Spread the field and pass/run. I pray the weather moves on and it is dry and calm so AM can throw the ball because we won't run it down their throats like last year......again, just my opinion.

Just very difficult to throw the ball in wind/rain. UF won't care, their game plan won't change a bit....run, run, run with a few short throws.

I will slow the speed down on both sides of the ball. Advantage UGA. It gives our O line an advantage against the D front of the gaytors. It will slow the speed of RB's down on both sides of the ball. Advantage UGA. AM is the better QB regardless of the weather. Advantage UGA.

You're right. I wish we were running a 4-3. Somehow that 3-4 thingy just isn't working out as well as envisioned. This is the "run first, run best" SEC.

I came back to this site this morning to get a glimpse at what the enemy’s fans think about the upcoming game. It’s the kind of thing we all do when we are nervous. The week leading up to the Cocktail Party is always stressful for me and I am not as confident in the Gators inevitable domination of your beloved Dawgs. On paper? Sure. But this is a rivalry and anything can happen. A we all know the weather can be the great equalizer. I am surprised so many of you foresee such pending doom.
I am most surprised about the attitude towards a 6-1 team. Yes, the loss to the Cocks was ugly but hey it happens to the best of them. My Gators were BLOWN OUT by Nebraska in the championship game after going undefeated in ’95 and putting up tons of points all season. It happens.
Yes, some of the Dawgs victories seemed way too difficult than they should have. ’06 Gators were the same way and won the Championship. Now if the Gators stomp the Dawgs tomorrow then I’ll see your point but rest assured, if the Dawgs win, I can guarantee there will be a total flip-flop on this forum come Monday.
Good luck and may the deserving team win. I mean that.

You obviously missed the UGA/USCe game.

Maybe in a monsoon.

Hey, no problem....we will just agree to disagree, nothing unusual.

Hey, maybe the rest of the forum can chime in on who has the advantage with bad weather....rain and wind.

Good to hear from you, gatorinGa. However, I can just about guarantee you there will not be a flip-flop on this forum. Like most outsiders, you seem to think this attitude is all because of the USCe game. It is not, it is from years of underachieving under richt.
A victory over your kind would make alot of us very happy, but it won't do much to change the fact that richt lucked up and beat an over rated FU team, and accidentally backed into another SEC east championship, only to get blown out in the big game again.

It KNOCKED the rose colored glasses off our collective heads with an axe handle. Is it even POSSIBLE that the coaches don't know how fans feel right now?)

It's not even about not showing up for that one game.

It's about not showing up for SC this year. It's about not showing up for Boise last year.
It's about not showing up for UCF. It's about Spurrier owning MR. It's about seeing the SEC winning the BCS title 8 times since 99 and having not one of those times being UGA.
It's about the decisions our coaching staff made last year against Mich State..
It's about running onto the field and celebrating like a bunch of never been there ass-clown D-1AA FCS school athletes might do when they upset a D-1 school all because
we scored on Florida.
It's about a leader who never admits he or his staff is ever at fault for anything..

I could go on and on listing what it's about, and I can guarantee anyone it's not about
1, 2, or even 3 things... it's about a LOT of things.

Can I get another AMEN !

Face it, UGA is at best about the 25-30 best college team in the country.
Top 10 recruits = Top 30 team

No wonder why so many top GA recruits are signing outside of the state and we are losing current commitments.
