Hiatus

If you couldn't tell, The Deaner and I have been on a bit of a hiatus. Ok, so that's an understatement. I posted as much in the comments of the last post. Thanks to all who have asked what is going on. Go Dawgs!

Highlights/Lowlights...Whatever

I put together a quick video of every score from the game. I didn't feel the need to put a loss to music. At this point I usually say enjoy, but I doubt you will...unless you're a Tech fan. If that's the case, look at yourself. You are such a nerd.

Martinez Isn't Going Anywhere

Richt confirmed what I already believed today.

With some of his assistants, particularly defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, coming under fire from fans, Georgia coach Mark Richt declared Sunday that he expects no changes on his staff for next season.

“I really don’t,” Richt said. “I really don’t.”

But he did say the entire program will be evaluated.

“We’re going to start at the top and go to the bottom, or vice versa,” he said. “Everything we do, we’re going to critique it and be willing to do whatever it takes to get better.

“There are so many areas you could improve, and it’s really not a whole lot different than [after] any other season. … But it might be with even a finer tooth comb than in years past. We just have to be real open and honest in our evaluations of ourselves.”

At least it sounds like the kickoff situation is on the top of Richt's to do list.

We might have to go to Poland or something and find a guy who can kick it out of the end zone. And give him two scholarships.

I Didn't See That Coming

I thought Tech would give us a good game. I thought they'd run the ball well against us. But I was not at all expecting what I saw in Sanford Stadium today. Maybe I should have seen it coming though.

Poor tackling. Poor angles. Drive killing penalties. Horrible kickoffs, kickoff coverage, and kick returns.

The writing has been on the wall all year long. It was just a lot easier to read today.

The thing that hurts the most is to see Massaquoi lose his last game to Tech with the way he played. Maybe we should have put him out there on defense.

AJC Says Dawgs Going Down

Nearly every AJC columnist says the Jackets will win tomorrow. The common theme? Tech wants it more.

Do they really? I know these Tech seniors don't want to graduate having never defeated Georgia. But, Georgia's seniors don't want to be the ones to lose for the first time in eight years.

No predictions here, but it takes more than wanting it to win a game. Bring it Nerds.

Go Dawgs!

Dawg Walk

I've heard some confusion as to when the Dawg Walk is tomorrow. Per Mark Richt's Blog, it's at 10am. Be there to support your Dawgs!

Happy Thanksgiving

Among other things, today I am thankful for...Massaquoi!

My Perspective

Well, it's been an odd season thus far. The Dawgs are 9-2 and just beat Auburn for the third straight year. Yet it just doesn't seem to be enough for most in the Bulldog Nation. And watching this team the past two games, I don't think it's enough for them either.

I guess that's what happens when your pre season expectations are the national championship. I'm not sure how realistic that was even with Sturdivant and Owens, but it was definitely unreallistic without them.

Yet, I'm not ready to start speculating about the future plans of Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford. I'm not ready to start thinking about next year. And you know what, neither is Coach Richt. The following is a quote of Jim From Duluth's Richt Show recap:

Richt senses lots of questions pointing towards the future, and says the future is the Tech game coming up.

Amen. Wreck Tech!

Ajax Update

According to GeorgiaDogs.com, the injuty Albert Jackson sustained was only a sprained ankle. I'm pleasantly surprised by this news. The way he was rolling around on the floor, it looked much worse than a sprain. The release says he'll miss "at least some practice time." Hopefully he's ready to go when the pre season NIT tips off on November 17.
