Two Simple reasons we beat Boise State by 14

Based on the "contrarian theory" (which we use as one of our tools to base our business investment decisions on.....and it works......every time), the game is therefore a LOCK for us to win.



(ok, ok, investing based on public sentiment is a little different than college football but just sayin'......or hoping? )

As much as some of you think I'm over confident, I can assure you that I'm not. And yes, the nose tackle is something to be worried about, among sundry other things.

As far as the team being over confident, I doubt it. Petersen hasn't had the success he's had without being able to make sure his team isn't complacent. As I've said before, they just need to show what happened the last time we met, and maybe show what happened to Hawaii as well. Wouldn't that keep you humble? It would me.

I am confident we can win, not that we will win. I'm sure you can see the difference.

We've been told more than a few times that we can't beat teams because they are bigger, faster, stronger. And we were beat by UCLA, Washington, Arkansas, Georgia, and a few others. We've taken our lumps. But, in the last three years we've gotten bigger, faster, and stronger ourselves. Not that we totally match up, but we can hold our own.

Since the Oklahoma miracle (hey, we were lucky...what can I say), we've been able to attract better athletes. We've even made in roads into Texas. Combine better recruits with a great coach, and a rare QB like Moore, and you might be able to see where I have the gall to believe we can beat a team from the mighty SEC.

That's objective enough for me.

You certainly "can" win the game.

seevee, a follow up on your post.

Recent posts from you (I understand internet warfare) did not look to be humble. I totally understand your humble statement. Humble pie is hard for some to swallow.

A degree in internet warfare . . . . I can and most on this board can see the difference. You really don't have to talk down to us Southern Boys, we do take offense to that. Slight and backhanded remarks are not welcomed here.

Not a real problem with that paragraph other than the Boise State schedule. That is the lump in the gravy. (That is Southern)

What happened in Oklahoma was not a miracle, even though when fighting internet wars I might refer to it that way. Scooter, that was a ballsy call by your head coach. We have had a few problems in that area that will either be corrected THIS YEAR, or we will find another way to uphold the tradition of a university that not unlike your university, wants to win, AGAINST ALL COMPETITION, regardless of where the competition comes from. As far as the Mighty SEC as you refer to our conference, you finally got that one right.

UGA wins this game by 14 points.

I can't blame Seevee for his pov, he believes in his team in exactly the same way we believe in the Dawgs.
In years past I've gotten my knickers in a twist over all the unlove from the media outlets. It seems we're counted out every year, regardless of what pans out. This year is no different, but I'm actually relishing it now. Another poster here nailed it when he said [sic] that being in the underdog role is actually good for us. I don't expect that role to last past week 2, honestly. I hope BS drink their Koolaid and believe all the hype pitched around by ESPN (an outlet known to get erect from either a blue/orange uniform combination or the sight of a mullet). This year, I want them dissing the Dawgs because Crow(ell) is going to taste all the more bitter when it gets shoved down their throats.
There's no doubt that BS is a quality team, but this isn't last year's Dawgs and our attitude seems to be right where it ought to have been last year. We win this one, kids. But we will get no love in the process.

You're right, LimeyDawg. This is another "no win" for us. If we win big, everyone will talk about how overrated BSU is. If we win and it's close, then they'll say we barely beat a weak team. If we lose, BSU has finally made it to the "big time", and UGAs downfall will continue. If we lose big, then BSU is national champs and there IS no UGA anymore. Win or lose, we lose. The South Carolina game is the big game. The world hates UGA.


And I wouldn't have it any other way.
