SCarolina

Okay, so despite the fact that the SCarolina Gamecocks do not have a quarterback (at least, not one who can stay out of jail) nor a real running back threat, many people are picking them to make a lot of noise in the SEC East this year. Am I missing something? Do these guys know something that I don't? I mean, sure, both Brinkley boys are back healthy, and they did have the #5 recruiting class two years ago, but really? South Carolina is a threat? Someone fill me in on what I don't know...this is starting to scare me, especially after what happened last year...

A lot of noise, yes, but did these people mention what kind of noise they will be making? A lot of crying and bitching and moaning after they get thrashed by us, as well as most of their opponents.

And the ole ball coach thought it was gonna be so easy.

I to was kind of shocked by all the talk about SC, I hear Corso even picked SC to win the east.

What I am worried about is all the attention we are getting, and I saw this morning where Moshan was picked all american by playboy and will be going on some show with other picks.

Yes we were good at season end, but we were also good as season end in 2006. Look what happened, we beat OK State and then played sorry until the fumble against Vandy. Spurrior for some reason just has our number. I now that it took him 3 years to beat us, but he did it on our turf. He will have these guys so pumped up for unless we have some major upset, we should be ranked 1 or 2 going to Columbia.

On paper, I just can't see their D stoping King, Moshan,Stafford and all the wide receivers we have. It will be a war the first half and we may even be behind, but just can't see with the talent we have to not be able to pull this out with a win.

I just really hope that they took what happen last year to heart and go out and play every games as if it were the championship. We can not afford to play to the level of other teams as we have done in the past. We must come out play hard intense football for all 4 quarters.


Dawgs forever

dapolla, guess this might sound like it is a little off track. However, losing to the Gamecocks last year, also the Volunteers, think that it gives us that added incentive to \"right the ship\". Do not believe this group of athletes want to lose to either of the two schools that really \"woke this squad up\". I would be surprised if we lost to either of the two, again based on last years results.

Know that Spurrier is going to toss the ball all over the field, that is a given with the speed that we have on defense. South Carolina does have a respectable back or two, just do not believe that they can ran on this group of UGA players. Anyone that believes that Spurrier is giving up the play calling totally is barking at the moon. Looks as if he is trying to mimic CMR . . . just a thought.

The talking heads, especially Lee Corso, likes to go out on a limb, makes him look so much better when he \"predicts\" an upset. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching Corso playing his \"role\", but that is what he is paid to do.

With the firepower that this group has, would really hate to be the coach or coaches on the opposing sideline. A lot of the UGA players learned a valuable lesson last year (Tennessee especially) that will not be soon forgotten. If UGA stays relatively healthly this is truly a national contender.

One last note, read today where we had another commitment to the 2009 UGA squad. Think maybe some of the athletes are catching on to the fact that CMR and his group are not going to play the \"wait and see game\". Georgia will beat South Carolina by 12 at least. Go Dawgs.

Thanks guys. That does a lot to assuage my fears. I've still got 10/11 circled on my calendar, Buc.

The big thing to me is that we play the entire season the way we finished last year. If we can do that then there's absolutely no way that anyone can beat us. The only major playmakers we lost on offense were Thomas Brown and Sean Bailey, and from the way Knowshon has performed, the way Caleb King can perform and the way Richard Samuel's looked this spring, I'm not worried about losing Thomas, as great a Georgia back as he was for us. And if Kris Durham's spring translates into a great fall performance and Kenneth Harris continues to improve and MoMass has the stellar senior season that everyone and his brother KNOWS he can have, then I'm not worried about losing Sean, as great a wideout as he was in '05 and '07. I think that this squad can perform and perform and perform, and bring another MNC home to the SEC.
