No more talk, time to see what 2011 Georgia Bulldogs are made of
The countdown clock running most of this summer is almost down to all zeroes for Georgia and Boise State in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. I think we can all agree that we’re glad it’s finally here.
For us sportswriters, you really do get to the point that you’re tired of writing about what might happen and what could happen and about this player and that one. We, too, just want to see a game played so can analyze things from there. We’ll all get to do that come 8:15 p.m. tonight.
Before we do that, I wanted to make sure you had everything you might want to read up on about the game. Both Tim Tucker and I have been writing about this team and this game pretty much daily for the last month and often multiple times per day. Below I’ll list the most recent and most pertinent blogs and stories so you can just click on them in case you missed them or want to revisit a certain story or subject.
In the meantime, I’ll wrap up some household chores before heading down to the Dome to chronicle what promises to be an exciting night of college football. If I don’t see you down there I’ll see you here on the blog before the game.
Now, for some Boise-Georgia talk . . .
- Details from the Idaho Statesman on Boise State’s 3 suspended players
- Jasper Sanks eager to see if Isaiah Crowell can do what he couldn’t

Wonder what excuses Richt has for this season? Let’s see a recap of the past couple of years – Defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, youth, injuries, arrests, etc. Guess this year it will be simply that Idaho has better high school talent to draw from?

What cross-dresser came up with that horrible football uniform? Richt can’t mitigate his lousy coaching by making his players look like Outer Space Pimps!!! This coach is giving me more to laugh about that it almost keeps me from crying about the downhill football program trajectory!

Maybe we should try to recruit white athletes who are actually eligible for college courses and disciplined enough to play on a team. Or is it considered “racist” to note that we had only ONE white starter on a team in a state that is 75% white. It seems to me that something is terribly wrong here.

gdawg, more spoiled grapes. bsu probably wont play for the national championship. they could never let that happen for fear one of the “power conferences” best teams gets beat by a no aq team. but they sure did kick your teams arse didn’t they? and you think your dawgs are relevant? keep talking about the 2005 game if it helps you sleep better. but uga hasn’t been relevant for a decade or more. they haven’t been bullying anybody, so you shouldn’t worry about how bsu would do in the sec. you guys were 2 odd plays from losing by 30. you lost big, and your right it wasnt anything fabulous, they only beat the dogs, not ga tech or something like that.

Mr. Richt’s draws are so hot that when he sat down in his office chair, it caught fire. It’s gonna be a long year people. SEC hotseat resides in Athens.

I don’t think too many other SEC teams would have beaten Boise last night. JMO. I know the Bama folks think they would but Boise is for real.

Tough loss, but Boise State is for real! I congratulate UGA for playing a tough out of conference opponent so early and believe it will pay dividends later. And I’ll be pulling for you to win out until the last game in November!

Did you see that brilliant 80 yard run and our awesome passing touchdown. I tell – we are national contenders even with the Boise loss. Let’s run the table Dawgs!

UGA invited us to Atlanta,
the home of coke but the preferred drink is grape fanta.
They said they had the pedigree,
they being fans with no UGA degree.
They change up there uniforms for the day,
to show BSU they too can look gay.
In their minds they think they lost barely,
kind of like losing to Nick Fairley.
funny...

The Dawgs are made of losing and “awww shucks”
