I want to see how the UGA coaching staff, and team, have addressed the many shortcomings of last year's team. We all know what they were, no need of repetition here.... The dawg nation will be taking notes, and if the dawg express gets railroaded, there will be no mercy back in Athens. It will either be "Welcome home winners", or, "Walk the Plank you sorry Dogs."

I wouldn't be surprised to see one team win easily as the other team implodes. Let's face it - If the UGA defense shows up early and forces punts or turnovers, I think the Dawgs will show why depth through sustained recruiting can beat a decent team with a few offensive stars who hopes those few stars elevate everyone to "great." I give OSU a realistic chance to win (I'm scared to death in fact), but I think UGA will have success on offense and win the turnover battle because of their greater athleticism and commitment to forcing turnovers this offseason (4 and 5 star recruits ought to be able to force some turnovers, right?)

Hey Jeff, Kennesaw State students are voting in October on football. Do you think the Owls will ever have a team? If so, I'll have seats on the fifty yard line if you supply the beer.

How many times has that really happened? When you start out with something so obviously inaccurate (AKA asinine) you immediately have zero credibility. Wouldn't it make more sense to blog on the articles about Tech where no one else would read your asinine statements?
