Pain.........intense PAIN

Just watched the ESPN 2005 UGA/AU game. I kept telling myself.....\"just watch it until the 4th down fiasco and turn it off before they complete that pass for the 1st down\". Couldn't do it.....watched it ALL. Pain is all I could feel. So then I kept telling myself...\"that's ok, we won the SEC, that's all that counts\".
Nooooooo........there's STILL much PAIN. We gave that game away.
BTW, remember Oliver punching the ball out of the Auburn's WR hand at the 3 yard line that went into the end zone where AU recovered for a supposed TD on that 4th and 11 play? Then they brought back out to the 3 because you can't fumble the ball FORWARD on a 4th down play. If WE recover that fumble....game over. Anyway, WHAT a great heads up play by Oliver.
You know guys,PAIN never leaves you when the Dawgs lose, whether it's a live game or on tape.

walyton, one of the hardest things for me to do is watch a rerun of a UGA loss. Don't seem to have that problem when we win.
Quick question for you . . . what do you make of the talk between our AD and HC? Don't really know how much of an issue it is, but there seems to be some talking going on.

Ok, that's what I thought you might be referring to.
To me it's a \"catch-22\". You need a couple of strong non-conference games for your strength of schedule but you also don't need to get carried away and let it backfire on you as it seems that it has for us. Balance is a good thing. HEY, we are UGA!!!.....schedule some tough non-conference games BUT let them come to our HOUSE.
One word for UF's non-conference strength of schedule.......pathetic!! But what else would you expect from Foley and UM??????

I guess they expect there 3rd National Championship in 4 years. There non conference schedule isnt tops in the country, heck its even probably bottom of the country. But if the SEC is what we claim it is, a grind every week, then whats the point of making it harder than it has to be. If Ok St or GT were in the SEC, and had to grind it out every week, then we wouldnt think they were hard schools to play. The ACC and the Big 12 are weaker conferences so they need to play harder schools to boost there strength of schedule. SEC schools dont need to make it any harder on themselves. But when they schedule there own games they dont need to whine about there schedule and bash other teams for being smarter.

Scheduling weak opponents can also backfire on you. Just ask Donovan (oh and Foley), if he had a stronger non-conference schedule they would have made the Big Dance this year.
BTW, if you read the article, CMR isn't \"whining\" (as you say) about WHO they are playing but that it's just very tough and wearing on you from the travel standpoint.

Im not saaying that CMR is a whiner, he is one of the classiest coaches out there. But I see Dawg fans on a daily basis that do nothing but complain about how hard there schedule is. Everbody gets it, its a tough schedule, but its done now so its time to see what the team is made of. As far as Florida basketball is concerned if they had handled there business and won they SEC they would have no complaints, so I blame that on being under talented and being out coached, not there schedule.

NCAA golf and tennis underway at UGA, softball on Friday
ATHENS — I’m over here in the press box at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex watching the No. 6-seeded Georgia women take on 11th-seeded Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tennis Championships. The Lady Bulldogs won the doubles point, so it’s 1-0 and Georgia is up a set at all six singles positions.
Georgia Tech’s women’s team played earlier today and lost to No. 9 California 4-0. That ends the Yellow Jackets’ season at 16-12. The men get underway tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I’ll take this opportunity to catch you up on some other news happening in and around Athens and UGA...

UGA golfers hopes to ride wave of good karma through NCAA regionals
ATHENS — The NCAA Men’s Golf Regional at the UGA Golf Course is underway today and the Bulldogs are feeling good about advancing to the NCAA Championships.
And why shouldn’t they? There has been a lot of good karma oozing out of the Bulldogs’ clubhouse at the Boyd Golf Center here lately.
University of Georgia golfers or alums have been winning tournaments all over the place for the past year or so, including those played right there off their back porch. Two weeks ago Hudson Swafford holed a bunker shot on the 72nd hole and shot a final-round 62 to...

Florida influence apparent in managment style of UGA’s Greg McGarity
ATHENS – There are some nervous coaches around Georgia’s athletic department these days. That tends to happen when the coach of perennial top 10 program abruptly resigns the week after finishing 11th.
Georgia gymnastics coach Jay Clark offered his resignation shortly after meeting with UGA athletic director Greg McGarity on May 4 and it served as an overture to his staff. Clark had two years remaining on a five-year contract he signed when he succeeded ultra-successful head coach Suzanne Yoculan in 2009.
The Gym Dogs weren’t awful under Clark, not by a long stretch. But they fell well short of the standards...

No. 2 seed Georgia ready again to rock NCAA tennis championships
ATHENS — For a little while there, the horrifying thought of not being able to play in the NCAA Championships while hosting them entered the minds of the Georgia Bulldogs on Sunday. But just as quickly, the No. 3-ranked and No. 2-seeded Bulldogs put that notion to rest and steamrolled Florida State in singles to advance to this week’s Round of 16.
Georgia (25-2) lost the doubles point in its second-round match against Florida State on Sunday afternoon. But in the matter of an hour it was clear the Bulldogs weren’t in mid-stumble toward a face plant. The Bulldogs quickly regained...
