perfect, the air cool, nice fall windgusts are softly drying the colorful sweetgums, hickorys and maples.
      I hope it’s an omen.

    You both consider yourselves in a much happier place — I woke to the spectacle of a sky filled with snowflakes (BIG/Thick ones). And I may just be forced to shovel at some point.

    As to the Party, I do believe J.Brantley to be a block of salt in the pocket, highly vulnerable. Though if we intend to force the issue straight through the Guard/Center gaps that could leave the Dawgs exposed to their sweeps and outside-the-tackles stuff. I tentatively hope the Cheeseburglar aims to test the secondary to exploit the 1st half absence of Williams — that may be the boot we need to kick out the cooler. With a passing rating of 125 UF is #8 in the SEC.

    I’d expect many more 1st down passes from UF (in keeping with bye week adjustment practices), and if the D defends those well we can rely more on the Grantham 3rd-down magic.

    Gator fans at the local high school football game last night were kind of reserved. Only one smarky comment. We agreed Georgia should win, but also agreed that “should” means nothing. Parted by agreeing that whoever wins the East is buying a beatdown in ATL (although I really don’t necessariliy believe it if the Dawgs go…they’ll be competitive).
    Gator fan loaned me and the wife an umbrella. We did everything except sing “cumbya”. …..I say Dawgs, 24 to 20

    It’s impossible for me to be optimistic about this game.

    Also, it looks like I’ll probably miss the first 30+ minutes of the game, as they’ll be airing the VT-Duke on CBS in my area, and that game doesn’t start until 12:30. Don’t suppose anyone knows a cheap and easy way around this problem … ?

      Baltimore’s right, cbs will stream it online. I don’t mind that they wait til the end of a close game (acc crapfest games up here), but when they go down to interview the coaches at 3:50, that’s when I blow a gasket. Is Frank Beamer really gonna say anything different than he’s said in the last 20 years?

          Shouldn’t that be covered in “Play-by-play 101”? I don’t mind that he doesn’t have Larry’s style (who does), but it is basic to let the listener visualize where the ball is one the field. The only people in the world that care about knowing the yardline where the ball rests, or is passing over, and can’t see it are his listeners…don’t keep us in suspense!

      You said it…as ever, the big Uglies. There is some beef & quickness on that UF D-Front for penetration, so I don’t think the misdirection stuff will be there, but then the Dawgs hardly use that anyway. Also I’d like to see some PA out to the fullbacks and even IC — give him so outside room to maneuver. W/O Mitchell, the O needs to get more creative than the occasional Go-Route or slants to Bennet/King. Sic ‘Em now, boys!

    Maybe when the 14th team comes in we can petition to move to the West and get out of having to play this game anymore.

    It is beyond a mental hurdle, at this point, it is simply an absolute tire-fire-cluster-fuck. In no other game of the year do you see the shit that happens in this game. Balls off helmets, etc. We just need to quit playing the game, period. I don’t know what else to say.

    We could take the ’89 49ers down to Jacksonville in UGA uniforms to match up with Bolles HS JV team and would be down 28-10 at halftime. It is fucking mind boggling.

      We’ll just ride RSIV to three yards and stumble, but, ya know, maybe he has one of those Arkansas ’09 runs in him. And we know by now the Gators will be blitzing 80% of the snaps. Murray MUST complete quick slants and screens (preferably avoiding the HELMET) to back off these blitzers.

    I finally feel today that Coach Richt still like to continue coaching at UGA. I think he got out of his comfort zone several times. It was a close game but again the main problem is in the special teams that basically gave away 10 points. Bobo also at least called for Samuel in those runs who UF has not been able to stop that much today.
