As a UGA alum and die-hard, I do not hate Auburn, though I do consider them our 3rd biggest rival (behind 1. the Nerds and 2. the Lizards).

Auburn is everything an SEC is and should be about. They win respectively and have a great and loyal fanbase to go along with it.

While I love beating Auburn, I do not feel the need to trash talk when we do so (like the previous 4 seasons), and when we lose to them, I feel I can respectively tip my hat and wish them well against BAMA.

I am excited that my Dawgs have a chance to play spoiler this weekend. If we come up short, it’s not as if we were suppose to win, right? We win, we dance in the streets.

Now, go decide on a mascot Auburn. You are confusing the kids.

Will Grantham have a chance to “choke” anyone?

Will Ealy continue to run like a girl with two hands on the ball while tippy-toeing up to the line of scrimmage?

Will Cam throw or run for more TD’s against that bad UGA defense?

How many times will Commings, Rambo and the rest of the DB’s get out of position for TD throws, and then turn and look at each other like “it wasn’t my guy” and “I thought you were covering him”…

How many wheel routes will AU run with no one close to the intended receiver? (you would think that after getting beat on this play in 9 out of ten games someone would figure out this coverage problem…)

Will Aaron (or any college QB) ever figure out how to throw the fade route pass high enough so that those tall receivers can at least have a chance to jump and catch instead of having the ball underthrown (see, Murray, Garcia, the ND QB, etc)

What stupid call will Bobo make this week – oh, nevermind, we all know the answer to that one…

I don’t know what to expect. If the dogs can bottle up Newton (and that is a very big IF), the possibility is there because we should be able to score on the Auburn defense. I am split between the reality of 5-5 and the realization that we are four last drive turnovers away from 8-1.

Never underestimate the dawgs…everyone wants to forget that Florida had Rainey back against us and no one else this year. Everyone wants to forget about 2006 when a freshman QB went to Auburn and destroyed them, they were ranked #5 and Georgia was not in the top 25. Everyone wants to forget that Auburns secondary is worse than Georgia’s, everyone wants to forget that since Vandy Georgia has scored over 30 points in every game. Everyone wants to forget that Georgia can stop the run…Everyone want to forget Georgia has won 4 in a row, and everyone wants to forget no matter what Cam Newton may be fantastic but even Georgia beat Tim Tebow.

This game shoule be a shootout, as UGA’s offense has been NO joke the last several weeks, and Auburn’s defense has DEFINITELY been a joke all season.

I have ZERO clue what Richt and Grantham will come up with in attempt to stop Auburn, but I was pleased in Richt’s postgame interview this past Saturday when he said his day was only half over, as he was about to meet with his coaches to go over Auburn pre-planning, which he said he never does until Monday.

Dawgs have a “nothing to lose” mentality going in. I like our chances… though they really are just that… “chances”.

My favorite game of the year. Let’s go shock the world just like 06 and beat Auburn!

1. Auburn’s defense, especially pass defense stinks.

2. UGA’s margin of vicotry (or rather loss) has got to be the closest of any 5-5 team out there. In other words, nobody has blown us out.

3. Shut down Cam Newton, and you shut down Auburn. Yeh… easier said than done.

Would like to hear a rational Auburn fan’s perspective. Are they writing this game off as an automatic win, and already concentrating on Bama? Do they consider the close history, and the success of the road team? Does 2006 factor in at all?

Thanks in advance for the rational response.

For the record, I think Sanford Drive summed up the rivalry perfectly. It’s very respectful, and the Auburn fans do not seem to have the sore winner mentality that other fanbases do.

And do you Auburn fans think for a second if Cam Newton was at UGA, his recent allegations along with the laptop scandel at Florida wouldn’t justify him as a “Thug” in your eyes.

It’s a simple case of “he is on my team, therefore i will justify his actions” situation for you Auburn Eagles.

Oh, and let us not forget Cam’s quote a few weeks ago, something to the tune of…

“If i had it my way, I would still be at Florida. My heart is still with the Gators. Leaving those wonderful teammates was the hardest part”………

So do you think he wears a Florida t-shirt underneath his Auburn jersey???

This is an great and respectful rivalry. I grew up a die hard Auburn fan having season tickets with my family most years. However, I’m UGA Alumnus, and I’m a Dawg. Going to the Auburn/UGA game last year, I honestly didn’t know who I’d be cheering for until the opening kickoff. But once that ball was kicked in the air I knew I was pulling for the Dawgs.

I’m conflicted again this year. After losing to Florida last week, I though it would make it a lot easier to decide about this week’s game. But I’m still unsure. I think I’ll enjoy it either way.

