Gut-Reaction Pick That Might Change In The Next Few Days On A Whim: Michigan State 27 ... Georgia 23

Georgia only has one decent win – Georgia Tech. There’s a chance that Georgia isn’t nearly as good as the stats, playing against a slew of miserable SEC offenses. If the Dawgs had played the three best teams from the West in the regular season – Arkansas, LSU, and Alabama – they probably would’ve been 7-5 and looking for a new head coach.

Not that I care what CFN thinks (they obviously don't think about improving their crappy website), but from the outside looking in, and without seeing UGA play this year, I would probably say the same thing. Of course, I would know that IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT WE WOULD PLAY THOSE THREE TEAMS IN THE SAME SEASON. I mean, continuing that logic, if we had played those three powerhouses from the West (not so sure about Arkansas, but I digress) and Boise State and South Carolina and Oklahoma State and Oregon and Wisconsin and Stanford and Virginia Tech and Baylor and the Denver Broncos, we could easily be 0 - 12 right now and looking for a new athletic director.

This sounds a lot like the kind of negativity that gets thrown around on this and other UGA boards. IMO, it's a pretty powerful and relevant assessment of the team and the coaching staff. I can't wait until the DawgSports heavyweights opine on these statements...

"What has he been doing for nine years? I have never heard any college, high school, professional coach [say] that [he] was not able to spend enough time on football."

"If we are hiring religious instructors, let’s go to the Candler School of Theology over here in Decatur and get some of their people to come and coach our football team."

"...Alabama and Auburn and Tennessee are working and kicking our butts and recruiting people and getting coaches that have spread offenses. I mean, can you imagine? We scored two field goals against Central Florida."

It's that simple. I'm strongly resisting the urge to add anything else to this post.... urge resisted.

Will UGA be better, the same, or worse next year than this year?

Okay. I resisted the urge, but Dawg Sports insisted I continue to type. So that's what I'm doing. I'm typing, I'm typing...

Yes. I am aware that this poll would probably hold more weight after our misery has ended this season is finally over. And yes, I'm aware that a lot of people wanted to beat me up in the last poll. So I didn't make that an option this time.

I say this will ruin your day because you will realize how much our RB talent has fallen. You'll realize that phenoms like this come along once in a lifetime, and for UGA fans, it's happened twice. You'll probably then realize that there is no sign of having this kind of talent at RB in the near future. It's certainly not there now. You'll then get tears in your eyes as you watch this Superman do things like: follow blocks and anticipate holes, stop on a dime, avoid tackles, break tackles, and catch passes. Oh, shut up VDawg, let the video speak for itself.

You might want to grab a beer, turn off the sound, and watch it over and over again. Then again, you might comment that I should shut up and focus on the future...

Either way. Let's get in touch with our inner selves. Tell me how this video makes you feel.

Two things crossed my mind as I awoke at 4 AM this morning with adrenaline pumping through my body like HGH flowing a through Barry Bonds homerun Ray Lewis sack Roger Clemens fastball:

1) I don't just smell blood, I can taste it. I'm in Gator Country. I was raised there. I was born in Gainesville. I have a degree from the University of Florida!!! But by the grace of God, my Moultrie-bred father injected me with a red and black serum that has allowed me to fend off intense Gator indoctrination camps as a child and labor through the daily attacks and annual humiliation I've endured as a teen and adult. But today... today... it all changes. It's my time. It's our time!!! Today, we retake our rightful place in this rivalry. Oh yes... make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after, it's a reckoning!!! That's right, after today, when the answer is "the people responsible for alligator extinction and the early retirement of Urban Meyer", rest easy knowing the question is "Who let the Dawgs out?!?!?!"

2) Perhaps the reason my poem scored so low in the poll was because the last line didn't resonate enough with the voters. "So 1... 2, 3, 4, and 5, dem dere Gata won't make it out alive" was a reference to the end of this fine example of American eloquence:

Poetry, why didn't I think of that:

The fans, they booed, and Russ, he growled,

as many in DawgNation threw in their towels.

Forget it, we suck, done wasting our time,

Playcalling stinks and pass coverage, a crime.

Speaking of criminals, there's another arrest,

take off Bulldawg jersey, put on bright orange vest.

Hey, at least it can only get better from here,

lost 4 in a row for first time in years.

Look up to the scoreboard and what do I see,

a lopsided victory against Tennessee.

Somethings not right, that's consecutive wins,

as Vandy's shut down again and again.

Okay, here's Kentucky, make me a believer,

We won even though we can't stick a receiver.

I must admit that I'm starting to wonder,

can we beat the team located right under

the great state of Georgia, yes I think we can,

not just because I'm such a big fan.

But mainly due to these 2 reasons:

UGA VIII plus Green equals a brand new season.

This time we'll beat them with a little more class,

And a big heaping dose of "get after that ass"

So 1... 2, 3, 4 and 5,

dem dere Gata wont make it out alive!

I really don't know what to say but here's the link along with very little info except that he will be participating in a 12 week boot camp:

Ex-NFL star Herschel Walker signs deal with MMA promoter Strikeforce

I seriously doubt he would do this unless he was confident he could smash some face in. At the age of 47, he's still built like a 30 yr. old. I hope he can fight like one....
