HEY HEY! WORST CASE NOW....THE MUSIC CITY BOWL!
Well thanks to Laney Kiffin's future business leaders of America and the fact that Auburn couldn't take advantage of Willie Martinez, it looks like Georgia might just go to the OUTBACK BOWL!
Aussie Chips are falling from the sky!
The Dawgs looked terrible for the first 12 minutes of this past Saturday's contest against fellow-suckbag Auburn, but then Georgia turned it on. Caleb King ran with a purpose and racked up 66 yards plus two 4th quarter scores and made me NOT want to call him a puss for the entire walk back to our tailgate. (Once I was back, then I called him one again, but HEY, he was given a break for a good 25 minutes.)
Throw in Washaun Ealey's 98 yards and the running game, when Bobo commits to it, looks rather OK. (That was meant as a compliment)
The passing game took a HUGE hit when AJ Green landed on his shoulder and will be out until a bowl game (OUTBACK????) which means that while we will beat Kentucky, we will now probably lose to Tech. I DID like that Troupe caught a 50-yard TD pass and hopefully TKing will get his head and hands on straight to step up in AJ's absense. If he gets his mind right, he can TOTALLY pick up the slack. If other teams choose to single cover him thinking Tavarres cannot beat them, they will be mistaken. King was quite good up at Habersham-Central. I got to follow him for a few games and that kid is a stud. He has the potential, he just needs to realize it. This is the perfect stage for him to do so.
And Cornelius Washington looks like he has come to play the second half of this season. Good for him. Team him with JHoustin and we might just have something cooking next year.
Two more things to say about the Georgia game. I hope Bacarri Rambo can return for the Tech game because that kid has been a stud all year when he's gotten the chance to play. I think he INTd one against Arizona State and at Wilcox Co, he ran offense too and was Synjyn Days and Barry BJ Bostic, before those guys were. This guy is a pleasure to have in our defensive secondary; I was holding my breath that he was not seriously injured not only for his sake, but ours too. If he has to miss the regular season, OK. Just get better and be ready to play come Labor Day weekend 2010.
Finally, did you see the man-huge that CMR and Willie shared after the game. They lingered a bit longer than was comfortable for me. If was like the hug Andy and Red shared at the end of Shawshank, only if Red held Andy for an extra beat. It was awesome seeing CMR go over to the band and the student section and salute the fans along with the players. They wanted this win, badly and they got it. AWESOME. Come on Georgia, as Herm Edwards would say, "We can BUILD on this!" 8-4 with a 9th win in the bowl game.....let's do it! Beat Iowa in the Outback. YE-HAW! Good-day Mate!
Paging USC's defense. Paging USC's defense. You are needed in the Coliseum. Stanford's white running back is torching the song girls that stole your jerseys.
Bama beat down Miss State while Florida struggled with SoCar. Tell me why Bama is behind Florida? Oh, the stupid slotting system....that's why.
Last thought on College Football.....Boise State has a big conference game this week with Utah State. Yes you just read that correctly. Boise State's BIG conference game this week is against the Aggies of Utah State. USU is a school that Georgia, Florida, Bama, LSU, etc bring in for the first game of the season as a tuneup. Boise State plays them as a conference game. This about Boise State's level of competition before you try and argue that they should be in the BCS Title game. Even coach Chris Petersen was joking that his team would probably move down after the win over Idaho. WELL YEAH, Idaho is a team that USC and Ohio State bring in over Labor Day and pay $650K so the Trojans and/or Buckeyes can go 1-0 in a laugher. NO KIDDING Boise State might move down. PLAY SOMEONE! You are in a conference of Labor Day weekend opponents!
What a bad loss for the Falcons. Body, DUDE, you guys should NOT have lost that one. The missed FG, the loss of Mike Turner, the two Matty Ice INTS......crap.
