I wish I had some particularly special, deep insight I could share with you about today’s Appy State game, but, alas, no such luck. I don’t expect Georgia to cover, but things should still be comfortably boring.
All I can say is that I hope that the currently banged up get healthy, nobody else gets hurt, Murray takes down Wuerffel’s record and we see Hudson Mason early and often.
I know it’s not much, but I’ve been too busy enabling lately to come up with more.
Consider this your game day thread. I’m heading out of here for the Classic City.

Prediction: Dawgs win and look sloppy doing it
LikeLike
I think we’ll play a good game this time. We have a history of that after Florida wins. Additionally, there’s been so much costly sloppiness resulting in losses and near-losses that the staff has to be emphasizing focused effort regardless of score or clock. Today they push the players to go all out, all day.
59-13, I say.

How are you feeling about that prediction?
I’m not being snarky. Your prediction is what it SHOULD be. But for some reason, our program just has ZERO killer instinct and hasn’t had any for about 7 years.

Obviously I was wrong. Next time I’ll just predict when you show up and what you have to say instead.

I have been by there but never inside. Do they have a decent set-up for football? Decent food? Pouring license? I may have to try to for an NFL day when it is rainy or cold, or maybe a good Monday night/Thursday night when there aren’t so many viewing options to switch back and forth to. All of North Ga, and much of Central Ga has the game either on Direct TV or any cable that gets WSB out of Atlanta.

Bar area has TV’s ..four I think. On the porch by the bar they have outdoor pool tables and sofa’s. Huge dinning room with big fire place and live music on occasion. Very nice and food is excellent.

It’s postgame and I had to listen to it on XM…the Dawg broadcasting team is a pain…seem to describe field events as an afterthought and I was staggered by the amount of advertising. In between the chatter and ads I was able to suffer through the first half, enjoy the second half, and feel happy for Mason and the reserve Dawgs (not reservoir dogs!). Hope never to have to listen to Howard again nor Zieir (sp) analysis either. I now live in dread for next week’s game. DVR’d the Auburn/Tenn game and it was a laughfer..unless you were a Volunteer. Malzahn has to get Coach of the Year in SEC if not nation..a helluva turnaround. Anyone disagree?

On a 3 game teaser I have Appy and 50 points, couldn’t resist. Wouldn’t mind losing it if it means Mason is given a chance to run the offense for over a quarter. I am thinking UGA wins something like 48-10. Plenty of room for Dawg fans to be happy and me not to have my blood pressure raised. Mostly hoping for no major injuries and an improved UGA team in all phases of the game.

Your teaser looks like a sure thing based on the 1st quarter. Our defense can’t stop App.State team that scored only 10 points against Furman and Samford, and scored only 6 points against Montana.

^^This. Georgia’s got a real chance to beat Auburn if our O personnel are healthy and our D plays like it has the last 2 games. That said, we’ve got to stop the mental mistakes on O and ST. It doesn’t have to be a perfect game–just a competent one.

Our defense is not improving. It has not turned the corner. There is no way to spin this. We played a historically bad Gator offense and a weak Vandy offense. So whatever glimmer of hope we took from those games should be extinguished. The Gators averaged 4.56 ypp on offense against UGA. They averaged 2,52 ypp against Missouri.

2007 team… Look at how many players on that team went to the pros, and then explain those brutal pathetic losses to SC and Tenn.
On offense alone:
Matt Stafford (top 10, maybe top 5 NFL QB)
AJ Green (top 5 NFL WR)
Knowshon Moreno (top 15 RB in the NFL, rushing, receiving, and blocking).
And the defense. Off the top of my head I recall at least 7-9 players on that D made the pros.
And yet we choke away 2 horrible games.
But of course, you have another convenient excuse “but for a tipped pass!!!!!”

Dawgs held AS to 6..not bad. Their first drive was maddening..8 minutes of short completions.
The announcers (after Georgia had a player ejected and 15 yd penalty, another penalty for a personal foul, and another penalty for pass interference that was possibly tipped…all on the same AS drive) spoke of the tenacity of the AS offense. But this was truely a flag happy crew..both teams saw a lot of yellow.
I can’t wait to see the UF blogs….I wonder if they are going to try to get James Franklin….There should be clauses in the contract of every coach in the conference prohibiting them from going to another SEC school without a “layover” of at least a year at a non-conference school or a sit out.
I dont’ really know if UF would consider Franklin…but there’s gonna be heat in the kitchen down in the swamp. They’re going to cook that Bulldog Boom.
