MUNSON: The legend continues...

I hope everyone got to hear Munson's call from the Tech game...this year's was an instant classic. The man sounded 20 years younger and in rare form. If you want to hear the final 26 minutes of the game, you absolutely must click here. If you were wondering whether Loran or Larry would expire first, Munson gives you the play-by-play.

Six in a Row: Fear the Big Toe!

Six in a row...that's one hand and Tony Taylor's size 13 instep planted ankle-deep into Tech's Season of Dreams. That was one awesome clean-and-jerk he performed on that fumble recovery.

What a game, what a game! The TECH fans at church (the ones who showed up) were mighty quiet and reflective this morning.

Munson sounded 20 years younger and was in classic form, especially at the end.

CMR promoted Bobo to handle offensive play-calling. I guess CMR does go blogging every now and then....(yeah, right. I'm sure he's taking my advice now). Just in case you are checking the blog today: C0ach, please limit runs from the shotgun to trash time at G-Day.

Finally, Reggie Ball was named Georgia's Offensive Player of the Game. Thanks for all the great memories these past four years! We'll miss you! Chan Gailey for Coach of the Year!

I quote from Ben D's pre-Tech email:

...But in this season of uncertainty in Athens, one thing will always remain. We will still beat the Bumblebees.

As long as Reggie Ball is healthy, we will beat Tech. As long as Reggie Ball stays healthy, Calvin Johnson will be a non-factor in his last regular season collegiate game of his career. As long as Reggie Ball is healthy, Chan Gailey will be on a hot seat. And as long as Reggie Ball is healthy- Tech is destined to lose.

My friends, that was a stone cold lead pipe lock. Nice call, Ben!

Quote of the Week: (from Cory McCartney's CNNSI column this AM):


"He was kicking and shoving people. He's 0-4 against Georgia, so you can't really blame him. I might be kicking and shoving guys too if that was my record against them."

--Georgia defensive tackle Ray Gant on Georgia Tech quarterback Reggie Ball, who was picked off with a minute remaining to endure his fourth loss to the in-state rival, 15-12.

WILL IT HAPPEN? CAN IT HAPPEN 2 WEEKS IN A ROW?

We need this one bad.

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

Who knew Lee Harvey Oswald liked the War Kitties?

I feel like Brad...don't know whether to be happy or angry that the Dawgs finally put a complete game together. Personally, I am going to choose to be.....HAPPY. It's not every day we beat a top five team on their turf. If we lose to TECH, 7-0 over UNC---that Tech, then I will choose to be angry.

But, in keeping with my mantra to bring a suggested solution to potential problems, here's what the Dawgies need to do when the Bees come callin':

1) Bring the pressure against Reggie Ball. If you think Patrick Cox looked shaky under pressure, expect at least six picks if we can get our paws on Ball early and often. Give him time, a la our performance against UT's Ainge, and we'll have another Heisman candidate on our hands. Make Ball beat us. In other words, make Ball work for us.

2) Really, that's it. Use the same tub of Stickum our WRs used against Auburn, GATA, and keep these two stats in mind:

Kregg Lumpkin 21 carries, 105 yards, 5.0 avg

Danny Ware 8 carries, 20 yards, 2.5 avg.

As one H. Walker once said, "The ball ain't heavy."

While I thought during the game that we finally were going to predominately use "Krigg" at tailback because of his better production vs. Ware over the past few games, I later found out that Ware was injured, thus eliminating our fetish ability to platoon. I hate it when guys get hurt, but Ware probably would've had more carries if he were healthy. Anyway, I hope he heals quickly.

Southerland is the Man.

I am licking my chops because I've got two whole weeks to Hate Tech Now.

Buzzzzzzzzzz buzzz buzz.

RETIREMENT HOME ABUSE IN OPELIKA,AL

This is a true story, related to me by my Uncle Kermit in B'ham:

Back at the beginning of the season, I mentioned an emerging story of retirement home abuse in Opelika, right up I-85 from Auburn. It was reported to this blog that the elderly mother of a Bulldog alum recently sold her home in southwest Georgia and moved to a nice facility to be closer to her family over in Birmingham.

All seemed to be well for the first few weeks, then the son got a disturbing phone call from his mom: "Son, we have got to beat those bastards this year!"

Now Worried Son: "What do you mean, Mom? Are they treating you well? Tell me what's going on!"

Mom: "It's all these Auburn fans that live in this place. They are some of the most obnoxious, worst people I have ever been around! Georgia has GOT to beat Auburn this year!"

Open letter to CMR and the rest of the Bulldog crew headed to the Lovliest Village:

Dear Georgia Football:

Please, for the love of Pete, if for no other reason than to save our season, beat those bastards for all the little old Georgia Bulldog ladies in their golden years stuck watching football with a bunch of obnoxious Auburn invalids.

Love,

The Blog

Rock Bottom?

Not yet...though I can hear the hull scraping pretty loudly. We'll know what rock bottom truly is if things don't go well the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

One interesting note from Saturday's debacle against KY: Many Kentucky fans were arrested on the field after the game for carrying scissors to the end zone. It is believed they were looking for a net to cut down, and in the confusion only had time to tear down one set of goal posts.

It is embarrassing to lose to a basketball school in a high school stadium that half their fans mistake for Rupp Arena on the day most of them cared more about the Breeder's Cup.

Trivia Question: When Kregg averages over 8 yards a carry in the first half, and over six for the game, why in the world does he only get 2 carries in the second half?

Answer: Because we have an offensive coterminator instead of an offensive coordinator. Promote Bobo Now!
