UGA / Bama thoughts....a few days out
Ok had some time to process this.
First and foremost - BAMA WHIPPED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF US.
Nothing should be taken away whatsoever - they were hungry, they had a chip on their shoulder, and they were obviously 10X as prepared as we were. The sheer feat of shutting up a SEC MEGA stadium like that in about 12 minutes is fucking unreal.
1) Based on what I've seen of that team (and what I've read) - that was pretty much as good as it gets for Bama. Nearly a perfect storm. We also witnessed John Parker's CAREER game. That being said, I dont know that further down the line they will be able to deliver a performance like that again. Could be wrong, but I get the feeling that what we saw on Saturday was Bama on full throttle.
1.5) Two plays that if taken back could have changed the whole outcome: Roughing the passer after we recovered the fumble, and that fucking 19 yard kick.
2) Good time to lose if UGA HAD to lose. Perfect losers excuse, but still something to take away from that game - it happened at the right time. Plenty of time to recover.
3) Our "hardest schedule in the NCAAs" just got fucking harder. Weirder things could happen, but the Dawgs are essentially going to have to run the table from here on out to get back to the SEC championship game (and regain any fleeting glimpses of a National Title Game birth). NOW THATS A BITCH! However if we do run said table and win the SEC, a spot in the BCS championship pretty much cant be denied.
4) Injuries. Thanks the good lawd that we are on bye week. Comment if you heard differently, but from what I've read from coach - Ellerbe and Knowshon are question marks for Tennessee. Durham is out several weeks, and Stafford does NOT have a concussion. We were poised to take the bama loss out on PHIL and the ORANGE BITCH next weekend, but a banged up team heading into Knoxville needs to be careful.
5) I dont want to see those black jerseys for another 5 years. ***Although I will still rock my knowshon one for gamedays. May let it sit a few weeks for the Dawgboog.
6) By showing all our glaring problems on Saturday - bama GAVE US A CHANCE (!!!) to rectify. Know what im sayin...
7) If we run into Bama again in Atlanta...I dont think there is any way we lose twice.
8) At halftime of the game me, Ice, SM, and KG took it to the dude room to jam a "positive vibes dance party" to help the dawgs. Songs jammed in order: Walk The Dinosaur, King Of Wishful Thinking, You Dropped The Bomb On Me, 2 Legit 2 Quit. Then we took the boom box out on the back porch and Ice and I danced the entire second half to 2 Legit 2 Quit in hopes our vibes would turn around the Dawgs luck. Called San Fran - and their party had the same dance party going. Locked in. When we ran back that kick to get within 2 scores, we about duked. Ya'll we came close. All I'm saying is 2 Legit 2 Quit needs to be the theme song of the DAWGS this year, FUCK JEEZY!
