The question is how many TDs can the to-this-point-in-the-season highly ineffective TN offense score on Georgia? One?  Five?  Seriously, if you are a Georgia fan you don’t REALLY know.

This post is going to be a complete ramble as I, like many other hardcore Georgia fans, have yet to come back from behind the woodshed that Bama took us to.  You don’t see many like that with two SEC teams like GA and Bama facing off but someone forgot to tell Bama that the Black Jerseys meant we were just supposed to show up and automatically win that game.  I mean the jerseys are magic right?  If you spend a week THINKING about and TALKING about THE COLOR OF YOUR JERSEY it has to be so hardcore that NO TEAM in the nation could come into your house and beat you like a red-headed stepchild right?

yeah, I’m not over it…. and won’t be until Georgia beats every other team this year… or until they play next year.

Georgia went into Tuscaloosa last year and beat Bama in OT on their first play (ONE AND DONE BABY!!) and they thought Bama would completely forget about it and just come in and play second-rate SEC football in Saban’s second season?  I don’t get paid to understand such things but I could have told ya that Bama has had that game circled on their calendar since that night in Tuscaloosa.. and it showed.

If you ask me the Saban/animal cruelty jokes were deserved… and FITTING cause they were true.

On other notes…

Can someone help me understand how the end-of-days are not near when TN is the Vandy, Vandy is Florida and Florida is Alabama.. and Alabama will beat them all?

That is all I got and I don’t and can’t pretend to understand.  Hopefully some sanity will return to the SEC, except for florida… I hope they stay Vandy personally.

Jeff Owens.

I still remember reading about this big-time recruit out of South Florida who was passing up Miami (among many others) to come and play for UGA.  I still remember frequenting a popular Dawg site to check the status of how he was doing in camp.  I still remember him playing as a freshman and not just playing but kicking some serious ass (looking at you JaMarcus Russell) along the way…. 13 games as a true freshman, Freshman All-America team, Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2005… the list goes on.

I remember being in downtown Athens only a few months ago and hoping to run into a Dawg or two.  Maybe we would see Stafford or even Knowshon we thought.  It was even better.  We just happened to run into that bad SOB defensive tackle that I have been one heckuva fan of since he stepped foot on campus.  The picture we took was posted on this site and I was pretty dern stoked.  It was fitting.

What wasn’t “fitting” was Jeff going down in the first game of his senior season.  As he sat there on the sideline below where we were sitting I could not take my attention off of him.  For a bit I could not watch the game because all I could think about was the blood and sweat that man had poured out for Georgia.  …and there he sat, possibly knowing/not knowing the fate of his senior season.  I would like to share a few quotes from Jeff following the injury.

“You’ve always got to face adversity to be the best, and this is my first true big test of adversity here at Georgia.”

“The storm is going to be over. I’ve just got to weather the storm.”

In my opinion, these words say a lot about Jeff Owens.

We are gonna miss you on that line man, we are going to miss you bad.  I am not speaking from a falloff in production perspective but from a damn-you-should-be-in-those-trenches-this-season perspective.  From what I hear Jeff isn’t the quietest of guys and I am sure he will be in the ears and minds of his fellow teammates throughout the season.  I know he will be in the hearts and minds of us fans.  We are praying for ya Jeff and wish you a speedy recovery.

Since the day you became a Dawg, you have always been a damn good one!

GO DAWGS!!!