Auburn has an amazing offense that does not stop at Cam Newton. Anyone who doesn’t see that is delusional. They have great receivers, a great O-Line, and one of the best running backs in the nation.

Georgia has a great freshman QB, some very talented receivers, an an O-line that’s finally showing up.

The people above who claim Auburn is going to blow out the Dawgs, I think, are a little misguided. I honestly think UGA can pull this one out, but I don’t know that we will. The Dawgs are going to score some points. This might end up looking like the Auburn/Arkansas game.

I know it sounds crazy but, War Eagle and Go Dawgs!!!

Interesting that this piece should point out the long-standing, respectful, series that the Georgia/Auburn rivalry has been. I generally attribute it to the fact that one of the finest gentlemen you could imagine came to Athens back when I was in school and ‘righted the ship’. I’ve thanked Joel Eaves in my prayers more than once over the years for restoring Georgia’s athletic respectability and, most of all, for bringing a young, freshman/quarterbacks coach to Athens – and the rest is history. So I haven’t had a genuinely ‘hateful’ spot in my heart for Auburn for as long as I can remember – oh maybe a couple of years while Tuberville was there, but not many…and as far as I’m concerned the jury’s still out on Coach Cheez-it…we’ll see.

For those that are singing the praises of young Mr. Newton – and well you should – and are saying that he ‘hasn’t done anything wrong’, just remember, if he hadn’t done anything wrong he’d be in his final year at Florida and Auburn would be somewhere in the middle of the SEC West about now. I’m not playing this weekend but I do know that the secret to bringing Newton down is the same way they brought Herschel down – take his pins out from under him – oh yeah, there is one other way, offer him a lap-top for ten cents on the dollar – sorry, that was a cheap shot, but I’ve got to say that Auburn, regardless,, rationalized their way into recruiting Cam after he had demonstrated some rather ‘less than outstanding’ character traits – kinda like Ole Miss did with the lap-top stealing QB from out West some place – what is it about lap-tops with these kids, anyway? So enjoy your time with Newton Auburn. It’ll be over at the end of this season – you’re just a ‘means to an end’…then again, as he and the rest of the quality football players have figured out, so are they – for the schools that is.

I would like to thank the AU fans that are on this post. First class, honestly. I am appreciative of how you represent your school and pride. I wish UGA had more fans like that. As to the game. It is going to be a shoot out if Cam is on point, but our recievers are going to light up AU secondary also. I think both teams will score 40 or better. If we don’t pull an upset, good luck to AU and I hope you represent the SEC well in the NCG. Go Dawgs!!!

Holla. I Just wanted to say there are two big differences between me and 2010.

1. Auburn has replaced Brandon Cox with Cam Newton (I hope I dont need to expound on the difference here.)

2. Georgia does not have Matt Stafford. No offense to Aaron Murray but on the biggest stage (UF Game) he nutted up. I just wonder how he reacts when there is 87,451 fans against him.

I realize this is primarily a Georgia blog – but it’s public – so here are my two cents worth:

You Georgia fans are smoking crack if you think UGA is going to beat Auburn.

Aubrn in 10-0 – this Saturday, Auburn is playing
– to CLINCH the SEC WEST TITLE
– an UNDEFEATED season
– HEISMAN publicity
– BCS ranking
So look for Auburn to keep the gas pedal mashed the entire game – they need to score a lot of points just to keep up with the BCS.
Auburn has shown the can and will win the Big games – and the close games.

UGA – is 5-5
UGA has not won a BIG game all year – and if the game was close – UGA has choked.
UGA lost to Colorodo – probably the worst Big12 team this year.

I do not care about history in this year’s game. UGA ’s best effort all year was the second half againt Florida – even then, they made enough mistakes and was just not good enough to beat the Gators.

Also – look how the Gator QB shredded UGA’s defense running – expect even more out of Cam Newton.

This game has second half blow out written all over it.

Does UGA have a chance? sure – Cam could get hurt.

Will UGA win Staurday – NO WAY

Top of the SEC vs a team that could not beat mediocre and poor B12 teams 2 years in a row.

First, I have tremendous respect for Auburn, the University, their Alumni and fans. Over-all they are a class group and just the mere fact that most of them have to live in the same state in Alabama fans garners sympathy (win or lose). Was also watching Auburn’s recruiting, so while I’m surprised they are undefeated, I’m not surprised that they have a very good football team. Have not felt that Georgia would upset any team and like most of my fellow Dawgs will believe they can beat Florida when they do it.

