On the offchance you haven’t read enough about Joe Cox, Bulldogs Blog has assembled quotes from a bunch of the quarterback’s teammates and his head coach about why Cox is viewed as the team’s leader despite not having much game experience. …
Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com joins the growing number of prognosticators picking the Dogs to take second place in the SEC East. Says Dodd: “The last time the expectations were this low, 2005, Georgia won the SEC East. It’s going to take a win over Florida to do it, so a division title isn’t likely. But 10 wins out of this group isn’t out of the question.” …
Frank Ros, captain of the 1980 national championship team, a Coca-Cola exec, father of rising redshirt freshman tight end Bryce Ros and always a class act, has been named the 2009 recipient of the Bill Hartman Award, one of the highest honors given to a former UGA student-athlete. The annual award recognizes former Varsity athletes with a degree from UGA who have demonstrated excellence in their profession and/or in service to others by 20 or more years of superior performance after graduation. Well done, Frank!

Didn’t think posts could get more obnoxious than Saint Simons’, but the imposter at 4:45 gets the award. Tickle piles, virgin and “likes men” jokes are for juveniles. Maybe you should ask your mommy if it’s time for your nap. You’ve shown you don’t belong in an adult venue.

Saint Simons,try to be more creative, other than your same old post otherwise after 11-28-09 you will have nothing to say. By the way, 7-1 under CMR, put that on your woosie ring and wear it over to the Crab Trap.

It is my understanding that the Florida Gators are refusing to play Georgia this year because they heard Joe Cox is the QB!

The Heisman is just waiting on Joe Cox to collect. Tim Tebow and the Oklahoma QB have already called and let the Heisman people know that the contest is over and go ahead and give it to Joe. Boy, this is fun!

Isn’t funny how all the Georgia fans are saying how all the other teams coaches are leaving soon. Well let me start my own rumor. Richt to Miami next year with Willie. They need someone to go down there to continue to recruit great talent and do absolutely nothing with it. Richt and Willie are great at that.

Mikey, I want the best qb on the field and Aaron Murray is the best qb on that team. They redshirted Knowshon Moreno knowing full well that he was the best rb on the team. If Pete Carroll was uga hc Murray would be the starter because Carroll doesn’t believe in putting loyalty before winning championships even if that means starting a freshman over a senior.If anyone believe that Joe Cox is a better qb than Aaron Murray they are kidding themselves.

UGA is on the downfall…
GT will beat UF in NC this year and GT will play for NC next year too!!
UGA wins four games at best this year
WRITE IT DOWN!! GT was way too good last year to look them over this year. The option is the best offensive strategy in CFB

the posts about Nesbit are just laughable. The kid can’t play a full game to save his life. Dwyer is a beast I will give you that. But to say the SEC is overrated is even more laughable. Who has one the last 3 national championships? The SEC. Who has won more National Championships since 1990? The SEC. Unless you are willing to look at the facts and speak to them, don’t post anymore.
If you want to just post things that you know will get people worked up, go ahead, because you obviously don’t have much to live for then.

tony, I agreed Murray is prolly a better talent than Joe. But, you can’t measured Joe’s heart, determination and leadership. I think we’ll be fine with Joe under center. Lets not forget about Logan Gray.. he’s a good QB at his own right. He’s much faster and strong arm than the two, imo. I would like to see Logan coming in on few series like we did with Shock/Greene. Joe will prove everybody wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I love the problem we have at QB. Maybe Murray will get some series if we are to get him game ready w/Logan for next season. We shall see, brah..

“Saint” Simons needs to get a life, or at least a real job other than posting on this blog. His obsession tells me he must still live with his momma and is a zit-faced teenager with no friends, especially a girlfriend. Or he’s just trying to rile people like me up so I will post things like this.

Joe Cox’s knowlege of the system will lead/move the O. He doesn’t have to do too much to win games.. much like John Parker Wilson did last year.. run/run/play action! Bobo will rely heavily on Searles beasts upfront. Joe will put us in right situations to win games. I smell victory in Stillwater!

If there is competition at QB this year it will be from Logan Grey, who has a ton of athletic ability and has longer in the system than the two freshmen. Even if redshirted, Murray or Mettenberger will start for three years before going pro. The QB position is much different than RB. The QB need time and experience reading Defenses. If Murray sees the field this year it will be because we are in serious trouble or have had an injury to Cox or Grey. I’m not saying Murray won’t be a better QB than the other two in the end, just not this season.
