Number Thirteen Baby

To quote The Pixies, we're No. 13, Baby!

\"Number 13? Shouldn't we be ranked higher, dapolla? Isn't this an insult?\"

We were ranked 13th in the nation at the start of both the 2002 and the 2005 seasons. Anyone remember what happened those years? Anyone?

I would have liked 16, honestly, as we'd be even further under the radar, and we'd match both Auburn's preseason ranking in 2004 and our preseason ranking in 1980. But we can't have EVERYTHING we want. GO DAWGS!!! Prove it's lucky #13!!!

I'm happy with 13 on the coaches poll. Still under the radar but not to far away to catch up even if we lost one game in the process.

Interesting read from David Hale today dapolla. Those that have not read the article today, would recommend it.

Dave Van Halanger on the atmosphere in the weight room...
\"I've been around a lot of championship teams, and what you see different is the chemistry and morale. It's a special feeling, and you really know this is a special team. This team has all the attributes. I know every game our kids are going to fight their guts out. I believe that with all my heart. If we have the talent, Georgia will be real, real good.\"

Van Halanger on morale in the weight room...
\"The chemistry is good, the morale is very good. They enjoy each other. They're a together team. They believe in each other. They believe in their leaders. This is a selfless team. They just want to win. They want to get it done, and they don't care who gets credit. This team has those intangibles. Now, do we have enough talent?\"

HOLD THE PRESSES....HOLD THE PRESSES. CFN is raining on our flying-under-the-radar parade.....

I feel good about this team.
