this is the bowl we deserved the way we turned over the ball and how bad we played on defense for more than half the year. One more regular season win and we’d be in tampa. I just hope the dawgs beat the aggies anyway….if it feels like a road game….UGA probably plays better. But if I had the money to go, I would’ve spent the money to go to Shreveport.

If I had the money, I’d go. The economy has a lot to do with it too, Bill. Beside that, we’ve got family coming in this weekend, and we’ll all be around the tube for the game. Let the Aggies enjoy their rare bowl trip. The Dawgs will still pound them like they were Hawaii.

This is not a surprise. I have gone to every bowl game since 2002 in Nashville against BC, but I will not be going this year. The only thing Shreveport is good for is getting murdered. I even would have gone to Birmingham (an underrated city) though that is considered a “lower ranked” bowl game than Shreveport. The problem is that no one wants to get to the end of the Dawgs game and then be stuck in a s***hole 11 hours from home with nothing to do. Nashville=great city, Memphis=great city, Tampa and Orlando, great cities. Atlanta goes without saying, but SHREVEPORT?!?!? Why do they even have a stadium there?

My years at UGA were the initially the 67 Liberty Bowl and we lost to NC State and their loud mouthed Qb Jim Donnan.
We in 68 played in the fine Sugar Bowl and were 8-0-2 and were ranked #4 and played Arkansas
(# 9?) with a fine bunch of big time athletes and even though we were a better team led by Qb Mike Cavan ( who beat out Archie Manning for SEC Soph of the year ) and Jake Scott, Brad Johnson and a totally great UGA team ………we LOST.
We in 69 played Nebraska in the mighty Sun Bowl and LOST to a team that in 70,71 and maybe 72, won the NC. In the Sun, we got blown out like 47-3. We were 5-5-1 that lousy year and this year reminds me of that year.
In the 71 Gator, we defeated a decent NC team like 10-3. We were 10-1 that year.
This dismal bowl record was MY UGA years. 2009? Similar and we nealry belw Vince Dololey out of his cleats with that record but it was not until 75 and 76 did UGA have teams worth talking about.

My point? NCAA football is cyclical folks. Get used to it. No none likes it but that is the way it is.

UGA ought to handle Texas A& M but then, who knows what team will even show up???

Go Dogs.

Bill King, you should work for CNN since you obviously have a Masters Degree in “Spin.” We are in a RECESSION, Shreveport is not affordably reached via air, it is an 8-hour drive from Atlanta from what I understand, and a Nobel Prize for Stupidity should be awarded to the individual(s) who EVER concocted the idea of hosting a college bolw game in Shreveport. Heck, why not have one in Chattanooga? Same difference. If the game were closer, Dawg fans would attend. Period. This will NOT hurt UGA in bowl selections in the future. I also heard (you can confirm) this is the final year of an SEC tie-in to the Independence Bowl. Thank goodness, but too bad because that is where Tennessee would be headed in 2010 (if they can even win 6 games). I would enjoy the laugh since they seem to think they will be “better” in 2010.

Let’s face it gang, beating Tech should not be a big deal for UGA on an average year. We stunk the place up for the most part this year. A bad year happens. I hate the fact that we have to measure the tech game as a good win this year because it normally is a game we are expected to win.

We have the bowl we deserve this year. However, myself and my son will be there pulling for our Dawgs! We will be much better next year. The Nerd Herd knows that and that’s why they are on here running their mouths. I find it hysterical! They hate the fact that when something is broke at UGA, ie Willie, we get rid of the problem and get a solution. The ever fear of impending doom the nerds are feeling….. I love it.

Knelson, no way Berry returns. See Bradford for a reason why. Berry is predicted to be a top 5 pick (some of that depends on the 5 teams of course). He needs to take the money now. His draft stock will not get higher and the potential risk is too great both in terms of injury and his “stock” dropping. Also, he will never get that money back. I also suspect the talk of a rookie salary cap is going to pick up.

Georgia played a better schedule than Auburn, Arkansas, and Kentucky. If we had Ball State at home instead of OK State on the road we’d be 8-4 and in the Outback. Schedule down Damon, all of your top rivals do it and are being rewarded. (UT being the exception) Who cares what anyone thinks. Look at Alabama’s non- conference schedule. Rewarded physically and mentally with Chattanooga, North Texas, & Florida Int’l, cream puffs during the middle of AL’s SEC grind. Good VT win but you have to play one good out of conference because your big one is in your division. That being said, Georgia did not have the coaches or the players, for some reason, to compete at the highest levels this year, but did three teams UGA beat this year all with 3-5 Conference records deserve bowl invitations ahead of Georgia? Did they honestly compete at the highest levels? Schedule down Damon to get the wins. That’s the message being sent! Also, play more home games. UGA and Vanderbilt were the only two SEC teams with 6 home games this year. Some teams had 8. Most 7. I know, cry me a river. Happy Holidays to everyone and hope you have a great New Year!