With that said, I believe that Georgia has a good chance of winning this game. Auburn is a very good football team, but their defense (like ours) tends to give up the big play. And say what you want about Georgia, since getting Green back, they have averaged around forty points again. Also realize that alot of those points came against weaker opposition, but so did Auburn’s. And remember, Georgia put 30 up against Florida with four turn overs. The ball has pretty much bounced Auburn’s way this year, while no the case for Georgia. It’s due to ‘flip’.

Georgia 42 Auburn 38 in a great game.

We will beat Tech. Their quarterback (Nesbitt) is out for the year after breaking his arm Thursday and he is the guy that has hurt us lately. If it weren’t for us hurting his knee last year an knocking him out of part of the game, I am afraid Tech would have beaten us again last year.

Nevertheless, we should win that game this year and that will make us bowl eligibel (Even if we lose to Awww-Burn).

All you Tech fans on here have no reason to talk about UGA.

You do realise you lost to Kansas…. yes the same Kansas that lost to an FCS school?

The thing is… Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons. College sports are fun to follow, but the biggest reason for going to college is to get an education.

UGA fans don’t seem to care about anything but football, and they don’t care if their players are enrolled in silly majors that no parents who are paying the bills would send their kids to UGA for. The very few football and basketball players who graduate have no job opportunities and end up unemployed or working in menial jobs that hardly require a college degree.

Georgia Tech is a real school with serious academic standards, and that includes scholarshipped athletes. UGA has a long history of being a party school, where parents send their kids for an easy degree, even if the degree itself is practically worthless.

Jan Kemp exposed the crap going on at UGA with athletes being enrolled in courses a ten-year-old kid could pass. That was almost three decades ago, and nothing has changed. If anything, the abuses are more blatant today. Way too many illiterate morons are being recruited, and the very high arrest rate shows clearly that Richt does not care if his players have any morals or self-discipline.

The bottom line is that most Tech fans have very good jobs and productive lives that don’t depend on Tech’s football record for their happiness in life. It would be great to beat UGA more often, but when you put scholar-athletes up against thug-athletes, it’s usually no contest.

It’s pretty pathetic to see UGA fans who typically have never been within miles of a college classroom and who live or die with UGA’s weekly results on the football field.

So keep on posting your “30-24″ all you want, especially since you’re home with plenty of time on your hands. I wish you well, maybe you’ll get lucky and get your old job back at the Waffle House before your unemployment checks stop coming.  

And Yellow Jackets will keep posting here to remind you what a really crappy place UGA is.

Once again lack of defensive talent will be the deciding factor. Grantham does not have the talent nor the coaching ability at this time to stop a mobile QB.

My hope is that this Saturday will be a repeat of the first game in Athens after many Georgia-Auburn games at Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Auburn was favored and was ready to clinch a victory when All-American Pat Dye recovered a fumble for our Dogs. Francis Tarkenton, our junior quarterback, led the Dogs down the field toward the East endzone. With a few seconds left(12 is my best memory) Tarkenton passed to Bill Herron for the tying touchdown at 13-13. Durwood Pennington kicked the extra point and our Dogs won 14-13 to claim the SEC Championship under Wally Butts and a trip to the 1960 Orange Bowl which was a victory over Missouri.

It was this Georgia grad”s first trip to Sanford Stadium and the day I decided to go to school at Georgia. I was in the seventh grade at St. Elmo School in Columbus.

These Auburn officials don’t get it (and neither do their idiot fans). If the NCAA finds that an Auburn booster gave money to this guy, regardless of whether Auburn knew about it or Newton’s family knew about it, AUBURN IS GOING ON PROBATION!

Or maybe they do actually get it and are trying to SPIN it in the best possible light.

This game will be closer than people think but Auburn has too much for the Dawgs playing away from home, and will run away in the 4th quarter with a fresh Mike Dyer carrying the load.

Consider that Auburn needs one win between the UGA and UAT games to secure a trip to Atlanta, and beating UGA in Auburn should be their best shot considering the other is Bama in T-town.

Final score: AU 37, UGA 24

Georgia is going to get run over by Auburn on Saturday. We suck in big games. We have not beaten a team with a winning record this year – what an embarassment! We pad our stats against lousy teams. Then we play teams with actual talent we suck. An interception on the 1st play against Florida! Another in OT. Until we get rid of CMR – we will be an average SEC team at best. I have watched us play 3 really big SEC games this year: SC, Arkansas, and Florida – not 1 time in any of those games did we have the lead. Georgia under CMR does not pass the eyeball test – we simply will not be ready to play. I’ll bet anyone out there $500 Auburn will score a TD on their 1st drive and we will go 3 and out or turn it over. Then we will have to listen to CMR say, “we gotta go back to work.” That was the same BS Ray Goff used to say after Georgia got their asses kicked. Fire CMR NOW – or go through this again next year.

