This Week's Dawg: DAVID GREENE

Once again, as we count down the weeks till kickoff, I'd like to recognize a Dawg, this one named David Greene. Please reply with your best memories of Greenie.

So many people forget about this guy! I watched a \"5 Reasons You Can't Blame...\" thing on ESPNC where they called Matt Leinert \"arguably the best college quarterback in history.\" Really? David Greene = 42-10 as a starter, the winningest quarterback in D-1A history, including going 3-of-4 in bowl games (losing only to Boston College his freshman year), a Sugar Bowl victory, an SEC Championship and two Eastern Division titles. Oh, and the longest pass-attempts-without-an-interception streak in SEC history. Oh, and he shattered every Georgia QB record. Oh, and he led more 4th-quarter comeback drives than you can shake a stick at. P-40 Haynes against Tennessee in '01, 70-X Takeoff against Auburn in '02, the pass to Gibson against 'Bama in '02, and the list goes on.

What I remember David Greene for the most was actually his last game at home for Georgia, against Tech in '04. It was a MISERABLE day, freezing cold (I literally almost lost a toe, wearing stupid shoes in freezing rain) and even though we were up 16-0 at halftime, Greenie broke his thumb and went out of the game. Our defense started to give up, and Tech made it 16-13 by the fourth quarter. DJ -- bless him, he could murder Tennessee at will but he could never do jack against Tech -- was doing nothing. Greenie comes in WITH A BROKEN FREAKING THUMB and leads what would end up being the game-winning field goal drive for Georgia (Couto made an INCREDIBLE kick that drive to put us up 19-13, by the way).

So what are your fondest memories of David Greene?

UGA vs Vanderbilt 2002

Greene to Edwards play action. Prettiest play action pass I've ever seen.

Obviously the come from behind win at UT, but what I remember the most about DG was his leadership, character and his faith.

Simply.....

I love David Greene in a non-gay sort of way.

kentdaddy, please tell us all that you will continue to post on this forum......your comments are priceless and crack me up !!

wlayton,

I am here to stay unless the \"Man\" takes issue with my un-natural affinity and knowledge of M*A*S*H including the Alda years.

These are my people..............

I feel the warmth that can only be genereted by a common love of all things UGA and reinforced by the perfectly rational hatred of anything orange.