I understand Tech has a great business program, however, each school specializes in different areas.

The only common denominator between these top programs is MIS – both schools would be great for that major.

GT Joe, why the name calling? Rednecks? I have had fine dining all over the world thank you very much. I was keeping the conversation civil and not personal. I know I am winning when a person starts making personal attacks. I know which side is winning a college sports argument when someone starts to spout off about academics. Tech is no different than other schools at putting their athletes in the easiest possible majors to keep them eligible. All schools will have some top students who are athletes, but they will have far more who would not make it were it not for the hand holding the athletic dept does.

Tech is a fine academic school. I find it amusing when UGA fans (most of whom probably did not attend a single class) spout off about Tech being a poor school. The missions of UGA and Tech are different. Simple enough. Now let’s keep this about football. No one really cares about academics in a football discussion.

Shreveport is the Bowl home of the 2009 Natl Champ Bama who visited Shreveport in 2007. The visit was followed with and appearance in the Natl Championship only 21 years later in 2009.

This is not the first time that has happened. Oklahoma visited Shreveport in 1999, and won the Natl Champ in 2000.

Playinig in the SEC and being in the top 3 is really something to brag about! I’d go to the least favorite bowl if I could just to see the red, black, and silver! I get WSB at night very faintly. I miss Larry Munson, I miss Georgia fall mornings getting up and watching or listening to the dawgs play. I just went out of the country to Africa and it makes you appreciate our country. We are the best in the world! So try coming up to Minnesota awhile and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I would love to cheer on the Bulldogs at the Independence Bowl, it’s just the timing. Having the bowl game on a Monday for those of us who do not have any more vacation days left is the problem. But I will be rushing home from work to watch it on TV, GO DAWGS!!! Beat Texas A&M!!!

Pretty stupid reporting. Pretty ignorant of the beat reporter to not realize the Independence Bowl is more inline with the ACC’s Emerald Bowl which does not have a blue field! The SEC’s Music City Bowl would equate to the ACC’s previous trips to Boise which does have a blue field. Unfortunately, this simply shows that the quality of a UGA education. There journalism department releases sports reporters that can’t tell the difference between San Fran ad Boise!!!

I’m planning on going – taking my 10 year old son (and my father who will be in town if he wants to go). I’ll take a half day on Monday and drive the 3.5 hours to Shreveport. Tickets are a cheap $30/$35 face and I expect that I can buy some on the street for $20 each (compared to the $100 each I paid for 2 OK State tix in Stillwater).

This game is sold out. Georgia has a national following, people appreciate the brand of Georgia football, they know a winner when they see one. The game is sold out. Bama could NOT sell their Independence Shreveport game out back in 2007. This one is sold out for the 1st time since 2003.

All good points, but my son and I, both UGA grads, are going to Shreveport. Yes we should have gotten the Outback Bowl, but “it is what it is.” Auburn guaranteed 30,000 tickets sold and bought their way in. CMR has shown he will do what’s necessary to get us back on top. Expect a big hire around 1/8. In the meantime, I understand and share everyone’s disappointment, but want to show my support.

The Bulldog nation should be ashamed of itself for not But=ying tickets to the bowl. The season UGA has sunk to a new low. Fans criticized Joe Cox who had better stats than Dan marino as a senior at Pitt. They they fire three men with families right before the Christmas Hollidays. They will all burn for that sin, iguarantee you of that. Now they turn their noses up at the Independence Bowl. weel lets tell the truth. No other Bowl wanted UGA. So get a life and get over it. Maybe nest year Lane Kiffin will not out recruit so much. Kiffin knows how to recruit young men. We need to research and imitate his recruiting procedures and recruiting techniques. Never point a finger at someone else is what Jesus said to his followers!

Quit whining about Auburn. They beat UT at UT where we got throttled and beat the crap out of Ole Miss. Two bigger wins than we had all year. Their fans are showing excitement and we are being totally negative. The Outback saw it too. Face it CMR has to make some changes to get the program refocused and build momentum. Complain all you want but bowl selections are about business and our negative attitude did not help with bowl selections.

Bill, you just nailed the season.
This should be TATTOOED across every player (and coach)’s forehead, etched into CWM’s resume and all over the Dawg Majal.

It should be tattooed on Joe’s Cox. He single handed lost that game.

Kirk ESPN idiot says —- ” OKLAHOMA LOST the BIG 12 Champ in 2003, 35-7 to Kansas St., and got an invite to the Natl Champ. They LOST their cxonference, and got an invite. Georgia didn’t win the SEC in 2007, and did NOT get the invite. Human bias.”

