Bulldogs - seriously, is that the best you can do, Georgia? That is THE most common mascot in Division I sports. Hell, Mississippi State has the same damn one and they're in our conference! Dammit, Georgia, get your shit together! [/TD]

Georgia is 6-1, with its only loss being a 35-7 drubbing by South Carolina. Florida is 7-0, having just beaten the Gamecocks 44-11 in Gainesville. As usual, the pre-season hype said that Georgia was a world-beater but when the games were actually played, the Dawgs have failed to impress. It took an career-best performance by quarterback Aaron Murray to beat Kentucky last week, for fuck's sake!

Analysis

Look, if you don't know what's what by this point in the season, I can't help you, but I'll try to sum up. The Gators have a great defense and an unproductive offense (that somehow manages not to fuck up too bad). Georgia's defense is not so hot and its offense is fair-to-middlin'. On special teams, the Gators clearly dominate, with an outstanding punter and place-kicker.

Of course, there are some intangibles: it's a rivalry game. Also, Coach Muschamp has never been on the winning side in this game - as a player (for Georgia? SRSLY?) he was 0-4, and he lost his only game against the Dawgs as a coach last year.

Prediction

Fuck Georgia!

Fuck birthday parties. I will be missing the second half tomorrow to take the wife and kids to Pump It Up, the bouncy castle place, for a birthday party. Why do we celebrate something so commonplace? I mean, everyone was born. No getting around it. It doesn't make you freakin' special.

[slideman67]

Why are Georgia's Colors red and black? It matches their necks and fingernails.

Why does the St John's River flow north? Because Georgia sucks!

What has 32 teeth and yells really loud? The front row of Georgis stadium!

[quote=g8rman95]Way to piss on Doc's big day![/QUOTE]

Sorry, I didn't put two and two together. I was just thinking about birthday parties on football Saturdays. All other birthdays are ok.

[DocZaius]

LOL. My mother in law's birthday is Saturday and we are having a party for her and me at my house. My parents and my aunt from Germany are also visiting so it should be fun.


There will be football. It's my birthday party and my house. Bitches.

[DocZaius]

We are stinking it up.

[slideman67]

Well this sucks!

[DocZaius]

Double-fuck Georgia.

I'm not too upset, except with the fact that this loss was to Georgia. I mean, I figured our string of victories would come to an end sooner or later.

The bottom line is that we're not the kind of team that can recover from the mistakes we made on Saturday - I don't know how we caught this fumble-itis, but we had a bad case of it. Georgia was fired up and brought their "A" game, possibly for the first time this season. We didn't have it in us, for whatever reason.

The rest of the season will still be promising. We will win at least 3 of the next four games - and we are capable of beating the fourth, F$U. I'm not going to be upset with an 11-1 or 10-2 regular season. We could even get into a BCS bowl, a prospect that was unthinkable a few months ago.

All that being said, we were three fucking yards from scoring god damnit. We were right there. 2pt conversion and we might take that game in OT. FUCK! Why did it have to be UGA? I really wanted to go to Atlanta, get fleeced by Bama and then go to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. I would have taken a loss at FSU, I'm not going there so I can handle that. FUCK!

I agree with Doc - given where we started, I would be OK with 11-1 or 10-2. Strangely enough, we are still #2 in the BCS. WTF?

[DocZaius]

Have they released the new BCS numbers yet?

EDIT: we're down to number 7 in the BCS - http://espn.go.com/college-football/bcs
