Live from New York, about to watch the other Big Blue!
Two stadiums: We're in the one on the left. The new one opens in 2010. (Photo by M. Bradley)
East Rutherford, N.J. – I’d never say I’m smart or anything. For one thing, you folks know better. For another, I thought there was no way my alma mater would win in Athens last night. (When last my alma mater won in Athens, I was just out of school. And that was a long time ago.)
But I digress. This isn’t about Willie Martinez or Mark Richt. (I suspect we’ll get around to both these next few days.) This is about the Falcons, who are about to play the New York Giants, and the one thing I can say for sure is that they’re almost exactly where I expected them to be on the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I had them 5-4 at this point, and the only part I got wrong was I had the results of the Carolina games flipped. I also had them losing today. But I also had them winning the NFC South, which won’t happen, and finishing 10-6, which is still within reach even if they’re 5-5 when night falls on Manhattan. (Which is across the river, as you might know. And yes, I’m aware I’m not technically “live from New York,” but somehow “live from Jersey” doesn’t resonate.)
Before you ask, I should report that — as of 10:31 a.m. EST — there’s no word on the availability of Michael Turner or Jerious Norwood. Esteemed colleague D. Orlando Ledbetter is endeavoring to find out whether either or both will play, but I can’t see Turner doing much if he does anything. And how long has it been since Norwood did anything, period?
(UPDATE: Both Turner and Norwood are inactive.)
And that’s all I’ve got at the moment. Except for this: When last Kentucky won at Sanford Stadium, Prince Charles and James Brown were in attendance. (The year was 1977.) Kentucky would win 33-0 — the Big Blue finished 10-1 that year but couldn’t go to a bowl owing to, er, probation — and it was essentially a wretched day all around for Vincent J. Dooley. But one memory still makes him smile:
Dooley and Fran Curci, who was Kentucky’s coach and who had no great appreciation for the trappings of royalty, were standing at midfield before the game when the Prince of Wales was escorted up. Dooley said, “Your highness, this is Fran Curci.”
And Curci said, “Hey, Prince.”
I’ll advise if any princes happen by today. If they do, I’ll say hey for you. And I’ll be here to chat about anything — Falcons, Giants, Dogs, Cats, James Brown — until this one ends. Please join me, won’t you?

Mark, you know my policy on Falcon blogs, but let me say this: As much as I have defended CMR, last night’s loss was the most inexcusable UGA loss since the Goff/Vandy homecoming game in the mid-90’s. CMR has simply got to turn this around. So this is also where I apologize to you for being down on UGA before the season. I gave you a lot of grief for it, and now I’m eating crow. But NOBODY could have predicted it was going to be this bad.

Mr. Bradley – as a Bulldog fan,can’t wait to be done with Blue this weekend. checking on your blog spelling:
And I’ll be hear to chat about anything
Shouldn’t it be “here” and not “hear”? Hey, its early Sunday, not trying to be a pain this early but my Mom used to drill this into me when looking at my homework. Same thing with “they’re” and “their”…..
Falcons will get their butts handed to them today if Ryan can’t hold it together. He needs to have a zero turnover effort and our run defense needs to step up today for us to have a chance. And can anyone get to Manning in a 4-down lineman set today? haven’t seen a whole lot from our front 4 lately, especially Abraham – what up with that? Biermann needs to shake it loose early for us.

My Saturday night: Got off the plane in Newark, saw on the iPhone the Bulldogs had just gone up 20-6. Figured, “That’s it.” Got to the hotel, went down to the workout room, came back upstairs and saw Georgia was behind 34-27. Could not believe it.
If I’m not mistaken, that might have been the biggest crowd before which a UK team has ever won. Think about that.

we was on our way to the game and was to look for the BIG DAWG TO EAT when the truck broke down but the tellyvison still works back at the doublewide so we was okay to still see the BIG DAWG EAT. Then the BIG DAWG did not want to eat and we was sad. And was sad also that the mascot died when he saw the BIG DAWG was not hungery cause we do like to eat but the BIG DAWG did not eat. The pitbull we keep back yard at the doublewide always like to eat and maybe we kin get us a new mascot pitbull so the BIG DAWG can eat again. Anyhows I never was thinking the DAWGS was not to win becase we are the SEC and we always beats the teams that are not the SEC so them kentukky coalminers was sure to lose but somehows they did beat the BIG DAWG. and now I am thinken why do we play the teams not in the SEC we should not play the coalminers ever again no more. But we do like to play the teams not SEC sometimes cause we do always beat them and they gots us a game down Atlanter way nex saturday ha ha ha that will be the end of them crybaby yella jakkets cause the BIG DOG WILL EAT on the yellajakkets sure nuff. And iffin we was to get one a them pitbulls for to be the mascot on the Atlanter game then the BIG DAWG will EAT and we will have a good old time down the bar at the croosroad. Now I am be thinken bout that bar down the croosroad and it is sunday but they gots the back door for the regulars so after church I am there. All of the bulldog nation can like this bar they got pixtures of UGA and the team and crown royal with coke cola too.

