Oh Lordy... are we 100% sure that's not a NCAA violation on page 1076 paragraph 3 ,line 2 of the guidebook?????


Neyland is a rocking place... I've been up there about 6 times with those 105K nuts wearing their prisoner orange
singing that stupid song.


Funny thing though... they seem to get quiet when they go down by 14 points.


"Rocky Top" fun facts by Warthawg

It's tempo is catchy and fast, but the song is actually a lament... probably towards having to live in Tennessee...
no one is quite sure.

In the song's opening verse, the singer longs for a place called Rocky Top where there are no telephone bills which actually describes 80% of the state of Tennessee which has no telephone service. Nice.

The singer remembers a love affair he once had on Rocky Top with a woman that was "wild as a mink" as his memory has it... probably because she had the face of one.

The song's second verse brings up a story about two strangers climbing Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still, but they never returned. They were most probably revenuers, and gods only know what happened to those poor fellows.
Remember this if you ever wander off a road up there.

In the third and thankfully final verse (which consists of just four total lines..it's an attention span thing), the singer again longs for the simple life where them revenuers needed killing is acceptable, likening life in Knoxville to being "trapped like a duck in a pen."... which if you've ever driven up there.. is pretty apropros. A point you will soon discover when you try and leave.

I think we'll be okay if we can just take it one game at a time and continue to get better with each game. So far, so good... GO DAWGS!!!!!!GATA

growl, this is the way that I am looking at this game.

There is no way that this years team will go to Knoxville and not be prepared. Too much "stuff" has happened with the group of coaches that will be facing each other on Saturday.

Tennessee comes up with new "uniforms". Jones realizes that his coaches were once coaching in Athens. He is going to try everything to get his program back on the road, out of the ditch.

What does it say for Georgia to be back in pads and slapping each other around for a couple of hours, especially coming off of a hard hitting game against LSU.

Says to me that Mark Richt is letting his team, coaches and players know that he is not going to put up with half a$$ play. No way Richt wants the coaches he fired come back and beat him. Yes, he has those feelings also.

Hell, heard Mark Richt in an interview "nationally" after the LSU game use the word "hell". Our head coach has his "juices" flowing. Some of the change that I know I have seen, especially the last couple of years.

Coaches that could not quite make it with Georgia are now coaches at Tennessee.

John Jancek - Defensive Coordinator

Willie Martinez -- Asst. Head Coach - Defense /Defensive Backs Coach

Believe in my heart that you are right Buc, and, if these "kids" grow up ,like we feel they will, this is the week to show it. This game could be the one to turn the corner and rid ourselves of the "cant win the big one" bugaboo forever. For whatever anyone believes, any game against the vols is big and can be a huge lift for us. GO DAWGS!!!!!! GATA

Too dang funny, WD.....had to post a thanks for your analogy.

I used to run with a crowd that was 5 UGA guys and 5 UT guys. We gave each other a rash of you know what
constantly, so it's old hat for me to make fun of UT.

They got the tickets for us when the game was up there and we had to provide for them when the game was
here. Good guys actually...ya know... despite their handicap.

Amazing what winning a game like the one with LSU can accomplish. Doubters start to believe, players seem to ramp it up. Coaches are brought to tears. National media begins to think we are for real. Enjoyed reading the link below, knowing some here have read what Marc Weiszer had to say.
