Mark Richt Is My Hero

Following up on that last post, I just have to say...

42 - 30, baby!!!

I was trying so hard not to care if we lost this game. But I have to say, I am ecstatic. Despite some refereeing that could have cost Georgia the game- what the heck was with the procedural call near the end of the first half that wiped out a big gain for a first down and made the Dawgs ultimately have to punt? It turned out to be inconsequential, but jeez, that was such a bogus call, among others- my beloved Bulldogs managed to demonstrate that without Tim Tebow at 100%, the Florida Gators are mere mortals.

I think the importance of the bye week can clearly not be overstated here. Everyone has made a big deal about Florida winning the last 15 out of 18, but it's worth mentioning that each time Florida has won, it has had a bye week the week prior. Each time Georgia has won, I believe we have had the bye a week prior. It almost makes me wish the scheduling could be arranged so that neither team (or both) could have byes before, since it clearly makes such a difference. I would like to see how the two teams might match up on more or less equal footing for awhile.

Still, I'll take it. GO DAWGS! SIC EM! WOOF WOOF WOOF!!