Oh, and Brewdawg: I didn’t expect it would be this bad, either. I predicted 8-4, and up until last night I’d only missed on one Georgia prediction. (I had them winning in Knoxville.) But losing to Kentucky at home changes everything.
Still no word on Turner or Norwood. Coming any minute, I’d guess.

Mark,
I don’t want to stick around and talk Falcons because it’s only a matter of time before Vick Supporter 2 / Bad News / bigeasy831 / “Choke” comes on here, hijacks the blog, and totally ruins it for everyione else who just wants to talk Falcons:
But please tell me you have something excoriating and vicious with the unvarnished truth prepared to throw Mark Richt’s way Monday.
Also, if you wouldn’t mind tearing Buck Belue a new one for all of the mudslinging he does against folks like us who’ve been rightly calling for Martinez’s job for two years. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to things like facts or truth, so he just sits on his media perch and ridicules, because he’d rather keep his cozy ties to the people who are running our program into the ground than to actually speak the TRUTH and have any actually loyalty to our program, which Mark Richt is simply just a caretaker (doing a piss-poor job), and NOT the program itself.
Thanks.

Great GT DNA
November 22nd, 2009
12:22 pm
Even as a GT fan I thought UGA had their game in hand and then the wheels came off their bus. I know there are a lot of angry UGA fans (everywhere) and last nights game was hard to swallow. We now have a great coach in CPJ, but you have had and still have a tremendous coach and an even better person in CMR.There is not a better coach in the market who you could replace him with, and it would be insanity to even consider it. Look what has happened to Notre Dame with their coaching carousel. I can see blaming the head coach for all the excessive penalties which smells of undisciplined players, but I see him pulling those guys out and making them sit….a step in the right direction. Yes, one or both coordinators are probably gone at the season’s end, but UGA fans “come on man!”, you lost all of your offense in last year’s draft, and like it or not, this is a rebuilding year. Suck it up! You can’t win huge every year, and if you check CMR’s record, most NCAA teams and even SEC teams would take that in a heartbeat. You’re going to come back, and this year’s disasters were probably more player caused than coaching caused. All the turnovers in the second half were player related, at least to my eyes. From what I could tell, if you take those away, and instead of fumbling at the goal line, UGA wins easily last night. Suck it up, take your lumps this year and start next year as good fans, not bandwagon impatient idiots.
And before I forget, GT is salivating on all the holes to run through the DL next week. It should be a foregone conclusion, but nothing’s guaranteed, so that’s why they play the game.

Speaking of lines and the Tech-Ga. game, Willie Martinez has given a nickname to his front seven, in order to help them build a sense of identity and cohesiveness for the big game.
In a display of good sportsmanship the Tech marketing department will allow Georgia to sell T-shirts honoring “The Maginot Line” at the game Saturday.

The desperate Giants will come out with gnashing teeth, arms flailing, and bug-eyed on defense…the Falcons must withstand the flurry in the first couple of possessions to stay in the game. Of course, this isn’t the first time they’ve seen this…Chi, Dal, and Wash, came out the same way. I just think NYG is more desperate and they have probably punched a few holes in locker room walls since the last bitter loss to SD.

meanwhile, in theory, the maginot line was an excellent defensive fortification. only problem was the forts were fixed in place so there was no abiliity to be mobile and concentrate strength where the germans attacked. in fact, all the germans did was go around the end of the wall and attack from the rear. “hit em where they ain’t” i think is the appropriate phrase. end of lesson, willie

Of course they do have a ring and we a 2 years away from that hopefully.

My last post was about UGA, not the Birds–sorry. Here are my thoughts about today’s game.
I wish I thought that the Falcons have a chance, but with all of the miscues from the last 4 weeks (interceptions, injuries, etc…) I don’t hold much hope. I still say MR is injured this year because his passing delivery looks different from last season, and all of the inaccurate throws seem to justify my opinion. I believe he will walk around the sophomore wall he’s been banging on, it’s just a matter of how long will it take. And without MT we don’t have a chance in the running game. That is an ominous sign for a defensive front built to rush and sack the QB. I just hope we don’t get too many people hurt today….it could be very ugly. I want us to win, I just don’t expect it.

Choke’s ability on down and out patterns gives him all the credentials he needs to discuss Ryan’s arm strength.
Sure when it came time to perform, Choke fell down and passed out before the receiver even got to his break, but the main point is, he was in the game.
For 15 seconds. JV. Seventh string. Credentials.

Hope that Dimitroff will pick both Miami Hurricane cornerbacks in the draft.
Hope that BVG won’t leave for a college head coaching job and we can see what he can do with actually good players, as opposed to knowing what he can do with a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Hope that next year, a healthy Harry Douglas IS what this team has been missing all year.
Hope is something we can look for in Atlanta.
The same cannot be said in Athens.

Gonna be tough with the injury to Turner . . . .but heres hoping the O and especially Ryan gets on track today. They are going to need a good/great game from the QB.

Don’t know what happened there. The Falcons just stopped and let Jacobs run down the sideline.

Sorry. Not the Falcons ball. I believed them when they pointed. But a big loss.

Mark,
Concerning your 1:02. Always good to be reminded how truly insignificant these games really are. Not that they don’t still tick me off.
