oledawg where have you been? I have really missed your posts. Let me say right from the start I love the University of Georgia. It's the oldest land grant college in the USA, founded in 1785. I am proud of my two degrees received from this great university. I also love UGA sports, especially Georgia football. I have been thru loseing seasons in the fifties. Our coach at that time was Wally Butts, also known as the \"Bowl Master.\" In the forties we were in a bowl game almost every year, won many SEC championships and one nation championship. We played in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Oil Bowl and even some that do not exist any longer. We hit a dry spell in the fifties, but won the SEC in 1959, ending up in the Orange Bowl. We hit the skids again in the eary sixties, until Sir Vince arrived on the scene. We again had great teams and won SEC championships and a national title. Had troubled times with RG and JD in the mid eighties and nineties. Along come MR toright the ship again. What goes around ,come around again. The Dawg Ship will right itself again, be patient. Love the University as much as you love the football team and a lot of the hurt will pass. To answer another question as to why we play the Gators in Jacksonville each year instead of home and home. Back in the dark ages before interstate highways, when all we had was the old two lane black tops that cris--crossed our state, in order to allow folks from South Georgia to see the Dawgs play Coach Butts started playing all the games in Jacksonville. Also, for a number of years we played Auburn in Columbus, Ga. so our West Georgia fans could see the Dawgs in person. We went home and home when Dooley came aboard. Keep the faith and be patient, the Dawgs will rise again. oledawg don't be a stranger. I hate to be the only \"old fart\" posting on this board.
As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!
