Now on a more serious note, I wish Tech would have as solid a record as UGA has had over the past ten years. I realize that PJ is benefitting from being the new guy on the block. Our offensive scheme is a great gimmick, but will eventually lose its novelty.

I think UGA fans who whine about Mark Richt are crazy. Better appreciate what you have. Otherwise, you could be like Tech the past ten years.

This just in, Georgia just accepted an invitation to play in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl in Northern Louisiana (Shreveport). As a payout, Georgia will receive $990,000 and 75 free weedwackers, one for every Parks and Recreation Major in the program.

Georgia Tech will play in THEIR conference championship game (sunny Tampa Florida) in hopes of advancing to the BCS Orange Bowl (sunnier Miami Florida). As a payout, Georgia Tech could receive $1,490,000 and 75 free deep sea fishing excursions. Georgia Tech plans to watch georgia’s bowl game on December 28th from its hotel over looking Key Largo.

Look at the Weedwackers falling from the sky!

The difference, no one seems to be addressing, between the supposed retaliation of Spikes being eye-gouged and Spikes eye-gouging Ealey is this;
Spikes was standing up, face to face with his eye gouger and had the ability to defend himself or back away. Ealey was pinned to the ground with a 250 man on top of him with his arms at his side, also pinned down. Ealey could not defend himself as Spikes could.
This is the difference between the two incidences that makes Spikes action that of a coward and bully which we all despise. If the roles were reversed, I would have hoped our Coach would have taken it much more seriously than Coach Myers has.

There is no greater scum than a Gator fan, Gator player or Urban Crier. I called Slive(SLIME) and asked him why he couldn’t get a pair of balls and make the proper call and suspend Kissboy Spikes for a full game. Of course not, since he is a fan of Florida and Alabama since he wants two top ranked teams to meet in Atlanta. We won’t have a good conference(honest officiating and fairness from Slime) until he is gone. It is horrible to see calls being suppressed against these two teams since he has an agenda.

To follow up my last post, maybe Spikes didn’t touch his eyes but the intent sure appeared to be there.

Simple observation–Florida is better than UGA this year, and has had our number for many years, but to say our football program is garbage compared to UF’s is ludicrous, and it shows how short your memories are. UGA ranks third in SEC titles–behind Tennessee and Alabama. Also, we still lead the all-time series against Florida. The margin is rapidly decreasing, but if we’re garbage and have beaten you more than you have beaten us, what does that make you? And, finally, Florida fans are the most obnoxious, insufferable jacka$$es I have ever encountered. Do you know how stupid the “chomp” looks? Do you? Seriously.
