Bulldog Bites: 10-win season ‘isn’t good enough’
A few items of interest as we head into the holiday. …
I like this quote from Prince Miller on Georgiadogs.com. Asked if the underdog role given to UGA is the main reason everyone’s working harder this offseason, Miller says: “That is a reason, but I think guys are starting to realize that a 10-win season isn’t good enough anymore. We all want to win SEC and national championships.” …
Jeff Dantzler has a couple of nifty factoids on the Bulldawg Illustrated blog: Georgia is the first SEC school since the inception of the 12-game regular season schedule to face three BCS conference opponents in one year. And the early line out of Las Vegas has UGA a 3.5 point underdog at Oklahoma State. …
UGA recorded the second-highest number of SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll recipients among the 12 league schools. Georgia had 99 honorees on the list, which is based on grades from the 2008 Summer and Fall and 2009 Spring terms. The breakdown: Equestrian (30), women’s track (22), men’s track (19), baseball (seven), men’s golf (six), softball (six), women’s golf (four), men’s tennis (three), women’s tennis (2). South Carolina was tops in the spring with 114 on the list and Alabama was third with 90.
A contribution of a minimum of $150 per seat to the Georgia Bulldog Club’s Basketball Enhancement Fund gets you renewable season tickets among the priority seating in Stegeman Coliseum. If you’re interested, the donation deadline for this year is Aug. 15. For more information, contact the Georgia Bulldog Club toll-free at 1-877-GADAWGS or e-mail gadawgs@sports.uga.edu. One request, though. If you’re going to buy basketball season tickets, please show up for the games or give your tickets to someone who will! The many empty seats courtside at Bulldogs games can’t do much for team morale.
Have a great Independence Day weekend!

A ten win season is not good enough anymore. What would Vince say about that?
At least 12 teams want to win the SECC.
I believe the number is 119 want to win the MNC.
I just want to win in JAX.

U can’t beat floriduh and U can’t beat Paul Johnson….so how are you going to get past 10??
It’s just as well because you don’t have any players that can count past 10 anyway.
45-42…just the beginning.

Here we go again, The Techies beat their wings off after a 3 point victory, and a decent season. Congrats for ending the drought but I guess you think the Big Dawg wont come back for a fight. Good luck in the future. Georgia has moved on from the most injury riiddled season EVER and is recruiting some serious talent for the next few years. Wish we could bet every thing we own that you dont go 50/ 50 with Ga over the next ten years. Talk now like you guys do every yr. What a joke of a bunch of fans. And I though Tennessee was bad…
Agreed on one front...

No doubt we can’t seem to beat Florida. The other is too funny though. I mean, did you watch the game? Really? I’ll admit when we get beat. Definitely got beat by UF and by Bama. But sorry, the other loss was blatant self-destruction. Any sane person can see that. It matters not now. Enjoy your “45-42″ posts for 4 more months…
The thing is though, a Dawg victory this year, and you won’t hear much. Beating Tech…its such the standard. We strive to play for SEC championships and compete at a national level. You strive to beat your in-state rival once every 8 years. Live with that….

I’m sick of hearin all this 45-42 stuff. Come on now, I know yall are smart enough to realize that stats don’t lie. Enjoy talkin trash on your macs sippin on your starbucks coffee.. In Athens, we play ball. Bring your chicken head offense to the SEC and see how many injured players you have before the end of the year.

Bill–
Last year the Dawgs were suppose to fear and get beat at Arizona State. We won convincingly. So, someone explain to me how/why UGA is expected to get beat at Ok State? I say, IF we can put together an offense (which will be the question-mark all season long perhaps) and IF the defense has solved it’s woes (but with Soft Willie you just never know) I don’t see Ok State being a problem.

The dawgs beat chan gomer gailey 6 times in a row (and probably would have beaten him a hundred times in a row if he had been allowed to say any longer).
However, the last 5 times that the dawgs played Tech with a coach not named chan gomer gailey, Tech has won 4 out of 5. I repeat, 4 out of 5.
Now, I realize that you dawgs are STUPID…but you have to know that playing Paul Johnson is a helle of a lot different than playing chan gomer gailey. If you really are too stupid to realize that, it WILL eventually sink in.
45-42…just the beginning.

Hey you jealous Georgia boys. Don’t you like it when I open my mouth and spew forth my inane comments grounded in low self esteem and self loathing from being a loser most of my life. It just sucks the life out of you when I say 45 to 42. And how do you like my leap of logic… Coach Paul beat you the first time so that means he’ll beat you every time. Learned that in calculus.

