Bulldog Bites: UGA slight favorite over guess who
While we’re passing along betting news out of Las Vegas, Senator Blutarsky points out a Las Vegas Sun article detailing the early Las Vegas Hilton betting lines on some big games this season.
As you’d expect, Florida is a 13.5 point favorite over the Dogs, but Georgia is a favorite over South Carolina (11.5 points), Arkansas (3.5 points), LSU (3.5) and Tennessee (3).
Oh, and the Dogs also are a 1-point favorite over Georgia Tech.
Guess the oddsmakers aren’t as impressed with Paul Johnson’s triple-option juggernaut as they are with Mark Richt’s road record. …
So it’s the postgame interviews that will be trimmed from Loran Smith’s to-do list on the UGA radio broadcasts. WSB-TV sports anchor Chuck Dowdle, who already cohosted Mark Richt’s weekly TV show, has told our Tim Tucker that he’s agreed to take on the locker-room interviews this season.
What sort of difference will that make? Well, the questions no doubt will be a bit more relevant — less about someone’s hometown or food preferences and more about what happened on the field. But based on Dowdle’s work on the TV show, Richt and company still will be getting softball inquiries designed to ruffle no feathers at Butts-Mehre.

hey ignorant one…when one falls back on gold chains, mullets, etc….it basically means that they have no argument when it comes to FOOTBALL….so sit back, and enjoy the CFB season as UF wins their 4th NC while the dogs lose 4+ games

Cletus, you rube, what in the world does HS GPA of admittees have to do with your perceived difference between class difficulty at UGA versus GT? This is precisely why 95% of the state hates you, and why you will never have a tix waiting list and have to offer hot dogs and cokes.

hey 49-10, that was Miss St. that beat your mighty Tebows. Get your facts straight. You are real mature calling Richt “prick”. Good one! You have certainly earned the respect and admiration of all bloggers! You are the one making excuses about lame duck coaches and hurt QB’s. The only thing hurt with Heblow was his pride because of the beat down he received that day. The look on Cryer and Heblow’s faces were priceless. Could you have 2 bigger crybabies than your QB and Head Coach? Are you going to beat your chest when you lose a game this year (you will, you always do)? Have you EVER been undefeated? Ever? chirp, chirp, chirp. Go polish your beads and press those jorts, cheese ball, the rest of the country wants to see you as the always do.

DAWG FAN: Without more info you sound like a jealous rival that has hopes that what you report is true. Why don’t you put a name to a quote? Why don’t you give more details? Why don’t you become a reporter? Because you don’t have a story. You are most likely a Tech fan trying to stir up some controversy that doesn’t exist. Or you can provide a name and facts so AJC reporters can check it out. Go back to your nest.

Canes, I would comment on your post if I could understand it. However, I’m educated and you are retarded. I’m sure some dog fans can understand your drivel. What the F ever. I bet a grand on the game this year. I got in as a 1 point underdog at home. I want all you down syndrome retards to remember that the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I’ll be drinking beer in the east stands and watching the usual UGA fans with a G hat and riding around in their Quickie wheelchairs trying not to spill their worthless asses over the upper deck into the lower east. Stay the F away from me please you worthless F.

Hey super, I hope you’re one of the standard dogs betting on the Tech game. Do you need my bank account number for direct deposit? Or do we need to do this in bulk? I mean, you are retarded.

Clearly you did think I answered your questions, since you responded. It’s not my fault that you didn’t like the facts. Who cares why UGA beat FL. Fl might have wanted to lose, tried to lose, for all I care. Doesn’t change the facts, You ask why it’s different, I told you. Then you went off on some rant in a different direction. In fact nothing you claim has anything to do with my point? Or your question. Shall I explain it again?
and seriously, you’re going to preach about being an insulting little elementary school kid? Wow!

Another STUPID report by the AJC. Just 3-4 weeks ago, this story was completely opposite. What kind if reporting is this anyway? You guys should stick to blogging on Facebook, that is about as much journalistic integrity you have.

“PAULD JOHNSON’S TRIPLE OPTION JUGGERNAUT” (?) You got to be kidding. We shoved their triple option into every orifice of their bodies. Who are all of these delusional GT fans on here talking smack. We exposed them chumps to the entire world and I wouldn’t be surprised if the triple option is exinct in another season as every team will watch our video of the bowl game. Johnson is history.
