Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chip Towers is reporting that Gurley’s knee injury is indeed season-ending.

That ain’t right, man.

I know it’s an irrational response on my part, but I hate the NCAA even more now.  Which I didn’t think was possible, to be honest.

A mark of quality

Look, I get that nothing is going to erase the sour taste from our mouths of the South Carolina and Florida losses.  So be it.

But as far as judging the overall quality of this team goes, start with this:  Georgia is seventh in the country in scoring offense and 22nd nationally in scoring defense.  The Dawgs have a score differential of +21.5 ppg, which is tied with Ole Miss at the top of the SEC.  Any way you want to look at that, it doesn’t suck.

A thing of beauty

Behold, the work of art that was last night’s Auburn drive chart:

That bad boy is suitable for framing.

“Wow, what a bad break for the Bulldogs.”

This clip was the first thing I had to go hunting for this morning.

Yeah, that’s about what I thought.  That’s badly blown enough, it might even get an acknowledgement from the SEC office.

In the vast scheme of things, it didn’t wind up biting Georgia in the ass, so that’s a relief.  But it sucks when something that pretty gets taken away through no fault of your own.

Damn it, Agent Muschamp. You had one job.

After watching Florida’s epic collapse in the waning moments of yesterday’s less-than-epic meteor game with South Carolina, I’m not sure which I find more unbelievable – that the Gators lost, or that Georgia somehow managed to find a way to lose to both teams this season.

Geez, football gods.  Sometimes you have the weirdest sense of humor.

The Zooker wonders what took Foley so long.  And do we say Boom was Spurriered?

It’s great… to be… a pessimistic Georgia Bulldog!

It seems that ours is not an easy course this season, my friends.  Only a Georgia fan would have to have his or her emotions tempered after a tremendous win like last night’s by a potentially career-threatening injury to its star player and by the unsettling realization that Gary Pinkel may have borrowed Gus Malzahn’s rabbit’s foot.

Here’s hoping that Gurley’s injury isn’t too serious.  As far as Missouri goes, I said a couple of weeks ago on the podcast with Weiszer and Page that I was starting to detect a faint whiff of 2007 to this season.  That scent is only growing stronger. So, here’s hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself.  Let’s face it:  we’re all Vols fans this week.