True to the fact of “requiring” to win in Jax. That game alone, it seems, is the path to 10+ wins.

Nobody scared of GT, the whole thing was appealed and Tech won the appeal….the wins remain. UGA has been on an amazing run for a while with these ten win seasons…it’s reasonable that there is concern that they can’t get passed UF. With the parody closing the gap, it’s going to be tougher than ever! UGA is going to have to have a lot of things go their way to win the sec, much less the National Championship! Time will tell….

Tech fan here…honestly, some people on both sides of the rivalry are embarrassing…don’t judge all Jacket fans by a few blowhards who are bold when they are behind their computers…anyway, I predict the Dogs will be 9-2 when y’all come to the Flats…so whether you win 10 games (in the regular season) will be up to GT, won’t it? see you in November…

Muttland should have to vacate any victories obtained during the Reign of Remedial Education of the 1980s, even before. But I guess there is indeed always work in the post office.

m….the last THREE times that UGA played GT and Tech’s starting QB had a last name that started with a “W”, and the current UGA mascot was in his first 5 years on the job, the Dogs won 51-7, 31-17 and 24-3!
So THERE! Take THAT!

The Dawgs have no possibility of winning 10 games this year. The reality is 8 wins would be good. As far as the high number of academic successes, it would mean something, if the school had any academic standards.

Bottom line is Georgia consistently wastes more talent than any other D-1 school. It doesn’t matter who you loose to or who you beat the DAWGS will never be on top when the season ends. Deal with it RED NECKS ! UF

Bill what did your brother say – “Why can’t we all get along?”
I will be happy if the Urban establishes a average of 10 wins a 12 game regular seasons in the SEC, because we will win our share of SEC Championships with a few National Championships thrown in. If you really aren’t satisfied unless your team averages 11 or 12 wins every year you need to move to MJ’s “Neverland”! Due to player turnover after a great year, it ain’t happening, especially in the SEC and especially with the NCAA uneven enforcement of rules between conferences.

For all those who are upset with the silly bickering and the Tech people on this blog, and the UGA people on the Tech blog and the silly names, the silly posts and the apparent lack of proper censorship…its this easy….DEMAND accountability, and REGISTERING of Screen names, and logins. DEMAND that the AJC require login and REGISTRATION of all posters and bloggers.
That would mean having an ACTUAL true discussion board, and we cant have that.

It is not the number of wins/losses that was disappointing last year. It was HOW the Dawgs played. Even some of the wins last year were not much fun to watch because the Dawgs played so poorly. I don’t mind a close game when both teams are playing great, but that wasn’t the case in some of last year’s UGA victories.

Tech fans love the numbers 45-42..You may think that this is due to last years football game; but no, 42 is the number of Tech men who were not virgins when they graduated from college. 45 is the number of heterosexual women under 200 lbs on campus..
3..that is the number of men who had to double up.

M reminds me of the two cowboys in “Big Jake” who were about to hang the shepherd when John Wayne come along. The threaten him and the Duke replies “Well now you have me scared” and then kills them. Enjoy 45-42 until November 28th. then it’ll all be over. Even monkeys fall out of trees now and then.

Does everyone seem to forget that the 98, 99 and 00 GT “wins” were with academically ineligible players…I think that’s called cheating. Not talking about Lethal Weapon III either…LOL. But then again, that would be way below Tech to admit or discuss that because they are academically superior to our guys. Tech math still counts them as wins as well as the games played during the “war” years. That’s just plain old pathetic. I compare that to a baseball team like the Rays retiring Wade Boggs number just to have something on their wall to make them feel like a real franchise. That’s why 45-42 is the only score that’s continuously mentioned on this blog…and well, yes you won. Congrats! Why bring up old wounds? Guess it’s better for you to focus on the one true win in the last 18 games. Wow, that’s a looooooong time. Yes, UF has had it’s way with the Dawgs, but that’s at least on “nuetral” turf. That’s our goal and something we aspire to. Your aspirations are to be as good as UGA. Thanks for your support! Keep posting, please. For GT to be 1-18 against UGA with half of the games at UGA’s home away from home? That’s pretty pathetic, why not post 222-0? Isn’t that what you’re most known for? That’s your landmark victory! You may have been co-#1 in the nation, but you’ll always be #2 in the State. All the Tech posts prove that day in and day out. I wouldn’t even know where to find a Tech blog, nor would I want to waste my time on it. Thanks again for posting on the UGA blogs as it shows up in the numbers that helps solidify that UGA will keep getting the priority coverage.