At least UGA does not sign players who already have been arrested before. Florida has 31 arrests, one of which was Newton…UGA did not even attempt to recruit Newton out of JC due to his prior record. Auburn should have stayed away as well. Now you will have to forfeit all your games this year when the truth comes out!

I see a good bit more Dawgs on here talking it up than I thought I would see. I would love to say that we are going to win. Just don’t see it unless we can put 13 on the field against their QB. Depending on Bobo’s play calling I can see the score around: Auburn 52 UGA 38
I will pay anyone that has the flu rigfht now to go and sneeze and breath all over Cam. That would would bring the score to: Auburn 39 UGA 38

Okeefenokee, While I do think Grantham was a good hire, and the defense will be fine eventually, that meteoric rise from 84rd to 23rd is just a 6 ppg difference, or about what our offense use to spot the other team last year. So that’s why it doesn’t feel a lot better to most fans. Better, but also circumstantial. Actually the stats for overall defense has been a better surprise. Considering last year the defense gave up 40 ypg more ON a shorter fields, you can certainly say that’s an improvement.

Weren’t you questioning why anybody would think the team would be any better next year? Is there anyone who doesn’t thinks a new defensive philosophy would make it’s biggest improvement in year 2? I also believe our better talent is in the lower classes right now.

Wins over Aub and Tech would be Great, but Richt better find a way to beat UF or it will cost him the way Tech cost Donnan…and MB had a great point last week…if Donnan had Replay he would’ve beaten Tech at least once and maybe twice. CMR, most of us are behind you but we NEED to beat the GATORS next year! To McG, schedule a week off before UF every year – keep the game in JAX but only if we can win close to half the time.

I’m not suggesting Donnan should still be coach, just sayin the Boosters/supportes are Powerful and if you don’t give them what they want (in CJD’s day, Beat Tech, In CMR’s day, Beat UF) then you will find yourself in deep doo-doo. CMR is obviously our best coach since Dooley but results are everything.

“Next season the poor guy will be running for his life because our O Line will be even worse.”

How so?
We have 5 of the 7 OL that have been rotating back, including 4 starters. At least 4 underclassmen in waiting that were all higher rated out of highschool than most of the guys that we have now, a couple considered some of the top players at thier positions in the nation. Plus a handfull of other bodies. We will see how they turn out, but as far as pure talent, we are actually upgrading over the next 2 years.

Certainly a second year QB is also going to be able to read the defense better and harder to fool with blitzes, isn’t he?

I’ve certainly been critical of what we have done with the OLine (long before it was the cool thing to do BTW) but to say they are going to be worse next year? Based on what?

@dawggirl-

I like to think of myself as a rational AU fan. First AU/GA game I attended was as an AU freshman. It was a very close AU loss to a Herschel Walker led defending National Champion UGA team. Bo Jackson was just starting his college career at Auburn. Even though AU lost, I can still hear the fans chanting “It’s great to be…an Auburn Tiger! at the end of that game. Been hooked on this rivalry ever since.

I don’t think any seasoned AU fans are overlooking the Dawgs. We know we have a very suspect defense and the UGA combo of Murray and AJ Greene could certainly give us trouble. (Personally, having a weak defense sends me to the antacid counter most every week..just really odd to see an AU team that gives up so many yards and points.)

We have so many players from the state of Georgia that have to listen to their Ga pals when they go home that I don’t think the players are overlooking GA either. This coaching staff and this particular team seem to be able to really focus on the game at hand.

While some of my AU pals that live in ATL would throttle me for saying this, the Dawgs are generally my second favorite SEC team. And I prefer the AU/GA rivalry by leaps and bounds over the ugly rivalry with the team from West AL. Just don’t rush the field if you win…I bet we can still find some hoses

Just to let you know that if Tech and Auburn wouldn’t have stopped playing every year, That would be the oldest rivalry in the South, but Tech went to the ACC…our loss I guess.

Uh, Pat. Auburn’s first team defense left the field in the Chattanooga game after 5 minutes into the second quarter. At that time, Chatt, had 0 points and 63 yards total offense. All Chatt’s points were scored against reserves and walk-on’s. It was Homecoming, everybody played.

Also, South Carolina, LSU, Mississippi State, Arkansas and so forth all have a better defense than UGA.