You are exactly right except for one thing, Oklahoma WON THE BIG 12 SOUTH and at least played in the BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME that year.

Dawggies didn’t win the East in 2007, they were tied with Tennessee and the Vols had beaten them down earlier in the season so they won the tie breaker. NO SEC EAST TITLE, NO SEC TITLE GAME…………………..No BCS TITLE GAME.

Just like Bama visited Shreveport in 2007 and the Independence Bowl was their Springboard to the Natrl Champ in 2009, Georgia will rub the mystical Shreveport magic and go on to the Natl Champ. Oklahoma found the magic dust was in Shreveport in 1999, when they went on in 2000 to become Natl Champs.

Some say the climate has a magical effect, others say it’s the water from a local body of water, yet others believe it’s magic is related to the spirit of the La. fans. Somehow, Shreveport has become, for both Oklahoma and Bama, springboard for the National Champions. There is a magic in Shreveport.

We loooooooooooooooooooooooooove Shreveport!!!!

The funny thing is that before the season started, I predicted that the Dawgs record would be 8-4. I only missed by one game, but the way we got to 7-5 made it seem much worse.

As for the Independence Bowl itself, it just seems so “small-time” compared to what we have gotten accustomed to for our post-season. The stadium itself has the look of a large high school stadium. The whole bowl system needs to be scrapped in favor of a playoff, but that’s a different topic for a different day.

Even the time of the game and the network carrying the game scream “SMALL POTATOES”. The game will be played at 5:00 pm on the Monday after Christmas, which is just another work day to most of us. Further, the ESPN family is televising 24 bowl games this year and only two of them are on ESPN2 – The Independence Bowl and the International Bowl featuring South Florida vs. Northern Illinois!

Things have GOT to get better next year!!!

I agree with Todd. Just because A&M has sucked for 20 years and are fired up doesn’t mean I should lend credence to a bull—- system. College football is a joke and I will pay for games in Athens or and SEC title game but that is it. Not for exhibition season when the games mean nothing and it involves taking two days off and spending $500. What a joke.

I’m going to set the record straight. I’m tired of Tech fans bragging about South Beach and Dawg fans boo-hooing about Shreveport.

Now Tech fans can brag about their season all they want to. Your high school wishbone or whatever they want to call it was good but not good enough to beat Miami or UGA and barely got past Wake Forest and Clemson the second time. Having that been said, You cannot win your Bowl game without a run defense. Plain and simple. And if you think your going to beat Iowa, then Tech Fans are more delusional than I thought.

UGA fans are so spoiled because they are not playing on New Year’s day. Get over it. When you’ve had the season you’ve had, where did you expect to play? When the coaching staff doesn’t make the necessary changes until it’s too late, you get what you deserve. The win over Tech was a “Save Face” win, nothing more. And to think that was going to up your chance for a better bowl was also delusional, In my opinion, I don’t think UGA will beat TAMU. Now I’m only going by what I know about UGA and the TAMU – Texas game. TAMU has a mobile QB and mobile QB’s give UGA defense fits. Just saying.

I’m a UGA fan, but more important, a fan of football.

There will be more than the allotment of Dawgs in Shreveport despite all of the good excuses for not going (and there are plenty). Buying tickets through the university will get you the worst seats in the stadium for a premium price. You are better scalping at the game and get better seats below face.

Weather, Monday game, miles to travel, lousy city, bad season for Dawgs….

Dawgs would (as ussual) sell out more than there share for any of the other bowls that were options (B-ham, Memphis, Nashville and especially Tampa).

The Reality is that tech fans are more delusional than the skin suit wearing guy from Silence of the Lambs. You talked shart all year and up to the game and then you got your stingers handed to you at the Joke by Coke Bobby Dork Stadium (what we left of it – see front page picture). We own you massengills. While many of us may not want to travel to a turd bowl on a Monday night in rural Louisianna, no one will even watch your joke bowl game of the mighty ACC “champs” on TV. It takes free food just to get your fanbase to a home game. Everyone knows that you and your conference are a joke and that you don’t even have a majority fanbase in your own city.
You are irrelevant, but I do enjoy your pain. You were humiliated by us and are still talking trash.

Once our defense is settled and CPJ gets his players we are going to be a power for a very long time…

Also I have HAD it with the SEC greatness stuff…the SEC is UA, Florida and MAYBE LSU…the rest of the league is FAR inferior…

And yes I know that UGAG beat Tech but its a rival game. My hope for 2010 is that we are both 11-0 and yall are randked 1 and we are 2 and that we go into Sanford Stadium…you know the place that most Dog fans cant find cause they have never been anywhere near Athens…beat yall 63-7…now that would be fun…
