Really believe that all of the young men on the team are going to give an absolute effort. These young warriors (I believe that) are going to maybe play this game like no other they have ever participated in. I have no doubts that the entire defensive front will come to play . . . . every play.
Now . . . . Much is being said about our offensive line . . . . had enough, anyone that thinks that this group won't stand up and play this game, hang on soupy . . . . Will Friend and his group might surprise many with just how good they can play. Anyone that ever played in a football game that had much meaning to it understands that things out of the normal range can happen. Yes, I think that Will Friend was the missing link on the offensive side. Another "high five" to Mark Richt and his selection for a position coach.
Allow me this . . . . any of us that thinks we are not in for a tussle that we have not seen in years, yes years, had better wake up and realize that this is Alabama. At this point they can live on what they have done recently, sadly on that scale, we cannot. We can get there with this game, and I believe.
We have a group of young men that said they wanted to come back, that they did, and now it is in their hands. Their wish was granted. Have heard it said at different places . . . . this is the National Championship Game, think thriller said that, know that thriller said that. Two fine SEC football teams that understand why the SEC has six (6) years running in American Football, carrying the ultimate trophy that belongs to the best team and conference in America. Others want the Crystal . . . . take it away from us. The SOUTH did rise again, 6 times, going on 7.
Closer this old fart gets to kickoff, the butterflies start to mount. I remember playing big games in high school and service football, but never could I start to imagine what these young men are going to do on Saturday in Atlanta.
Buc will be a total f'ing wreck come the first day of December. Know that I ramble a lot, maybe too much, but from tonight (Wednesday 28th) until kickoff, it will be impossible to shut this old fart up.
Guess I used a dimes worth, tired of the two cents at this point. Hell, maybe a quarters worth tomorrow. . . . Time for the pro and con folks on this board to get involved . . . . nothing to say before the game, bet here is that the board will light up with . . . . Pro and Con late Saturday. Me thinks. If you haven't posted here or seldom do, it does not get any better than UGA playing Alabama for the right to kick Notre Dame's butt . . . . AGAIN.
